"The imperial edict says that we have to go to the Anhe Province… for an auction." Qiu Si said as he looked at Meng Xing.
Meng Xing's face turned green. "An auction?!" he exclaimed. His voice was so loud that the driver was startled along with the horses. The carriage almost swerved.
"Yes." Qiu Si nodded in affirmation.
"Why?! I want to go back to the capital! I want to rest!" Meng Xing's face is extremely dark and, if he is just not currently weak, he would have punched a hole on the wall of the carriage.
Ke Lin hid his smile as his shoulders silently shook after he saw Meng Xing's aggrieved and angry expression. He didn't know that Meng Xing could actually act like a child, and now he is having a tantrum.
Qiu Si cleared his throat. "The imperial edict also says that since we failed to catch the elixir thief and now the elixir is not known where His Majesty had us attend the auction in his stead." He explained.
