pet cultivator

Chapter 85

Tang Shirong was awakened by the booing in the auction hall.He sat up slowly, rubbed his temples, and finally he was fully awake.

"Are you awake?" Master Li looked back at Tang Shirong, pointed to the hot water on the table, and there was still a hint of a smile in his tone, "Wash your face first, then drink some water, and rest for a while, old man I have something else to ask you."

Tang Shirong stared blankly at Master Li, and now he felt a little scared.

Since the other party already knew about the changes in the imperial capital, but it seems that it has not been spread, and the news of the imperial capital is still blocked.Although the old man claimed that he had no malicious intentions, it was really unreasonable for him to cry and faint on the ground in a moment of excitement.

Of course, judging from the current situation, he was still here, and even when he was in a coma, the other party prepared hot water for him, so there should be no malicious intentions.Tang Shirong wiped off the smudges on his face, secretly thankful, and subconsciously trusted the old gentleman in front of him a little more.

However, Master Li only told Tang Shirong this sentence, and then looked downstairs again.

At this time, there was a burst of warm applause from the hall downstairs, almost toppling the roof of the auction house.However, in this burst of cheers, no matter how you hear it, you feel that there is a hint of schadenfreude?
Mei'er was full of smiles, and shouted loudly: "Okay! This gentleman has finally lived up to everyone's expectations, and the price has increased to 25 gold coins! Are there any VIPs who want to continue to increase the price?"

However, this time, everyone already knew the answer of the person in Box No. [-].And the vicissitudes of life did not disappoint everyone who had watched the show.

"Well, congratulations, you have won." Master Li said through the sound transmission stone.

Laughter immediately resounded throughout the auction hall.Especially those guests sitting around the man in the iron mask, who were terrified by his aura before, laughed the most unscrupulously at this moment.

Li Jin touched his nose and stared at the man in the iron mask.He didn't say a word, snatched the jade box containing the soul beads from the hand of Miss Manners, and left quickly.Thinking about it, his face hidden under the iron mask at this time is still iron blue, right?
There was a light knock on the door, and Zhou Yixuan opened the door of the box after obtaining Master Li's consent, and stood there and bowed: "Master, Xiao Ke is the head of Taiyu Bank, and I am here with friends. null?"

Master Li naturally knew that Zhou Yixuan was coming, because besides the second young master of the Zhou family, there were also Li Jin himself and Li Qinqin outside the door.He glanced sideways at Tang Shirong, nodded and said, "Come in, everyone!"

Zhou Yixuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly led Li Jin and Li Qinqin into the No. [-] box.

Seeing Master Li, Li Qinqin paused for a moment, looked at Li Jin who was beside him with a strange expression, and then understood, with a reproachful smile in his eyes.Well, this is what you said about making money for your wife, but you kept it from me until now.

Li Jin hurriedly made a pitiful look begging for mercy, the little loli snorted softly, turned her head away, and ignored Li Jin.But when she thought of the scene of bidding for the Soul Orb just now, she couldn't help laughing secretly.

Zhou Yixuan first handed the storage bag containing 22 gold coins to Master Li respectfully.Although Taiyu Auction House didn't charge any handling fee for this soul bead auction, it can be said to be an excellent advertisement, and because of this, I got to know Master Li, a "hermit master", which is not a loss.

But Master Li did not take the gold coins, but instead took out a piece of paper prepared in advance: "Please help the old man to replace all the gold coins with these things, as much as there are. If the gold coins are not enough, the old man can also Consider taking out the soul orb and cooperating with the Guibao number again. Hey, I just don’t know if I can meet such a fool who wants to save face next time.”

When Zhou Yixuan heard the old man commenting on the man in the iron mask, his expression became very strange again, and he coughed twice before asking: "Why is the master so sure that the man in the iron mask will continue to increase the price? If he doesn't care about his face and just stops, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" ?”

"If you don't sell the soul orb to him, wouldn't it be possible to sell it?" Master Li laughed and said, "If that person buys the soul orb at such a high price, the old man will naturally take advantage of him. If he just gives up, Thinking about it, the mood wouldn’t be too good, and even if the item returned to the old man in the end, wouldn’t it be sold to Guibao for [-] gold coins? The old man won’t suffer a loss, at most he will only earn a little less.”

Both Li Qinqin and Zhou Yixuan looked suddenly enlightened.Li Qinqin glanced at Li Jin beside him with a strange expression, while Zhou Yixuan looked at Master Li with some admiration, but suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart, it would be great if that idiot didn't shoot and walk back to Yuanzhu, and he could buy it for himself. Get that soul orb.

However, at this time, he forgot that although he didn't buy the soul orb, he had actually achieved his goal of befriending this Master Li.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhou Yixuan was about to introduce Li Jin and Li Qinqin to Master Li in front of him.But Master Li stood up: "The old man still has some urgent matters to deal with, so let's take a step first."

"But—" Zhou Yixuan shouted hastily, why did he leave so soon?However, he couldn't force the other party to stay, so as not to cause the other party's dissatisfaction, and finally had no choice but to say, "After you dare to ask, where can Xiao Ke find you, Master?"

