Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 169 Wang Yan: I Want Both

"What are you looking at me for? Can't I be a VIP?" Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes.

Wang Dong'er could certainly be a VIP, but a VIP who could be separated from Shrek Academy...

Moreover, Shrek Academy has always acted together. Now that Wang Dong'er has received an invitation alone, can they still act together?

Wang Yan's biggest worry was that if Wang Dong'er really booked a private room, how many people from Shrek Academy would be taken there by Wang Dong'er?

If they stay in Shrek Academy's private room, it means Shrek Academy is paying for their services. If Wang Dong'er takes them there, wouldn't that make them owe Wang Dong'er a favor?

"Ahem, I didn't expect you, Wang Dong'er, to have also obtained auction qualifications from the Starlight Auction House." Wang Yan looked at Wang Dong'er. "However, Shrek Academy is a unified entity after all. Wang Dong'er, why don't you come along?"

Wang Dong'er shook her head and said sincerely, "Teacher Wang, why don't you bring everyone to my private room? I'll pay for the things you bid for Shrek Academy separately, how about that?"

"Since I've already done all this, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't enjoy it?"

"This..." Wang Yan was somewhat at a loss.

He couldn't accept either of these two choices: either separate or be completely controlled by Wang Dong'er.

As for not going to this top-tier auction?

That's even more of a joke.

Since Qingya said so, it means that there must be something in this top auction that Shrek Academy can also use, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a boast.

"Let's talk about it when we get there." Wang Yan gave an awkward laugh, stiffly changing the subject, and asked, "Dai Yueheng, you're from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, so you're more familiar with Xingluo City than we are. What do you think of this top-tier auction?"

Dai Yueheng took a gold-embossed invitation sent to Shrek Academy, looked it over, and said, "This is indeed an invitation to a top-tier auction. I've seen my father receive one before. Only people with backgrounds like my father and members of the royal family, as well as some large merchants, top-tier Soul Masters, Soul Masters, and powerful organizations, can attend with this kind of invitation."

"While the top auctions do have many good items, the prices are also extremely high. Perhaps we can find something suitable for us or Shrek Academy."

"However, Starlight Auction House invited us, which is probably to curry favor with us, and there is no other intention."

"You don't even know the background of this Starlight Auction House?" Wang Yan was somewhat surprised. "They were able to break through the Star Luo Empire's official blockade of hotels to get here, so it seems they have quite a background."

Dai Yueheng was somewhat embarrassed: "When my father came to participate in the auction, he didn't even bring me along. I only know a little about it."

"Alright, let's plan our tactics for tomorrow first, then go check it out. It'll be a good way to relax and avoid being nervous on the field tomorrow. Once the auction is over, we'll come back and rest immediately so as not to miss tomorrow's match."

After quickly setting up their tactics, the group arrived at the Starlight Auction House.

Auctioneer Qingya stood at the entrance. Upon seeing the group arrive, she immediately stepped forward and greeted them with a smile, "Welcome to all the distinguished guests from Shrek Academy and Wang Dong'er, esteemed guests, to Starlight Auction House. Are you all coming together?"

Wang Yan ignored the second half of Qingya's question and asked in return, "Did you know we would definitely come and wait here all this time?"

"Teacher Wang, you've misunderstood." Qingya said with a faint smile, "I didn't know beforehand that you distinguished guests would be here. My task is simply to receive you all. So, regardless of whether you come or not, I will stay here until the auction officially begins. Distinguished guests, please follow me inside."

Wang Yan didn't answer the previous question, and Qingya, being quite tactful, didn't ask again. She smiled at Wang Yan and led the way, her graceful figure causing Wang Yan's throat to tighten. Xu Sanshi, oblivious to the world, teased, "If this auctioneer Qingya stayed with Teacher Wang any longer, I'm afraid Teacher Wang's soul would be stolen away. Tsk, she is indeed very voluptuous and mature."

No one paid him any attention. Even Bei Bei was reminded of the day when Xu Sanshi completely crushed Shrek's pride, so she snorted and followed the group.

"What nonsense! What do I like about women? You? And you're giving me attitude." Xu Sanshi muttered a couple of times and quickly followed.

The path into the auction house was the same as last time, except this time there were three more inner court disciples, and the journey was even more arduous.

Only after walking to the very back did two girls in long gold dresses come forward to greet everyone. They first bowed to everyone, and then exchanged information with Qingya.

After receiving the information, one of the girls turned around and pressed her right hand lightly against the wall. A wave-like pattern of light rippled outwards, and after stabilizing, a horizontal path of light appeared, sweeping down across the girl's palm.

The advanced palm print unlocking technology left the Shrek Academy students completely stunned. Even He Caitou, who came from the Soul Guidance Department, had never seen such high-tech stuff before.

After all, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department only researches war equipment, pursuing high lethality and power. Why would they research other technologies?

With a series of actions by the girl in the golden dress, the wall slowly opened, revealing a white jade passage.

Although it cannot compare to the luxury outside, it has an elegant and noble feel.

Qingya explained from the side, "This is Auction Hall No. 1, where we hold our top-level auctions. Only the most distinguished guests are invited to come and participate in the bidding."

Walking along the passage, there were several small doors on both sides. Qingya led the group to stop in front of door number seven, looking somewhat hesitant.

Hall 7 was reserved specifically for Shrek Academy, while Hall 8 was reserved for Wang Dong'er.

But Wang Dong'er was both a private VIP and a student of Shrek Academy, and Wang Yan's attitude was clearly dismissive...

"Auctioneer Qingya," Wang Dong'er began, "Is this my private box?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, VIP Wang Dong'er, this is Shrek Academy's private room, yours is room number eight."

"Are the two private rooms connected?" Wang Yan asked.

He didn't want Wang Dong'er to bring people over, nor did he want to lose Shrek Academy's initiative. If the two private rooms could be connected, that would be a solution.

Qingya didn't know why Wang Yan, as a teacher, would have such a disagreement with the students, but she also knew Wang Dong'er's identity. As a service staff member, her job was to satisfy the guests, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Distinguished guests, please wait in VIP rooms number seven and eight. Our Starlight Auction House will definitely make sure you leave satisfied."

With that, Qingya took small steps and left.

Wang Yan squinted, sighing inwardly.

What is Wang Dong'er thinking? Ever since the incident with the Grim Reaper, she has been acting very strangely... Could it be that the incident with the Grim Reaper has affected her devotion to Shrek Academy?
