Chapter 40 Goodbye Letilia
Xia said calmly: "I'm sorry, he is my friend, not a servant."

The waiter's face froze instantly.

The hand that was originally stretched out to ask for the invitation letter stopped awkwardly in the middle.

Luo Qiu was a little surprised by Xia's action. He took out the invitation letter from his arms and put it in the waiter's hand, saying helplessly: "This is my invitation letter."

The waiter accepted Luo Qiu's invitation with a grateful look on his face, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

Luo Qiu secretly shook his head when he heard this. It's not that he was magnanimous, but the 'Golden Armor of Thorns' was still to be auctioned here, so naturally he had to give Starlight Trading Company some face. He was too lazy to care about such a small matter.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good person?"

Facing Xia, who seemed to be completely unaware that he was playing the nice guy card, Luo Qiu asked unhappily, "Do you think I look like a nice person?"

"Hmm... seems a bit similar?" Xia tapped her chin with one hand and blinked her big eyes.

Not wanting to bother with the girl, Luo Qiu headed straight for the elevator on the top floor of Starlight Commercial Bank.

The elevator can be said to be an elevator from another world. Its principle is almost the same as that of an elevator, except that it runs on magic power instead of electricity.

In front of the elevator, Luo Qiu saw someone familiar.

Letilia, she is still as radiant as ever after two days' absence, her golden hair falling to her waist like silk, a faint smile on her lily-like face, she seems to be chatting with the middle-aged man next to her.

At the same time when Luo Qiu saw her, Leticia also noticed Luo Qiu's existence, and her originally bright smile froze.

"Leah, what's wrong?" Drayton felt strange when he saw his daughter suddenly stopped talking.

"Hey, isn't this Letilia? How about the clothes I bought from that store last time? Are they suitable for you?" Xia's eyes lit up when he saw Letilia, and he forcibly pulled Luo Qiu and strode towards her.

"Xia, long time no see..." Letilia forced a smile on her pretty face.

"It's not been that long. I think I saw you dating someone in my store two days ago." Xia looked innocent.

"That's not a date!" Leticia subconsciously corrected the mistake in Xia's words.

"Oh...it's not a date. I thought you found a boyfriend."

Looking at Xia with a smile on her face, Letilia criticized her a thousand times in her heart. Xia must have seen the conversation between her and Luo Qiu clearly that day, otherwise she would never tease her like this, and she even teased her like this in front of Drayton. This girl must have done it on purpose.

"Boyfriend!" Drayton's eyes lit up when he heard Xia mention these three.

Could it be that my daughter has been secretly dating a boy behind my back?
Of course Drayton knew Shia. After all, Heaton's Paradise was very famous in Roselowe, and Drayton himself would often bring his subordinates or guests there for dinner. He also knew Shia, the eldest daughter of Heaton's Paradise, and he also knew that she had a good relationship with his baby daughter.

Xia's half-joking words this time pierced Drayton's heart directly.

If my daughter really has a boyfriend, I must investigate her carefully. After all, she is my only daughter and I can't just give her to some guy casually.

Drayton, who was always worried about his daughter's life-long affairs, suddenly became anxious and worried.

It must be said that the Adventurer's Guild President's imagination is quite strong. "Uncle President, you and Letilia are here too." At this time, Xia also noticed the Adventurer's Guild President who had a very low presence.

Xia quite likes Guild President Drayton. The reason is simple: every time the Adventurer's Guild President goes to Heaton Paradise, he is generous and Xia always gets satisfactory tips. Naturally, Xia greets him warmly every time he sees him.

"Xia, I haven't seen you for a while. You've become more beautiful. This is..." Drayton originally planned to ask Xia about his daughter's boyfriend and other things, but when he saw a young man next to her who seemed familiar, he felt a little strange. It was obviously the first time they met, why did he feel familiar?

"He..." Xia glanced at Letilia with a smile and said, "He's a good friend of mine. Letilia also knows him."

"He knows Leah too?" Drayton became even more curious. As far as she knew, Letilia had very few male friends, and she usually only interacted with those male colleagues.

Leticia felt three gazes filled with different emotions: teasing, helplessness, and curiosity.

She moved her lips and said woodenly, "He is the rookie adventurer who completed the most difficult rookie mission. Dad, you know that too."

"I remember! You are... Mr. Luo Qiu, right?" After his daughter's reminder, Drayton finally remembered.

The sudden appearance of an adventurer who had completed the most difficult rookie mission in the guild naturally attracted the attention of the entire Adventurer's Guild from top to bottom. Even Drayton, the president, personally went to see the image appendix on the gray steel epaulette that had been tampered with by Luo Qiu.

Although he had never seen Luo Qiu in person, he had seen Luo Qiu's general appearance in the surveillance magic photo in the Adventurer's Guild, so he felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

"I'm Luo Qiu." Luo Qiu nodded indifferently.

Luo Qiu roughly guessed the identity of this man. Letilia's father, Drayton, was also the president of the Roselowe Adventurer's Guild. He was considered a big shot.

But what does this have to do with him? Luo Qiu really doesn't like being scrutinized.

As a former "sky thief", Luo Qiu is very sensitive to all kinds of gazes.

Drayton was originally very curious about this adventurer who had completed the highest difficulty novice. He knew what it meant to be able to complete a task of this level. This meant that a future glory-level adventurer might be born in Roserowe.

This is a great honor for every Adventurer's Guild, and it may even allow Rose Lowe's Adventurer's Guild to reach a higher level with its reputation.

Although the Glory level is a bit far away, as long as Luo Qiu can reach the Gold level, he will be able to provide Drayton with a lot of help.

Just as many thoughts flashed through Drayton's mind, he inadvertently discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the way his daughter looked at Luo Qiu.

That evasive look, at first glance it looks like... the look you give to someone you like!
Just like myself back then, before I pursued Letilia's mother, I had that feeling of admiration in my heart but not daring to say it out loud.

Plus, Drayton suddenly remembered that it was his daughter who first mentioned this guy named Luo Qiu to him...

So Drayton's eyes changed again when he looked at Luo Qiu.

He had forgotten all about the rookie adventurer who had passed the most difficult rookie mission and the future glory-level adventurer. Now his eyes were like those of a father-in-law testing his son-in-law.

Luo Qiu got goosebumps when he saw this, and moved behind Xia without leaving a trace.

In such a strange atmosphere, several people boarded the elevator to the auction house.
