Female supporting roles are not cannon fodder

Chapter 76

But Lin Lan just thought about it. It would be too cumbersome if he really tied the jade pendant, especially for the swords he was used to. Too heavy to be the right choice.

Ming Yan looked at it and nodded and thought it was good. The eyes of many people below began to light up. Ming Yan didn't think they were a big threat. On the contrary, the people in the box, if they don't want to fight for those things behind, it's better to buy this good choice.

Most of the people in the box would not choose to let themselves go away empty-handed, because it would be a waste of their time.

At the beginning of the auction, those sitting in the hall began to bid first. Basically, from this point on, the latter ones had no chance with them. Therefore, some rich people in the hall were eager to try and take pictures of this tassel. There is no need to consider the remaining part of the money to bid for the following items. Basically, if they can get the tassels, it is already very good, so they all bid aggressively.

The price was driven up all the way up, Lin Lan shook his head while listening and said, "You probably bleed a lot this time."

In just a few minutes, the price has already been driven up to top-grade spirit stones, isn't it crazy!
Ming Yan didn't care, anyway, it didn't matter if he had more money or less, and it wasn't just a change of name that went back to his pocket.

Lin Lan didn't know it, and looked at Ming Yan's completely indifferent appearance, and sighed in her heart, she still has a mortgage!
When the ten high-grade spirit stones started, everyone gradually became immobile, and Ming Yan also joined in, and directly raised it to twenty high-grade spirit stones, just to see if there are any people who would come to grab the box.

The price doubled all of a sudden, Lin Lan blinked his eyes a few times before he was sure that he was right. He had obviously slowed down. According to this posture, the price was at most fifteen high-grade spirit stones. He had to spend Is that much money?
But before Lin Lan asked, and before Ming Yan replied, there was another offer, and it was still double the price, 40 yuan for top-grade spirit stones.

This is the middle of the auction, and the price has already been raised to a certain level. I believe that if the news spreads, the reputation of Zhenbao Pavilion will become even louder.

When Ming Yan saw which box offered the price, the expression on his face became serious. Although he invited the person, why did he come to bid for the auction when he knew who he was?Is it possible to increase popularity?Normal people wouldn't compete with the boss of the auction, would they?

Ming Yan hesitated a few times, the host had already started counting down, Lin Lan beside him carefully looked at Ming Yan, but finally didn't speak, God knows she was still thinking that Ming Yan's asking price was too high, then someone continued to flip through double the price.Her little heart was stimulated.

When the countdown was one second, Ming Yan decided to give up. At this time, arguing with the other party would only make others laugh.

"Fortunately, I haven't told the old man that I want to give him something." Ming Yan leaned back and leaned back on the chair, with no sadness on his face.

Lin Lan expressed her understanding that it would not be worth it if she competed with the other party again, because such a price is already considered high for a tassel, so she patted Ming Yan's arm with a smile: "It's just that you can save Put down the money, in case there are still others who are interested in it later.”

Ming Yan was speechless for a moment, his people were all sitting here in his base camp, could it be that he was afraid of running out of money?But thinking that Lin Lan didn't know about this, Ming Yan chose to ignore the other party, closed his eyes and rested his mind, he probably knew what those things behind him were.

He can take action on the unimportant ones in the front, but what do those in the back want these guests to do? It is obvious that Ming Yan has nothing to do.

And the image of him lying there so quietly, in Lin Lan's opinion, he was stimulated, um, she can understand, obviously she was also stimulated by Ming Yan, um, now her heart is more balanced >. <
Lin Lan didn't look at those behind, so as not to be stimulated again, so she followed Ming Yan's example and closed her eyes to rest her mind. As a result, she fell asleep.

It was Ming Yan who woke her up and told her to go downstairs to attend the banquet. Lin Lanzai sat up, patted her face, and made herself freshen up before going downstairs.

The banquet in the realm of comprehension was not as luxurious as Lin Lan had seen in TV dramas before, but rather simple, with food, not much, but very delicate.

Some corners of the hall were screened, and tables and chairs were placed for people to rest.

If you don't want to be in the lobby, someone will prepare a room for you to rest, or go to the room to talk about things.

Not everyone who comes to participate will bring a female companion, and the cultivation world does not have this habit. Generally, most of the female companions brought out are their own subordinates, disciples of masters, or dual cultivators. There are very few such as Yunzhuo, It can be regarded as supporting the younger generation, but if Dairan has already had any relationship with Yunzhuo at this time, then Yunzhuo will definitely not bring her here. The cultivation world admits that the female partner who has a relationship can only be a double cultivator, like Dairan. At best, it is better than the stove, and bringing it out is a kind of disrespect to the organizer.

This also led to the fact that the status of female companions in the banquet is still very equal, at least no one dares to underestimate them, and it is not regarded as an accessory.

Lin Lan can be regarded as Ming Yan's junior sister, especially since Ming Yan is still the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion. When the two of them appeared on stage, many people couldn't help but pay attention to them. Even when Ming Yan gave a speech, Lin Lan was still being watched.

