Gu Jianlin turned around in shock and looked at the girl surrounded by bodyguards.
"You don't know me, but you can call me Miss Lan. I am the alchemist invited by the Third Master."
Miss Lan was sitting in the back row. The guests who had come to attend the auction had been evicted. Her face was covered by a black curtain by the bodyguards, and her voice was ethereal: "I am the Gua Master Path. This is my unique spiritual communication ability. You can also directly imagine your voice in your mind to communicate with me, and no one else will hear it. But please don't get me wrong, I'm not covering for you in front of that red-haired woman."
She said reservedly and indifferently: "I just don't want to expose Sister Yueji's identity."
Her eyes lingered on the doggy man and woman in front of her.
Tang Ling clearly felt the hostility, a strange color flashed through her beautiful scarlet eyes, but she didn't say much.
She claims to be sold to work at the Sword Tomb, but both the president and the King of Silver treat her as a direct successor. There is no doubt about her strength and talent, and she has also developed a arrogant character.
She despises 99% of the people in this world equally, and never cares about the hostility of outsiders.
As long as the dog doesn't bark in front of her, that's fine.
Gu Jianlin frowned and said, "Are you Yue Ji's friend?"
If you can recognize his identity, you must be someone you can trust.
This is out of trust in Yuju.
"Yes, she and I are very good friends, and I know most of her things."
Miss Lan sat on the chair and said calmly: "How is her injury?"
Gu Jianlin replied: "You are recovering well, there is no danger."
Miss Lan nodded slightly and suddenly changed the subject: "In the dark world, auctions are a very ritualistic event. I think you have seen it just now. This is out of memory and respect for the king. Because the king is still alive. When I was young, I liked to visit auctions around the world and collect some interesting things.”
Gu Jianlin didn't understand what he meant.
"Compared to the merit system of the Ether Association, the transactions in the dark world are more unbridled and free."
Miss Lan said: "It is also an opportunity for candidates to be promoted."
Gu Jianlin vaguely caught something from her tone.
"Originally, Sister Yue Ji was supposed to come today."
Miss Lan's next words made him understand something: "But she was injured."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a second.
"The auction is about to start. Turn around and don't look at me."
Miss Lan said softly.
Gu Jianlin turned around and looked at the lit screen in front of him.
Tang Ling glanced at him.
Gu Jianlin shook his head, indicating that nothing happened.
There is a lifting platform at the front of the temple, which displays today's auction items in sequence.
At the same time, the auction information will also be displayed on the rear screen for guests’ reference.
"Mythical Arms: Swallowed by Whales."
"Appraisal report: This is a mythical weapon unearthed from the Great Wilderness Sea on the first floor of Qilin Immortal Palace. It has been buried for two thousand years. It looks like a bronze sword. When the sword comes out, it will evoke the whale song and destroy Extremely powerful.”
"Status: Spiritually disabled."
"Starting price: 50 million."
A blue ancient bronze sword was reflected on the screen, and the shadow of a giant whale seemed to shake the void.
The temple echoed with the faint whale song, as if in a dream.
As for the authentic product, it was sealed in a simple golden sword box and sealed with dense talismans.
This is a mythical weapon that needs to be restored, but it is too rare after all. It caused a huge sensation among the guests, and was directly pushed to a sky-high price of 200 million.
The person who finally took the photo of this mythical weapon did not stand up to accept the compliments from others.
Instead, he left the scene in a low-key manner to collect his auction items.
However, at this moment, a clear bell rang.
That was one of the six boxes from the top of the temple, the second master's box.
The man who had photographed the Shinhwa Arms suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face looking very ugly.
"No wonder, he left in such a hurry, and no one was unwilling just now."
Tang Ling said lightly.
Gu Jianlin also noticed that everyone around him was joking and having fun.
"This is also the tradition of the dark world. It is not enough for you to have enough financial resources to auction the items. If someone wants to force the purchase, then you must stay and fight. You can do it yourself, or you can let others do it for you, but in the end You have to win to keep your bid, otherwise your bid is invalid."
Miss Lan said lightly: "This is also the tradition left by Wang. Legend has it that in the early years when Wang was still young, he often could not get the items he wanted because of lack of financial resources. Therefore, he would carry a rattle with him and use the ringing to attract the other person's attention. Next, have a cordial and friendly exchange to get the other party to give up their offer.”
What a cordial and friendly exchange.
Gu Jianlin suddenly discovered that there were ancient clocks standing outside each of the six boxes.
"The same goes for the bell. If you have something you must get, you can try ringing the bell. But when the bell rings, it determines the outcome, as well as life and death."
Ms. Lan said: "Wang used to like boxing, and he often had unpleasant encounters with people at auctions and exhibitions. He had a mythical weapon called Painting the Ground as a Prison, which could create a closed barrier, and he could settle grievances in the barrier. Painting the Earth as a Prison The characteristic is that after the barrier is formed, only one person can come out alive."
"Therefore, although there is no mythological weapon of drawing the earth as a prison, the dark world also retains this tradition."
"It's just that few people ring that bell," she said.
It seems that the Red King's status in the dark world is really like that of the Holy Lord.
No one can beat it.
Gu Jianlin shook his head, turned around and asked with lip language: "Are you interested?"
Tang Ling narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly: "It's a bit interesting, but not as good as my Ji Lei."
Seeing these two people interacting like this, Miss Lan's eyes became even colder.
"There is an item for auction today, called the Heart of the Moonstone. This is a very rare extraordinary resource. It is a plant that only grows in the ancient god world. It must be bathed in the blood of the ancient god species in order to bloom. Lord Netherworld's attendant is in Qilin It was picked from the Silent Swamp on the first floor of the Immortal Palace, and six fourth-level lives were added to it."
