97: Too Enthusiastic
Xue Qinghe glanced at Dugu Yan.According to the information she had obtained, Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had always been interested in Dugu Yan, but the latter suddenly transferred to another school and seemed to have a close relationship with Lin Chuan.
It was Dugu Bo who took Dugu Yan away in the first place. The old poisonous creature did not even take a fancy to the successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Instead, he let his granddaughter choose another ordinary soul master. This is very telling.
What's more, Yu Tianheng doesn't seem to be Lin Chuan's opponent.
It seems that this young man in front of him, whose origins are unknown, is not only gifted, but also very powerful.
"Poison Douluo is quite decisive. He actually took the initiative to match his only offspring. This further proves that this Lin Chuan is definitely not a simple person."
It's a pity that there is too little information to know what's special about Lin Chuan.
After a brief chat, Xue Qinghe sat aside, as if he really just came to say hello and get acquainted.
Throughout the whole process, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an air of nobility, there was not a trace of condescending attitude in the way he treated others or in his words and conversation.
Approachable and courteous to others, this is also the unanimous evaluation of Xue Qinghe by the people of Tiandou.
All I can say is that Qian Renxue's performance was really good, and she perfectly portrayed an excellent heir to the empire. If Lin Chuan hadn't guessed her intentions, he might have developed a good impression of her.
Seeing Xue Qinghe sitting not far away, Dugu Yan came forward and said, "Xiaochuan, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks highly of you."
Lin Chuan smiled and shook his head, "This is not a good thing."
Facing the girl's inquiring eyes, Lin Chuan chuckled and did not explain too much.
"Dear guests, the auction will begin soon."
After waiting quietly for a while, a staff member came forward to inform.
"Brother Lin Chuan, why don't we join together?" Xue Qinghe slowly stepped forward and invited.
It seems that he is really interested in me.
"Okay!" Lin Chuan also knew that since he had caught Xue Qinghe's attention, it would be useless to hide blindly. It would be easy for the other party to investigate him.
In that case, it's better to be generous.
"Then let's go!"
Xue Qinghe walked out first with a smile on his face, and Lin Chuan followed behind him with Dugu Yan.
The people who came to participate in the auction entered a spacious venue one after another. Rows of seats were arranged in an orderly manner in the center, and a high platform was built opposite all the seats.
"Xiaochuan, Tiandou Auction House has more than one auction venue. Except for the large-scale auction held every three months, which is held in the main auction venue, the rest of the time, it is a decentralized auction."
Dugu Yan leaned close to Lin Chuan's ear and whispered what she knew.
Lin Chuan nodded silently, and his inner evaluation of the Tiandou Auction House improved a lot.
"Is this Brother Lin's first time here?"
Xue Qinghe, who was standing nearby, suddenly interrupted.
"Yes, I was born a commoner, and I never had the opportunity to enter such a place before."
"Don't say that. At least in my opinion, with Brother Lin's talent, if he is willing, he may become a noble of the empire."
"Then let's borrow your highness's good words!"
After a brief conversation, the three of them quickly sat down.
Thanks to Xue Qinghe, Lin Chuan and Dugu Yan also came and sat in the front row.
There is a special bidding button next to each seat, with four buttons of different colors: Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand, and One Hundred Thousand, representing the price of each additional purchase.
As time passed, the auction venue was about half full, until the auctioneer appeared and the auction officially began.
"Everyone, today's first lot is the Silver Scale Armor!"
"This item was made by a master blacksmith in Gengxin City. The material was taken from the shell of a 900-year-old silver-armored beast. It has excellent defensive power. After testing by our auction house, it is enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a great soul master. At the same time, due to special processing techniques, it is very light and can be worn on the body."
"Silver scale armor, starting price is one thousand gold soul coins, each bid must not be less than one hundred gold soul coins, if you like it, don't miss it."
"Then the bidding begins!"
Under the guidance of the host, the atmosphere on site began to improve.
It can be said that this is an auction house that was established in Tiandou City. The items that can be auctioned are simply incomparable to the items displayed in the hall.
To put it bluntly, there is nothing we dare not sell, except what you can't think of.
Even slaves were involved in the trade.
You know, both the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire openly prohibit the slave trade, but now it is openly displayed in front of everyone, and in the Tiandou Imperial City.
As expected, the Tiandou Empire is definitely behind this auction house.
What a ban, it's all bullshit, it's just one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
Lin Chuan watched the scenes calmly, frowning from time to time, but did not move, just like a bystander.
As the items appeared one after another, there were quite a few that he liked.
Without hesitation, Lin Chuan attacked without hesitation.
Perhaps because Xue Qinghe was sitting next to him, many bidders were not too persistent. After trying once or twice, they simply gave up. Perhaps they wanted to do a favor and get familiar with him!
