Chapter 1082: Deceptive Things

there's anything you have to hide from me, you have to tell me!"Zong Bai smiled and nodded.Thinking back to what my older brother said the other day, I feel like he's overthinking things. Judging fro...Chapter 1082: Fraudulent stuff

When it was time to leave, Fang Jinshu's heart skipped a beat. She felt uneasy; whenever she had this feeling, something bad would happen.

She hurriedly grabbed BaiXuan's hand.

"What's wrong, Jinshu sister"

Bai Xuan was still under the protection of Baby, guarding her face.

Fang Jinshi seeing the situation sighed, took off her own mask revealing her original appearance.

"Sister Jinxiu."

She tossed the mask back onto the table in her room. "It doesn't matter, tomorrow is the last day anyway, and I've already done what I wanted to do."

After two days of investigation, Yuan Xiang's people should not be here.

Since that was the case, she no longer needed to be so reserved.

"And I'll just stay in your suite, and when the auction ends we'll leave. We won't attract any attention."

Bai Xuan stared at Fang Jinshu's face, almost mesmerized. She nodded slightly.

Zong Yu hurried back to attend the morning court as usual. Before leaving, he unprecedentedly told Zhao Xingzhou to stay by Jinxiu's side at all times.

It was the last day, and he didn't want to make things complicated.

Let's go.

Bai Xuan and Fang Jinxiu walked happily towards the high-end area, their arms linked. The two beauties attracted a lot of attention as they strolled down the street. One might even mistake them for sisters at first glance.

Jiang Chuang stood at a distance, his expression somewhat solemn.

What is she doing To show her true face in such a place, isn't she afraid of being recognized and causing trouble

Zhao Xingzhou deliberately stood in front of Fang Jinxiu, trying to block the curious gazes from all around.

After the two entered the room, the men downstairs would still occasionally glance up. Although revealing their true faces brought some trouble, under everyone's watchful eyes, those hiding in the shadows probably had to consider whether what they wanted to do would expose them.

Bai Xuan, however, was unlike her usual self. She shrank to the side and did not excitedly lean by the bedside as she had the past two days to watch the exhibition booth.

"Jinshu elder sister, these people are really annoying, I don't like their eyes."

The men's eyes were filled with lust. Even though Bai Xuan was innocent, she could sense the difference between good and evil through instinct. These people's gazes were not kind and made her feel disgusted.

She instinctively felt disgusted.

Fang Jinshu smiled, "Pretend you don't see it. We're here today to watch the excitement."

Bai Xuan nodded, but the people below her didn't listen to her. Could she possibly dig out their eyes

"Look, the Xi Xia nobles are here!"

The biggest draw of today's auction was this Western Xia nobleman. Everyone's attention was immediately captured by the man in a mask on display.

“This is a Western Xia nobleman”

"It doesn't look like anything special."

"How is there nothing special about him This Xixia man's figure looks quite tall and well-proportioned. I reckon the face under the mask wouldn't be bad either."

The female guests burst into laughter, but all the sound couldn't reach the man standing on stage.

"Distinguished guests, the next male servant is someone of great standing."

He was the prince of Xixia.

The man in charge of introducing the male slaves was also quite good at teasing people's appetites. With a single sentence, "The Prince of Xixia," he surprised everyone and they all stood up and craned their necks to look at the man on stage.

"What This is the prince of Xixia"

"My goodness, the Recruitment of Talent Convention is amazing! They even managed to get their hands on the Prince of Xixia."

When the atmosphere downstairs had heated up, the person in charge suddenly changed the subject and grinned.

"My lords, my lords, please hear me out."

"This is the nephew of the Xia prince. Although he is distantly related to the Xia royal family, he's still kin."

Those below, upon hearing this, reacted with indignation.

"Then aren't you lying! You're calling someone who's distantly related at best a Western Xia noble!"

"It's a scam, get rid of it, who would buy this"

"Buying a pampered, fallen nobleman doesn't mean anything. He can't do anything, his status isn't noble, and he's not even worth mentioning. It's boring, just boring."

"Perhaps it's best to bring up another slave. If the ones following are no good, your estate might as well stop holding auctions altogether."

As the jeers intensified, the official became increasingly embarrassed. They had initially assumed the man was a prince from Xixia. After all, the King of Xixia had many concubines and children.

For every favored one, there is an unfavored one.

It's a pity that the man was only trying to deceive them into saving him. Right before he got on stage, he confessed his true identity. He wasn't actually a prince of Xi Xia; he was just a distant relative of the royal family.

I guess I could be prince's cousin.

Originally thought to be a winning signature, it has now become a joke.

Whether or not the price can be raised doesn't matter anymore, just don't anger all the customers and drive them away.

So he quickened his pace and called out higher and higher prices, regardless of whether anyone wanted to buy. He just wanted to get rid of this annoying nuisance as quickly as possible.

After they can't sell it, they will take him to other places to dispose of him.

"The starting bid is 500 taels, with each subsequent increase being 100 taels."

Now, esteemed guests, you may begin your bidding.

Below, there was only mockery, no sound except that.

This situation was entirely within the purview of expectations, he had already prepared for it not selling.

But Fang Jinshi suddenly held up a sign.

"Six hundred taels."

The people below were greatly astonished. This Xixia swindler didn't even take off his mask, and yet there were people willing to bid for him

The man on stage heard Fang Jinshu's voice and his body, which had been still a moment ago, suddenly moved slightly, as if he raised his head to glance in the direction of the second floor.

Bai Xuan looked puzzled.

"Sister Jinxiu, that man can't do anything. He doesn't even know if he's handsome or ugly. Buying him wouldn't be a profitable deal, would it"

“Forget it. I didn't expect this Xixia noble to be just a gimmick, making me wait for nothing.”

Fang Jinxiu, however, was still holding up the price tag.

"It's nothing, I just keep a recluse around."

This person probably didn't intentionally deceive the mountain lodge. If no one buys him, after the auction ends, he might be in danger.

Bai Xuan said, "That makes sense."

Sister Jinxiu is such a kind person, she's so kind to even strangers.

Fang Jinxiu's smile didn't reach her eyes. Everyone else despised this Xixia con artist, but it gave Fang Jinxiu a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Finally, she bought the Xixia mask man for 600 taels of silver.

This was the lowest-priced slave ever to appear at the grand assembly of talent, and the only one who wasn't shunned for having his mask removed.

Jiang Chuang, sitting in the front row, looked at the masked man on the stage with a thoughtful expression. Xiu Xiu wanted this Western Xia man to do something.

He promised to get her the Western Xia pass documents.

When the manager saw someone willing to buy this male slave, he was overjoyed and immediately had the masked man brought to Fang Jinshu's private room. people. How dare a woman like me treat such a serious matter as a joke”Pan Zhi'an frowned, pacing in place a couple of times, "Come to my study with me. Let's talk."Fang Jinshi hesitated for a moment...
