"Your Highness, can you tell us what kind of treasures would be auctioned tonight?" Xiao Hua asked while looking at the fifth princess with a smile. The both of them are waitresses of Jiu Shen's store and they had become good friends after working in the same place for quite some time. Although they had a difference in status, the fifth princess treated everyone in Jiu Shen's store as her friends without prejudice. 

Princess Sylvia put on a mischievous smile upon hearing that. She then replied in a slightly mysterious tone. "I'm not telling you. Emperor father had already guessed that you'd come here, and he told me to leave you guys in suspense, so I won't speak anything about it. However, I am certain that you would definitely like some of the items that will be auctioned later. Hehe." She stuck her tongue out playfully after saying those words.

Lu Sulan had the urge to knock the little girl's head after seeing her naughty expression, but she held herself back and just slumped on her chair while glaring at the fifth princess.

Most of Lu Sulan's time was spent inside the Ice Cloud Sword Sect's ice castle for the past decade, so she was a bit excited about this auction. She might already be a top expert in the Profound Dragon Continent, but she was still a woman who wanted to buy luxurious things to satisfy herself. Besides, her Ice Cloud Sword Sect wasn't short in True Crystals.

Xiao Hua smiled helplessly when she saw the expression on the fifth princess' face, and she knew that she couldn't force the latter about it especially because it was the emperor's command. In the end, she could only flash a wry smile. 

"I'll have to excuse myself now, everyone. I still have to greet the other guests or else emperor father might punish me for my negligence. If anyone from the Xue Family makes trouble for you, just call me and I'll help you thrash them. Hehe. Wine Master Jiu, Sect Mistress Lu, please excuse me." Princess Sylvia smiled as she curtsied at Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan. 

Jiu Shen remained silent, while Lu Sulan gestured for her to leave. 

After the fifth princess left the fourth VIP room, Lu Sulan turned her gaze to Jiu Shen and asked in a small voice. "Master, do you want me to tell that little girl about the Xue Family? They might do something harmful to her for this humiliation."

Jiu Shen told his most trusted subordinates about the present condition of the Silver Wing Empire, and Lu Sulan was already aware of the Xue Family's involvement with the Undying Corpse Sect. She was worried that something might happen to the fifth princess considering what the latter had done earlier. 

Jiu Shen's expression remained calm, and he was looking at the people inside the auction house through the thin glass from their VIP room. He didn't look the slightest bit worried about the fifth princess at all. He then replied to Lu Sulan with an indifferent tone. "You don't need to be worried about her. Although the Silveria Imperial Family looks much weaker on the surface compared to the Xue Family and the Undying Corpse Sect, I can tell that Elyk still has something under his sleeves. Besides, I wouldn't allow them to harm her with me around here." His voice was still calm after he said the last sentence, but Lu Sulan felt a sense of coldness at that instant. She knew her master was not joking after sensing that strange feeling of coldness! 

Jiu Shen might be indifferent to the lives of mortals, but Princess Sylvia was now a waitress in his store. She had even received his guidance in swordsmanship and cultivation.

Jiu Shen had already considered Princess Sylvia as one of his own, and he wouldn't allow anyone to harm his people!

"In that case, I can rest assured." Lu Sulan said with a sigh of relief.

Not long after that short interaction, the Xue Family arrived inside the auction house. There were also ten disciples among them, and they were led by three elders. One of these elders was the one that was humiliated by the fifth princess earlier, and he was now looking at her with suppressed killing intent. This elder wasn't weak at all. He was already at the early stage of the 7th-rank Emperor, and the other two elders standing beside him also had similar levels of cultivation. 

These three elders were surrounded by a dense amount of corpse qi, but the only one who could sense it was Jiu Shen. Even Lu Sulan with her 9th-rank Saint realm cultivation wasn't able to sense it.

