After getting out of the car, Luo You walked briskly to Wei Tianci.
She was wearing tight black pants and a fitted burgundy knit top today.
Her petite figure was encased in delicate clothing, especially her tiny waist, which could be encircled with one hand; she was a sexy little beauty.
After Luo You arrived in front of Wei Tianci, she quickly said, "Brother Tianci, I had a phone call with my uncle earlier."
“I told him about your trip to the auction.”
He said he happened to have a strange stone and was going to deliver it to the auction organizer tonight to see if it could be auctioned.
"Because I didn't know if this stone would be useful to you, I had him pause and came specifically to ask for your opinion."
Wei Tianci was taken aback: "A strange stone? Your uncle?"
[Didn't Luo You say her relatives were struggling financially? How come she's even involved in the auction?]
Upon hearing this, Luo You quickly explained.
"It's like this, Brother Tianci, there's a village bully named Liao Changbo in our Gaoshan Village."
“He has always been a bully in the village, and over the years he has forced the villagers to buy and sell a lot of good things.”
“Every year he would take inventory and forcibly give away the useless items to the villagers.”
“My uncle built a house for him before, but he didn’t receive any wages after it was finished.”
"Because Liao Changbo gave my uncle a stone as payment, saying it was a precious stone."
"My uncle knew that the other party was trying to renege on the debt, but he had no choice but to take the stone back."
"But he recently discovered that this stone is actually quite strange."
Wei Tianci asked curiously, "How so?"
Luo You explained, "Once, when my uncle was working at the sand quarry, he curiously threw that strange stone into the stone crusher."
"Unexpectedly, the strange rock caused the machine to stall, and the stone crusher couldn't do anything about it."
"My uncle then discovered that the strange rock was unusually hard."
"Then he tried various methods, such as burning it with fire and splashing it with sulfuric acid, but without exception, the strange stone remained completely unharmed."
"When he heard me mention that you were going to the auction, he thought you were very knowledgeable, so he gave me a brief introduction to the stones."
I'd like to hear your opinion.
Wei Tianci's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. A strange stone? Could it be such a coincidence?
I just happened to need a suitable stabilizing stone, and now I've encountered a strange stone?
Isn't this like someone offering you a pillow when you're just trying to sleep?
Because the primary requirement for a defensive stone is that it be hard enough!
However, Wei Tianci still cautiously asked, "Does your mountain village have many treasures?"
How can even a random stone exude an eerie aura?
Upon hearing this, Luo You slowly said, "Brother Tianci, our Gaoshan Village is located on Bagua Mountain."
“There are really some unusual things about our place.”
“In previous years, valuable treasures would be dug up from time to time in the mountains, and many families became rich overnight because of it.”
"Furthermore, throughout history, no geological disasters have occurred on Bagua Mountain, and it has always been a place of favorable weather."
"And there are many centenarians on Bagua Mountain."
"My parents were perfectly fine back in the mountains. They only fell ill because their health gradually deteriorated after they went out to make a living."
"Moreover, there is a legend in our village that Bagua Mountain was a place where immortals lived in ancient times."
Wei Tianci listened with a thoughtful expression.
In the original storyline, his heart was entirely devoted to An Muyue.
Luo You's identity was merely a pawn he used, placed undercover within the Ankang Group.
Therefore, he never cared about Luo You's life and naturally knew nothing about the situation in her hometown.
Therefore, Wei Tianci was completely clueless and had no idea what the Bagua Mountain was all about.
However, he still suggested, "Have your uncle keep the stone safe and don't give it to the auction officials yet."
Luo You nodded quickly and immediately took out her phone to make a call.
After the call connected, she immediately said that she had bought the stone in her uncle's possession and that it should not be sold to others.
She also hoped that the stone would be useful to her brother, Tianci.
Wei Tianci watched Luo You's phone call with a smile, his face showing appreciation.
However, after Luo You finished her call, Wei Tianci asked curiously, "Bagua Mountain Gaoshan Village, that's your mother's hometown, right?"
"Aren't you close to your father's relatives?"
Luo You explained, "My father was an orphan and was all alone before he married my mother, so he lived in Gaoshan Village after they got married."
Wei Tianci nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then arranged, "Alright, park your Lamborghini here and drive off in my G-Wagon."
"The roads in the countryside are in bad condition, so a sports car isn't suitable. We'll drive our G-Class home tomorrow."
Luo You smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Tianci."
Luo You then walked towards the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
She then discovered two cases of Moutai liquor inside the car.
Luo You prepared to move them down.
Wei Tianci chuckled, "Why are you being so formal with me? Consider this wine a gift for your two uncles, one case for each of them."
Luo You's expression tightened as she said, "Brother Tianci, my uncle and his family are heavy drinkers. If I send them this good wine, they'll be overjoyed."
"If they get too excited and start drinking with you nonstop, that won't do."
She just wanted Tianci's brother to pretend to be her boyfriend.
However, I don't want to put my brother Tianci in a difficult position, or even have him forced to drink alcohol, which could affect his health.
Wei Tianci chuckled and said, "I'm accompanying you back this time, so how can I not have a drink?"
"Given our current relationship, it's perfectly normal for me to have a few drinks with your family even if I don't pretend to be your boyfriend."
Luo You felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this: "Alright then, thank you, Brother Tianci."
Wei Tianci then suddenly realized and said, "That's right, smoking and drinking go hand in hand."
He then opened the trunk of the Bentley coupe next to him and took out two cases of expensive cigarettes and put them into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
"All set, two cases of cigarettes and two cases of liquor."
Wei Tianci waved his hand: "Go ahead and get busy, see you tomorrow."
Luo You then reluctantly got into the G-Wagon.
She whispered to Wei Tianci outside the window, "Brother Tianci, I'll drive to pick you up tomorrow morning."
After Wei Tianci waved goodbye, Luo You drove away.
The pretty girl driving the G-Wagon looks both cool and beautiful!
The next morning at six o'clock.
After tossing and turning all night without being able to sleep, Wei Tianci simply got up and sat in the courtyard of the villa, lost in thought.
The unease that followed Kawashima Mie's departure gradually intensified in his heart.
I didn't realize it when we parted ways that afternoon.
It was late at night when everyone was asleep.
When he was all alone in the huge villa.
He inexplicably began to miss the female swordswoman who called him "young master" all the time.
Especially after lying in bed, scenes of his time with Mei Hui flooded into Wei Tianci's mind.
Wei Tianci tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When dawn broke, he simply got up and sat on a chair in the yard, lost in thought.
Suddenly, the villa's large wooden door creaked open without any wind.
Leng Ruolian, dressed in a red dress and with white hair, strolled in leisurely.
She appeared as if she were strolling in her own garden, her expression indifferent.
