Chapter 200 Second Prince
When cultivators used their divine sense to scan the poem, suddenly, they felt like plum blossoms and petals were flying around them as they entered into a strange scene.
They can vividly see a scholar drinking wine, mourning at the passing beauty of a courtesan before him.
" Truly… It's the Intent of Calligraphy."
" To think that young man can encompass his intent in calligraphy. Even in the Western Taoist Temple, such people are rare."
" But 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones for that. Doesn't that sound a bit pricy, no?"
" Who knows? There might be someone who is willing to purchase it."
The girl was shocked when she saw the cultivators who were disdaining earlier now flocking around her like a bird.
" Little girl, Who is that young master?"
" Girl, I will pay 20,000 Mid grade spirit stones. Will you sell it to me?"
" I…I…"
The girl stammered as she felt nervous under the gazes of so many cultivators. However, she mustered her courage as she looked at them.
" As my Young Master said, the minimum price of this calligraphy piece is 100,000 mid grade spirit stones." The girl spoke in a suppressed voice.
" So, Please… If lords wish to bid for this piece, please start bidding from 100,000 mid grade spirit stones."
" This…"
" Haah, 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones…"
" Young lady, take this 150,000 mid grade spirit stones and give this painting to me." An eunuch walked out as he bowed before the girl lightly, placing a pouch before her.
" Also, Please tell your young master that someone wishes to see him in the White Flower Courtyard."
" What?"
" Is that guy really buying that?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" Look at the eunuch's robe. His robe has the noble qilin pattern. He must be a high ranking official or someone from the Imperial Family."
The crowd discussed among themselves. Meanwhile, the girl took the pouch and gave the scroll to the eunuch. However, holding the pouch, she felt her hands were trembling. After all, she never held so much money at once.
Long Ming was enjoying the wine while looking at the scene. The girl soon came back and presented the pouch to Long Ming. " Young Master, I sold that poem for 150,000 mid grade spirit stones. Also, the eunuch asked me to pass a message to you. Someone wishing to meet you in White Flower Courtyard."
" Is that so?" Long Ming raised his brows when he heard that. Finishing his cup, turned around and looked at the girl. " I don't know where this White Flower Courtyard is. Can you guide me there?"
" En."
The girl nodded subconsciously when she heard Long Ming's question. Now, seeing Long Ming's refined and gentle smile, the girl felt her heart thumping faster.
" Please, Follow me, Young master."
[ Ding! Quest completed! Host received a random treasure chest!]
Long Ming smiled as he followed the girl. Soon, they reached another part of the building. Long Ming was surprised when he saw an open courtyard created on the 10th floor of the building.
Indeed, using spatial manipulation, even the most absurd architectural design can be achieved here.
Long Ming looked at the open garden, with no boundary wall before him. From there, he could see the view of the Holy Qilin City.
" This is the White Flower Courtyard. Only a true VVIP can use this place." The girl spoke in a low voice. Then, she tried to give the pouch of spirit stones to Long Ming.
" Young Master, your money…"
" Keep it. It's yours." Long Ming chuckled as he waved his hands. " Although it's not enough to make you and your sister get out of here, it can at least ease your life."
" This… This is…too much." The girl trembled when she heard Long Ming.
100,000 Mid grade spirit stones were her family's six-month's earnings. However, Long Ming simply gave her that much without saying anything.
If he wasn't in need of money, why would he sell his calligraphy like that?
' Could it be…He wanted to sell that to give money to me?' The girl was shocked in her heart when she thought about that. Looking at Long Ming. her cheeks blushed as a strange feeling filled her heart.
" Young Master… I… I am really grateful for this. I…If you wish, you can come to my room tonight."
Saying that the girl turned around and ran out hurriedly. ' Why?! Why the hell I said that?'
But it was probably the best outcome for her. After all, giving her first time to some rough bastard, why won't she give it to someone like Long Ming?
Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. However, as he walked inside, a voice startled her.
" Heh, It looks like Brother Long is as popular among women as ever."
Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes swirled as he gazed at a young man sitting beside a stone table, drinking tea gently under the moonlight.