From the eyes of the public, Lin Lan has always maintained her image. At any rate, she has been in the showbiz for a few years, and she is not stage-frightened when facing this kind of public occasion. It looked the same from beginning to end, and it made many people nod secretly.

Although everyone didn't know about Lin Lan's background, they only knew that he had something to do with Ming Yan, but Lin Lan's generosity now made everyone want to go in the direction of the aristocratic family, and no one would have guessed that Lin Lan It's just a girl from a village.

The opening of the banquet was the sponsor's speech, so Ming Yan and Lin Lan said "I'll leave the meeting first", and they ran to the stage.

No matter how ignorant Lin Lan was of the rules, she knew who was supposed to give the speech at this time, but Ming Yan never told her about it. Lin Lan couldn't help but gasped, she still smiled calmly, but no one I couldn't see the shock and disbelief in her heart.

Ming Yan's speech was very exciting and won a burst of applause, but Lin Lan's impression was only what he said before he went up, and when he came down to hold her hand, Lin Lan kept that expression all the time, completely unresponsive Come here, let alone listen to what Ming Yan just said.

"Wake up, it's time for us to toast." Others couldn't see it, but Ming Yan could see that Lin Lan was still in a daze.

Lin Lan was almost awakened by Ming Yan. She stared at Ming Yan with her eyes, but saw Ming Yan's calm and calm face. I didn't ask, but before you go downstairs, you should say something, I'm not mentally prepared at all, but I was just comforting you that you didn't bid for anything, are you laughing at me in private!"

No, it's just a complaint, Ming Yan can't tell the truth, seeing Lin Lan really got angry, and said: "Nothing, I don't think I need to say it deliberately, but you behaved very well just now, no one See the difference."

Others find it strange, but Ming Yan thinks it is expected. In many things before, Lin Lan has acted very generously, without pettiness at all. Sure enough, although the environment is important, the blood in his bones will not change.

Ming Yan resisted the urge to touch Lin Lan's hair, just patted her on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's toast first."

Lin Lan nodded obediently. Indeed, as Ming Yan said, he never kept any secrets from Lin Lan, but Lin Lan didn't ask, he didn't say anything, but now that I think about it, I can still guess this from many details. The point is that she trusts Ming Yan so much that she never pays attention to this aspect?

After toasting a few glasses of wine, Lin Lan felt bored. She was still young, and all she drank was fruit juice, and others were considerate, but they looked at Lin Lan very friendly.

Lin Lan naturally knew why, because just now Ming Yan told everyone who was toasting that she was Ming Yan's junior sister, and this identity alone was enough to make people look sideways.Not to mention the teacher behind Lin Lan and Ming Yan.

Fortunately, not everyone here needs Ming Yan to toast, so after toasting those who need it, Lin Lan and Ming Yan stay in the corner.

"The people who just made a toast are my elders." After the toast, Ming Yan introduced to Lin Lan the people he just met, their status and relationship, etc.These will be very helpful to Lin Lan in the future.

About halfway through talking, a person came towards them, apparently to toast Ming Yan.

"This is the first time I've seen you bring a girl in, why don't you introduce me?" Yun Zhuo walked over with Dai Ran, with a smile on his face, knowing from his words that he and Ming Yan were very familiar, and he wasn't too polite.

When Lin Lan saw Dairan approaching, his originally relaxed body tensed up a bit, and a ceremonial smile immediately appeared on his face, which looked beautiful but distant.

Dairan didn't lose Yunzhuo's face today, and Yunzhuo saw that her behavior was generous and unrestrained, so he brought her here to toast, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Dairan's female companion.

It has been several months since Lin Lan and Dai Ran officially confronted each other. Lin Lan has been in retreat and has never come out. Dai Ran was burned by Ouyang Mu during the trial before, and she has always been in her heart. She was brooding, especially when Lin Lan snatched the incense box today, and her anger became more and more ignited, not to mention that she was dragged by Yunzhuo to toast them.

It's just that Dairan performed very well, she knew that she lost face once during the trial, if she was still compared here by Lin Lan, then she really couldn't get it back, let alone lose Yun Zhuo's face If she loses face in front of so many people because of being angry with Lin Lan, she is not sure if Yun Zhuo will become angry and let her go out from here without any politeness.

And rather than such meaningless bickering, Dai Ran wants to get benefits, such as incense boxes.

"This is my junior sister Lin Lan, and this is Yun Zhuo, who is in charge of this auction. If you want to make a move, you have to pass my test first." Ming Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Zhuo, looking like me. Knowing your true nature, the distance between the two of them was shortened again immediately, leaving only two women beside them, cold-hearted and very cold-hearted, it was difficult for each other to perfunctory.

Yun Zhuo also shook his head cooperatively, sighed and said, "It's really sad that I have only this image in your eyes."

Being interrupted by Ming Yan, Yun Zhuo didn't even have a chance to introduce Dai Ran. Ming Yan was next to Lin Lan, so he could naturally see Lin Lan's nervousness.

"The relationship between the two of you is really good. Those who don't know think they are brothers." Ming Yan underestimated Dai Ran. Compared with dealing with each other, her skills are much deeper than Lin Lan. A word of flattery freed herself from the role of a wallflower. , a decent smile and very pleasing.

