After leaving the reception room, Lu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered.
Dragon Academy?
As far as he knows.
Dragon Academy is the highest-level academy in the Ling'an Continent, gathering genius beast tamers from all over the country.
Moreover, any prestigious and wealthy family will do everything they can to get their children into Longteng Academy.
all in all.
The students at Longteng Academy are either geniuses or come from prominent families.
In the entire Cloud Thunder City, perhaps only Loris is qualified to study at Dragon Soaring Academy.
However, if given the chance, he wouldn't mind visiting Dragon Academy.
...
After the auction ended.
Lore returned to the city lord's mansion by carriage.
As soon as I got out of the car, the butler came to report the news.
"Sir, two guests have arrived from the capital and are waiting for you in the reception room."
Lore was startled.
"From the capital? What brings you here?"
The butler hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It seems to be related to the auction you attended tonight."
"Mythical Beast Auction House?"
Lore frowned, deep in thought.
It seems the auction items at the Divine Beast Auction House were so amazing that the news has even reached the capital.
"Where is she? Take me there quickly!"
Lore hurriedly followed the butler to the reception room, where he saw two men, one old and one young, sitting on the sofa with their eyes closed, resting.
The older middle-aged man had slightly graying temples, a calm demeanor, and a hint of sharpness between his brows.
You can tell at a glance that he is someone of extraordinary status.
Lore quickly stepped forward, extended his hand to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile, "Hello, I apologize for not greeting you properly since you've come from afar. May I ask how I should address you both?"
Until then.
The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced down at Lorelei's hand, gave it a light, casual squeeze, and then replied, "We are from the Lu family in the capital. My name is Lu Ming, and this is my assistant."
Upon hearing this...
Lore was terrified.
The Lu family is the head of the four major families in the capital, with immense power.
It is said that there is a god-level elder in the clan who is just one step away from becoming a true god!
Such strength is not something a mere city lord like him can afford to offend.
"May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Lu?" Luo Lei asked with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of respect.
"I heard that Lord Luo is attending an auction tonight?"
Instead of answering Luo Lei's question, Lu Ming asked a different question.
“That’s right.” Lore nodded.
"Is it being held by the legendary mythical beast auction house that's been making headlines lately?"
"Yes."
Lore answered truthfully, his heart filled with surprise and doubt.
I never expected they actually came for the mythical beast auction!
The auction had only been held twice when the Lu family sent people over. As expected of the head of the four major families, they are indeed very powerful and well-informed.
"What items were auctioned tonight? Was the legendary divine beast's blood essence real?"
Luo Lei answered Lu Ming's series of questions truthfully.
After all, these aren't secrets; you can find out by asking anyone.
But when Lu Ming asked who the owner of the Divine Beast Auction House was, Luo Lei fell silent.
"What? Doesn't Lord Luo know?"
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, and his aura instantly became sharp.
Lore was immediately alarmed, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
But he only replied, "I only know that the owner's surname is Lu and that he is a very young-looking young man. That's all I know."
He wasn't lying!
Lu Yuan has never revealed his real name to outsiders; most people refer to him as Boss Lu or Store Manager Lu.
Some people don't even know that the Divine Beast Pavilion is Lu Yuan's business.
I thought there was some kind of business partnership between the Divine Beast Auction House and the Divine Beast Pavilion, which is why they recommended customers to buy pet food from the Divine Beast Pavilion.
certainly.
Most of them are intelligent people.
What can you imagine just from their similar names?
But he couldn't say those words out loud.
Judging from the cubs and divine beast essences auctioned in these two auctions, Lu Yuan must be of extraordinary status.
Despite the Lu family's immense power, he didn't want to offend Lu Yuan in order to curry favor with them.
The Lu family... Lu Yuan...
They all share the surname Lu?
Lore frowned.
He then shook his head to himself.
It's probably just a coincidence.
If Lu Yuan really is from the Lu family in the capital, why would they send someone to investigate?
Lu Ming also noticed that the two had the same surname.
He immediately thought of Lu Yuan, who had been expelled from the Lu family by the Elders' Council and sent to Yunlei City to take over the Wanshouge branch.
impossible.
He rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.
When Lu Yuan left the capital, he not only failed to awaken his beast-taming talent, but his lifespan was also coming to an end, making it impossible for him to create a divine beast auction house.
not to mention.
With Lu Yuan's strength, he simply couldn't raise a pet cub of Earth Spirit level, let alone produce the precious essence blood of a divine beast.
Having figured this out, Lu Ming stopped dwelling on it and looked up at Luo Lei.
"I heard that the auction is only held once a week. We'll probably have to stay in Yunlei City for a few more days. I wonder if the City Lord's Mansion has any rooms available?"
Lore quickly nodded and said with a smile, "Of course! I'll have someone tidy it up right now, and you two can stay as long as you like."
...
at the same time.
Inside the Divine Beast Pavilion, Lu Yuan returned to his room.
Because he was worried that the Divine Pavilion would be discovered by the capital, he hadn't returned to the villa recently, but instead lived and ate at the Divine Beast Pavilion.
Just to be on the safe side.
Uncle Fu transferred two teams of men from the Divine Pavilion to lie in ambush around the Divine Beast Pavilion, specifically to protect his safety.
"Young Master, we have made a major discovery."
Just as Lu Yuan was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, Uncle Fu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Come in and talk."
After receiving permission, Uncle Fu stepped into the house and handed a document to Lu Yuan.
"Yang Baiming's team discovered a secret realm in the Black Forest."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, took the document, and read it carefully.
The Black Forest is a notoriously dangerous place on the continent of Ling'an, but along with the danger comes opportunity and treasure.
A week ago, Yang Baiming accepted the mission to explore the Black Forest and led his team there.
I didn't expect the news to come back so quickly, and it's about the secret realm.
"The secret realm is expected to open in ten days. At that time, various forces will definitely go there. Should we send two more teams to the Black Forest?"
Uncle Fu spoke in a serious tone and with a solemn expression.
This is because unexplored secret realms are rare encounters, and their emergence is sure to bring treasures!
At that time.
In the struggle for treasures, conflicts between various factions are inevitable, and even murder and robbery are not uncommon.
Sending more people can ensure the safety of the members and also increase the chances of finding the treasure.
However.
Lu Yuan waved his hand, "No need."
Uncle Fu had some doubts, but couldn't help but advise, "Young Master, the Divine Pavilion has only been established for a short time and is not as well-established as other forces. If we can find one or two treasures in the secret realm, it will enrich the pavilion's treasury."
Lu Yuan naturally understood the meaning behind his words, but simply said:
"I will go there in person in ten days."
