Chapter 190 (1/2)

The Auction (2)

At first, the plan was to get Ye Lang to make a flashy appearance, then use the opportunity to get closer to Princess Longji. The best way to do this would be to attend the Empress Dowager’s birthday celebration. This would allow them to enter the palace.

However, even Coldblood Group members couldn’t guarantee the success of this. The palace was filled with royal guards and spies, who answered to no one except the emperor himself!

It was the Emperor’s last line of defence. He had to be in control of his own palace’s safety, how could he possibly trust someone else?

And that was why the palace could never be infiltrated by force!

It wasn’t just the Coldblood Group. Princess Longji’s supporters and guards were not allowed into the palace either. Hence, this was when there would be the fewest people around Princess Longji, leaving her the most vulnerable.

Entering the palace was, therefore, the most important task right now. The Coldblood Group had been making arrangements for a while, trying their best to bring Ye Lang near Princess Longji.

According to the plan, Ye Lang was to do something in Dragon City to attract attention. Then, the Coldblood Group would use all the resources they had to allow a few princes to notice the spirit girl. Using her beauty, and her powerful family name, she would follow a prince into the palace.

Of course, the Coldblood Group was not completely dependent on Ye Lang. They had a Plan B just in case, but it would cost them much more!

The Coldblood Group hoped Ye Lang would successfully carry out his part. Based on the spirit girl’s perfect face and figure, they were confident its success rate would be at least 90%.

“Thirteen! That’s odd, I seem to see this number everywhere!” said Ye Lang when he received his number. He was only the thirteenth person to arrive. They were early, there was still some time before the event started.

“That’s because you’re the thirteenth daughter, my cousin!” said Coldblood Seven gently.

“Aren’t you all bored?” asked Ye Lang, ignoring her.

“Nope!” said Coldblood Five, shaking her head. Bored or not, to her, time would still pass the same.

Coldblood Seven had a different response. She nodded, “I’m bored. I don’t understand why you like this place!”

“If you’re bored, you can play outside. I’ll be here for a day, you don’t need to come back for me!” said Ye Lang, laughing while gesturing for her to leave.

“...” Coldblood Seven was speechless. So you brought me here to chase me away?

“Actually, it’s quite fun here. I can meet the lords and ladies, even the royals…” Coldblood Seven suddenly realised this auction was a very suitable place to be because they might meet a prince or a princess here.

Did the little brat come for this very reason?

Probably not!!

After a while, more people started pouring in. Soon, the venue was full. There were people still waiting outside to get in.

“The capital will never be the same as a regular city,” said Ye Lang excitedly as he enjoyed the bustling atmosphere.

Since there were so many people here, the goods for auction must be interesting. There must be one or two good ones in there!

Ye Lang didn’t know just how lucky he was. It was the biggest auction of the month, and auctions of this scale were only held in Dragon City. Every month, they would put up the house’s best goods up for auction at this event.