Princess Sylvia snorted in her heart when she saw the elder's face, but she still put on a professional smile on her face. "Guests from the Xue Family, I'm so sorry to inform you that all the VIP rooms in our Silver Dragon Auction House are now occupied, but don't worry, I will arrange the front seats for you guys so that you can see the auctioned item in a much closer distance." Her excuse was flawless and she even spoke in a polite tone as if sitting at the front was something to be proud about, but Elder Kuan who was humiliated by her earlier wasn't happy about this arrangement.

The Xue Family was supposed to be inside the fourth VIP room, but they were actually denied entry because of Jiu Shen's arrival. If it was before, Elder Kuan would never dare show his anger, but after learning the secrets of his Xue Family, his confidence was increased. "Your Highness, do you really want to bully our Xue Family like this?" His voice was eerily cold as if he couldn't wait to tear the fifth princess apart. 

The crowd sensed the tense atmosphere at the reception hall, but they didn't dare make any rash move. They just silently spectated the scene with interest. 

Princess Sylvia put on an innocent appearance as she replied. "What do you mean, Elder Kuan? Are you dissatisfied with this arrangement? Let me tell you the truth, this is the emperor father's decision!" 

"Someone actually dared to snatch the Xue Family's VIP room? But if this is truly His Majesty's arrangements, then the Xue Family could only swallow this insult."

"What do you know? The ones who snatched the fourth VIP room are Wine Master Jiu and Sect Mistress Lu of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-wine-store_17943548006795805/the-four-princes-gathers_51092200104188595 for visiting.

"So that's how it is. What a pity."

Elder Kuan glared at the crowd after hearing their discussion which made everyone shut their mouths abruptly. They could sense that the strength of Elder Kuan was greater than their own, and no one among them was foolish enough to provoke the Xue Family, so they immediately ceased their chattering. 

Hmph!

Elder Kuan snorted in disdain after seeing that he had scared the crowd with his gaze. He then brushed past the fifth princess as he led his group to the seats in front.

Princess Sylvia made a face while looking at their back figures. She then went back to the reception hall to receive the other guests. 

"The emperor has arrived!" The shrill voice of a eunuch echoed inside the auction house, and everyone immediately stood up from their seats while looking respectfully at the man being led by the fifth princess. Even the Elder Kuan and the Xue Family stood up from their seats to stare at the man being led by the fifth princess. 

Emperor Elyk had a dignified look as he walked with steady steps. Behind him were his four sons, Crown Prince Reinhardt, Second Prince Arslan, Third Prince Erevard, and Fourth Prince Dante. All of the four princes looked elegant and poised with different kinds of charms. Everyone was shocked to see all four of them present at the same place. 

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" 

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Although everyone inside the auction house came from the most prominent families and sects in the Silver Wing Empire, none of them dared to disrespect the emperor. Who among them didn't see his valiance when a huge dragon had come to Beltran City more than a month ago? Even Elder Kuan who had an ugly expression just a moment ago didn't dare offend the emperor. 

"No need for formalities, everyone. You may go back to your seats. I just came here since I heard that my good friend Wine Master Jiu is here." Emperor Elyk said before he went straight to the fourth VIP room to meet Jiu Shen. There was still a bit more time before the auction would start, so he could still chat with Jiu Shen with the remaining time. The emperor also wanted to see the young kids that Jiu Shen brought with him to register in the martial arts contest two days later.

Princess Sylvia led them to the fourth VIP room where Jiu Shen and his group were staying. She then knocked on the door as she said. "Wine Master Jiu, emperor father is here and he wants to come inside and chat with you for a bit." 

The room was silent for a moment before an indifferent voice drifted. "Let them in."

Princess Sylvia grinned upon hearing his reply. She then pushed open the door before gesturing for her father and four brothers to come inside the VIP room.  

Emperor Elyk saw the naughty smile hanging on his daughter's face, but he could only helplessly chuckle in his heart. Even though he was the emperor, he didn't have the heart to scold his most precious daughter. Who told him to spoil this little girl?
