Chapter 45: The Auction Ends

The lights of thousands of homes gradually went out, and the bluestone road was paved with bright moonlight. The number of pedestrians is also decreasing. The stars scrambled to twinkle, and when everyone looked up, they could see a wide Milky Way.

The man standing behind the window is Liu Xiaji, the president of Yanagishita Jinchi. He looked in the direction where everyone was going, and his eyes were a little confused.

"Elder, why did the mysterious person who put these items on our loan this time not want to sell them to us, but only entrusted us to help him sell them, preferring to bear the high cost of assisting in the auction?" asked Su Fen puzzled.

"The world is complicated, how can we understand the thoughts of these people. This mysterious man is very persistent and extraordinarily powerful. He said that these things are for those who are destined. Those who are destined will get it, but they are not willing to sell it to us directly. Among them, there are indeed a few treasures. Liu Xiaji shrugged, "But I can't afford to mess with that mysterious person, so I have to follow the rules, and I don't dare to install my own people to participate in the auction." ”

Su Fen didn't ask anything more this time, but looked over Liu Xiaji's shoulder and looked at the starlight in the sky.

As soon as Sichen was halfway there, he was picked up by the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion. After Si Chen entered Liuxia Jinchi and showed the jade pendant of the City Lord's Mansion, Liuxia Jinchi sent someone to the City Lord's Mansion to confirm, and constantly sent people to bring some real-time status of Si Chen's bidding, and now that it is over, Zeyang naturally wants to take someone to escort him back.

Yin Ning and the others didn't follow, the City Lord's Mansion was too depressing after all, how could there be an inn to stay comfortably. made an appointment with Si Chen for tomorrow's meeting time, and walked towards the inn together.

When Sichen arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he went straight to Zeyang's residence.

"Grandpa!" Sichen shouted before he could enter the door.

"I'm back. Zeyang was in the study, and when he saw Si Chen walking in, he also smiled and said, "What treasures have you photographed?"

"Don't say. Sichen sat down and drank a cup of tea, "But I'm going to show you something." ”

After saying that, Sichen took out the stone.

"Eh, I said you bastard, why are you picking up such a big broken stone?" Zeyang scolded.

"I didn't pick it up, I bought it at auction. Sichen said, staring directly at the broken stone.

Zeyang heard that it was an auction thing, and he also became serious, Yuan Li penetrated into the stone, and found that there was nothing special at all, "You kid is teasing me, Liuxia Jinchi will sell this broken thing, there are a lot of gardens in my house, according to this, I am still rich?"

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the dignified city lord couldn't see the special features of this stone?" suddenly heard a man's hearty laughter in the courtyard.

"Who!" Zeyang shouted.

A man stepped into Zeyang's study, holding a paper fan, with an extraordinary temperament.

"Who should I be, it turns out to be the president of Yanagishita Golden Pond. Zeyang smiled and gave up his hand, and ordered someone to serve tea, "I don't know what President Liu is doing when he comes to my City Lord's Mansion?"

"I'm not here for you, I'm here for him. Liu Xia pointed to Si Chen.

"What does this have to do with my grandson. What's the matter, you Liuxia Jinchi tricked it into buying a broken stone, do you feel guilty to apologize?" Zeyang said with a smile.

"Liar, Lord of the City, what you said is thanks to our old friendship for more than ten years, if it were someone else, I would not be able to fight with you. Anyway, when did you have a grandchild, I don't know. Liu Xiaji shook the fan in his hand and asked Si Chen, "This little friend, do you think this is a broken stone?"

Si Chen shook his head, "If you don't know the reason, when you see this stone, you will naturally think that this is just an ordinary stone. But I saw something that made me value this stone. ”

"Oh, this stone has no fluctuations, just now your grandfather tested it with Yuan Force, and there is nothing special about it, how can you see that it is extraordinary?"

"From where I was sitting at the auction, I could see the face of the auctioneer, Miss Sophie, from the windowsill. When she lifted the curtain, I saw a flash of surprise on her face. It stands to reason that the auctioneer had already seen all the lots before the auction, but when she saw the stone, she had such a puzzled expression on her face. So I guess when this lot is in the background, it's not a stone at all. ”

President Liu nodded approvingly and said to Zeyang, "You have a bright apprentice. He put away the fan, pointed to the stone, and said, "There is no prototype yet, do you want me to cut a few knives at your broken stone?"

Ze Yang was about to laugh at him, but he was surprised to see that the stone began to shake slightly.

