Chapter 36: Amber Tears

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was kicked out seemed unwilling to leave.

He turned around suddenly and shouted into the store:

"I'm telling you! I'm Xuanta Kevis of the Kevis family!

Aren't you afraid of offending my Kevis family by treating guests like this at Qizhen Pavilion?!"

His voice echoed through the marketplace, carrying a naked threat.

The Kevis family seems to be quite famous in this galaxy.

As soon as the name came out, the discussions around suddenly became much quieter.

However, the guards of Qizhen Pavilion remained unmoved.

Another guard snorted coldly, his tone unyielding:

"So what about the Kevis family? We only respect rules, not power.

If Mr. Xuanta disrupts the business order again, we will forcibly evict him without mercy!

As he said that, he pushed the middle-aged man out again.

Xuanta Kevis was so angry that his face turned pale and his fists clenched.

But he didn't dare to make a big fuss here, so he could only glare angrily at the tightly closed vermilion door, and walked away unwillingly with a wave of his sleeves.

After he walked a few minutes away, the onlooker slowly spoke up and answered several people's questions.

"The Kevis family has been in the pharmaceutical industry for generations. Look, they sent people to seek the Star Amber Tears, but were turned away...

I wonder if I will ever have the chance to see the Star Amber Tears again."

Gu Changfeng looked at Xuanta Kevis's receding back, lost in thought.

A family member with such a status in the field of modern medicine gave up the family's internal resources and came out so urgently to seek an item that was rumored to be able to "nourish life".

He habitually connected the clues and already had some guesses in his mind.

He turned to look at Gu Jinyan, who was also looking at Qizhen Pavilion.

"Dad, this 'Star Amber Tears'..."

Gu Jinyan spoke with a tone of inquiry, but then swallowed the second half of the sentence, as if he was weighing something.

Gu Changfeng snapped his fingers:

"Good boy, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, and don't be polite with your father.

Well, I know you'd like to go in and see the treasure.

Let’s go.”

The last sentence took a sharp turn. Since Gu Changfeng had already made the decision, what else could Gu Jinyan say?

What's more, this man had already picked up An Zhi and mixed in with the crowd of tourists who had rushed in to see the Rare Treasure Pavilion because of the small conflict.

**

The moment you step into the Rare Treasure Pavilion, the hustle and bustle of the outside market seems to be blocked by an invisible barrier.

The lighting inside is not as bright as that of ordinary stores, but rather dim, as if it is deliberately creating an atmosphere.

People are unconsciously attracted by the rare treasures on display.

Various nameless bones of strange animals and metal utensils with an ancient atmosphere lie quietly on glass display stands or carved wooden shelves.

An Zhi widened his eyes with curiosity and moved his small body to the nearest display case.

It was a crystal stone that emitted a faint glow.

"Uncle, will this light up?"

She raised her little face and asked Gu Changfeng beside her in a baby voice.

A uniformed commentator immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face:

"Little friend, this is deep-sea fluorescent stone.

It doesn't emit light on its own, but only after absorbing the special energy from the seabed does it emit a faint glow."

The tour guide explained patiently and carefully, and did not show any perfunctoriness just because An Zhi was a cub.

There were quite a lot of people in the Qizhen Pavilion, so she handed each of the three people a pair of exclusive explanation headphones so that they could hear more clearly.

An Zhi put on headphones, and the surrounding sounds disappeared, leaving only the gentle voice of the commentator.

She was a little nervous and glanced at Gu Changfeng and Gu Jinyan. Seeing that they were also wearing headphones, Gu Changfeng even smiled at her.

An Zhi felt a little embarrassed, but felt a lot more at ease.

She turned back and pointed curiously at another vessel engraved with runes:

"What about this one? Why does it have so many twists and turns?"

The commentator still had a smile on his face as he answered An Zhi's innocent questions one by one.

Gu Changfeng looked at An Zhi's curiosity about these strange objects and tapped her headphones to attract her attention: "Do you like them? I'll buy them all for you."

An Zhi blinked, shook his head and said, "I've never seen this before. An Zhi thinks these are amazing!"

The cub paused, raised the doll in his hand and emphasized: "I just have the blue one that Brother Jinyan bought me!"

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng knew that An Zhi was simply curious about new things.

He turned his gaze and looked at the commentator:

"I'd like to ask about 'Star Amber Tears'. I heard it can nourish life.

I'd like to ask the owner to recommend one to us to see if anyone among us has a connection with it."

At this moment, a voice with obvious disdain came from the side:

"Tsk, the Lord only receives guests with spiritual level A or above.

Judging from your outfit, you must have just come from some remote planet?

You're like a country bumpkin, making a fuss just by visiting a market. Do you really think the things in Qizhen Pavilion are a big sale at the wet market and you can buy anything you like?"

The speaker was a young man in gorgeous clothes, his eyes full of arrogance and contempt.

There were a few people following him, and they seemed to be from some powerful force, so much so that he had to bring people with him even when visiting the "vegetable market".

**

The young man glanced at the clothes of the three members of the Gu family. They were all ordinary styles, with neither gold weaving nor hidden embroidery. It was obvious that they were not aristocratic.

He felt noble and it was embarrassing for him to buy things from the same store as such an ordinary person.

He just happened to hear Gu Changfeng say "I'll buy you whatever you like", and he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

These common people always think that Qizhen Pavilion is their own business and anyone can interfere.

The young man continued to make up the blow in a sarcastic tone:

"You guys are like this, and you still want the Lord to personally receive you and see what 'Star Amber Tears' are?

You are dreaming! Do you think you can touch that treasure?"

The atmosphere in the Qizhen Pavilion suddenly became stagnant due to the appearance of this uninvited guest.

The smile on the commentator's face faded, and she stood aside slightly embarrassedly.

A hint of coldness appeared between Gu Jinyan's brows, and he glanced at the young man and the people behind him calmly.

Gu Changfeng remained calm. He ignored the young man's provocation, asked the commentator for a small microphone, and said to An Zhi gently:

"Which shiny stone did you say was beautiful?"

The perception of cubs is far less acute than that of adults, and they cannot hear clearly what is happening around them after wearing headphones.

She was short and could only see the different booths spread out in front of her.

An Zhi nodded blankly, and pointed his little hand holding the octopus doll at the deep-sea fluorescent stone that emitted a faint blue glow.

"Wrap this piece."

Gu Changfeng spoke directly to the commentator sister, with an understated tone, as if he had just bought a cabbage at the vegetable market.

Seeing this, the young man sneered, walked forward, and glanced arrogantly at the deep-sea fluorescent stone:

"It's just a broken stone, how dare you show it off?
