After resolving the matter with Xiao Jialong and the others, Mu Ruxing conveyed Lu Yuan's apologies to the surrounding guests and made appropriate compensation.

This caused those who had initially been critical of the matter to suddenly begin praising the mythical beast auction house with great delight.

No one can resist the temptation of food exclusive to one's bloodline.

Lu Yuan returned to the private room on the second floor and described what had just happened to the Zhu siblings.

"That's how it is. The Zhao family shouldn't bother you anymore. Go back with peace of mind."

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the siblings exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of surprise and expectation.

The fact that the Divine Beast Auction House can auction off such precious items as cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts shows that Lu Yuan's identity is definitely extraordinary.

only.

They had no idea that Mu Ruxing would actually be a ninth-level expert in the Heavenly Evolution Realm.

But in reality...

Mu Ruxing's previous beast-taming level was only the eighth level of the Heavenly Evolution. It was only after Lu Yuan helped the Sky Python undergo the Mythical Baptism that her level was raised to the ninth level.

"Then let's head back. Now that things are over, let's take this opportunity to renovate the hotel. When it reopens, Ah Yuan, remember to come!"

Zhu Jiayi knew that she and her brother owed Lu Yuan far too much, and no amount of thank you could express her gratitude. She could only try to find other ways to thank Lu Yuan.

"Okay, then I'll have Lao Mu take you two back first."

...

The next day.

Lu Yuan yawned as he walked out of the room and bumped into Mu Ruxing, who was about to leave.

"Good morning, Lao Mu! Are you getting ready to leave now?"

"Yes! It'll be easier to finish the repairs quickly so I don't have to worry about anything else. I'm afraid that other unexpected things might happen and delay the auction on Sunday," Mu Ruxing said with a smile.

Although the Wind Shadow Dragon blocked most of the attacks from the Dark Giant Lizard yesterday, nearby buildings were still affected, and many places were damaged.

With some time still remaining before the next auction, Mu Ruxing planned to quickly restore it.

Seeing Mu Ruxing working so diligently, Lu Yuan grinned sheepishly.

What should I do if my subordinates are too diligent in their work?

It made him, the boss, feel embarrassed to slack off!

After exchanging a few words, Mu Ruxing went out, while Lu Yuan accepted the breakfast that Zheng Meng had brought and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Just as I was about to swallow the last mouthful of soy milk, an unexpected old friend suddenly visited.

"Old Lu, we're back!"

"puff!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lu Yuan couldn't help but spit out the soy milk in his mouth.

"Cough cough cough!"

Lu Yuan quickly took the tissue Zheng Meng handed him and wiped his mouth, then looked at Yang Lin with a hint of resentment.

"Hey Captain Yang, could you please stop calling me that? I'm still young. People who don't know better might think we're the same age!"

"Hahaha! It just sounds natural to call him that!" Yang Lin led Zhou Cheng and the others into the shop.

"No way! Why don't you just call me Xiao Lu?" Lu Yuan waved his hand with a smile, then asked, "Is your mission finally over?"

As soon as he said it, Lu Yuan realized he had asked a pointless question.

If that good-for-nothing Zhao Hun was able to attend the auction last night, then the punitive mission must have ended, and it's normal for Yang Lin and the others to return.

really.

After listening to Lu Yuan's question, Yang Lin smiled and nodded.

"The current campaign is indeed over, but the situation in the surrounding forests is far worse than we imagined. We won't be able to stay for more than a few days before we have to move on to a new campaign."

"What's going on? Have other high-level monsters appeared in the surrounding forests?" Lu Yuan asked, frowning.

"It's still unclear." Yang Lin shook his head. "The various teams suffered heavy losses in this expedition and were unable to penetrate deep into the forest, so we haven't been able to figure out what happened."

At this point, Zhou Cheng, who was standing next to him, chimed in.

"We brothers were able to return safely thanks to Brother Lu for sending that box of medical supplies. Otherwise, even if we hadn't died on this mission, we would definitely have been seriously injured."

"That's right, that's right! We really have to thank Xiao Lu!" Du Pengyi chimed in from the side.

They never expected that the box of low-grade healing potions that Lu Yuan gave them would be so effective, even comparable to high-grade healing potions.

The fact that everyone in their squad was able to return alive from the raid was largely thanks to that box of healing potions!

In response to this.

Lu Yuan chuckled.

“We’ve been through thick and thin together, I’m so glad this medicine can help.”

Yang Lin and the others were already grateful to Lu Yuan, and now, hearing Lu Yuan say this, the grown men were almost moved to tears.

Just then.

Suddenly, a group of fully armed men burst in from outside.

Who is Lu Yuan?

The man in the lead looked around the store and seemed somewhat surprised when he saw Yang Lin and his group.

"Captain Yang, what are you doing here?"

Yang Lin turned around and frowned subconsciously.

"Chuangzi, what's with this commotion? What do you want with Lu Yuan?"

Liu Chuang gave Yang Lin a deep look, then said truthfully, "Someone reported that Lu Yuan was summoning beasts to fight in Yandu City. We need to take him back for investigation."

Upon hearing this, Yang Lin turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"What happened?"

Lu Yuan shrugged and briefly recounted what had happened at the auction the previous night to Yang Lin and the others.

"Those damned bastards from the Zhao family deserve it! They actually dared to openly smash up a hotel and abduct women. Did they really think Xiao Jialong was omnipotent and could cover up their messes?!" Zhou Cheng was the first to lose his temper and cursed loudly.

Yang Lin pondered for a moment.

“Xiao Lu has a permit to summon beasts; you cannot take him away.”

After saying that.

Yang Lin gave Lu Yuan a look.

Lu Yuan immediately understood, took out the token he had received from Yang Lin earlier, and held it out to Liu Chuang.

But Liu Chuang didn't even glance at it, he just looked at Lu Yuan to confirm.

"So you're Lu Yuan?"

Lu Yuan frowned, but still nodded truthfully.

"That's right, I am Lu Yuan."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Liu Chuang waved to the team members behind him, and several fully armed team members immediately stepped forward to subdue Lu Yuan.

Yang Lin and the others immediately assumed a defensive stance, blocking Lu Yuan's way.

"Liu Chuang, what do you mean?!"

Yang Lin narrowed his eyes, and a sense of oppression pressed directly towards Liu Chuang.

Du Pengyi and the others also looked displeased, tightly protecting Lu Yuan behind them, as if they would directly attack if Liu Chuang dared to touch Lu Yuan.

Upon seeing this.

Liu Chuang dared not make any rash moves.

Yang Lin and his men were a special armed squad responsible for going out to fight, completely different from the patrol team that maintained order in Yandu. Their combat power was incomparable.

But when he thought of the orders he had received from his superiors, Liu Chuang looked troubled.

"Captain Yang, I was just following orders, please don't make things difficult for me!"
