"It seems that Xiaomo is interested in this Xuanyue Grass?" A chuckle came from beside her, and Jun Xiaomo knew who was speaking to her without turning her head.
Except for the second prince, he didn't think anyone would speak to her in this tone.
Resisting the urge to punch the opponent, Jun Xiaomo turned his head and said to the second prince, "Yes, so please be noble today and don't steal it from me, okay? I guess as the second prince, This Xuanyue Grass will not be looked down upon by the Second Prince."
The second prince shook his folding fan gracefully and said: "It is true that there are many grasses in my palace that are more precious than this Mysterious Moon Grass. A mere Mysterious Moon Grass is not a big deal. However, Well… "
Jun Xiaomo narrowed her eyes, feeling that what the second prince said next was definitely not what she wanted to hear.
Sure enough, the second prince then joked: "But, as I said, I never have the heart to refuse a beauty's request. Since little brother Yao is interested in this Xuanyue grass, then I will help little brother Yao take a photo of it." How about it? This can also save some money for little brother Yao. After all, when you are away from home, you always have to save some money."
Jun Xiaomo didn't even bother to put on a fake smile. He glanced at the Second Prince and said calmly: "No, thank you. The money in my storage ring is enough, and the Second Prince doesn't need to spend any money."
The second prince was about to say something when the auctioneer in the center of the venue began to introduce the functions of Xuanyuecao to everyone present -
"Xuanyue grass grows in extremely cold places. It must be picked during the Xuan month to achieve the best effect. After the Xuan month, the effect of Xuanyue grass decreases day by day, and it will be completely useless after ten days. This plant Mysterious Moon Grass was picked by our client in the middle of September, and was brought back with thousands of years of ice. Its efficacy is almost completely intact. In addition to being used to refine beauty elixirs, Mysterious Moon Grass also has a I'm afraid few people know its secret effect, which is to clear away evil spirits. It is particularly effective for those wounds damaged by the corrosion of evil spirits. It is the first choice spiritual herb for clearing away evil spirits and rejuvenating the skin. Dear guests, if you are interested, Please show your price. Don’t miss this opportunity, the one with the highest price will win...”
"Pfft..." Yu Wanrou chuckled and said with a sweet smile, "This auctioneer is pretty good at blowing, much better than the one yesterday."
After saying that, he looked at the second prince with beautiful eyes, eagerness and expectation in his eyes.
Xuanyue grass can be used to refine beauty elixirs. Yu Wanrou, who has a high pursuit of appearance, naturally does not want to let it go. What's more, she also wants to see it. When "Yao Mo" and she both want to When the second prince asked for this Xuanyue Grass, who would he give it to
Although the second prince did not reject his closeness, the other prince was obviously more interested in "Yao Mo", which made Yu Wanrou feel a strong sense of frustration and unwillingness.
Actually lost to a "man"? ! Yu Wanrou felt that this was a great shame and humiliation.
The second prince was also happy to see this happen. He waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "Both beauties want it, which makes me a little bit in a dilemma. Little brother Yao, what do you think? Who do you think I should give it to better?" ?”
The implication is that he will give this Xuanyue Grass to anyone who can make him happy.
The second prince said this, obviously wanting "Yao Mo" to compromise with him.
Jun Xiaomo raised his eyebrows and did not sell the second prince's account, but said directly to Yu Wanrou: "Sister Wanrou, you are short-handed and soft-spoken. Instead of letting the second prince spend money, why don't we bid freely and the highest bidder will win?" Okay, what do you think?"
Yu Wanrou bit her lower lip and said nothing, just looking at Jun Xiaomo with accusing eyes.
Seeing Yu Wanrou's watery eyes, as if she was about to shed tears of grievance, several disciples of the Xuyang Sect were unhappy. They felt that "Yao Mo" had bullied their junior sister Wanrou, and they couldn't help but angrily said: "You are such a big man. If a man grabs something from a girl, are you still a man?"
Jun Xiaomo laughed angrily and said: "I just proposed fair competition. Why, is this called bullying her? Could it be that I should hold the Xuanyuecao in front of her with both hands to be considered a 'true gentleman'?!"
What's more, she is not a "big man" to begin with, okay
After being glared at by Jun Xiaomo, the disciple of Xuyang Sect became silent and stopped talking.
In fact, in his opinion, "Yao Mo" should indeed give up the Xuanyue Grass to Yu Wanrou, but he couldn't say this. After all, the relationship between "Yao Mo" and Yu Wanrou was not a good one.
The second prince smiled and smoothed things over: "The bidding for the Mysterious Moon Grass has already started. If you don't hurry up and raise the price, little brother Yao, this Black Moon Grass will be taken away by others."
In the auction house, there were really many people who wanted to buy Xuanyue Grass, and the price had been raised to 60 high-grade spiritual stones.
However, except for Jun Xiaomo, other people who want to buy Xuanyue Grass are often female cultivators who love beauty, just like Yu Wanrou, so they will not really raise the price very high.
After sixty-five high-grade spiritual stones, the auctioneer began to count down.
"Eighty high-grade spiritual stones." Jun Xiaomo shouted loudly, causing many people present to focus on her.
Actually a "male cultivator"? ! They all looked at Jun Xiaomo in surprise.
"One hundred high-grade spiritual stones." The second prince raised the price again leisurely.
