Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 90 Ning Rongrong's Heartbeat

After the song ended, the man bowed slightly towards the many students, then looked in the direction of Tang Yuehua.

"Teacher Yuehua, long time no see. And Rongrong, you too."

The man has a faint smile on his face

"Tsk, I don't want to see you." Ning Rongrong turned her head away and didn't look at him.

Tang Yuehua bowed slightly, "Your Highness's piano skills have reached perfection. Even I can't hear any flaws."

"Teacher Yuehua, I hope you don't blame me for practicing the piano without permission." Xue Qinghe's gentle voice was as gentle as jade, just like his temperament, which made people feel good about him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, and it is really an honor for Yuexuan that he can still take time to practice the piano with me."

Tang Yuehua smiled at Qian Renxue and replied respectfully.

"Haha, Teacher Yuehua still has to teach, Qinghe won't bother you any more." Xue Qinghe said as he looked at Ning Rongrong and invited her, "Rongrong, there's an auction going on at the auction house today, let's go and take a look."

Although it was an invitation, a trace of helplessness flashed through Qian Renxue's heart. Xue Qinghe was naturally Qian Renxue. This time she came to Yuexuan for Ning Rongrong, but she was not interested in Ning Rongrong's beauty, it was just a mission.

That stepfather needed him to win over the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Fengzhi also had some intentions in that regard, so she always had to pretend.

But she is not the real Xue Qinghe. If she and Ning Rongrong get married, they will have to consummate the marriage. But she does not have the tools, and she cannot ask Shang An to help her.

But her teacher hinted at it overtly and covertly, and if she really didn't do something, her teacher would probably think that she was dissatisfied with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

So she would occasionally invite Ning Rongrong to go out for a walk. Anyway, she would just do some things to please Ning Fengzhi, and she would not try to please Ning Rongrong deliberately, keeping a good distance. She thought that this girl would not like her.

Ning Rongrong was a little interested when she heard about the auction. She had rarely come into contact with these things when she was in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect before, and she was even more curious about the auction in Tiandou City. Unfortunately, auctions were not held often, and she had never participated in an auction since she came to Tiandou City.

Ning Rongrong said, "Okay, considering your sincerity, I will agree to your request this time."

Qian Renxue was stunned. She just came here to perfunctorily as usual, why did he suddenly agree? She still had government affairs to deal with in the afternoon. However, she was a lurker for many years after all, and she was very determined, so she reacted instantly.

Her face immediately showed joy and excitement, "Let's go, Rongrong, take my carriage."

"Ah."

Ning Rongrong turned around and walked towards the door first, with a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth where Qian Renxue couldn't see. If she really hated the Crown Prince, how could she let him call her Rongrong?

Tiandou Auction House,

Qian Renxue walked into the box somewhat helplessly with Ning Rongrong, who looked excited. She had to put a happy expression on her face while answering Ning Rongrong's questions.

So tired! She had never felt so tired before. She would rather deal with those complicated government affairs than stay here with Ning Rongrong, but she couldn't do that. It was inconsistent with her personality, so she could only suffer while pretending to be happy.

"Xue Qinghe, what's wrong with you?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously when she saw Qian Renxue's slightly stiff body.

"No, nothing. Rongrong, is there anything you want to buy? I'll buy it for you." Qian Renxue quickly adjusted her state and asked with pretended concern.

"Okay, I want this." Ning Rongrong didn't find anything, but still looked excited. She pointed at a silver-white storage soul guide bracelet that was being auctioned.

"Okay, buy it." Seeing Ning Rongrong shift her attention to the auction items, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. They were just some small things after all, and her little treasury could still hold on.

After taking a picture of the ring, the next thing to appear is a square object wrapped in red cloth.

"What is this! It's so big?" Ning Rongrong looked at the square object about one person tall with some confusion.

"It's human."

Qian Renxue understood what was inside at a glance. Although she was not interested in these things, it did not mean that she did not understand the darkness of these nobles. In Tiandou City, such things were not uncommon.

"People?" Ning Rongrong was still a little confused. At this time, the auctioneer directly lifted the red cloth, and a girl with wolf ears and thin clothes was curled up in an iron cage. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she had just cried.

