Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 439 Dugu Bo: This kid doesn't seem like a good person.
Tang San wanted to lash out, but then he remembered that this was Wuhun City, and if he made a move, even if his aunt could cultivate normally, she probably wouldn't be able to protect him.

In the end, Tang San held back, took the crossbow bolt handed to him by Lu Rentao, and slunk off to the auction house observation area.

Fortunately for Tang San, no one was forcibly evicted.

After finding a good spot in the observation area, Tang San sat down and thought to himself, "Let me see what good stuff is here that can compare to my Tang Clan's hidden weapons."

As time went on, all the guests at the auction had officially arrived.

Above the auction hall, there was a circle of high platforms, with a separate area in each direction, reserved for the highest-ranking people who held the most wealth, such as representatives of the seven major sects and top-tier families on the continent.

Tang San was positioned below these people, so he couldn't clearly see those sitting above him.

Even the regular auction area was divided into two sections: regular seats and VIP seats. Without exception, everyone was wearing masks and cloaks, completely covered up.

Lu Rentao entered a one-way glass room and bowed to the woman in front of him. The woman was tall and elegant, with long silver-blue hair that was styled in a noble and generous manner.

Beside the woman was an elderly man dressed in green.

"Your Majesty, everyone has arrived. Shall we begin today's auction?"

"Well, let's get started."

Tang Yuehua slightly raised her hand, indicating that they could begin.

That's right. On the surface, she is the owner of Yuexuan, but in reality, she is also the highest-ranking person in charge of the Imperial Auction House across the entire continent. Her identity is kept strictly confidential.

Only a very few people who are truly loyal to the Martial Soul Empire know this; the rest, even Ning Fengzhi, have no way of knowing.

Normally, all the affairs of this auction house are discussed and decided by the senior executives. Tang Yuehua rarely gets involved in the affairs here. Today, Tang San said he wanted to come here, so she became interested and came to take a look. She also invited Dugu Bo along.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Because of his identity as Gu Han's Awakened One, Lu Rentao, despite having the lowest cultivation level, was one of the highest-ranking executives in the auction house.

Firstly, he is very capable in handling affairs.

Secondly, he is well-liked, humble, and patient, so no one dislikes him.

Thirdly, no one dared to gamble on whether the other party could actually receive special treatment from His Majesty.

However, he still had to be extremely respectful in front of these true Title Douluos.

Although Gu Han would spare his life out of consideration for their past friendship, he would not become arrogant because of it; this was his way of dealing with people.

After Lu Rentao went to make arrangements, Dugu Bo asked, "Master, where is that boy who wants to see me?"

Tang Yuehua gazed at the entire auction hall through the one-way floor-to-ceiling window, then pointed vaguely to the location of Tang San in the observation area.

"That's him, the kid wearing a half-mask and a black and blue outfit."

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction Tang Yuehua was pointing. He quickly found Tang San's location.

"Hehe, this kid is about the same age as my Yanyan, but why does he give me the feeling that he's deep in thought and has a heavy mind?"

Dugu Bo was a seasoned veteran who could see through Tang San's true nature at a glance. Normally, Tang San's disguise would not have revealed it, but at this moment, Tang San had just experienced what he perceived as a humiliation and was in an extremely bad mood, so his deep and thoughtful nature could not be concealed.

"Such a deep mind at such a young age, doesn't seem like a good person."

Having made this conclusion about Tang San, Dugu Bo decided in his heart that he wouldn't bring Yan Yan with him later and could go by himself.

"Grandpa, what doesn't seem like a good person?"

Dugu Bo's words were meant for Tang Yuehua, but Dugu Yan, who was playing with building blocks with Ye Lingling on the sofa not far away, heard them very clearly. She turned over, lay on the sofa, and looked over to ask.

Ye Lingling wasn't talkative, but she was also staring at them with her beautiful big eyes.

"Ahem, it's nothing, you two can play." Dugu Bo coughed lightly, trying to casually fool the two girls.

However, Dugu Yan wasn't buying it. She pouted and said, "Grandpa, I'm not a three-year-old. What you just said doesn't sound like something a good person would say."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan walked to the French windows, looked down, and began to look around with her big eyes.

Boom!
"Ouch, Grandpa, why did you hit me?" Dugu Yan covered her head and glared angrily at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo withdrew the culprit that had knocked on Dugu Yan and said in a serious tone, "Don't worry about it, or Grandpa won't take you with him when he goes out in the future."

"Oh fine."

Dugu Yan lowered her head and obediently followed orders, but in her heart she was thinking of secretly following them later with the concealing jade pendant given to her by her senior.

But who is Dugu Bo? How could Dugu Yan's little scheme possibly escape the notice of her grandfather?

He looked at Tang Yuehua and said, "Master, I will go alone in a while. Please also look after my naughty granddaughter for me."

Tang Yuehua smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Dugu Yan's face twitched, and when she looked up, she saw Dugu Bo's smug look and the way he was trying to fight her.

"Humph~"

Dugu Yan had no choice but to angrily run off to find Ye Lingling to build with blocks, knowing she couldn't escape from Tang Yuehua.

Ye Lingling is much more obedient, which often makes Dugu Bo sigh and envy Ye Renxin. He thinks it would be great if Yanyan were half as well-behaved as Lingling.

As they spoke, on the high platform of the auction house, a woman in a formal dress began introducing the first item up for auction.

She reached out and opened the auction item's cover, taking out a gem-like soul bone.

"Distinguished guests, this is the first item up for auction today: an 800-year-old gemstone head bone from an extremely rare diamond rhinoceros. The starting price is 10 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 1 million."

"The first item is the Soul Bone!"

Tang San was shocked. He never expected that the first item to be auctioned would be a soul bone, and a rare head soul bone at that. This was just the beginning; what would happen with the items that followed?
Tang San couldn't even imagine what kind of treasures would be auctioned next; they would probably be priceless.
"Eleven million!!"

"Fifteen million!"

"thirty million!!"

The competition for the soul bone was fierce, but when the bid reached 30 million, the scene came to a halt.

An 800-year-old rare diamond head bone is extremely valuable, but if it exceeds the budget and affects the purchase of subsequent items in the auction, it would be a loss. Therefore, many people stopped bidding.

"Thirty million once."

"Anyone want to pay more?"

"Thirty million twice."

The woman waited and watched for a while, and seeing that no one else was bidding higher, she finally made the final decision.

"Thirty million three times!"

"Congratulations to VIP number two for winning the bid for this 800-year-old diamond rhinoceros head bone."

On the two VIP platforms, Hu Yanzhen's lips curled up slightly. He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. He couldn't use the eight-hundred-year-old diamond head soul bone, but the young geniuses in the sect could.

Not long after, a special person carefully dragged the soul bone to this place.

"Dear esteemed guest, this is the item you have purchased. Please confirm it."

Hu Yanzhen nodded, lifted the red cloth, and after confirming that everything was correct, reached out and took it in his hand.

"I've checked it, no problem. Thank you all."

"Then we won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, just press the green button next to you, and our staff will be there whenever you call."

"Ah."

Hu Yanzhen nodded.

The group didn't linger. After delivering the items, they left in an orderly fashion, with the last person quietly closing the door behind them.
