Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 116 That one glance left him speechless.

After Ji Chen clearly saw the face of the person in the iron cage, he was just as shocked as the people below. However, he wasn't shocked by the person's appearance, but rather...

Immortal Venerable Hanluo! How could this person be Immortal Venerable Hanluo?!

No! How could Immortal Venerable Hanluo be here?! There were clearly only a few of them who came in!

Ji Chen suddenly remembered what Qingguang Ding had told him before: all five of them had entered this world through divine sense.

Ji Chen's mind flashed to Jing Ran's face. Although their appearances were different, the aura that Jing Ran exuded somehow blended together with the person in the iron cage.

Jing Ran is none other than the Immortal Venerable Han Luo!

Ji Chen stared in shock. The Azure Light Cauldron had told him that the identities and experiences of other people might be arbitrarily arranged by that artifact, and that things could turn out very badly.

But he never expected that there was actually someone with an even more tragic background than him! That person was none other than Immortal Venerable Hanluo!

Oh no! Immortal Venerable Hanluo has no cultivation or memories here, and he's still in this predicament. How can we save Immortal Venerable Hanluo?!

"I'll offer nine hundred taels of gold!"

A voice suddenly rang out, bringing everyone back to their senses. The others upstairs recovered and began to place their bids.

"I'll offer a thousand taels of gold!"

"I'll offer 1,200 taels of gold!"

"I'll offer 1,400 taels of gold!"

As the bidding went higher and higher, the madam's smile stretched practically to her ears.

The man in the iron cage listened to the bidding but showed no reaction; he even closed his eyes again.

Ji Chen was anxiously waiting in the back, wondering what to do!

"I bid three thousand taels of gold." A voice came from the third floor, doubling the auction price.

But Ji Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was Lu Yunqi's voice! He could save Immortal Venerable Hanluo!

At this moment, the Azure Light Cauldron spoke up inappropriately, "Um, Master, is it possible that Lu Yunqi has no memory of this, and doesn't even know this Immortal Venerable Hanluo...?"

Ji Chen's body stiffened instantly. What if Lu Yunqi bought Hanluo Immortal Venerable, and then...?

Ji Chen swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he asked, "Xiao Qing, do you think they'll remember everything that happened here after they leave?"

"Master, yes." The Azure Cauldron said the last thing Ji Chen wanted to hear.

Ji Chen was instantly devastated. What kind of mess was this?! It was unacceptable for Immortal Venerable Hanluo to be auctioned off to anyone! It was even more unacceptable for him to be auctioned off to Lu Yunqi!

This is simply unsolvable!

The Azure Light Cauldron sighed softly, comforting the nearly shattered Ji Chen, "Master, believe Lu Yunqi, he doesn't like men."

Yes! Lu Yunqi doesn't like men! But why did he film it if he didn't like them?! Wasn't he still tempted by Han Luo Immortal Venerable's good looks?!

Ji Chen was not comforted at all. He could only pray that Lu Yunqi would not do anything foolish, otherwise no one could protect Lu Yunqi after they got out!

The moment the three thousand taels of gold were presented, the scene fell silent.

"When did Young Master Lu become a homosexual?" Another voice rang out from the third floor, full of teasing and even a bit sarcastic.

However, the sound was not loud, and only people on the third floor could hear it.

Lu Yunqi put down his teacup and retorted in a flat tone, "None of your business."

"You!" Shi Ye was instantly enraged, but Lu Yunqi was the prime minister's only son, and the prime minister was the top contributor to the destruction of the previous dynasty, so he was not someone Shi Ye could easily offend.

He didn't want to make a fool of himself, but instead gave a wicked smile and whispered something to the servant beside him.

Upon receiving the order, the attendant shouted loudly, "Three thousand and one taels!"

Lu Yunqi's servant sneered, "Young Master Shi only knows how to play these disgusting games."

The servant wouldn't tolerate him. After receiving his master's tacit approval, he shouted loudly, "Three thousand and one taels of gold plus one tael of silver!"

Let's play! Let's see who beats whom!

So the two of them started bidding against each other naively, one tael of silver at a time, and no one else joined in the bidding.

Anyone with even a little bit of inside information knows that it's the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion fighting over people. If they raise the price again, are they courting death?

Seeing both sides raising the price so much, Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Yunqi was still so easygoing, so even if he bought back Hanluo Immortal Venerable, he probably wouldn't force him.

However, the madam was not in a good mood. The auction had turned out like this, and unfortunately, she couldn't afford to offend either of these two people! She could only smile apologetically and watch as the two of them raised the price from one tael of silver to one hundred taels of silver.

In a private room in a corner on the second floor, Tianxun watched the people upstairs raising prices so childishly and was speechless.

He had naturally investigated the identities of the two men. Moreover, besides them, several other officials were also present that evening. In order to gather more information, he reported to the prince and then also participated in the Tianxianglou auction.

But now it seems there's nothing particularly interesting for him to investigate here. Just as Tianxun was about to leave, the window was suddenly opened.

Upon hearing the sound, Tianxun gripped the knife at his waist, but just as he was about to draw it, the newcomer pressed it back down.

"Tianxun, it's me."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Tianxun withdrew his hand and knelt on one knee, "Your Highness."

Prince Yi turned around, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself some tea, and after a few cups, he was finally quenched.

Prince Yi sat down and, listening to the price increase of one tael of silver at a time outside, asked curiously, "What's going on outside?"

Tianxun had become quite accustomed to the prince's change in personality and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, they are auctioning off men."

"Oh? A man?" Prince Yi asked with interest, getting up and walking slowly to the railing, looking at the person in the iron cage on the platform.

That one glance left him speechless.

Tianxun didn't hear the prince's voice again. He tentatively raised his head, only to see the prince's back as he jumped down.

"master!"

Han Luo listened to the people upstairs calling out prices one ounce after another, feeling no excitement whatsoever; in fact, she even felt a little sleepy.

But in an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

What? Who won the argument?

The next instant, he heard different sounds. The madam's screams, and the sound of the iron cage clashing with some weapon.

Han Luo suddenly became interested and slowly opened her eyes, only to see a sword gleaming with cold light thrusting towards her.

Han Luo didn't dodge at all; he had no strength and couldn't dodge at all.

More than that, he was curious about who the person who wanted to kill him was.

Unfortunately, all Han Luo saw was a silver mask and eerie spider lilies blooming on it...
