The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Chapter 186 Auction (6)

But to Gu Lian's surprise, Jiang Liujing was very calm about this shocking "big news". He just said "Oh" briefly to indicate that he understood.

"Why aren't you worried at all? The power behind him is from the royal family of a great power. He's been trying hard to surpass you over the years, but it seems he hasn't been able to do so yet."

"Why should I worry?" Jiang Liujing said without hesitation, "Alundiel is very far away from both Ernst and the Dawn Empire. His hands and feet can't reach that far."

He and the people around him are not vegetarians. It is true that Hagadi is a prince, but isn’t Ignatius also a prince?

With his help over the years, Ignatius can be said to have grown rapidly.

Especially when facing setbacks and being inferior to others, he has now fully developed a strong heart. Even when Vita challenged Jiang Liujing and was frustrated after repeated defeats, he transformed himself into a comforting teacher and said the famous saying:

"There's no point in comparing yourself to Jiang Liujing. He's a freak, and you're just a genius."

If a student is a genius, breaks through two levels at the age of 9, is invincible among his peers at the age of 10, is selected as an association recommended student at the age of 11, and enters the academy with high spirits at the age of 12, then he can provide Jiang Liujing with a good collection of explosive kills.

It sounds a bit cruel, but this is how Jiang Liujing has been acting in the academy over the years.

"He is eyeing the first place." Gu Lian said.

"Then he can challenge me and take back the first place if he can do it." Jiang Liujing raised his chin slightly, a gesture with a hint of contempt.

Gu Lian thought, it’s over, he has learned bad habits.

When he first met Jiang Liujing, the child was well-behaved and would not behave like this. It was obvious that he learned this action from others.

He couldn't help but look at Chi on Jiang Liujing's right.

Noticing his gaze, the red-haired young man also turned half of his face from the shadows and slightly raised his chin towards him - at exactly the same angle.

It also has the same contemptuous meaning.

Gu Lian: “…”

If you provoke him again, he really won't be able to help but reveal someone's unknown little thoughts to Jiang Liujing.

Having been in a high and mighty position for more than ten or twenty years, it is impossible for Gu Lian to be truly without temper. In fact, the young master has a very bad temper, but he acts gentle and easy to get along with in front of Jiang Liujing.

He narrowed his eyes and casually asked, "By the way, why do you suddenly want to buy that elf?"

He could sense that although Jiang Liujing had some sympathy at first, he had no intention of intervening, and it was a sudden decision made later.

When the magic power of the elf's sacrifice was transmitted, the target was so single-minded that no one nearby could notice it.

Jiang Liujing was actually not quite sure what he was thinking at that moment, but the moment he was sacrificed, he almost instinctively rejected the approach of that power, so fast that before his consciousness could react, his body had already automatically rejected it.

Later, saving the elf was an extension of that feeling.

"Maybe I just don't want to see her die in front of me." He thought for a moment.

"So what then? You spent so much money to buy her, what are you going to do with her? A contract?"

Gu Lian's question instantly attracted the attention of several people.

Chi and Ajin both turned their heads, and the two birds on their legs also raised their heads, and four pairs of eyes stared at Jiang Liujing without blinking.

Obviously, they all want to know the answer to this question.

Liu An, who was standing by, interrupted and said, "Eight hundred and one thousand gold coins, isn't it a loss if you buy it without a contract?"

Chu Zhou shook his head: "Elves' combat abilities are generally not strong, which doesn't really suit your style."

"But elves have a high affinity for magical elements, right? Contracting an elf can speed up your training."

"My affinity is already quite high," Jiang Liujing said. The elf's additional support effect wasn't very useful to him.

He glanced at Chi and Ajin, then petted the two birds. His tone was gentle and soothing as he said, "I'm not going to sign a contract with her. I'd rather choose a new mythical beast that suits me. As for the money I paid for her, I'll have her work and slowly pay it back to me."

"Then she'll probably have to work for the rest of her life." Mo Ya complained. An ordinary person probably wouldn't be able to save even a fraction of this amount even if they lived to the end of their lives.

"I have a job that's suitable for her, and the salary is quite high," Gu Lian said suddenly. "In addition to their beauty and immortality, the elves also have another very famous characteristic - their singing is very beautiful."

"Elves are the race closest to nature. Their aura and songs can soothe mythical beasts. If you don't mind, rent her to me. The Gu family's mythical beast cub breeding base will need her."

Jiang Liujing glanced at him and suddenly said, "If I hadn't offered to buy her just now, you would have intervened, right?"

Compared to Jiang Liujing, the elves are much more useful to the Gu family. Now that Gu Lian has seen it, there is no reason to let it go.

But Gu Lian was also waiting.

——Until the last moment, merchants did not want to conflict with the royal family of a great country.

Gu Lian smiled gently like a spring breeze and did not answer.

Not answering already explained the answer. Jiang Liujing retracted his gaze and said, "I will ask her opinion and see if she is willing to agree."

Gu Lian said: "Then you can also mention to her that the Gu family will ensure her personal safety during her work."

The elf who showed up at the auction had most likely been kidnapped. Gu Lian suspected she was experiencing some post-traumatic stress. As a boss, he was still willing to consider the mental health of his future employees.

Mo Ya stared at Gu Lian for a while, looking him up and down, and suddenly said, "You care about her so much, giving her a high-paying job and ensuring her personal safety. Gu Lian, do you like that girl?"

"!!" Smelling the scent of gossip, everyone instantly looked at Gu Lian with burning eyes.

Mr. Gu was not only Jiang Liujing's investor, but also the one who issued their internship assignments at school. Although there had been rumors a while ago that he was pursuing Jiang Liujing, several people in the villa didn't quite believe it.

They had seen Gu Lian's enthusiastic collection of paintings of beautiful women seven years ago. This guy was simply a beauty lover.

The elf girl who had just appeared was obviously quite beautiful, so it was normal for Master Gu to be interested in her. Everyone instantly believed Mo Ya's guess to a certain extent.

Chi said lightly, "Oh," and exclaimed in a calm tone, "So you like her. I wish you success soon."

Gu Lian: “…”

He looked at Chi in silence, realizing the man's intention to add fuel to the fire.

But Jiang Liujing actually believed it and was surprised when he heard it: "Is that so? Gu Lian, you like her? Why don't you just give me 810,000 gold coins and take her away."

He felt that there was no possibility that Gu Lian would harm the elf girl, and Jiang Liujing felt embarrassed that he was the object of her pursuit.

Gu Lian: “…”

Gu Lian has no way to defend himself.

He looked at Jiang Liujing with difficulty and explained: "I'm not, I didn't, I don't like her."

Jiang Liujing looked at him disapprovingly and said seriously, "Gu Lian, although I've never been in a relationship, I heard one of my grandfathers say that if you want to find a partner, you must be honest and open. You can't hide anything, otherwise the other person will feel sad."

Gu Lian thought to himself what the hell this was.

He pressed his forehead with a headache, and was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger on Jiang Liujing. He could only glare at Mo Ya, who was the first to speak and was still smiling foolishly.

Just wait, little brat, there will be more "surprises" in his training missions in the remaining years.