The demon frowned at the stone, and then suddenly ran out of the door and disappeared.

"When we first got our Yanagi Golden Pond, it was just a rabbit. That's why Su Fen was so surprised, thinking that the items had been exchanged, so she had to bite the bullet and continue the auction. But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, so I came over to take a look, and I didn't expect it to be the case. Liu Xiaji said, "This time it's cheaper for you kid." But I'm willing to pay 5,000 gold to buy it from you. Would you like to? ”

Si Chen shook his head, and didn't look at Liu Xiaji, just stared at the stone. And the stone seemed to be reluctant to change.

Seeing this, Si Chen hugged his fists at Liu Xia and said, "Senior Liu, no matter what it is, it already belongs to me. It will not be transferred out again, I still have things to deal with now, I may not be able to accompany each other, and I hope that the elders will not blame. ”

Liu Xia stopped talking, so he had to sigh, "Okay, since that's the case." I don't force it anymore. He clenched his fists at Zeyang and left the City Lord's Mansion.

Zeyang looked at Liu Xia and the distant back, and closed the door with a wave of his hand.

Not long after Liu Xia left, the stone gradually appeared as a child's face, then stretched out its limbs, and finally turned into a boy slightly smaller than Sichen. He shivered on the ground, obviously afraid.

"Is this your essence?" asked Sichen. Then he squatted down and touched the child's head. It calmed him down.

The boy didn't seem to hear any words, just curled up and trembled.

"Hungry, aren't you?" Sichen picked up a piece of pastry from the table and handed it to the boy.

The boy looked at the pastry, then at Sichen's eyes, and then without saying a word, took the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zeyang placed the whole plate of pastries in front of the boy and poured him a glass of water to prevent him from choking.

Sichen stroked the boy's head and remained silent. Just like that, I watched the boy keep stuffing pastries into his mouth, sometimes choking so quickly that he kept pounding his chest.

After a stick of incense, the boy finally finished the last piece of pastry, drank the last glass of water, and stroked his stomach. Apparently the appetite has been satisfied.

"Are you full?" asked Sichen softly.

The boy nodded, then shook his head again, looked at Sichen and said, "Don't kill me." ”

Si Chen sighed, "What are you talking about, how could I kill you." We are all children. You don't have to be afraid. Sichen pulled the boy up, "My name is Sichen, what's your name?"

"Tianshuo. The boy spoke for the first time, but the voice had a special pull, immature and a little weak.

"Tianshuo. Sichen whispered the boy's name, "You can call me brother in the future." Don't worry, with me, I won't let others bully. ”

"Really?" Tianshuo looked up at Si Chen, wanting to get an answer from his eyes.

"Of course. You'll be my brother from now on. No one can bully you. Sichen touched the back of Tianshuo's head, and then pulled him to Zeyang's face.

"Grandpa. Tianshuo reminds me of when I was a child. I am glad to have the nurturing grace of Master, but when I saw this situation, I wandered alone in this world, so I wanted to protect him as if he were a younger brother. ”

Zeyang looked at Tianshuo's eyes, and after a while, he made sure that there were no distractions in those immature eyes, and finally nodded, "I don't object to your decision." Since he is your younger brother and my grandson. Remember to call grandpa in the future. ”

Si Chen saw that Zeyang also smiled before relieving his heart, and then said, "Grandpa, I'll take Tianshuo back to the room first." When I know what is going on, I'll come back with you tomorrow after the preliminary round. ”

Zeyang nodded, "Go ahead." If you need anything, just say it. He squatted down and touched Tianshuo's head, "And you, little one, do you want to remember to let grandpa know?"

Tianshuo didn't dare to look at Zeyang, so he could only lower his head and call his grandfather timidly.

Sichen then took Tianshuo back to the room, and looked around and couldn't find the defeated demon, "Where did this naughty ghost go?" ”

"Who?" Tianshuo stood aside, a little reserved, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Ahh It is also a miracle that my pet, that is, my companion, usually lies in bed like a dead pig, but today he is nowhere to be seen. Sichen smiled, "Now, let's rest first, and then listen to your story." ”

Tianshuo nodded obediently and climbed into bed.

"That ......" Tianshuo hesitated.

"Call brother. ”

"Brother......" Tianshuo pinched his fingers.

"You don't have to be inhibited. Now you're my brother. What's so much to see. Si Chen waved his hand, extinguished the candle, and lay on the edge of Tianshuo, "Say anything you want." ”
