However, he has a lot of things to deal with, so... he doesn't have time to waste with Jun Zichen, the noble young man!

"Is it really that serious? Isn't it just the royal family of the Burt Empire? Is it really necessary for you to be so frightened that your family has to prepare a retreat?" Jun Zichen said quietly behind An Ran, "If you wish, our King's Mansion can definitely keep you and your family safe!"

"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it!" An Ran said calmly, "But our family can thrive without anyone's help!"

After learning about the history of the An family at a very young age, An Ran swore that he would never let his family become an appendage of any other family. He wanted to make his family strong and not be coerced by any other family!

She jumped onto the bat's back without any hesitation and headed towards her hometown!

When she saw the familiar city, the smile on An Jia's face became more and more intense. He hadn't been back for almost a year, and her father and mother must be missing him very much now!

When An Ran returned home, she couldn't find her father. It turned out that her father had gone to Baicheng to do something. After An Ran talked to her mother for a while, she got up to look for her father!

When the old housekeeper saw An Ran was about to leave, he hurriedly called out, "Miss, where are you going?"

An Ran turned around and waved, "I need to find my father urgently. I'll go to Baicheng to find him now!"

After An Ran finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house. The old housekeeper stood at the door and watched An Ran's departing back, feeling very relieved. The eldest daughter finally grew up, had her own opinions, and was willing to leave her room and see the outside world. She no longer wanted to be like before at home, where she locked herself in her room all day because of laziness!

Thinking of how An Ran had almost never left her yard since she was a child, and had lived lazily in her yard all day long, the old housekeeper burst into tears!

An Ran went to Baicheng without delay. She was so eager to see her father that she forgot to ask where her father had gone. When she was on the streets of Baicheng, An Ran realized belatedly that she had not asked where her father had gone.

An Ran smiled and wondered what was wrong with her these days. She really wasn't herself anymore. Looking at the crowded crowd in front of her, An Ran thought for a moment. The housekeeper did explain one thing clearly. Her father would stay in Baicheng tonight and must be staying in a hotel. There were only four or five hotels in Baicheng, so it wouldn't be difficult to find one. She could just ask when the time came.

An Ran made up her mind and thought of something she had prepared, the sound transmission jade pendant. This time she went out, she might as well buy it. Father, mother, and her brother would also need it...

An Ran thought about it and went to the auction house. If you were to ask where this kind of thing would appear, you would not find it anywhere else except the auction house.

Entering the auction house, someone immediately came to greet them. However, when the waiter saw An Ran was alone, he asked, "Young man, you are not allowed to visit here."

An Ran's black eyes swept over. Wherever she went, she looked down on others. "I know what to do here very well. Get out of the way."

The waiter was stunned, and he also realized that An Ran was not someone to be trifled with, so he could only move aside in disappointment, looking at An Ran with squinted eyes, and said in his heart: Damn, why are you pretending!

When I walked to the auction house counter, the receptionist smiled sweetly, "Sir, do you have a VIP card?"

An Ran was stunned. The receptionist smiled and patiently explained to her, "A VIP card allows guests to preview the auction items, have priority bidding privileges, and access a dedicated VIP room to ensure guests' comfort during the auction. Naturally, they can also receive some price discounts."

An Ran nodded, and the receptionist said with a smile, "Would you like to apply for a VIP card? If not, please go to the side aisle. The next auction will begin soon."

An Ran glanced at the receptionist and asked, "Is there a price for the VIP card?"

The auction houses on this continent are all interconnected, which means that if An Ran applies for a VIP card here, she will enjoy VIP treatment at all auction houses on the vast continent. Of course, this also varies from place to place, but generally speaking, this is a very convenient thing. An Ran felt that she still needed this.

"As long as the customer bids more than one thousand mid-level ores to purchase an item from the auction house, a VIP card will naturally be issued for them." The receptionist smiled incredibly sweetly, her lips curled in a smile. One hundred thousand gold coins? That price is way too high. Aside from the bigwigs in the Mercenary Guild, no one else could possibly afford it.

It's a pity that dragons are naturally fond of shiny things, and his descendant, the divine beast Qilin is no exception. In the secret realm of the Apocalypse Mountains, pairs of gold coins were abandoned in the castle and the passages inside. It is no exaggeration to say that the secret realm is almost paved with gold coins!

Ever since An Ran entered the secret realm of the Apocalypse Mountains, they had swept up all the gold coins in the secret realm. Now... he really didn't lack these gold coins...

"I understand." An Ran nodded. "If I pay the price in advance, will this VIP card be mine?"

The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then smiled an unusually professional smile. "According to common sense, this is feasible, sir."

An Ran turned her wrist and took out the gold coin card she had applied for in the imperial capital and placed it in front of the receptionist. "Go ahead and swipe it!"

The receptionist smiled professionally and took An Ran's gold card from his hand. But when he saw the amount on the card, his eyes lit up, his mouth widened slightly, and he was speechless.

The receptionist finally regained her composure and looked at An Ran with shining eyes. "Dear guest, please wait a moment!"

The receptionist threw a gift toward the facade of the auction house. An Ran stood there. A moment later, a man hurried out from inside. The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked somewhat intellectual. The receptionist pointed at An Ran and whispered something. The man immediately came over with a fawning look on his face, rubbing his hands and smiling. "Hello, distinguished guest. I am Li Jiefu, the president of this auction house. How may I help you?"

An Ran smiled and said, "I need a sound transmission jade pendant. Do you have one here?"

Li Jiefu's face was filled with smiles. "Please follow me, sir. The auction that just took place has exactly what you need!" (To be continued.)
