In the end, under the attention of everyone, Gu Qingze won the bid with an astonishing price of 200 million demon coins.
In the bustling auction hall, Song Jinnian didn't dare to look at the auction table because of Huo Miao.
But Gu Qingze's movements were so loud that he couldn't help but be curious. He covered his eyes with his hands and then looked carefully through his fingers.
He carefully looked at the girl in the cage for a while, his eyes sparkling, then he turned to look at Chu Lingxiao beside him and patted Chu Lingxiao's shoulder with a smile.
"Brother Lingxiao, you said Brother Qingze wanted that human woman so much, is it because he has a crush on her? Am I going to have a sister-in-law?"
Song Jinnian asked innocently.
When Chu Lingxiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter.
He had always believed in Gu Qingze, and he knew that there must be a reason why Gu Qingze did this, but seeing Gu Qingze rarely show that expression, and feeling the inexplicable familiarity between him and that woman, all of this made Chu Lingxiao feel uncomfortable.
Song Jinnian's unintentional words made this feeling even stronger.
Chu Lingxiao shook his head and tried his best to suppress those negative emotions and not let them burst out.
"That shouldn't be the case. Qingze is just sympathizing with his compatriots. After all, we are all human, so he thinks that if he can help, he should help."
Chu Lingxiao said softly, trying hard to make his emotions appear normal.
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qingze beside him, but found that Gu Qingze seemed to be caught up in another emotion, unable to extricate himself, and did not participate in their conversation at all.
"Oh, is that so? I really don't know anything about relationships, so it's normal if I say something wrong. I hope you two brothers don't mind."
Song Jinnian smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Actually, I also thought Qingze brother sympathized with that human at first, but Qingze brother gave me a different feeling. Of course, it's also possible that I was mistaken."
Chu Lingxiao hesitated to speak, and finally just nodded and fell into silence.
In this way, this strange atmosphere continued until the end of the auction.
"Qingze... the auction is over. Let's go look for Huo Miao. If she's gone, it'll be hard to find her. She's the owner of this auction house. If there's any clues in the auction house, it's likely..."
Chu Lingxiao hesitated for a moment, but still patted Gu Qingze's shoulder gently and reminded him.
"Oh, okay."
Gu Qingze seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He didn't know whether he heard what Chu Lingxiao said or not. He just responded softly.
Then, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, looked at Chu Lingxiao very seriously, and transmitted his voice with spiritual power.
"Ling Xiao, we watched all the content related to 'Three Lives Flower' together. If I wasn't there, you should know how to ask, right?"
“That’s true, but…”
"Please, I need to go check on Ye...that human female in the cage first. I can't accompany you. I believe you can do it alone. Also, please send Song Jinnian away. I want to talk to her alone."
Gu Qingze said this with an apologetic look on his face, and then left quickly, leaving Chu Lingxiao standing there in a daze.
"Qingze..."
Chu Lingxiao calmed down and knew that time waited for no one, so he immediately went to find Hu Miao.
Gu Qingze followed the maid to the enclosed space for picking up the goods. The maid led the way and left, leaving him and the woman in the iron cage staring at each other.
"Ye Li? Classmate Ye Li? English class representative? Qingyang Experimental No. 1 Middle School?"
After he said these words, he began to observe the reaction of the woman in the cage.
But she was only touched by the first word, that is, when she was called "Ye Li". At other times, she looked very confused.
“Hot… so hot… so hot…”
Ye Li was breathing lightly, and looked at him with a dazed look in her eyes.
Fortunately, there was an iron cage separating them, otherwise he had no doubt that Ye Li would pounce on him at any time if he was free.
It turns out that she was given that kind of drug, so there was that abnormal flush on her face just now... Has the drug taken full effect now?
"It's hot...it's hot...help me...please help me."
Seeing that Ye Li was about to tear off the last bit of cloth covering the important parts, Gu Qingze hurriedly spoke.
"Don't worry, I'll help you right away."
Then, he mobilized his spiritual power, which spread to Ye Li's entire body, freezing her into an ice cube.
Ah this?
Oh no! He had only wanted his ice spirit root to stimulate some cold air to make her more awake, but he hadn't expected to overdo it out of nervousness.
But...it's not a big problem.
Gu Qingze used the third move of the "Heavenly Ice Sword Technique" to produce some blue flames, slowly controlling them to thaw her.
After seeing Ye Li thaw out, he shivered from the cold and looked like he had returned to normal.
So Gu Qingze repeated what he had just said, but Ye Li was still confused.
He thought for a moment and said something with an expectant look in his eyes.
If there is any secret code between them, it is only this one.
"Student Ye Li, 73."
Seeing that she was still confused, Gu Qingze was completely disappointed.
She didn't even know the meaning of "73". It seemed that she was not the Ye Li she knew...
