Chapter 49: What the H*ll?!

However, although the girl looked cute, Yun Shu didn’t have any interest in her. She didn’t have any interest in the stage, not until the sound of zither came in her ears, which made her look up subconsciously.

The guy wore a white gown that reflected his flower-like innocence, as he played the zither with his eyes closed, it was as if the serene moon was showering everyone in a gentle light.

Yun Shu’s eyes went wide as she gaped at the guy sitting before her, she didn’t expect to meet him this way.

’Isn’t that Bai Yunxian?! What the f*ck is he doing here???’

She already knew that Bai Yunxian left home by tricking her people, yet she didn’t expect this situation; not even in her wildest dreams!

However, the scene before her was too angelic to stop it. Even so, the grip of her fist tightened even more as she couldn’t take her eyes off of him.

The sound of zither was slowly changing into a heated one, and the people around them were also getting more and more excited. The moment he reached the climax, a gentle string stirred up the crowd as it slowly came down in a mellow ending.

Bai Yunxian could feel the intense stare which had slight killing intent within them since a while ago.

A chill was creeping up to Bai Yunxian’s back as he felt a sense of danger, the kind of danger that comes from being targeted by a ferocious beast. It caused Bai Yunxian to tense up, but he didn’t shoot his head up till the performance ended.

And the moment he opened his eyes, he turned his line of sight as a trace of icy killing intent sprang from his pitch-black eyes; however, it unexpectedly clashed with a pair of placid and austere red-colored phoenix eyes.

Bai Yunxian’s heart sank with a thump for some reason.

The look in Yun Shu’s eyes right now was truly terrific.

’He dares to come in such a place behind my back, and I’m dying from work just to save him from these filthy rats! How dare he!’

Yun Shu was fuming madly, and her reason was justified, although Bai Yunxian didn’t know the real purpose, he couldn’t refute either.

What’s more, right now he didn’t know that Yun Shu actually realized his identity after wearing male clothes and changing his facial features using makeup.

The people around were squealing in excitement right after the show ended.

’Woahh! Madam, this new courtesan is surely handsome!

Worthy of becoming the flower courtesan of this brothel!

He is just like a magnolia flower, making one unable to resist themselves!

“Sir, we are done talking with the madam. You can go in that room now.” Feng Haoran whispered in Yun Shu’s ears which made her come to her senses.

“Hmm.” Yun Shu gave a shallow answer as she looked absent minded.

At this moment, a voice of a middle aged woman came in her ears which made her fume again.

“With this appearance, doesn’t he look even more handsome than the Yun Lords of the Capital!”

’These people!’ Yun Shu became irritated because of the noisy atmosphere.

However, she didn’t have a long time to continue being angry as another voice came up.

“About today’s courtesan, we caught him by the border. at the time, he was heavily injured.” The madam said in a coy voice to attract the people’s attention and succeeded too.

’Great! Just great! He even got injured!’

Yun Shu’s veins popped up on her forehead as she grit her teeth, her nails got dug deep in her flesh as she looked at Bai Yunxian, who was not paying attention to people and looking down on the ground in silence.

“Judging by his appearance, he must be the son of some wealthy aristocratic family that has fallen. Someone who has encountered unfortunate circumstances, this is certainly not an ordinary good!”

“What’s more, we have trained him to act as the customers like, he is very docile and a good listener. He won’t fail to obey and carry on the master’s order! A certain special good, I dare say!” While the Madam was flaunting her sell, Yun Shu was on the verge of exploding.

’Docile? Obedient? Special good?’

He dares!

Crack!

The tea cup she was holding broke into pieces as Nine gulped down his saliva in fear.

’What’s gotten into master all of a sudden? It’s as if he got pissed for some reason?’

Even if he was curious, he didn’t dare to ask anything further.

While Feng Haoran was completely clueless as to what’s going on.

“Sir? What happened? Won’t you go upstairs?” Feng Haoran asked innocently as he looked at Yun Shu.

“Hmm, of course I’ll go.” Yun Shu pressed her mouth as she restrained the terrific smile from almost breaking out as she answered.

“Therefore ~ the prince wouldn’t be low! Starting price is 500 taels! The highest bid can take him away!” The woman encouraged the people as she flung her sleeves and smiled behind her fan.

550 taels!

600 taels!

650 taels!

In an instant, the bidding started to go up like water.

“I’ll bid 800 taels!” The middle aged woman beside her also bid on Bai Yunxian while blushing obnoxiously.

Snap!

And that’s when Yun Shu’s wear of patience broke.

“Shut up! I bid 2000 taels!”

!

The whole atmosphere went dead silent when Nine felt like he would go crazy and faint.

’Master! What the hell are you thinking?! Don’t let your crazy thoughts get you just because of some random beautiful guy! You have a wife at home for all you care!’

Feng Haoran also didn’t understand what was going on, he could only glance in between Yun Shu and the pretty guy on the stage.

“2000 taels is too much. It could feed several generations for the common people!”

“Which family is that Young Master from? He could be so generous?!”

People were amazed at the amount of money Yun Shu offered, but she didn’t care at all as she looked resoute on taking the guy away.

“The Young Master over there bid 2000 taels! Is there anyone who can bid higher?” The Madam’s eyes were sparkling as she asked the crowd excitedly.

When the time was almost up and the Madam was about to announce the ownership, a voice came from behind everyone, right from the front door of the brothel.

“This Young Master bids 2100 taels!”

The decent looking guy who walked in towards the stage was Su Yan, Eldest Young Master of the Governor’s house in the state.

However, what’s that got to do with Yun Shu?

Right now, she was too pissed over Bai Yunxian to take notice of another guy.

Instead, the increase of another competitor made her feel even more irritated as she turned around and looked at the guy.

“Hello, this Young Master. I think you are new to our state right? I haven’t seen you around before. How about you give up this young man, and I shall help you to settle in the county?”

Su Yan saw Yun Shu who was standing upright, he could tell she was some noble from higher territory just by judging from his looks and clothes he wore. The aura he gave off was also beyond extraordinary.

’Seems like he is some big fish! It wouldn’t be bad to take him off of Feng Haoran’s hands!’ Su Yan smirked at the thought as he closed the fan in his hand with a ’clack’ sound.

“Heh!”

Yun Shu gave a shallow smirk as she looked at Su Yan, then turned around towards the stage again, which made Su Yan startled.

’W-what was that?’

Su Yan blushed in anger as he looked at Yun Shu and grabbed the fan tightly, this guy was obviously humiliating him acting like this!

How dare he!

“The Eldest master is truly generous! In that case, the courtesan will belong to—” Before the Madam could finish her sentence, another bid came out of Yun Shu’s mouth.

“3000 taels! Whoever dares to take him away today will be faced with big trouble!”

Sometimes, showing off power and force can also be useful.

“Here’s 3000 taels! If you need, I’ll give an additional 2000 taels, but before that, secure a room for us. And make sure no one can get in before I ask them to!” Yun Shu tossed the bank notes to the Madam as she walked up in the stage before she stood in front of Bai Yunxian and grabbed his wrist by force, then started to drag him up to the stairs without looking back.

’What the h*ell?!’

“Master, what are you doing?! Where are you taking him away? Master, wait for me! I’m coming!” Nine felt as if his soul went flying as he was crumbling in ashes, but tried to follow the two individuals quickly, while Feng Haoran gaped at the scene before him in disbelief.
