Chapter 36: Five Years Later, Old Friends Meet Again

Unlike the previous ancient wood that had no one bidding, the preciousness of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring made the scene boil over, and the sound of bidding was endless. However, those who participated in the auction were all people in the rooms on the second floor, and most of them were alchemists. After all, alchemists are the least short of money.

"Seven hundred and ninety thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand."

The price soared all the way to 800,000, and at this time there were only a few bidders left.

“Your Highness, although the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in our Spirit World has flooded due to the Falling God Ice Field, if Miss Qing’er doesn’t bid, the price of 800,000 is still a bargain.”

"Yes, Your Highness, if it were placed in Zhongzhou, it would definitely be sold for several million."

In room number one on the fourth floor, Shengfeng and Shengyu were very dissatisfied with the price of Bingling Cold Spring. They frowned and said to Shengling Long.

Sheng Linglong lowered his eyebrows and smiled, his features hidden in the shadows, and said slowly: "So what? Money is just a string of numbers to me. If sister Qing'er doesn't bid, I can give her another one."

The scene fell into silence, and the auctioneer asked: "It only cost 800,000 gold coins, is there anyone who wants to bid?"

Hun Qinghao gave the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King beside him a look and said, "Da Zi, go and make me an offer. One million first."

Speaking of one million so easily, everyone in the room except the Amethyst Winged Lion King swallowed their saliva. President Frank, who wanted to make a bid, silently put down his sign.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had no idea about human money, but he knew that his little master was very rich, so he raised the sign without any psychological pressure and shouted loudly: "My lady offers one million gold coins."

hiss!
One million gold coins!

Where did this prodigal daughter come from!
When the price of one million was announced, everyone at the scene gasped.

They thought the price was already at its highest at over 800,000, but they didn't expect someone to offer one million.

In a small place like Black Rock City, this is not just a high price, it’s a sky-high price!

When I looked up, I saw that the person who made the bid was the burly man next to the young lady in Room No. 1 on the third floor. The young lady he was referring to must be the girl next to her.

Oh, it turns out to be the willful young lady who spent a fortune on a piece of rotten wood. That’s all right!

This person could pay a high price for a piece of rotten wood, so it was not surprising for him to pay one million for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

The sky-high price of one million deterred everyone, and when no one bid again, the auctioneer announced the ownership of the Bingling Cold Spring.

After the auction, several men in uniform walked into the room. The leading man handed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to Hun Qinghao and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Miss, this is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring you bid for, plus the mysterious ancient wood, a total of 1.4 million gold coins."

"Swipe the card." Hun Qinghao took out the purple gold card and handed it to the man, then put away the Bingling Cold Spring.

After deducting the gold coins, the man returned the card to Hun Qinghao. Thinking of the instructions above, he said, "Miss, the distinguished guest in Room 1 on the fourth floor wants to see you. That distinguished guest is the one who took out the Ice Spirit Cold Spring."

"Oh?" Hun Qinghao raised his eyebrows slightly, "The person who is bidding for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring wants to see me?"

"Did he say why he wanted to see me?"

"No, the distinguished guest only said that he was an old friend of the young lady."

"Old friend?" Hun Qinghao was puzzled.

What old friends could she have? In the soul world, except for her father, everyone else was respectful to her but not close enough to her. They would only call her "Young Master" and would never consider themselves her old friends.

And old friends usually refer to people you haven’t seen for a long time. Does she have anyone she hasn’t seen for a long time?

"Then I'll go meet him, you lead the way." Hun Qinghao said calmly. Unable to remember who this "old friend" was for the time being, Hun Qinghao decided to meet him in person.

"You guys go first. Da Zi and I are going to meet this 'old friend'!" After turning around and saying something to President Frank and Master Otto, Hun Qinghao took the Amethyst Winged Lion King out of the room.

In Room No. 1 on the fourth floor, the people from the auction house brought Hun Qinghao to the door of the room and then left. They seemed to be very afraid of the people in the room and did not even dare to knock on the door.

Hun Qinghao pursed his lips, pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing the figure standing at the window, Hun Qinghao was shocked and his eyes flickered involuntarily.

Although it was just a figure from behind, she felt that there was something particularly familiar about this person.

While Hun Qing was stunned, Sheng Feng and Sheng Yu silently closed the door, and then pulled the big Amethyst Winged Lion King into a corner to prevent him from making any sound.

At this time, Sheng Linglong slowly turned around with a very gentle smile on his face, "Sister Qing'er, long time no see!"

Her pupils trembled suddenly. This familiar face and voice made the memories of five years ago surge in Hun Qinghao's mind, causing her voice to tremble.

"You, you are...Brother Linglong!"

Sheng Linglong smiled gently and slowly walked towards the girl he had been thinking about day and night, "It's me, Sister Qing'er, I'm back!"

Sheng Feng and Sheng Yu, who were standing by, couldn't help but feel emotional when they saw Sheng Linglong, who was completely different from usual. It turned out that they still had to look to Miss Qing'er. Only she could make their cold prince become gentle.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye five years ago?" Hun Qinghao suppressed his emotions and asked coldly.

He was her first friend in this world. Five years ago, they agreed to stay together forever, but when she woke up, he was gone.

Therefore, he was also the first person to break his promise to her.

Now that they met again after five years, she felt both happy and resentful towards him.

"Sister Qing'er, I..."

Sheng Linglong said this and wanted to touch her head like he did five years ago, but Hun Qinghao avoided him distantly.

When she dodged, Sheng Linglong's hand suddenly froze in the air, and a dark light flashed in his red eyes.

I guess I'm still unfamiliar with it!

He put his hand down and stopped forcing himself to touch her head. After a sigh, he explained half-truthfully, "Sister Qing'er, I know you blame me, but I was being hunted by my enemies at the time, and I couldn't let you get hurt."

"No matter what happens to me, I can't let you, my sister Qing'er, get hurt!" Regardless of whether Sheng Linglong's previous words were true or not, his latter sentence was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

Hun Qing believed Sheng Linglong's explanation.

As for the first friend, she didn't want to assume any malice towards him.

Seeing his lonely look because of his estrangement, Hun Qing's heart softened and he said softly, "Then you can't just leave without saying anything!"

"Brother Linglong, do you know that after you left, those people who were chasing you didn't want to let me go. If Dad hadn't arrived in time, you wouldn't be able to see me now!"

Five years ago, she accidentally fell out of the soul world because she exerted too much force while practicing space magic. Although she met Brother Linglong, that was also the biggest disaster in her smooth life. She will never forget the ugly faces of those people.
