Zhong Shenxiu stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body.
The bones made a slight crackling sound.
That is the sound of growing strength.
Zhao Tiezhu looked at Zhong Shenxiu with a hint of envy in his eyes.
He knows that Zhong Shenxiu is very strong.
In the entire first grade, everyone knows that Zhong Shenxiu is strong.
But every time he sees Zhong Shenxiu's concentration, devotion, and madness that seems to drain him dry - he is still shocked.
Zhong Shenxiu didn't notice Zhao Tiezhu's gaze.
He just walked to the window and looked out the window at the darkening sky.
A trace of expectation flashed in those light golden vertical pupils.
Eastsea Academy gate.
The setting sun has completely sunk into the horizon, leaving only a dark purple aftertaste on the horizon that is about to dissipate.
The street lights had just turned on, and the dim yellow light seemed a little weak in the getting darker night, and could only illuminate a small area under the feet.
Gu Yue stood there, her long black hair gently fluttering in the evening breeze.
She wore a plain white dress today, with the hem reaching her knees, revealing her fair and slender calves. This dress made her look much softer than usual, and her innate cold temperament seemed to be diluted a bit by this dress.
But her brows were slightly frowned.
Been waiting for a long time.
Gu Yue raised his hand and glanced at the exquisite silver watch on his wrist - six fifty-five.
She came nearly half an hour early.
Why did you come so early?
Gu Yue himself is not sure.
Maybe it's because of the look in that person's eyes.
Those light golden vertical pupils have an almost predatory focus every time they look at people. That kind of look makes people uneasy and makes them want to run away, but they can't help but want to get closer.
Gu Yue recovered his thoughts and stretched lazily.
Her waist was indeed a little sore.
Standing for too long.
At the moment when her arms were just raised above her head and her body was just stretching back -
A hand fell on her shoulder.
Gu Yue shuddered violently.
At that moment, all the hairs on her body stood up.
Her body reacted faster than her consciousness - the ice element instantly condensed in the palm of her hand, and the fluctuations of space faintly rippled around her. As long as there was another moment, she could teleport out and freeze the owner of that hand into ice.
But she didn't.
Because the moment she turned her head, she saw those eyes.
Light golden vertical pupils.
Under the dim street lights, those eyes were like two burning flames, carrying a palpitating sense of oppression, but also possessing some inexplicable attraction.
It's Zhong Shenxiu.
Gu Yue's tense body relaxed instantly.
The ice element in the palm quietly dissipated, and the space fluctuations around him also subsided.
She said angrily, "Why do you walk so silently?"
There was a hint of complaint, a hint of anger, and a hint of... relaxation that even she didn't notice in her voice.
Zhong Shenxiu took back his hand and said nothing.
He just stood there, looking at Gu Yue quietly.
His figure is indeed tall and tall among his peers, but standing in front of Gu Yue, he is still a bit shorter. But strangely, standing there, he feels like he needs to look up.
It's not about looking up at height.
It's about looking up in aura.
Gu Yue looked away uncomfortably when he was stared at like this.
"What are you looking at?" she muttered.
Zhong Shenxiu still didn't speak.
He just tilted his head slightly, and his pair of light golden vertical pupils swept over Gu Yue's body, from her long black hair, to her beautiful face, to her plain white dress, to her white calves.
That kind of gaze was so direct that it was almost rude.
But there were no distracting thoughts in Zhong Shenxiu's eyes.
He was just observing.
Observe this... person that interests him?
Zhong Shenxiu can feel that there is a very special aura about Gu Yue.
That kind of smell was different from everyone he had ever seen.
She had the coldness of ice, the heat of fire, the lightness of wind, the thickness of earth, the purity of light, and a kind of... fluctuation in space that made him feel faintly palpitating.
Just like the beloved child of the elements, he is favored by heaven and earth.
Zhong Shenxiu An idea flashed in his mind.
But he didn't think about it further.
Now is not the time.
"Let's go." Zhong Shenxiu finally said.
His voice was very calm, as if the person who just scanned the person from head to toe with his eyes was not him.
Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.
"Go? Where?"
"Auction." Zhong Shenxiu has already stepped forward.
Gu Yue stood there, looking at the figure gradually receding from the distance, and suddenly felt dumbfounded.
This man is really...
She shook her head and followed quickly.
The two walked side by side in the night.
The light and shadow of the street lamp intersected on their bodies, creating shadows that were growing and growing short.
Under the guidance of the staff, Gu Yue and Zhong Shenxiu walked through a long corridor covered with dark red carpets.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are inlaid with exquisite wall lamps, and the warm yellow light shines down, making the entire space elegant and warm. Every few steps, you can see a closed wooden door with a golden number plate inlaid on it, which glows with a restrained luster under the light.
The staff member is a young woman wearing black professional attire, tall and well-behaved. She walks half a step ahead and always maintains a well-placed smile.
"This way, you two, please."
Her voice was soft and pleasant, "The private room on the third floor is the best location in Eastsea Auction House. You can see the whole auction hall without being disturbed by other people. The private room is equipped with an independent quotation system. If you two like a lot, you can bid directly through the system, which is very convenient."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, with a calm expression.
The staff stopped in front of a door at the end of the corridor on the third floor.
"This is it." She pushed open the door and stepped aside, "Box No. 3, I wish you both a happy bidding."
Gu Yue walked in first.
The private room is not too big, but it is extremely well-appointed.
The side facing the auction hall is a whole piece of one-way perspective glass. Through the glass, you can clearly see every detail on the auction table below. In front of the glass are two large leather sofas, which are soft and comfortable. In the middle is an exquisite mahogany coffee table, with fresh fruits and a few bottles of drinks on it.
The most eye-catching thing is the exquisite Bidding Terminal on the side of the coffee table. The silver metal panel is inlaid with a spar screen, and below the screen are a few simple touch buttons.
Gu Yue glanced at the entire box, and then--
She walked generously to the sofa, fell backwards, and lay directly on the soft sofa.
"Well..."
She let out a contented hum.
Her long black hair was spread out and spread on the armrests of the sofa. Her plain white skirt moved up slightly, revealing more of her white calves. She closed her eyes and had a lazy expression on her face that was extremely relaxed.
