Chapter 192 The Mysterious Girl Xue Qingci
[ps: Xue Qingci image]
Facts proved that Lin Yun was overthinking.
With Lin Yun and Ma Xiaotao around, Wang Yan didn't have any ideas at all, especially after being confronted by Lin Yun during the meeting two days ago. Wang Yan became even more determined to give up.
Anyway, I have two golden thighs, and they are both stable and reliable. I only earn a little a month, so why should I risk my life?
Then play music and then dance!
After a day of watching the game, Wang Yan returned to his room with a smile on his face, and started reading books on soul master theory.
As for the auction?
What auction? I'm not going!
Ma Xiaotao, a talented inner court disciple, would definitely look down upon soul guides. As for Lin Yun, apart from storage soul guides, Wang Yan had never seen him use any attack-type soul guides.
Well, these two golden thighs are both masters who look down on soul guides. If I propose to go to an auction to buy soul guides to enhance my strength, wouldn’t this simply be giving these two masters another opportunity to confront me?
Moreover, he took the initiative to stretch his face forward for them to hit.
Wang Yan is not that stupid.
In fact, Lin Yun did not really look down on soul guides. If there was a suitable soul guide, such as the eighth-level close-range soul guide Sword of Judgment that Ma Rulong had secretly hidden, Lin Yun would be happy to take it and play with it.
His soul power is enough for him to use the Sword of Judgment normally, and he also needs a soul guide of at least level seven to increase his combat power.
Other soul guides are not as good as his own fists or soul skills. They are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. It doesn’t matter whether he uses them or not.
Of course, Lin Yun still had the invincible shield on him. He took four of the remaining eight invincible shields on Ning Tian, two each for him and Xiao Xiao. The more life-saving things one had, the better.
It can only be said that Wang Yan still doesn’t understand Lin Yun well enough.
He is not some pedantic traditional soul master.
And now that Wang Yan had already started, Lin Yun could only go to the auction alone. Fortunately, the Starlight Auction House had fixed auction sessions every day, and there was only one auction tonight, which was the auction of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife. Lin Yun did not have to worry about finding the wrong auction session.
It doesn’t matter if you really can’t find it. At worst, you can just take the initiative to find someone from Starlight Auction House to buy it after the auction is over.
Because of the curse cast by the Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master, anyone who uses this thing will either die a violent death or degenerate into an evil soul master. Even if it is put up for auction, it will definitely fail to sell because no one will compete for it.
Apart from Alex, who else can see the true nature of the Soul-Devouring Knife at a glance?
After arriving at the Starlight Auction House to verify his assets, Lin Yun walked directly into the auction house wearing the mask provided by the auction house to guests to hide their identity.
The auction had not started yet, but there were already quite a few people sitting in the venue. Lin Yun found a corner and sat down, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes to wait.
Next to Lin Yun, there was a girl who was also wearing a mask, looking at him curiously.
She arrived earlier than Lin Yun. After Lin Yun sat down next to her, she noticed Lin Yun. Originally, the girl thought that Lin Yun had found out her identity from some unknown channel and came to approach her on purpose, but after Lin Yun sat down, he closed his eyes and rested.
He didn't even look at her.
This attracted her attention.
The girl was very confident about her appearance. Even though she was wearing a mask that covered her face, her exquisite figure under her dress and the noble temperament that she vaguely revealed could not be concealed by a small mask.
If Lin Yun kept staring at her, it would definitely make her uncomfortable, but Lin Yun didn't even look at her, which instead aroused her rebellious psychology.
However, the more the girl looked at Lin Yun, the more she felt something was wrong.
This person...
Why does it look so familiar?
The girl looked left and right, and the sense of familiarity in her heart became stronger and stronger, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen Lin Yun.
"Have you seen enough?" The girl's undisguised gaze really made Lin Yun feel a little uncomfortable. He turned to look at the girl and asked in a calm tone.
"Ah!" Lin Yun's sudden voice startled the girl who was deep in thought.
A girl's scream suddenly rang out in the quiet auction hall, attracting the attention of many people around them. Noticing the gazes from all around, the girl quickly covered her mouth and glared at Lin Yun in reproach.
Really, why don’t you just speak properly? Why are you suddenly so scary?
But just at this glance, the girl recognized Lin Yun's identity.
“Are you... the one from Shrek Academy who defeated the Tianling Team with one move?” The girl learned her lesson this time and did not exclaim out loud. She just asked in a low voice with a little excitement.
Lin Yun tilted his head, looking puzzled.
My goodness, I’m not wearing the Shrek Academy uniform and I’m wearing a mask on my face, how can you still recognize me?
The girl is good at martial arts!
