"That's it. What else do you want?"
"…" Seeing Lin Ray's nonchalant expression, Hong Yu's heart suddenly trembled. He subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but when he was about to do so, he realized that he was sitting on the chair and had nowhere to go.
However, he quickly reacted. After all, he was the head of Hong Lou and his mental strength was great.
"Then why did you come here this time?" Hong Yu probed again.
Looking at Hong Yu, Linley chuckled, then explained why he had come here. "The main reason I came here is to acquire the information I need. After acquiring it, I will leave. I won't stay here for too long."
"Oh, I see!"
Strangely, hearing Lin Ray's words, Hong Yu's heart inexplicably relaxed, as if the knife on his neck had disappeared.
Just like that, Hong Yu no longer had a trace of vigilance against Lin Ray. Then, the two of them began to speak freely without the awkwardness and unfamiliarity from before.
… … …
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, the sky outside turned dark and the dishes on the table were all finished. Looking at the smile on Lin Ray's face, Hong Yu felt much more at ease.
"Knock knock …"
Suddenly, just after the meal, while Lin Ray and the others were in a daze, a hurried knock on the door entered their ears.
"Who is it? Come in and talk!"
Hong Yu was very unhappy with the person who came to disturb them, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of Lin Ray. In the end, he could only speak softly.
"Zhi ya," the door opened and Xiao Nie tiptoed in. He held an invitation in his hand and said, "Head, someone from the Wan Bao Pavilion just came to pass on a message. They said that their auction will officially start tomorrow and they invited you to come tomorrow."
"They also said that this time, the auction will have a collection of very rare things and that you will definitely be interested."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed the invitation in his hand to Hong Yu and continued, "Here, this is the invitation they gave you."
"Wan Bao Pavilion?"
Hong Yu was stunned when he heard Xiao Nie, and then he pondered deeply. If there was one place in the entire Death City that didn't take Hong Lou seriously, then it was none other than the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
The Myriad Treasure Pavilion was the same as the Hong Pavilion. It was a huge system with many shops, restaurants, and many other facades.
Of course, this was not their main money-making project. Their most profitable project was the auction just now. It was held once every thousand years. Of course, this was in the past. In recent years, it had changed from a thousand years to five hundred years. Moreover, the items that were auctioned every time were very precious.
Privately, he also had a slave trading market. Although the slave trading market was not listed under the Wan Bao Pavilion, one could clearly find out the relationship between the two with a simple check.
Looking at the post, Hong Yu took it and frowned, looking irritated. "I didn't expect this guy to hold an auction again. It seems that this time they will make a lot of money."
"Uh …"
Xiao Nie's forehead was covered in sweat when he heard his master's words. However, he wasn't wrong. If it was in terms of wealth, then his Hong Lou really wasn't a match. In fact, he wouldn't even be a match for Hong Lou.
Fortunately, Hong Lou's main business was information. Otherwise, there really wouldn't be a place for Hong Lou in the Death City.
"Sigh! I'm so worried. "
After complaining, he ordered, "Since they are treating us, we must accept it."
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of Linley, and a bright light flashed through his eyes. He turned his head to look at Linley. "Fellow Daoist Linley, you heard it as well. There are many rare items in this auction. Why don't we go take a look and see if there's anything you need? If there is, then that's great. If there isn't, then we can just take it as taking a stroll. How about that?"
Hong Yu looked at Lin Ray with anticipation. Not only Hong Yu, but even Xiao Nie was the same.
"Do you want to go?"
Ignoring the expectant gazes of the two, he turned around and asked his two wives beside him, ignoring their gazes of anticipation.
"Yes, can we go?"
"Yes, we want to go, but we are afraid of delaying our husband's business." Seeing Ying speak, Bing quickly chimed in.
"You want to go?" Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Linley was startled. Laughing bitterly, he shook his head. Turning his gaze to Hong Yu, he said, "I heard you. Both of my wives want to go. Since that's the case, let's go take a look and see if there are any materials I want."
"Great!"
Seeing Lin Ray agree, Hong Yu almost jumped up from his chair in excitement. However, he soon noticed his own strangeness and smiled awkwardly. "Well, it's decided. We will go together tomorrow."
