--- Chapter 143 ---

In a moving royal crested carriage, Qian Renxue calmly looked at the city scenery while the royal princess, Xue Ke, sat beside her.

'Yunlong probably came to the auction too...' Qian Renxue thought while closing his eyes a little.

Xue Ke slowly pouted and said, "Big brother, why are you ignoring me?"

"Hmm?" Qian Renxue smiled a little and moved her gaze to Xue Ke.

"I didn't ignore you, though." She calmly continued. "I'm just a little tired because of my work."

Xue Ke wasn't convinced at all and suddenly leaned her head on Qian Renxue's shoulder. "Really?" She asked with a questioned expression.

"Mm." Qian Renxue gently nodded her head and patted Xue Ke's head.

The carriage gradually stopped in front of a tall building with an auction hammer and golden coins symbol, which caused Xue Ke's eyes to brighten.

"We arrived!" Xue Ke said excitedly while looking at the heaven dou auction house.

'This place isn't that bad, I guess.' Qian Renxue commented because she knew the auction house leader was Yunlong's subordinate or puppet perhaps.

They walked out of the carriage, and many people immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces, which caused Xue Ke to feel slightly displeased in her heart.

'None of them were genuine.' Xue Ke thought while looking at fake smiles on these people's faces.

Qian Renxue also knew about this but she only calmly smiled and greeted them like a charismatic prince.

'They only care because we are royalties, but if we weren't...' Qian Renxue thought while looking at the waitress, which was pushed away by these people a few seconds ago.

"Well, everyone, the auction is about to start, then I'll excuse myself." Qian Renxue said while offering her hand to Xue Ke.

Xue Ke cheerfully took Qian Renxue's hand, and they entered the auction house without any difficulty because the waitress immediately escorted them into a specific vip room.

When Qian Renxue and Xue Ke entered their vip room, another carriage arrived in front of the auction house.

A fine nobleman confidently walked out of the carriage, and he had a tall figure, wearing a white suit with robe and black-framed glasses.

"It looked like there were a lot of people attending the auction this time." The man commented while looking at the auction house, which somehow felt livelier than before.

This man is the current head of the seven treasure clan, Ning Fengzhi, who's also the crown prince's teacher.

"Father, we are here to find a cure for Tang San! Why are you so relaxed!" Ning Rongrong suddenly said while walking out of the carriage, which caused Ning Fengzhi to smile helplessly.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. My little princess." Ning Fengzhi hurriedly responded, and Ning Rongrong pouted.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender also walked out of the carriage and glanced at the auction house with surprised expressions.

"Is the auction house always this big?" Flender frowned because he could smell a lot of money from this building.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, indicating he didn't know about it because all this time he has been pondering why Liu Erlong suddenly moved away from the heaven dou city.

'Why is she suddenly left? What's her connection with Bibi Dong?' Yu Xiaogang pondered, but Flender grasped his shoulder to wake him up from his thoughts.

"Xiaogang, let's go," Flender said while looking at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but sighed at himself because he shouldn't overthink this at the moment.

"Let's go." He responded with a nod.

"Sorry for making you wait," Yu Xiaogang said while looking at Ning Fengzhi, who only chuckled a little.

"It's okay. I understand that you're worried about your student." Ning Fengzhi replied with a smile on his face.

"Because I would also become worried and do the same if my little princess got injured." He continued, which caused Ning Rongrong to blush in embarrassment.

"Hmph." Ning Rongrong swayed her head, but her movement didn't escape Ning Fengzhi's gaze.

'Cute.' Ning Fengzh thought.

As four of them entered the auction house, a bunch of noble carriages rushed in because all of them wanted to attend this auction.

Don't ever underestimate the value of a rumored healed item, even a few powerful spirit masters attending this auction, but keep a low profile because they didn't want to attract attention.

Yunlong and his maids casually walked toward the auction house, and the guard halted them right in front of the building.

"State your name," The guard said while looking at Yunlong.

Yunlong quietly looked at the guard and smiled a little. "Xiao Yan, I'm from the north, and I want to attend the auction." He calmly responded.

"Here is my token." He showed him the auction house leader's token, which caused the guard to tremble in fear.

'T-That is...' The guard looked at Yunlong with great fear and immediately gave him a polite salute.

"W-Welcome, young master." He shakily said, and Yunlong only nodded his head.

Yunlong didn't say anything and only patted the guard's shoulder, walking inside the auction house without any inconvenience.

'Well, this place has become grander than before.' Yunlong commented while looking at the first-floor interior, which is full of high-quality stuff.

Well, these high-quality kinds of stuff were nothing but trash in Yunlong's eyes because he didn't see any value from them.

Xiao Xun, who had been waiting at the receptionist desk, looked at Yunlong and greeted him with respect, which caused many people to look at him with curious gazes.

Yunlong couldn't help but once again face-palmed himself because of his puppet's action.

'Whatever just brings me to one of the vip rooms.' Yunlong naturally instructed, and Xiao Xun mutely nodded his head, taking them to the upper floor.

"B-Bai Xue..." A shaky woman's voice suddenly echoed.

A beautiful woman in her early twenty stood on the first floor. She had striking red hair and a milky white face, which could make every woman in the room jealous.

"Bai Xue, She's here?" The man beside her looked around to find his runaway daughter's silhouette but couldn't find anything.

"Are you sure? it was Bai Xue?" He asked his wife.

The red-haired woman could only nod her head, but at the same time, she wasn't sure because probably it was only her imagination.

'Maybe I just missed Bai Xue too much.' The red-haired woman thought with regret in her heart because if only they didn't engage their daughter, she probably won't run away.

The man looked at his wife with a concerned look because it's been four years since their daughter ran away, yet they didn't have any information about her.

'If only I'm not weak, we wouldn't need any help from those bastards...' He clenched his fist and released a heavy sigh.

"Haa... Let's go, Bai Yue." He silently said.

They walked away to the auction room and noticed the seats almost completely loaded with curious buyers because of a particular healing herb.

--- Yunlong's Vip Room ---

Yunlong casually sat on a couch and looked down at the auction place from his room.

"Well, this is going to be interesting," Yunlong commented with a smirk on his face.

"Xiao Xun, start the auction." He instructed, and his loyal puppet nodded his head.
