Chapter 332: Chapter 165: Holy City Grand Auction Hall_1

Hearing a call from behind, Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu simultaneously turned around. They saw a young man in white casual attire with short golden hair looking over surprisingly.

The young man had a very erect stature, over one meter and ninety centimeters tall, handsome facial features with deep blue eyes, and an aquiline nose. The only shortcoming was his thin lips. His broad shoulders and wide back had an eye-catching impact.

Seeing him, Menglu was slightly taken aback, but the next moment, a smile broke out on her face. "Brother Zeyu, long time no see!"

Shi Zeyu quickly walked up and looked at Ling Menglu with a smile, "You have really grown into a young lady. I heard that your cohort got admitted to the demon hunting team, is that true?"

Ling Menglu nodded and said, "Yes. Brother Zeyu, let me introduce you, this is my cousin Long Dangdang, he’s also a knight. Dangdang, Brother Zeyu is our senior, a protector knight and a Spirit Furnace Academy graduate."

Shi Zeyu looked somewhat surprised at Long Dangdang and said, "Hi, nice to meet you. Menglu, I don’t remember you having this particular cousin!"

Ling Menglu responded, "Dangdang is my sixth aunt’s son. She married far away, and they didn’t use to live in the Holy City."

At this moment, Long Dangdang also nodded to Shi Zeyu, "Nice to meet you, Brother Shi."

Shi Zeyu smiled, "Do you guys mind sharing what do you aim to bid on?"

Ling Menglu replied, "We can’t tell you that, what if you outbid us?"

Shi Zeyu chuckled, "How could I do that? Whatever you want, I’ll bid on it and gift it to you."

Ling Menglu shook her head, "No need. All I want is for you not to compete with us. You’re very well-off, don’t bully us siblings!"

Shi Zeyu laughed and shook his head, "Let’s go in, we shouldn’t block the gate. Menglu, we should catch up when you have time. I’ve missed you. Uncle Feng used to bring you often to our house when we were kids."

Ling Menglu interjected, "You need to stop making things up! My mom would certainly disapprove. We only went twice and that too for official business!"

Shi Zeyu laughed again, "Don’t worry. My aunt has given up on Uncle Feng a long time ago."

It seems like there’s some history between Shi Zeyu’s family and my grandfather’s family, Long Dangdang thought to himself. At the same time, he could see the eagerness in Shi Zeyu’s eyes when he looked at his cousin.

As they were speaking, the trio walked into the auction venue. The first sight was a massive hall, decorated lavishly with gold and shimmering crystals. Entering there, you immediately felt like stepping into another world.

"Would you like to join me in my private booth?" Shi Zeyu asked.

Ling Menglu shook her head, "No need, we won’t bother you, Brother Zeyu."

Shi Zeyu added, "By the way, since you’ve made the demon hunting team, you should have a Seed Spirit Crystal, right? We should become friends. Our team has recently been promoted to the General Class demon hunting team, which grants us increased permissions, like adding individual friends instead of group chats. Although it still only works when we’re in the same city, it’s much simpler."

Ling Menglu smiled, "Congratulations on your team’s promotion, Brother Zeyu. However, we haven’t yet received our Seed Spirit Crystal. When we get it, then sure. Besides, even after we receive it, our team will still be at the lower rank of the demon hunting team, so we likely won’t have the permission to add friends. We can’t even join the same chatroom because our levels aren’t the same."

"Oh, how could I forget that?" Shi Zeyu slapped himself on the forehead, "Alright then, we can join up after the auction."

After Shi Zeyu left, Ling Menglu took Long Dangdang through a door on the left into the auctions’ interior. Following the hallway about fifty meters to the left, they stopped in front of a large pair of golden double doors with "VIP ROOM 1" written on them.

"This is the auction room that my dad usually uses. I asked him today to let us use it." Ling Menglu opened the door and went in, with Long Dangdang following her in.

The lighting in the room was a bit dim, but the entire front wall was made of a transparent glass material which gave a clear view of the outside scenery. Outside, there was a huge space, similar to a stadium, with rows of seats encircling the central high platform.

There was a comfortable genuine leather couch, a coffee table, a bathroom, and some facilities emitting elemental fluctuations that Long Dangdang didn’t recognize. A plush carpet covered the floor, while wall lamps around the room emitted a faint light.

Ling Menglu and Long Dangdang sat down on the couch, with a variety of snacks, melons, fruits, and drinks already set out on the coffee table.

"That’s the main auction house inside. We can directly bid from this VIP room, and our room number won’t be displayed. The high platform is the auction stand, where the host will explain the auction items, one by one. The item goes to the highest bidder. The VIP card my dad gave you can give you a twenty percent discount on auction prices, which is the lowest discount."

Long Dangdang nodded, "Since we’re this far away, what if we can’t see clearly?"

Ling Menglu pointed at the massive glass wall in front of them, "Once the auction starts, a projection from the magic array formation will appear on our side of the glass wall, presenting the auction item clearly. We can also clearly hear the auctioneer’s voice. Of course, we can also choose to isolate it. Don’t worry, the VIP room definitely offers the best experience."

Long Dangdang smiled, "Then I’m lucky to be with you. By the way, how well does that gentleman know my grandfather’s family?"