As he spoke, he turned to Xiao Nie and nodded with a face full of surprise.
In fact, to him, the biggest benefit of bringing Lin Ray was to prove to the other forces in the Death City that he had formed a friendship with the expert of the Annihilation Dragon and Tiger Sect. He could use Lin Ray's reputation to deter those who had long been uneasy about Hong Lou.
"Okay, I will go and prepare now." After speaking, Xiao Nie turned and left.
"Husband, shouldn't we go back?" At this time, Ying suddenly reminded Lin Ray.
"Yes, husband, we have been here for a day, and …" Seeing Ying speak, she quickly chimed in. "And the information you want hasn't been delivered yet."
"Hmm?"
Bing's words not only reminded Lin Ray, but also reminded Hong Yu. He was puzzled. This kind of thing had never happened before. According to the usual speed, after receiving the task, they would be able to deliver the information within two hours.
However, after such a long time, the person who went to check the information did not come back to report.
Suddenly, his body trembled. Hong Yu felt as if a monster that had been waiting for a long time was staring at him. The inexplicable fear and pressure made Hong Yu suffocate.
He raised his head with difficulty. When he saw Lin Ray's cold eyes looking at him, Hong Yu suddenly realized that the beast-like gaze belonged to Lin Ray.
"Oh, that … Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait a moment. I will go and check it myself. Give me five minutes. I will definitely deliver the information to you in five minutes." In order to not let the newly established friendship collapse, Hong Yu smiled awkwardly. After promising Lin Ray, he used his cultivation and teleported away.
"Hehe, it seems that husband's gaze scared Hong Yu!" Watching Hong Yu disappear, Ying looked at Lin Ray and teased him with a smile.
"Yes, husband's gaze was too scary. If Hong Yu's cultivation wasn't a little bit stronger, he would have had a nervous breakdown."
Lin Ray, "…"
Listening to his two wives' comments, Lin Ray was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly. "Oh my god, I didn't."
Of course, he wouldn't say that out loud. Lin Ray didn't refute the two people's words. He just waited quietly for the five minutes that Hong Yu promised.
… Five minutes.
"Zhi Ya," the door was pushed open. The gazes of Lin Ray and the other two were attracted to the door. They saw Hong Yu, who had left earlier, appear at the door.
However, when he saw the doubt and uncertainty on Hong Yu's face, Lin Ray was stunned.
"How is it? Did you get the information?" Lin Ray asked Hong Yu.
With a clang, the door was closed. Hong Yu raised his head and looked at Lin Ray. He hesitated and said, "I … I didn't find anything. But the IT Department promised me that in half a month, in half a month, we should be able to find the place with similar characteristics that you mentioned."
"You didn't find anything?"
Hearing this, Lin Ray frowned and looked at Hong Yu. That pair of cold eyes seemed to be able to see through Hong Yu.
After a few minutes, Lin Ray withdrew his gaze. A touch of disappointment appeared on his face. "It seems that you really didn't find anything!"
He didn't look at Hong Yu again. From his observation just now, Lin Ray was sure that Hong Yu wasn't lying. Because if a person was lying, then his expression couldn't be deceived.
"I'm really sorry, this is my Hong Lou's failure. In the future, I will definitely increase the surveillance."
After saying that, Hong Yu quickly promised Lin Ray, "Don't worry, I said half a month, so it will be half a month. I have already asked my disciples to spread the news. As long as they find the place that you described, they will immediately report it."
"Half a month?"
Hearing Hong Yu's promise, Lin Ray was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly, but in the end, he nodded. "Okay, half a month it is!"
With that, Lin Ray stood up and clasped his hands. "If that's the case, then I will take my leave first. I will be on time tomorrow."
"Okay, I will be waiting for you tomorrow." He clasped his hands.
After bidding farewell to Hongyu, he brought the two girls to a restaurant not far from Lihong Tower and stayed there.
The next day arrived very quickly. However, in the restaurant, Lin Ray was currently in his room. Ying and Bing were lying on the bed, while Lin Ray was seated on a chair with his palms facing the sky. He was silently circulating the Chaotic Heavenly Scripture.
