Chapter 446 (2/2)

“Go away, you idiot!”

“...”

“Ye Lang, I’ll tell you one more time--- I don’t like you and please stop being weird!”

“I like you, that’s my business… What has that got to do with you?”

“...”

...Yep, this frigid girl was Li Yue. Once upon a time, due to a misunderstanding at a consultation with a fortune teller, Ye Lang attempted to court Li Yue for years. However, he then suddenly decided to stop and since then they never met.

Ye Lang wasn’t intimidated by her, he was just too surprised to see this person after all these years.

Then again, it had been years and years. At least eight years! He could recognise her the moment they met because Li Yue had very unique eyes…

Li Yue’s pupils were different from regular humans, hers were silver!

This was also one of the reasons why Ye Lang had such a huge reaction. The hall was dim and seeing two silver eyes staring at you wasn’t the most pleasant experience.

Ye Lang decided to keep a safe distance from her just in case. He would be in deep trouble if she recognised him.

At the same time, Ye Lang realised the Tianji Armour he needed was well within his reach--- Li Yue was wearing the suit of armour!

Looks like the Li clan had passed their family heirloom to her. He wondered why they didn’t give it to one of their elder grandsons instead, for example Li Yan, the guy who took Ye Lang’s Romantic Floor for himself.

Everyone who knew about this was puzzled too. It didn’t make sense. Perhaps she was merely in charge of it for the moment!

At this point, Ye Lang had no plans to take the Li family’s Tianji armour so he didn’t care. He didn’t make any attempts to take it from her.

In reality, he couldn’t even if he wanted to. Only the owner of the armour can take it off him or herself. Even Ye Lang’s best alchemy tactics would not be able to pry the armour off her without her consent.

This was why Ye Lang did not even consider the Li family’s Tianji armour as an option. Stealing was impossible, and if he showed up at their mansion asking to borrow it, it didn’t even matter if the Li family would want to help Ye Lang--- the fact that he was currently a wanted criminal of the empire was enough for them to chase him out.

“Fuck, how could they auction that?”

After a couple of boring pieces, the auctioneer presented a very odd object, so odd even Ye Lang was puzzled.

It was a Guqin, a musical instrument Ye Lang had also once used. He’d placed it in the Romantic Floor as decoration. This Guqin was of great quality and had special alchemy formations on it, therefore it was valuable.

However, this was Ye Lang’s property. Why was it being auctioned off?

“This has once been used by someone we all know but we can’t name. We shall start with one thousand gold coins.” Ye Lang was surprised an instrument he played would be priced at a thousand gold coins.

This Guqin was worth only a hundred gold coins, yet its starting bid was a thousand here. That would mean its final bid would be higher!

Was he really THAT famous? Damn! Yay!

“One thousand!”
