Flinging Ten Million to Gift a Soul Bone; Zhu Lu: He's the Only One Who Ever Tricks Others

Ning Tian stepped forward, with Wu Feng following half a step behind her.

"Huabin," Ning Tian said casually, as if he had just happened to be passing by, "Is the identification all done?"

"The analysis is complete."

Ning Tian glanced at everyone's expressions and had already grasped about 70-80% of the situation.

Her gaze lingered on Wang Dong'er's face for a moment.

That piece of Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone.

Light attribute, Light Goddess Butterfly.

That's perfect.

Ning Tian withdrew his gaze, looked at Dai Huabin, and spoke directly:

"If Huabin doesn't want to owe the academy a favor, how about he owes the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect a favor instead?"

Wu Feng, listening from behind, felt a jolt in his heart. The young master was being far too direct.

Dai Huabin observed Ning Tian for a while, and he knew what Ning Tian was planning.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is not short of money; what Ning Tian lacks is a relationship with him and the possibility of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Pagoda.

He really didn't want to owe the academy too much at this time.

"It's not that it's impossible," Dai Huabin smiled slightly. "After all, we made an agreement last year."

Ning Tian felt a sense of relief. She smiled and said in a light tone, "Yes, after all, we still have an agreement."

Wu Feng watched the two of them going back and forth from behind, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Dai Huabin turned and gestured to the manager. "Exhibit number three in the second row, Millennium Whale Rubber, 6,000 Gold Soul Coin, I'll pay for it myself."

The steward responded and quickly opened the brocade box.

Six Gold Soul Coin were nothing to Dai Huabin.

The heir to the White Tiger Duke Mansion had tens of millions in travel expenses just before enrolling. He simply pulled out a Gold Soul Coin card from his pocket and handed it over for this small amount of money.

Millennium Whale Rubber has arrived.

It's actually ten thousand years.

Dai Huabin carefully put away the Whale Rubber without saying anything. Then he glanced in Wang Dong'er's direction.

Wang Dong'er was standing next to Xiao Xiao, and neither of them spoke.

Dai Huabin quickly calculated in his mind.

Wang Dong'er is the Light Goddess Butterfly, a light-attribute Martial Soul, and that Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone was almost tailor-made for her.

If she can fuse with this Soul Bone, her combat power will increase significantly.

Moreover, Wang Dong'er is now his teammate.

For him, his teammates getting stronger is only a benefit, not a drawback.

Dai Huabin turned around and looked at Ning Tian:

"Ning Tian, exhibit number five, the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone, nine million five hundred thousand. Help me bid on this one."

Ning Tian didn't hesitate for even half a second. "Okay."

She took out a golden glass token from her sleeve and handed it to the steward.

The token is engraved with the patterns of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which refracts a faint layer of colored light under the lamp.

The steward took it and checked it, confirming that it was correct.

"Nine and a half million Gold Soul Coin will be deducted from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's account."

The steward took out the left arm bone that emitted a soft golden light, put it into a special brocade box, and handed it over with both hands.

Dai Huabin took the brocade box and turned to walk directly towards Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er's pupils suddenly contracted when she looked at the brocade box in his hand.

"Here you go." Dai Huabin handed over the brocade box.

Wang Dong'er didn't answer.

She stared at the brocade box, then looked up at Dai Huabin, her lips moving slightly.

"This is..."

"The Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone is a perfect match for your Martial Soul."

Wang Dong'er swallowed hard.

Nine million five hundred thousand.

She wasn't unaware of the conversation. Ning Tian paid for the Soul Bone, but Dai Huabin was the one who bought it.

"I... I don't have that much money to pay back..." Wang Dong'er's voice was much lower than usual.

"I didn't ask you to pay it back."

"Then I don't want it."

After she finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back.

Xiao Xiao was extremely anxious beside her. "Dong'er!"

Wang Dong'er ignored her.

Dai Huabin wasn't in a hurry. He stood there holding the brocade box and said, "If you don't want it, then I'll throw it away."

"You dare?" Wang Dong'er glared at him.

