In the auction hall of the Qian family in Eastern Regions City, in a room, Qian Meihua was looking through the account books.

After each auction of the Qian family, the host has to keep a record of the accounts, and the people who organize the scene are all veterans, and the host does not need to take care of it.

"Smack!"

Qian Meihua closed the account book and breathed a sigh of relief, the things of the day were over, as before, the auctions she presided over were all sure to make money, but they made less than before.

There was another thing she didn't quite understand, and that was the piece of wood that was sold for three thousand taels.

As far as she knew, although the wood was of little use, her father, who is now the head of the Qian family, kept the stone in his own room.

Also, the scale and budget of this auction were not as large as now, but after the Qian family owner knew that this auction was held in Dongyu City, he wanted to make this auction bigger anyway, and strongly requested that his daughter Qian Meihua be the host of this auction.

Moreover, the owner of the Qian family wanted to add an auction item to it anyway, that is, the piece of wood and arranged the introduction and starting price. Regarding her father's request, Qian Meihua reluctantly agreed.

"Dad, what the hell does he want to do......" Qian Meihua was very puzzled.

"Oh, what is the problem that is so difficult for Miss Qian! Why don't you say it, and I'll help you think of a countermeasure?" A cynical voice suddenly came from behind Qian Meihua.

"What person!" Qian Meihua was startled, and subconsciously threw the ledger in her hand over.

"Smack!"

"Don't get excited!"

The speaker said timidly.

"Is it you?" Qian Meihua said coldly.

The person who came was Lu Shuangyang, after the auction was over, Qian Meihua's figure disappeared into the dark corridor, Lu Shuangyang suddenly stood up and said to Le Xueqing: "You wait for me here, I have something to figure out." ”

"You ......"

didn't wait for Le Xueqing to agree, and ran away directly.

"How did you find this?" Qian Meihua asked coldly.

As for why Qian Meihua knows Lu Shuangyang, it is actually very simple, Qian Meihua will learn about the local situation before going to a place to hold an auction, and Lu Shuangyang is undoubtedly the focus of the Eastern Regions recently, and it is normal for him to recognize Lu Shuangyang.

Lu Shuangyang rubbed his nose and said, "After you appeared at the venue, there was a faint scent of roses in the air, which disappeared after you left, I think it should be the smell of perfume on your body." I'm walking around this clubhouse seemingly out of nowhere, but I've been looking for this smell......"

"Are you a dog?" Qian Meihua's eyes stared at Lu Shuangyang like knives.

"It's just a little more sensitive than the average person. Lu Shuangyang smiled slightly.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Qian Meihua stared at Lu Shuangyang vigilantly.

"Don't be so nervous," Lu Shuangyang hurriedly waved his hand, "I just have something I want to ask you." ”

"Ask what?"

Lu Shuangyang took out the piece of wood he had just photographed and asked very seriously, "What is the origin of this piece of wood?"

"Hehe......" Qian Meihua sneered, "Is it the first time for Mr. Lu to participate in the auction? Don't you know that we will keep the origin of the auction as secret as possible." ”

Lu Shuangyang nodded, Lu Shuangyang agreed, and continued: "But this is the auction item that your Qian family took out by itself, and I think your Qian family also has a certain understanding." I'm not asking now as an auction participant, but only in the name of Lu Shuangyang. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know. Qian Meihua said coldly.

"What, this is obviously your thing, but you told me you didn't know!"

Lu Shuangyang walked up to Qian Meihua excitedly, grabbed her slender arm, and put his face in front of her.

"You! you ......"

Lu Shuangyang's sudden excited behavior startled Qian Meihua, especially when Lu Shuangyang's face was so close, which made her even more overwhelmed and her face flushed.

"Mr. Lu, please calm down!"

An old and majestic voice suddenly sounded, frightening Lu Shuangyang's back.

"Old butler?!"

Qian Meihua was surprised and delighted.

Lu Shuangyang hurriedly turned his head, only to see an old man who was not dressed gorgeously, with a wrinkled face and white hair standing here.

Lu Shuangyang realized his gaffe at this time, and hurriedly let go of Qian Meihua's arm, and the slender arm left a light red mark because of Lu Shuangyang's hard grasping.

"It's rude. Lu Shuangyang bowed slightly to the two of them and turned around to leave.

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. The old housekeeper suddenly stopped Lu Shuangyang, and his face changed to a kind smile.

"The original owner of the wood, who is the current head of our Qian family, wants you to go over and talk. ”

"Oh?!" Lu Shuangyang was also slightly surprised, it turned out that the stone was originally the property of the Qian family master, he didn't go to him, but he looked for himself in turn.

