Chapter 25: The Peering of the Bright Moon, Stones at the Auction
However, what surprised Xingyuan was that Haoyue also noticed him.
Four large eyes like citrine fell on him, as if sizing him up and examining him.
Haoyue now has two heads, and each head represents an elemental attribute.
Even if Xingyuan didn't use his eyes to see, he could sense the light and fire elements contained under Haoyue's two heads.
As Haoyue got closer, Xingyuan frowned slightly, wondering why it had shifted its attention from the item on the auction table to himself.
"Haoyue!"
Although Long Haochen could feel that Haoyue was just curious about Xingyuan and had no intention of attacking him.
But after all, Xingyuan and Haoyue are not familiar with each other at all. What if he hurts Haoyue in defensive purpose?
Thinking of this, Long Haochen instantly stood between the two of them, held down Haoyue's two heads and apologized to Xingyuan.
"nothing."
After all, at this stage, Haoyue was just an ordinary demon beast, and the blood buried in his body was still dormant. If anyone really wanted to attack him, he was confident that he could subdue him...
But why does Haoyue care about me so much, even more interested in me than the item being auctioned off in the audience?
Xingyuan couldn't explain why this happened. He could only keep this doubt in mind and plan to explore it more slowly in the future.
"Haoyue, are you saying you want that stone?"
Seeing that Long Haochen was unwilling to let himself get close to that human, Haoyue explained to him why it suddenly teleported here.
Long Haochen and Haoyue are knight and mount partners, so they are naturally in tune with each other and can understand each other without communication.
It can be seen that Long Haochen is surprisingly good to Haoyue.
The starting price given by auctioneer Xing Xuan for the stone on the cart on the auction table was 10,000 gold coins.
You have to know that these ten thousand gold coins are not a small amount. Even before Xingyuan came here to sell pills, he couldn't come up with so much money.
So Long Haochen was also in a dilemma.
He couldn't come up with so many gold coins.
Borrow from my sisters?
No, they don't have much money on them...
Borrow from Xingyuan?
Long Haochen turned his gaze towards Xingyuan, his lips slightly opened.
"I'll lend you."
However, before Xingyuan could speak, Lin Xin on the other side spoke first, "Hey, brother Haochen, you want that stone, right?"
"Ah."
Since Lin Xin, the "businessman", offered to lend him the money, Long Haochen would not ask Xingyuan for it.
He didn't know why, but he didn't really want to owe the other person a favor.
"Please rest assured, Lin Xin, I will return the money to you before the end of this selection competition."
Long Haochen also knew that this amount of money was not a small sum, and added: "I'm not lending you this money for nothing, I'll pay you interest."
Lin Jialu and Li Xin, who were listening nearby, felt that this was inappropriate.
It is true that Xingyuan is a serious person, but this Lin Xin is not.
He always calls Xingyuan his brother, as if the two of them have a very good relationship. But it turns out that he calls any man brother.
When they first met, he didn't even know Long Haochen's name but called him brother. Now he wants to lend Long Haochen 10,000 gold coins to buy a broken stone.
"Haochen, there's no need to borrow money from him."
Li Xin said, "Jialu and I will raise the 10,000 gold coins for you." Lin Jialu nodded, "And I don't want you to pay me back, just consider it a token of my appreciation. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to qualify for the competition."
After hearing this, Long Haochen hesitated and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xin refused to accept it. "Two beauties, I didn't even tell you that I wanted Hao Chen's interest. Why are you guarding me like a thief?"
"We have been on guard against you since you came into contact with us just now."
Li Xin is a straightforward person who can't hide her words. "If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."
After she finished speaking, she also reminded Xingyuan with good intentions, "Xingyuan, although you are strong and smart, you must be careful not to be deceived by this guy."
"He can't lie, and he doesn't dare to lie to me."
Seeing that Lin Xin was being unreasonably suspected, Xingyuan did not just stand by and watch, "Although he has a lot of small ideas, he never kills for money.
He likes to take advantage of small things, but can't bear to see others lose all their money.
He likes to take advantage of women, but he has the desire but not the courage to do it.
You can't keep secrets from your mouth, and you like to talk nonsense..."
Lin Xin was confused and asked hurriedly, "Wait, Xingyuan, which side are you on?"
"… Sorry, I just got inspired."
Xingyuan coughed twice and said, "Since you don't trust him, I will vouch for him.
If he uses the debt of 10,000 gold coins to force Long Haochen to do something, how about I pay the money back? If necessary, I can sign a contract with you. "
"No need to bother."
Lin Xin waved his hand and said, "I also believe in Xingyuan, for his sake. I don't want your interest on this money, brother Haochen, and I won't set a repayment date. You can pay it back whenever you want."
But Lin Xin is naturally not a person who will suffer a loss. "And I want to make a deal with you. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. As long as this deal can be made, I will not take the ten thousand gold coins from you."
"...Okay, thank you, Brother Lin Xin."
In fact, Long Haochen also felt that the deal Lin Xin mentioned might be a trap. Although he was young, he also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
But he felt embarrassed to ask his two sisters to pool money for him to buy a stone that he was not sure whether it was useful or not. They had already taken good care of themselves, and he couldn't let them spend any more money.
"Row!"
Lin Xin was also not vague. Seeing that Long Haochen agreed, he directly pressed the button on the table and made a bid to buy the stone item on the table.
Since too little information was given about this item, and the starting price was not cheap, it was an item that should have been unsold. Therefore, no one bid against Lin Xin, and he directly won the bid at the starting price.
Before the staff delivered the things here, Lin Xin quietly walked to Xingyuan.
"What kind of business are you planning to do with Haochen?" Xingyuan asked knowingly.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Lin Xin shook his head and stretched out his hand to him.
Xingyuan looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What?"
Lin Xin made a hushing gesture, then whispered in his ear, "Lend me 10,000 gold coins."
Xingyuan: “?”
After a moment of confusion, Xingyuan finally reacted.
Because both he and Lin Xin were selling pills here at the same time, Lin Xin didn't make much money here.
Besides, he was not like himself, who was willing to pack up all the extra pills and sell them at a low price. He had spent a lot of money to buy treasures before, so he really didn't have many gold coins on him now.
