Chapter 239: Heaven Dou Auction House, Liu Erlong Hands Over Her Family Fortune
Chapter 239: Heaven Dou Auction House, Liu Erlong Hands Over Her Family Fortune
Liu Erlong crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes and brows brimming with gratified smiles, and even the corners of her mouth couldn’t be pressed down.
In terms of Lin Qingmo’s talent, among the people she had seen in her life, she couldn’t find a second one.
Yu Xiaogang... mentioning him was superfluous.
It could be said that the two were two extremes—one the extreme of a Genius, the other the extreme of trash.
A youth only in his teens, his spirit power had already rushed to level fifty, stepping across the threshold of a Spirit King.
This Cultivation speed, let alone the present, even if one searched through the entire history of the continent, would firmly rank in the top three.
During this month and a half, she had been stationed on the back mountain every day, more attentive than a mother Dragon protecting her cub, fearing even the slightest mishap during Lin Qingmo’s Breakthrough.
Now that he had safely emerged from seclusion, her hanging heart finally settled on the ground.
Liu Erlong paced a couple of steps.
Her gaze fell on Lin Qingmo, her words carrying a touch of warmth.
"Qingmo, you are level fifty now; your fifth spirit ring should be put on the agenda."
"When do you plan to go for the Soul Hunt? Do you need me to accompany you? Even against a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, I can still fight without issue."
It was just the right chance to properly fulfill her duty as a teacher.
Lin Qingmo shook his head and smiled at Liu Erlong as he declined, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Liu, but it’s not necessary. My master will help me with the Soul Hunt later."
Before his seclusion, he had already sent word using his master’s medallion.
By then, Sister Donghuang should be the one taking me on this trip. With Sister Donghuang accompanying me, I can also take Ah Yin to the Blue Silver Forest along the way.
He already had a plan in mind.
Furthermore, he intended to find his fifth spirit ring within the Blue Silver Forest.
Truth be told, that eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King was quite suitable; it would be best if it could perform a Sacrifice.
With his master, a Titled Douluo, overseeing things, and Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, present, there was a chance.
As for Dugu Bo?
That old man’s entire skillset was based on poison. Having him tag along for a Soul Hunt felt awkward all over, so it was better to skip it.
After hearing this, the smile on Liu Erlong’s face faded slightly, and she felt a bit disappointed.
However, she still said with a hint of relief, "True, your master is a Titled Douluo whose strength is above mine and is a figure who ranks among the top on the continent."
"Having her accompany you is indeed the most secure."
She had wanted to use the Soul Hunt as an opportunity to properly fulfill her responsibility as a teacher.
As it turned out, the boy had already arranged everything clearly.
On second thought, that Titled Douluo with the title ’Dong Huang’ had unfathomable strength.
Having her along was indeed much more reliable than herself.
While they were chatting...
Dugu Yan suddenly slapped her forehead, her eyes lighting up like lamps as she shouted to everyone.
"Hey! I almost forgot about this!"
"Prince Xue Xing gave my grandfather some invitations. There’s a quarterly auction at the Heaven Dou Auction House tonight."
"I’m not interested, are any of you interested in going to join the fun?"
As she spoke, she waved the few gold-embossed invitations in her hand.
Ning Rongrong curled her lip and said nonchalantly, "An auction? What’s the point?"
"From childhood to now, I’ve attended at least eighty to a hundred auctions; I’ve long since grown tired of them."
"Those so-called rare treasures are just so-so."
She really couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what rare and exotic treasures had she not seen?
In her eyes, many of the things at the Heaven Dou Auction House were just for amusement.
It was just that her father liked to take her along to broaden her horizons.
Yu Feng and Ye Lingling glanced at each other.
Yu Feng spoke first: "Captain, we won’t go join the fun."
"We want to use this time to Cultivate more and strive to break through our Bottlenecks sooner."
Ye Lingling also nodded gently, her voice soft and gentle.
"I will also stay behind to Cultivate."
"The spirit power of the Nine Heart Begonia improves too slowly. I need to seize the time, otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll drag everyone down in the next team battle."