"Throwing away nine and a half million is indeed a bit of a waste." Dai Huabin shoved the brocade box into Xiao Xiao's hands. "Xiao Xiao, you keep it for her."

Xiao Xiao caught it reflexively, then looked at Dai Huabin, and then at Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er's expression was complicated. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to refuse either.

To put it bluntly, it's about being obsessed with saving face.

Cui Yajie, suppressing a laugh, leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and whispered something:

"Keep it; she'll definitely open it and look at it secretly when she gets home tonight."

Xiao Xiao almost burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth.

Ice Empress paid no attention to these human intrigues; she was engrossed in studying the price tag on the Cold Iron Essence on the counter, feeling increasingly cheated the counter.

"Thirty thousand yuan! Thirty thousand yuan!"

Snow Empress reached out and lifted her off the counter. "That's enough, let's go."

"Damn it, they're selling something that's everywhere in the Far North for 30,000! Humans are so greedy in business."

"What does it have to do with you? You're not buying it anyway," Snow Empress said indifferently.

"I just can't stand it!"

The Treasure Appreciation Fair event is almost over.

Dai Huabin led the group toward the stairwell, and halfway there, Ning Tian caught up from behind.

"Huabin, is it convenient for us to chat for a bit now?"

Dai Huabin stopped and looked back at her.

Ning Tian's expression was serious, not just polite.

"Okay." He turned around and said to Zhu Lu, "Just wait for me back in the dorm."

Zhu Lu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Dai Huabin followed Ning Tian to the rest area on the other side of the second floor. Wu Feng hesitated for a moment behind him, but was stopped by a look from Ning Tian.

"Fengmei, you go first."

Wu Feng: "Yes."

She turned and followed Zhu Lu and the others, her heart pounding with anxiety.

The group went downstairs and exited through the main gate of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

A cool evening breeze blew by, a stark contrast to the stuffy heat on the second floor.

Xiao Xiao was still holding the brocade box in her arms, and Wang Dong'er walked beside her without reaching out to take it.

Cui Yajie followed behind Ice Empress and Snow Empress as they walked along the school's stone path toward their dormitories.

After walking about a hundred meters, Wang Dong'er suddenly spoke.

"Lulu."

Zhu Lu turned around. "Hmm?"

Wang Dong'er slowed her pace a little, allowing the Ice Empress and Snow Empress in front of her to create some distance between them.

"Aren't you afraid that Huabin will be tricked by Ning Tian?"

The question came suddenly, but Zhu Lu wasn't surprised at all.

She smiled.

"Given Huabin's personality, he's the only one who would lie to others."

Wang Dong'er was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Lu continued:

"Besides, it would be great if the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could become an asset to Huabin."

Xiao Xiao listened in stunned silence.

Cui Yajie also slowed down and glanced back at Zhu Lu.

None of them expected Zhu Lu to be so magnanimous.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Zhu Lu, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie didn't mind hanging around Dai Huabin.

In her eyes, a mere young sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect School probably wasn't even a threat.

Xiao Xiao leaned close to Cui Yajie's ear and whispered:

"Lulu's composure is too good. If I were her, I would have rushed over and pulled her back long ago."

Cui Yajie glanced at her. "You don't have a fiancé, what's the rush?"

"I'm so worried for Dong'er!"

"Shut up," Wang Dong'er said coldly.

Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue and dared not say another word.

Wu Feng followed at the back without saying a word. But she pondered Zhu Lu's words over and over again.

"He's the only one lying to others."

Was this statement sarcastic or trusting?

Wu Feng felt she needed to have a serious talk with the young master when she got back. Dai Huabin's cunning was probably deeper than they had anticipated.

As the group rounded the bend in the connecting road, the outline of the dormitory building came into view.

As Wang Dong'er walked, she suddenly glanced at the brocade box in Xiao Xiao's hand.

Just one glance.

Then she turned her head back and said in a stiff tone:

"Xiao Xiao, could you put that box in my dorm room for me?"

Xiao Xiao: "Oh."

Cui Yajie almost burst out laughing.

She knew it.
