That morning, no one who received the invitation dared to neglect it. Before the time came, the door of Wushuang Pavilion was already full of carriages.

Gu Lingze finished his breakfast leisurely, but he didn't expect Jin Zi to suddenly come to him with someone.

"Greetings, Master Imperial Master." Before the young man in front of him could kneel down, Gu Chaoyu held him up.

"My brother doesn't like this, so you don't have to bow anymore."

After hearing what he said, the young man looked at Gu Lingze's expression and then nodded.

Gu Lingze wanted to raise his hand and touch Jinzi's head, but then he remembered that his younger brother had grown up, so he patted his shoulder instead.

"Chao Yu, what do you want to talk to me about?" In front of outsiders, always call them by their full names.

Gu Chaoyu pulled the boy aside and asked, "Brother, can I take Ziqian to the auction with me?"

Gu Lingze nodded and said, "Of course, which classmate do you want to invite? I'll get you an invitation."

Gu Chaoyu shook his head and said, "Only Ziqian."

Gu Lingze frowned quickly, then said calmly, "Okay, then you guys will leave with us."

Gu Chaoyu looked at Mu Ziqian with a smile, and Mu Ziqian bowed to Gu Lingze and said, "Ziqian thanks you, Master Imperial Master."

The three families set out together, taking several carriages. Gu Lingze deliberately let everyone go first, and only got on the last carriage with Zhao Chengmo.

"Cheng Mo, are you and Jin Zi hiding something from me?"

Zhao Chengmo clearly sensed the unhappy aura around him and tried to shake his hand, but Gu Lingze avoided him.

"Jin Zi originally studied in the capital city, and so many of his classmates were good friends with him. He was reluctant to leave when he came to the capital city. Why is it that after arriving in the capital city, not only did he become cold-tempered, but he is also his only companion?"

Zhao Chengmo narrowed his eyes slightly, "I shouldn't have kept it from you."

Seeing him like this, Gu Lingze felt a surge of guilt.

He slammed his fist on the table in front of him, "Why should I blame you? It's obviously my incompetence as a brother."

Zhao Chengmo quickly wrapped his hand around his and rubbed it, caressing the reddened area.

After a long while, he spoke up: "He is already a teenager. He has chosen to face these storms alone, so we shouldn't shield him. As long as he remembers that we, his family, will always be by his side, loving and protecting him."

It was rare to see Zhao Chengmo speak such a long speech. Gu Lingze pursed her lips and leaned into his arms.

Gu Lingze understood his own shortcomings. He was stubborn, had a bad temper, was vindictive and overbearing. But his lover never said anything and just tolerated and spoiled him.

"Cheng Mo, what do you like about me?" Gu Lingze felt that the question was a bit pretentious as soon as he opened his mouth, but he still looked forward to the other party's answer.

Zhao Chengmo was obviously not good at answering this kind of question. He thought for a long time before saying, "I like every look of you."

"Whether you are angry, happy, proud, or sad, I like every feeling. Every feeling is imprinted in my heart, and I recall it over and over again when I cannot see you."

Gu Lingze's eyes felt hot and he tried hard not to sniffle.

"You're usually a taciturn person, but today you're so sweet-mouthed?"

Zhao Chengmo lowered his head and said, "Then try it and see if it's sweet." Then he kissed her.

As soon as the two of them got off the carriage, Lingzi came over to find Gu Lingze. When she saw him, she said, "Brother, why is your face so red?"

Gu Lingze cleared his throat somewhat unnaturally, "It's too hot in the carriage."

Huang Shulang grinned, his face full of cunning, "Your brother is not hot, he is being kissed... um..."

Xu Mingyan calmly covered her husband's mouth from behind to avoid making someone angry.

As the group was about to go in, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Your humble servant greets the Grand Master of the Imperial Court and the Grand Tutor." He then said a series of titles.

Gu Lingze turned slightly towards Xu Mingyan and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mu Wenbin."

Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows. He didn't have a good impression of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Lord Mu, there is no need to be so polite." Xie Xiru said.

This time, all officials above the fifth rank received invitations and were allowed to bring two family members. Many people came early and waited.

"Thank you, Master Taifu. I am sorry for the trouble you have taken."

Xie Xiru was a little confused, "Dog?"

Mu Wenbin raised his hand and waved to the position behind Gu Lingze, "Ziqian, why don't you come over and pay your respects to the Grand Tutor."

Mu Ziqian looked at his father's extremely kind face and clenched his fists with trembling hands.

Just as he was about to take a step, Gu Chaoyu stopped him, bowed to Mu Wenbin, then took Mu Ziqian's wrist and walked straight in.

Xie Xiru smiled and said, "My adopted grandson has similar interests to Lord Mu's son. He is young and can't wait to go in first. Please don't be offended, Lord."

Mu Wenbin was immediately flattered and even said he didn't dare.

After Xie Xiru and the others went in, a hint of coldness flashed across the eyes of the woman following Mu Wenbin.

"You and your half brother studied at the Nanlin Academy together, so why didn't you become good friends with Gu Chaoyu?"

The young man next to her felt a little aggrieved, "Gu Chaoyu is always arrogant and never mentioned his family background. We were just joking but he took it seriously. He is very petty."

The woman pinched his wrist and the boy gritted his teeth in pain.

"Do you know what to do next?"

The boy said with red eyes: "It's saved by the child."

Gu Lingze and the others were unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, he was looking at the young man in front of him who was lowering his head.

"Brother, I was too rash just now. I'm sorry." Mu Ziqian on the side also lowered his head.

Gu Lingze smiled and said, "I thought it was no big deal. Just do whatever you want to do. You don't have to consider other people's opinions. If you make a mistake, I'll take the blame for you."

The reason why he said this was because Jin Zi would never act recklessly. He always had his reasons for doing anything. Gu Lingze completely believed in his brother's character.

A hint of envy flashed across Mu Ziqian's eyes, and then was buried deep in his heart.

Xie Xiru, who was standing by, heard this and pointed at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You, you, you are ruining a good seedling."

"Hey." Gu Lingze grinned and said to Jin Zi, "Did you hear that? My foster grandfather praised you as a good candidate."

Gu Chaoyu smiled a little embarrassedly, bowed to Xie Xiru, and pulled Mu Ziqian to their seats.

There was a constant stream of people in front of the Wushuang Auction House, and those who came in with invitations were led to their seats by special waiters.

Almost everyone who got inside was amazed.

At Gu Lingze's suggestion, the structure of the auction house was changed to a theater style.

The lobby on the first floor is for group seating, the second floor is for private rooms, and the third floor is for boxes, which is quite similar to Heyi Tower.

But the difference is the open structure, which allows everyone to see clearly what is displayed on the stage.
