In the blink of an eye, the day set by the Heaven Dou Auction House arrived. On this day, various luxurious carriages successively arrived at the Heaven Dou Auction House.
The people descending from the carriages were all big figures rarely seen on ordinary days.
Naturally, Li Qing and the others didn't need to worry about receiving guests. They only needed to wait for the auction to begin and appear last to auction his book.
That's right.
As businessmen, the auction house naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. Even when facing various powerful figures, they didn't have the idea of preparing a separate auction for Li Qing and the others.
They just let Li Qing's auction item appear last.
However, the auction also brought out many good things, such as the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone needed for the final auction item. Bringing it out at this time would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
As for why they didn't take the Martial Soul evolution method to auction.
Because the quantity wasn't enough. Good things like ten-thousand-year-old soul bones have either been absorbed or have long since been auctioned off. Who would hold so much inventory?
Second floor of the auction house.
Here, seats are divided by colors such as red, black, purple, yellow, and white to distinguish customer classes. However, today was still somewhat special, and seats below the red level were not open.
Li Qing, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan sat in a corner of the red area, quietly waiting.
Besides the three of them, many nobles were already in place before Ning Fengzhi and others. They didn't come for the Martial Soul evolution method but merely to watch the excitement.
After all, the matter had caused such a stir; not coming to witness it would truly be unreasonable.
Since it wasn't a special session, the auction house didn't refuse them. As long as they met the admission requirement of one million gold soul coins for the red area, they could participate in this auction.
Oslo and others, along with their family members, arrived one after another and all came over to greet them.
However, they only introduced themselves briefly and didn't show any excessive enthusiasm. In short, the whole process didn't make Li Qing feel uncomfortable in any way.
Having just seen off the Shi family brothers and their family, Ye Lingling also brought three people over.
A slightly plump old man who looked sixty or seventy years old, a tall and handsome middle-aged man, and a tall young woman.
Li Qing roughly knew her family situation; they should be her grandfather, uncle, and aunt.
However, what surprised Li Qing and Dugu Yan somewhat was that Ye Lingling, who never took off her veil even when eating, was not wearing a veil today.
As for her appearance...
Girls who intentionally cover their faces are either extremely ugly or extremely beautiful, and Ye Lingling was clearly the latter. Li Qing even had a feeling that she should be wearing a veil.
Because her beauty was too likely to cause trouble.
Dugu Yan's beauty wasn't actually considered very high, but her heroic aura mixed with a hint of bewitching charm was a great plus. Ye Lingling, on the other hand, was purely beautiful, the kind you couldn't find any fault with.
Coupled with her unique ethereal temperament, she inexplicably possessed a touch of fairy-like aura.
"Ling Ling, what are you doing?"
Dugu Yan walked closer, looking at her as if she were a monster, which made Ye Lingling's expression slightly awkward. She looked at her family, then at Li Qing.
Dugu Yan's gaze swept over her family and Li Qing, and she instantly understood.
"Hehe, you're trying to go for a younger one, huh? Do you want me to play matchmaker for you?" Dugu Yan said with a mischievous smile, leaning close to her ear and teasing softly.
Ye Lingling immediately blushed deeply.
"Greetings, Your Excellency Poison Douluo!"
Ye Lingling's family first came before Dugu Bo to bow and greet him. Only after the latter nodded in acknowledgment did they straighten up, their gazes all falling on Ye Lingling.
As if saying, "Why don't you come over and introduce us?"
Ye Lingling awkwardly stepped forward and introduced the three to Li Qing. Just as Li Qing had guessed, the three were her grandfather Ye Tianxing, uncle Ye Dichen, and aunt Liu Xinyi.
"Junior Li Qing greets all seniors."
Li Qing naturally also sensed Ye Lingling's unusual behavior, but he didn't show any abnormality. He greeted them as he should, acting as if nothing was wrong.
Ye Tianxing nodded and said, "Ling Ling talks about you all the time. Seeing you today, you are indeed a young talent."
"Senior, you flatter me." Li Qing's expression remained unchanged.
Although the three had a strong purpose, they handled it well and only exchanged a few simple words before leaving. However, Ye Lingling gave Li Qing an apologetic look as she left.
"Tsk tsk..."
"Look, your sweetheart is here."
Dugu Yan was about to tease Li Qing, but was forcibly interrupted by him. She looked sideways and saw Yu Tianheng and his grandfather, as well as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Master and others, walking in.
"Hmm?"
Dugu Bo sharply turned his head to look. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, almost instantly locking onto Yu Tianheng, because he was the most likely possibility.
Dugu Yan said disdainfully, "What nonsense sweetheart? Don't talk rubbish."
She used to think Yu Tianheng was quite good, but in the past six months, she suddenly felt he was a bit annoying. Because whenever she and Li Qing exchanged a few extra words, he would act strangely.
Although he was like this before, he never showed it in front of Dugu Yan.
If someone made him unhappy, he would only secretly cause trouble for them. So, Dugu Yan had never felt uncomfortable before.
It's different now.
Since Yu Tianheng couldn't deal with Li Qing, he could only occasionally show his displeasure to express his attitude, and most of the time, that look was directed at her.
This made her feel a bit disgusted.
When Dugu Bo heard Dugu Yan's words, he immediately withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. He had thought his own cabbage had been quietly taken by a pig.
"What did you do, kid? Why do I feel Senior Dugu Bo is looking at you strangely?"
Who was Yu Yuanzhen? He immediately caught Dugu Bo's gaze. The look in the other party's eyes, as if he wanted to stab Yu Tianheng, made him feel somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't do anything?"
Yu Tianheng was startled for a moment, then suddenly looked at Li Qing and said coldly, "It must be that dog Li Qing speaking ill of me in front of Senior Dugu Bo."
"Do you have a conflict with Li Qing?"
As a clan master, Yu Yuanzhen naturally wasn't a fool. As far as he knew, his grandson was no match for Li Qing at all. Why would someone who could solve things himself need to complain?
Yu Tianheng nodded.
"Sigh!"
Yu Yuanzhen felt very tired. None of his three runaway descendants gave him peace of mind. One fell in love with his cousin, and one hired an assassin to kill Li Qing.
Now even the youngest is acting foolishly.
Even if you don't befriend a genius like Li Qing, don't offend him. Offending him isn't a big deal in itself, but the problem is you have to handle it cleanly.
Now look what happened.
Now that he has Dugu Bo backing him, his growth environment has greatly improved. Once he grows up, he will definitely be a huge hidden danger for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Even if they can withstand retaliation, they will definitely pay an extremely heavy price.
And don't forget he has Dugu Bo by his side, who is skilled in group combat. If things get serious, it's not impossible for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to be annihilated.
These troublesome brats, if it weren't for the ties of blood, Yu Yuanzhen sometimes really wanted to slap them to death.
