Chapter 60

Not long after, Luolin's ten bowls of white rice were brought up.

The young lady serving the food didn't look pleased either. She had probably been scolded by her supervisor or something. Perhaps she had to explain for a long time to make it clear that someone really would order ten bowls of plain white rice directly.

But Luolin didn't care about any of this. He was eating with great relish.

"Hey, hey, did you guys hear? At the auction in a couple of days, there will be some extremely premium goods."

"Oh? Really?"

"Really, really. Someone even saw them. Wow, those two pairs of big balls—who knows how great it would feel to squeeze them."

"And also, the auction house guarantees that she's definitely a virgin. Tsk tsk tsk, this is just too premium."

While eating, Luolin overheard people nearby talking. With a little thought, he could figure out what they were discussing.

Moreover, Luolin felt that the 'goods' they were talking about were very likely referring to Shirna.

"Sigh, what a pity. Such premium goods—we shouldn't harbor any fantasies."

One of them sighed, and the others felt the same way.

"Yeah, this kind of goods is usually already reserved before the auction even starts. How could we possibly have the money to compete with those noble young masters?"

Another person said.

"Even if you had the money, would you dare to bid? Otherwise, after you get the item, you'll be targeted and lose your life!"

One of his companions warned him even more seriously. The waters here ran very deep indeed.

However, Luolin picked up some incredible intelligence from this.

"Hey, brothers, are you talking about the auction house sale?"

Luolin cautiously moved closer, then put on a sleazy expression and asked. Those few people glanced at Luolin.

"Yeah, so what? Do you know something too?"

This kind of conversation generally required an equal exchange of information.

In other words, Luolin had to reveal something they didn't know to join in; otherwise, they would stop talking.

"Hehe, I actually do know something. That girl is supposedly an elf maiden."

Luolin said.

"Oh? An elf? Damn! I'm so envious of whoever gets to take her home."

"Yeah, damn it, why don't I have such good fortune?"

What Luolin said made them all wail. Actually, they didn't care too much about whether the information was true or false. What they needed was just to know as much as possible and then fantasize in their own heads.

"Brothers, I'm not quite clear about what you were saying earlier. Could you explain it in more detail?"

Luolin sat a bit closer. They didn't resist.

"What are you referring to?"

"That thing about the noble young master who's already been reserved—who are you talking about?"

"You don't know?"

"Hehe, I'm actually from another town and don't know much about the situation here yet."

Luolin scratched his head in explanation. Only then did the man understand.

"I see. Well, little brother, don't say your older brother didn't warn you. If you're planning to go to the auction, it's best not to casually bid on certain things."

"Oh? There are such unspoken rules?"

"It's not exactly an unspoken rule. Here, we have someone called Willis, a nobleman. He frequently scours the auction house for slaves. If it's something he's set his eyes on, you'd better not compete with him. Otherwise, he'll send people after you. He's extremely petty!"

The man told Luolin. Only then did Luolin learn that such a character existed here.

"Tsk, speak of the devil and he appears. Look, see those people coming through the door? They're Willis's guard team. Their arrogant attitude of bullying others by flaunting their master's power is really annoying."

As he spoke, he pointed at several knife-wielding guards who had just walked through the door and were looking around.

"Hey, keep your voice down, they're coming over!"

Suddenly, someone nearby said, and then he immediately shut his mouth, because those people really were walking over.

However, they weren't heading toward those people, but walked directly toward Luolin. Then, one of them took out a portrait and compared it up and down against Luolin's face.

"Kid, we finally found you!"

The leader laughed sinisterly a few times, then waved his hand.

"Seize him for me!"

He pointed at Luolin and shouted, and the other people immediately surrounded him.

The passersby who were relatively close, including those who had just been talking to Luolin, immediately moved away, not intending to get involved in this matter.

"Those guys are at it again..."

"Shh! Don't mind them, just pretend we didn't see anything, unless you want to invite trouble."

With Luolin at the center, everyone else retreated far away.

Luolin was actually somewhat confused—what was going on? Could it be that they were going to arrest him just because he had discussed a few things earlier?

That couldn't be, right?

"Gentlemen? What is the meaning of this?"

Luowei asked after composing himself, while that person sneered mockingly.

"What meaning? Why don't you ask yourself what the meaning is? You offended our Lord Willis, and you still want to run?"

That person said.

"You're the one who let those two little girls go when they should have been delivered. Lord Willis is very angry, so you'd better obediently let us take you back and prepare to face his wrath."

At this moment, Luolin finally understood what was going on—it was actually about Lin'er and Ke'er's matter.

What a case of enemies crossing paths on a narrow road.
