After dinner, Zhong Shenxiu just walked out of the cafeteria and was about to go to the soul guidance studio.
Just took three steps.
A black figure cut in from the side and stood in front of him.
Zhong Shenxiu stopped and raised his head.
Gu Yue.
She stood there, her long black hair gently blowing in the night wind, and a smile on her elegant and refined face.
That smile was very weak.
But Zhong Shenxiu was keenly aware of what was hidden in that smile.
He tilted his head.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yue looked at him and didn't answer immediately.
She recalled her observations over the past few days.
This child is different from everyone else.
He doesn't like nonsense, he doesn't like beating around the bush, and he doesn't like those pretentious politenesses.
When talking to him, you must be direct.
The goal must be clearly stated.
The key points must be made clear in one sentence.
Otherwise, he will find it troublesome and turn around and leave.
He really can.
Gu Yue has seen it.
Last week, a senior classmate came over to strike up a conversation. After talking nonsense for three minutes before getting to the point, Zhong Shenxiu walked away from her without even giving her a look.
So now, she doesn't talk nonsense.
She took a step forward and got closer.
There was a trace of undisguised evil intention in those dark eyes.
Like a hunter looking at his prey.
Just like child traffickers.
"Zhong Shenxiu."
She spoke, her voice was cold, but there was a hint of abduction in her tone.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Zhong Shenxiu looked at her and said nothing.
Gu Yue continued, "Eastsea City has an auction. Maybe there is something good."
She paused and added, "Don't you like Soul Tool? The Soul Tool at the auction is definitely much better than the ones on the market."
Zhong Shenxiu's eyebrows moved slightly.
Gu Yue noticed.
She gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
Sure enough, when talking to this guy, you have to hit the pain points directly.
Zhong Shenxiu was silent for two seconds.
"What time?"
he asked.
Gu Yue smiled.
The smile was more obvious than before.
"I'll pick you up at the school gate tomorrow!"
she said.
Zhong Shenxiu nodded.
Then he bypassed her and continued walking towards the soul guidance studio.
Gu Yue stood there, looking at his back.
The night wind blew her long hair and brushed her cheek.
She watched the golden figure gradually walk away, and the smile on her lips slowly faded.
"Interesting." She said softly, "Zhong Shenxiu, you will be mine!"
Then she turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
The next day.
Seven fifty-five in the morning.
School gate.
Gu Yue stood there, dressed in casual clothes, with long black hair tied into a simple ponytail, and the whole person looked fresh and neat.
She looked at the time.
Five minutes left.
With that guy's personality, he should arrive on time.
Or in advance.
She guessed correctly.
Seven fifty-eight.
A golden figure appeared in the field of vision.
Zhong Shenxiu was wearing dark gray casual clothes, with the black and white card box hanging around his neck, walking towards her neither fast nor slow.
He walked up to her and stopped.
"Let's go."
he said.
Gu Yue glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and walked away.
Zhong Shenxiu Follow up.
The two walked side by side.
The morning sun shines on me, bringing with it the warmth of early autumn.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few morning joggers pass by, and they can't help but look back at these two figures - a beautiful and refined black-haired girl, and a sharp-eyed boy with golden eyes. Such a combination attracts attention wherever they go.
But they themselves don't care.
"Aren't you curious where the auction will be held?"
Gu Yue asked suddenly.
Zhong Shenxiu opened his mouth, but swallowed the words almost instantly.
Gu Yue squinted his eyes. Although he was still smiling, Zhong Shenxiu could feel that if he dared to say "not curious", he would definitely be annoyed by Gu Yue all day long.
In his nine years at Dragon Fighting World, he has seen countless terrifying opponents.
Badi Holy Dragon's dragon breath, Iceberg Giant Dragon's freezing air, Black Death Dragon's dark erosion--
But nothing is more troublesome than the smile of the girl in front of me.
Because those opponents he can kill.
This won't work.
Zhong Shenxiu was silent for a second.
Then he forced himself to smile.
That smile was so stiff that even he thought it was fake.
But Gu Yue seems satisfied.
"Where will the auction be held?" Zhong Shenxiu asked.
The sound is flat, without any fluctuations.
Gu Yue Hearing this answer, the smile on his face deepened.
She nodded with satisfaction, then raised her head and took two quick steps forward.
With his hands behind his back, his black ponytail swayed gently in the morning light.
"It's at Eastsea Museum!"
There was a sense of pride in her voice, as if she had accomplished something great.
Zhong Shenxiu followed her half a step behind, looking at her proud look, the stiff smile at the corner of her mouth slowly faded, and she returned to her usual expressionless face.
But there was a hint of helplessness flashing through those light golden vertical pupils.
It was an emotion that even he himself was not aware of.
Gu Yue continued, "Eastsea City's auction is jointly organized with the museum. The museum has a special display area for auction items, and auctions are held regularly."
She turned back and looked at Zhong Shenxiu.
"Let's just go to the display area and take a look. There is also an announcement of when the auction will start."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded.
"Hmm."
he said.
Gu Yue looked away and continued to move forward.
The two of them walked in tandem, crossing the street, turning around the intersection, and headed east of the city.
Eastsea Museum.
This is a three-story white building located in the south of the city center of Eastsea City. It is a simple building. It consists of a main building and two auxiliary buildings. The architectural style is simple, with exquisite reliefs on the white exterior walls. Two tall stone pillars stand at the door, and a stone Soul Beast squats on the top of each stone pillar.
The morning light shines on the building, coating it with a light golden color.
The main building displays various rare Soul Beast specimens, witnesses of the development history of Eastsea City, and some items from various eras.
The annex building on the left is the auction exhibition area Xie Xie mentioned. As for the auction site, it is on the main Lou Gao floor.
The annex building where the exhibition area of the auction house is located does not require tickets and you can enter directly. There are many people inside to watch.
The annex building has four floors in total. Although it is only an annex building, it is also very large. From the outside, the building is two hundred meters wide.
Eastsea City As the second largest city in the eastern seaside area, this is the only auction house, so you can imagine its scale. The first to fourth floors are all auction display areas, which are displayed according to different categories and levels. Of course, some particularly rare and expensive items will only be displayed in special places, and not everyone can see them.
Gu Yue and Zhong Shenxiu walked to the door.
There were two uniformed security guards standing at the door. They took a look at the school uniforms they were wearing, Eastsea Academy, but did not stop them.
