Chapter 38 This is not the attitude you should have towards Xuanmen treasures
Jiang Xuxu remembered that when she left Guan's house, Guan Ruirui also boasted that she liked Pei Yuanyun.
And now, Pei Yuanyun himself also said that she liked him.
So, who is making up rumors about her?
Pei Yuanyun was stunned when she heard Jiang Xuxu's words. The next second, she seemed to be looking at her girlfriend who was sulking with her. She just smiled slightly,
"Everyone knows it. No one needs to tell me. I can see it."
Pei Yuanyun looked at her and smiled confidently,
"During that time, you were always by my side. You followed me wherever I went, bought me breakfast, and came to watch me compete... Although you didn't say it clearly, I know it all."
Jiang Xuxu's mouth twitched fiercely when he heard this.
"There is only one reason I didn't say it clearly, and that is that I don't like you. As for why I follow you, believe me, you don't want to know the reason."
Jiang Xuxu denied it too bluntly. Pei Yuanyun was obviously stunned for a moment, but still insisted that his judgment was correct.
"Why do you deny your feelings for me? Is it because of Ruirui? Or is it that your current family does not allow you to be with me?"
Jiang Xuxu was really speechless at this moment.
Some people are so narcissistic that they can't hear other people's voices. She has seen it today.
Too lazy to continue arguing with him about this issue, Jiang Xuxu got in the car.
Pei Yuanyun gritted his teeth secretly, and when he was thinking about how to keep her, he saw the window of the back seat of the car suddenly rolled down.
Pei Yuanyun's expression changed, and he smiled confidently and gently towards the car.
But Jiang Xuxu glanced at his face coldly and asked,
"You've been thinking about that excuse for two days, right?"
He was forced to agree to be with Guan Ruirui because of her. Did he think he was writing an old-fashioned love story?
Pei Yuanyun's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment. He wanted to explain, but he saw Jiang Xuxu slowly raised the window and told the driver to drive.
Pei Yuanyun looked at the car that drove away, and a hint of shame and anger flashed in his eyes.
To him, that was not an excuse!
It was clearly a step he gave her!
He thought he had kindly handed over the step, and she should have taken it immediately given her obsession with him.
With her current status, he would agree to her even if she asked him to break up with Guan Ruirui immediately.
But...
she is so ignorant.
It's really different when you get into the Jiang family.
...
In the car, Jiang Xuxu forgot about Pei Yuanyun the moment she closed the car window. She heard a familiar phone notification tone, clicked it and took a look. Her eyes moved slightly.
"Uncle Hai, let's not go back to the Jiang family first. Take me somewhere."
The driver in the front seat responded and drove directly to a development park in the suburbs according to the address given by Jiang Xuxu.
Although it is a development zone, the surroundings look a little deserted because of the unsuccessful investment promotion.
Uncle Hai looked at the surrounding environment and felt a little worried.
"Miss, what are you doing in a place like this? How about I go in with you?"
As a driver specially arranged by Jiang Huai, Uncle Hai also has the task of protecting the safety of the eldest lady.
"It's okay, just wait outside." Jiang Xuxu paused and said, "I probably won't be out soon, you can find a place to rest first, or go back directly."
Uncle Hai heard this and said seriously, "I'll wait for you outside."
Seeing this, Jiang Xuxu didn't force himself and walked into the development zone.
Passing by two deserted buildings, Jiang Xuxu walked directly into an inconspicuous red brick building in the middle of the park.
Enter the building and walk down, through a long corridor, and open the door to a different world.
In the basement, the huge space is a luxuriously decorated underground auction house. The auction house is not large, and the number of people in the venue does not exceed 300.
A waiter stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Miss, please show me your invitation."
Jiang Xuxu was about to speak when she heard a pleasant male voice from another exit, "She is my guest."
The waiter saw the newcomer and became more respectful, "President."
The man called the president had a feminine appearance, and at first glance gave people a kind of androgynous beauty. His beautiful fox eyes seemed to be frivolous at any time.
He was wearing an exquisite dark purple Tang suit, and his slightly long hair was casually tied behind his head. The whole person exuded a mysterious oriental charm. Looking at Jiang Xuxu, he just hooked his hand at her.
The action was ambiguous.
Jiang Xuxu had long been accustomed to his personality, and followed him to a room behind the auction house.
The room was decorated in a very antique style, which was obviously in line with his temperament.
A screen divides the room into two halves. One half is the reception area, and the other half seems to be an item display area, where various items that are about to be auctioned are displayed. It is different from the usual auction houses that sell antiques and artworks.
Yi Lu sells all kinds of things here. As long as you want something
and he has it, he can trade it. If you want something that he doesn't have, he can also find a way to trade it.
"Where is the thing you are talking about?"
Jiang Xuxu asked impatiently as soon as she entered the room.
Seeing her "anxious" look, Yi Lu just winked and then turned around to search in the item area, muttering as he searched.
"This...is not it."
"This, is not it either."
"Ah, so the human bone is here..."
"This box...oh, I found it."
Yi Lan came out with a long box in his hand, looking at her with a pair of foxy eyes full of cunning, "I'm not sure if this is what you want, take a look first."
He said as he opened the box.
There was a dead branch in the box.
The charred peach branch, also known as thunder-struck peach wood, is a magical item to ward off evil spirits in the Xuanmen circle.
Good lightning-struck peach wood is hard to find, let alone the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood that Jiang Xuxu is looking for.
Such a magical instrument with the power of a thousand-year-old lightning would be regarded as a heirloom in any Xuanmen family, and it is rare that Yi Xun could actually find it.
Just looking at the little bit of lightning and fire aura emanating from the peach wood, you can tell that this thing is extraordinary.
What a pity.
"This is not the branch I'm looking for."
Yi Xu's confident expression cracked a little, and he stared at her,
"Do you know how hard it is to find a thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood? It's good to have it."
He pushed the thing closer to her, "Why don't you take a closer look, after all, the branches look almost the same."
Jiang Xuxu pushed the thing back to him without even looking at it, with a serious expression,
"I'm sure that mine is different. And I said at the beginning that I'm not looking for this thing to find a magic weapon."
Instead, it's to find the person who has the magic weapon.
Her master.
He promised to accompany her until she was eighteen, but she suddenly disappeared.
No matter how she calculated, she could not catch any trace of her breath.
It was as if she had never appeared in this world.
Now, Jiang Xuxu had no other way to find the master except to look for clues from the magic tools she had carried with her in the past.
Yi Lu saw her firm attitude and immediately tutted his tongue. He threw the lightning wood that he had just treasured back away, "Tut, it was wasted again."
Jiang Xuxu felt a little distressed when she heard the bang of the box falling on the table.
Although it was not the one she was looking for, it was also a genuine thousand-year-old lightning wood! !
This is not the attitude you should have towards a Xuanmen treasure!
Apologize to it quickly.
