Chapter 19

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Luo and Lin Meng’er sat in the simple and crude shop, drinking powder.

Zhang Chugui’s group had a different temperament from the commoners. They attracted countless gazes as soon as they walked into the store.

“Young master Zhang.” Lin Luo called out in a muffled voice.

He swallowed the powder in his mouth. “Any news?”

“Not yet. I’m here to give you this.” Zhang Chugui took out a gold-stamped invitation card with a smile.

Lin Luo took the invitation card. He had just finished eating his noodles when he wiped the card with his fingers.

“An auction?”

“What do you think? Are you interested?”

Lin Luo closed the invitation and said with a smile. “Of course I’m interested.”

Which protagonist who had transmigrated to this era would not go to an auction?

Many protagonists had picked up scraps at auctions and then reached the peak of their lives.

If he missed this auction, he would miss this opportunity!

“Many thanks, young master Zhang!”

“You’re welcome. We’re friends.”

Several Zhang family members who had followed Zhang Chugui here were dumbfounded.

As a whole, the status of the Zhang family’s guest Masters was lower than these young masters and mistresses.

Now, Zhang Chugui had directly declared that Lin Luo was a friend. No guest elder had such an honor!

They looked at the greasy invitation card in Lin Luo’s hand and felt complicated.

“That’s right! It is!” Lin Luo happily agreed.

Lin Luo was overjoyed to have such a spendthrift friend.

Zhang Chugui was also very happy that he had successfully roped in Lin Luo. Satisfied, he left with his men.

“Brother, do we still have money?”

Lin Meng’er was worried. After so long, her brother had only left the city to hunt once, and he wasted it. How could he have spare money to go to the auction?

“Brother, I think I should go out and find a job.”

“What job?” Lin Luo was unhappy. Meng’er, you should enjoy it. The hard life in the past is all in the past!

“Don’t worry, with big brother here. You don’t need to go through so much trouble.”

Lin Luo led his sister home. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a gold-stamped invitation card on the table.

As he had brought Lin Meng’er out, Lin Luo did not pay attention to his clone’s condition.

In any case, if there were any danger, the clone would immediately report back to him. Thus, Lin Luo would mostly review the situation his clone had encountered at night.

He searched his mind and pulled out this memory.

This gold-stamped invitation was given to him by Mr. Chu when his clone went to the auction today.

Recently, Lin Luo had not been to the auction. He had been eating, drinking, and having fun outside. He had not gone out of the city to hunt beasts at all. If he kept bringing a large number of exotic beasts to the auction, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Therefore, it was basically Lin Luo’s clone that wore the mask to the auction house.

The two clones had killed twice the number of hunters, and their levels were not low either. They attracted attention within two days.

Mr. Chu, who had failed to win over Lin Luo, immediately turned his attention to his clone.

As a result, a large-scale auction was about to be held soon, and Mr. Chu had given the invitation to his clone as a favor.

Lin Luo held two invitations in his hands and muttered, “I wonder what Mr. Chu’s expression would be if he found out that the two people he’s roped in are actually the same person.”

Since he had two invitation cards, Lin Luo decided to sell the one from the auction house and earn a sum of spirit stones.

Since he was thinking about picking up scraps at the auction, Lin Luo had been hunting even more diligently these two days.

By the time the auction started, Lin Luo had already accumulated over 100000 spirit stones.

That day, Lin Luo changed into a suit and dressed up for the auction.

He had just entered the venue and had not even found his seat when he met a large group of people from the Zhang family.

Zhang Chugui and another young man, whom he had never seen before, brought a few Martial Masters, two grandmasters, and a few martial artists.

“Lin Luo!” Zhang Chugui called enthusiastically.

The other young man didn’t even look Lin Luo in the eye. He glanced at Lin Luo from the corner of his eyes.

Lin Luo was very sensitive to such gazes. They were contemptuous and full of malice.

A few of the cultivators lazily called out. “Guest-Minister Lin.

Zhang Chugui glanced coldly at the martial artists and turned his head to grab Lin Luo’s shoulder. “Lin Luo, let’s go. Go directly to the Zhang family’s private room.”

Lin Luo was happy he didn’t have to squeeze with a large group of people below.

As for the hostile martial artists, Lin Luo didn’t care at all.

When his cultivation level went up, these people naturally wouldn’t dare to show such a look.

“I say, big brother, aren’t you afraid of dirtying your hands by putting your arms around a bumpkin from the commoner’s district?”

Zhang Chugui’s smiling expression froze, and he said unhappily, “It has nothing to do with second brother.”

“How is it not related?”

Zhang Chugui sneered. “Big brother let such a bumpkin into the Zhang family. It’s enough for him to be a servant, but he actually let him be a guest elder of the Zhang family. Aren’t you afraid that outsiders will laugh their heads off?”

To be called a mud leg, even a clay Bodhisattva would be a little angry.

The other party was also trying to make fun of his God of Fortune.

This was the first time Lin Luo’s face turned completely cold in front of others. “Why did this dog come to bark at the auction? Young master Zhang, this person’s is two small realms lower than yours. How dare he bark in front of you?”

“Pfft…” Zhang Chugui couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud. He pursed his lips and tried his best to hold back his laughter.

“He’s my younger brother, after all. He’s still insensible, so I can only give in.”

Younger brother? The second young master of the Zhang family?

Lin Luo’s eyelids twitched.

Mr. Zhang had offended the Zhang family’s second young master, Zhang Chuyu, and was made fun of after he was injured.

In the end, he was forced to run a small shop in the commoner’s district.

This time, Lin Luo’s mouth was even more unwilling to spare Zhang Chuyu.

“So you’re still young. That’s right, the second young master of the Zhang family is only three years older than me. 24 years old, that’s quite young.”

Lin Luo’s mouth twitched, and he spat out these strange words as if they cost nothing.

“How audacious! How dare a guest master talk to young master like that?”

“Aren’t you just a high-level martial artist? What’s there to be arrogant? A lowly commoner from the commoner district dares to speak ill of the second young master!”

“That’s right. I haven’t seen you bringing more exotic beasts to the auction house since the day we hunted some. Maybe he was just lucky that day to get so many. After all, how strong can a crippled warrior be?”

Lin Luo was wearing a suit. He couldn’t put his hands in his pockets, so he simply put them on Zhang Chugui’s left shoulder.

“I’m just a commoner that broke through from a junior martial apprentice to a high-ranking martial warrior in just ten days. Of course, I can’t be compared to the second young master who has been cultivating for seven or eight years.”

The people at the auction were either rich or powerful. The place became noisy, and it didn’t take long before the commotion attracted many onlookers.

As soon as Lin Luo said this, everyone around him gasped.

Zhang Chuyu’s face was hot. These gasps were like a slap to his face.

In his anger, Zhang Chuyu blurted out, “Lin Luo, you and that Zhang Hao are just dogs of my Zhang family!

“So the Zhang family’s guest elder is a dog?” Lin Luo gritted his teeth and said coldly.

He had actually dragged all the guest elders of the Zhang clan into the water!

“F*ck you!” Zhang Chuyu clenched his fist and threw it at Lin Luo!
