Chapter 9: The Pavilion Master Invites



As soon as Master Yunze finished speaking, the bell rang again.

"An additional three thousand taels for Room No. 1!"

There is no need to go back and forth. The purpose of adding three thousand taels at one time is to tell the other party that you are determined to get the Dragon Blood Grass, so if you know what's good for you, don't add any more.

However, the people in Room 8 seemed to be competing with them, and they raised the price to a new high.

"An additional five thousand taels for Room No. 8!"

"Did you do that on purpose? Adding so much at once."

Lin Jiuxi frowned slightly. Could it be that the other party saw that they came for the Dragon Blood Grass and deliberately raised the price to disgust them? Nangong Jing's face was not good either. He vaguely sensed that the people in Room 8 on the opposite side had bad intentions, but they had to get the Dragon Blood Grass, and they had to continue to raise the price no matter how high it was.

"An additional 1,000 taels will be added to Room No. 1!"

Suddenly, a woman spoke behind the pearl curtain, but only her voice was heard but not seen. Then the maid named Luo Yun made some movement.

The so-called Water Curtain Pavilion is a stone pavilion behind the waterfall, which reminded Lin Jiuxi of the Water Curtain Cave in Journey to the West.

When they arrived at the main hall, the servant who had led the way had been waiting for a long time and respectfully presented a brocade box the size of a fan.

Without asking Nangong Jing at all, the woman behind the pearl curtain focused all her attention on Lin Jiuxi.

Nangong Jing and Lin Jiuxi looked at each other, with the same vigilance and confusion in their eyes.

Shouldn't it be delivered? Why do buyers have to go to the main hall to pick it up? Wouldn't that mean everyone knows where the dragon blood grass is?

Although she didn't show it, Lin Jiuxi was shocked. Not only did Master Yunze see that she was a girl, but even the maid revealed her identity in one sentence.

"Please move, Your Majesty. The dragon blood grass has been prepared in the main hall."

The woman behind the pearl curtain nodded to Luo Yun, and the maid respectfully presented a ring-shaped jade pendant to Lin Jiuxi with both hands.

"Luo Yun, show the guest out." A figure could be vaguely seen behind the pearl curtain getting up and leaving.

Although they were surprised, they were on someone else's territory, and even Prince Nangong Jing had to obey the orders, so the two of them just followed the maid.

"You know my mother?"

They thought there would be a lot of people, but when they arrived, the main hall was empty and there was no dragon blood grass.

Lin Jiuxi deliberately raised the price at the last minute, playing a psychological tactic.

Nangong Jing saw her embarrassed look and shook his head and chuckled.

"jingle!"

"Is this person Lin Jiuxi, the daughter of General Lin, Princess Duan?"

In front of the waterfall, the water is pouring down and the mist is rising.

"That's right, this is His Royal Highness Prince Duan."

Lin Jiuxi felt sorry for Nangong Jing, but the person who paid the money looked indifferent. It seemed that the nineteen thousand taels were nothing to him.

"No hurry, just delay it."

If the other party was just trying to drive up the price, then spending 18,000 taels to buy a herb that was useless to him would be a waste of money. One can imagine how nervous he was when no one continued to raise the price.

Nangong Jing was calm and composed, brushing her sleeves as she poured tea for Lin Jiuxi: "Thanks to the princess."

The sudden word "Princess" made even Lin Jiuxi, a modern man, blush. He immediately stopped talking and drank his tea in silence.

Hey, what a good thing!

"The dragon blood grass has already been prepared. You two should come with me to get it."

Nangong Jing pulled Lin Jiuxi's sleeve, motioning him to leave. After all, this was not a place where they could act wild, and Lin Jiuxi couldn't act crazy or stupid, so he had to give up.

Lin Jiuxi wanted to chase after her, but Luo Yun took a step forward and blocked her way.

"This is?"

Lin Jiuxi was afraid that the Pavilion Master didn't know Nangong Jing, so he specifically introduced her, but the woman still ignored him.

The atmosphere was tense when the waiter at the door knocked.

"The Prince of Loyalty caused trouble today because Linglong Pavilion failed to take good care of him, which made the Prince unhappy. This is a gift from the Pavilion Master, so please accept it."

"Keep it. This is what your mother gave me. Now I give it to you. It can be regarded as returning it to its original owner."

Nangong Jing was not angry even though he was completely ignored. What he wanted to know now was why his princess was so valued by the Pavilion Master.

"Wait a minute..."

"Luo Yun looks at the tea."

"...Room No. 1, 19,000 23 times! Deal!"

"Can you tell me your mother's name?"

"continue."

Obviously, they knew each other. Lin Jiuxi wanted to ask more questions, but the person behind the beaded curtain did not respond.

"The Pavilion Master invites the prince and princess to come to the Water Curtain Pavilion and sit down with them."

Sure enough, the final word was given.

This Linglong Pavilion is truly terrifying, without any secrets at all.

Mr. Yunze's final offer: "Room No. 8 is 18,230--"

The people in Linglong Pavilion kept the audience in suspense like they were walking a dog. They walked along the corridor all the way, gazing at the waterfall in the distance, and getting closer and closer after turning several turns.

But they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Linglong Pavilion's gourd, so they didn't ask much and followed the servant to the main hall.

Is the owner of Linglong Pavilion a monkey? When they arrived in front of the pavilion, the maid stopped in her tracks. She must be a servant waiting at the door to receive orders.

After Nangong Jing and Lin Jiuxi entered, they did not see anyone who looked like the owner inside, only a maid, who did not even greet or speak to anyone who came.

The servant who led the way was nowhere to be seen. Just as the two were wondering, a girl dressed as a maid came over to talk to them.

If dragon blood grass was not the main medicine for treating Nangong Jing, Lin Jiuxi really did not want to raise the price any further, and would let the troublemaker spend 18,000 taels to buy a root of grass. Although it was dragon blood grass, there was no need to buy it as it would just be a decoration.

The price was raised several times by the other party, far beyond Nangong Jing's budget.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Lin Jiuxi said with a joking smile.

Lin Jiuxi was delighted when he heard this and took it for Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing smiled and said, "Thank you."

Without mentioning anything else, Nangong Jing is as clear as his name suggests. When has Linglong Pavilion been so considerate? Today, not only did Young Master Yunze meddle in other people's affairs, but now the head of Linglong Pavilion is actually apologizing on behalf of others. This is simply impossible.

Therefore, this gift was not given to Nangong Jing, but was given to Lin Jiuxi in his name.

It's just that this nearly 20,000 taels of silver was given away so easily. Nangong Jing was more curious about the identity of his own princess, or rather, the identity of Bai Xiaodie. Where did she come from?
