C162
A large and exciting auction finally ended. Although there were only around a hundred people who had some results, the vast majority of the audience were filled with excitement from the crazed manner in which they bid.
Lee Xun left the venue and walked along the VIP entrance. He did not see Duanmu Ruoxue and the other two girls, hence he stopped and waited, because the four girls would not leave without him.
People slowly walked out from the VIP entrance, some of them even recognized Yu Sen and the others and started to warmly greet them. Without exception, they all looked at him a few times, but what followed after was either amusement or disappointment. Although these people's small movements were extremely secretive, Lee Xun could clearly feel them all. Lee Xun happily discovered that all of this information was coming from the Netherworld Ice Spiritual Element Pearl in his body. This was truly extraordinary, to the point where he could immediately grasp onto the slightest change in Heaven Rank Rankers's feelings. It would be way too convenient for him in the future.
Before long, Duanmu Ruoxue and the four girls walked out, Shangguan Jing'er's face was filled with worry.
"Jing'er, bought it?" Mo Lin asked in concern.
Shangguan Jing'er did not say anything, and only nodded slightly. Although she had bought the ancestral treasure "Nine Phoenix Descending Heavens Bow", Shangguan Jing'er was clearly unhappy, and the worry on her face confirmed Mo Lin's words. Her Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce was going to face a great calamity.
"Meiji, come back with me today. You have already left my side for a day." Bao Wei said.
"Bao Wei, why are you like this? Didn't you see that Jing'er was just reunited with us today? Let me tell you, you are not to look for Meiji within the next five days, we four sisters must properly gather. " Princess Xixi said in a domineering tone.
"Xixi, Meiji is my fiancee. We will be married in a few days' time, what right do you have to care about our matters?" Bao Wei said somewhat angrily.
"Just because Meiji is our big sister and this place is our Rotterdam, do you believe that I can immediately have someone drive you out of the Rotterdam?" The Princess Xixi said indifferently, her beautiful face smiling. However, those who were familiar with her knew that Princess Xixi dared to say that. In the past, there were many princes from other nations that had been chased out of the Rotterdam by her.
"Bao Wei, you can go back today. In the next few days, let us four sisters gather together. It's unknown when we'll get the chance to do that again, okay?" Princess Meiji said gently.
Although Han Meiji's tone was soft and his expression was somewhat intimate, Bao Wei still felt that it was strange. Since when had Han Meiji ever treated him like this, it was already good that he didn't have a cold face. However, he was unable to prove anything, so he could only nod his head and agree. After all, there were still Lee Xun, Yu Sen, and Mo Lin here. If a man still had to display his manliness, wouldn't he be laughed at?
"Ruoxue, let us send you back to the Jiakesi Academy." Yu Sen said.
"There's no need. The safety of the four of us in Rotterdam will not be a problem, and with Lee Xun here, he will definitely protect us well." Duanmu Ruoxue used those beautiful eyes that were filled with tender emotions to look at Lee Xun.
Seeing that, Lee Xun laughed: "Yu Sen, the four of them will be taken care of by others, there is no need for us to worry."
Yu Sen wasn't angry at the moment either, because to him, the love Duanmu Ruoxue had for Lee Xun would vanish like smoke in thin air when Lee Xun's wife arrived. At that time, as long as he could grab hold of this opportunity and confess to her when she was at the most hurt, the success rate would be extremely high. Thinking of this, Yu Sen's face revealed a proud look, and he said: "That's right, in a while, the sky will also brighten, and we will not have to do much anymore."
As such, everyone dispersed.
On top of the carriage in Princess Xixi, Lee Xun chose a corner outside, and closed his eyes to focus. Being in such a narrow space with four top quality beauties, Lee Xun still felt a tiny bit of pressure, especially when he was staring at himself. Princess Xixi was not a cultivator, when they left the competition grounds, he was in good spirits, but once they got on the carriage, he yawned and continued to beat them, then leaned on Han Meiji's shoulder and quickly fell asleep. Han Meiji also closed his eyes and chose to rest. In the end, only Shangguan Jing'er remained. Her brows were tightly knitted, and her charming face was slightly haggard.