Qian Meihua was also stunned and asked, "Did my father and his old man also come to this Eastern Regions City?"

The old butler smiled and nodded.

"Let's go, Mr. Lu, please come with me. ”

Lu Shuangyang didn't think much about it and followed.

Lu Shuangyang followed the old butler around the auction hall, and finally came to a remote room.

"Smack!"

The old butler knocked softly at the door.

"The head of the house, someone brought it here. ”

"Let him in. The man inside said calmly.

The door opened, and a peaceful middle-aged man sat behind a desk.

"You go down first. "The middle-aged man refers to the old housekeeper.

"Yes!" said the old butler, and closed the door by the way.

"You may be seated. "There was an empty chair on the other side of the desk.

Lu Shuangyang sat down unceremoniously.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am the head of the Qian family. ”

Lu Shuangyang was very calm on the surface, but he thought in his heart: I know that your Qian family has a lot of money, but there is no need to show it by name......

"I'm Lu Shuangyang, you know. ”

Qian Duo nodded and said, "You want to know the origin of that piece of wood?"

"That's right!" Lu Shuangyang put the wood on the desk, "I want to know where you got it." ”

Qian Duo shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, you know in your own heart where you got this piece of wood from, don't you?"

Lu Shuangyang clenched his fists and said very heavily: "Maybe it's just as you said...... But I want to be confirmed anyway. ”

"Okay," Qian Le picked up the wood and played with it for a while before putting it back, "This piece of wood was brought out from the fierce land of the first day order, the Red Blood Grassland. ”

"Hmmm......"

Qian Duo stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "About twenty-five years ago, our Qian family led people into the Red Blood Grassland by ourselves, and I was not the head of the family at that time, and I was among the people who entered. Within a few days, due to various accidents, more than half of us were killed and injured. I still remember that day, I was separated from the others, and I was being chased by a powerful spirit beast, and I was very tired, very tired, and I was running and running, and I suddenly tripped over!"

"But you're not dead......," Lu Shuangyang said leisurely.

"It was the thing that tripped me that saved me," Chando continued, "and what tripped me was something that jutted out of the ground like a tree root, and the spirit beast stopped in front of it, not daring to take another half step...... After a while, he even turned around and left. I thought that spirit beasts were afraid of this thing, so I wanted to get my hands on it, but no matter what method I used, I couldn't hurt it in the slightest...... In the end, I gave up and bowed to it three times as a sign of saving my life, but I didn't expect that after I worshipped, the thing would fall off a small piece of itself. I took that small piece and continued to search my way, and I didn't encounter any more attacks from large spirit beasts. ”

"That little thing that fell off is this little piece of wood in front of me. ”

"That's right, when I get it back, I'll keep it as a treasure. ”

"But why are you putting it up for auction?" Lu Shuangyang was puzzled.

"Because I'm curious. ”

"Curious?"

"I wanted to know more about the Red Blood Meadows, and for some reason I couldn't go back and explore. And you Lu Shuangyang, I went to the Red Blood Grassland more than a year ago, and when I knew that there was going to be an auction here, I decided to sell this thing, because if you really know something, you will definitely see that this thing is special and buy it, and then send someone to your place to investigate. ”

"But you didn't expect me to look for Qian Meihua. That's why you called me. ”

Qian Duo nodded.

"But what if some idlers buy it?"

Qian Le explained: "I specially sent one of our people for this matter, and if other people want to buy this thing, they will make a bid. ”

"Hehe," Lu Shuangyang smiled, "Jiang is still old and spicy!"

"Okay, I'm done," Qian Le looked at Lu Shuangyang seriously, "It's your turn, do you know what this thing is?"

Lu Shuangyang picked up the wood and put it away, and said helplessly: "I don't know what this thing is, the reason why I care about this thing is only because I saw something similar to the root you just mentioned more than once in the Red Blood Grassland." ”

"Is that all you have?" Qian Le was a little disappointed, everyone in the Qian family has a businessman's heart, as a businessman, what a sad thing it is for a businessman to pay and not be satisfied.

"However, there is such a rumor circulating on the Heavenly Steps," Lu Shuangyang suddenly said, "As long as you unlock the secrets of the Fierce Land, you will get unexpected things, and those tree roots that emerge from the ground are the key to unlocking the secrets of the Red Blood Grassland." ”

"Unexpected returns?" As a businessman, even if you haven't taken over the business yet, you can get excited to hear that the business will bring a high income.

And at this time, Qian Duo is in that kind of excitement.

"Why don't we two cooperate!" Lu Shuangyang said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Even if your Qian family is the first family of the first heaven order, you should understand that even you can't deal with the sudden situation of the red blood grassland...... So why not team up with other Maisons?"