Yunzhuo looked at Dairan, and found that although she was smiling, her eyes were still cold, and she didn't care. Instead, she felt that this was Dairan, and she became more interested, and said in cooperation: "Hey, it's just feelings. Great, at first I thought he was a gentleman, but after getting along for a long time, I realized that this person is a wolf in sheep's clothing."

Yunzhuo looked like I was being cheated, and seemed to amused Lin Lan. Although he didn't laugh out loud, the smile on his face was very bright, and he could even squint his eyes to see the smile. The woman beside them was really Two extremes, Ming Yan and Yun Zhuo can't help thinking, but they have different tastes, and they don't think each other's female partner is so good.

For Yunzhuo, girls who are too real can't afford to play with them, and taking them home can only delay the other party. His future wife must not be a soft-hearted person.

For Yun Zhuo's ridicule, Ming Yan naturally backtracked unceremoniously, causing Yun Zhuo to make a lot of jokes.

"I haven't congratulated you for taking pictures of the beauty box just now. I'm an ordinary person, and when I saw that beautiful woman in makeup, I wished it was me." Dai Ran didn't get involved with them, but instead talked about the incense box. Her words sounded like There is a lot of self-deprecation, so that people will not feel that the other party is thinking about their baby, but that the other party has a good vision.

If Ming Yan didn't pay much attention to Lin Lan, then he would probably agree to let the servants take the incense box to take a look, but now he just nodded and didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Yun Zhuo, once he heard Dai Ran's words, he knew that the other party was unwilling to give up. If he just took a look at the box, it shouldn't be too difficult. He blamed Dai Ran for being Ming Yan before, but Dai Ran just didn't take it to heart. After all, he was still soft-hearted, and cooperated with Dai Ran and continued: "A beauty with a beauty fragrance box is a perfect match, and it's rare for two beauties to fall in love with it. Why don't you ask someone to take it and have a look, so that you don't have to worry about it all the time."

The last sentence Yun Zhuo said to Dai Ran was patted on Dai Ran's hand, and his tone of pity and pity fit his image.

It's fine if Yun Zhuo doesn't open his mouth, but once Yun Zhuo opened his mouth, Lin Lan knew that the incense box must be taken out. She glanced at Ming Yan, but saw that the other party was also asking for her opinion. Not so obvious.

As for what Yun Zhuo and Ming Yan said just now, even if the relationship between two people is only superficial, this superficial skill must be done well. Besides, it’s just a glance. Lin Lan tried to comfort herself, but her heart was wrapped around several times. The knot can't be slowed down.

Who knows what Dai Ran's plan is, if Ming Yan is not the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, it will be difficult to get the thing, it can only be said that Dai Ran is too good at seizing the opportunity.

Before the things were delivered, Yunzhuo and Mingyan continued talking and laughing, but neither of them noticed that the two women looked at each other through them, only the other knew, that was an inevitable determination.

At the banquet, although it is not a feast for the eyes, the guests come and go, and they all gather together to form small circles to win over the emotions.

And the conversation between Yunzhuo and Mingyan, even though it was in the corner, still attracted many people's attention, especially when someone presented the incense box with a tray, everyone looked at this side intentionally or unintentionally, It seems that this place has become the focus of the banquet.

Naturally, his subordinates did not dare to neglect the things that the big boss asked for. Even if the backstage was still dealing with the transaction, they had to put it down for the time being and put the things away and bring them over.

Almost as soon as she saw the incense box, Dai Ran's eyes lit up. Lin Lan was staring at her all the time, especially those hands, afraid that she would dare to do something in front of everyone.

As the hand holding the plate got closer, Dai Ran's eyes brightened up, like the stars in the sky, as if thinking of something.

Lin Lan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking all the time, if she were Dai Ran, what method could she use to get things away under the noses of so many people.

Drop bag. Drop bag!

Lin Lan immediately thought of something, she was dead, how could she have forgotten, Dai Ran had the cauldron furnace, she completely exchanged things in the space of the cauldron furnace, that space was obtained by blood contract, that is to say, except Dai Ran, other people can't find that space at all, unless they have some special skills or Dai Ran is dead.

How could she have forgotten that there was still space? What should she do? Lin Lan watched the tray getting closer and closer, feeling very anxious, and had to maintain that decent smile on the surface, even if the smile became weaker and stiffer.

Ming Yan was standing next to Lin Lan, even if he was talking with Yun Zhuo, he quickly noticed Lin Lan's strangeness, and grabbed her hand, so that Lin Lan didn't have to worry too much, if Dai Ran dared to be under his nose He also has enough reasons to kick the opponent out of the game by doing tricks, and his reputation will be ruined.

Lin Lan forced a smile, she knew what Ming Yan was thinking, and Ming Yan was afraid that there would not be enough reason to push Dai Ran away, but he didn't know that Dai Ran had space. The world is enough to make the three elders' status soar in the sect, and the sachet space that each of them got, I don't know how many people have spent their efforts to make it.
