Chapter 13: Quiet Grace
As the sun slowly sets, night falls silently. Ten thousand lights dot every corner of Chiyang City, and the bustling streets are bright and shimmering like the Milky Way.
The city is dazzling at night, the endless stream of pedestrians is noisy and lively, and the two teenagers shuttle side by side in the crowded crowd and slowly walk into the quiet pavilion.
Located in the middle of a bustling street, the Pavilion is guarded by a few guards outside the door, and only the powerful are allowed to enter.
Jing Ya Ge is extremely gorgeous in appearance, and in the palatial main hall, there are female maids in tight-fitting cheongsams who greet the guests and bring them to elegant and comfortable private rooms.
No matter how lively it is outside, as soon as you step through the main entrance, you will feel as if you are isolated from the rest of the world.
The old man in a white robe stood in the lobby, and when he saw the two teenagers entering, he stared at them with a slight brow. Thoughts: The little girl of the Fang family and the third young master of the Gu family are really as close as rumored.
The female maid in a tight-fitting cheongsam was about to step forward to greet her, but was stopped by the old man. The white-bearded old man walked forward and said softly, "Gu Yuxian's nephew, Fang Xin's little girl." Is it just the two of you today?"
Gu Yu nodded politely and did not look at the old man, and said, "Uncle Mo Xuan has worked, everything is as usual, just look at the dust hall." ”
Mo Xuan saw that Gu Yu didn't want to communicate with him, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "That's okay, then look at the dust hall." With that, Mo Xuan pointed to the female maid wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam. "Xiao Ju, take Young Master Gu Yu and Miss Fang Xin to the Wangchen Hall. ”
Push open the door and walk into the Dust Lookout Hall. Fang Xin stood and looked around, it was obvious that this was her first time coming.
"Miss Fang Xin, Young Master Gu Yu. I'm right outside the door, you can come to me for anything, and I'll do my best to accommodate everything. With that, he bowed down, closed the door and left.
Fang Xin was stunned, glared at Gu Yu and thought silently, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, thinking: "Satisfy everything, there is something in this little chrysanthemum?"
"There was a lot of nature in the room, and it was a great place for a tryst. Xiao Yuyu, do you often come here for pastime?" Fang Xin's eyebrows tightened, and there was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth.
Hearing this, Gu Yu pursed his lips and shook his head. He said indifferently: "Sister, don't you know me? I am an upright gentleman." I've been here a few times, but I've never had a pastime, have you?"
Seeing Gu Yu's eager appearance, Fang Xin wanted to laugh a little, but instead of letting go, he deliberately pretended to be angry, and said, "Hmph, you can't learn well at a young age. You're not here for fun, but you can still discuss national affairs with others?"
Hearing what Fang Xin said, Gu Yu also wanted to laugh. The boy went deep into the room, pointed to the landscape painting hanging on the wall, and moved it away. A yellow window emerges and opens the window. Looking at the bustling crowd, he whispered, "I like to come here when I'm alone." Look at the endless crowd below, watch them quarrel and frolic!"
Gu Yu shook his head helplessly, as the third young master of the Gu family, he was burdened with many controversies, and he didn't have many playmates when he was a child. I longed to have more friends, to be able to let go of my carefree play.
Perhaps the poor people yearn for glory and wealth, but he wants to live an ordinary life, but this is just a thought......
Fang Xin looked at Gu Yu, who was lonely, and felt quite uncomfortable. said: "Well, although the reason is a bit far-fetched, but my sister believes you." ”
Gu Yu walked out of the door and smiled at Xiao Ju. Xiao Ju saw Gu Yu with a smile on his face, but she was shocked and frightened in her heart.
Gu Yu saw that Xiaoju was a little strange, but he didn't ask much. said indifferently: "Xiaoju, serve some wine and food." ”
When Xiao Ju heard this, she settled down her heart that was hanging in her throat. Bowed down and hurried away......
The two teenagers sat at the small table in the window, drinking tea and wine, looking at the crowded street. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a smile......
Children are frolicking and wandering, and adults chase after them and shout at them to be careful.
Shouting, chasing, everyone had a different expression on their faces. Looking at their free and easy appearance, Gu Yu was envious in his heart......
"Tonight, the gathering will begin. When the time comes, if there is a suitable spirit beast auction, then we must auction it......" Fang Xin said slowly.
The gathering is commonly known as the gathering of dignitaries and nobles, but the gathering held in Jing Yage has different behaviors. The elegant gathering here is by no means a joke of the powerful, but a collection of people who come to auction some precious items and things that are not seen in the market. These things may not be sold elsewhere, but they are different. Jing Ya Ge is a product of the Mo family, not to mention that behind the Mo family is the Lan family, so nothing is sold here......