She said coldly: "According to our plan, Sister Yue Ji was supposed to capture the Heart of the Moon Stone here. This is a necessary resource for her to advance to the fifth level of Yue Si, but she was seriously injured because of you."
For a moment, Tang Ling turned to look at the boy beside her.
Because Gu Jianlin's expression finally showed a trace of emotion.
"Sister Yue Ji's dedication to you is something you can never imagine. If she hadn't wasted so much time on you some time ago, she would have been promoted to the fifth level last month."
Miss Lan's voice was cold: "Sister Yue Ji took a talent test when she was eight years old. Her adaptability to the ghost-slaying path is almost perfect, which means that her obsession is very deep. Very deep. Join You After joining the Yingying Group, she conducted a second test, and there was no ghost slayer with a better talent than her in the entire Youying Group."
"Therefore, the highest level of Youying Group appreciates her very much and promises her a bright future. But she gave up many precious opportunities for you and to stay by your side."
She paused and said, "So much so that within the Youying Group, those competitors who are not as talented as her have surpassed her in rank. She is still in the fourth level today and is almost obliterated by everyone."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, thinking what a fool he was.
"And I guess she never said a word to you about any of this."
Miss Lan said: "Joining the Youying Group alone, she has endured more hardship than you imagine."
Gu Jianlin thought of the pain he had endured during the past two nights.
It's like a stone falling into the quiet lake of the heart, causing ripples.
Yes, after losing the teacher who protected her since childhood, she is just a seventeen-year-old girl.
It's already very hard for a person to work outside, and he still has to spend a lot of time protecting this sluggish person.
No one knows how much sadness and sorrow there is in it.
Including the pain he felt was just the tip of the iceberg.
"I can also tell you that Sister Yue Ji is not without enemies."
Miss Lan said coldly: "Her family has come to her door three times. If she wants to get rid of her family's entanglement, she must become strong enough and have a strong background to support her."
Gu Jianlin's hand on his leg flicked like an electric shock.
"Senior brother once said that the biological mother of Sister Youzhu and Sister Youxia came from an ancient family in the dark world, so why did she marry an ordinary person like Uncle Su? In the end, they divorced and abandoned their two children."
He murmured to himself that he was not interested in the bloody grudges of the previous generation.
The point of this matter is that this ancient family in the dark world does not seem to be simple, and it has repeatedly disturbed the lives of the two sisters and given them a certain sense of oppression.
My elder sister works outside all year round, and my younger sister is struggling in a dark world with many worries.
This should be what the two sisters are worried about.
It is also their biggest secret.
"I'm telling you this just to make you cherish her. After losing her, you will never find a girl in this world who treats you better than her. Oh, she originally asked me to give you an alchemy weapon. "
Miss Lan said: "Although I don't know why she chose you, I respect her choice. We will try our best to get the Heart of Moonstone. As for you, I hope you will stop flirting with other women."
After saying that, she turned and left.
The bodyguards followed respectfully.
Gu Jianlin was still thinking about the girl at home, but he was stunned when he heard the last half of the sentence.
This Miss Lan seems to have misunderstood something.
Tang Ling is just his teammate.
Before solving the Gu family curse, he didn't want to think about emotional issues.
This is the principle.
Well, principles.
"Is this your friend?"
Tang Ling raised her eyebrows, a trace of confusion flashed in her crimson eyes: "I think she is hostile to me."
This beautiful girl from the Sword Tomb crossed her arms and crossed her long, snow-white legs, swaying.
Quite unhappy.
"Not really."
Gu Jianlin shook his head, lowered his head, took out his phone, and opened the girl's WeChat chat box.
Bewildered.
When I was in school, I often saw a male classmate staring at the chat box on his mobile phone, making a comment about a girl he liked. He stayed there for a long time, typed many words, and finally deleted it.
He didn't understand what it felt like.
Now he probably understands.
"Youzhu..."

In the luxurious private room, Mr. Liu was sitting on the soft sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ah, this coward, as soon as the second master rang the bell, he gave up immediately."
The door of the box opened and Miss Lan walked in surrounded by security guards.
"Hey, Miss Lan."
Liu Sanye smiled and said: "Where have you been for such a long time?"
Miss Lan said calmly: "Nothing, the next auction is the Heart of Moon and Stone. Although the fourth master has gone crazy, the old man from the Si family came to take over. This old man is more difficult to deal with, and I also saw Ye Hua's Bitch. Since she was severely injured by Sister Yue Ji last time, she has tempered herself like crazy and become very scary."
She said: "As a fourth-level Shura, this bitch Ye Hua is so powerful that even Sister Yue Ji has to go all out. As long as Ning Chen and Butcher don't confront this bitch, they should definitely win."
Mr. Liu sighed and said: "You can win three out of five rounds, and you can only win two rounds at most. If Miss Yue Ji is here, you don't have to be afraid of Ye Hua at all. You can get the Heart of Moon and Stone reliably."
Miss Lan was silent.
"What are our chances of winning today?"
Liu Sanye asked tentatively: "How about you tell the fortune?"
Miss Lan said quietly: "I have already calculated it, but it won't work if I say it out loud."
"I will try my best to win the next game."
Ning Chen said lazily.
"Me too."
The butcher turned his head and said, "Miss Nightingale, please give me the last round."
There is also a weak-looking girl in the corner, but she is actually a fourth-level ruler.
Overlord Path.
In the absence of Tsukiji, the three of them are the strongest candidates here.
Try to win three games.
The remaining two have no hope.
There are only three main players on Fourth Master's side, and everyone relies on their abilities.
