Chapter 28: Tao Ran's Residence

  Following Chu Hao into his room, Lin Yue'er's pretty face remained gloomy.

  Here has a very deep memory for Lin Yue'er, so she doesn't want to stay a moment longer. But her personality is not the kind of person who is indecisive and hesitant, extremely stubborn, so she has been holding on.

  "It can be said now." Lin Yue'er didn't look at the bed behind Chu Hao's screen, the bed where unforgettable memories had taken place, she hated the young master deeply, hated this place deeply.

  Chu Hao saw Lin Yue'er's expression and suddenly woke up, realizing that it wasn't a good idea to discuss this here with Lin Yue'er. Chu Hao said: "You wait for me here, I'll be right out."

  Seeing Chu Hao walking towards the screen while taking off his top, Lin Yue'er's pupils shrank and her heartbeat quickened. "You... what do you want to do?"

  "Of course it's a change of clothes, what else did you think? I've said before that I don't advocate for love without feelings, so you can rest assured."

  Lin Yue'er's small face turned somewhat pale: "You... don't say any more."

  "Don't peek! I'm a clean person." Chu Hao chuckled and his figure disappeared behind the screen.

  "Shameless!" Lin Yue'er spat, then leaned against the door frame, remaining vigilant and refusing to enter. Her fingertips were also pressed against the door sill, exerting a slight force.

  After about seven or eight minutes, a figure shrouded in black robes emerged from behind the screen.

  Lin Yue'er was startled and initially thought it was the crown prince, but then she discovered that the other person's height was different from the crown prince's, being slightly shorter, and their build had also become much thinner.

  Lin Yue'er quickly glanced around, looking at the strange black-robed man, and felt that something was off. She shouted: "Who are you!" and took a step back, adopting a defensive stance.

  But the man in black didn't say a word, instead making a strange and unpleasant "hee hee" sound. He took step by step towards Lin Yue'er, and with each step he took, Lin Yue'er retreated one step back, until her powder-puff back was pressed against the door.

  "Don't be afraid, it's me."

  Just as Lin Yue'er was about to go all out and kick the black-robed man's lower body, Chu Hao's voice rang out.

  Lin Yue'er lifted her foot again and didn't want to put it down. She looked around, then turned to the black-robed man, "Where's that bastard?"

  "There are only two eggs here, no mixed eggs." The man in black pressed Lin Yue'er's legs down against his own, saying: "Friendly reminder, you're about to expose yourself."

  This tone, apart from that despicable bastard, the entire palace can't find a second person to come, Lin Yue'er hastily tightened her legs, greatly shocked in her heart, opened her mouth wide, pointed at the black-robed man with an incredulous face, and trembled: "You... how is this possible? How... did it become like this?"

  "I told you I was going to change clothes." The man in black, also known as Chu Hao, said: "However, I have to admire your willpower. You were actually able to resist the urge not to sneak a peek. I underestimated you."

  "Who told you that!" Lin Yue'er didn't know why, but seeing Chu Hao's teasing expression made her feel at ease. To be honest, when she saw him in his black robe earlier, there was an inexplicable sense of eeriness, and she had indeed felt a bit tense and afraid.

  At this moment, Lin Yue'er was certain that it was Chu Hao, and then she looked suspicious, opening her mouth to say: "How did you become shorter?"

  "Heh heh, I'm not telling you." Chu Hao said: "Don't stand so far away, come over here. I'll tell you something that's going to happen later and what you need to pay attention to."

  "What does it mean?"

  "I'm now under your command." Chu Hao didn't care about Lin Yue's vigilance, and pulled her over with one hand. He then leaned in close to her ear and whispered a few sentences. At first, Lin Yue wanted to struggle free, but the more she listened, the stranger his expression became. Then, Chu Hao let go of her and said, "How's that? Do you understand now?"

  Seeing Lin Yue'er still looking dazed, Chu Hao said: "It's okay if you don't understand, just follow along later." As he spoke, Chu Hao adjusted his black robes and the hat completely covered his face. With the change in his figure, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to recognize him as the evil young master.

  This was bought with the last five taels of silver from his monthly allowance; if it didn't work out, he would be bankrupt.

  Walking up to the table, Chu Hao held the two sword boxes in his arms, turned around, and bowed respectfully to Lin Yue'er, saying: "Miss, let's go."

  Lin Yue'er only came to her senses at this time, and she suddenly felt that Chu Hao's breath had completely changed. Not only that, but his voice had also become gloomy and melancholic, mixed with a kind of chilling solemnity that made one's hair stand on end.

  She was taken aback for a moment, "Oh, let's go."

  In the Yun Tian Empire's Kyoto, Shen Long City, there were no less than a dozen auction houses, but among them, the most famous and prosperous one was an auction house called Tao Ran Ju. Basically, all the princes, nobles, high-ranking officials, and even foreign envoys who came to buy things would choose this place as their first option.

  It can be said that Tao Ran Ju is a golden signboard.

  Unlike "Huang Da Fu", Tao Ran Ju and the imperial court of the entire Yun Tian Empire have no connection at all, because its background is far from being just a force within the Yun Tian Empire. In the entire Cang Qiong continent, every country has a branch of Tao Ran Ju, it can be said that it is unparalleled throughout the continent.

  Of course, Tao Ranju's wealth and prosperity have reached an unprecedented height in the industry, and it is not that no one has any thoughts about it. On the contrary, many people are eyeing this big cake.

  For so many years, Tao Ran Ju has stood the test of time, and even in various countries, no one has caused trouble. Every time Tao Ran Ju holds an auction or transaction, every person who enters seems to be a true gentleman or noble, and even the most arrogant people dare not show off inside, and the most proud people must also be low-key.

  Here is the translation:

  Let's take a very simple example. Between the Cloud Heaven Empire and the Maya Empire, more than 200 years ago, there was originally a small country called Ao Dong Country. The territory of Ao Dong Country was not large, only about one-twelfth of the Cloud Heaven Empire, belonging to the weakest countries. However, this country, unwilling to accept its own status on the mainland, turned its attention to the Tao Ran Ju in the imperial capital.

  The entire continent knows that Tao Ran Ju, as the first auction house on the continent, has countless treasures. Even if one is rich enough to rival a country, it's still not enough. Therefore, Ao Dong Guo Jun, under the influence of greed, made a move that would make him regret for countless lifetimes.

  He besieged Taoranju, but at the cost of the entire Ao Dong country!

  In less than an hour after his action, countless powerful beings descended from the sky. Within a short day, the entire city of Ao Dong was reduced to ruins, with countless people dying miserably and blood flowing like rivers.

  At that moment, all the nations were shocked, and they finally saw Tao Ranju's means and the terrifying strength that made the entire continent tremble!

  Since the destruction of Ao Dong Guo, the entire continent finally woke up. All the monarchs set Tao Ran Ju as an untouchable forbidden place. Even if the crown prince came to Tao Ran Ju, he could not hold himself back from causing trouble and had to maintain royal etiquette!

  This undoubtedly represents that all countries have compromised with Tauran and are afraid of its strength.

  The Cloud Empire is no exception!

  Also because of this matter, a sentence was spread from mainland China:

  Even if you are a dragon when you arrive at Taoran Pavilion, I will still turn you into an insect!

  This sentence is deeply believed by countless people!

  It was precisely because Tao Ran had destroyed the Ao Dong country with one hand that the entire northern region lost its natural barrier, and the Maya Empire, which had been recuperating for many years, began to conquer the Cloud Sky Empire.

  At this moment, in the Taoran Residence of Longxing City, two people arrived. A girl with an extraordinary appearance and an old man shrouded in a black robe, short and hunched back.
