Even if he was the emperor, he would have to think carefully before making a decision when encountering people and things related to Linglong Pavilion.
The carriage stopped at a small teahouse near the outskirts of Beijing. Looking out from inside, the teahouse was unremarkable, even no different from an ordinary inn. It could not be associated with Linglong Pavilion at all.
"Those who can enter Linglong Pavilion must be either rich or noble. You will just follow behind me and watch. There are many rules here. If something goes wrong, I may not be able to protect you."
Before getting off the car, Nangong Jing deliberately kept Lin Jiuxi and gave him many instructions.
This kind of secretive underworld force does have some strange rules, and Lin Jiuxi knew this clearly. She nodded to show that she understood, and then the group got out of the carriage.
Standing outside and looking into the teahouse, whether it is the few tea drinkers inside or the sparsely populated ordinary people, it gives people the feeling of an ordinary teahouse.
Nangong Jing walked in first. Lin Jiuxi retracted her gaze and quickly followed. She had a petite figure, and the wide attendant's clothes wrapped her whole body. She lowered her eyes and followed Nangong Jing carefully, trying her best to reduce her presence.
An unpleasant voice came into his ears, Lin Jiuxi retracted his gaze and silently retreated behind Nangong Jing.

"May I ask who you are?"
Marquis of Loyalty? Upon hearing this title, Lin Jiuxi silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
Looking in the direction he pointed, there were some buildings halfway up the mountain above this natural landscape.
Even Nangong Jing didn't know about it. Lin Jiuxi became even more curious about Linglong Pavilion. At the same time, he also felt more doubtful about the identity of the original owner's mother.
It turned out to be a natural open-air cave with a waterfall rushing down. Directly opposite Nangong Jing was where the auction table was set up.
The scenery here is also breathtaking.
Nangong Jing's eyes were dull and his face showed confusion.
"Your Highness Prince Duan? What a coincidence, I actually met you in a place like this."
"When is it your turn to interrupt when the Marquis and the Prince are talking? Do you know what kind of place this Linglong Pavilion is? How could a servant like you who doesn't know the limits of heaven and earth come in here?"
"It's already noon, a pot of the best silver flowers."
"Everyone is curious about the real location of Linglong Pavilion, but apart from their own people, I'm afraid no one else knows it."
"There's no road here, how can we get up there?"
Marquis Zhongyi could never have imagined that Nangong Jing didn't say anything, but the servant beside him opened his mouth sharply.
After putting on the cloth, everything in front of my eyes instantly became dark. Although the cloth was thin, it was not light-transmissive. It must be made of a special material.
The sarcastic tone and the winking eyes he made when talking to the person next to him made Lin Jiuxi want to slap him in the face.
Lin Jiuxi was a little curious.
The waiter took out two pieces of dark cloth like a magician, his attitude was casual but unquestionable.
There is a huge black stone there, which cleverly separates the falling waterfall. The auction is set up on it. Such a spectacle is an eye-opener for Lin Jiuxi, a modern man.
Isn't this a disguised way of saying that Nangong Jing shouldn't come out and embarrass himself if he's not in good health? "Linglong Pavilion only recognizes status. My prince is at least a brother of the current emperor. There's nothing wrong with him coming out to take a look. But you, my Lord, are old, so don't bump into anything. If anything here is broken, I'm afraid your entire mansion won't be able to afford the compensation."
"Is this the location of Linglong Pavilion?"
Led by the waiter through two curtains, a well-made crescent arch door came into view.
Deliberately poking at Nangong Jing's pain, that's bullshit loyalty.
Nangong Jing entered the teahouse, and a waiter came up to greet him: "Excuse me, sir. How many guests would you like to drink?"
The visitor was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He was wearing a dark red round robe, which made his face full of fat look very rich. His greasy smile made people feel disgusted.
"Please put on your glasses, both of you."
But he was speechless and his face turned red, which was very embarrassing.
"Prince Duan is in poor health and has been away from the palace for years. The waiter at Linglong Pavilion is really ignorant. If something happens to the prince here, can they bear the responsibility?"
These words seemed like a secret code. The waiter responded and led the two men to the backyard.
Nangong Jing had long been accustomed to such ridicule, and was not annoyed at the moment. He nodded towards the empty space next to him, as if there was someone standing there.
"So it's the Marquis of Loyalty. My eyesight is poor and I didn't recognize him in time. Please forgive me."
Before Nangong Jing could say anything, Lin Jiuxi took the cloth alertly and put it on herself and him. Her current identity was a follower, so she had to do the whole act.
After taking off the cloth, the waiter who led them here had disappeared. Lin Jiuxi looked around and saw Nangong Jing standing not far in front of her.
Nangong Jing shook his head upon hearing this and explained, "We are still outside of Linglong Pavilion. The real Linglong Pavilion is over there."
The middle-aged man opposite him pretended that he couldn't see it, and without hiding the contempt on his face, he said sarcastically: "I'm sorry, I forgot that Prince Duan's eyes are bad. I'm sure that the prince will not blame me, the loyal marquis, right?"
Marquis Zhongyi shouted for people to kick Lin Jiuxi out, and the noise he caused attracted quite a few people.
Lin Jiuxi was not afraid either, and sneered: "My prince needs someone to take care of him all the time. The Marquis drove me out, so are you going to take care of my prince?"
"He's just a blind prince, and he still wants me to serve him? You're dreaming! Someone, take this slave away!"
The more people there were, the more excited Marquis Zhongyi became. In front of so many people, he even dared to call Nangong Jing a blind man.
If he hadn't been standing behind, Lin Jiuxi probably wouldn't have noticed the tightly clenched fists in Nangong Jing's sleeves. It seemed that he had suffered much more humiliation than he thought.
