Dragon Sovereign

About ten minutes later, Zhang Fan was able to clearly see that Liu Ruyan had already arrived at the auction platform.    

    

Seeing the alluring figure immediately attracted the gazes of everyone present, a sliver of emotion appeared in his eyes. He felt rather proud in his heart. Wasn't this woman his?!    

    

At this moment, Liu Ruyan seemed to have felt their gazes. She raised her head and looked at him. There was gentleness in her eyes, but very quickly, she retracted her gaze and started to host the auction.    

    

Making full use of a woman's skills, Zhang Fan was very intelligent, and his mind was meticulous. As he looked at the woman, an indescribable emotion could be seen in his eyes.    

    

After a long while, his gaze landed on the little magical beast in his embrace and he gently caressed it. Yue Yi and Ouyang Xian`er's figures flashed through his mind once more, and a blurry image appeared once more. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the auction stage once more.    

    

He still had to work hard. If he didn't work hard enough, how could he protect these people?! What if he was looking for his parents? What about that girl who had experienced life and death with him, Wang Yao?    

    

Sighing to himself, Zhang Fan's eyes became increasingly determined. He had relaxed for a long time. If he continued to relax, he might even become a cripple.    

    

The young magical beast looked at Zhang Fan's changing expression with a strange look in its eyes. However, it was very calm as it lay in Zhang Fan's arms.    

    

As time passed by, Zhang Fan, who was starving, simply ate some fruits that were placed on the table. Sitting there and watching others auction felt pretty good, and while he was sitting here, he also noticed that Liu Ruyan was looking in his direction, so he smiled. In fact, thinking back to the loneliness of his previous life and the comfort of his current life, he had learnt to cherish these two completely different feelings.    

    

cherish all these hard-won things    

    

Noon passed quickly. At this moment, the auction had reached a climax and the auction had entered its climax.    

    

Zhang Fan also observed it to see if there were any good items. However, the items being auctioned were all cultivation techniques, weapons, medicinal pills, magical beasts, and some other special items. However, those special items did not arouse Zhang Fan's interest, so he was now like a spectator.    

    

The auction continued until around two o'clock. At this time, Liu Ruyan stood on top and said a few words. She raised her head to look at Zhang Fan once more, then turned around and left, leaving everyone with a beautiful image.    

    

Seeing that the auction had ended, Zhang Fan was in no hurry to leave. He knew that Liu Ruyan would be coming over soon.    

    

Liu Ruyan came in with a charming look on her face, but he did not walk over. Instead, he said from the door, "I'll take care of some matters first, I'll come over in a bit. Wait here for a while now, you're not allowed to leave."    

    

"Okay." Zhang Fan nodded. So this woman was afraid that he would leave, so she came over to remind him. His eyes gradually began to show a hint of gentleness.    

    

Naturally, he wasn't in a hurry. After the match was over, he still had some time to rest.    

    

Time passed bit by bit. After Zhang Fan ate a few fruits, Liu Ruyan pushed open the door and walked in. After the door was closed, a fragrant aroma wafted into the air as Liu Ruyan sat beside Zhang Fan.    

    

At this moment, Zhang Fan discovered that there was a bit of sweat on his forehead. His eyes revealed a strange expression, and he extended his hand to help her wipe it away. "You're tired?"    

    

"Isn't this all your fault?" Liu Ruyan rebuked.    

    

"Blame me," Zhang Fan said, clearly surprised.    

    

"That's right!" Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with gentleness as she said, "My grandfather saw me find such an outstanding man and now that he handed over all the authority of the auction to me, do you think I wouldn't be tired?"    

    

"Uh …" Zhang Fan smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long time, he said, "You can't blame me for that."    

    

"It's all because of you!" Liu Ruyan blinked her eyes and said, "Tell me, how do you plan on making it up to me?"    

    

"Hmm, how about I devote my life to you?" Zhang Fan shrugged helplessly and said half-jokingly.    

    

However, Liu Ruyan was startled at first. Then, her eyes fluctuated and the corners of her mouth lifted. Her eyes became even more captivating, and her face became slightly red as she said, "You said so! You're not allowed to go back on your words!"    

    

"Eh …" Zhang Fan was stunned. Then, he looked at Liu Ruyan with an extremely serious expression. His expression was a bit strange, then he said, "You can't be serious, right?"    

    

"Of course!" Liu Ruyan nodded lightly. She hugged his arm and chuckled, "Why do you regret it?"    