Lin Chuan was naturally not polite about this.
Half an hour later, the auction officially ended.
"It's over, Brother Lin, Miss Dugu, let's go!"
Xue Qinghe stood up and walked out along the passage. Lin Chuan and Dugu Yan also followed him out of the auction center.
As soon as he walked out of the door, an auction staff member came forward with a tray in his hand, on which were the winnings of Lin Chuan and Xue Qinghe.
"Your Highness, and this distinguished guest, this is your lot."
Lin Chuan checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed over a golden card.
"Pay the bill!"
Unexpectedly, the leading girl did not take it. Instead, she smiled sweetly and said, "Sir, someone has already paid for you."
"Um?!"
Lin Chuan and Dugu Yan were stunned almost at the same time, and then suddenly understood.
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate. How can I let you pay for me? Your Highness, please take it back!" Lin Chuan handed the gold card to the girl in front of him again.
"This..." The girl looked at Lin Chuan, then at Xue Qinghe, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's just a few personal belongings. Why are you being so reserved, Brother Lin? I just feel that I'm very compatible with Brother Lin, so I want to give it to you as a friend. It's just a small token of my appreciation, nothing too exaggerated."
"Or is it that Brother Lin doesn't want to be my friend?"
Xue Qinghe waved his hands, pretending to be displeased.
Lin Chuan suddenly didn't know what to say.
In order to get closer to you, you really spare no effort!
It should be said that it is difficult for ordinary people to resist this operation. The prince of the empire takes the initiative to make friends with you, and is willing to give you so many things.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
I'm afraid most people would feel flattered, right?
Before she became love-minded, Qian Renxue was indeed a woman with great charisma. She was powerful and gentle, and most importantly, generous to her subordinates.
It is hard to imagine that such an ambitious and forbearing person would be swayed by emotions.
Should we say that it is the characteristic of Douluo Continent, or the inheritance of Spirit Hall?
He shook his head to dispel the weird thoughts in his mind.
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe, "It is my honor to be friends with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Thank you for your kindness, I will accept it shamelessly!"
After saying this, he put away all the items including the gold card.
Seeing this scene, Xue Qinghe finally smiled again.
"That's right, but since we are already friends, there is no need to be so polite."
"How about this, I am a few years older than you, so you can just call me Big Brother, Brother Lin. This will make us seem closer, right?"
Lin Chuan: "…"
What else could he say when he met such a proactive person?
"Okay, Brother Xue!" Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still chose to agree.
"Great, great, it's really worth my trip today to meet a friend like Brother Lin!" Xue Qinghe smiled brightly and reached out to pat Lin Chuan on the shoulder.
Lin Chuan's mouth twitched, and he could only smile in response.
Such enthusiasm is really hard to resist!
"Brother Lin, Miss Dugu, the auction is over, why don't you come to my house and let me treat you well?"
Xue Qinghe suddenly extended an invitation.
Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xue. I still have things to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore. If I have the chance in the future, I will visit you again."
Are you kidding? The Prince's Mansion is Xue Qinghe's territory.
Although he appears to be so enthusiastic on the surface, he actually has his own plans behind the scenes. Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Chuan to take the initiative to go to an unfamiliar place.
"Is that so? That's a shame."
Xue Qinghe sighed softly, his heart full of regret, but he nodded gently, "Since Brother Lin has something to do, I won't force you to stay, but you can't refuse next time."
"Of course!"
"Well, Brother Lin, go quickly. I won't see you off."
After a brief farewell, Lin Chuan turned around and left the auction house with Dugu Yan.
Looking at the two people's receding backs, Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, a warm voice suddenly sounded.
Xue Qinghe turned around and saw a middle-aged man in gilded brocade clothes and with a distinguished demeanor walking towards him, with a skinny man beside him.
The people who came were Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Teacher, Senior Bone."
Xue Qinghe was a little surprised, but still greeted him respectfully.
"How come Your Highness the Crown Prince has time to leave the palace today?" Ning Fengzhi asked casually with a gentle smile.
"It's just that I haven't been out for a long time. I happened to be free today, so I thought of walking around and taking a look at the changes in the city. I'm sorry to make you laugh, teacher."
"Then did Your Highness discover anything?" Ning Fengzhi asked again.
Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded, "I did make a good friend."
"Oh?!" Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness, are you talking about the young man from Tianshui College just now?"
This time it was Xue Qinghe's turn to be surprised.
"Teacher, do you also know Brother Lin?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, his smile as warm as the spring breeze.
"I went to Tianshui College before and happened to meet that kid. He is indeed an outstanding young man. Your Highness has a good eye."
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe immediately became interested.
"Brother Lin is so worthy of such high praise from the teacher. Can the teacher tell me about it?"
"Then let's talk while we walk!"
