Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 146 Exposure

Several girls covered their mouths and chuckled at the sight. Ji Lin, Bei Bei, and Dai Yueheng exchanged glances and shook their heads. Teacher Wang Yan was too innocent; this was unacceptable.

Qingya and Wang Yan sat together chatting. Qingya took the initiative to start a conversation, and Wang Yan became more talkative as they talked, and his tense emotions relaxed a lot.

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, leaving Ji Lin and the others dumbfounded. They had never seen Teacher Wang Yan so engrossed in a conversation, as if he had completely forgotten about Ji Lin and the others around him. Wang Yan had a smile on his face and his eyes sparkled with pleasure.

At this moment, Wang Yan was no longer a teacher, and Qing Ya was no longer an auctioneer; the two communicated sincerely like friends.

Xu Sanshi sidled up to Ji Lin, Bei Bei, and Dai Yueheng and whispered, "This Qingya auctioneer is amazing! She has Teacher Wang Yan completely under her thumb."

This time he learned his lesson and kept his voice down so that only Ji Lin and a few others beside him could hear it.

Ji Lin and the others exchanged glances and nodded in unison. He was indeed impressive, but Teacher Wang Yan was too incompetent and was easily defeated.

Xu Sanshi said softly again, "If I had that skill, I would have won over Nannan long ago, ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh!" He then sighed.

Ji Lin and Bei Bei both gave him a disdainful look. This sycophant of his dared to try and emulate the elegant auctioneer.

"Teacher Wang, our Starlight Auction House is planning to expand our business to Shrek City. Do you have any suggestions?" Qingya said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin and the others' eyes lit up; something was up!

Even the girls perked up their ears, clearly understanding the subtext in Qingya's words.

Wang Yan was taken aback. "Starlight Auction House is coming to Shrek City? That's great! However, there seem to be quite a few auction houses in Shrek City. The competition will be quite fierce."

Qingya smiled and said, "Our Starlight Auction House has never been afraid of competition; we believe in our own strength. If I am fortunate enough to go to Shrek City, I wonder if I could contact Teacher Wang?"

"Of course," Wang Yan said almost instinctively.

Qingya raised her hand and handed a small metal box to Wang Yan. "Please accept this little gift, Teacher Wang. It's a voice transmission soul tool. It's made in pairs. I have one too. As long as we're within a hundred miles, we can contact each other through it. If you need any help from me while you're in Star Luo City, you can contact me."

Wang Yan accepted the small gift, glanced at Qingya, and found that Qingya was also staring intently at him. He immediately felt a strange sensation in his heart, nodded, and put away the soul communication device.

Ji Lin looked at Bei Bei and the others, and said softly, "It's settled."

Beibei nodded. "It's safe."

Several girls were also whispering among themselves, clearly realizing that Teacher Wang Yan's spring had arrived.

Only Wang Yan himself was still in a daze.

The onlookers could all see that the elegant auctioneer was clearly interested in Teacher Wang Yan and was even preparing to follow him to Shrek City. She had even left her contact information with Teacher Wang Yan, but judging from Teacher Wang Yan's expression, she obviously hadn't realized it yet.

Given Teacher Wang Yan's personality, I hope he doesn't get so engrossed in his research when he returns to Shrek Academy that he completely forgets about Auctioneer Qingya and misses out on this opportunity.

Ji Lin and Bei Bei decided to return to Shrek Academy to remind Teacher Wang Yan not to forget to contact Auctioneer Qingya. Ji Lin also decided to give a helping hand and talk to Xu Jiujiu after the competition to send Auctioneer Qingya to Shrek City to expand the market.

Just then, the entire room was suddenly enveloped in a layer of gold. Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the soul guidance screen opposite the sofa.

A soft, non-glaring golden light emanated from the room, obscuring everyone's vision. A faint golden glow also emanated from every corner of the room, instantly adding a touch of nobility to the originally warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Qingya said, "Distinguished guests, our auction is about to begin."

The golden light on the soul-guided screen gradually faded, and a melodious voice rang out, "Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Starlight Auction House's premier auction. Today, we will be presenting nine precious items for your enjoyment. The items will be displayed in ascending order of value. We hope you will enjoy them."

The Soul Guidance Screen became clear again, and the previous platform was now covered with a faint white layer. In the center of the platform stood a girl wearing a red dress.

The girl appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, her beauty comparable to Jiang Nannan's. Moreover, being a few years older than Jiang Nannan, she had an exceptionally well-developed figure. A red gauze dress accentuated her fair skin, giving her a perfect appearance. Strangely, there was no auction platform on the platform she was on.

"Distinguished guests, I am your auctioneer, Jiu Jiu, and it is my honor to host this top-level auction. Your time is precious, so let's begin the auction. Now, please enjoy our first lot."

As she spoke, she smiled sweetly and performed a complex yet very elegant curtsy, gesturing with her right hand. Instantly, the scene shifted, and an item was displayed on the soul-guided screen covering the entire wall.

No wonder there was no auction platform; this item was practically an enlarged image! It was displayed in minute detail on a ten-meter-wide wall.

Dai Yueheng asked with some surprise, "Why is this auctioneer behaving in the court etiquette of the Star Luo Empire?"

Dai Yueheng grew up in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and entered Shrek Academy after the age of twelve. Therefore, he had never met Xu Jiujiu or Ji Lin. His first meeting with Ji Lin was at Shrek Academy.

Qingya glanced at Dai Yueheng with some surprise. She was astonished that Dai Yueheng knew the court etiquette of the Star Luo Empire. She then said, "This distinguished guest has a good eye. Auctioneer Jiujiu is the chief auctioneer of our Starlight Auction House, and also the only gold-level auctioneer. However, she only wears her gold auction robes when there are items worth over a hundred million gold coins. In addition, Auctioneer Jiujiu is also the youngest sister of the current emperor. However, she has stated that in the auction house, her identity is only that of an auctioneer. Therefore, we do not address her as Your Highness."

At this moment, Xiaoxiao seemed to remember something and blurted out, "The princess of the Star Luo Empire, isn't that the class monitor's fiancée?! Ah!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized what she had said, and quickly screamed and covered her mouth with her hand.
