Chapter 572: Reason
The sixteenth prince walked a few steps quickly to his side, first glanced at Qinglian who was close at hand, and then turned his head to look at Qiao Yuan, forced out a smile, and asked with a gentle attitude.
"Daoyou, the younger brother fell in love with the White Lotus girl at first sight, and it was really difficult to let go, so he dared to ask Daoyou to cut his love. ”
"Although the junior brother can't take out 200,000 top-grade spirit stones for a while, I can pay Daoyou 190,000 top-grade spirit stones first, and the rest will be made up as soon as possible.
These words were said in an extremely low voice, and even he did not call himself the prince, but called himself the younger brother.
Such an attitude made Qiao Yuan's brows stretch a little, but it was impossible for him to hand over Qinglian.
What's more, in his eyes, Qinglian is not a commodity in the first place, how can it be traded with people as an object.
But when the words of the Sixteen Princes fell on the ears of others, they were completely stunned.
If it is really as he said, Qiao Yuan is a piece of spirit stone that does not spend, and he has a great opportunity to advance to the Yuan Infant Stage in vain.
Such a transaction is really a sure profit.
This time, Hongying didn't say much, after all, this was a private transaction between the two of them, and it had nothing to do with their Shengyuan Auction House.
The corners of Qiao Yuan's mouth hooked up slightly, thinking to himself, did Qinglian have such a great charm, why didn't he feel it before.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Qinglian, stared at the familiar face, and took a closer look.
In fact, Qinglian's appearance can be regarded as a first-class in the cultivation realm, but it is a pity that she is a disciple of Rulan, and she is still slightly inferior to her.
During Qiao Yuan's time in the Hehuan Sect, he has always been intimate with Rulan, and the beauty of the beauty has been seen for a long time, that is, the feeling has faded.
Coupled with the fact that Rulan and Qinglian are standing together, Qinglian's stunning brilliance will naturally be covered up a lot, and Qiao Yuan will not feel it.
Qinglian Xiu was wise, and she could see Qiao Yuan's thoughts at a glance, and a touch of blush appeared on her white face as white as snow, and she couldn't help but throw him a disgusted look.
The flush and the strange white eyes that appeared fell in the eyes of everyone, but there was some flirtatious and scolding, so many people cast sympathetic glances at the sixteen princes.
The sixteenth prince clenched his fists, eager to step forward and push Qiao Yuan away.
But at this moment, Qinglian tilted her head slightly and shifted her gaze from Qiao Yuan to the sixteenth prince.
Her expression returned to calm again, the flush that appeared slowly faded, and she gently opened her lips and said in a voice that was not at all emotionless, but extremely beautiful.
"You die, I won't agree, he ...... Nor will I agree. ”
After speaking, Qinglian took the initiative to take Qiao Yuan's arm and walked towards the door under the stunned gaze of everyone.
And the moment her cheeks took the initiative to hold Qiao Yuan, a touch of red glow flew on, and her crystal earlobes were even more bright as if they were about to drip blood.
Qinglian's appearance adds a touch of delicacy to her temperament of not eating fireworks, like a mature lotus.
Most of the male cultivators here had a fiery look in their eyes, staring directly at Qinglian as they watched them slowly leave.
At the same time, those people were both envious and jealous of Qiao Yuan, if their eyes could kill, I am afraid that he would have been cut by a thousand knives.
The sixteenth prince was completely stunned, and the extremely beautiful voice was still echoing in his ears, and his eyes were blank, and he really didn't understand why Qinglian said that.
"Huh...... The two are really talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect match. ”
After bypassing a few corridors and coming to a rather quiet water pavilion, Hongying stopped, glanced at the two of them, and smiled coquettishly.
Qinglian lowered her eyes slightly, quickly let go of Qiao Yuan's arm, kept a distance of one zhang from him, and said in an inaudible voice.
"I ...... I don't want that person to be haunted by you all the time. ”
Qiao Yuan naturally understood what Qinglian meant by taking the initiative to arm him, so he didn't say much, just nodded, and then he looked at Hongying, a smile appeared on his face, and said lightly.
"Hongying Daoyou, I want to borrow a quiet room. ”
"Daoyou is really anxious, it's okay, now is the time on the cusp, Daoyou can avoid the limelight in my Shengyuan Auction House. ”
Hong Yingsu covered her lips with her hands, her eyes were full of ambiguity, and her face showed an expression of "I understand you".
Her ambiguous eyes and expression made Qiao Yuan quite embarrassed, and even made Qinglian show a look of extreme shame.
Hongying thought that the two of them were just shy, so she didn't say much, and directly led the two of them through a garden to a relatively secluded courtyard, and said in an extremely ambiguous tone.
"This place is the guest residence of my Shengyuan Auction House, and there are few people who disturb it, so the two of you can live here temporarily. ”
Qiao Yuan nodded and was about to thank him, but Hongying blinked and said first.
"The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, the concubine body will not be disturbed, and the two of them do not have to send it, if there is anything, you can come to the front yard to find the concubine at any time. ”
After saying that, she twisted her slender willow waist and quickly disappeared from their field of vision, leaving the two embarrassed and messy in the wind.
