Chapter 18: Cloud Palace Reunion
After leaving his masterpiece on the crystal cabinet, Qingkong turned his head to the green-clothed girl in the front row, looking as if nothing had happened. Suddenly www.biquge.info he noticed that the girl in green was a little surprised on her iceberg-like face, so he followed her gaze.
It turned out that the cold air on the crystal cabinet was getting thicker and thicker, and the cold air was wafting out of that slit.
Qingkong unconsciously glanced at the ice spirit in the crystal cabinet, and suddenly he showed an expression of disbelief.
The eyes of the elves in the cabinet were now open, and they were a color that was bluer and deeper than any sapphire, so deep that it made him feel like he had fallen into a bottomless water.
The steward turned sharply, his eyes meeting the blue eyes that were close to him, burning as cold as ice.
He trembled and wanted to call someone, but it was as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
The VIPs in the main hall also noticed that the chief manager's expression was abnormal, so they all looked at the crystal cabinet.
"Click...... Click......"
The sound of crystal shattering resounded in the main hall, and the crisp sound eroded everyone's nerves little by little.
Everyone was amazed to see the spider web-like cracks suddenly appear on the crystal cabinet, and although they didn't understand what was happening, they knew that it wasn't a wonderful thing.
By the time the manager finally reacted and shouted "Someone" in his mouth, it was already too late.
The crystal cabinet that was incomparably hard in his heart instantly turned into powder, and the ice elves inside slowly stood up, the ice cubes on their bodies slid down on the booth, the tall figure was matched with tulle, and the white skin was looming, but no one in the hall would have crooked thoughts at this time.
As the elf slowly stood up, the temperature in the main hall dropped suddenly.
Qingkong looked at the female elf who was already unrestrained, and his heart also felt a chill.
He really didn't expect that a small crack would release the imprisoned ice elf, if she used any magic at this time, with his three-legged cat's kung fu, wouldn't she be planted here?
"Bang ......"
The door to the main hall was slammed open, and several bodyguards who were as strong as cattle finally rushed in. But the moment they opened the door, the ice elves on the booth suddenly turned around and disappeared on the booth as if the ice and snow had melted, leaving only a biting cold snap and a pair of incredible eyes.
It's just that what everyone didn't pay attention to was the jade ring that disappeared with the female elf.
The scene in the main hall was a little chaotic, and some of the dignitaries did not know what was happening, and in the blink of an eye, the slaves on the kung fu booth disappeared and were replaced by a group of panting strong bodyguards.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up and chase it! Her magical abilities are still in the recovery stage, and she definitely won't be able to run far. The Governor shouted hysterically.
The bodyguards then hurriedly ran out to chase the disappeared elven slaves.
"Waste ......"
With an angry expression on his face, the manager slowly approached the crystal cabinet that had been reduced to a pile of powder, but there was nothing on it except a pile of magic ice.
Qingkong watched the manager walk towards the crystal cabinet, and his heart suddenly tightened. Although no one except the master forge knew that it was his secret weapon, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and he was still a little worried.
However, the manager didn't seem to find any clues, and when he turned around, his face was no longer flattering, after all, hundreds of thousands of gold coins were missing, and he was still mainly responsible.
The manager said in a deep voice: "Distinguished guests, I am very sorry, due to some small circumstances, this auction ends here. ”
Hearing the manager's lukewarm words, although the VIPs in the main hall were a little dissatisfied, they also saw such a strange thing that had happened just now, so they all got up and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.
Qingkong dragged his body slumped on the chair, stretched lazily and left with the flow of people with the golden fat man.
When he reached the door, he glanced at the steward with a gloomy face, a wicked smile on his face, and then quickly drowned in the crowd.
But Qingkong didn't know that his actions were clearly seen by people in a hidden position on the second floor.
"Heh, ......" a gloomy voice sounded in the corner.
On the way back to the Cloud Palace after leaving Willy Restaurant, Qingkong was in a good mood, and kept humming a little song in his mouth.
The fat golden man behind him seemed to be still thinking about what had just happened, and muttered to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
"What's a pity? even if it is sold to you, you will have to have a life to enjoy it," Qing blanked his eyes and continued, "I didn't see that the elf disappeared for a moment, and she couldn't even see a shadow, because she lost most of her magic, or else...... Hum. ”
When the golden fat man heard Qingkong's words, he nodded unconsciously after thinking about it, looked at Qingkong who was still humming a little song, and said in his heart: When did this kid become so clever...... Suddenly, he remembered a cold expression in the sky at the auction just now, and his expression was suddenly sluggish, could it be ......
As soon as he returned to the Cloud Palace, he returned to his room and lay on the bed thinking about the events of this day.
Sky realizes that he has changed.
