Volume 1: Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Flames Chapter 27: Selling Stuff

  Qing Song wants to leave, Yu Yan's heart is in a mess, Yu Bai's palm suddenly grabs the girl's wrist, "Mu Qing Ge..."

  A hand stretched out from the side, holding up the palm of Yu Yan's outstretched hand, and a magnetic, elegant voice followed, "Is the Crown Prince really going to forcibly take a civilian girl on the street?"

  The clear song frowned and looked away, under the blue sky and white clouds, a golden-faced man walked over, wearing a black long gown with flame patterns, his whole body exuding an overwhelming aura of majesty.

  Hasn't he left yet? Qing Ge thought to herself.

  He withdrew his hand, and a hint of contemplation floated in his clear eyes as he stared unblinkingly at the pair of eyes behind the golden mask.

  The golden-faced man stood tall and still, half of him unmoving. Under the sunlight, the gemstones reflected a seven-colored glow, shining brightly with a majestic and luxurious aura, yet also carrying a hint of coldness.

  Staring into each other's eyes for half a day, there was an air of tension in the air.

  He raised an eyebrow and slightly puffed out his chest, "You again?" His voice carried a hint of discontent.

  The golden-faced man flashed a hint of unclear atmosphere between his eyebrows and eyes, "Yes, it's me again. I said so earlier, I'll send Miss Mu back."

  Yu Wu Chen listened to the golden-faced man's words, earlier? Was it during the martial arts competition? They whispered to each other and said they would send her home. Looking at the cold-faced girl, he had doubts, "Mu Qing Ge, what he said, is it true?"

  What? Send her back?

  The man with the golden face spoke as if it was a matter of course, his words making her feel like they were old acquaintances, but she had only just seen him today. Did she really need to rely on him to send her back?

  However, this is a good way to get rid of Yu Yan Chen. She can't afford to fight with him anymore. As the eldest grandson of the emperor, she shouldn't be fighting with others over a woman on the street.

  After a moment's thought, suppressing the intense pain in her heart, Qing Ge's mouth curved into a faint smile as she spoke to the golden-faced man: "You promised to send me back earlier on stage, why did you come out now?"

  Her voice was soft and gentle, originally clear and crisp like heavenly music, now even more tender and moving, making the listener feel as if they were basking in the warmth of spring.

  Yu Zhen heard it and was stunned, how did he think she was perfect today, even her voice sounded much better than before, and was more moving than the soft words of that singing girl.

  The man with the golden mask furrowed his eagle-like eyebrows under the mask, no, if it were the usual Mu Qing Ge, how could she be so abnormal? She absolutely cannot walk away with a flick of her skirt, there's no need to be so subtle.

  The azure gaze scrutinized Qing Ge's face, her complexion had been off earlier on stage. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed abnormal, thin as a cicada's wing, pale and frightening. Her left hand, as white as jade, remained hidden in her sleeve, if he wasn't mistaken, she was using pain to overcome pain, just like when she bit her lip on the high platform.

  He took a big step forward, with one hand on Qing Ge's waist, and led her to walk forward in big strides, saying domineeringly: "Since that's the case, let's go."

  The two of them were in a very intimate state, with the man's scorching palms resting on her slender waist. Qing Ge only felt that there was a continuous flow of heat from his hands, through her clothes to her skin, making her whole body feel much more comfortable and relieving her pain to an acceptable level.

  But such intimacy made her feel a kind of unnatural discomfort all over her body, and she instinctively wanted to push the man away.

  "Hey, woman, don't push me away. I bet if he comes up to bother you again, you'll fall down!" The man's low voice was seductive and evil, his masculine breath tickling her ear, bringing an unusual tingling sensation.

  Qing Ge's movements suddenly stopped, yes, if she were to struggle free, Yu Yi Chen would immediately notice something was off, and who knows what other entanglements would follow, she couldn't afford it.

  This golden-faced man has known everything about her since just now. To see through someone's physical condition at a glance, you must be stronger than this person at the very least.

  The man with the golden face is not simple at all, why did he want to lend a hand to help her?

  Yu Zhen's gaze followed closely, this was his ex-fiancée, the woman he had broken up with. Why now did he see her being so intimate with another man? In his heart there was a flavor that he had never experienced before, churning around, seemingly sweet yet sour, like a delicious dish with the wrong seasoning, five flavors mixed together.

  She leaned quietly in the arms of the golden-faced man, her breath was very calm and peaceful, without the sharpness she had just shown, she was like a cloud of smoke, making people unable to help but lift the heavy veil to see her true face.

  For the first time, he was so interested and eager to get to know a woman.

  A woman who has been abandoned by him.

  In an instant, my mind was a blur, staring at the two figures walking away. Those two dark silhouettes were equally profound and mysterious, one tall and majestic, the other delicate and slender. Their long shadows under the golden light seemed to radiate boundless brilliance, so perfectly matched.

  "Hey... had enough?"

  A voice interrupted Yu Yi Chen's thoughts, he withdrew his gaze, and in the blink of an eye, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, leaving only that familiar warmth. Zhao Xi Yi slowly walked out of Han Yun Xuan, his face calm as usual, saying: "Is the martial arts competition over?"

  Zhao Xiyu flipped the two ingots in his hand and said with a pout, "Can't we just end this? The Zhuang family is... you should go comfort them, it's hard to explain to Right Minister..."

  He studied with Yu Zichen from an early age, although he did not serve in the imperial court, and it is unknown what kind of interests were involved.

  Recalling the scene just now, Yu Yi Chen's clear and elegant eyebrows were like smoke and clouds, He Xue Ying was asking for trouble today, too unaware of the situation. Calmly turning around, his eyes showed no emotion, and he said indifferently: "Let her think about it herself, I'll go back to the palace first."

  He also wanted to return to the palace to confirm one thing. The golden-faced man gave him a feeling of being so familiar, who was he after all? Was it the person he thought it was?

  The smoke of ten thousand families rose slowly, and it was already noon. The streets were even more bustling than usual.

  "You can go now." Qing Ge twisted her waist and dodged the palm of the golden-faced man, who was already far enough away from East Main Street. Going forward a bit more would be the Mu residence.

  The man looked at his empty palm, the delicate touch still on it. He shook his head and burst out laughing wildly twice, his voice like a golden bell, with a rich and profound inner energy. "Woman, you're still like this, saved you but don't acknowledge it."

  "Is that so? Have we met before?" Qing Ge furrowed her brow, she really didn't have an impression of this man, but his attitude every time he spoke made her suspect otherwise.

  The golden-faced man stepped forward with one long stride, his expression under the golden mask somewhat irritated. "Woman, you don't even remember me!"

  "I've never seen you, how can I remember you!" Qing Ge replied lightly, her eyes taking on a cold hue. She had a good impression of him, but not to the point where she could tolerate his nonsense.

  The golden-faced man was taken aback, but then seemed to think of something and didn't pursue the matter any further. He walked alongside Qing Ge, keeping pace with her, "What did you go to Han Yun Xuan for today?" He looked at her, not like someone who liked to get involved in trouble either.

  "Selling things." Qing Ge replied concisely, thinking of the purpose of this trip to Han Yun Xuan. She suddenly turned her gaze to look up and down at the golden-faced man, whose high-quality clothing was low-key black with a subtle sheen, extremely valuable. The golden mask on his face was exquisitely crafted, also extremely valuable. Various precious stones sparkled, top-grade goods, even more expensive. This person must be a wealthy individual. Today, people who went to Han Yun Xuan were also there to auction off treasures. Thinking of this, she took out the fiery red jade pendant from her waistband. "Appraise the value of this jade!"
