It turned out that in just six years, he had already begun to be forgotten.

Dingdong. Marquis Feng Linyuan was the youth with the most stunning Yongding City in the past.

This direct son of the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, the palm of Senior Marquis, had once been the target of envy and admiration of all the youngsters in the entire Great Zhou, including himself, who was one of them since he was a child.

He could recite at the age of three, he could sing at the age of five, and his literary style was comparable to that of the Saint Xu Dynasty.

It came from the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis which held military power and settled the nation. His kung fu was exceptional, and his military skills were like that of a god. At the age of ten, he went to the battlefield with his father, and his reputation spread far and wide.

When he was twelve, he led a hundred thousand Changping Army profound practitioners that were unique to the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis s, moving about the borders of the Xiliang s and seized back the two cities, Sheng and Xiang, which had been lost for a long time.

But perhaps it was too stunning and too sharp, and God had finally retracted all his good fortune when he was fifteen. In the battle against the Xiliang, Old Dingyuan's troops had been defeated and a hundred thousand Changping Army had been buried in the Yancheng.

He had also experienced a narrow escape, but still led the rest of the Elite Armaments in a clever plan. His desperate counterattack had turned the tide, finally obtaining ten years of peace in the Yancheng.

However, in the future, there would no longer be any outstanding talents in Yongding City. There would only be one young genius left, whose face would be destroyed, who would suffer from severe illness, and be judged by the doctors as the new Marquis Dingyuan, Feng Linyuan, with a lifespan of no more than twenty five years.

Following Feng Jingyi's narration, a youth seemed to appear in front of Bai Zheng. He galloped his horse with high spirits and was as dazzling as fire.

Bai Zheng once again thought back to the man she had just met. He had a noble and noble dignity that came from within him, as if he was born with it. It was smooth like jade, quiet and elegant like water.

Just how much pain had he gone through to become a completely different person from before?

”Next, is our last item for today.” The voice of the Auctioneer pierced through the muslin and broke the silence of the room.

Bai Zheng cleared her mind. This was her most important mission today.

Feng Jingyi also raised his head, his eyes becoming as calm as before, as though the person before was just Bai Zheng's illusion.

When the Auctioneer's words landed, the entire auction place became quiet. Everyone held their breath as their gazes fell on the square stone platform that was slowly rising up.

This time, the stone platform was not covered with a red velvet cloth like usual, so everyone could clearly see that there were three things on it. One was a scroll, one was a piece of silk, and the other was a pile of white material.

”Before the auction, the Treasure-collecting Tower had already released news that this month's auction will be a treasure that can bring wealth to everyone.” The Auctioneer's voice sounded a little agitated.

”Everyone, since you have all studied and learned to this day, you should know that what you can use to write is usually either a piece of bamboo or a piece of silk. However, the bamboo sheets are too heavy and the silk sheets are too expensive.

After all, in this era, no one knew about paper. Before the auction started, the Auctioneer had given a detailed introduction.

”If there is something that can be written, something that is both cheap and light, then who would need a heavy bamboo block in the future? Who else would use expensive silk? ”

”This is for the benefit of all scholars!” Feng Jingyi praised.

The corner of Bai Zheng's lips curled up as she glanced at him.

The majority of the people who participated in the Treasure-collecting Tower auction were wealthy merchants and noblemen of the Yongding City, and the majority of the people who did their part in the auction had already realized what was going on and sat upright, listening attentively.

Auctioneer's introduction continued.

”After this, everyone will turn away from the bamboo and the silk and turn to this practical thing. All the scholars in the world would come and buy this. ”

Auctioneer purposely paused for a moment, then picked up the book on the stage and gently flipped open a page, showing it to everyone.

”It looks like a small book, but there are quite a few words written on it!” Feng Jingyi excitedly stared at the book on the ground.

As if to prove the lightness of this thing, when Auctioneer saw that everyone had read enough, she grabbed one of the pages and tore it off cleanly.
