C423 Lead the way (1/2)

”It's fine. On the other hand, the invitation in your hand is of some interest to me.” Feng Qing's gaze landed on the invitation in his hand. This year, the City Lord's Mansion gave out many invitations to many people. However, outsiders didn't know what was going on in the Peony City.

Placing spies in Peony City was an extremely difficult task.

This was because there were six clans in Peony City that controlled the entire city along with the Mayor's mansion. Other than the fact that they knew some secrets, outsiders could only look at peonies in this place.

Hearing Feng Qing's question, Jun Ru's gaze landed on him and Mu Ru Yue. After sizing them up for a while, he chuckled. ”It seems like you were invited as well.”

”Yes.” Feng Qing didn't interrupt him. It was more accurate to say that Mu Ru Yue was invited and he just wanted to have a look at her. Based on his status, he would be treated as an inspection here.

”It's an auction. Recently, a slave has been found in Peony City. This slave is very interesting. Even though he was covered in poisonous blood, he had survived until now. Many people fought over this slave and decided to make an auction.

Apart from this, there was another reason, which was for the end of the peony this year.

The season for peonies was soon over, and every year when the peonies fell, something good would always happen. This year, when the Imperial Advisor passed Peony City, he predicted that Peony City would be a golden age rarely seen in a thousand years. Therefore, they would naturally invite a lot of people.

I suppose you came because you were invited to watch the curtain fall on the peony. ” The man said faintly.

Mu Ru Yue nodded. That was true, because she didn't know that there were slaves in Peony City. After hearing this, he was speechless. In the eyes of these people, they were nothing more than goods.

It was as if … That day, Pill King Valley's young master looked at her the same way.

Speaking of this, Mu Ru Yue was stunned and became suspicious. How could the Pill King Valley not get involved with such a person?

”After the slave auction every year, I will decide on the distribution of power among the six families. That is what I have to do. These clans are really disgusting. ” Jun Ruo's tone was full of disdain.

It was obvious that he had suppressed it for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing.

”So, you want to participate?” Or should I continue to do my best? ” Feng Qing looked at Jun Ruo and spoke calmly. He did not speak of the six noble families with him, as he had expected. In Feng Qing's eyes, these things were not important in the first place.

Even if he had appeared here, it was only for the sake of the throne.

Even Jun Ruo didn't expect Feng Qing to be so cold and aloof. And then he started to laugh, ”You're still the same as before. ”If so, why did you come?”

Why did he come?

Feng Qing thought for a moment. He looked at the man and said, ”It's just a whim.”

”Brother Feng's words are quite interesting. However, this so called 'whim' will likely cause you to become involved.” You are a noble man, and the last time you came, you were also a noble guest of the Mayor's Palace.

[Since I am a member of the Jun Family, it is just a pipe dream to stay here in the face of such chaos.] In this world, there is no such person who would give me convenience and allow me to truly do whatever I want. If I do a good job in this matter, this teahouse will still belong to me. However, if you do not do it well, I'm afraid that you will not be able to see me the next time you come. ” Jun Ru's voice was very faint.

At this point, he seemed a little depressed.

However, there was no nervousness or worry in his eyes. As he spoke, he continued to brew tea for the two of them. It was as if this tea was the only thing he could rely on. Such a person was quite interesting.

However, why would Feng Qing come here?

Mu Ru Yue's heart was filled with curiosity towards this matter. After all, this person couldn't possibly be here to drink a cup of tea, right? Since it was remembered by Feng Qing, then there must be a reason why it was remembered. Not many people could be remembered by the current Crown Prince.

There were countless people who wanted to get to know him.

At this moment, Mu Ru Yue was filled with curiosity. Very soon, she heard Feng Qing say, ”Is Jun Ruo interested in going to the slave market?”

”Huh?” The teacup in the man's hand froze. He looked at Feng Qing in disbelief: ”I remember that the last time I was here, Young Master Feng was still very much at odds with this slave system. Why is he here today?”

”What I detest is what I have done, what I have done, what I have done. As for the slaves, there was no harm in doing so. It's just that this time, I'm a bit more interested. ”If possible, I would like to know more about this system of slavery.” Feng Qing's voice was faint.
