Douluo: Twin Stars: The Descend of the Gods

Ling Lu nodded and agreed immediately: "Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way, sister."

The girl responded, then stood up, picked up the exquisite square black wooden box on the table, and carefully handed it back to Linglu.

Although she knew that the soul bone would not be easily damaged, she was still afraid that it would accidentally fall to the ground and break with a "pop".

Given the preciousness of soul bones, if they were really damaged in her hands, there would be no way for her, a mere receptionist, to afford the compensation.

However, even though the soul bone was so precious, she had no intention of snatching it by force.

No, maybe strictly speaking, there was a little bit of emotion when she first saw this soul bone, but it was almost immediately suppressed by her.

After all, if you want to be an auction house employee, the first rule of conduct is that no matter how precious the treasure is, you must not have any intention of snatching it.

In this regard, the auction house provided her with targeted training and testing when she first started working in the industry.

The second rule of employee ethics is that no matter who you meet or what happens, don't think too much or ask too many questions, just follow the auction house's procedures.

This is also the reason why the girl took out a soul bone to sell when she saw Linglu, such a young child, and did not ask any questions.

Linglu reached out, took the box from the girl, and then looked at her with strange eyes.

Under the girl's wide-eyed gaze, he shook the box, opened it casually, and put the soul bone back into his small bag.

Girl: "???"

What is this operation?

You know, the box that you took out, although it looks ordinary on the surface, has the function of isolating the breath.

If I don't put it in the box, if the aura of the soul bone leaks out...

No, she herself is also a great soul master of over level 20.

When the soul bone was placed in the bag before, the aura didn't seem to leak out. It was not until she took it out that she felt the aura of the soul bone.

Thinking of this, she looked at the small shoulder bag on Ling Lu's waist, her eyes moved slightly. Could this be a disguised soul guide device?

However, before she could think about it, the little girl in front of her said:

"Isn't it just a soul bone? You can just leave it there. If you put it in a box, you have to hold it in your hand, which is so troublesome."

When Linglu said this, her tone was very casual, and combined with her previous look, it seemed as if she was really just talking about a very ordinary object.

Girl: "..."

What do you mean it’s just a soul bone?

Do you know how many soul masters dream of this?

Do you know the value of soul bones?

The girl looked at Linglu again. It seemed that the child really didn’t know the value of soul bones. If she sold her soul bones, would her family know?

If her family knew about this, wouldn't they beat her to death for being a rebellious girl?

Forget it, why think so much?

The girl shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Since the soul bone aura would not leak out, she had nothing to worry about.

Afterwards, she told Linglu to follow and led her out of the room, down a long corridor towards the advanced appraisal room.

On the way, the girl looked back every ten steps to see if she was caught up. After all, this corridor had many corners, and she was afraid that she would disappear if she wasn't careful.

In the end, he was really worried and simply took Linglu's hand.

……

What Linglu had just taken out was only the lowest-level soul bone among all her soul bones, the left leg bone of the Four Thousand Year Old Earth King.

It's magical to say the least. The remains of the soul beast looked very large, but after taking out the soul bones, they became only the size of one or two palms, and the skull became only the size of a palm.

This is why a small shoulder bag can hold soul bones.

As for why the girl couldn’t feel any breath when she put the soul bone in her bag?

That was of course because Linglu covered the soul bone with the concealing function of nothingness. Only when she took out the soul bone could she temporarily lift the concealing effect on that soul bone.

After a while, Ling Lu was led by the girl to the door of a room, and the girl raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"come in."

After getting permission, the girl pushed the door and walked into the room with Linglu.

This is an elegant-style room with a wool carpet on the floor and a huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling, which completely illuminates this enclosed space without windows.

In the center of the room, there is a long square table with two long leather sofas on both sides. There are also some flowers in porcelain vases on the table as decoration, which makes it look particularly quiet and elegant.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties was sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking a cup of tea.

"Master Mader."

The girl greeted him politely, then brought Linglu to him.

"Ah, you are..."

Master Mad looked at the girl with a thoughtful expression, as if he wanted to find the corresponding person in his memory.

However, before he could find her, the girl revealed her identity:

"Master Mader, I'm the receptionist in the front hall, my name is Hui Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Master Mader pretended to be enlightened even though he had never heard of it before, and said as if he was very familiar with it:

"Ah, it's Miss Hui Zhao. I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time I talked to you was a few months ago. How is your work in the front office going?"

Hui Zhao curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

Is it possible that she was transferred to Qibao Auction House a few days ago? Where did the term "a few months ago" come from?

No matter what she thought, she still forced a decent smile on her face and responded with him:

"Yes, I still remember that we had a great time talking, and I miss it now. My front desk is usually quite busy, I wonder if I can catch up with you later?"

Then, Made and Huizhao exchanged some polite words with each other, and finally began to flatter each other in business.

Linglu was being held by Huizhao, and she just stood there obediently, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Eh~Human social interaction is so troublesome.

It is obvious that the two people are not very familiar with each other, but in order to maintain something on the surface, they still have to pretend to be acquaintances and flatter each other.

After half an hour, the two finally finished boasting and started to get down to business.

"So, Xiao Zhao, you must have something to ask me today, right?" Mad smiled at Hui Zhao.

"Ah, right!"

Hui Zhao slapped his head and then remembered that Ling Lu was beside him: "I came to see you for something serious. This lady has a very precious item that she wants you to identify."