In fact, the reason why the girl recognized Lin Yun was very simple. First, it was because of Lin Yun’s iconic golden hair and golden eyes. Second, it was because when she looked at Lin Yun, she felt a sense of fear and submission from her martial soul.
Although her martial soul was inherited from her family, it mutated in her generation. She had never even met a soul master who could suppress her martial soul since she was a child, except for Lin Yun.
When Lin Yun attacked before, the girl experienced the feeling of her martial spirit being suppressed for the first time. This was why she was able to recognize Lin Yun.
The girl's heartbeat began to speed up, and the fear and panic made her breathing a little difficult. But this did not affect her admiration for Lin Yun. As an auxiliary spirit master, she admired those powerful combat spirit masters the most, and among all her peers, Lin Yun's combat power was definitely second to none.
"Hello! I've seen your previous matches. You're very strong. I admire you very much!" There was a bright light flashing in the girl's silver-gray eyes. Under the dim lights of the auction hall, they were as dazzling as the starry sky.
At this time, Lin Yun also saw her features clearly. In addition to her extremely rare silver-gray eyes, her long hair was also silver-gray like her eyes, but slightly lighter than the color of her eyes.
Thinking back to the people he had met in Douluo Continent, Lin Yun found that this was the first time he had seen eyes and hair of this color. If he had really seen the girl in front of him, with such rare eye and hair colors, it would be impossible for him not to have any impression of her.
"Who are you?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
"My name is Xue Qingci, and I'm also a contestant in this competition~" Although Xue Qingci was wearing a mask, her bright eyes were curved into crescents. Even though he couldn't see her entire face, Lin Yun could imagine that the face under the mask was absolutely stunning.
Compared to her smile, even her sweet voice seemed less important.
The voice is sweet and the smile is even sweeter.
Lin Yun was slightly stunned, then nodded and replied, "The contestant from Shrek Academy, Lin Yun."
"Lin Yun, is this your name?" Xue Qingci chirped like a lively lark.
"Yeah." Lin Yun responded casually, but he began to think in his heart.
Snow……
This surname is not common in Douluo Continent. The most representative ones are the Tiandou royal family ten thousand years ago and the Douling royal family today.
The Douling Royal Family is actually the Tiandou Royal Family, but because of their weak strength, they were bullied by people in their own country, so they were forced to split the Tiandou Empire into the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, and they went to the Douling Empire to circle the territory and live on their own.
After all, it’s an avalanche...you have to understand everything.
It's said that he is pretending to be a dandy, but in fact it's probably almost the same as playing his true self. It would be strange if such a loser could manage an empire, especially compared with the Xingluo Empire next door, which is fighting for the throne to the death. The Tiandou Empire is simply too weak.
If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, the Tiandou Empire would have been gone long ago.
Until the time of the Unrivaled Tang Sect in the Douling Empire, the royal Xue family was as weak as ever. In terms of combat power, they were at the bottom of the four empires, and when it came to civil wars and power grabs, they were truly experts among experts.
The civil war in Douluo is a phantom god.
Apart from the Xue family, Lin Yun had never heard of any other family with the surname Xue, not to mention the girl in front of him who called herself Xue Qingci. You could tell she was noble at first glance and she was definitely a young lady who had been raised in wealth since childhood.
When it comes to the temperament of a young lady, which other family can compare with a princess of a country?
Could this girl be the princess of the Douling Empire?
Think about the original work. The Xingluo Empire had Princess Xu Jiujiu, the Tianhun Empire had Princess Vina, but the word "princess" never appeared in the Douling Empire from beginning to end. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to say that Douling has no princess.
Although it was just a guess, Lin Yun felt that he was probably right.
Is it just because Dou Ling is so weak and the other three empires don't like to play with Dou Ling, which leads to the princess in front of us never appearing from beginning to end?
As a result, this Douling Princess who disappeared in the original novel was met by myself at such a small auction?
Lin Yun's expression under the mask gradually became strange.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Xue Qingci tugged at Lin Yun's sleeve with some dissatisfaction. She had just said a lot of things, but Lin Yun just responded with "um" and "ah" to perfunctorily answer her.
When I looked up, I saw that Lin Yun's eyes were unfocused and I didn't know what he was thinking about.
Xue Qingci suddenly felt a little unhappy.
What? Do you think it’s unfair for you to chat with this princess?
hum!
Yes, Lin Yun guessed correctly. The main reason was that the surname Xue was so iconic in Douluo. Coupled with Xue Qingci's noble aura, Lin Yun could easily guess her identity.
And she was indeed the third princess of the Douling Empire, but she died not long after the events in the original novel. The reason for her death was very simple, because someone didn't want her to live.
But that’s all in the past.