"Qinglian Daoyou, let's go in first. ”
Qiao Yuan glanced at the exquisite attic in the courtyard, then looked at Qinglian, and said with a chuckle.
Qinglian naturally believed in Qiao Yuan's character, nodded without the slightest hesitation, and entered the attic with him.
Waving his hand to lay down several prohibitions, Qiao Yuan took off his mask, recovered his true appearance, looked at Qinglian, and was full of emotion for a while, but he didn't know where to start.
The two have been in exile in the Donglin Continent for seven years, but they didn't expect to see each other again today, but it was such a scene.
"You must be tempted to ask why I'm here?"
Before Qiao Yuan could speak, Qinglian laughed at herself and said first.
Looking at the self-deprecating look on her face, Qiao Yuan knew that this reason must not be simple, so he couldn't help asking.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Seven years ago, when I woke up, I had already arrived at Kyoto Castle and had been healing here, only to learn later that it was an elder of the Shengshi Shang Alliance who had rescued me. ”
Qinglian lowered her eyes slightly, put away the self-deprecating look on her face, and slowly returned to calm.
"That elder's cultivation is unfathomable, and he intends to accept me as a concubine, but I don't want to in my heart, that elder is also a righteous gentleman, and he didn't force me, but forbade me to take a step out of Kyoto City. ”
After Qiao Yuan heard this, he didn't know whether to sigh and make people, or if everyone has their own lives.
At the beginning, he was adrift in the sea for a period of time before he was rescued by Liang Yun, and then he recuperated from his injuries for nearly a year before he recovered his cultivation.
And Qinglian was saved by the elders of the Shengshi Business Alliance, although her life was fine, but now her situation is even worse, if Qiao Yuan didn't happen to come here to receive the reward, her future may fall into the hands of others.
"Originally, I was meditating and cultivating here, which was very good, but the elder was always interested in me and would come to visit me from time to time. ”
Qinglian showed a look of distress on her face, thinking that the elder's entanglement made her a little annoyed.
"After a long time, I was worried that one day, that person might change his mind and force me. ”
So, I tried to get out of this place, but I escaped three times, but he caught me again and again. ”
Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Qinglian's mouth, and there was a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
Until a month ago, he seemed to have lost patience, and threatened not to agree to be a concubine, but he would promise to be auctioned off. ”
"At that time, I thought that instead of living in fear in his hands, I might as well take a gamble, and maybe find a chance to escape from Kyoto Castle after being auctioned off. ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and he secretly said that the elder had a strange temper, and if he couldn't get it, he would sell people, could this be the nature of a businessman.
Also, the elder's cultivation is much higher than Qinglian's, and he can force her, so why would he do such a thing.
"I didn't expect to meet you in this way today, and I also cost you a lot of spirit stones, alas, when you return to the Nantai Continent, I will pay you back the spirit stones. ”
Qinglian couldn't help sighing, and said in her heart 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, when should I pay it back, I'm afraid that even if all the savings of Qinglian Hall are emptied, it won't be able to make up for this gap.
For the first time, this woman, who does not eat fireworks in the world, actually began to worry about Lingshi.
Qiao Yuan looked at her sad face, and suddenly smiled dumbly, only to feel that this woman who looked innocent also had a cute side.
"Lingshi doesn't need to worry, it's just that if you stay here, will there be any more branches?"
"Probably not, that elder is a big man with a face in the Shengshi Business Alliance, and the most important thing is reputation, and he will never do such a thing as going back on his word. ”
Qinglian shook her head without hesitation and said with certainty.
Qiao Yuan thought about it and felt that it made sense, he had paid for all the spirit stones, and the Shengshi Business Alliance should not smash his own signboard.
Then Qinglian asked about Qiao Yuan's experience over the years, and he also said it briefly, and finally talked about inadvertently capturing Kumahara and fighting with the Ten Thousand Ghosts.
"It turns out that the person is you, I heard someone mention it once before, but I didn't ask too much. ”
After listening to his story, Qinglian showed a look of amazement on her face, obviously she didn't expect that Qiao Yuan had just come to Donglin Continent for seven years, but he had already made a lot of fame.
"I came to Kyoto City this time, firstly, for the promise of Shengyuan Auction House, and secondly, for a long time to travel, for a long time, you will first be here for a period of time, and when the limelight is over, we will leave Kyoto City together. ”
Qiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said what he wanted to do.
Qinglian naturally would not object, and she also had a longing for the outside world in her heart, after all, she had been to the Donglin Continent for seven years, and she had never been anywhere except Kyoto City.
After that, they chatted about some trivial matters, Qinglian introduced the basic situation of Kyoto City to Qiao Yuan, and Qiao Yuan told her some customs and customs of Donglai Kingdom, and the two chatted quite happily.
A day passed in a blink of an eye, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian walked out of the attic together, and under her leadership, walked slowly towards the front yard.
Along the way, they met a lot of maidservants, and when they saw Qinglian, they all bowed down and showed great respect.
The two didn't stay long, and soon found Hongying who was walking in the garden.
At this time, Hongying is very different from yesterday, wearing a light yellow brocade dress, wrapping the extremely enchanting delicate body very tightly, with a smile and a smile revealing a sense of elegance and nobility, making people dare not imagine that she is the charming Hongying yesterday.
