Chapter 382 Yuesong City
Fanglai Kingdom, Yuesong City.
It turns out that the entire Fanglai Kingdom is shaped like a crescent moon, and Yuesong City is almost identical to the entire map of Fanglai Kingdom, just like a miniature version of Fanglai Kingdom, also shaped like a crescent moon.
The tall, silvery-white city walls encircled the city like a crescent moon.
At the center of the crescent-shaped concave surface lies the magnificent city gate.
The city gate, painted in bright red, stands out against the surrounding silver-white walls.
The strange architectural style has attracted the attention of countless passersby. Everyone who passes by can see the three characters written high on the city wall: Yue Song City!
At this moment, a squad of soldiers dressed in moon-white uniforms were guarding the city gate.
And the city of Moonpine has indeed been bustling with activity these past few days.
Because the Bao family is going to hold another large auction.
Basically, all the prominent figures in the country come here to feast their eyes.
Moreover, many of these people are experts, and many have come with different purposes. In particular, the highest-ranking item in this auction—the tulip—has attracted countless envious glances.
"Wow, Moon Pine City is so lively!" Feng Mei said excitedly, holding Leng Yun's arm tightly, even feeling a little nervous.
"Indeed, the liveliest time here is when there are auctions, and the liveliness here can even be compared with that of Liangcheng in the capital," Grand Tutor Pang explained.
As expected, even the flow of people entering the city was very slow at this time, so Leng Yun and his group had to line up at the back of the crowd and move forward little by little.
About half an hour later, Leng Yun and the other two finally arrived at the city gate.
"What are you doing in the city? Where are you from?" the soldiers guarding the city asked.
Because of the recent auction, security has naturally been strengthened considerably.
“We’re here to attend the auction; we come from the eastern desert region,” Leng Yun said.
The guards glanced at Leng Yun a few times but couldn't discern anything unusual. They then said, "Go in, but judging from your poor appearance, it will be difficult for you to participate in the auction!"
Leng Yun smiled, ignoring the soldiers' words, and led Feng Mei and Grand Tutor Pang into Moon Pine City.
In the city, the streets were neat and orderly, with vendors constantly calling out their wares, and people coming and going in an endless stream, creating a lively scene.
Most of the people on the street were talking about the auction.
Wherever Leng Yun went, all she heard was about the auction:
"I heard that the royal family will also be attending this auction."
"Of course! I heard there are some good things to be auctioned off this time, like tulip branches. Who wouldn't want to get them?"
The three walked several hundred meters before finally finding an inn. They stayed there and inquired about the auction.
"What? The three of you also want to participate in the auction?" The waiter looked disdainful.
"What? Doesn't it look like it?" Feng Mei asked, raising her eyebrows.
The waiter sneered, "It's not that I look down on you, but the items at this auction are extremely valuable, so basically all the important figures in the country have come. As you know, each auction can only accommodate a thousand people. It's fine on ordinary days, but this time, it's definitely not up to us ordinary people."
"Then, with so many people in this city, wouldn't most of them be unable to see the auction?" Feng Mei asked curiously. "Then what are all these people doing here?"
The waiter looked smug: "These people are just here to join in the fun. They heard about the auction from the outside and came all the way here."
Leng Yun exclaimed in admiration, "So that's how it is. It seems that the Bao family's auction is indeed extraordinary."
The waiter was very smug and continued, "To tell you the truth, I actually know a lot of information. Many people ask me for information because I have a relative who works for the Bao family!"
Seeing the waiter's smug look, Leng Yun couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh, I see. My apologies!"
The waiter chuckled, "Hehe, seeing how cooperative you are, I'll tell you a shocking secret!"
"What secret?" Feng Mei asked curiously.
The waiter looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the tulip branch that the Bao family is using this time isn't for auction, but for a reward!"
"A bounty?" Even Grand Tutor Pang was somewhat interested this time.
"Yes, it's actually kind of an auction, except the stakes aren't money, but a head!" the waiter said, deliberately trying to pique the waiter's interest.
Feng Mei looked at the waiter suspiciously: "You're bragging!"
The waiter blushed and said, "No, that's not it. Let me tell you another secret: Bao Guang, the second young master of the Bao family, has been murdered!"
Leng Yun's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that this waiter did indeed know some inside information.
The waiter swallowed hard and continued, "That's why the Bao family came up with this method: whoever can bring the murderer's head can get the tulip branch!"
Leng Yun sighed, "So that's how it is!"
After the waiter left, the three of them sat in the room and discussed the matter.
"No wonder the Bao family brought out such a treasure; they wanted to investigate the murderer!" Grand Tutor Pang said.
Feng Mei looked at Leng Yun with some worry: "Brother Yun, what should we do now? With the temptation of the tulip, won't you be hunted down by many experts?"
Leng Yun did not answer, but looked thoughtful. He had not expected the Bao family to have such a move.
It seems that what Bao Guang said before he died was right; offending a powerful family was indeed not a good thing.
After a long pause, Leng Yun had an idea: "If we're going to do something, we might as well go all the way. Since the Bao family wants my life, I'll take theirs first."
"Haha, good! I'm really starting to admire you more and more," Grand Tutor Pang laughed.
“Since the Ice Emperor admires Brother Yun so much, why not take him as his disciple?” Feng Mei said, seizing the opportunity.
Grand Tutor Pang chuckled: "Haha, you little rascal, you know how to side with your husband."
Feng Mei blushed and said shyly, "Old Pang, you're just making fun of me!"
Grand Tutor Pang laughed and said, "With Brother Leng Yun's talent, this old man is not worthy to be his teacher!"
Leng Yun smiled and said, "Let's stop joking and think about how we can get into the auction."
Grand Tutor Pang put down his teacup, looked at Leng Yun, and continued, "To enter the auction hall, you need two things: money and power!"
“We can’t compete with them on the path of money, because there are too many wealthy people from Fanglai Country this time. The only path is strength!” Feng Mei said.
Grand Tutor Pang nodded: "Yes, I have inquired about it. The Bao family is setting up a competition in the city. Anyone whose cultivation level exceeds the Sound Martial Realm can participate in the auction and will receive the best hospitality from the Bao family."
Leng Yun gave a bitter laugh: "It seems the Bao family is recruiting talent, and they want my head..."
