In the private room on the second floor, after hearing the deal was worth 100,000 taels, Tingfeng looked at Lu Zhan in dumbfounded.

It was so satisfying when Lu Zhan raised the price just now.

Now, compared to Lu Zhan's 100,000 taels for the golden silkworm, his just-bid 10,000 taels for the Mengyi Flower was nothing.

Lu Zhan noticed Tingfeng's gaze and touched his nose awkwardly.

He just saw Su Yuejian staring at the golden silkworm intently, more seriously than he had looked at anything else before.

Of course he couldn't let Yue'er down. It was only 100,000 taels, no big deal.

Why is Tingfeng looking at him so resentfully?

Seeing that Tingfeng was still staring at him, Lu Zhan coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "Ahem... Yue'er, since you like this golden silkworm so much, why don't you let Tingfeng go down and get it for you now?"

Su Yuejian was surprised and asked, "Is it possible?"

Lu Zhan smiled and nodded, "Of course! Tingfeng, take the banknote and pay the money!"

Tingfeng finally understood that the young master only allowed the officials to set fires but not Tingfeng to light a lamp!

But since it was all for the princess's happiness, he didn't feel it was a big deal.

Tingfeng nodded and went out.

Xiao Chengchang, who was sitting in the private room on the third floor, was so angry that he almost died!

I didn’t get to take a picture of the Dream Flower, and now the Golden Silkworm is gone too!!

His face was gloomy and scary, his eyes were full of rage, and he said sternly,

"Go and investigate! Who is in Room 4? No matter what means you have to use, bring the golden silkworm back to me!"

Ye Zong took the order and left.

After a cup of tea, Tingfeng came back with the things.

He returned to the private room and handed an exquisite brocade box to Su Yuejian.

Su Yuejian opened the brocade box, and inside was a golden silkworm, about the length of her little finger. Its body was divided into nine small sections, and its head was slightly raised, as if it was spinning silk. It looked almost the same as a real silkworm.

Su Yuejian picked up the gold nugget and examined it carefully for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was, and she became even more confused.

What does Xiao Chengchang want this thing for?

But seeing how anxious he was just now, this thing seemed very important.

Seeing Su Yuejian's worried look, Lu Zhan asked softly, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Su Yuejian came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head.

"Of course, I like it very much. Look, Third Brother, this golden silkworm is so realistic!"

Anyway, at least I got the thing. I'll study it carefully when I get back.

Looking at Su Yuejian's sweet smile, Lu Zhan felt relieved, "As long as Yue'er likes it."

In the private room in the corner of the third floor, Fang Xiaoxuan dug her nails into her palms, her eyes filled with jealousy.

The second floor was filled with the best and most expensive private rooms, and they were already fully occupied. With the money she brought, she could only buy a private room in the corner of the third floor if she wanted to be closest to Lu Zhan.

Fang Xiaoxuan stared at the closed window of Su Yuejian's private room on the second floor.

Lu Zhan has never liked gold and jade. She just heard that they took pictures of flowers and golden silkworms in the private room. She thought it was that woman who took the pictures, but she saw that the person who went to pay was Tingfeng who was beside Lu Zhan!

It seems that these things were taken by Lu Zhan for that woman!

He actually spent so much money on these things!

Is it to please that woman?

The more Fang Xiaoxuan thought about it, the more jealous she became. She didn't know where this vixen came from to make Lu Zhan treat her like this!

"Who is that woman?"

The maid shook her head and said, "My lady, the woman is wearing a veil and her face cannot be seen. I..."

The anger in Fang Xiaoxuan's eyes grew stronger, and she said to the maid, "Come here!" She turned her head and whispered something to the maid.

The maid frowned but didn't dare to refute, so she bowed and accepted the order and left.

The noise continued in the hall.

"The next item is the Nine-Section Whip. It's made of nine interlocking metal rings. When swung, it resembles the dance of a dragon or snake, with endless variations. Starting price: sixty taels."

Su Yuejian put away the brocade box and saw the nine-section whip shimmering with silver light, which looked very domineering.

Suddenly remembering that Xuan Shuang's favorite weapon was the whip, he turned around and asked Yuzhu to ring the bell, "One hundred taels."

"Room A4 bids one hundred taels!"

Lu Zhan was puzzled, "Yue'er knows martial arts?"

Su Yuejian shook her head. "No, but the secret guards around me are good at using whips. I think that nine-section whip seems very powerful."

Lu Zhan glanced at the nine-section whip below the stage. Although he had not joined the army, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was very familiar with these weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.

He remembered that Su Yanzhou had mentioned in the message he had given him before that Su Yuejian now had only one female secret guard protecting her, and he hoped that his grandfather could send some people with good martial arts skills to protect her.

Later, Lu Zhan heard that his grandfather gave Qingshan, the most powerful leader of the secret guards, to Su Yuejian. Qingshan was good at using a sword, so the one she mentioned who was good at using a whip should be the female secret guard.

"That nine-section whip is good, but it's more suitable for men. If you want to give it to the secret guard, I have a spirit snake soft thorn whip that would be more suitable."

Su Yuejian nodded. She didn't know much about these weapons. After hearing what Lu Zhan said, she felt that the Nine-Section Whip was indeed not suitable.

"Two hundred taels!"

"Room B3 offers two hundred taels!"

Su Yue was stunned when she heard the servant's price, then raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seems that her two actions just now were too obvious and seemed to have attracted Xiao Chengchang's attention.

"Six hundred taels!"

"Room A4 bids six hundred taels!"

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Room B3 is priced at 12,000 taels!"

The guests were stunned. What happened today? It seemed like the guests in these two rooms were arguing with each other!

When will this nine-section whip be able to be sold for ten thousand taels!

"Room A4 is offered at 30,000 taels!"

"Yue'er, aren't you going to buy it for that female secret guard of yours?"

Su Yuejian smiled slyly.

Originally yes, but then I heard that the nine-section whip was not suitable and wanted to let it go.

But Xiao Chengchang probably was so angry that his things were stolen that he raised the price to retaliate against her, so she took the opportunity to trick him!

Ye Ying said, "Your Majesty, this nine-section whip is not worth thirty thousand taels..."

Xiao Chengchang's eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and he didn't care whether it was worth it or not. Since Room A4 dared to steal his things, he would not let the people from Room A4 succeed!

As for the golden silkworm and Mengyi flower, he curled his lips slightly and decided to wait until Jia Si's men left Wanbao Pavilion and then send someone to take them back.

"Bid! Fifty thousand taels!"

The waiter rang the bell and called out, "Room B3 is priced at fifty thousand taels!"

Chen Mai glanced at the second floor.

Princess Minghua raised the price quite aggressively this time, as if she was deliberately targeting Room B3.

Seeing that Su Yuejian wanted it, Lu Zhan wanted to raise the price, but Su Yuejian stopped him, "Third brother, I don't want it anymore."

Lu Zhan was puzzled, "Really?"

Su Yuejian nodded, "The Spirit Snake Soft Thorn Whip is more suitable. I don't like this Nine-Section Whip."

Lu Zhan looked at her deeply and sensed something was wrong.

Seeing that Su Yue was no longer making any sound in the room, Chen Mai immediately understood what she meant and said loudly,

"Fifty thousand taels sold! Congratulations to the guest in Room B3 for winning the Nine-Section Whip!"

Ye Ying wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Fifty thousand taels to buy a nine-section whip... This is really unprecedented!

Although he was muttering to himself, he had to suppress his opinions when facing Xiao Chengchang's sinister eyes.
