Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 53: Following One's Heart is So Quick

Tang San wanted to say something about Zhong Li's evaluation, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

If Dai Mubai hadn't provoked him, this Lord Zhongli might not have revealed his strength.

It should be noted that Zhongli was a guest advisor in the Crown Prince's residence, and even the Crown Prince himself was unaware of his true strength.

It's easy to imagine that Zhongli didn't want to reveal his cultivation level; he just wanted to quietly be an "ordinary person."

He had been in Tiandou City for quite some time now, and from time to time, he would hear some rumors about Zhongli.

Listening to music, shopping, drinking tea...

He was either listening to music and watching plays in a brothel, or drinking tea and listening to music in a teahouse.

Don't be fooled by Zhongli's youth. How could he be young if he could become a Title Douluo?

It's not surprising that they have these hobbies.

Tang San also did some research and found that Zhongli was considered a perfect person by the common people of Heaven Dou City.

Before revealing his cultivation level, he never used his strength to bully ordinary civilians.

Even after his identity was exposed, he remained the same as always.

Even though they were once "enemies," Tang San couldn't bring himself to hate Zhong Li, because he simply couldn't find a way to hate him.

The "culprit" is Dai Mubai, who is also one of his own. Although he made a mistake, how could Tang San blame his own people?

This is quite a delicate situation. Tang San didn't know what to say to Zhong Li, after all, that incident was in the past, and Zhong Li hadn't done anything wrong.

If it weren't for Zhongli's magnanimity, they might have already been reincarnated.

"I never imagined that the arrogant Prince Xuexing would be afraid."

"Indeed, only strength gives you the confidence to speak."

Tang San clenched his fist, his yearning for strength growing even stronger.

He hadn't forgotten being expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy so easily.

"He and I both possess twin martial souls. In the future, can I grow to his level?"

Thinking of this, Tang San looked towards the black VIP room number one. Although he couldn't see what was going on inside, it was a gesture of his own.

Tang San, engrossed in his brainstorming, was completely oblivious to Xiao Wu standing to the side.

Xiao Wu was trembling with fear and instinctively hid behind Tang San.

She didn't notice that Chen Xin, who was standing next to Ning Fengzhi, never took her eyes off her.

In the black VIP room number one, Zhong Li's eyes twitched, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

In the eyes of others, Prince Xuexing was the biggest playboy in the Heaven Dou Empire, and they were afraid of this "Your Majesty".

But Zhongli knew Xuexing's background; her forbearance was far stronger than an avalanche!

He had always suspected that "Xue Qinghe" had a problem, but he had no concrete evidence, so he kept quiet and taught Xue Beng that only by being a playboy could he survive.

In the original timeline, he succeeded.

After Xue Ye's death, "Xue Qinghe" was exposed. If Xue Xing hadn't helped Xue Beng take over, Xue Beng's takeover of the Tian Dou Empire wouldn't have been so smooth.

"Guest Advisor..."

Xue Qinghe winked at Zhong Li, as if asking whether he would accept Xue Xing's "kindness".

Anyone with eyes could see that this was Xue Xing giving himself a way out, and also a way to ease tensions.

Now, it all depends on whether Zhongli accepts it.

Zhong Li nodded. It didn't matter who paid to rescue the catwoman, as long as the goal was achieved.

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Xuexing finally felt relieved.

He suspected that there was something wrong with "Xue Qinghe", but he did not suspect that there was something wrong with Zhong Li.

Why is this?

It's quite simple. If Zhong Li is a spy sent by the Spirit Hall or the Star Luo Sect...

How could he possibly be a spy!

There's still a slight chance for a normal Title Douluo.

But Zhongli not only possesses a 100,000-year soul ring, he also has twin martial souls!

It's only a matter of time before he becomes the most terrifying single being on the Douluo Continent.

Sending someone like that as a spy?

Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?

Besides, if Zhongli is a spy, then he is a very incompetent spy.

Since the Emperor Xueye has offered so many benefits, he should take the opportunity to climb the social ladder, either becoming a royal retainer or a royal advisor.

What's the meaning behind his staying at the Crown Prince's residence?

Furthermore, and most importantly, Zhongli was brought to Tiandou City from outside by Dugu Bo, who also gifted Zhongli a mansion!

Who is Dugu Bo?

Zhong Li is from no family, he can't possibly be from the Spirit Hall!

"I regret it so much!"

Xue Xing sighed. He had thought that Dugu Bo had given Zhong Li a mansion because he admired Zhong Li's knowledge.

He didn't take it to heart.

To everyone's surprise, Zhong Li was actually a Title Douluo even more powerful than Dugu Bo...

When Xue Qinghe met Zhongli, he did not know that the other party was a titled Douluo. He admired the other party's knowledge and thus recruited him as a guest elder.

Upon learning of this, Xuexing nearly smashed up the Prince's mansion!

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins for the first time!"

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins, second time!"

With things already escalated to this point, who would dare to raise the price further?

Raising the price would be tantamount to offending the Crown Prince, a Prince, and a Title Douluo.

Who would choose to die if they could live?

"Two hundred thousand gold soul coins, for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

"Bang..."

The auctioneer was very satisfied with the price; Prince Snowstar's offer was well above the market price.

He was quite surprised; he hadn't expected that the one who had taken a liking to this catwoman was actually that lord!

If she had known that Zhongli liked the catwoman, she wouldn't have gone to the auction house.

"Congratulations to the guest in Black Room 2 for successfully bidding on the final item of this auction!"

"This auction has come to a successful conclusion!"

Doesn't he know who's in the black VIP room number two?

He knew, but he couldn't call the other person by their name, even though the other person had already been "exposed".

The auction ended, and everyone gradually left the auction hall.

Those who successfully bid on an item go backstage to pay and collect it.

Xue Xing did not linger at the auction house. After settling his bill, he left decisively.

Xue Qinghe then led Zhongli and Paimeng backstage to collect the auction items.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty Zhongli, Prince Xuexing has already settled the bill. This catwoman belongs to Your Majesty Zhongli."

The staff member said with a smile.

"You can go now."

"yes!"

After the staff left, Xue Qinghe, Zhong Li, and Paimon began to examine the cage in front of them.

The catwoman was still locked in the cage, hiding in a corner, watching the three of them warily.

Like a cat that could unleash its wild side at any moment.

"Zhongli, Zhongli, let's release her. She looks so pitiful."

Paimon said, feeling a pang of pity.

The staff had previously handed the key to Zhongli to make it easier to open the cage.

"Um."

In a short while, Zhongli opened the cage, but the catwoman showed no intention of coming out, still watching the three of them warily.

She was an item up for auction, so she naturally heard the auction process.

She also realized that the three people in front of her seemed to have unusual identities, especially the one named Zhong Li...

Let's give the catwoman a name.
