Strongest Lady's

Ch. 16-Auction?

“You are also just as strong as being able to defeat a third-rate Iron Centipede by yourself,” Xiao Lang praised.

Weiruo only smiled slightly and continued his steps to calculate the total scorpion present.

“Fourteen, amazing,” murmured Weiruo.

The two immediately looked for a way out as they had no idea how long they had been under.

When it had gone up to the mainland, the day turned out to have changed and was already near noon. Since the hunting festival ended right at noon, then Weiruo took Xiao Lang back to the camp immediately.

“Wait, snake yesterday .. I left it.”

“We'll take it.”

...***...

The sun was at its peak when Xuan Guoxin announced the winner of the hunting festival.

Luckily Xiao Lang got the first position, surprising Xuan Xiuyuan even more knowing that Xiao Lang was not one group with Weiruo.

Xuan Xiuyuan was so angry knowing the crushing defeat experienced by him, it was not out of his mind that the young man was defeated by a landslide, the difference in points of both of them was quite high.

Xuan Xiuyuan felt unacceptable knowing that Xiao Lang had gotten a high spiritual beast even two of them were at the third level.

While on the other hand Xiao Lang and Weiruo had already left the hunting festival in order to avoid the commotion that would inevitably result from Xuan Xiuyuan later on.

“Goodbye.”

Weiruo waved from a distance, the two would split up after entering the capital, Weiruo had to pass through the deserted streets to avoid the crowd.

Arriving at the palace, Yinyi was so panicked from seeing Weiruo's blood-filled clothes. The girl almost fainted when she saw a bruise on Weiruo's body.

Although Xiao Lang helped him heal the wound, but the bruise was not completely healed so Xiao Lang gave him a topical medicine.

“Do not worry.”

“Nona, I am your servant who has accompanied you since childhood, how could I possibly bear to see you hurt?” Yinyi almost cried, but as much as possible held back her tears from falling.

“In the future, you should get used to all this,” Weiruo said casually, inversely with Yinyi who almost cried hearing his non-speech.

...***...

“Moon Light Flowers .. medicinal ingredients or pills..”.

Weiruo read a book about spiritual plants in the palace library. The library in her residence was not very complete so the girl went to the palace library with the permission of Xuan Guoxin.

Weiruo took out one flower and checked the circular line on his stalk.

“Five black lines? Meaning ... fifty years ... during which time does this flower last?” Weiruo smiled happily, it seemed like he found a treasure.

Before leaving the cave, Xiao Lang told Weiruo if the flowers around the spring were valuable enough that Weiruo took the remaining flowers. Xiao Lang gave an empty space ring to Weiruo storing all the flowers.

“There are many interesting books here.” Weiruo closed the book in his hand and turned to the other book he had prepared.

Weiruo admitted that he was quite happy to read light reading books like now, to be honest he was envious because the contents of his library were only about politics and manners.

“Your Majesty the Emperor has arrived!” eunuch announced Xuan Guoxin's arrival.

At once Weiruo exhaled an annoyed breath, he was less comfortable if there were others when he did what he loved as he was now.

Xuan Guoxin walked into the library with a eunuch, the man's face showing that he was in a good feeling.

“What are you going to do in the midnight library like this?”

“I should have asked that.”

“What are you reading, my daughter?” asked Xuan Guoxin.

Although Xuan Guoxin tried her best to hide her expression, Weiruo knew that the man was in a very good mood.

“Only light reading books, don't disturb me.” Weiruo closed the book she had just read.

“Aish, are you upset? Tell dad what pisses you off.” Xuan Guoxin sat down in front of Weiruo and read one title of the book that her daughter had read.

“Books in this library are more interesting than mine.”

Without explaining even if Xuan Guoxin knew the intent of Weiruo's words, the man immediately promised to replace all the books in Weiruo's library.

“I asked Dad, what is the purpose of Dad coming here?”

“Do you know the Blue Lotus Association?”

Weiruo immediately shook his head at the question posed by his father.

Xuan Guoxin then explained about the Blue Lotus Association that he was referring to.

The Blue Lotus Association was a trade organization managed by the Lao Family, one of the nobles who had big names in the empire. The business has been running for three years and continues to grow.

Each year the association will hold an annual auction held after the hunting festival.

“Then?” cut off Weiruo who suddenly felt sleepy.

“Dad always got VIP seats for auctions in the capital. However, father is too busy with the affairs in the palace, can Ruo’er replace father? The event was held three days more.”

Weiruo snorted in annoyance. Why are you saying it now? It was midnight when his feelings were bad enough to speak.

“Are there many people?”

“Tenakan course, VIP guests will get a special room and can only be entered by the person concerned and a few additional people only.”

Weiruo was silent for a moment to make a decision, it was actually not a bad thing to come to the event either.

“Alright, but if I want a certain item, I have to pay for everything.”

“Good, no problem.”

“I'll come later. Thanks for the visit, I'll be back.” Weiruo stood up from his place. “I borrow all this, I return it tomorrow,” he continued while taking three books to read later in the room.

“Goodnight, Father,” he said before leaving Xuan Guoxin.

The air tonight was quite cold, it was fortunate that Weiruo had brought a robe so as not to get cold.

Arriving at his residence, Weiruo immediately took a comfortable position to read books accompanied by light from light stones around his room.

Just a few pages away Weiruo was suddenly curious about the Blue Lotus Association that his father had told him about earlier.

“If according to Father's explanation, it is the largest trade association in the capital as well as the empire. Can it sell goods there?”

Weiruo took out the Moonlight Flower, in total there were 26 flower stalks that Weiruo managed to take from inside the cave. For now Weiruo did not need it too much.

Each flower stalk had its own age line and Weiruo examined them one by one.

All the flowers in front of Weiruo are currently the youngest one year old and the oldest 50 years old.

“About how much can I get for some of these flower stalks?”

Weiruo snorted angrily before closing the book and storing the flowers, at this time he was too sleepy so chose to go to sleep immediately.
