"Check on her." Xiao Jun threw away the handkerchief that he used to wipe himself from the spot that woman had touched, glanced at the woman with disgust before he remained sitting. "See if she carries something with her."

It took time for Liu Wei and the other two guards to register the command. Realizing there wasn't any move from his subordinates, Xiao Jun knitted his brows tightly.

"What are you waiting for? New year?" He looked at Liu Wei disapprovingly.

Receiving Xiao Jun's glare and discontent words, Liu Wei regained his composure and hurriedly replied. "Yes, yes… master."

Liu Wei squatted down and checked on the woman, he wanted to make sure that the woman had died, but when he touched her neck, he could feel the faint throb under her skin.

She is still alive!

Xiao Jun didn't kill her. She was only unconscious.

Liu Wei let out the breath that he didn't realize he was holding, somehow he felt relief that his Master didn't do the thing that he thought he would do and also for the fact he didn't kill the woman. It was quite unacceptable to kill her, furthermore if they didn't know if this woman had another intention except seducing Xiao Jun.

Liu Wei signaled to the two guards to bring the woman to the corner of the room and check on her.

A loud noise from gongs from the center of the arena that followed with the uproar from the people on the benches was a signal that the golden auction would start.

Xiao Jun stood up and walked toward the terrace to look the opening performance of the auction. It last for more than five minutes before the host of the auction sauntered inside the arena.

The inside of the room and the terrace was only divided by thick black curtain, the terrace was like a box, people in the next room couldn't see him also the opposite and bellow them as it was too dark.

Below him, the host was wearing dark blue robes with golden mask on his face, for a man, he wasn't very tall and looked like teenager, but when he talked, his mature voice would give up the idea if he was only a youngster.

His voice sounded mature and steady.

"Good evening everyone. I am Tang Zhenghao, your host for this golden auction tonight!" Tang Zhenghou spread his arms and signaled to the man behind him to bring the first item into the middle of the arena.

The introduce was kept simple and short as many important people there who didn't like to drag their time for unnecessary things.

Hence, with that the first items was being auction.

The first item was an ancient sword that held many history, it was a sword from the Azura's Kingdom and had been used from generation to generation. The authenticity had been proved.

Xiao Jun was squinted his eyes to look the sword. It was indeed the real one.

"How they can get their hand on that sword?" Liu Wei, who was standing beside Xiao Jun, mumbled. "The thief is so impressing."


"Get that sword." Xiao Jun said calmly to Liu Wei before he went inside and sat on the his seat again, brewing some tea for himself.

Since Xiao Jun ordered him to get that sword, it was only naturally that he would bid for it. Liu Wei's eyes lit up. This was an easy job and so relaxing.

He could bid as higher as he want, pretending to be a rich man for a moment, after all the money that would be used wasn't his, hence he didn't need to think twice to outbid the other bidder.

Inside the room, one of the guards who were checking on the courtesan walked closer toward Xiao Jun and put down a red handkerchief and small blade on the table.

"This subordinate finds this on the woman's body." He informed him, kneeling on the ground.

"Handkerchief?" Xiao Jun wasn't surprised to find a blade on that woman but what the use of the handkerchief?

"This subordinate has run a poison test on the handkerchief as it turns out, the handkerchief contain with aphrodisiac." He said.

Xiao Jun chuckled upon hearing that. "Those people are really not creative." He glanced at the blade. "How about the blade?"

Small blade like that wouldn't be possible to hurt him if there was nothing smeared on it.

"The blade is normal blade, but…" The guard stopped, hesitant.

"But?" Xiao Jun prodded.

"But, this subordinate thinks she is a doctor." He said.

"What makes you think that way?"

"There is a faint smell of medicine on her hands." The guard lowered his head, he was afraid his Master would get the wrong idea about what he did, it was strange to smelling someone after all, actually he just blessed with sensitive nose, he didn't mean anything else.

The doctor was often to make their own medicine and some of the medicinal ingredients have strong smell that would leave a faint scent of it.

"Good job." Not like what the guard had been afraid of, his master didn't ask further about it.

Doctor…?

The corner of Xiao Jun's lips moved upward.

Indeed, as a doctor she was prominent about human body, with the right incision, she could take his life just like that.

"Master, what we should do to the woman?" He asked again.

Xiao Jun glanced at the guard as his eyes darkened. "Bring her to another room, you can do whatever you want with her." His replied was very clear.

The guard was dumbfounded. "Whatever this subordinate want?" He reiterated Xiao Jun's words foolishly.

"Should I repeat myself?" Now Xiao Jun glared at him.

Hurriedly, the guard banged his head on the floor and excused himself. "No, No master. This subordinate understands and thanks master."

With that was being said, hurriedly he left the room with broad smile on his face when he told the other guard, both of them left the room excitedly, carrying the beautiful lady on his shoulder.

It was a very rare opportunity for having a beautiful woman like this.