Jun Xiaomo glared at the second prince angrily. She thought he had given up on bidding!
The second prince smiled leisurely and said: "Since little brother Yao refuses to accept my favor, I have no choice but to help the beauty Wanrou take pictures."
For the first time, Jun Xiaomo felt that she had a "hate the rich" mentality. She really wanted to take out all the spiritual stones in the second prince's storage ring, and then stuff them all into the second prince's mouth.
Just when Jun Xiaomo was about to continue bidding angrily, someone held his hand.
She was stunned and looked towards Ye Xiuwen. Ye Xiuwen said softly but without hesitation: "Let's go."
"Huh?!" Jun Xiaomo didn't know why the senior brother suddenly held her hand and planned to take her away.
Ye Xiuwen stood up and said to the others present: "Xiao Mo and I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
"Ah... Hey! Brother Ye!" Jun Xiaomo wanted to take a picture of this Mysterious Moon Grass before talking about it. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiuwen held her hand too hard, so she could only follow Ye Xiuwen and stumbled away. .
The second prince looked at their leaving figures, smiled, and said, "Interesting, really interesting."
The eunuch behind the second prince lowered his head and remained silent, but in his heart he sighed slightly for "Yao Mo" -
If this "little boy" is willing to go along with the second prince once, then that's it. Maybe the second prince will soon lose interest in this "little boy", but this "little boy" just refuses the second prince again and again. temptation.
He knew that based on past experience, the more the other party rejected him, the more the Second Prince would become interested in him.
I'm afraid that the second prince will use some "extraordinary means" to force this "little boy", right? This has been the case for all these years, and it’s really numbing after seeing this kind of thing so often.
The great eunuch slowly suppressed the sympathy that arose in his heart.
After Ye Xiuwen brought Jun Xiaomo out, he walked down the street without saying a word. Jun Xiaomo stopped struggling and planned to go back, but Ye Xiuwen continued to hold her hand tightly, as if Jun Xiaomo would leave as soon as he let go.
Jun Xiaomo felt that Ye Xiuwen was angry, but she was not sure why he was angry or who he was angry with.
The surrounding shops were very lively with people coming and going, but their cheerful voices could not reach Jun Xiaomo's heart at all. There were only countless question marks and uneasiness in her heart.
Finally, when he reached a relatively remote place, Ye Xiuwen stopped.
"Um...Brother Ye, are you unhappy?" Jun Xiaomo felt that it was necessary for him to take the initiative to break the dead silence.
Ye Xiuwen looked forward intently. After a moment, he turned back, looked at Jun Xiaomo and asked, "Xiao Mo, did you want to take a photo of that Black Moon Grass for me?"
"Yes... yes." Jun Xiaomo pursed his lips, lowered his head, and admitted.
She knew that based on the auctioneer's introduction, it would not be difficult for Ye Xiuwen to guess her true purpose of taking the Xuanyue Grass.
Thinking of the Mysterious Moon Grass that had been soaked in soup, Jun Xiaomo felt a little angry. He raised his head, glared at Ye Xiuwen angrily, and said, "Brother Ye, you know the real identity of the Mysterious Moon Grass that I photographed." Purpose, why do you want to pull me out! With such a delay, Xuanyuecao will definitely be taken away by that hateful second prince!"
"Can you take the photo without delay?" Ye Xiuwen pointed out this point mercilessly.
Jun Xiaomo puffed up his cheeks depressedly, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
She really couldn't take pictures. Compared with the wealthy second prince, the spiritual stones in her storage ring were completely inadequate.
Ye Xiuwen sighed lightly, stepped forward, gently took "Yao Mo" into his arms, patted him on the back, and said, "Maybe my tone just now was a bit harsh, I'm sorry."
"Brother Ye, you don't need to apologize. I know you are doing it for my own good." Jun Xiaomo understood that if she really let the second prince succeed because of this Xuanyue grass, Ye Xiuwen would definitely be very unhappy.
What's more, the second prince kept competing with them for the auction items, didn't he just want Jun Xiaomo to compromise and get closer to him again and again
The second prince likes to use benefits to lure those "prey" to take the bait.
Ye Xiuwen tightened his arms and whispered: "Xiao Mo, don't promise the second prince anything for me."
"Brother Ye..." Jun Xiaomo wanted to say. Being forced by the second prince, sometimes he could pretend to compromise.
"Promise me." Ye Xiuwen said seriously, "Xiao Mo, I would rather the injury on my face never get better than to pay a price for a Xuanyue Grass."
Jun Xiaomo lowered his head and said, "Okay..."
Ye Xiuwen patted her head gently, his eyes dim for a moment.
In fact, he was not angry with Jun Xiaomo just now, but with himself - if he was stronger, would he be able to get rid of this situation of being manipulated
Ye Xiuwen clenched his fists, feeling strong unwillingness in his heart.
That night, Jun Xiaomo received a message paper crane. On the paper crane was written the name of the second prince, Rong Yebin.
Jun Xiaomo opened the paper crane, and Rong Yebin's teasing voice came from the paper crane: "Xiaomo, I have already taken a photo of the Xuan Yue grass. If you want it, I will arrive at midnight tonight." Let’s talk about my mansion.”
Jun Xiaomo tightened his lips, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
