The General's Genius Daughter
Chapter 268 - A New Backer

Princess Qianyang stared blankly at the man behind the curtain. Because the beads on the curtain were too close, she could only see a shadow dimly.“Oh my God, isn’t this… Isn’t he the Sect Leader of one of the most mysterious sects in the Yuewu Kingdom? I heard that the flute is one of the five divine objects.”
“Go quickly. I heard that the Sect Leader of Blood Sect loves slaughtering the innocent willfully. Flee!” The crowd hurried into their carriages. When they were about to leave, the curtain opened and a mighty force swept up all the carriages ahead. Accompanied by shrieks, the carriages and the men inside were crushed to powder by that force…
Princess Qianyang looked at all this in shock, as if she could not believe her eyes!
The man could kill five to six innocents, who were almost as powerful as Yun Shimo, with a single attack!
If she could get such a backer, then… she had a chance of revenge!
Princess Qianyang was very realistic. She knew that with her talent, she could not keep up with Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue, no matter how hard she tried, so…
She said, bowing deeply to the carriage, “I’m Qianyang. Thank you, Sect Leader of Blood Sect.”
“Haha, what a clever woman! Get on the carriage!”
The curtain opened automatically. There were three people in the carriage, two women and a man. The ink-haired man in the middle should be the Sect Leader of Blood Sect. He was an odd-looking man with a long nose, which reminded others of the angry owl at first glance.
In his hand was a blood-colored flute. The flute flowed with a strange light.
And the two women beside him were all exceedingly beautiful. Seeing Princess Qianyang, one of them chuckled and said, “Sister, get into the carriage!”
Princess Qianyang gritted her teeth in secret and finally stepped into the luxurious carriage.
She knew that this time, she would most likely sell everything she owned. But to take vengeance on Yun Shimo, she wouldn’t care about all these.
Her official husband had left with Hua Qiyue. Once the news got out, it would be a complete disgrace to her. Perhaps she could live more comfortably with this strange Sect Leader of Blood Sect.
“Haha, sister, what’s your name?” one of the ladies in yellow asked fervidly as soon as Princess Qianyang got into the carriage, seizing her hand.
“I’m Qianyang.” Princess Qianyang added with a light smile, “Sect Leader, my greetings to you!”
Zhu Jian, the Sect Leader of Blood Sect, was one of the most mysterious figures in the Yuewu Kingdom. His Qi Art was at the level of Holy God, and he was rarely seen in public because he had an ugly face and a long nose.
However, Blood Sect and Dark Sect were all cruel and had committed all manners of crimes. But Zhu Jian’s most prominent characteristic was that he was fond of taking women captive. Every beautiful woman who caught his eye could not escape the fate of being defiled!
Of course, the women who had been sullied often ended up stuck by his side because they had taken the tailor-made Infatuation Pill of Blood Sect and thus had forgotten what had happened to them.
As soon as Princess Qianyang came to the Yuewu Kingdom, she lived in seclusion with Yun Shimo in Eight Fingers Mountain, so she didn’t have any time to know about the sects in the Yuewu Kingdom.
“Well, you’re very polite. Sit next to me,” Zhu Jian said with a smile. Princess Qianyang froze for a moment and finally sat down beside Zhu Jian slowly.
“Thanks, Sect Leader.” Princess Qianyang managed to subdue her reluctance. It was true that she was unwilling to submit to the man, but she was determined to give herself to him for the intense hatred in her heart.
“Haha, a beauty comes to me. Good, very good!”
Zhu Jian laughed arrogantly, and his big hands began to move around Princess Qianyang.
Princess Qianyang had a layer of goosebumps all over her body, and her body even shivered involuntarily!
After all, the man was a stranger, and his appearance was strange and ugly, so Princess Qianyang could not accept such a man, either mentally or physically.
However, she forced herself to calm down, but her body still trembled as if she were a frightened little lamb.
“What? Are you afraid?” Zhu Jian frowned. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Princess Qianyang in the face hard. Princess Qianyang felt a burning pain on the left side of her face.
Zhu Jian was smiling cruelly at her, his eyes full of displeasure. Princess Qianyang’s palms were sweaty with fear, and she shook her head and said hurriedly, “I’m sorry… That’s not what I meant. I… I’ve never had much contact with men. That’s why I’m so scared!”
“Yes, Sect Leader. Sister Qianyang is right. Perhaps she is still a virgin? Haha.” The other woman chuckled.
Zhu Jian narrowed his eyes and licked his somewhat thirsty lips. He put his big hand around Princess Qianyang’s waist and then suddenly pulled her into his arms…
A moment later, the woman’s cries of pain rang out in the carriage…
—————————
After resting in Xuanyuan City for two hours, they ate supper and then went out together.
Tianci had been prisoned in the mountain for almost a year, so he was excited to be able to hang out here finally without a care.
He had been here twice before; Yun Shimo had brought him here once, and he had sneaked here once. But he met Hua Mengshi the second time. What was worse, he had a bad attack of abdominal pain, and naturally, his wish to hang out was ruined.
