In front of the Primer Auction House, Nalan Yanran and I stood side by side. The two of us didn't care about the small incident just now. We chatted casually all the way here.
I looked up and saw that the auction house was made of white rock. It was tall and heavy, like a castle!
In front of the open door, more than fifty armed guards were standing in a row. Their vicious eyes constantly scanned the crowd.
I didn't care about these guards and walked into the auction house with Nalan Yanran. Under the soft halo, the noise outside suddenly disappeared.
Separated by a door, it was like two worlds.
Inside the hall, there were still many guards. Every three steps, there was a guard. Every five steps, there was a sentry. It was like a military camp. This made me a little surprised. At a glance, in the center of the hall, there were crystal counters scattered like stars in the sky. On top of them were all kinds of rare … No, in this place, they could only be called rare. They weren't rare at all.
I turned to Nalan Yanran and smiled bitterly. "Sister Yanran, there are too many things here. Let's go directly to the manager. Otherwise, it's too troublesome to look at each counter."
"Okay."
Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, her face still cold.
I shook my head slightly and went forward to speak a few words with a guard. Using the name of the Nalan family, I quickly saw the person in charge of this place. It was a middle-aged man named Du Er Primer. However, the enchanting and charming Ya Fei was nowhere to be seen.
Right, Ya Fei was still in Wu Tan City. Because Xiao Yan had wantonly auctioned things there, Ya Fei had made some achievements and was transferred to Jia Ma City.
Thinking of this, I was a little excited. Xiao Yan had been changed by me. Would he still go to the auction house? If he didn't go, wouldn't he not have any interaction with Ya Fei?!
Although this way, Ya Fei wouldn't be able to make any achievements in a short time. She would have to endure a few more years in Wu Tan City before she could be transferred to Jia Ma City …
I collected my thoughts and smiled at Du De. "Uncle Du De, do you sell poison scriptures here?"
Although the three major clans are fighting openly and covertly, they are of the same breath and branch. It is not too much for me to call Du Er uncle.
Du Er was also friendly to me and Yanran. He frowned and thought for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, "Nephew Nalan, the Book of Poisons is an obscure book. I don't have it. Of course, if nephew Nalan really wants it, I can help nephew keep an eye out. "
I was a little disappointed. However, the number of Poison Scriptures was really small, so I didn't have much hope. I turned around to look at Nalan Yanran. Seeing her frown, I couldn't help but feel happy.
I coughed dryly and withdrew my gaze. I took out a list from my storage ring and handed it to Du E, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Du E. Please keep an eye on the poison scripture for Ye 'er. And these three medicinal herbs, I wonder if Uncle has them? "
This is what Nalan Dong and Zeng Li gave me when I went to see them before I left. It's used to treat Nalan Jie. It's a rare medicinal herb that my Nalan family doesn't have in their treasury.
Du E took the list and looked at it. He nodded and immediately sent someone to get it. The three of us immediately chatted. However, I felt that Du E wasn't interested in me. He was more interested in Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran is the daughter of the Patriarch of Nalan Family and the disciple of the Yunlan Sect's Master. How can I compare to her? In the entire Jia Ma Empire, except for a few people at the top, who doesn't want to curry favor with her?
Unfortunately …
I sneered in my heart and coldly looked at Du E trying to curry favor with Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran's temperament is cold. Even if you flatter her, what can you do? Hey, it's better to turn around and curry favor with this young master. If you make this young master happy, I can even reward you with something …
Although Du E wasn't an elder of the Primer Family, his status wasn't bad. I only dared to think about it in my heart. I didn't dare to say it out loud.
Not long after, the maid who went to get the herbs came back with a silver tray. However, when I looked at it, I found that there were only two herbs on it. Where was the third one?
Du E also found it. He frowned and shouted, "Where's the nine-inch spirit ginseng? Why didn't you bring it here?! "
The maid panicked and said, "Master, someone wanted to buy the nine inch spirit ginseng. Although I stopped the transaction, that person's status was very high, so I didn't dare to take the nine inch spirit ginseng away."
Du E was a little hesitant. I didn't have anything to worry about. I sneered and said, "Which bastard dares to snatch something from this young master? Hey, call him over. I want to see how noble his status is! "
Soon, the maid brought that person over. The person who came had a young face but was already somewhat handsome. What was more eye-catching was his alchemist robe … I was surprised to find that I knew this person. He was Gu He's disciple, Liu Ling!
Liu Ling was probably stunned. As soon as he came in, he looked at me. His eyes were a little dull and infatuated. Then, they became gentle and affectionate …
No, what kind of gaze was that?! Could it be that Liu Ling liked men?
Goosebumps rose all over my body and I jumped away. Only then did I notice that Liu Ling wasn't looking at me but at … Nalan Yanran!
I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. This guy actually dared to have ideas about Sister Yanran?
I coughed and woke Liu Ling up. He said, "I was wondering who dared to snatch herbs from me. So, it was you!"
"So, it was Young Master Nalan Ye."