"Huff …"
After letting out a long breath, he stopped and opened his eyes. He looked outside and saw that the sky was already bright. A smile appeared on his face.
"It's been a day. I should still be able to break through and enter the Saints' World on the day the mission ends. Otherwise …"
With that, Lin Ray suddenly shook his head. He didn't want to think about those bad things.
He turned to look at the two girls who were still sleeping on the bed. He was stunned and smiled bitterly. "You should at least cultivate."
Although he said that, his expression was very gentle. He walked to the side of the bed and patted their shoulders gently. "Ying 'er, Bing, wake up quickly. The sun is shining on your butt."
"Hmm?"
Hearing the call, the two girls slowly woke up. When they saw their husband by the bed, they smiled at each other and nodded. They got up and tidied up their messy clothes.
The three of them washed up and walked out of the restaurant. They walked slowly towards Hong Lou.
Although they woke up early, there was no emptiness here. Instead, it was no different from yesterday.
Under the shouts of the surrounding stalls, Lin Ray brought the two girls to Hong Lou.
"Fellow Daoist Lin."
Hong Yu saw Lin Ray from afar and quickly went up to greet him.
"Heh, Tower Lord Hong sure woke up early!" Looking at Hong Yu, Lin Ray was stunned. He nodded and greeted him.
"Uh, you're too kind!" Hong Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Since you're here, let's go."
"Well, there aren't many people now. We can find a better place."
"Okay, let's go!" Hong Yu nodded and led the six of them to the outside of the Wan Bao Pavilion's auction house.
At the entrance, Lin Ray was stunned when he saw the words "Auction House". "Array?"
"Array?"
Lin Ray's voice was not loud, but Hong Yu and the others were all in the God Realm. They could clearly hear what Lin Ray said just now, but they were a little confused by the words "Array".
"Yes!"
Without looking at Hong Yu, he stared at the plaque and said, "There is an array on this plaque, and the level of the array is not low. It must be at least a grandmaster array master."
"Hiss …"
As he spoke, Linley's gaze turned towards the signboard. Hong Yu's heart trembled. Zong level formation masters were people that all the major powers would fight to recruit. Even in the Deity Realm, they were quite rare.
"Let's go!"
While Hong Yu was still in a daze, Linley opened his mouth and strode forward.
Hong Yu did not move. He ordered the people behind him in a gloomy voice, "Go, check if there is a grandmaster array master in the Wan Bao Pavilion. You must find out."
"Yes, I'll go check right away!" After receiving the order, the people behind him bowed and disappeared in a flash.
"Our system doesn't even know there is such an existence in the Wan Bao Pavilion. It seems that we really need to do something."
Feeling the cold aura from Hong Yu, Xiao Nie was stunned and quickly said, "Yes … yes, Tower Lord is right."
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Hong Yu led Xiao Nie in the direction Linley had left in.
… …
"I told you, I followed Hong Yu here. Moreover, that person didn't have a post. Why can he enter but I can't?"
"Hmm? This voice? " Hong Yu, who had just stepped through the door, heard the voice from afar and was stunned. A bad premonition surged in his heart.
"Hurry …"
Hong Yu quickened his pace and arrived at the entrance of the auction house. When he saw the people who were stopped at the entrance, he was stunned and sweated profusely. He quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Erm, this … this is my post. Fellow Daoist Lin is right, he followed me here."
"Tower Lord Hong! So it's your friend! " He raised his head to take a look at the invitation card in front of him. When he saw that the person who came was Hong Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Hong Yu, he immediately bowed respectfully.
"Hmph, since you know, then move aside. If you neglect my guests, don't blame me for not giving face to the Wan Bao Pavilion's Tower Lord." As he spoke, he inadvertently released a wave of pressure to crush the people in front of him.
"Boom!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Suddenly, the people's expressions changed. Their bodies trembled and they took a few steps back. They only stopped when their bodies touched the door frame.
"Tower … Tower Lord Hong, this is the Wan Bao Pavilion's territory. Aren't you being a little rude?" Just when Hong Yu was full of confidence and thought that it was over, one of the people leaning against the door frame took a step forward and bowed to Hong Yu.
"What did you say?"
Looking at that person, Hong Yu's killing intent emerged. What is he doing? Slapping my face?