Beside her, a familiar figure was standing. She was none other than Jiang Wanxue.
" My, I guess the intelligence network of Imperial Family is too strong." Long Ming smiled wryly." The news of my arrival spread this fast, huh?"
After that, he cupped his fist as he bowed lightly. " Long Ming greets Second Prince."
" Hmm? Why do you think I am the Second Prince?" The young man's skin was a bit pale. However, his smile was pretty amicable.
" Well, Azure Qilin guarding the shadows, the condensation of national fortune, and the aura of Prince Star shining on you." Long Ming chuckled. " You don't have the bearing of Crown Prince and I already met Prince Qin Chen and Qin Zhong. So, You can be only the second prince."
" My, Brother Long's eyes are very sharp. Wanxue, You sure didn't tell him about me?" The young man coughed lightly as she looked at Jiang Wanxue.
" I… I don't think he ever saw you. After all, You don't go out of the palace too much," Jiang Wanxue spoke.
" Come, Sit, Brother Long. You don't need to keep standing like that."
" Very well."
" Let me introduce myself. I am Qin Yong, The Second Prince of the Holy Qilin Empire. And, she is my sister, Jiang Wanxue."
" Jiang Wanxue? Not Qin Wanxue?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows as he asked.
" Well, It's kinda complicated. But believe me, she is a real princess." Qin Yong laughed lightly.
" It's not like I don't know." Long Ming smacked his lips as he glanced at Jiang Wanxue. " After all, In the Azure Sun Secret Realm, I got to know Young Lady Jiang thoroughly."
Although Jiang Wanxue remained stoic as ever, but Long Ming laughed as he felt a death glare from her, along with her slightly rosy cheeks.
" Haha, I have to thank you for protecting my sister, Brother Long. If it wasn't for you, she might have lost her life there." Qin Yong smiled as he poured some tea for himself.
" It was nothing, His Highness Second Prince." Long Ming shook his head. " I guess it was a mutual benefit for both of us. So, I saved her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" Haha, And I thought you were going to speak about some righteous cause. I guess Brother Long is a pretty realistic person." Qin Yong chuckled.
" But, I am pretty intrigued to hear about something. The death of Qin Chen…"
" It was an unfortunate event indeed." Long Ming sighed with a sad tone. " After all, Who would have thought such a strange monster was lurking down there, baiting everyone in and killing them."
" Prince Qin Chen caught into such an accident. He was a very good person."
" Pff…"
Jiang Wanxue clenched her fist as she did her best to stop laughing. She couldn't believe how shameless Long Ming could be. He is spewing bullshit without a single mistake.
Even Qin Yong's face turned strange as he almost choked on his tea.
" Brother Long is very sympathetic." Qin Ying nodded. " It's indeed saddening that Brother Qin Chen left us. However, For now, we can only move forward."
" The Battle Tournament is near. Brother Long, do you think you can enter the top 100?" Qin Yong asked.
" Top 100? I guess His Highness is still doubtful regarding my strength." Long?Ming chuckled.
" Well, Brother Long, You must be careful. Not only the great sects and families of the Holy Qilin Empire, but talents from the entire Eastern Province coming here."
" This Holy Qilin City is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Brother Long better be careful." Qin Yong glanced at him.
" I shall keep that in my heart." Long Ming nodded. ." But I have to admit. Having three Harmonization Realm death guards hiding in shadows, the security of His Highness is pretty tight."
" Haha, I don't think so." Qin Yong's turned a bit stiff as he smiled.
" They are doing their jobs pretty well." Long Ming laughed. " It's just that my senses are a bit sharp."
" And, I hope I can talk with Miss Jiang privately after this." Long Ming added another sentence.
" But I don't want to meet you privately." Jiang Wanxue refused flatly. " If you wish to say about it, say right now."
" Haha, No need to get so hasty, Wanxue." Qin Yong got up and patted Jiang Wanxue's shoulders laughingly. " You guys should spend more time."
"Yo-You…"
" Huhu, I am feeling pretty cold outside." Long Ming got up as he walked near a door. Glancing at Jiang Wanxue with a mischievous smile, he laughed.
" Why don't you join me inside, Princess?"