"This is a human!" Ning Rongrong's pupils shrank in disbelief, and then a trace of anger emerged. She didn't expect that the largest auction house in Tiandou City would actually publicly auction a human being.

"To be precise, they are slaves." Qian Renxue corrected Ning Rongrong's statement.

The auctioneer was still loudly talking about the advantages of this wolf girl, and the audience's eyes were hot, full of greed and desire. The atmosphere on the field was completely mobilized, but this box seemed a little out of place.

Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with confusion and anger. She was clearly just a girl about her age, a living person, but now she was locked in an iron cage like an animal, for others to watch and bid for.

"Why? Doesn't the Tiandou Empire prohibit slavery?"

"prohibit?"

"It can't be banned." Qian Renxue shook her head. "As long as there is a market for slaves, the slave trade can never be banned. And nobles often like slaves the most because they are lowly and can be beaten and scolded at will. Even your father and my teacher have bought slaves."

There was one more thing she didn't say, which was that the royal family was actually behind the slave trade, and the royal family was the biggest black hand behind this black industry.

Ning Rongrong looked a little dazed. Did someone like her father also buy slaves? How could it be possible? She was a little bit unbelievable and a little excited and said:

"But she is also a living person, not a slave!"

"No, she is. Even if she wasn't before, as long as she is locked in this cage now, she is a slave."

Qian Renxue's tone remained calm, and there was no fluctuation in her eyes. The filth among the nobles was far more than this.

"People are born into different classes, just like you were born as the heir of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and I was born as the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. As long as people have desires, there will never be true equality."

"is it?"

"Have you also bought these slaves?" Ning Rongrong's voice sounded a little low at this time, with her head lowered, so her expression could not be seen clearly.

Qian Renxue was stunned, then shook her head.

"I'm not interested in that."

"Really?" Ning Rongrong's clenched fists loosened a little, and she looked as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Renxue did not notice Ning Rongrong's little action and watched everything that happened in the auction house calmly.

Although she was designated as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall since she was a child and her status was more noble than Ning Rongrong, she had infiltrated the Tiandou Empire very early. As the crown prince, she witnessed all kinds of darkness in the world. She was far from being as innocent as Ning Rongrong.

She might have felt reluctant, but to make enemies with the royal family and nobles for a few irrelevant people was undoubtedly detrimental to her lurking plan. She had always been a rational person.

As for the demand for equality for all, she probably has no such demand. Her grandfather said that she was destined to become the God of Angels. She was supposed to be above all other living beings, wasn't she?

Ning Rongrong's face was a little pale. She probably understood these principles, but an innocent girl who had just experienced the world would always feel bad when she faced the darkness of the world for the first time.

"Can you save her?"

There was a hint of pleading in her tone.

"Since Rongrong has spoken, of course I can."

Qian Renxue agreed and picked up the sign to participate in the bidding.

The price of a slave like this whose body was transformed by his martial spirit was often much higher than that of an ordinary slave. In the end, Qian Renxue bought the wolf girl for 210,000 gold soul coins.

Ning Rongrong didn't buy anything until the end of the auction. She seemed a little silent and her previous excitement disappeared. It was obvious that today's experience had dealt her a big blow.

After the auction items were delivered, the wolf girl was handed over to the two men. After questioning, it was found that her parents had died long ago and she was an orphan. Finally, Qian Renxue sent someone to take her back to the Prince's Mansion to be a maid.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Tiandou Royal Academy.

Qian Renxue sent Ning Rongrong back to the academy.

"Brother Xue, thank you."

After a long silence, Ning Rongrong finally spoke. Her first words were "thank you". This was the first time she called Qian Renxue "Brother Xue".

Along the way, she gradually calmed down. She knew that her previous request was actually a bit excessive. It was not just about money. Xue Qinghe's image among the people has always been that of a wise prince, a perfect heir who loves the people like his own children.

Unlike the bullying Prince Avalanche, he has no stain on his body. But precisely because his image is too perfect, if the slave auction today were to be exposed, he would be easily criticized by some political enemies.
