The Law of the Jungle on Douluo Continent
The core city of Heaven Dou City is always busy with traffic and bustling with people.
The gilded Heaven Dou Auction House gate is located in the most prosperous area of Fang City.
The two jade lions as tall as one person at the door are majestic and majestic, with the texture of their manes carved to perfection.
The gatekeepers Guard are all of the Spirit King level, with long knives on their waists of the same standard, and their eyes are like hawks, scanning the passers-by.
Ordinary people are not even qualified to get closer than three feet to the door.
A carriage with low-key decoration but exuding exquisiteness was parked steadily at the door of the auction house.
As soon as the car curtain was lifted, Xiao Wu was the first to jump out. Her pink dress cast a layer of soft light under the light.
After landing, she spun around in a circle and glanced across the grand door, her eyes filled with starlight.
Following closely behind was Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in black and smart, with a posture as straight as a pine and a light and silent step.
There was a bit of scrutiny of the unfamiliar environment between his cold brows and eyes.
Ning Rongrong got out of the car with her skirt in hand, and Miss Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a natural aura.
Her chin was slightly raised, and she was already accustomed to the looks from around her.
The last person to come down was Lin Qingmo.
Moon-white robes, hair neatly tied with a jade crown, handsome eyebrows, and an aura as calm as a mountain.
He is obviously just a teenager, but he gives people a sense of bottomless heaviness.
"A-Qing, hurry up!"
Xiao Wu grabbed Lin Qingmo's sleeves and rushed forward, tiptoeing to the ground wanting to fly.
"Ning Rongrong said there are a lot of fun things here. This is my first time coming back to the auction house!"
"Run slowly, don't hit anyone."
Lin Qingmo smiled helplessly and let her drag her forward.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong followed quickly, one on the left and one on the right, like two guardians.
Guard, the gatekeeper, saw the battle from the corner of his eye. Instead of blocking it, he all bowed and saluted with such a respectful attitude that there was no fault in it.
Those who can come to the auction house in a carriage of this level must be rich or noble, and even if they have ten courages, they would not dare to offend.
The four of them walked to the gilded gate.
The heavy door was pushed open by two staff members from the inside, and a warm breeze wrapped in sandalwood and luxurious scent blew into the face.
Staff members in neat formal attire came quickly to greet him, bowing and handing over four pairs of exquisitely polished silver masks.
His tone was respectful but revealed a determination that was not negotiable.
"Four distinguished guests, Heaven Dou Auction House rules, all participants must wear masks to enter."
Xiao Wu reached out to take the mask, pinched the cold metal edge with his fingertips, and rubbed the dark patterns carved on it with his fingertips.
The eyebrows dropped on the spot, and the corners of the mouth were curled up so much that a bottle of oil could hang on them.
She moved closer to the three of them and whispered in a low voice.
"With this thing covering my face, I can't breathe evenly."
"It's a good auction, why are you doing this nonsense?"
Zhu Zhuqing took the mask and stroked the laces on the edge with his fingertips.
There was a layer of doubt in his cold eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.
She just stood there quietly, waiting for others to make a move.
Ning Rongrong is quite familiar with it.
She took the mask and flicked it with her fingers, clasping it on her face a few times and adjusting the tightness of the straps.
He also adjusted his position facing the smooth metal door next to him.
Only then did they come together to educate the three of them.
"Don't you understand this? Heaven Dou Auction House's rules are that everyone who comes in must wear this."
Lin Qingmo took the mask, rubbed the cold metal surface with his fingertips, and put the mask on calmly, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
His eyes swept across the group of people at the side entrance.
The leader's robe is embroidered with the prince's emblem of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, which is Prince Xue Xing.
He also wore a silver mask of the same style on his face and was being led to the VIP channel by the staff.
Soon, he withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and added in a low voice to Xiao Wu, who was still complaining about the stuffiness of the mask, breaking down the rules clearly, without any stiffness in the explanatory text.
"Ning Rongrong is just talking about the rules on the surface. Going deeper, there are three levels of truth."
Xiao Wu immediately came over, blinking curiously, forgetting to even complain, "What's the point? A-Qing, please tell me!"
"First of all, any auction item here can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. Showing your face is equivalent to putting your wealth on the bright side."
"Afterwards, I was targeted by desperadoes. At worst, I lost my fortune, and at worst, I lost my life."
"You see even Prince Xue Xing wears a mask according to the rules, you know that the auction house attaches great importance to the safety of guests."
"After all, if guests take pictures of something here and get into trouble, who will dare to come again in the future?"
Lin Qingmo's voice came out through the mask, with a slight smile, and fell clearly on the ears of the three people.
"Second, with anonymous bidding, no one knows your identity, so no one will be afraid."
"You don't dare to raise the price because of your status, and no one will deliberately raise the price to trick you. It all depends on the value of the lot itself, which is relatively fair."
"After all, if everyone knows that you are a member of the royal family, who would dare to steal something from you? How can the auction house earn commissions?"
"Third, this is the iron law of Heaven Dou City's largest auction house. Except for a very few people who no one dares to provoke, everyone else must abide by it."
"If the rules are established here, we can calm down the scene and allow those Soul Master and nobles from small families to feel free to come in and participate in the filming."
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly and suddenly realized. "So that's it. I thought it was just a mystery."
"Not everyone follows the rules!"
Ning Rongrong answered immediately, hummed, raised his chin high, and looked like "I am the best in the family".
"My father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa never wear this thing every time they come here. The people at the auction house don't even dare to say nonsense!"
Lin Qingmo laughed out loud when he heard this, and the corners of his lips raised a clear arc. The essence of the rule was revealed in one sentence.
"That's natural."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is ranked Upper Three Sects. He is as rich as anyone in the country and is the largest financier in the auction house."
"They can't afford to offend Sect Master Ning just because of this little rule."
"What's more, when Sect Master Ning travels, he is always accompanied by a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse like Sword Douluo. Even if his face is exposed, who would dare to attack him?"
"Rules have always been set for ordinary people. If you have enough strength, you can have immunity from the rules."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Rongrong's eyes instantly lit up, and he looked at Lin Qingmo with eyes filled with admiration.
"Brother Qingmo, you are so right, that's what my father said!"
"Whatever the rules are, strength is the last word!"
Xiao Wu also nodded, looking like he was being taught.
"So that's it. No wonder Prince Xue Xing has to wear a mask. It turns out that he's not strong enough."
Zhu Zhuqing also raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qingmo, a hint of approval flashed in his cold eyes.
She was born in the Star Luo Imperial Family and understands the reasoning behind this rule best.
If you are not strong enough, you have to obey the rules honestly.
If you are strong enough, the rules will be set for others.
This is the most basic rule of the Douluo Continent, the law of the jungle society.