Even though he was resting with his eyes closed, Lee Xun did not let down his vigilance towards his surroundings. Not to mention whether or not there would be people who would want to beat up these four proud girls, even the "Nine Phoenix Descending Heavens Bow" on Shangguan Jing'er's body might be robbed. From the start of the carriage, Lee Xun had noticed, other than the group of people who were originally protecting Princess Xixi in secret, there was now another group of people. The two groups of people had a tacit understanding with each other and did not disturb each other, so Lee Xun guessed that the new person who had appeared should be here to protect Shangguan Jing'er.
Half an hour later, Lee Xun suddenly realised that at a dead end three hundred meters to the left, an old man along with a six or seven year old child were being attacked by four people. After encountering this kind of situation, it was impossible for Lee Xun to not care about it.
"I'll leave for a moment. All of you, wait for me at the same place and come back soon." After throwing those words, Lee Xun jumped off the carriage and ran towards the dead end alone.
"Old thing, obediently hand over the Spatial Ring in your hands. We can spare your little life, otherwise, if we kill all of you, we'll still be able to obtain your Spatial Ring."
"How exactly did you find us?" The old man was already wounded in many places, and blood was still trickling from the corner of his mouth. Beside him, a young boy's eyes were wide open. There wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Hahahaha, I'm fine telling you, but do you remember that after you bought that 'chrysanthemum flower', and went to the backstage of the Wan's Chamber of Commerce Auction House, there was a person who fell down in front of you? I am that person, and it was when you helped me up that I put some incense on you. "Even though you disguised yourself and left, we still used the incense to find your residence." After saying that, the four middle-aged men all burst into laughter.
"Young Master Lin Lei, this old servant has let you down. The old man regretted his words.
Although there was a fragrant scent, humans could not smell it. Only Scented Birds could smell it, trained Scented Birds could be used to track it. That man in white was extremely skilled. He had used the opportunity of the old man's benevolent heart to make things difficult for him. This was because when people thought of something, their vigilance was the worst.
"Grandpa Maguire, I can't blame you. These people are too despicable." This boy called Lin Lei also had two teardrops growing on his face. Although it was still very young, to be able to say such words, it was clear that the child's intelligence was extremely high.
"Boss, why are you still spouting nonsense? Just kill them and end this once and for all."
However, after this person finished speaking, they did not make a move.
Just as the old man and the child were in deep despair, a figure slowly walked out from behind the four of them. The figure was naturally Lee Xun, and when the old man asked a question, had already arrived.
"They are dead. You are safe now. Leave quickly." Lee Xun said.
"Why did you save us?" the old man asked.
"I wasn't used to people bullying the elderly and children, but after hearing your conversation, I have another reason to save you. I was the one who auctioned that 'Goldflower Camellia'."
The old man spat out a large mouthful of blood, his strength dropping from the Eleventh Rank to the ninth stage in an instant.
The little boy cried anxiously, "Grandpa Maguire, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Lin Lei. "
"Young Master Lin Lei, let me speak with this expert first." The old man patted Lin Lei's head, then took off the Spatial Ring in his hands, knelt on the ground and said to Lee Xun: "Innate, this Spatial Ring contains the 'Goldflower Tea Chrysanthemum', and the nearly five hundred million purple gold coins left behind by the Lin Family, please accept it as the fee to guide Young Master Lin Lei to maturity."
When Lee Xun arrived here, he had already realised that the old man had used a secret technique to forcefully increase his strength, and because he had overdrawn his life force, he did not have much time left to live.
"Why are you telling me all of this? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you after you take this fortune?"
"Hehe, to be able to take out four high rank Spiritual Treasure s, I think you would be disdainful to do such a thing." The old man said confidently.
"Is there anyone else in your Lin Family's Rotterdam that I can send over?"
"I dare not lie to experts, the Lin Family has already been defeated more than a hundred years ago. Three years ago, when Young Master and Young Madam were hunting the Soul Sword, they both died, and until now, only the old servant and little young master Lin Lei remain. However, this old servant will also be leaving first. I hope that the strong can help the Lin Family preserve this last bit of bloodline. " With that, the old man knelt down and kowtowed to Lee Xun.
Lee Xun anxiously went forward to stop him, and said: "Don't worry, I will let him grow up safely." The old man trusted him so much that even in his last moments, Lee Xun was still moved and immediately agreed.
