When Zhuge Lan heard what Dugu Bo said, he panicked and waved his hands quickly:

"No, no, no, you old poisonous creature, you can't do this! If Biluo finds out, I'll be in trouble."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly:
"Are you scared now? It's too late! You caused this trouble yourself, so you have to bear the consequences yourself."

Zhuge Lan made a bitter face, approached Dugu Bo, and said flatteringly:
"Old Poison, we have been friends for so many years, you can't just stand by and watch me die. Just pretend nothing happened, okay? I promise that I will never cause trouble again in the future."

Dugu Bo looked at him with disdain:
"How credible is your guarantee?"

Zhuge Lan begged for mercy:

"Old poison, just give me a chance. If I am beaten by Biluo, who will accompany you to travel the world in the future? Besides, I was just impulsive. Miss Lin Tao is really beautiful, gentle and kind, so I couldn't help myself."

Dugu Bo thought about it meaningfully and said:

"If you want me not to tell you, that's fine, but..."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Zhuge Lan immediately guessed what he was thinking.

He said unhappily:
"Why, what do you want to do to me again?"

Dugu Bo smiled evilly:
"You know what I mean. If you want me not to tell you, then give me your treasure!"

Zhuge Lan had guessed that he would say this, and he immediately replied decisively:

"No! No way!"

Seeing how determined he was, Dugu Bo immediately turned around, picked up the tea on the coffee table, and took two sips.

Then he said calmly:
"Then you can't blame me. Go back and explain it yourself tonight."

Zhuge Lan tilted his head sadly and said to Dugu Bo in a flattering way:

"I know I was wrong, old poison. I will pay attention next time. How about this, when the auction starts, see if there is anything you want and I will buy it back for you. Is that all right?"

Dugu Bo thought for a while and said:

"Emm... Let's do it this way. I'll let you off this time, but here's a deal. You have to get me what I want no matter how much it costs!"

Zhuge Lan felt relieved and nodded quickly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it! By the way, Old Poison, when do you think the auction will start? I can't wait."

Dugu Bo looked at the time:

"It should be soon. Just sit there and wait, and don't cause any more trouble."

After a while, the sound of crisp high heels came from outside the door.

Zhuge Lan went forward without any hesitation.

"Beautiful Taotao, long time no see."

He half leaned against the door and made a super chuunibah move.

……

Lin Tao was speechless for a while, but still said to Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo with a smile:

"Gentlemen, the auction is about to begin. Please follow me to the auction venue."

Zhuge Lan stood up excitedly, straightened his clothes, and said to Lin Tao:

"Great, after waiting for so long, it's finally about to begin. Miss Taotao, you have to find a good spot for us."

Lin Tao smiled and said confidently:

"Don't worry sir, the VIP seats are all very good. Please follow me."

Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo followed behind Lin Tao. As they continued to move forward, they could vaguely hear a noisy sound. The sound became louder and louder, like surging waves, foreshadowing the spectacular scene that was about to appear in front of them.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the auction venue.

As you enter the auction venue, a solemn and mysterious atmosphere hits you.

The venue is spacious and tall, with dazzling crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, casting a soft and bright light.

The ground is covered with thick carpet, and footsteps fall silently on it, giving people a sense of calm and solidity.

Neatly arranged rows of seats, mainly made of dark red suede, exude elegance while giving people a sense of comfort.

The aisles between the seats are wide, allowing people to move around freely.

At this time, people were dressed in formal attire, talking in low voices or waiting quietly. The atmosphere was tense and full of expectation.

Here, every subtle sound seems to be amplified and every move is closely watched.

Lin Tao turned around, made a gesture of invitation to Dugu Bo and Zhuge Lan, and said:

"Please continue to follow me."

Lin Tao and Dugu Bo walked straight through the ordinary seats, went up half a flight of stairs and arrived at the VIP seats.

Compared with ordinary seats, VIP seats are more luxurious and noble.

The VIP seats are located in the best position in the venue, with a wide view, allowing you to clearly see every detail on the auction table.

The space here is relatively independent, with more comfortable sofa seats, and the soft leather exudes a faint luster.

The decoration of the VIP seats is also more exquisite, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and every stroke shows the style of a master.

The lighting on the ceiling is softer, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.

On the coffee table in front of the seats, there are exquisite fruit platters and fragrant drinks, which make people feel a little comfortable in the tense auction atmosphere.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire auction venue and take in the lively scene below.

Zhuge Lan looked around excitedly. He looked at the main stage of the venue, which was a huge auction table.

The auction table is made of precious wood and has been carefully carved and polished, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

His eyes were full of amazement, and he said to Dugu Bo:
"Oh my god, Old Poison, this auction is so spectacular! We really came to the right place today."

Dugu Bo also nodded slightly. He was also surprised by the magnificent scene of the auction.

Lin Tao took them to the designated location and sat down, then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, I hope you will have a pleasant auction experience here. The auction will start soon, please wait for a moment."

After saying that, she bowed slightly, turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing Lin Tao was about to leave, Zhuge Lan quickly spoke to keep her:
"Hey, beautiful Taotao, won't you come with us?"

Lin Tao paused for a moment, turned around, still with a professional smile on her face, and said softly:
"Sir, my job is to guide the guests to their seats. After the auction begins, I have other tasks to complete."

Zhuge Lan showed a disappointed look and said:
"That's a shame. With you here, I feel this auction will be even more exciting."

Lin Tao responded with a smile:

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I believe you will not be disappointed with the excitement of the auction."

After Lin Tao finished speaking, she turned and left.

After Lin Tao left, Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo sat in the VIP seats, eating the exquisite snacks on the coffee table, looking forward to the start of the auction.

Just then, a man in a gorgeous white suit stood in front of them... (End of this chapter)
