At this moment, Lin Rui was walking on the escalator that led to the seventh floor, exuding an aura that was oppressive and would keep others away from her.
She was really… afraid of thunder!
How could she not be afraid of it?
The female protagonist in some novels was terrified of thunder and would jump into the arms of the male protagonist as soon as thunder struck. They would then start whining and bawling.
Whether they were truly afraid of thunder or just wanted to gain the sympathy of the male protagonists was still debatable.
However, Lin Rui was genuinely afraid of thunder.
After all, in her previous life, she was struck dead by the thunder of the tribulation!
Not only was she afraid, but she also bore a strong hatred for it!
Lin Rui could still remember the feeling of the crackling lightning surging through her limbs when she was struck by the thunder and lightning.
That soreness…
Before her soul was destroyed and scattered, Lin Rui watched her physical body get burned down to ashes.
When she became a spirit in the end, she lost her sense of smell.
Otherwise, if she smelled something…
It was not as simple as an emotional and psychological trauma!
In her previous life, she was struck dead by lightning and thunder. Yet, in this life, she had to turn into a cultivator with a thunder Spiritual Root and deal with thunder all day?
Lin Rui was extremely resistant to that idea!
Qi Bao suddenly took pity on Lin Rui.
“Master…”
“It’s alright, keep this item with you first. I’ll try my luck at the auction upstairs.”
Lin Rui said very calmly and stubbornly.
Qi Bao thought that perhaps, they might get some good items during the auction on the seventh floor and thus put aside the 10,000-year-old thunderstruck wood.
When Lin Rui walked towards the entrance of the auction, she was stopped by two bodyguards in black suits.
“Sorry, only guests in formal wear are allowed into the auction.”
Lin Rui was dressed in casual clothes and still looked very young, so the bodyguards at the door immediately stopped her.
Lin Rui frowned and thought about it before taking off her cap.
She asked coldly, “Why haven’t I heard of such a rule in the antique mall?”
Her eyes were intense and her features were gorgeous, giving her an overwhelming aura.
In fact, there really wasn’t such a rule in the mall of antiques.
However, the bodyguards made that up because they thought that Lin Rui was just a random student.
After all, Lin Rui had removed her makeup and was wearing some casual clothes that she usually wore. There were changes in her tone of voice too.
One of the older bodyguards suddenly felt that the domineering young girl in front of him looked a bit familiar but could not quite put a finger on it.
He immediately asked carefully, “Here’s what happened. There are rules here that state that the family members of VIP guests would be permitted entry. Can you give us your name and let us check on it?”
Lin Rui thought, ‘This bodyguard thinks rather quickly.”
She said quietly, “I’m Lin Rui, Lin Zikang’s daughter.”
“What?” The bodyguard was stunned as her name was well-known in Jin City!
However, he felt that the pretty young girl in front of him looked different from the Lin Rui he remembered.
The younger bodyguards at the side immediately exclaimed, “Impossible! How can you be Miss Lin Rui!? Although I’ve never met her before, everyone knows that she likes dying her hair the colors of the rainbow, and every cell of hers screams hipster!”
“Cut the crap! Do you have a death wish!?” The older bodyguard kicked his new colleague.
Lin Rui sort of understood that the former owner’s previous reputation made her a household name.
She took out her ID card and showed it.
Lin Rui said calmly, “I am Lin Rui. If you don’t believe me, you can go to my father and check with him.”
“No, no, no, no need.” The older bodyguard immediately turned to the side and said respectfully, “Miss Lin, please come in, I’ll send you to the second floor where there’s a VIP room that’s specially reserved for Mr. Lin.”
“Sure.” Lin Rui nodded.
She was clearly a thin and vulnerable-looking young girl, but when she walked at the front, her aura was powerful.
The bodyguard was standing at 1.9 meters tall, but he felt extremely small in front of the young Lin Rui.
‘Is she really Miss Lin Rui?’
