The whole city was in an uproar! Everyone turned around to look, but the person who raised the price didn't show up, and no one saw his true face.
"I'll offer 15 million." Gu Siye immediately raised the price by 4.5 million.
Whether the man deliberately raised the price or felt that the man in front of him was determined to win, no one spoke or raised the price again. In the end, Gu Siye won the bid for the bluish-gray bell and handed it to Li Zhiyi.
Li Zhiyi was surprised that he bought it and gave it to her without hesitation.
At that moment, she felt very moved and secretly made a decision: after returning to China, she would make good use of her abilities to do live fortune telling to earn money and return the money to Young Master Gu.
Holding his master's treasure, Li Zhi felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if his master was still by his side.
After the group left the auction venue, Chen Zhihe took them to the airport without mentioning the cooperation. Gu Siye casually said, "Send your company's information and bank statements to my assistant."
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Chen Zhihe was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, President Gu."
He had initially thought that this President Gu was difficult to communicate with and unapproachable, but since the man's wife had saved his daughter, he was still very grateful. At this moment, he changed his opinion of this legendary cold and ruthless domineering president. He decided to offer more concessions in this cooperation to express his sincerity.
Because he was determined to pack up and return to China to develop his career within three years, he understood the principle that having more friends meant having more options.
Inside the airport, Gu Siye and Fu Yanche walked in front, while Li Zhiyi and Gu Nianzhi followed behind. Chen Zhihe leaned close to Li Zhiyi and said, "Miss Li, Mr. Gu is a good man. I hope I can attend your wedding."
"Oh! You're thinking way too far ahead. It's not even close to happening yet."
"Haha, not long-term, not long-term." Chen Zhihe laughed loudly, glancing at Gu Siye with his eyes. Sure enough, Gu Siye turned around and looked this way. Chen Zhihe found it amusing. He never thought that this domineering CEO could be jealous!
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
On the plane, Li Zhi took out the Time Reversal Bell and shook it to play with it. She felt dizzy after just one shake and was startled. Her master used to treasure this thing the most and always carried it on his waist. He never let her touch it.
Now she realized how powerful this thing was, and she hadn't even recited the incantation yet. Yes, her master had taught her the incantation for the Time Reversal Bell, but her master had said that this thing was a major taboo against defying fate!
Don't use it lightly. She had doubted before whether this time-reversal bell was really as magical as her master said.
As she grew older, she came to understand more and more that what her master had said was true, and that her master would never lie to her.
But she couldn't understand how her master's precious item, which he always carried with him, could appear at an auction.
Could it be that her master led her to Thailand in her dream just to retrieve this treasure? The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, based on her master's understanding of her. He knew that if her master saw the Time-Reversal Bell, he would do everything in his power to get it back.
Now that he has returned to China, he needs to find the Mysterious Immortal. His master gave him a hint, but who exactly is this Mysterious Immortal? His master did not give a clear hint, which means that his master also does not know where this Mysterious Immortal is now.
There was also the female spirit she destroyed, who had a tattoo master who absorbed the yang energy of the living by tattooing people. This tattoo artist eventually ran away, so it's now unknown whether he's in China or Thailand.
The sorcerer she dealt with had also mentioned that his senior brother would seek revenge. Could these two senior brothers be the same person? And what was his name? She forgot to ask.
Gu Nianzhi sat next to Li Zhiyi, secretly laughing to herself, seemingly thinking of something funny. Li Zhiyi felt that Gu Nianzhi had become a bit strange. In the past, she was the most talkative, but now she rarely spoke unless necessary, always immersed in her own world.
"Think about it, think about it?"
Li Zhi called her a few times before Gu Nianzhi turned around and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"I see you're smirking. Tell me what's making you happy."
Gu Nianzhi looked at Li Zhiyi seriously and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know what it feels like to like someone? Have you ever been in a relationship? I don't think so!" How could she forget that her sister-in-law had lived in the mountains for so many years and had never had any contact with anyone? How could she have imagined having a relationship?
"Dating? What do you mean?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Sister-in-law, do you have someone you like?"
Li Zhiyi thought the little girl was trying to test his feelings for her brother. She glanced over there, shook her head, and said, "No, I only like my master."
"Sister-in-law, what you feel for your master isn't liking, it's respect, admiration, and even kinship, not romantic love." Gu Nianzhi felt she needed to give her sister-in-law a political lesson.
"I don't understand what that means, but I think my master is the most amazing, he's incredibly insightful." She felt very proud when she thought of her master.
"Yes, that's right, otherwise you wouldn't be so amazing!" Gu Nianzhi decided to end the conversation because she knew that her sister-in-law couldn't understand what love was yet, and she hoped that her brother could take the initiative.
Then both of them fell silent, and Li Zhi, with a carefree heart, simply fell asleep.
After the plane landed, Li Zhi stretched out a big yawn. He had slept quite comfortably. Back at the Gu family home, the Gu family patriarch hosted a welcome dinner for everyone.
"Good kids, come here quickly! How was your trip to Thailand?"
"It's fine, Grandpa."
After everyone finished their dinner chatting and laughing, Li Zhi took out his phone to charge and turned it on. As soon as he turned it on, he saw a lot of missed calls and text messages. Besides the ones he sent, there were also text messages from Jiang Yu.
Upon seeing one of the text messages, Li Zhiyi immediately perked up and called Jiang Yu back.
"Jiang Yu, is what you said true? Haidilao has a new promotion, is it free food?" She hasn't been eating well at all in Thailand these past few days. Although tonight's meal was delicious, she just took a shower and is hungry again.
"Okay, come downstairs now, I'll come get you."
Li Zhi quickly dressed, her still-damp hair casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a playful and gentle air.
On this side, Gu Siye was just about to talk to her when he heard the sound of her room door opening.