“Mom, there are a lot of sugar-coated haws. Buy some for me please!”
“Mom, there are some dolls made of flour and sugar. I want to have a taste of it. I heard it’s delicious…”
“Dad, the barbecue on that stall smells so good. Let’s try it…”
Tianci searched frantically for food all the way. The hare got a share of the food as well. The crowd had only visited one street, but they were all stuffed up with food.
Because of this, they no longer cared about food but enjoyed interesting objects after that.
Not knowing how long she had been walking, Hua Qiyue suddenly saw a castle not far away. The gold-plated sign had three lively and vigorous characters on it—Longting Auction House!
“This is the largest auction house in Xuanyuan City. Anything that’s funny, or that’s the best in the world, can come in and be auctioned here. If it’s an ordinary treasure, it can be auctioned in other small auction houses only,” Ji Feng explained with a smile.
Though he had not been here long, he had been with Xuanji so long that he knew a great deal about Xuanyuan City.
Hua Qiyue nodded and said, “Brother Ji, are you nearly out of money? Why don’t I take some divine herbs and auction them? Then we can live a secure life.”
Hearing that, Ji Feng smiled sheepishly. He did have banknotes, but he was almost out of money for things like lodging.
Tianci had just eaten so much and coupled with the consumption of several of them, his silver was even less, perhaps a hundred taels.
“Yeah, I haven’t got many banknotes on me. I’m sorry,” Ji Feng said with a smile.
His debonair manner attracted the eyes of many women who passed by.
They were certainly the most conspicuous group, with females being exceedingly beautiful and males being handsome. So they gathered more and more amazing eyes.
“Alright then. I happen to have two Ginsengs with Nine Souls in my chest pocket. I’ll put them up for auction first.” Hua Qiyue smiled. She would like to see what would be auctioned in the auction house in Xuanyuan City.
All of them agreed, so they went into Longting Auction House. They were received by a girl of about twenty, who was in good shape and smiled sweetly at them.
“Hello, do you have an appointment? If you want to attend our auction here, you need to make an appointment.”
Seeing that they were all strangers from their costumes, the girl had a certain contempt for them.
After all, no stranger had ever come to the auction here. In the girl’s heart, strangers were quite poor.
“We’re here to auction Ginsengs with Nine Souls. I wonder if you could auction them for me?” Hua Qiyue took two Ginsengs with Nine Souls, which flowed with sacred purple light all over, out from her chest pocket. They were good things at a glance!
Although the girl had never seen this kind of herb, she was struck by its purple glow.
“Well, it was rude of me not to welcome the distinguished guests who were far away. Go inside, please!” A gentle voice sounded, and the man who spoke was Long Shen, the City Master of the auction house.
Although Long Shen had not seen the Ginseng with Nine Souls, he knew that generally, rare herbs would be shrouded by holy light. The holy light on this Ginseng with Nine Souls was so intense, which showed that it was a rare herb.
Hua Qiyue and the others exchanged a glance. This City Master was a smart buyer. If he rejected this proposal, he would lose a lot of service fees.
Long Shen led the crowd into the VIP lounge, and maidservants served them tea. Tianci glanced around as if he wanted to see through the room.
“May I have the name of this young lady? I am Long Shen, the City Master here.”
“Call me Miss Hua, please. This is a divine herb named Ginseng with Nine Souls, which was extinct in the Tianyuan Continent 10, 000 years ago because of the war between evil beasts and humans,” Hua Qiyue said blandly, with an intoxicating smile.
Yun Shimo coughed to remind her not to cast amorous glances at any man.
Long Shen was about thirty years old. He shot Hua Qiyue a strange look. Yun Shimo was afraid that Hua Qiyue would get on his nerves with some bad romances.
“I see. Although I have not seen the real Ginseng with Nine Souls, judging from the divine light on it, I predicate that it’s a very rare divine herb. Miss Hua, we’ll charge you a 5% commission. But since you’re our guest of honor, how about a 50% discount and a 2.5% commission?” Long Shen asked politely, smiling.
…
Hua Qiyue nodded, thinking that Long Shen was really sophisticated.
Yun Shimo raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Besides medicinal herbs, there must be other treasures in Longting Auction House?”
Long Shen nodded hurriedly and answered respectfully, “Of course. We have all kinds of treasures—crystal cores of tenth-level evil beasts, weapons that are almost as mighty as divine weapons, and rare ornaments. The focus of today’s auction is the Spirit-summoning Mirror used by Peach Fairy. Although it’s not as good as the Spirit-Melting Vase, countless celebrities are in a hurry to get Xuanyuan City because of the fame of Peach Fairy!”
Peach Fairy?
Hua Qiyue froze. The name seemed familiar to her. On second thought, she remembered that Peach Fairy was the woman who had sent the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead to the ancestor of Yun Family.
“Zhu Jian, the Sect Leader of Blood Sect, is here, too. And there are a lot of Sect Leaders of other sects. Even the Third Prince of the Yuewu Kingdom has his seat reserved.” Long Shen’s words made Yun Shimo frown.
