Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

But she couldn't quite figure it out...

Evil...

Despite the other party's overtures, Gu Nanzhi remained completely unmoved, as Jun Yanchen was solely focused on probing the other party's identity.

Seeing that Jun Yanchen was unresponsive to Gu Nanzhi's words, the man in black opposite her seemed to have lost his patience as well. He placed his slender fingers on his teacup and tapped it lightly, while his eyes glanced at the person next to him, seemingly unintentionally.

Gu Nanzhi, whose attention had been focused on the somewhat sinister-looking man, suddenly had a deep look in her eyes.

Following the concealment of the table, she gently tugged at Jun Yanchen's sleeve, simultaneously slipping a small object into his hand.

The subtle interactions between the two seemed to require no further explanation; the other could easily catch even the smallest gesture from one of them.

What Gu Nanzhi handed over wasn't just placed in Jun Yanchen's hand; she also gently pulled his fingers and crushed it.

It's medicinal powder...

After making her little gesture, Gu Nanzhi's gaze fell directly on the strange man who made her feel uncomfortable.

As the powder crumbled in Jun Yanchen's hand, sure enough, within moments, Gu Nanzhi saw a fleeting look of surprise and disbelief in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe something was amiss.

As the emotions in his eyes changed, he finally looked directly at Gu Nanzhi and Jun Yanchen. With that one glance, his eyes met Gu Nanzhi's.

It was just that one glance that made it seem like both of them gained something.

However, one person seemed to have confirmed it, while the other seemed to have doubts...

At this point, Gu Nanzhi stood up abruptly, and Jun Yanchen beside her also stood up.

"Bidding continues, goodbye."

Jun Yanchen, Gu Nanzhi, and Cang Ling left the VIP room number 1. As soon as they turned around, Gu Nanzhi's expression became serious.

The expressions on the faces of those who remained in the Earth-class private room were also not good, especially the person who made Gu Nanzhi feel strange.

"Young master, the person opposite you is not simple. The Gu I released was blocked."

"Oh?"

This is truly unexpected; there is such a capable person in the capital.

This only made people more curious about his identity.

"Those medicinal herbs..."

"Forget it, if they won't budge, even if we get it today, it's not worth the price."

After a brief meeting, the eye-catching, priceless Destruction Flower ultimately ended up in the hands of the Emperor's Private Room.

This result is still somewhat disappointing.

After all, the others waiting to watch the show were anticipating the first time they'd seen an auction paused midway, thinking they'd have to compete again after it ended to see just how high a price that medicinal herb would fetch.

As it turned out, the snacks served by the Dark Tower were still unfinished when the outcome was already decided. Not only did they fail to witness the expected scramble, but the prices remained the same as those previously offered for the top-tier private rooms.

The people in the VIP box actually gave in.

However, it's not surprising when you think about it; it's not hard to understand why the Earth-class VIP room couldn't compete with the Heaven-class VIP room.

Back in the top-tier private room, Gu Nanzhi wasn't too concerned about the rare and precious medicinal herb; her thoughts were still on the people in the bottom-tier private room.

"Huaiqing, Bian Chen, send someone to keep an eye on the people in the Earth-class private room,"

She spoke these words without her usual ease, showing that she was serious. She even called Bian Chen by his name, whereas she usually called him Young Master Bian Chen.

"Um"

Jun Yanchen responded immediately, but Bian Chen remained silent for a moment, his gaze shifting between the two with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

However, he didn't hesitate for long before turning around, leaving the private room, and then returning to the private room.

"I've already sent someone to keep an eye on it."

After saying this, Bian Chen unceremoniously sat down in front of the two and poured himself another glass of water.

"Tell me, what did you find just now?"

As the leader of this Dark Tower, he personally set the rules, but now he's breaking them for his brothers. However, he's genuinely curious about how these two have suddenly become interested in the people over there.

Under his probing gaze, Gu Nanzhi finally spoke slowly.

"The man inside knows how to use witchcraft."

The mention of the word 'Gu' seemed to make everything clear; after all, they were all eager to find someone in the capital who knew how to use that stuff.

I never expected to run into this today.

At first, Gu Nanzhi just felt uncomfortable with the man, finding him somewhat eerie and incomprehensible. But what could she do? She had sharp eyes and spotted the little thing crawling under his clothes. In that one glance, everything seemed to become clear.

Now I understand why that person gave off an uncomfortable, eerie feeling.

It really is evil...

She wasn't sure at first, but after seeing the man's subtle movements, she was certain.

That's why she gave us the medicine powder.

"Nan Nan, the medicine powder from earlier?"

Jun Yanchen asked the question he was certain of, but still wanted to hear what Gu Nanzhi had to say.

"That's right. Our Huaiqing is so stubborn and ungrateful when others try to be nice to her. It's no wonder people want to use underhanded tactics. It's a pity that they ran into me."

Look how arrogant she is! Jun Yanchen couldn't help but squeeze her hand. The two of them were showing off their affection in front of Bian Chen.

"Nan Nan is the best, thank you Nan Nan for protecting me."

Tsk tsk tsk...

Look at how spoiled he is, Bian Chen simply can't bear to look.

Gu Nanzhi is really something... How come it's so easy to change your gender after getting involved with her?

Jun Yanchen, the Silver Fox Prince he knew, is now a completely different person. Even those around him treat Gu Nanzhi, who has entered their lives, differently...

Actually... he had to admit that he himself was also impressed by Gu Nanzhi after meeting her.

Whether it was the different temperament she displayed compared to other women, even princesses and daughters of royal families or young ladies from wealthy households,

Or perhaps it was her exceptional medical skills, or the composure she displayed when faced with unfamiliar situations...

In short, after getting to know him, Bian Chen had to admit that no matter how many people he had met in his travels, Gu Nanzhi was still the most suitable and the most compatible person to stand beside Jun Yanchen.

Thinking of this, Bian Chen suddenly picked up the teapot and personally poured hot tea for Jun Yanchen and Gu Nanzhi, and then poured tea for himself as well.
