Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 61 Auction

"Lingling recommended this to me, and I'm telling you, it's really good."

Upon hearing the name Ye Lingling, Jiang Li's memories of the Ye family clinic were unconsciously awakened.

It's worth noting that the first person Jiang Li encountered after arriving in Tiandou City was naturally Ye Lingling.

Thinking back to when I went to the Ye family clinic to apply for a job, and my memories of that girl.

Jiang Li couldn't help but let out a slight smile, something he hadn't expected.

Given Ye Lingling's personality, it's unbelievable that she would read such a storybook.

After Dugu Yan finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Li with great interest and couldn't help but speak up.

"Jiang Li, I haven't seen Lingling for so long, why don't we go find Lingling and play?"

Upon hearing this request, Jiang Li's gaze involuntarily fell upon Dugu Bo.

Seeing that the other party nodded slightly, Jiang Li and Dugu Yan also embarked on their journey to Ye Lingling.

After watching Jiang Li and Dugu Yan leave, Dugu Bo couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at Jiang Li's retreating figure.

"That silly girl Yan Yan, didn't you see Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned that girl from the Ye family? I just wonder if Xiao Li still has some lingering feelings for that girl? Given my relationship with that old man from the Ye family, it's not convenient for me to interfere. I hope the three of them don't cause any trouble..."

Meanwhile, when Dugu Yan brought Jiang Li to the Ye family clinic with great enthusiasm...

However, they discovered that the Ye Family Clinic, which was usually open year-round, had a sign that said it was temporarily closed.

This left Dugu Yan somewhat dumbfounded, as the Ye family's medical clinic was supposed to be open year-round.

It is indeed somewhat unusual that they have chosen to close down.

So Dugu Yan immediately found a passerby on the street and couldn't help but ask them.

"Hello sir, why is Ye Family Clinic closed? Are you aware of this?"

The passerby who was pulled aside was initially annoyed, but upon seeing that Dugu Yan and Jiang Li were dressed in extraordinary attire and possessed soul power, he immediately put on a slightly ingratiating smile and began to explain everything to Dugu Yan in front of him.

"Miss, it's obvious you've been away from Tiandou City for a long time. You're probably unaware of this matter. Originally, a young miracle doctor came to the Ye family clinic, but after he left a year later, the responsibility naturally fell on the shoulders of the original Ye family miracle doctor. However, a year ago, he suddenly claimed to be unwell, and the clinic has been closed for over a year."

After this explanation, Dugu Yan's face immediately paled.

He couldn't help but mutter with concern.

"How could that be? I ran into Lingling just two days ago. If her grandfather had something to say, he would have told me. No, I have to go find Lingling and ask her for the truth."

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's mutterings and combining them with her previous words, Jiang Li couldn't help but form a judgment in his mind.

It's highly likely that Ye Lingling's family will be fine.

The sudden decision to close the museum now is most likely because his identity has been traced back to Ye Renxin.

Various forces have been trying to put pressure on Ye Renxin, and Ye Renxin has most likely chosen to keep it a secret, even though he is the number one healer in the world.

Ultimately, he's just a Contra player, and more importantly, a Contra player who's not good at fighting.

Given the pressure from various forces, it's understandable that they would choose to close down.

So Jiang Li stopped Dugu Yan, who was about to go find Ye Lingling, and casually took out a small bag of gold soul coins and gave it to the passerby.

He then pulled Dugu Yan away while explaining the situation to her.

"Yanzi, haven't you noticed yet? Lingling can play with you normally and has never mentioned that her grandfather is sick, but the timeline starts from a year ago. What does that mean? I don't need to go into details, do I?"

Dugu Yan wasn't truly stupid; she immediately understood Jiang Li's implication.

There must be some powerful force putting pressure on the Ye family, but what Dugu Yan doesn't understand is...

Why would anyone choose to put pressure on the Ye family?

Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh, because the root of the problem might actually lie with him.

But Jiang Li did not choose to say these things out loud, before the matter was resolved.

He didn't want Dugu Yan to be troubled by this matter.

After the two returned, Dugu Yan couldn't wait to ask Dugu Bo about the matter.

"Grandpa! Is something really wrong with Grandpa Lingling? What exactly is the situation?"

Seeing that Dugu Yan had asked about this matter, Dugu Bo did not hide anything and slowly spoke.

"A year ago, the old man from the Ye family did indeed bear a lot of pressure, but now that we have returned, these things will naturally be resolved."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's gaze unconsciously swept towards Jiang Li.

Clearly, Dugu Bo's words were implying to Jiang Li that although the Ye family grandfather and grandson had previously borne a lot of pressure.

However, with Jiang Li revealing his strength in that battle of souls, and now his return...

The pressure they experience will naturally decrease gradually.

Upon hearing this news, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing that the Ye family grandfather and grandson were alright, Dugu Yan chatted for a while before going to rest.

Seeing that there were only two people in the hall, Dugu Bo came to Jiang Li's side, patted him on the shoulder, and slowly spoke.

"Xiao Li, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Given Ye Renxin's status, those forces can only put pressure on him at most; they won't actually take action."

Jiang Li still felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing these words.

Because he knew that the Ye family grandfather and grandson had indeed treated him well, but they had suffered an undeserved disaster because of him over the past year. Fortunately, it didn't cause any irreparable consequences, otherwise Jiang Li would probably find it hard to let go of this guilt.

At the same time, Jiang Li also felt a growing sense of disgust for the behind-the-scenes actions of those powerful forces.

After reassuring Dugu Bo that he was alright, Jiang Li returned to his room.

As Jiang Li looked outside, a thought couldn't help but arise in his mind.

"Since you prefer to act in secret, then I will reach a point where you dare not even approach!"

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the auction arrived as scheduled.

Dugu Bo and his grandson, along with Jiang Li, arrived quite early, and they also encountered Ye Bo and his grandson.

Upon seeing Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan immediately sprang into action and pounced into Ye Lingling's arms, pinching her cheeks and whimpering all the while.

"Lingling, why didn't you tell me your clinic closed down? Don't you even consider me your best friend anymore?"

Faced with Dugu Yan's actions, Ye Lingling could only smile helplessly and then explain.

"It's because I've been studying medicine with my grandfather lately, and we've encountered some insurmountable obstacles, so my grandfather took me into seclusion for a while."

This was clearly a evasive answer, but Dugu Yan knew that the other party didn't want her to, but couldn't help herself. She made Ye Lingling promise not to lie to her in the future.

After seeing Jiang Li choose to demonstrate his strength, Ye Renxin gave him a look that told him not to worry about him.

But the more this happened, the more Jiang Li smiled on the surface, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.

At the same time, the appearance of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo broke this atmosphere.

Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, a small head popped out from behind him, looking at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and couldn't help but speak.

"Hello, sisters! It's been a year! Have you missed Rongrong?"

When Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling saw Ning Rongrong, who was only seven years old, they couldn't help but come to her side, rub her little head, and then reply earnestly.

"Of course I do! Does Rongrong miss her older sister?"

Yes…

Because of Ning Rongrong's appearance, the group focused their attention on the three girls, and no one paid much attention to Jiang Li.

After chatting for a while, the group entered the adjacent VIP rooms.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. The annual auction in Tiandou City is officially beginning, and the first item up for auction is something that will surely generate a lot of excitement..."
