Imperial Treasure

Chapter 360 - 251: Match-2 Game_2

Even in the past, when you had money, you couldn’t buy it. If you miss this chance, who knows how long you’ll have to wait?

So, before the auction began that afternoon, the place was swarming with the wealthy. In Gong Jiu’s words, if a fragment of an atomic bomb were to fall from the sky, the people it could kill in minutes would be worth billions combined.

His comment got Flower Demon quick to retort, "Are you including yourself?"

Uh, let’s just say I don’t count myself as part of that.

However, before the event started, Zou Xueqin caught up with Sui Yi.

"I heard that Miss Sui plans to auction only a third of the raw materials?"

"Was Mr. Zou not present yesterday and has to rely on hearsay today?" Are you blind? Didn’t you see Gong Jiu and company’s performance yesterday? Trying to probe like this...you’re asking for a scolding, aren’t you?

After dropping that line, Sui Yi didn’t look back and walked away.

Zou Xueqin was left with a wry smile, thinking how conversing with smart people sometimes isn’t all that comfortable, mainly because their style of talking is just too...

How much of an outcast is he?

Actually, Sui Yi seemed to have never really used provocative language, but behind that simple and straightforward speech was a bite that left you feeling a little drunk, like after a sip of wine.

It packs quite a punch afterward!

But, as Sui Yi walked to another spot...

"Miss Sui, won’t you sit here?"

The sudden voice of someone prompted Gong Jiu and Flower Demon to look, and upon seeing who it was, their expressions changed drastically.

Dammit, why did it have to be this guy!

"Yun Li!" Gong Jiu frowned.

"It’s me, Miss Gong" Yun Li said, his complexion much improved from the previous days, but he still looked quite weak, maintaining a gentle smile that seemed harmless to humans and animals, but Gong Jiu and the others knew all too well how twisted this person was.

In other words, this person’s past could be severely criticized as that of a psychopathic murderer and a sadist!

Even without strength, his twisted nature remained...

And there he was, blocking Sui Yi’s way, smiling, "Miss Sui, this seat was saved for you, don’t you dare to sit?"

Sui Yi glanced at him, "Thanks."

She sat down.

When it comes to combat power, this guy couldn’t hold a candle to Sui Yi. Gong Jiu and his companion could only leave with cold faces. As for Elder Tang and the others, who had only met Yun Li once, they recognized the tension and gave him a few more glances.

"Your people really do care about you, afraid that I’ll gobble you up."

"Not as trusting as the Yun family’s people seem to be, acting as if they couldn’t care less if I kept you in Xinjiang forever."

Yun Li chuckled and turned his face away, hiding the dark clouds and murderous intent in his eyes.

And the people in the row next to Sui Yi took their seats.

Xiao Xianting, upon seeing the two people next to him, furrowed his brow and greeted Sui Yi silently.

They did not speak.

Soon, the seat next to him was taken.

He could smell the perfume from afar and, though he wanted to stand up and escape, he rarely found someone who could make him beat such a hasty retreat.

That included Pan Ling.

"Mr. Xiao..."

Xiao Xianting nodded to the other person, maintaining the courtesy he wouldn’t discard.

No matter who it was.

However, when Pan Ling saw Sui Yi next to Xiao Xianting, her face shifted slightly, and then she glanced at Yun Li beside Sui Yi, her brow furrowed.

"Miss Sui... we meet again," Pan Ling greeted with a smile.

"As expected,"

"..."

What deep meaning was there in those words?

Those who were not quick-witted enough to get it like Zou Xueqin could only respond with a smile and no comment.

"Hehe, Miss Sui seems to know quite a few people,"

"Not necessarily all human,"

"..."

After successfully "pacifying" Yun Li and making him quiet, Sui Yi finally enjoyed some peace and watched what was happening before her, calm and composed...

Xiao Xianting felt that this person was daydreaming.

Those indifferent eyes could drift off into outer space, it seemed.

However... he slightly touched his nose with his finger, that scent... was it perfume? It seemed not...

It smelled fresh and long-lasting, entirely different from the woman to his left...

But would this person use perfume? Probably not...

As Xiao Xianting leaned his body to the side, Sui Yi turned to look at him; that split-second reaction made Xiao Xianting, whose body had just slightly tilted towards her, freeze in place.

There was an awkwardness that he didn’t quite know how to address.

After a moment, he deliberately kept his body tilted, calmly maintaining eye contact with Sui Yi.

Is there a problem with my habitual posture?

...I didn’t ask anything, though.

Their eyes locked in a silent confrontation for a brief second.

Sui Yi calmly turned her face away and started toying with her phone.

"Yo, you seem quite amused, dear Miss Sui," a clear and slightly frivolous voice came from behind her, making Sui Yi raise an eyebrow. Yun Li turned his head to look and saw a woman’s lovely face with a degree of intoxication that could be considered top-notch among the women he had played with, as well as the elegant blue dress and the silver necklace around her neck that highlighted her fair beauty admirably, not to mention the mischievous "demon" in her smirk.

She was no stranger.

"Liang Qing, it’s been a while... oh, and Mr. Wei Feng,"

Wei Feng’s arrival definitely surprised Yun Li, who also had his suspicions about what he didn’t know that was happening in the midst, was this sudden appearance related to Sui Yi?

Clearly, it was related, because Liang Qing was already leaning against the back of Sui Yi’s chair, looking down, "For Miss Sui to ignore the two wealthy, handsome men by her side and concentrate like this, I wonder what interesting book it is... I remember you have always been interested in ancient texts."

At one glance, her expression froze.

Ancient texts?

Xiao Xianting openly glanced over.

What was this?

Multicolored squares...

A group of people generally focused on making money, killing, and gambling on stones all frowned at that moment, not knowing what this thing was called.

"Miss Sui, is this some kind of code-breaking game? Or a Nine Palaces grid? It looks very complicated,"

"Matching game,"

"..."

Liang Qing was also rendered speechless, and Wei Feng chuckled.

You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you, Miss Sui. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
