Chapter 134
===================
Lian Yun turned around and saw the little girl tightening her burned hands and frowning tightly.
"What's wrong?"
Lina raised her head, lowered her voice, and said seriously, "Sister, there's something wrong with this earring!"
The ring seemed to be reminding her of danger. Whenever she reached out her hand towards the earrings, the ring would emit a large amount of heat, causing her to retract her hand in pain.
Lian Yun's expression gradually became solemn.
This ring is an exclusive piece of jewelry passed down from generation to generation by the elven royal family to Lina. In order to protect the safety of the heir, its judgment must be correct.
so……
Lian Yun glanced at the earrings calmly. They looked like ordinary jewelry, without any abnormality.
Lian Yun raised his hand and the earrings were instantly put into his backpack.
Her expression darkened slightly as she glanced out the door.
"Sister, are we still going?"
How dare the other party give them such a big gift right at the start?
Lian Yun wanted to meet who that person was, but Lana was not around. Even though she would not be hurt, Lina was still there.
But if you don’t go…
Lian Yun glanced at the wall on the left worriedly.
That wooden door has not appeared until now.
I can't go out, and I can't leave.
"It would be great if Brother Lana came along." Lina looked at Lian Yun's expression and guessed what she was thinking. She couldn't help but mutter, "Or, or maybe I didn't come along."
Lian Yun paused.
In fact, she can protect Lina by herself, but if this door does not appear, can they stay in the underground auction house forever?
After some consideration, Lian Yun took Lina's hand and walked out the door.
"Walk."
Just after they took a few steps outside, they realized that the entire second floor's attention was focused on them.
The faces of the two men were buried in the shadow of the cloak, and others could not see them clearly, but they could see each other clearly.
People of all heights and colors stopped at the same time. They were wearing clothes that looked equally luxurious and elegant. The collars and cuffs were embroidered with exquisite patterns or inlaid with expensive jewels. Even the men would put a few gems on their walking sticks to show their noble status.
There was curiosity, contempt, indifference, or residual enthusiasm and kindness in their eyes, the latter of which were too rare and flashed by in no time to be captured.
But they are all far away, as if they are far away from Lianyun.
Lian Yun realized almost instantly that he and they would never live together.
She would never be that person.
Standing at the door of private room No. 65 was a man and a woman.
The man was cold and noble, which gave Lian Yun a rare and unique feeling; the woman was enchanting but not coquettish, with a pair of captivating fox eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"I suppose you are the guest of Room 65?"
The man opened his thin lips slightly...
Spit out some nonsense.
Lian Yun looked back at the number plate next to the room he had just left: ...
Seeing that the man showed no intention of taking back his words, Lian Yun reluctantly understood that this was the social rule in the main city, so she politely replied, "I guess you are the guest of Room 64?"
Lina: ...
woman:……
The man smiled slightly: "Exactly, would you mind treating the two ladies to a meal?"
Lina stepped in front of Lian Yun, stretched out her index finger, and shook it slowly: "No, okay."
He invited my sister to dinner right after we met, and he’s so pretty, he must have bad intentions!
Look, she goes back and tells Brother Lana to beat him up!
The man paused, bent down, and looked at Lina in a friendly manner: "Dear girl, don't you want to have a meal with us?"
Being questioned in such a gentle tone by such a handsome older brother, Lina felt for a moment that having dinner with them... seemed to be possible.
But she suddenly realized that she was wearing a cloak and hat like her sister!
It's unbelievable that he could praise a shadow as cute.
I almost fell for a trick!
Lina firmly held Lian Yun's hand, and already regarded this person who deceived children as a bad person.
No matter how handsome he is, he can’t be shaken!
Lian Yun smiled and said, "My sister has already expressed my thoughts on your behalf, and the reason I met you is to ask you this."
Mogo was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the girl's empty right hand throw into the air.
He took it subconsciously and actually received the thing.
Looking closely, isn’t that the pair of jewel earrings that he took a picture of as a gift?
Mogo pursed his lips and smiled, his dignity evident without anger: "Miss, what are you doing...?"
"I'm afraid I have to ask what you mean?"
Lian Yun's voice was still cheerful, but the smile was gone.
Mogo rubbed the jewel earrings in his hand, but they were quickly snatched away by the woman next to him.
The woman brought the gem close to her nose, sniffed it gracefully, and her smile gradually faded.
"Mogo, next time before you give me a gift, please make sure to check it carefully. Otherwise, what will happen if such a misunderstanding occurs again?" The woman glared at Mogo coquettishly, threw the earrings on the waiter's tray beside her, took out a silk handkerchief from her bag, and wiped her already spotless hands over and over again.
"This thing is really offensive to the two young ladies." The woman was the first to apologize.
