Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 381 Auction

As Yu Linglong arrived lightly, Liang Jin quickly stood up and said with a slightly serious expression:

"Master, something happened."

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and asked:

"Don't tell me we can't go out to sea today?"

Liang Jin had no choice but to tell Yu Linglong everything he had learned from Xie Wuwei, that Li Xueqing had gone to Bi Bo City last night, without reservation.

After all, the final decision on whether to go out to sea is still in Yu Linglong's hands.

After hearing this, Yu Linglong was slightly stunned, her eyes full of surprise.

She thought carefully, but she couldn't remember how long it had been since Li Xueqing left Hualong Island. In her impression, it must have been at least several years.

Now Li Xueqing suddenly left the island without any warning and did not report to her as the sect leader. This matter is indeed a bit strange.

But after a little thought, she made a decision and said slowly:
"Elder Li must have some important personal matters to attend to, most likely involving her relatives in Dongzhou."

"However, Elder Li's relatives don't live in Bibo City. She's most likely just passing through Bibo City to take the overland route to her relatives' home. Therefore, we may not meet Elder Li when we arrive in Bibo City."

"Especially since we can use the Thousand Faces Magic, even if Elder Li sees us, he might not be able to recognize us."

"In short, as long as we act carefully, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After listening to this, Liang Jin shrugged slightly.

He knew in his heart that Yu Linglong was obviously comforting herself and was just hoping for a lucky break.

However, since Yu Linglong has made the decision, as a subordinate, he naturally has to fully assist Yu Linglong in completing the journey and do his best to ensure that everything goes smoothly and without any problems.

Immediately, Liang Jin turned around and shouted at the giant snake in the distance:
"Dude! Time to come back!"

The giant snake heard the call, slowly poked its head out of the sea, glanced at Liang Jin coldly, as if it had no intention of paying any attention to him at all.

But when its gaze inadvertently swept across Yu Linglong, its eyes instantly softened, and then its huge body swam quickly, like a black lightning, and arrived on the shore in the blink of an eye.

It excitedly lowered its huge body, its head slightly lowered, its eyes full of anticipation, waiting for Yu Linglong to sit on its back.

Seeing this, Yu Linglong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and leaped as lightly as a swallow, landing steadily on the back of the giant snake.

Seeing this, Liang Jin also hurriedly prepared to sit on it.

"call!"

Accompanied by a whistling wind.

A thick and powerful tail was like a giant black whip. It came in front of Liang Jin with a "swish" and pushed him away mercilessly.

Obviously, the giant snake was still dissatisfied with Liang Jin and had no intention of taking him with it.

Liang Jin helplessly spread his hands towards Yu Linglong, his face full of innocence and helplessness.

Yu Linglong gently patted the giant snake's head and said softly:

"Stop making trouble and let him come up too."

"We still have to hurry to get to Bibo City."

After hearing Yu Linglong's words, the giant snake reluctantly retracted its tail.

Liang Jin seized the opportunity and quickly jumped onto the giant snake's back.

The giant snake felt that both of them were seated firmly, and with a slight movement of its huge body, it slowly swam into the sea like a giant ship.

It swam very fast, the sea breeze blew past its ears, and the waves kept hitting its faces. The two figures quickly sank into the darkness and gradually moved away from Hualong Island.

Riding on a giant snake is much faster than traveling by boat.

However, a troublesome problem arose during this process.

The giant snake would suddenly swing its tail from time to time, and with a "snap" sound, it would knock Liang Jin off its back.

Every time Yu Linglong scolded it, it would act aggrieved, with its head slightly drooped, as if to say that it had accidentally knocked Liang Jin down.

But when Liang Jin finally jumped out of the sea and onto the giant snake's back, after a while, the giant snake suddenly shook its body and shook Liang Jin off again.

After this situation happened several times, anyone could see that the giant snake was clearly targeting Liang Jin.

"This guy really holds a grudge!"

Liang Jin couldn't help but complain:

"You're still thinking about how to mess with me even now."

Wasn't it just that he had taken some of its blood and essence? He had apologized and given it a gift, but this giant snake was still targeting him everywhere. It really made him laugh and cry.

This also made Yu Linglong quite helpless.

After thinking for a moment, she could only let Liang Jin sit closer to her.

This trick was indeed effective. The giant snake seemed to take Yu Linglong's feelings into consideration and did not continue to attack Liang Jin.

As time slowly passed, they were getting closer and closer to the mainland.

Yu Linglong reminded softly:

"Start using the Thousand Faces Magic Technique to avoid being seen."

Liang Jin nodded and said it was okay.

So, the two of them began to use their "Thousand Faces Magic" to disguise themselves.

After a while, Yu Linglong's appearance had changed.

She was no longer the aloof, goddess-like girl. Now she had transformed into a lady from a noble family.

Although her appearance is not as good as before, her innate grandeur and unique temperament are by no means comparable to those of ordinary ladies. Her every move and gesture reveals her elegance.

Liang Jin suddenly transformed into a white and plump man.

In order to cover up his shiny bald head, he specially prepared a formal hat for himself.

With the official's hat firmly on his head, he looked like a wealthy old man, and his every move exuded a sense of wealth.

The giant snake swam leisurely, turning its head from time to time and looking at the two of them curiously.

Obviously, the giant snake didn't quite understand why these two people suddenly changed their appearance.

However, all the information it captured through the snake's tongue showed that the two people were still the same two people, only their appearance had changed.

soon.

A cluster of stars appeared in the distance, twinkling in the night sky, reflecting the lights of the city.

That’s right, Bi Bo City is almost here.

