Tang Yuge, who was sitting not far from Lan Xuanyu, said coldly: “You talk as if it wasn’t for your premature love. You sure are not idle.”
The young man didn’t get angry, he smiled and said, “I was wondering who, so you came with Yuge junior sister. No wonder that you are so willing to spend money, you must come from a big family.”
Lan Xuanyu frowned, but still raised the number plate in his hand. Dong Qianqiu didn’t react to Lan Xuanyu’s expression. She just looked at him briefly, and then her eyes focused again on the rainbow-colored gem.
“Number 33, two hundred twenty thousand. Once.” Ling Yiyi also frowned slightly. Shrek Academy was very united, so usually, students in the academy rarely bid against each other.
The young man raised his number plate again, still smiling and said, “Three hundred thousand. Junior brother, if you can get higher, I will let you have it. But I can’t do nothing, or my girlfriend will be unhappy.”
Lan Xuanyu’s face suddenly became difficult to look at. He slowly took a deep breath, and the bloodline vortex that had become agitated and was releasing powerful waves in his body was no longer suppressed, and he slowly stood up.
As he got up, a layer of faint air flow rushed out from him. Without his suppressing, golden and silver scales appeared on his hands. A deep dragon roar echoed in his chest for a moment and then a burning bloodline aura burst out suddenly.
Regardless of Lan Xuanyu’s low cultivation base, when his bloodline aura was released outwards, the surrounding air trembled, especially when the deep dragon roar sounded. All the bidders present were soul masters and their Martial Soul was stimulated and influenced to varying degrees.
He did not release his Martial Soul, just his bloodline aura, but under the surging of the gold and silver two-colored air current, his might shocked the whole place.
The face of the young man who shouted 300,000 changed slightly. As a student of Shrek Academy, he was naturally more sensitive to bloodline aura. He could clearly feel that the bloodline aura exuding from this young junior brother was so powerful. He knew his Martial Soul was by no means weak, but currently he felt himself shuddering.
With his strength, of course he wouldn’t be afraid of the current Lan Xuanyu, but the problem was that there are too many student monsters in Shrek Academy. Not being afraid now did not mean that he will not be afraid in the future. Tang Yuge looked a bit withdrawn, but in fact she did not act too overbearing. He knew that the reason why this young junior brother participated in the auction was somewhat related to Tang Yuge. But he didn’t expect him to have such potential so young.
“Three hundred and ten thousand.” Lan Xuanyu slowly raised his number plate, allowing his bloodline to burst open unrestrained. In his eyes, there was a faint golden and silver halo flickering. When he said these words, none of the bidders in the room looked down upon him because of his age.
The reason why he stood up was not aimed at the young man, but at the bidders who were already behind him. He was telling everyone present that if they tried to grab something from him, then they should consider whether it was worth it to offend a Shrek Academy student with great potential in the future.
Sure enough, when he raised the number plate again, no one, including the Shrek Academy youth, competed with him.
“Number 33, three hundred and ten thousand, once.”
“Twice!”
“Thrice, deal !”
With the drop of the hammer, the auction of this lot was completed. Lan Xuanyu slowly retracted the number plate in his hand, turned his head to look at the previous youth, and nodded slightly to greet him, as if he was thanking the other party for not continuing to fight with him. But the young man understood the meaning in his eyes, you made me spend an extra 110,000 federal coins.
The youth was also regretting a little now. If Lan Xuanyu was really the leader of the younger generation, it would be really unwise to offend the other party. Although they might not come into contact, it was completely unnecessary trouble.
Sitting back in his position, Lan Xuanyu was actually a little pained for his purse. He only had a few dozen white emblems. He was really a little bit reluctant to spend them all !
He inwardly decided to pay for the lot with one yellow emblem plus eleven white. However, he finally managed to take it down, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Dong Qianqiu’s taut body gradually softened, but her mind was filled with fragments of memories. She whispered to Lan Mengqin: “Big sis Mengqin, I have a headache, I want to go back first. You can continue to participate here.”
Lan Mengqin was taken aback, “What’s wrong with you? Are you angry with that guy ? He was just looking for an excuse, there is no need to be angry.” Although she occasionally taunted Lan Xuanyu, she didn’t hold any grudge against him.
Dong Qianqiu shook her head, “No, I just feel a little sick. Xuanyu, Qian Lei, I’m leaving now!”
Lan Xuanyu said: “Then I’ll go with you. I just spent so much money, I don’t think I’ll take anything else. Qian Lei, how about you?”
Qian Lei excitedly said, “I want to see what’s after. Mengqin, let them go, how about staying there ?”
Lan Mengqin hesitated, looked at Dong Qianqiu, then Lan Xuanyu, and finally nodded, “Well then. Lan Xuanyu, don’t forget to protect Qianqiu.”
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes, “Who protects who ?” In terms of true combat strength, he was probably not Dong Qianqiu’s opponent, not to mention, they were in Shrek City, how could there be any danger, especially for them who were the academy’s students.
Dong Qianqiu didn’t say anything. She turned around and walked outside. Lan Xuanyu gave Qian Lei the emblems needed to pay for the auction, and asked him to check out and get the lot for him, and then went out with Dong Qianqiu.
Tang Yuge and the young man who had previously bid against Lan Xuanyu did not leave, they just looked at the back of their departure. The young man took the initiative to come to Tang Yuge and sit down, and said in a low voice, “Who was that just now? What year is he from ? Why haven’t I seen him?”
“Freshman.” Tang Yuge said lightly.
“It was just a freshman !” The young man was slightly embarrassed, he actually got a little frightened by a new first-year.
“He’s the leader of the team that beat me on the video.” Tang Yuge glanced at him and added.
“What?” the young man exclaimed in exclamation, his voice a bit loud, even the bidders behind him heard it. At this moment, his face really changed. Team leader? Was it the kid who seemed to have only two rings, but led a group of freshmen to defeat the third-years’ strongest team ?
He wouldn’t underestimate him because Lan Xuanyu only had two rings. On the contrary, getting admitted to Shrek Academy with a soul power only at the two-ring level, and finishing with the grades of number one to boot, he was a real prodigy. If nothing else, such a person would surely be able to enter the Inner Court in the future. He accidentally offended an existence with such unlimited potential.
Once out of the auction room, Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu walked side by side, Dong Qianqiu lowered her head and walked forward without speaking. Lan Xuanyu looked at her from time to time, only seeing her long dark blue hair hanging down, not her face.
“Qianqiu, are you okay?”
Dong Qianqiu shook her head. She suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lan Xuanyu, “You… are you really called Lan Xuanyu?”
“Huh?” Lan Xuanyu was dumbfounded, “What’s my name if not Lan Xuanyu ?”
Dong Qianqiu hesitated for a while, but asked again: “Your surname is not Tang?”
Lan Xuanyu couldn’t make tails or heads of what she was saying, “My last name is Tang? Why should I be named Tang?”
Dong Qianqiu shook her head, “It’s okay, maybe I’m thinking too much. Let’s go, let’s go back quickly, my head really hurts.” The rush of memory drove her bloodline to undergo some changes, bursts of intense stimulation, as if her Spiritual Sea was being torn apart, bursts of pain continuously came.

