Liu Xinyue carefully thought back and realized that all of this was being guided step by step by this shopkeeper.

"What exactly is the purpose of this shopkeeper guiding me like this?"

Thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed through Liu Xinyue's mind, could it be that it was the Medicine Appraisal Assembly?

They saw the three dishes as a test of their ability to differentiate between the medicinal ingredients and the theories of the other doctors.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense."

Liu Xinyue looked at the shopkeeper, smiled and nodded, as he responded.

If that was the case, then this wan chun tang's Medicine Appraisal Assembly was just a pretense. Their so-called true Medical Appraisal Assembly should have already started at the start of the banquet.

After thinking it through, Liu Xinyue started to focus her attention on the Western Dancers in front of her and started to study them. What kind of tricks would the wan chun tang come up with next?

Seeing Liu Xinyue's expression, the shopkeeper was first stunned, and then quickly reacted to it. It was likely that this person had already guessed his plans.

"This Doctor Huo Zhongxi, not only does he seem to have medical knowledge and instructions, his observation skills are also extremely astonishing."

The shopkeeper was standing right above them. Aside from the abbot's banquet, he was also observing the guests. Of course, it was more accurate to say that he was observing the doctors brought by the guests.

Amongst these doctors, compared to those doctors who had an owner, those doctors who were unmarried and hadn't followed any of the major forces were the focus of the shopkeeper's attention.

Amongst them, this Doctor Huo Zhongxi was already within his line of sight, and was someone he needed to pay attention to.

"That Mountain Sect doctor can be considered to have some ability, and he followed General Qi here. Right now, we still don't know if he's a person of General Qi or not."

The shopkeeper looked at Chong Zhicheng on the other side, and thought for a bit, although this person's performance was not bad, he could only be considered as with a little skill, so he couldn't get his attention on Chong Zhicheng yet, and could only let him go for now, and see his performance in the future.

On the other hand, if this sect belonged to Qi Hongyin, there was no need for further consideration. However, the shopkeeper could not confirm this aspect.

"It's about time."

While the shopkeeper was deep in thought, the white-clothed man behind the screen spoke to him.

With these words, the shopkeeper immediately made a hand gesture to the Western Dancer in the lead.

At this time, the West Dancing Lady was about halfway through her performance. Most of the men present were engrossed in her beautiful dance.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

All of a sudden, along with the three sounds of the drum, the originally elegant music turned into a passionate music. The West Dancers, who were constantly pinching their tiny waists, also changed their dancing style to the music.

They began to rapidly shake their waists or buttocks. At the same time, the few of them moved back and forth, swapping positions.

Sometimes squatting down, sometimes bending down, and sometimes spinning and jumping, it could be said that the atmosphere in the banquet hall had reached a new level of fervor.

"Alright!"

Chong De put down his wine cup, his drunken look as if he was moved by the music, suddenly standing up and clapping his hands.

Liu Xinyue saw that the music had changed with the dancers from the Western Regions, and immediately looked towards the shopkeeper. Although he was smiling, he could tell that there was nothing wrong with it, but her intuition told her that something was about to happen.

Just like Liu Xinyue's intuition, a change suddenly happened on stage while everyone was enjoying the dance performance of the female dancers from the Western Regions.

In a split-second, those Western Dancers who were originally twisting their waists suddenly turned into thorny roses. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws at the guests. Their attacks were extremely vicious.

There were even some Western Dancers who took out their belts from their waists. With a flick of their belts, those soft belts immediately turned into hard sabers, attacking the guests who were still immersed in the dance and didn't react.

Ah!" Help!

The change was too sudden, and the frightened ladies screamed one after another. The surrounding men also realized that if they didn't get their guards or servants to go up, they would have to subdue these Western Dancers.

"There's an assassin!" Protect the prince! "

Xiahou Lian and the other two bodyguards were the first to react, they immediately took out their own blades and started to fight with the assassins, the scene immediately becoming filled with blade lights and sword images.

"Save me, how could this happen?!"

"Mom, I'm hurt, I'm bleeding!"

"Shopkeeper, why would there be an assassin here?!"

Everyone present immediately became flustered. A proper banquet to sneak in an assassin was no small matter. They were all people that valued their lives very much, and they all began to flee. Some of the more timid ones even directly lay down on the ground, hiding within the square table.

"Is this a coincidence or is this something that the wan chun tang has purposely arranged?"

Liu Xinyue was also shocked and angry, this scene had exceeded her expectations. Assassin or something, if it was deliberately arranged with wan chun tang, they really would dare to do it, right?

"Mistress, hide behind me. Be careful not to get hurt by accident."

Ya Er immediately stood in front of Liu Xinyue, blocking one of her hands while the other guarded against the attacks of the assassins.

"Jia Mu Jia He, come here. Ya Er will protect us."

Seeing the anxious Chen Jiahe, Liu Xinyue immediately asked the two brothers to come over. Ya Er still had some skills, and he also had poison on him, in addition to the Duke's guards and so on, it was enough to deal with these assassins.

After Chen Jiamu and Chen Jiahe heard this, they also knew that they were in a panic, but they still followed Liu Xinyue and the others.

"Brother Huo, what do you think happened? How could an assassin sneak into a good banquet? " Chen Jiamu could not help but ask.

"I'm afraid these assassins didn't sneak in." Liu Xinyue looked at the shopkeeper, and understood immediately when he saw that he did not have any expression of panic.

"What do you mean?" Chen Jiamu was startled, he felt that Liu Xinyue had some hidden meaning.

"Look at the shopkeeper's expression, he isn't afraid at all." Liu Xinyue quickly said to Chen Jiamu.

"Could it be that this wan chun tang's so-called auction is actually a conspiracy?" Seeing that, Chen Jiamu could not help but calm down and asked.