Thus, both of them should cherish it to the fullest.

In the other hand, Xiao Jun sipped his tea nonchalantly. Since the woman was willingly throw herself toward a stranger, why he didn't fulfill her wish that coincidentally was the same wish as his subordinates. He could see it from their eyes.

Not long after the guards left the room energetically, Liu Wei opened the black curtain and informed his master that he managed to secure the sword with the price one million and two hundred thousand taels.

Liu Wei thought Xiao Jun would surprise with the price, but his thought was evidently wrong, his master even didn't spare him a glance when he heard that.

Alright, rich and n.o.ble people was indeed different with their value of money.

"Later, collect the sword." Xiao Jun said.

"Yes, Master." Liu Wei said and then his eyes scoped around the room but wasn't able to find the two guards who were supposed to be guarding near the door. "Where are they…" He mumbled in annoyance while walking across the room.

How dare they left their post empty, leaving their master alone!? Liu Wei was furious.

"I told them to take care of the woman." Xiao Jun said. "We still one more item, stand there and inform me if the item is being auction." He pointed the terrace with his chin.

Puzzled, Liu Wei nodded anyway and walked back to the terrace, watching one after another items were being sold.

The auction didn't limited to inanimate object, but they were also selling poison, information, a virgin woman, and a swordsman.

The guard on the arena brought inside a battered young man and put him in the center.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.

The young man was chained up from his ankle up to his mouth, his bleeding scars was an eyesore for the eyes. He probably wouldn't make it to see the light of the sun tomorrow.

But, his eyes still glimmered with hatred and resentment. He was obviously a stubborn young swordsman.

"His name is Lu Wan!" The host introduce his eighth item and brief the audience with his story background and why he was worth it to be bought.

Apparently, this young man named Yang Yu was a remarkable a.s.sa.s.sin who managed to steal an important map from Xi clan, but refused to divulge the location.

To buy him it would be quite tricky and depend on how the owner of this guy played the information in their hand, after all Xi clan was one of the prominent clan in Zodasian Kingdom that couldn't be easily to trifle with.

"Even though he injured pretty bad, but this guy is tough, he will not die easily." Tang Zhenghou as the host tried in every possible to convince his audience about Lu Wan's value. "Xi Clan will pay more for this, I a.s.sured you."

Or, they would simply kill the buyer and took Lu Wan with them, but Tang Zhenghou wouldn't say something like that.

It was indeed too dangerous and not just anyone who could afford the risk.

And about the authenticity of the information, no one would question this auction credibility. Many absurd information could suddenly appear in this golden auction.

And for the Xi clan, that clan had never made an appearance in the black market, so it most likely they didn't have any idea that they information was being auction like this.

The start for Lu Wan's price was one hundred thousand taels, someone bid him slightly higher, but when there was another person outbid him, the previous bidder didn't raise the price, seemingly didn't very sure and serious about the idea to buy the 'item'.

The bidding of Lu Wan last less than two minutes, the final price for him was two hundred and seventy thousand taels, Tang Zhenghua was quite please with the result, but after no one wanted to bid higher he needed to close the deal.

"Two hundred and seventy thousand taels going once…" He shouted to the audience. "…Going twice."

When it almost closed the deal someone from the next two rooms from Xiao Jun shouted his price.

"Five hundred thousand taels!" He said.

This last moment of bidding was unexpected, but Tang Zhenghua seemingly quite happy to get more money.

Of course there was no one would raise the price more than five hundred thousand taels for a man who almost died with the risk to get Xi clan's bad side, it wasn't worth it.

"… Five hundred thousand taels going thrice." Tang Zhenghua slammed the hammer as a sign of finality. "This man with his secret will go to our honorable guest number eleven."

Liu Wei stretched his neck to see who would buy that man, but he couldn't see his figure. It was too dark and gloomy up there.

However, he felt like he had heard that voice somewhere and quite familiar with it.

The callous and slightly arrogant voice like this was something that reminded him of Xiao Jun younger brother… Xiao Tianyao!

But Xiao Tianyao wasn't supposed to be there…

While Liu Wei was contemplating about the owner of the room number eleven, the next item had been brought into the center of the arena.

It was a big cage covered with black curtain and needed six burly men to push it inside to be auctioned.

"And this is the last item for tonight!" Tang Zhenghua kept the suspense as he didn't remove the curtain immediately. "Another items from the former of Xinghe Kingdom!"

After he talked about one more minutes to lift the mood, he eventually removed the curtain as the black curtain fell down there was a lot of gasp across the arena.

Most of them were coming from those wives from the wealthy family who wanted to feel the thrilled of the auction.

The sound of murmuring spread across the room like buzzing bees.

"That's the item." Suddenly Xiao Jun's voice rang beside Liu Wei as his master had stood beside him, tall and mighty, looking down at the big cage below him with cold eyes and dreary mood.