At this point, no matter how stupid Mogo was, he understood what was happening.
Is someone plotting against him?
After reaching this conclusion, he looked even worse than when he was rejected just now.
Mogo glanced around, passing over the people who were watching from afar.
Those who were swept began to walk away or avoid it unconsciously.
It's not that they were afraid, they just suddenly didn't want to watch anymore.
Mogo's gaze fell on Laura, who was furious in the distance but couldn't hide her anger.
This stupid woman?
Won't.
She couldn't be so stealthy.
It's related to her, but not entirely her work.
Mogo retracted his gaze, his expression normal. He nodded to Lian Yun, his tone full of apology: "I'm so sorry. I apologize for my carelessness. I really didn't expect someone would tamper with the gift I gave."
"Anyway, I was very ungentlemanly in my misunderstanding of the two young ladies just now. If you don't mind, please give me a chance to make amends?"
Although the gift he gave was found to be impolite, the man's words and actions clearly showed that he wanted to talk to Lian Yun.
Lian Yun couldn't help but feel curious.
What exactly does the other party want to say?
Lian Yun thought for a moment and quickly responded: "No need to eat, I came here after having a full meal."
An awkward yet polite response.
Lina nodded in agreement.
"But I'd like to ask you a question." Lian Yun also made a concession. "If you don't mind, could you accompany me for a walk nearby?"
Mogo looked embarrassed, pointing to the clothes on himself and his female companion, and said apologetically: "Miss, it's not that I don't want to, but my clothes will inevitably attract attention."
What was not revealed was his identity, a well-known face that would attract attention on any street.
But as clever as he was, he was still quietly testing the key points in Lian Yun's words: "If... you don't want to go too far, I have a small tavern near the auction house. Why don't you come and have a seat?"
Lian Yun paused.
Seeing a trend of agreement, Mogo quickly added: "Not far, less than a street away."
Lian Yun glanced at Lina and finally agreed to his invitation.
Because of Mogo's previous glance, there were not many people left on the second floor to watch. When they walked down the stairs, the people downstairs were almost gone.
Lian Yun walked out of the auction house for the first time. Although the street outside was built underground, it did not feel damp or dark at all.
It looks like an ordinary nighttime pedestrian street, with elegant French shops on both sides, selling everything from clothing, pastries, and jewelry.
Even in today's food shortage, the underground streets can still create new ways to cook rare foods.
Lian Yun silently memorized the appearance and layout of the surrounding streets.
After taking two steps, Lina suddenly stopped holding her hand.
Before Lian Yun could ask, the little girl pointed at the few rickshaws parked in front of the magnificent gate.
Lian Yun had seen many rickshaws like this in the movies and TV shows in his own world before. In this underground street with no free and convenient means of transportation, Lian Yun was not surprised to see such a car.
But Lina's sudden reminder made Lian Yun pay attention.
…Every driver seemed to maintain the same posture.
They all had tacitly understood expressions of dullness, standing in front of the car like puppets. When someone got on the car, he would pull up the awning and the horizontal bar in front of the car, and run to the other end of the street without saying a word.
They don't make any noise during the whole process and don't even ask the guests where they are going.
This is……
"Puppet." Mogo smiled slightly and looked down at Lina. "It's been there for a long time. Little girl, do you rarely go out and haven't seen it?"
Lina pursed her lips and took a few steps behind Lian Yun.
Mogo stood up and said, "My shop is right in front. This kind of car can only take you to the exit. If you want to take it..."
"Forget it." Lian Yun said firmly, "I'm not that interested."
Lian Yun took two steps in the direction Mogo pointed, and the latter quickly followed to lead her.
Mogo walked by and saw Lian Yun looking around. Knowing that this was her first time outside the auction house, he took the initiative to explain: "This commercial area outside the auction house is actually more valuable than any of the streets above."
Lian Yun understood it easily.
Those who come to the auction house are either rich or noble. It can be said that it gathers the most prominent and wealthy children in the entire main city. Even if it is only held once a week, the turnover this time is much more than that earned in a week on the streets.
Lian Yun glanced sideways and said, "So, it must have been difficult for you to open a shop here?"
Mogo laughed twice with an ambiguous tone and pointed to a tavern at the corner ahead that was busiest with people. "That one is under my control, and there are also many properties of my family in other places."
Lian Yun said indifferently, seemingly unconcerned: "What about the cart-pulling business? With a family as big as yours, I imagine you're involved in that, right?"
She thought this was a very simple answer: yes, yes, no, no.
But for the first time, Mogo remained silent.
Lian Yun did not miss any change in his expression and accurately noticed his almost imperceptible glance towards the female companion beside him.
His female companion responded with her usual smile, allowing him to speak again: "...Yes."
