The Black-Clothed Person in the seat, his masked face, revealed a look of shock.
"How is this possible? Zhuge Lan actually lent it!"
The Gray-Clothed Person beside him let out a surprised sound.
"If he lends it, the other party might not return it. I've encountered this situation many times; he shouldn't lend it!"
The woman in the tight-fitting suit in the next seat exclaimed admiringly,
"This Zhuge Lan is truly a good man!"
Lin Tao gritted her teeth! She looked at Zhuge Lan, feeling increasingly good about him, but Tang Xu's request for a loan, any clear-eyed person knew it was impossible to be repaid. Zhuge Lan was doing this for her, so she couldn't harm him.
So she whispered,
"Young Master Zhuge, don't lend it."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's face changed drastically. This damn slut was actually helping an outsider at this moment. The Star of the Ocean definitely couldn't be given to the other party, and Zhuge Lan's loan truly surprised him. This fool, once he borrowed it and left this door, he wouldn't return it.
As for this slut, it would be a favor to give her away.
"Brother Zhuge, I don't want Taotao anymore; she's yours, how about it!"
After hearing this, Lin Tao's face turned ugly. She hadn't expected Tang Xu to be such a person, actually treating her as an item. What did he take her for? She angrily shouted,
"Tang Xu, what do you count for? What right do you have to decide for me?"
The Black-Clothed Person in the seat waved his hand.
"This Tang Xu doesn't know the situation. Lin Tao, this great beauty, belongs to the Auction. When did she become his?"
The Black-Clothed Person beside him also couldn't help but say,
"Young Master Zhuge, I know you are righteous, but for such a person, you still shouldn't lend."
The woman in the tight-fitting suit sitting nearby also casually said,
"Young Master Zhuge, don't lend it. Sister, I approve of you and Taotao."
Zhuge Lan angrily said,
"Tang Xu, Taotao is precious and sacred in my heart. You apologize to Taotao immediately, otherwise, I won't lend you money."
Tang Xu gritted his teeth. In this situation, apologizing to this slut Taotao, honestly, he was a thousand times unwilling, but seeing the burly men exuding spirit power beside him, he reluctantly said to Lin Tao,
"Taotao, I'm sorry, it was my fault."
After hearing this, Lin Tao looked at Zhuge Lan, and for some reason, she felt a special sense of security. Because of this, she said somewhat charmingly,
"Brother Zhuge, thank you."
Her voice was very pleasant to hear, with a tingling sensation.
Zhuge Lan's face showed a hint of infatuation. This feeling was truly too good. He also knew at this moment that with a little more effort, the beauty in front of him would throw herself into his arms.
Dugu Bo, who was beside him, unseasonably said,
"Zhuge Lan, your little lady Su Biluo is still waiting for you at home."
Zhuge Lan gave an awkward smile and quickly explained,
"I know, I know. I'm just making a normal friend. Look how nervous you are."
Tang Xu was filled with anger, especially at the coquettish way Taotao called him 'brother'. How he wished Taotao was calling him 'brother' instead of this Zhuge Lan. But now he needed to borrow money, so he would endure it. He would see how he would deal with this Zhuge Lan later.
"Zhuge Lan, is this enough now?"
Zhuge Lan smiled disdainfully.
"This is just punishment for your disrespect towards Taotao just now. As for what I want you to do, it's actually very simple: call me 'Dad', and I'll lend you the money."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. This Zhuge Lan was truly clever. He just knew that this Tang Xu was going to have bad luck.
The Black-Clothed Person in the seat burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, so that's how it is. Zhuge Lan is really smart!"
The Gray-Clothed Person beside him also added,
"I'm dying of laughter. Now Tang Xu won't be able to borrow money either. That's great."
The woman in the tight-fitting suit beside him shook her head.
"That's not necessarily true."
Tang Xu's face showed anger, and he shouted loudly,
"Zhuge Lan, don't push your luck too far! I am the Young Master of the White Elephant Family. Do you dare to make me call you that?"
Zhuge Lan waved his hand, a hint of disdain on his face. Let alone being the Young Master of the White Elephant Family, even if Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall called him 'Dad', he would dare to answer.
"Call me if you want, or I won't lend you money. I'll count to three. If you don't call me after three seconds, the money won't be lent."
"Three."
Tang Xu's face was ashen. He was very anxious. What to do? What to do? There were only three seconds, no time to think, whether to call or not.
"Two."
Calling him would be too embarrassing! He was the Young Master of the White Elephant Family! But there was no time left. If he didn't call, wouldn't his previous bowing be wasted?
"One."
Forget it. At worst, he would be punished when he returned, but at least he wouldn't be locked up at the Auction and have his family come to redeem him.
"Dad."
"Good, my good son."
Zhuge Lan said happily. This foolish boy was truly incredibly stupid.
Dugu Bo, who was beside him, looked at Tang Xu in the distance and shook his head helplessly. This young master was truly foolishly naive. With Zhuge Lan's cunning nature, Tang Xu wouldn't get any advantage.
The Black-Clothed Man in the seat showed a look of astonishment.
"He actually called him. He really called him."
The Gray-Clothed Person beside him said awkwardly,
"This young master is truly embarrassing. If it were me, I would rather die than call him that."
The slim woman beside him said with a mischievous smile,
"I knew it would be like this."
Tang Xu's face was very dark. He regretted it deeply at this moment. He would probably be severely scolded by the family, but since he had called, he had to get what he wanted.
"Zhuge Lan, I've already called you. Give me the gold coin."
Zhuge Lan smiled and nodded, taking out a gold coin from his pocket and having a staff member bring it to Tang Xu. Tang Xu looked at the single gold coin in front of him, utterly confused.
"Zhuge Lan, what do you mean? One gold coin?"
Zhuge Lan nodded, shrugging his shoulders and saying,
"That's right! I'm lending you one gold coin, and I won't charge you interest."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh. This foolish boy Tang Xu would probably be infuriated to death.
The Black-Clothed Person burst out laughing.
"Good, good, good. I didn't expect such a twist. Very good."
The Gray-Clothed Person in the seat beside him nodded and said,
"I didn't expect it! One gold coin is good! It'll also let this inexperienced fool gain some insight."
The slim woman in the seat played with the ring on her hand, a slight smile on her lips.
"Interesting, interesting."
Tang Xu picked up the single gold coin and angrily threw it on the ground, stomping on it fiercely. Then he looked at Zhuge Lan and angrily shouted,
"Good, good, good, Zhuge Lan, are you playing with me?"
The burly staff member beside him reminded him,
"Tang Xu, half an hour is up. If you don't pay, we may have to detain you."
"Shut up, I have money."
Tang Xu's face was gloomy. From an exquisite bag, he took out a uniquely shaped Soul Bone.
Suddenly, a cold and terrifying spirit power emanated from this Soul Bone.