Xiao Wu’s ears immediately caught the word ’auction,’ and her eyes shone like a cat’s.
She reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing’s arm, her voice full of uncontrollable curiosity.
"An auction? I haven’t been to one yet!"
"A-Qing, Zhuqing, since they aren’t going, let’s go take a look together, okay? I heard auctions have all sorts of weird and wonderful things; it’s bound to be super interesting!"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Xiao Wu’s excited appearance, thought about it, nodded slightly, and uttered one word: "Okay."
Seeing her nod, a smile immediately rippled from the corners of Xiao Wu’s mouth.
After hearing Dugu Yan’s words, Lin Qingmo’s heart stirred slightly.
He remembered that in the original work, Tang San also attended an auction; he wondered if it was this one.
He thought for a moment and replied with a smile on his lips:
"Alright, then tonight we’ll go stroll through the auction. Maybe we really will run into something useful."
He wasn’t going for the treasures.
Mainly, he wanted to see how the events of the original work would change.
"Hey, since Qingmo and the rest of you are going, then I’ll go for a stroll too."
As soon as Ning Rongrong heard Lin Qingmo say he was going, she changed her tune faster than flipping a page.
Xiao Wu was suspicious: "Weren’t you uninterested?"
"Haha, anyway, since I’m free, what if I really run into something interesting?"
In her heart, Ning Rongrong actually had zero interest in the auction.
But if Lin Qingmo was going, she certainly had to follow.
Besides, wandering through an auction with them was much more interesting than boring Cultivation on the training grounds.
Hearing that they were going to the auction, Liu Erlong took out a storage spirit tool and stuffed it into Lin Qingmo’s hand.
"Qingmo, take this."
"Hmm?"
Lin Qingmo was slightly taken aback.
He probed inside with his Divine Sense and was instantly stunned.
Inside the spirit tool were neatly stacked gold coins.
The amount was at least a million or so.
He looked up at Liu Erlong, his voice carrying confusion: "Teacher Erlong, why are you suddenly giving me so many gold coins?"
The several people around were also stunned.
They all looked at Liu Erlong, their hearts full of questions.
gold coins? What play was this?
A faint blush rose to Liu Erlong’s cheeks. She raised her hand to scratch the back of her head, coughed once, and quickly tried to cover it up.
"Don’t overthink it, this money isn’t for you, it’s for my goddaughter Xiao Wu!"
"It’s her first time going to an auction since she’s grown up; she’s bound to have many things she likes."
"You hold onto it. When the time comes and she sees something, just buy it directly. Don’t let her feel slighted."
As she spoke, her gaze drifted, not daring to meet Lin Qingmo’s eyes.
She actually just wanted to stuff money into this kid’s hands.
Lin Qingmo’s strength was great, but his hand certainly wouldn’t be flush with gold coins.
In a place like an auction, things were ridiculously expensive. If he saw something and didn’t have enough money, how embarrassing would that be?
But if she gave it to him directly, he would definitely refuse and push it back.
By stuffing it over in Xiao Wu’s name, it was only logical.
Xiao Wu was her goddaughter; it was only natural for her to spend money on her goddaughter. Lin Qingmo wouldn’t have the heart to refuse, right?
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
She stepped forward with a giggle and took Liu Erlong’s arm, her words carrying a sweet, coaxing tone.
"Thank you, Godmother! Godmother loves me the most!"
Godmother was definitely using her name as a pretext to stuff money to A-Qing.
But she wouldn’t expose it.
Clutching the storage spirit tool in his hand, Lin Qingmo’s heart warmed slightly.
He looked up at Liu Erlong, bowed seriously, and spoke with respect.
"Thank you, Teacher Erlong."
He didn’t return the spirit tool.
If he pushed it back, Liu Erlong would surely get anxious with him.
He would just keep this kindness in his heart.
Seeing him accept it, a hearty smile bloomed on Liu Erlong’s face again, and she waved her hand grandly.
"Why are you being polite with me!"
"Be smart at the auction. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just give them my name!"
