"Zhu Luan, I'm here!"

Lu Ren barely took a breath and endured the severe pain all over his body. He leaned on a broken crutch and, completely ignoring the surprised expressions in the eyes of passers-by, walked staggeringly on the road leading to Lijia's auction house.

Qin Long is a man who keeps his word. After the duel, he immediately left with Huang Jingtie and said that he would never take the initiative to approach Zhu Luan again.

Lu Ren was very happy. He exchanged five kilograms of Huang Jingtie that no one wanted for Zhu Luan. He thought it was a very good deal.

However, what Lu Ren didn't know was that these five kilograms of yellow iron were about to change his life's destiny.

In front of Lijia Auction House.

Lu Ren waited anxiously for the auction to end. Thinking of Zhu Luan's lark-like voice and the charming demeanor of his little daughter, his soul flew to the sky.

Looking unsightly, Lu Ren was blocked from the door by the guards at home.

After finally waiting for the auction to end, Lu Ren quickly pulled her to the corner when Zhu Luan appeared.

"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ren looked so miserable that Zhu Luan thought he had had an accident, so he asked pretending to be concerned.

"Luan'er, I'm fine. I came here just to tell you that I have sent the man in black robe away. From now on, he will never come to pester you again!"

Lu Ren put aside the branches and crutches, and opened his hands with excitement to give Zhu Luan a hug.

"Pa..."

When Helong's hands were about to be pulled away ruthlessly by Zhu Luan, the originally concerned look on his pretty little face turned into ice.

Qin Long is Zhu Luan's prey. As a weapon refiner, the gold coins he can squeeze out of his hands will never be less than tens of thousands. Lu Ren is just a waste that will be abandoned by her. She already knows which one is more important.

At this moment, when he heard that the person he had worked so hard to win over was disturbed by Lu Ren's words, the anger in Zhu Luan's eyes almost burst out, and he said word by word: "What did you say?"

Lu Ren, who was brainless, didn't hear her cold tone at all. Thinking of being able to grow old together with Zhu Luan in the future, a happy smile appeared on his stained face: "Luan'er, I only used five kilograms of Huangjing Iron to make it."

You got it back from that man in black robe, please leave this devil's cave here as soon as possible, and we will live together carefree from now on..."

Huangjingtie?

Zhu Luan was shocked. This kind of weapon-training material was very rare in Shiyu City. Even the small and powerful families would not keep it. With Lu Ren's strength, he would definitely not be able to trade five kilograms of Huangjing Iron.

"Where did your Huangjingtie come from?" Zhu Luan asked in a solemn tone with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Luan'er, to tell you the truth, my father is the warehouse manager of the Lu family, and I borrowed the five kilograms of yellow iron from the warehouse. But don't worry, five kilograms sounds like a lot, but it's actually only about the size of your fingertips. Even if you lose it,

The Lu family won’t find out either.”

Bang, Zhu Luan's whole body was shaken, and Lu Ren was instantly shaken away from him.

"Luan'er, what do you mean?"

Lu Ren was confused. He didn't understand why Zhu Luan got angry suddenly. Didn't they agree before that as long as he drove Mo Long away, the Li family would no longer have the purpose to force her, and Zhu Luan could successfully escape from the Li family.

Family, isn’t this the future they envisioned?

"What do I mean?"

"You bastard, the Lu family has raised you for more than ten years, and yet they have raised you to be such a white-eyed wolf who steals things? Get out of here, you are not welcome in our auction house."

Lu Ren was shocked. He had never seen such a ferocious Zhu Luan.

"Luan'er, you...did Mo Long ask you to say that? He doesn't care about you at all. Otherwise, why would he sell you to me just for a piece of Huangjing Iron!"

"Crack!!"

Before Lu Ren finished speaking, a loud slap exploded on his face. The huge force knocked Lu Ren to the ground. The burning pain on his cheek told him that Zhu Luan used spiritual energy in this slap.

Even if Zhu Luan is a cup of green tea, even if he knows what he is doing, no one can hear someone talking about him like this in front of her face, especially the concerned expressions of passers-by that make her almost sick.

Zhu Luan's pretty little face instantly turned into a ferocious Rakshasa, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Get out of here! Guard, throw him out!!"

"This idiot!"

Looking at Lu Ren being driven away, Zhu Luan took two deep breaths in front of the auction house. She was so angry that she wanted to peel off Lu Ren's skin.

Offending Qin Long is nothing. At most, it will only cause her to lose some money that she has not received. Zhu Luan will not be angry just like this, but since Huang Jingtie is involved, the matter will be simple.

Five kilograms of Huangjing iron is worth ten thousand gold. No matter how stupid the Lu family is, they will not lose so much money and ignore it. According to Lu Ren's character, he will definitely tell his story once he is investigated. It is still possible to sever ties with him at this moment.

Not only that, in order to minimize the threat, Zhu Luan also wanted to beat him.

The sneer raised at the corner of his mouth made people shudder, and an auction house guard was dispatched. Zhu Luan quickly explained some things and watched him leave.

Lu Ren walked out of Shiyu City in despair. He couldn't believe that Zhu Luan, who was originally gentle and virtuous, turned out to be such a ruthless woman inside.

When Qin Long made comments about Zhu Luan before, he was still defending her, but at this moment, those words kept lingering in Lu Ren's ears.