    

"Cough … cough …" Zhang Fan's lips moved. He was purely trying to find fault with himself. No matter how he said he regretted it, it didn't matter if he regretted it. After committing it, he felt that something was off.    

    

In short, he was the one who brought suffering upon himself, so he couldn't blame others.    

    

"Hehe." Seeing Zhang Fan's appearance, Liu Ruyan laughed out again. She had been tired for so long, but after sitting together with Zhang Fan, there was an indescribable sense of relaxation.    

    

"Okay, let's go. Go out and accompany me for a stroll," Liu Ruyan said.    

    

"Aren't you tired?" Zhang Fan asked.    

    

"Being together with you isn't tiring," Liu Ruyan said with a silly smile.    

    

"Alright, then let's go," Zhang Fan nodded lightly. He pulled Liu Ruyan to sit up, then led her to the main street.    

    

On the way out, he had felt the gazes of envy and jealousy from the surroundings. It didn't matter if he was used to it during the competition, so he couldn't feel anything now.    

    

Even if she had to blame something, it should be Liu Ruyan's charm that was too great right …    

    

After walking around the street, he didn't find many things to buy. However, as he walked around, Zhang Fan would occasionally look back. He had a feeling that someone was following them.    

    

However, every time he looked back, he didn't see anything.    

    

"What are you looking at?" Liu Ruyan asked Zhang Fan with a puzzled expression.    

    

"Oh, it's nothing. I just feel like someone is following us," Zhang Fan said.    

    

"Who is it?" After Liu Ruyan heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head around and look at Zhang Fan with a puzzled expression.    

    

"I don't know. Maybe it's just an illusion," Zhang Fan said. He didn't think too much about it and turned around with Liu Ruyan.    

    

After the two of them walked a distance, an old man walked out. As he watched the two people leave, he started to frown. Then, he turned around and left.    

    

As for Zhang Fan, who was behind them, he did not have that sort of feeling and thought that he was imagining things, so he did not think too much about it. He took Liu Ruyan around, but in the end, they did not buy anything, and it was basically a pure revolution.    

    

Finally, when the sky was still dark, the two of them went to the Pleasing Restaurant to eat some food and drink some wine. It wasn't until nightfall that the two of them came out.    

    

As the two of them walked past the residence, an old man stood in a room. There were two other people in the room: one was Dongguo Mutian, and the other was Dongguo Hongyan.    

    

At this moment, Dongguo Mu Tian frowned before looking at the old man, "Second elder, are you saying that the boy is carrying a Saint-rank magical beast? How is that possible?"    

    

"I feel that there won't be any mistake." The second elder said with an unspeakable solemn expression on his face.    

    

"How could that magical beast be a Saint-rank? No, definitely not!" Dongguo Chengyan couldn't believe it.    

    

"Shut up. It's all because of you, unfilial son!" Dongguo looked at him coldly. "You refused the gift that he sent to me!"    

    

Looking at his father's gloomy face, Dongguo Chengyan lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything else. Indeed, he knew he couldn't get that jade token back by himself, which was why he got his father to confess everything to him.    

    

"Second Elder, what should we do now? Is there a better way?" Dongguo's gaze landed on the old man. It was clear that he couldn't fight for it anymore, so he could only think of other ways.    

    

"Right now, the only thing that seems to be true is taking him with us to that place," the Second Elder said flatly.    

    

"How can we do that?" Dongguo Mu Tian's heart trembled as he quickly said this. He didn't want anyone else to get a share in this matter.    

    

"No one knows about the situation there, not even the ancestors of Dongguo. At most, they would just have obtained this jade plate and say how big of a storm he could cause. Once inside, if there is any danger, we can kill this kid. As for that magical beast, when the time comes, there will be a lot of people, so there is no need to be afraid." The second elder muttered.    

    

"Is there no other way?" Dongguo Mu Tian asked with a frown.    

    

"En, there's no more." The second elder nodded his head. In this situation, even if the experts from the clan were to make a move, they would definitely not meet Zhang Fan personally. After all, they had to consider the terror of a Saint rank magical beast.    

    

Dongguo Mu Tian took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked towards Dongguo Chengyan and said, "You're the one to be blamed. If it weren't for you, how would there have been so many troubles waiting for a chance to invite him to the Dongguo Clan?"    

    

"Yes!" Dongguo Chengyan nodded with a sad face. What could he do? That was his starting point, but who would have thought that it would be so important?
