His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 457: Beware of Him

After returning to the inn, Yu Qing Qian three went back to their rooms to rest.

After Yu Qing Qian finished cultivating, Gu Yan in the small pagoda took a pot of wine and tasted it, “Although this wine’s strong, but it won’t make you drunk so easily!”

The wine he was drinking was the strong wine that Yu Qing Qian and Huo Li Ruo had used to compete in the restaurant before.

“Master, what do you mean?” Yu Qing Qian made herself a cup of tea.

Gu Yan shook his wine cup, “That kid should’ve been pretending to be drunk.”

“Master, how do you know he was pretending to be drunk?” Yu Qing Qian revealed a solemn expression.

Gu Yan chuckled: “Intuition. I don’t know why, but I constantly feel that he’s a little weird. You should be careful when you head to the sea realm.”

“He probably won’t hurt me. But he has indeed changed a lot after nearly a year.” Yu Qing Qian kept thinking about the scene when she met Huo Li Ruo today, and found that he had begun to give one a sense of unfathomableness.

“People will always change. Either way, just pay more attention.” Gu Yan reminded.

Yu Qing Qian nodded: “Mm, got it.”

The next morning, the pupils of the Holy Academy and the Imperial Academy met each other, with fifteen people on each side.

The pupils on both sides had spatial-class Spiritual Plant Masters, so they were directly teleported to the western territory.

Most of the western territory was near the sea, and many cities were built around the ocean. The group appeared in a huge sea city, which was also the largest city in the west.

“That mysterious sea realm is very far away from here. Because there’s no coordinates marked, we can’t teleport there. We need to travel by ourselves now.” Cheng Zhuo said to the pupils of the two Academies.

The leader of the Imperial Academy was a delicate-looking and pretty woman in black. Her voice was a little hoarse, “Let’s rest in this sea city for a few days to obtain some news before setting off.”

“I know that Hai City¹ will hold a grand auction soon. The pupils of our two Academies can go and take a look.” Cheng Zhuo nodded and suggested.

It would take more than one or two days to go to the sea realm to explore and train, so it was better to attend some meaningful gatherings first.

The delicate and pretty girl also agreed and said: “Then let’s follow Senior Brother Cheng.”

“Let’s stay in the City Lord’s Mansion first. The auction will begin in two days.” Cheng Zhuo said with a smile.

A pupil from the Imperial Academy asked in confusion: “Is it convenient to go to the City Lord’s Mansion?”

After all, they had never had any dealings with the City Lord, so would it be a bit abrupt to reside directly in the City Lord’s Mansion?

The pretty girl giggled, “You probably don’t know yet, Senior Brother Cheng Zhuo is the Young City Lord of Hai City. It’s just a small matter for him to take us to the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“I welcome everyone to stay in the City Lord’s Mansion. Since we’ve come to the sea realm, I will naturally do my best to be the host.” Cheng Zhuo smiled brightly.

The pupils of the two Academies didn’t refuse. After all, they were unfamiliar with Hai City, and Cheng Zhuo was the Young City Lord, so it was naturally the best.

Moreover, the pupils of the two Academies were also very interested in the auction he mentioned. In fact, the pupils from large families had all heard of the auction in Hai City.

“Senior Brother Cheng, the auction you mentioned is very grand. Is it suitable for us to participate?” A pupil from the Holy Academy asked curiously.

Cheng Zhuo smiled and explained: “Every five years, Hai City will hold an auction across the sea and land. All the auction items can’t be found on the Central Continent, and most of them are treasures of the sea. We just happened to encounter it, otherwise if we miss it, we’ll have to wait another five years.

“Recently, many powerhouses have come to Hai City. The standards of the auction are very high, and the minimum entry standard requires the cultivation base of Spirit King. Spirit Emperors occupy the majority of guests.” He added.

“So that’s how it is, then we’re pretty lucky.”

¹Hai City is literally 海城 meaning ‘Sea City’.