The stolen precious jewels have the natural treasures that have been stolen by killing people and stealing goods, and they also have the precious exercises and quality weapons that cultivators yearn for, and even the sale of fierce beasts in the mountains and fields strictly prohibited by Sanyang Kingdom, as well as the spirit beasts that Fang Xin just said......
Beasts are divided into fierce beasts, demon beasts, demonic beasts, and special spirit beasts.
The most common mountain tiger and wolf is the beast, which lives in the mountains and jungles for a long time and is just an ordinary carnivore. The fierce beast is different, it can already absorb the true qi of heaven and earth to conceive itself, and has a trace of wisdom. Demon beasts already have wisdom and can cultivate......
Spirit beast is just a general term, you have to take the young beast babies born from fierce beasts, demon beasts or demonic beasts, and the beast babies within three months, the mind has not yet eroded the blood and conceived with their own essence and blood, and they can cultivate feelings and train them for their own use......
Gu Yu turned around and nodded at Fang Xin, but there was a wry smile in his heart, and said, "If there are really spirit beasts for sale, then we will try our best to get it." ”
Spirit beasts are not very interested in it, practitioners are mainly inclined to high-level exercises and divine weapons, which can improve the strength of the cultivator himself, and with the strength, there will be more opportunities, and the cultivator knows what he needs most. However, the powerful people are extremely interested in spirit beasts, they do not use spirit beasts for cultivation, but are willing to domesticate spirit beasts into pets, showing off everywhere every day, and comparing with each other......
......
There is a rule in the city of Sanyang that the shops in each street must be closed after the sea. The lights of the shops on the street gradually went out, and the tourists on the road gradually left.
At this time, the pavilion was overcrowded, and wooden chairs were placed in order in the central hall. Each wooden chair has a serial number, and in the middle of the hall is a unique balcony where the auction items are displayed.
I don't know how long it took, and the cultivators in the Jing Ya Pavilion sat down on the wooden chairs in order with the number plate in their hands. The noise downstairs gradually became louder......
The noise came into the Wangchen Hall, and the two teenagers sitting cross-legged opened their eyes. Gu Yu slowly stood up and opened the door gently, looking at the downstairs full of people. His eyes swept over the crowd and he frowned. Thinking silently, there are so many people tonight, could it be that today's auction items have been leaked? With so many people, if a spirit beast appears, maybe the auction will need to be wasted again. "Xiaoju, is the auction about to start?"
Xiao Ju turned to Gu Yu and bowed slightly. He smiled lightly and said, "Young Master Guyu, the auction." A pillar of incense will start, and if there is anything you like, you can tell the slave maid, and I will help the young master raise the card. ”
Everyone looked at Gu Yu, who opened the door slightly, with a trace of contempt in their eyes. It's the children of the powerful family again, and they come to join in the fun.
Gu Yu didn't pay attention to the eyes of everyone downstairs, after all, those people had different expressions in their eyes, some were envious and hoped that one day they could become honored guests, and some were ridiculed and thought that they were uneducated and unskilled.
Gu Yu has long been accustomed to these. He has been special since he was a child, and his ability to resist pressure is extremely strong, and the eyes of these people can no longer be moved.
Gu Yu nodded slightly to Xiao Ju and beckoned to follow him into the room......
Xiao Ju was slightly stunned, and her heart was extremely flustered. Thoughts: The auction is about to start, and the young master of the Gu family should not do anything to him at this time, not to mention that there is still Miss Fang in the room.
Fang Xin saw Gu Yu and Xiao Ju who had entered the room, and just wanted to ask something. Seeing Xiao Ju's panicked appearance, he stopped again. His eyes swept over Gu Yu, a little angry.
When Gu Yu saw this, he was also a little unclear. Puzzled, he said, "Xiaoju, why are you so flustered?"
Xiao Ju saw that Gu Yu and Fang Xin were a little angry, and almost cried. said in a low voice: "The slave and maid should be damned, the two who shouldn't be provoked are unpleasant, Xiaoju has no complaints about beating and punishing!"
When Fang Xin saw Xiaoju, her eyes were full of tears. asked: "What's the matter, did Gu Yu bully you?" You just say it, I'll make the decision for you." ”
Hearing this, Gu Yu also hurriedly said, "Sister Fang Xin, I don't have it." Xiao Ju, you can tell me something, don't cry!"
Xiao Ju exhaled a few deep breaths and calmed her emotions. said softly: "It's okay, it's the slave who thinks too much." A few days ago, my sisters confessed that if the upstairs guest called me into the room, I must take the initiative to surrender and provide considerate service, and I must not be lazy. Otherwise, you'll die!"
Gu Yu heard what the woman said, and then he came to his senses. It's no wonder that when I went in and out to talk to you just now, everyone downstairs cast stares at me.........