Suspected typo -“Ling Yiyi also frowned slightly. Shrek Academy was very united, so usually, students in the academy rarely bade against each other.” I think bade should be bid, though not sure as bade should be the past tense of bid, but it is the first time I saw bade.
Really good chapter, but once again I am dreading DD’s MC being clueless when it really matters, he had a ring that turns into a halberd that appeared on his hand when he was six, soul rings appear by themselves. His martial soul and bloodlines being different from his parents and that he stumbled across someone with the surname Tang who he clearly felt a connection with. For someone with over 500 points in spiritual power it is irritating he can’t figure out a few things with all the information he has. The very least he should suspect that his parents aren’t his real parents, by now.
Glad Qianqiu has noticed somthing is up hopefully she help reunite the whole family. I want Nana and Li to meet again and for Xuanyu to find out they are his parents.

Bid, bade, bidden, this is what Google told me :X

I don’t know bade didn’t sound right, but it is also the very first time I came across it.
I looked it up bade is traditional version of past tense bid and much out of use in English, it also usually used for the other meaning for bid where you bid someone goodbye.
Though in this case it comes down to whether the sentence was in the past or present and I am leaning to present tense though since it was referring to the present situation.
Just my thoughts I am really not sure how bade is used, sorry if I’m being a bother.

I’ve heard bade used as a past tense if the word bid is used as a greeting. “I bid thee farewell” present tense, vs “Oh I bade her farewell yesterday” past tense.
Bid, when used to “offer up a price”, has always stayed “bid”, present or past tense.

Tang Wulin had 7 rings when he found out. And from the looks of it Lan Xuanyu is very much a mommy’s boy, so he won’t notice for quite some time most likely.

I agree he is a mommy’s boy certainty, which is why I am hoping it will help him recognise Nana as his birth mother earlier. Though considering how DD MCs tend to be dense about the simplest things does not give me much hope.
Xuanyu should be better as when Wulin was 7 rings he noticed that his parents bloodline didn’t match his. So with Xuanyu having the silver dragon kings super spiritual power he should reach that level quicker. Also unlike Wulin he has met his birth parents and around his adopted ones more.

To be fair the few times he has interacted with both his biological parents he did feel a natural attraction and them to him. They just don’t have their full memories are no one would be able to stop them from reuniting at Shrek Academy.
It seems like Dong Qianqu might have met Wulin in the past but I am confused as to why she is having memory issues if that is the case.

Don’t tell me they’re brother sister. Or she’s the daughter of Wutong and Yuhao.

No, I don’t think it’s Wutong and Yuhao’s child, as he couldn’t get near her with Tang San’s seal, he was blasted off every time 😂😂 Maybe until they became gods and went to Gods Realm when they have a child.
So I’m more inclined to think that she is the Shark Princess that fought with Wulin against the Evil Orcas in the Sea God’s Trials and became a human.