Based on their previous experience, the two men let the giant snake swim to a remote place, then carefully and secretly went ashore, and let the giant snake wait for them in the sea.

The moment Yu Linglong's feet stepped on the land, her whole body seemed to be injected with energy and became active.

She called Liang Jin excitedly, urging him to go to Bi Bo City as soon as possible. She looked so anxious, as if waiting for another quarter of an hour would be torture.

The two of them hurried and soon arrived at their destination.

Tonight, Bibo City was bustling with activity, as if it were daytime. Everywhere was decorated with lights and large red lanterns hung high, illuminating the streets like daylight.

The sounds of gongs and drums and cheers were intertwined and never stopped.

Crowds of people gathered like a tide, and dragon and lion dance teams shuttled among them. The whole city was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

"Xiongba, did you arrange all this?"

Yu Linglong asked excitedly.

She looked at the lively scene, her eyes sparkling like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Liang Jin hurriedly shook his head and said:

"How could my disciples possibly be capable of arranging such a grand event?"

"Today is a festival unique to Bibo City, called the Sea God Festival."

"Every time on this day, everyone will pray to the sea god together, and the celebration will last until late at night."

As a city that relies heavily on maritime trade, Bi Bo City selects a day every year as the Poseidon Festival when the sea is calm and trade is most prosperous.

On the day of Poseidon Festival, in addition to some local traditional customs, many grand activities are also held.

Baojiantang’s largest annual auction is also held on this day.

Yu Linglong excitedly shuttled among the crowd, staring at everything around her, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

Everything here seems to be the same as described in the book, but it seems that there is something new and different everywhere.

For Yu Linglong, everything in front of her was full of unique surprise and charm.

"Miss! Miss, come here quickly!"

Liang Jin shouted loudly from a distance:
"Have you ever ridden a donkey? There's a donkey here you can ride!"

Horses are common on Hualong Island.

But Liang Jin had never seen even a donkey before. Now he happened to find a place where he could rent a donkey to carry people around, so he immediately greeted Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong heard the call and ran over quickly.

She looked at the donkey in front of her and couldn't help but sigh:
"Is this a donkey? It looks just like a horse!"

"The book says donkeys have long ears and horses have short ears, and it's true! Xiongba, look how long its ears are!"

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to turn over and ride on the little donkey's back, then she gently whipped the whip, and the little donkey started running "da da da!"

There are people everywhere on the street, and the donkey has a bad temper. It would be bad if it accidentally hurts innocent people.

So Liang Jin immediately reached out and tightly grasped the donkey's reins, carefully leading the donkey for Yu Linglong in front.

"Miss, ma'am!"

Liang Jin said as he walked:
"Look, this is called Tanghulu. Have you ever eaten it?"

As he spoke, he bought two strings of candied haws from a vendor nearby and handed them to Yu Linglong, asking her to hold one string in each hand.

Yu Linglong looked at the red candied haws in her hand and was equally curious.

She opened her mouth slightly, took a bite, and her eyes narrowed immediately, with a satisfied look on her face:

"It's sour and sweet, exactly like what the book says it tastes like."

"No, the description in the book doesn't fully capture its flavor. It tastes even more bizarre than what's described in the book!"

Seeing this, Liang Jin felt secretly contemptuous in his heart.

A woman who has never seen the world!

However, it is precisely this kind of woman who is curious about everything in the world that is easier to please. You can make her happy by renting a donkey and buying two strings of candied haws.

But then again, there's really no precise definition of what it means to "see the world."

Liang Jin had never seen the world that Yu Linglong had seen.

She can easily access all the treasures, collections, secrets, and confidential information in Hualongmen. Moreover, as a remnant of the previous dynasty, she must know many unknown secrets.

Those were things Liang Jin had never seen before.

Then Liang Jin shouted again:
"Miss, miss!"

"Cover your ears! Firecrackers are going off up ahead!"

Soon, a burst of crackling firecrackers suddenly exploded, making people's eardrums hurt.

The sudden noise startled the little donkey so much that it almost ran away.

Fortunately, Liang Jin is now extremely strong, and this mere donkey is unable to break free from his powerful hands and escape.

Yu Linglong rode on the donkey and excitedly said:
"I've heard firecrackers before! This isn't the first time I've heard them!"

"I heard it once, when I was five!"

"That was when my Yu Family Ancestral Hall was just completed, and that was the first time my father allowed us to set off firecrackers on the island to celebrate!"

Liang Jin continued to pull the donkey and took Yu Linglong for a walk on the busiest main street.

After a round, Yu Linglong was still not satisfied, her eyes full of nostalgia, and she wanted to go around the shops that were open.

Seeing this, Liang Jin could only hurriedly advise:

"Miss, it's getting late."

"The auction is about to start, and we have to hurry to attend it."

Liang Jinke was still thinking about buying the Jade Shadow Bow at the auction, and he couldn't let Yu Linglong ruin his plan.

Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong fell into deep confusion.

She wanted to go to the auction and she also wanted to go shopping, but it was really difficult to choose between the two.

But under Liang Jin's repeated persuasion and urging, she had to reluctantly give up shopping temporarily.

She told Liang Jin to finish the auction as soon as possible and then come back to continue shopping with her.

Liang Jin readily agreed and brought Yu Linglong to the venue of the auction - Baojian Hall.

The auction held by Baojian Hall is a high-end auction, and only a few people are qualified to enter.

Liang Jin was well prepared for this. He had already obtained the invitation letter through his connections with Hualongmen.

The two arrived at the door of Baojian Hall and were about to enter after checking the invitation letters.

suddenly.

All I heard was a burst of arrogant shouting:

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Everyone, get out of my way!"

"Don't let me get in the way!"
