In the afternoon, the weather outside was great.
The weather outside was nice. Just when Ye Chen was thinking if he should bring Mengmeng out to play, his phone rang. It was Gu Shaokun.
"Mr. Ye, there's an underground black market opening in the antique town this afternoon. Grandpa asked me to ask if you'd like to join."
Ye Chen said, "Underground black market?"
"Yes, it's the same as an auction. However, there are more things in the black market. There are many illegal things that are traded there such as weapons and ancient mummies."
Just when Ye Chen was going to reject him, he heard him say, "Oh yeah, grandpa said that the finale of the black market seems to be a magic tool. Even Elder Priest Qingyang of the Shenxiao Sect was shocked."
Magic tool?
Ye Chen's interest was piqued. He agreed after some hesitation, "Sure, I happen to be free today."
"Sure, I'll get my sister to pick you up."
Ye Chen left after informing his parents after hanging up the phone.
…
At the entrance of the Jinyang District.
A red Maserati was parked in the middle of the road in an overbearing manner, attracting the attention of many passersby. Although the car was parked illegally, nobody dared to say anything.
The luxury car was secondary. The main thing was that there was a beauty standing next to the luxury car.
Anyone would know that a person who could afford such a luxury car came from a wealthy family.
Gu Yingying crossed her arms in front of her chest. She was filled with resentment. Her grandpa had asked her to pick that guy up earlier. She could not get over what he did to her last time.
'Couldn't this guy be gentler when he kicked me? He didn't even apologize to me after that. He's such a straight man. I wonder how he got a girlfriend.'
Ye Chen was stunned to see her when he arrived. "Why are you here? Where's your brother? "
"He's busy, so he asked me to pick you up. Get in." Gu Yingying was furious. She scoffed and got into the car.
Ye Chen did not mind this young mistress's weird temper. He smiled and sat behind the Maserati.
However, he did not see two ladies standing less than 100 meters away from the Maserati. They were Ye Wen and her mother, Yang Hui.
Yang Hui said with her eyes wide open the moment Ye Chen and Gu Yingying got into the car, "Wenwen, isn't that Ye Chen? Is that luxury car picking him up? Who's that woman? "
"I don't know him either." Ye Wen shook her head blankly. She became upset again as she blamed herself for misunderstanding Ye Chen.
Yang Hui couldn't accept the reality in front of her. She muttered sarcastically, "It's fine that this kid has a mansion, but he even has a luxury car to pick him up. Don't tell me that he's a kept woman?"
As she spoke, she nodded her head self-righteously. "Yes, that must be it. He must have been kept by that woman. Perhaps even that mansion was given to him by that woman. How shameful. He has hands and feet, yet he's willing to be a gigolo …"
Ye Wen, who was standing aside, could not take it anymore. She could not help but interrupt, "Mom, can you stop talking? My cousin isn't that kind of person. Why do beautiful things become so dirty in your eyes? "
No wonder Dad sometimes said that you were narrow-minded and short-sighted.
My cousin owns a mansion, owns a company, can make magic tools, and even has medical skills. Do I need to say all these things to slap your face?
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"What's with your attitude, kid? I'm not talking about you, "Yang Hui grumbled angrily after being stunned for a moment.
…
Over half an hour later, the car arrived at Jiulong Antique City. Ye Chen roughly learned about the situation from the car. It was said that the underground black market would only open at 5 p.m.
Although that was the case, there were all sorts of luxury cars parked in the antique city. Porsches and Bentleys were common goods. The most eye-catching ones were the few Lamborghinis and Bugatti Veyrons.
After Gu Yingying parked the car, she brought Ye Chen to an antique store called the Precious Treasure Pavilion.
The store was huge. There were rows of shelves with many antiques on them such as calligraphy, porcelain, and so on.
At this time, the shop was already crowded with people. Many well-dressed people were pointing at the antiques in the shop and making all kinds of comments.
Meanwhile, there was a young lady in a blue uniform standing next to each of them.
They were the apprentices of the antique store who were called out by the boss to serve the customers.
As soon as Ye Chen walked in, a pretty lady welcomed him. "Welcome, Young Mistress."
"Where's Uncle Xu?"
Gu Yingying nodded calmly and could not stop looking through the crowd.
"Master Xu is taking inventory in the storeroom. Please wait for a moment. I'll get him now. He'll definitely be happy to know that you're here." The pretty lady smiled and turned around to walk to the back.
Gu Yingying seemed to have noticed Ye Chen's doubt, so she explained, "This store belongs to my Third Uncle. Uncle Xu has been working for him for a long time. He's in charge of managing this store. I've been here a couple of times, so they know me."
Ye Chen came to a realization and lifted his eyes to look at the items in the store. He thought he would find something, but he was disappointed wherever he looked.
Gu Yingying noticed that and said while frowning, "Is there nothing that you're interested in?"
"It's all a bunch of vulgar stuff. Boring!"
Ye Chen could not help but shake his head. The antiques in the store might be rare to ordinary people, but they were worthless to him.
"Young man, don't you think you're being too arrogant?" A furious voice came from the back.
Subsequently, an old man in a gray robe and reading glasses walked out. The old man was serious, and he exuded an experienced and smart aura.
The moment he appeared.
All the customers in the restaurant were instantly energized, and they all bowed to greet him.
"Master Xu!"
"…"
The old man merely nodded coldly and walked to Gu Yingying. He forced a gentle smile on his stiff face.
"Young Mistress, why didn't you tell me that you're coming? I could've been mentally prepared."
"Uncle Xu, please don't tease me."
Gu Yingying said while smiling, "I'm just here with a friend."
She glanced at Ye Chen and introduced, "Uncle Xu, this is Mr. Ye. He's … my friend."
Uncle Xu only looked at Ye Chen then. The smile on his face was gone as he said in a neutral tone, "Little brother, you seem to be looking down on the items in my store."
As Third Master Gu's confidant, Uncle Xu was confident that he did not have to respect anyone.
The reason being, be it the people from the legal or underground world, they would have to go through him if they wanted to talk to Third Master Gu.
Meanwhile.
The entire antique store fell into silence at that moment. Everyone looked at Ye Chen by instinct. They seemed to want to know where he got the courage to say that earlier.
Gu Yingying frowned. Just when she was going to stand up for Ye Chen, she heard Uncle Xu's words.