Liu Ling looked at me and then at Nalan Yanran. He said in a daze, "This should be Miss Nalan Yanran, right? Hearing about you isn't as good as meeting you in person. "
"I am Liu Ling. My master is Mr. Gu He. To be able to meet Miss Yanran is my good fortune!"
Hearing Liu Ling's words, I was furious. What good fortune? Who do you think you are? You are just an extra!
I shouted, "Liu Ling, I want to use this Nine Inch Spirit Ginseng. You should give it to me."
Liu Ling looked at me and then said to Nalan Yanran, "Miss Yanran, my master is trying to save Nalan's family head. This Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng is one of the herbs. Miss Yanran, please give it to me."
I curled my lips and said, "My family's Medicine Refining Elder and Yunlan Sect's Elder Zeng Li are also treating the old man's illness. This Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng is also needed. Liu Ling, you should step back. "
Liu Ling finally looked at me and said, "I have heard of Elder Zeng Li. He is also a Level Five Alchemist. However, Alchemists are not so simple. Not to mention two Level Five Alchemists, even five of them may not be comparable to a Level Six Alchemist. "
"Miss Yanran, Nalan's family head's illness will ultimately fall on my master's head. Miss Yanran, please give this Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng to me. "
Nalan Yanran thought for a moment and nodded, "Medicine Refining Elder and Elder Zeng Li are indeed not as good as Mister Gu He. This Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng will be given to Mister Gu He. Mister Gu He, please do your best to save my grandfather. "
"Of course."
Liu Ling smiled and nodded. In the blink of an eye, he saw the two herbs that the maid was holding. He said in surprise, "Paper Man Flower? Soft Stone Essence? Miss Yanran, my master also needs these two herbs. Miss Yanran, please give them to him. "
My chest tightened and I was so angry that I almost vomited blood. My right hand pointed at Liu Ling and I angrily shouted, "Liu Ling, you are too much!"
I turned my head and looked at Nalan Yanran. I didn't know when, but there was a pleading look in my eyes. However, I didn't know if Nalan Yanran saw it or if she didn't care. She gently nodded and said, "Okay. My family also has a Poison Scripture. Perhaps it will be of help to my grandfather's illness. Mister Gu He, you can also come and take a look. "
Prodigal woman! Prodigal woman!
Hearing those words, my body softened and I almost fell down! Everything was gone. The three herbs were gone. Even the Poison Scripture was given away. I looked at Nalan Yanran and breathed heavily. My mind was blank and I didn't know what to say!
However, Liu Ling had something to say. He kept talking to Nalan Yanran.
What made me even angrier was that old man, Du E! He actually invited Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran to sit down. Then, he asked the maid to serve tea and snacks.
I was so angry that I wanted to go up and punch him!
Don't you know that this is the core area of the auction house? Only the people of the Primer family can enter. And the result? You actually let a few outsiders come here and serve tea? Where are your rules? Where is your integrity?!
I sat down with a stiff face. Unfortunately, no one cared about me. They continued to talk among themselves and I didn't listen to them. I only knew that after I finished the twenty-fourth cup of tea, everyone finally dispersed.
At the entrance of the auction house, Liu Ling cupped his hands to Nalan Yanran and left with a smile on his face. Nalan Yanran and I went to Nalan's mansion.
On the way, I was in a bad mood and didn't say anything. However, I didn't know what was going on with Nalan Yanran. She didn't ask or comfort me.
I quickly comforted myself. Sister Yanran had a cold personality. Maybe she didn't know how to comfort people, so she didn't comfort me …
After we entered the mansion, Nalan Yanran returned to her courtyard. I also returned to my courtyard. After dinner, I returned to my room.
I wasn't in the mood to cultivate. I just lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. The bed was big and soft, and the roof was wide and luxurious. I was very annoyed and unhappy.
Liu Ling was obviously just a small character. Why was my limelight stolen by this guy this afternoon?
I tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before I suddenly realized that Liu Ling was just a small character. But compared to Xiao Yan, he was just a small character. But to me, this guy was clearly … a small boss!
I was only at the 7th level of Dou Zhi Qi. He was already an official Dou Zhe and a Tier One Alchemist.
My father was only the Nalan family's Internal Affairs Elder, an 8-star Da Dou Shi. My grandfather was only a Dou Ling. But his master was Dan King Gu He, a Dou Wang. He was the only Tier Six Alchemist in Jia Ma Empire!
In terms of cultivation and family background, I was completely defeated by Liu Ling! It turned out that Liu Ling was just a small character. But I was just cannon fodder …
"Cannon fodder?"
I muttered. No, how could I be cannon fodder? I am the main character. I have to … cultivate!
I suddenly jumped up from the bed. The main character's first step begins with cultivation!
But before I sat down cross-legged, a wave of tiredness came over me. I subconsciously looked out of the window. I saw that the moon was setting in the west. It was already past midnight.
I couldn't help but yawn. A strange thought appeared in my mind … Cultivating, it didn't seem to make much of a difference in one night? Why don't I rest up today and start cultivating tomorrow?
I frowned and thought about it. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I couldn't help but lie back on the bed. My mind was clear. Without any worries, I quickly fell into a deep sleep and fell into dreamland …