Seeing that Lee Xun had agreed, the old man's eyes revealed relief and gratification, and said: "Thank you very much." Then, he turned to Lin Lei and said: "Young Master Lin Lei, this old servant will be leaving you. In the future, you must listen to this expert's words.
Under Lin Lei's sorrowful cries, the old man died peacefully.
"Lin Lei, come with me. We will bury your Grandfather Maguire first."
Hearing Lee Xun's words, little Lin Lei nodded her head obediently. Thus, Lee Xun kept Ma Kui's body into the Spatial Ring and carried Lin Lei as he ran towards the carriage. Returning to the carriage, the four women saw that Lee Xun had brought back a little boy and couldn't help but want to ask. However, when they saw Lee Xun shake his head, they did not say anything. Little Lin Lei sat beside Lee Xun. His eyes were filled with anger and sadness, but he quickly leaned on Lee Xun and fell asleep.
When he returned to the villa by the lake in Jiakesi Academy, the sky was already bright. Lee Xun carried Little Lin Lei in and said softly, "Arrange a room for this child and tell him what you want to know."
Duanmu Ruoxue said: "Let him sleep in my room first."
Lee Xun nodded. After they settled down Little Lin Lei, the five of them went to the living room, and Lee Xun told them everything that had happened before.
"Lee Xun, how do you plan to take care of this child?" Duanmu Ruoxue asked.
"Since I promised the old man that I would bring Lin Lei up as a genius, I naturally had to do it. But now I have a lot to do, and it's inconvenient for me to take him along. And I can see that this child has an extraordinary bone and is extremely intelligent. He is definitely a cultivation genius, so I need to find a place where he can cultivate in peace. "
"Lee Xun, I think we should just leave him in the Jiakesi Academy and live with us normally. Tomorrow, I will help him complete the registration formalities. Even if you're not here, there's still someone from my Duanmu Clan who can guide him. In a few days, Elder Bian and Elder Liu would probably come as well. I could also ask them to personally teach Lin Lei. You can take care of your business in peace. "
It had to be said that Duanmu Ruoxue had thought it through thoroughly, and even Lee Xun was unable to think of a better way, so he said: "We'll do as you say."
"Okay, I will do it myself. Lee Xun, you should take care of your own rest as well. Duanmu Ruoxue said gently. Although she knew that Lee Xun would definitely win easily, she still couldn't help but worry for him.
"Hehe, no matter how I look at it, you two look like an old couple. they just don't put us in their eyes at all, and ignore us. " Princess Xixi laughed coquettishly.
Duanmu Ruoxue's beautiful face immediately turned red, and she glared at Princess Xixi with an angry look.
"I can't sleep. Are you guys hungry? I'll go make breakfast now." Shangguan Jing'er asked.
"Originally, I wanted to go and get some beauty sleep. Since Jing'er wants to make breakfast, then I will go and sleep after eating." Princess Xixi said.
Han Meiji also laughed: "It's been so long since I last tasted Jing'er's cooking, I really miss it. I'll go rest after I eat breakfast as well."
"I forgot to ask you guys, where is the tomb in Rotterdam? I want to bury that old man first."
"There's a tomb within the Jiakesi Academy, and those buried are the people who our Duanmu Clan sacrificed in the war. With how loyal this old man is, I presume those who have been buried within the tomb would be willing to accept him."
Lee Xun felt that this was good too. In the future, if Lin Lei wanted to live in the Jiakesi Academy to pay respects to Ma Kui, it would be extremely convenient too.
He had already arrived at the Jiakesi Academy the night before yesterday. However, aside from staying at the villa by the lake, Lee Xun did not turn around inside the Jiakesi Academy anymore. It was only after following Duanmu Ruoxue around that he realized that the Jiakesi Academy was actually quite large. At the same time, all of the students on the way all turned to look at him, and then whispered, guessing at Lee Xun's identity, and his relationship with him, many of them came to a conclusion, that he and Duanmu Ruoxue was a pair. Lee Xun felt extremely wronged.
Arriving at the tomb within Jiakesi Academy, an old man immediately ran over and greeted respectfully, "Welcome, Miss Sun."
"Elder Wu, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Ruoxue."
"A gift cannot be wasted. Is Miss Sun here to pay her respects?"
"Mm. Help me prepare it, and also arrange for a coffin. We need to bury a respectable old man."