In the past, when others called him a waste behind his back, he always ignored it indifferently, thinking that he was used to the praise of that person and the contempt for himself.
But today, he finally found that he didn't care, but the anger in his heart was not ignited.
Qingkong took out a blue necklace from his bosom, held it in his palm, and stared.
The necklace was originally an unknown gemstone in the shape of the moon, and even the city's famous jewellers were unable to identify what kind of gemstone it was. At the moment there is only half in his own hands, and the other half is in that person's place. It is said that this necklace is inextricably linked to his mother.
"Mother...... "Qingkong muttered to himself about the man he had never met.
"Knock Knock ......"
His thoughts were interrupted by a faint knock on the door, and he put the necklace in his arms, his cynical expression returning to his face.
"Come in. Qingkong said with a grin.
The door was gently pushed open, and it turned out to be Ruhr, the chief butler in charge of the affairs of the Cloud Palace.
Qingkong looked at Ruhl suspiciously, there was usually nothing important, and Rul would not look for him.
"Second Young Master, there are some important guests in the house, and the city lord asked you to go to the living room. Ruhl said as he hunched slightly.
"Father?" Qingkong was even more puzzled, he knew that his father had not taken care of the affairs of the city in recent years, and now who could make him pay so much attention to it, could it be ...... A few green figures suddenly flashed in Qingkong's head.
"Second Young Master?" Seeing that Qingkong didn't reply, Luer reminded tentatively.
"Well, I see, you go down. Qingkong put away his doubts and replied.
As soon as the butler closed the door, Qingkong immediately pulled out the red robe that symbolized their Qingyun City from the closet, and several dragons on it came to life. Standing in front of the bronze mirror and carefully dressed, even he didn't know why he paid so much attention.
Before he could enter the living room, he heard the sound of conversation inside, and when he entered, several people in green robes were the first to come into view. Looking at that cold and frosty face, Qingkong had a complicated expression: it was really them.
Sitting in the left row of seats in the living room were the few small nobles of the pastoral capital that Qingkong had met in the Willy Restaurant, in addition to the annoying young Mu Lun and the cold girl, there were also a few older people sitting in the front.
On the other side of the main seat, the first seat sat the father, and the second seat was actually Qingtian, and the Bodor University scholars could only be behind him, indicating that the family status of that person had been improved, and some of the remaining nobles sat scattered on the side.
Hearing someone come in, everyone looked at each other.
A few of the older people in the city of Pasture ignored the green eyes of the person who came in, turned around and continued to talk to the others.
Mu Lun saw Qingkong's eyes with a look of surprise at first, but after the entourage behind him whispered a few words, the surprise on his face was replaced by mockery, and the girl in green on the side didn't seem to care at all who was coming, and her face was still unfazed.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qingkong silently walked to a corner spot, he was used to the indifference of others to him.
"Sora, you're here. A calm voice rang out, mixed with a hint of excitement.
Qingkong looked over to the source of the voice, saw that it was the person, nodded, and continued to walk towards the corner.
Qingtian saw his younger brother walking towards the corner without looking back, and said, "Xiaokong, where are you going?"
Qingkong paused, pointed to the full seats in front of him, and sneered, "Do you want me to sit on the ground?"
As soon as these words came out, several aristocratic teenagers in Qingyun City leaned forward and backwards with laughter, and Mu Lun also snickered at Qingkong's ugliness.
Only then did Qingtian realize that there was no vacant place around him, his expression sank, and he said to a noble boy closest to him, "You, go and sit in the back." ”
The aristocratic boy's smile instantly froze on his face, and the fact that he could come here also explained his identity, but he was so humiliated in front of so many people, and his face could no longer be hung up.
"Young Master Qingtian, I have always been in the family meeting...... I'm sitting here. The aristocratic boy stumbled as he explained.
Qingtian didn't speak, and looked at the aristocratic boy who was already sweating with a blank face.
"Woo ......" The aristocratic boy finally couldn't resist the pressure of the sky, and after a long breath, he staggered to his feet and walked to the corner. As he passed by Sky's side, the angry expression on his face could tear Skylight apart.
Qingkong crooked his mouth and smiled, ignored it, walked to the empty seat and sat down with a big grin.
The chief guest was an elderly man, who should be about the same age as the Bodor University scholars, and he thought that the part of the greeting was over, and he began to talk about business, so he stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am a university scholar in the capital of the pasture, Mu Qing. On the order of the lord of Makino Castle, he brought two juniors to participate in the promotion of Ryugu a few days later. The old man explained his intention succinctly.
"Ryugu...... Promotion?"
Hearing the old man's words, Qingkong's mind kept disassembling these four words, then piecing them together, and then disassembling them again, and putting them together again......
