Above all spirits

Chapter 163 Interlude (Part 2)

Box No. 30.

Looking through the glass at the flashing green light and the somewhat agitated crowd, Xiangling felt a little anxious.

"Master, Mistress, what should we do now?"

Why would anyone offer such a high price?

"Could it be that someone recognized her elven identity?"

"But even I can only sense it faintly."

"If it falls into the hands of those powerful and wealthy people, wouldn't that be no different from death?"

The man pondered for a moment, and finally could only sigh.

"Ling'er, you don't need to worry about this for now."

“Normally, I would handle the negotiations with the auction house for you after the auction.”

"But this time is different. The person who is so generous must be someone important."

"I think you should know what's important."

"Let's try our luck. If we run into each other after the event, I can try to ask around for you."

"But if you don't meet her, it just means that girl is destined to be like this."

Xiangling sat down dejectedly.

"how so."

Of course she knows.

At this moment.

Those who can afford private rooms are most likely not from simple factions.

That's why she's worried!

Feeling a pang of pity, the woman rose and slowly approached Xiangling, gently patting her head as she spoke.

"You've already done right by her because of your feelings."

"Do what you are capable of."

"You need to understand this; it's very important in this world."

"Just do your best."

"Besides, it's not necessarily the worst outcome; maybe they'll live a good life in the future?"

“I know, Master’s wife.”

Xiangling gazed absently through the glass at the figure of her fellow clanswoman slowly walking down from the stage and into the background, and offered a prayer.

I hope you meet a good family.

...

Box No. 50.

Looking at the options displayed on the bidding device, Shang Wenqing's face was filled with barely suppressed joy as he asked Gu Yun.

"Gu the Demon Envoy, I've already taken him down. Hehehe, you scared me half to death."

"Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest. There's actually a bidder on the bidding machine offering 150 star coins."

"I don't know what their purpose was."

"Should we just have her come over now?"

Gu Yun nodded slightly.

"Please let her come over, thank you."

He then said with a smile.

"By the way, Uncle Shang, please stop calling me Gu the Demon Envoy from now on. Just call me Gu Yun."

Upon hearing this, Shang Wenqing quickly shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, saying...

"That won't do, no, no!"

“Master Gu, I’ve always been used to calling you that, and it’s really difficult to change it now. I’m afraid I won’t be able to change it anytime soon.”

Please forgive me, please forgive me!

Upon hearing such slick words, Gu Yun couldn't help but chuckle and casually replied.

"Fine, call me whatever you want."

...

Not much time had passed.

A soft, hesitant knock came from outside the private room.

Everyone present knew in their hearts that it must be the elven woman they had photographed.

The door to the private room was slowly opened, and two staff members followed behind her.

After everyone greeted the staff with smiles, they turned and left, leaving the woman alone in VIP room number 50.

however.

Before anyone could speak, the elven woman suddenly knelt down and kowtowed deeply with all her might.

Her voice trembled as she spoke haltingly.

"Thank you...thank you...thank you all."

"Thanks."

It seemed to take a great deal of effort for her to say each word, and she paused several times in between.

It took me a lot of effort to say those few simple words.

She could no longer suppress her emotions, and tears streamed down her face.

Then came a series of incessant sobs.

The cries contained a mix of grievances, gratitude, and a host of other complex emotions that were difficult to express.

Gu Yun frowned.

"You don't need to do this. Although I don't know why you're thanking us, don't worry, we filmed you just to ask you a few questions."

"It won't do anything to you."

"Get up and sit down first."

"After you've asked your questions, you may leave if you wish."

The elven woman stared blankly at the blood-red-eyed man, whose eyes, brimming with tears, should have sent chills down her spine.

His words seemed to have a magical power, making her obey involuntarily.

She stopped crying.

He rose shakily.

He did as instructed and sat down in a single chair that seemed to have been prepared in advance.

She rolled up her sleeves and wiped away the remaining tear stains on her face.

Gu Yun did not hesitate, and his voice rang out again.

Although Xiao Li had already told him some basic information.

The woman in front of me probably doesn't know much.

However, the system's appraisal report is ultimately just an overview; how could it possibly recount the woman's experiences over the past decades?

What if?

"what's your name?"

Gu Yun first probed to see if the woman was hiding anything.

The woman answered truthfully.

"My name is Daisy."

"Are they from the Elven race?"

Daisy nodded slightly.

But then, as if he had just thought of something, he quickly shook his head.

As she shook her head, a few slightly messy strands of golden hair swayed in the breeze.

She quickly reached out, gathered the strands of hair together, and tied them behind her head.

After doing all this.

Daisy looked up, her clear eyes meeting Gu Yun's blood-red eyes.

She believes.

It is impolite to look at your benefactor through the gaps in their loose hair.

At the same time, when speaking to others, you need to look them in the eye; this is a sign of respect.

These are all things her mother taught her.

She was just too scared before.

The elves are born with the ability to be sensitive to the body language of all living things.

therefore.

Despite the language barrier, they could naturally understand the meanings that various flying beasts wanted to convey.

Therefore.

Elf.

Also known as Nature's favorite.

On the clapping platform.

They were being stared at by those unbridled, malicious eyes.

How could she not be afraid of her future?

But she was lucky.

Although Gu Yun's eyes seemed to come from hell and the abyss.

But it didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all.

This also means that Gu Yun had no ill intentions towards her.

Her lips parted slightly, her voice still carrying a trace of the stickiness from sobbing, but she no longer hesitated.

"I am an elf."

"But in truth, my benefactor, I am only a half-elf."

Do you know the name Yunyin?

Everyone perked up their ears and secretly memorized the name.

after all.

Except for Xiao Li.

This was the first time they had heard this name from Gu Yun.

Daisy shook her head.

"Does my benefactor want to ask about a certain elf in the fairy world?"

"sorry."

“I have no good feelings towards the elves, and if I had known, I would have told you.”

"But I have lived in this human world as long as I can remember."

"I really don't know much about the elves."

"I've only heard my mother mention some things."

"If you're hoping to learn anything about the Elven race from me, I'm truly sorry."

Daisy paused briefly at this point.

"but!"

"My mother might know something about it."

It was as if they were worried that Gu Yun might change his mind and return to the auction house if he didn't get the information he wanted.

Daisy's voice sounded a little hurried.
