“I ride my beloved scooter, it never gets stuck in traffic…”
Long Yi rode his battered electric scooter towards the financial city, humming a cheerful song.
He was extremely happy. As long as he could buy the dragon pendant fragments at the auction later, based on his previous experience in fusing dragon pendants, he would definitely get unexpected gains, and maybe even get clues about his mother.
Not far away is the landmark building of Beijing - International Financial City!
A towering building rising from the ground stands before our eyes. It has 150 floors, and the spire at the top pierces the sky.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. The open-air square in front of the financial city was crowded with VIPs, and there were countless luxury cars on the roadside. The high-end BBA cars on weekdays became the most inconspicuous cars here.
Long Yi parked his tattered electric bike on the side of the road, got out and walked towards the square, attracting the attention of the guests who were dressed in gorgeous clothes.
"Who is this kid? Aren't delivery people strictly prohibited from entering such an important occasion today?"
"This electric bike couldn't have been found in a scrapyard. How can it still be ridden?"
Long Yi ignored the criticisms of those who claimed to be upper class people, and was concentrating on figuring out how to buy the dragon pendant fragment at the lowest price.
Two security guards stopped Long Yi outside the open-air square and said in a cold voice, "There is an important event going on in the Financial City today. Please take a detour."
Long Yi frowned slightly, "I'm here to attend the auction."
"Please show your invitation." Although the security guards were polite, anyone could see that they did not think Long Yi was qualified to enter.
Long Yi was just about to call Jiang Tiancheng to settle the admission issue.
At this moment, a beautiful figure came running from a distance, and a crisp and lively voice came to Long Yi's ears:
"Brother Yi, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you tell me?"
A burst of rich fragrance came, and the girl who was talking got into Long Yi's arms and gave him a big bear hug.
Long Yi felt the soft touch of Wen Yumang. Who else could have such a full feel and unique fragrance except that girl Li Yutong?
"Yutong, long time no see, cough...you're strangling me too tight."
A blush appeared on Li Yutong's cheeks, and she calmed down her excitement. She realized that she had just lost her composure in front of everyone.
"Brother Yi, are you here to attend the auction as well?"
Long Yi said calmly: "Yes, there is something at this auction that I must get."
Li Yutong's beautiful eyes moved as she pulled Long Yi into the venue. "Brother Yi, let me help you take pictures of your things later. I also happen to have something I need to take pictures of."
She didn't even show the invitation to the security guard, and walked all the way to the gate of the financial city holding Long Yi's hand without any obstruction.
"Brother Yi, these are all the collections participating in the auction this time. Take a look and see if there is anything you like." Li Yutong handed a thin booklet to Long Yi.
Long Yi flipped through the collection album carelessly. When he turned to the penultimate page, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and a storm surged in his heart!
"Guiyuan Ding! There's actually a Guiyuan Ding among the auction items!"
In the Xuantian Atlas’ record of the ten great treasures of the cultivation era a thousand years ago, the Guiyuan Ding ranked sixth!
This cauldron is said to be the best alchemy furnace in the world. It can easily refine top-grade elixirs. It is also a magical weapon that can be expanded or contracted to any size and can store all evil things in the world.
The more powerful the user's true Qi is, the larger it will become after being transferred into the Guiyuan Ding. This unlimited size change is what makes the Guiyuan Ding so terrifying.
If the Guiyuan Ding at the auction later is authentic, Long Yi plans to buy it together with the dragon pendant fragments.
A young man in a suit and tie, with a slicked-back hair and wearing black-framed glasses, walked out of the financial city gate.
"Yutong, why didn't you tell me when you came? I could have picked you up at the door."
The young man smiled gently when he saw Li Yutong. His face, not handsome at all, was pleasing to the eye.
But when he saw Li Yutong holding Long Yi's arm, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly returned to his warm smile.
Although the cold light in the young man's eyes flashed for a moment, Long Yi still accurately captured his hostility.
He immediately realized that this young man was no ordinary person. He never showed his emotions on his face and was much more sophisticated than his peers. At least the dandies he had met before all had their emotions clearly written on their faces.
Li Yutong frowned slightly when she saw the young man, and moved closer to Long Yi without making a sound.
"Xu Jiahao, this is my boyfriend, Long Yi. We came here together, so it would be inconvenient for you to come and greet us."
Xu Jiahao didn't say anything for a long time. When he heard Li Yutong formally introduce Long Yi as her boyfriend, his jealousy and anger became even stronger.
"Mr. Long, welcome to the Financial City. My Xu family is the largest shareholder here. As the host, we should naturally treat you well."
He said this with a forced smile and extended his right hand. Long Yi shook it generously, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Jiahao secretly increased the strength of his hands. He had reached the mysterious realm a year ago and could even flatten a steel pipe with a little force.
He glanced at Long Yi's expression. Unlike what he had imagined, the other party looked calm and composed.
Long Yi laughed in silence. The strength of this kid's hands was not enough to scratch him, and he even wanted to hurt him.
"Mr. Xu is really hospitable. He has been holding my hand for such a long time and is reluctant to let go." After saying this, Long Yi instantly increased the strength of his hands.
There were creepy sounds in the air, which were the sounds of the flesh and bones rubbing violently on Xu Jiahao's hands.
"Ah!" Xu Jiahao groaned and pulled back his right hand as if he had been electrocuted.
He still had a smiling face and said, "Mr. Long has come from afar, so I must give him a warm welcome!"
Although Xu Jiahao pretended nothing happened, he had already sentenced Long Yi to death in his heart!
This ignorant poor boy not only laid hands on Li Yutong, but also brought bad luck upon himself one after another. Tomorrow morning, there will be another headless male corpse in the upper reaches of the Beijing Grand Canal.
Feeling the murderous intent that flashed in the depths of Xu Jiahao's eyes, Long Yi had a hint of sarcasm on his lips, but he just hugged Li Yutong in his arms very naturally.
Li Yutong leaned her head on Long Yi's chest obediently, looking well behaved.
When Xu Jiahao saw the scene in front of him, he instantly became jealous and wished he could go up and punch Long Yi to death and take his place.
Not only did she snatch Li Yutong away from him, but she also showed her affection in front of him!
"Xu Jiahao, if there's nothing else, my boyfriend and I will go in first. You can take your time to welcome the guests." Li Yutong said coldly.
"You are the only one I, the eldest son of the Xu family, can personally greet." Xu Jiahao looked at Long Yi and said, "The auction doesn't start until eight o'clock. The underground first floor is our Xu family's casino. Why don't we go in and have some fun?"