"The old man will come to look for you." Master Li walked out of the private room as he said that. Halfway there, he realized that he had forgotten something. The second young master of the Patriarch of the family, that is the daughter of the Patriarch of the Li family in Tianji City. Tell them everything about you. You don’t need to hide it. It must be good for you. Second young master, please be my husband This friend is looking for a safe place to live, and he must not be discovered by others. Farewell!" After finishing speaking, Master Li walked out of the No. [-] box.

Zhou Yixuan watched Master Li leave, and then looked at Li Qinqin in surprise: "It turns out that Master Li and sister Xiaoqin have known each other for a long time! You are both surnamed Li, could it be..."

"We've only met this old man a few times before, but we don't know his name or where he lives." Seeing that Li Qinqin didn't know how to answer, Li Jin quickly took over the conversation.

He needs to use the identity of "Master Li" to hide some secrets, such as the formula of ten thousand souls condensing beads, such as soul beads, so "Li Jin" and "Master Li" will have some communication.But at the same time, he didn't want "Li Jin" and "Master Li" to have a close relationship so quickly, so as not to be self-defeating.

Zhou Yixuan nodded noncommittally, stopped talking about this issue, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Sister Xiaoqin, where is your little rabbit soul pet? I see it is so clingy to you, didn't you still hug it just now?"

"You mean little gourd? He's a fox, not a rabbit." Li Qinqin explained, "Also, he's actually the soul pet of Xiao Jin's brother, but he just likes to be hugged by me... Well, I like to hug too With a small gourd."

Zhou Yixuan looked at Li Jin in amazement when he heard that, and smiled heartily after a while: "Back then in the dungeon...haha, that's how it is!"

Li Jin touched his nose and smiled faintly at Zhou Yixuan.Zhou Yixuan didn't ask about the whereabouts of the little gourd, thinking that he had already returned to Li Jin's chest, and it was even more impossible for Li Jin to explain to him that the little gourd had left the Taiyu Auction House at this time and followed the puppet Master Li.

Only then did Zhou Yixuan look at Tang Shirong: "Xiao Ke Zhou Yixuan, my father Zhou Ming is in charge of this Taiyu Bank. Since you are a friend of Master Li, if you need help from my Zhou family, please speak up."

Tang Shirong looked at Li Jin and the three in front of him in surprise, feeling a little apprehensive.Among the three of them, Li Qinqin was about seven or eight years old, and Zhou Yixuan looked the oldest, but he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.Although the old man said that they are all of extraordinary status, but do you really want to tell these children these secrets about yourself?

Li Jin naturally saw Tang Shirong's thoughts, and once again affirmed the value of the old man "Master Li".Thinking about it, most of his diplomatic work will be handed over to the spirit puppet in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Jin unconsciously glanced at Zhou Yixuan beside him. After all, the puppet still came from him.Li Jin secretly decided to help the Zhou family as much as possible in order to repay the favor.

Zhou Yixuan was not stupid, so he naturally saw Tang Shirong's scruples, and immediately pulled Li Jin and Li Qinqin together to make a soul oath, promising that unless Tang Shirong allowed it, he would never tell others the secret he heard.

Tang Shirong was heartbroken, knowing that if he wanted to meet the rulers of the Li and Zhou families, this might be an excellent opportunity, so he immediately stood up and bowed to the ground: "My name is Tang Shirong, I am the uncle of the empire, the deceased Empress Tang is my own sister."

"So it's Uncle Guo." Zhou Yixuan hurriedly returned the gift, but was suddenly taken aback, "Dead? The empress has passed away?! When did it happen? We haven't heard any news about the recent national funeral?"

Tang Shirong smiled wryly and shook his head: "Naturally there will be no national mourning recently. Because my sister has passed away for more than six years!"

"Bold!" Zhou Yixuan was stunned again when he heard the words, and then sternly shouted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you curse the royal family and lie to us!" In his opinion, what Tang Shirong said was absolutely absurd. The queen of a country died For six years, his Zhou family didn't know about it. Is it possible?
Tang Shirong still had a wry smile on his face, as if he had known Zhou Yixuan's reaction for a long time, he shook his head and stopped talking.

It was also the first time for Li Jin to hear that the empress of the Hanyun Empire had died, but he was naturally not as surprised as Zhou Yixuan.He turned to look at Li Qinqin: "Sister Xiaoqin, you should avoid it!"

Li Qinqin was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked at Li Jin.But Li Jin nodded at her firmly: "Wait for me in Box No. [-], don't run around, be obedient."

Li Qinqin didn't know when it started, but she was already used to listening to her younger brother. Maybe it was because Li Jin's stature had grown so much recently that he looked more like his older brother?Li Qinqin hesitated for a moment, then nodded obediently, turned and left.

Li Jin turned his head and explained to Zhou Yixuan: "Brother Xuan, please be calm and don't be impatient. Think about it, has the queen ever shown up in the past six years? I think what this uncle Guo is going to say next is probably true. But I don’t want sister Xiaoqin to know now.”

After all, Li Jin took out his Li Family Core Disciple Order, and said to Tang Shirong: "Uncle Guo, I am Li Jin, a Li Family Core Disciple, and the elder of the Li Family is my grandfather. If you agree, you I will tell the family verbatim every word I say. Now, we are all ears."