Thinking about it now seemed like a reminder and a mockery, which filled Lu Ren with a sense of humiliation.

"Damn Mo Long, Luan'er was supposed to stay and fly with me. It must be because of you that my Luan'er became like this. I, Lu Ren, will definitely cut you into pieces in my lifetime!"

How could Lu Ren, who was accustomed to self-deception, admit his failure? Angry voices lingered on the empty path, already naming Qin Long as the culprit for Zhu Luan's abandonment of him.

In the dusk, the Lu family, which had gradually sunk in, was interrupted by a verbal message.

"Father, there is a guard outside the Ming family who wants to see you for something."

Lu Liang received the notification at the door and quickly presented the news to Lu Zhengshan inside the room.

"Oh? When did our family start having contact with the auction house?"

Lu Zhengshan was a little surprised. The Lu family is a cultivating family, and their products do not have any special features. Their contact with the auction house is limited. It is getting late now, and the Li family sent someone to come because they don't know what's going on.

"Back to my father, I have purchased some cultivation elixirs and weapons at low prices from the auction house before, but I have never had any other dealings with them."

"That's all, let him come in." Since you don't understand, then don't think about it. You can't send a small guard just to raise an army and ask for guilt.

On duty as a guard, the Lu family has developed a arrogant aura after many visits to famous families.

Ignoring Lu Liang who was standing next to him, he showed no courtesy and gave Lu Zhengshan a slight clasped fist salute before saying bluntly: "Master Lu, I am entrusted by the auctioneer Zhu Luan. I came here to tell the master that your home has been stolen."

"What?"

Lu Zhengshan, who had experienced many storms, was shocked by these words. My house was stolen. How did you, a guard at the auction house, know about it?

Looking at Lu Zhengshan's surprised expression, the guard continued: "May I ask the head of the family, if there is a monk named Lu Ren in the Lu family?"

"Liang'er, is there such a person in our family?" When Lu Zhengshan heard what the guard said was true, he directly named the members of his family with the surname Lu, and he believed it in his heart. The Lu family was too complex and there were many junior monks. As the head of the family, he had no choice.

Memorizing the methods one by one, he asked Lu Liang in a deep voice.

"Father, there is such a monk. He is the only son of Lu Kuan, a close confidant of the previous head of the family. His cultivation level is probably in the middle or lower level of Foundation Establishment." Lu Liang seemed to know a lot about the chores at home, and he gave an accurate answer after a little thought.

.

Lu Zhengshan's mind froze. The theft, the warehouse in charge, and the guards sent by the auction house. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes. These three things instantly combined into a guess in his mind.

It is difficult to sell property of unknown origin in a regular place, but the Lijia Auction House is one of the few entities in Shiyu City that dares to purchase it privately. If Lu Rentou takes away Huang Jingtie, he will most likely exchange it for money at the Lijia.

Yes, it is precisely because of this that the family has the opportunity to know the whereabouts of the property.

"How did your family know about this?"

Lu Zhengshan's tone was a bit unkind. At this moment, he already thought that the Li family had hacked Huang Jingtie and came to complain in exchange for ransom. This was also the auction house's method.

"Master, please rest assured that the Li family did not take away Huang Jingtie. It was just that Lu Ren used Huang Jingte in a duel with a Chiling weapon refiner. After the unfortunate defeat, the five kilograms of Huang Jingte were won by the weapon refiner.

"

"I understand, please step back." Lu Zhengshan nodded and waved his hand to repel the guards.

Watching the guard leave the room, Lu Liang asked in a low voice: "Father, what does the Li Family Auction House mean? Why did they come to notify us? Is it because the weapon refiner has a red order?"

"How come."

Lu Zhengshan sneered. People become better with age. How could he not know the secrets of this?

"Liang'er, why do you think Lu Ren suddenly used Huang Jingtie to duel with a weapon refiner, and what role did the auctioneer named Zhu Luan play in this matter?"

Lu Liang frowned and thought for a moment, but finally shook his head: "Father, I don't understand. The weapon refiner may have something equivalent to Huangjing Iron. As for Zhu Luan, he probably informed us out of good intentions.

of."

Looking at his confused son, Lu Zhengshan pointed with a bright smile: "Haha, you think too simply."

"Nothing comes in vain. Since Zhu Luan took the initiative to expose Lu Ren's theft, she must have been actively or passively involved in this matter. Seeing as she was still eager to remove herself, it must have been a bet.

Come on, Liang'er, you still have a lot to learn."

Lu Liang also looked suddenly enlightened, nodded and sighed: "I see, my father is indeed very discerning. Unfortunately, Huang Jingtie lost to the weapon refiner as a bet, and he lost tens of thousands of gold coins in vain. Father, why don't you ask the weapon refiner for help?"

Want to come back."

Lu Zhengshan waved his hand: "There is no need for this. A mere tens of thousands of gold coins is nothing to our Lu family. Moreover, losing a piece of Huangjing Iron is not a bad thing."

"Always having a group of people on duty will inevitably lead to theft. Huh, the confidants of the previous head of the family, go to the warehouse to check. If Huang Jingtie is not lost, just hide him. Use this as an excuse to expel all those useless people.

Let’s go to the Lu family.”

"Yes, Father."
