Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Zi Yue?
"People think they are some poor ghost, but their seating position is even better than this Son of Heaven seat, and they spent so much money to compete for the Oiran. Tian Fu’s heart sank to the bottom, fearing that he had provoked some big shot this time."
"Tian Ge, do you know them? Worthy of Tian Ge, you know these kinds of people, impressive indeed." The young man immediately helped Tian Fu up, full of admiration.
Hearing this, Tian Fu’s eyelids twitched, and he was even more miserable inside. What ’knowing them’? He now just hoped that the other party would forget him, and he had also realized that this guy being able to sit on the second floor and bid such a high price for the Oiran, must absolutely be an important figure.
He who runs a gambling house, how could he compete with others? Once he thought about this, even the fine Tieguanyin tea tasted like plain well water in his mouth.
"Five thousand!"’
Just then, another figure came from the second floor. Lin Feng looked over and saw Wang Niu, who was smugly sticking his head out. The Ji Family isn’t short on money, and neither is his Wang Family.
"Sorry, Miss Peach, I like it too."
As he spoke, he provokingly looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng chuckled, interested. Moving his lips, he said, "Eight thousand!"
Wow!
There was a buzz throughout the venue, eight thousand, someone actually reached the price of eight thousand!
This price, in the history of Drunken Sky House, was not high. There were not a few local tyrants who would throw around large sums of money, but the problem was, those Oirans being competed for were all famous courtesans.
They were all well-known throughout Hu Ben Country. Although Miss Peach was also somewhat famous, she seemed a bit immature compared to those others. Having someone offer eight thousand for her was indeed an exaggerated price. This was simply driving up the prices.
The madam was smiling so hard her mouth couldn’t close. She hurriedly pulled Miss Peach to give thanks to Lin Feng.
"Thanks to the gentleman on the second floor for taking a liking to our Miss Peach. Miss Peach, won’t you give this gentleman a bow?"
Miss Peach immediately curtsied, softly whispering, "Thank you for your kind patronage, Miss Peach is very grateful!"
"What patronage? Eight thousand a lot to you? I bid ten thousand!"
It was then, Wang Niu on the side, glared and bellowed.
Wow
Everyone’s mouths dropped open. Ten thousand Gold Pearls just for half an hour with Miss Peach, merely to chat and pluck the lute.
"This is a Wang Family disciple!"
Someone immediately recognized Wang Niu’s identity.
"So it’s someone from the Wang Family, the family with a Heavenly Martial Master ancestor. No wonder they are so wealthy."
Upon hearing this, the madam was also startled, and immediately smiled, "Oh my, turns out it’s the young master from the Wang Family. Really now, why didn’t you notify me, but young master Wang, you must listen carefully, our Miss Peach sells art, not her body."
Her words meant to confirm once again to avoid any misunderstandings.
"I know, a mere ten thousand. Miss Peach is worth the price." Wang Niu arrogantly glanced at Lin Feng, full of provocation.
All of a sudden, everyone stopped drinking tea and making noise, their gaze alternating between Lin Feng and Wang Niu.
Lin Feng sipped his tea, and said to Ji Wuye behind him, "Did you bring enough money?"
Ji Wuye nodded, "I asked my dad for a hundred thousand." Unmoving City, as a city with a Heavenly Martial Master, was naturally incomparable to a small city like Boyang City. The Ji Family, as a former overlord, had a very profound family foundation.
Hearing this, Lin Feng didn’t waste words, "Twenty thousand!"
Twenty thousand!
The faint voice drifted down from the upstairs, causing everyone to gasp in shock, even the eyes of some ladies turned green with envy.
Tian Fu was so frightened that his hand shook. Damn it, how could he have called someone a poor bastard, how could he have smelled a poor ghost from afar. Compared to that, he, Tian Fu, was a complete poor bastard indeed.
Forget it, he might as well finish this expensive Tieguanyin tea and get out of here as soon as possible.
Wang Niu furrowed his brows. He only brought twenty thousand this time. Twenty thousand Gold Pearls were definitely not a lot; any decent Elixir was not worth that much.
He didn’t expect Lin Feng to be so rich.
Of course, he didn’t know that this was actually the Ji Family’s money.
"All right, I’ll let you have this peach; I want the next Gold Pearl Lady for me!"
Wang Niu scoffed disdainfully, refusing to lose face in the crowd.
Many people sighed internally upon hearing this; this young master of the Wang family really was wealthy, to have reserved the next Gold Pearl Lady in advance.
Just then, a nonchalant voice came through.
"Sorry, I want Gold Pearl Lady too."
As he spoke, Lin Feng nonchalantly shook the bronze bell in front of him, causing everyone’s eyes to widen in shock.
Point to the Sky Lantern!!
To light the Sky Lantern meant that no matter how much money the other party bid, the one who lit the Sky Lantern would offer an even higher price.
Otherwise, the consequences would be dire, not knowing how they’d meet their end. After all, the Drunken Sky House was backed by a Heavenly Martial Master.
"Holy shit, he lit the Sky Lantern?"
"Dude, no matter how rich, is this really the way to spend money?"
"That’s badass, this is what a real man is like, splurging money like water, when can I ever be this imposing!"
Everyone was thoroughly blown away, and Wang Niu glared furiously at Lin Feng, "You...you actually lit the Sky Lantern?"
Lin Feng chuckled, "Not convinced? You can do it too. Just afraid you may not have the money."
Pfft!
Many in the crowd couldn’t help but spit out their tea, wondering who this guy was to talk to a disciple of the Wang family like that, challenge them about not having enough money, oh my goodness, such dominance.
Wang Niu trembled with rage; indeed, he had no money, only twenty thousand on him.
"You’re ruthless!"
With that, he turned around and walked away.
The old madam below was overjoyed and couldn’t close her mouth, promptly instructing the peach lady to take extra good care of this generous man.
Soon, she personally escorted the peach lady to Lin Feng’s elegant seat. When she saw Ji Wuye, she was visibly taken aback.
The young master of the Ji family?
No wonder he’s so wealthy, she thought, now curious as to why this young master of the Ji family had been hiding his face all this time, and what relation this stranger had with the Ji family.
But she couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it; she just pulled the peach lady over and said, "My lord, here’s Peach Lady for you, I won’t disturb you any further."
With that, she went downstairs, all smiles.
"Please, have a seat."
Lin Feng indicated for Peach Lady to sit where she liked. She was a bit nervous, her usual admirers had only spent up to six thousand six hundred and sixty-six Gold Pearls, and here was this man who didn’t seem all that impressive, spending a full twenty thousand. She couldn’t help but wonder, did this lord have some improper thoughts about her? 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"Just play something, by the way, do you know ’Clear Springs on Stone Tops’?"
This was a piece Lin Feng had particularly enjoyed before.
"I know it a bit, I will play it for the young master now."
Peach Lady came back to her senses, her fingers dancing immediately on the strings.
Indeed, the tune was instantly heartfelt even before the melody fully formed.
"Not bad."
Ji Wuye at the side was surprised and nodded in appreciation. Peach Lady’s pipa skills truly were extraordinary.
Lin Feng was noncommittal, and though it couldn’t compare to what he’d heard before, it was still rare in such a small place.
Suddenly, the melody quickened, a passage that should have been Lin Feng’s favorite, like the roar of cavalry charging through the clash of swords, but it caused Lin Feng to frown; there was a hidden sorrow and secret grudge in Peach Lady’s music.
Abruptly, Lin Feng’s gaze fixed, "Zi Yue?"
