Chapter 149: The Rules of the Royal Auction House, Qingya Yearning for Freedom

The two of them ordered three dishes in total, all of which were not that expensive.

Qingya took one look and said, "You two don't have to help me save money. I'll take the rest."

She was familiar with the place and knew what the signature dishes were, so she ordered a few more.

When the waiter came, Qingya handed him the marked menu and said, "Please serve the food as soon as possible, thank you."

"OK."

After the waiter took the menu away, Qingya asked, "May I ask, are you two also coming to the Xing Luo Empire to participate in the Continental High-level Soul Master Fighting Soul Competition?"

Wang Dong'er didn't know whether to say it or not, but Lin Tianmeng said directly: "Yes, we are members of the reserve team of Shrek Academy."

"You are from Shrek Academy!"

Qingya was extremely surprised.

Who in the entire Douluo Continent hasn't heard of Shrek Academy? It has a profound foundation and a thousand-year heritage! It is said that the seven people who ascended to become gods ten thousand years ago came from Shrek Academy.

Although Qingya was a resident of the Xingluo Empire, she had heard of Shrek Academy a long time ago.

"Yeah." Lin Tianmeng nodded and said, "This time we are mainly here as substitutes, and we may not necessarily play."

"That's already amazing. I heard that Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, not ordinary people. Anyone who can enter and successfully graduate will achieve great success in the future."

Qingya was extremely envious, and she was not pretending.

Wang Dong'er asked: "Sister Qingya, why do you work as an auctioneer at the Xingluo Empire Royal Auction House?"

When talking about this, Qingya's expression changed.

"Ah, it's fate. My parents died when I was very young, and the people at the auction house took me in. So I lived there from a young age, and naturally became an auctioneer there when I grew up."

Lin Tianmeng understood that this elegant lady was also a pitiful person.

Just like Zhang Lexuan from Shrek Academy.

Is it really right to be trapped in a place you don't want to be in for the rest of your life when you grow up because you can't repay the favor you owed to others? Qingya didn't know. Anyway, she was now an auctioneer at the Xingluo Empire Royal Auction House. Once she had this identity, it would be difficult to get rid of it.

Although the Xing Luo Empire will not allow them to attend top auctions, they are still of great value.

Originally, Xu Jiujiu was supposed to host today's auction, because the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone to be auctioned was very precious, so the commission the auctioneer would get in the end would be very high.

An auctioneer like Qingya is not qualified to auction the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

It was just because there was a special situation tonight and Xu Jiujiu had been away, so she took over temporarily.

But if she hadn't been adopted by the people at the auction house, maybe even her body wouldn't be found now.

So her feelings towards the auction house are very conflicted.

"Miss Qingya, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, I want to ask, are you happy now?"

Lin Tianmeng half leaned back in his chair, his eyes clear.

"Happy?" Qingya thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, I am happy."

My colleagues at the auction house are all very nice and it’s not difficult to get along with them.

Moreover, she can earn enough commission every month with her skills as an auctioneer, so she can take a break for a while.

However, the money she earned could only be used within the imperial city of the Xingluo Empire. The auction house had expressly prohibited auctioneers like them from leaving the imperial city. Otherwise, once discovered, they would never be hired again.

"Really?" Lin Tianmeng took a sip of tea and said lightly.

He could see that Qingya was not happy at all.

She said she was happy, but she was just deceiving herself.

Qingya was a little embarrassed because she had realized that Lin Tianmeng knew she was lying.

Fortunately, the waiter came to serve the food at this time, which finally eased the atmosphere a little.

"Let's eat first. You must be hungry." Qingya said.

"good."

Lin Tianmeng nodded, handed a portion of tableware to Wang Donger, and the three of them began to eat.

Qingya kept thinking about what Lin Tianmeng had just said while eating.

She suddenly began to feel that her life was too boring.

She was just adopted by the auction house when she was young, so why did she devote her whole life to this place? When she first started working as an auctioneer, she didn't take a penny of the money she earned, but gave it all to her adoptive father and mother.

After so many years, it’s time to repay the kindness.

She shouldn't have trapped herself here.

What she longs for is freedom.

So, Qingya was eating and suddenly said, "You are right, maybe I should pursue what I really want!"

Lin Tianmeng:?

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Wang Donger:?

"For so many years, I have been trapped in this small imperial city. I rarely even go out to the auction house."

Qingya's signature smile finally disappeared from her lips; she wasn't even smiling.

"In fact, what I have always longed for is the outside world."

"I want to see what the outside world is like. I've heard of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Douling Empire, the Sun and Moon Empire, and Shrek Academy."

"But that's just hearsay. I have never left the imperial city of Xingluo Empire."

After hearing what she said, not only Lin Tianmeng was shocked, but even Wang Dong'er couldn't help but began to sympathize with Qingya.

"Oh my god, Sister Qingya, you have been staying in the imperial city of Xingluo Empire and have never gone out?"

Wang Dong'er asked, blinking her big, twinkling eyes.

Qingya nodded and said, "Yes, even in the Imperial City, there are still many places I haven't visited yet."

Her whole life seemed to be trapped in the auction house.

"So, I really want to go out and take a look." After Qingya said this, the depression in her heart suddenly eased a lot.

Lin Tianmeng said: "Will the auction house be willing to let you go?"

Qingya shook her head and said, "The Xingluo Empire Royal Auction House does not implement a hiring system, but an alternative slavery system."

"Unless I run away and never return to the Xingluo Empire, my final outcome will be disastrous."

Wang Dong'er was surprised and said, "What? The Xingluo Empire actually..."

She only knew the glamour of the Xing Luo Empire, and was completely unaware of the undercurrents flowing underneath.

On the contrary, Lin Tianmeng had guessed it long ago. Xu Jiujiu was just a princess, but she could be so arrogant and domineering. There must be the instigation of the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire behind the scenes.

Education is important.

Lin Tianmeng could see that the word "help" was written in Qingya's eyes.

But she didn't dare say it here, because this is the imperial city of the Xing Luo Empire.

Any restaurant, auction house, or even clothing store might have royal eyes on the door.

She was planning to escape from the Xing Luo Empire, and once she escaped, she would be regarded as a traitor.

Therefore, she would never dare to talk about the specific plan in such a place.
