Chapter 78: Pearl
Peaceful Restaurant, third floor, Private Room No. 1.
When the girl hung the lantern on the window, she noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had changed for the first time.
But she quickly stepped back, her cheeks flushed.
"Sir, it's already hung up. Every private room here will have a separate waiter. If you need anything else, just ask me at any time." The girl squeezed her hands together, and when she said this, she retreated to the left of Ye Bei.
Ye Bei didn't seem to hear, nor he intended to answer.
His eyes were on the Ancient Street.
At this moment, although this Peaceful Restaurant was lively, the Ancient Street was not affected in any way. Sitting in the position of Ye Bei, one could even clearly see some tourists on the Ancient Street in the early morning, facing the sun, cheering, and laughing slowly.
Because there were too many catkin trees planted in the ancient town, once in a while, those catkins would fly everywhere again.
Some tourists waved the catkins in disgust and wanted to slap the catkins away, but those catkins seemed to have enmity with those people from their past life as they gathered more and more.
Some tourists liked catkins and even reached out their hands to catch them, but the catkins that could fall on their bodies reduced a lot.
The more they strived to get rid of, the more they were bound.
The harder they strived for, the harder it was to get...
When looking at these sceneries, Ye Bei felt a little bit sensation in his heart. A worldly person was always a worldly person. It was really difficult to understand his state of mind.
"Sir." On the left, the girl saw Ye Bei looking out of the window in a daze and did not answer for a while, and then whispered again.
Hearing this voice, Ye Bei retracted his thoughts and said lightly, "You go out first and stay in front of the door. When someone comes, you tell him that the answer he is looking for does not exist. Some people are still untouchable for him, if he insists on coming in, let him in."
"Yes." The girl nodded and answered softly.
There were a lot of doubts in her eyes, but she walked out of the private room obediently.
Squeak...
She opened them and closed them carefully.
The girl stood in front of the door, the redness of her cheeks gradually began to fade.
In the private room, Ye Bei retracted his gaze from the Ancient Street and placed it on the auction scene.
The previous storm had quietly ended.
The lanterns hung in the private rooms attracted countless curiosity. But those powerful people, after failing to figure out Ye Bei's identity and subconsciously thinking that there was a contradiction with the Wu Family, all chose to be silent and did not come to disturb him.
The hall began to become quiet.
Those who came to bid, each found a place to sit down.
It's just that today's atmosphere had become very strange. Those who sat down always turned their eyes to the Private Room No. 1 intentionally or unintentionally.
...
Next door to Ye Bei, there were only two people in the second room.
A middle-aged man and a young man.
"Dad, if I'm correct, that person is in the private room next to us. When I just came in, I saw a lantern hanging on the window of that private room. Only an existence like him that dare to do this." The young man's voice sounded weird and his face was like paper.
"I know." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, he wanted to say something, but when he thought of the scene he saw in Q City before, he would feel anomalous fear and couldn't say anything.
"How about we go there now?" The young man suggested, with a bit of madness in his eyes.
"Are you looking for death? You were outside just now and almost had an accident... Although that person is worthy of friendship, don't forget that he is a murderous master, and the relationship between him and the Old Immortal is not clear at all." The man's voice was quite clear but his eyes and mind were not clear at all.
"The Zhao Family is over. Everyone is dead, who can be the opponent of the Old Immortal? " The young man persuaded.
"We need to wait first, wait for a suitable opportunity..." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and continued.
These two people were naturally Young Master Wu and his father. After the lessons of Q City, the IQs of these two people had obviously improved a lot, and their attitudes towards the problem and Ye Bei had also changed greatly.
And when they said these things, the auction has officially started.
Bang, bang…
The first scene was that the lights of the whole Peaceful Restaurant were all turned off.
Snapped.
Immediately afterward, a laser light hung directly above the lobby of the Peaceful Restaurant, the light emitted by it happened to fall on the auction stage.
That light was not strong.
However, when it shone on the auction stand, the atmosphere here was completely revealed in an instant.
On the red rug, there was a table in the middle.
There was a woman with an enchanting figure standing at the table. When the light was on, the woman was holding a tray with her hands covered with a black cloth. Needless to say, the first auction item was placed in it.
When this woman appeared, she was unambiguous and went directly to the subject.
The voice was clear and penetrating, "Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of this international antique auction. This auction is jointly organized by seven internationally renowned archaeologists. And behind it is an ancient consortium in Egypt. There will be a lot of magical antiquities here today, I hope you will like it."
After her opening speech finished, the scene was still very quiet.
No one applauded or cheered on this occasion, and everyone was even more curious about what the antiquities in this woman's hands were.
At the same time, they were also curious regarding the people in the Private Room No. 1, they hung up the lantern so early, was it because they knew what the first auction item was?
The woman also saw what everyone really cared about. So she was not too verbose, and continued, "This antique was purchased by our team from an expedition abroad. I can't find the answer to what it is. However, I believe that after seeing its appearance, everyone will be amazed by its magic..."
The woman pretended to be mysterious.
The moment her echoes faded, the laser light hanging above the auction table snapped off.
The scene fell into darkness again.
But the woman gently untied the black cloth in her hand.
Hiss…
Suddenly, a peculiar purple light was released from the tray in her hand.
The light was soft, showing a faint purple, it didn't look very bright, but quietly, it even illuminated the entire hall transparently, making the entire hall look like it had entered a fairyland.
Rustle...
At the next moment, all the bidders who were originally calm were in an uproar.
"This is Night-Luminescent Pearl?" Someone exclaimed.
"No, Night-Luminescent Pearl has a white light, but this light is purple." Someone quickly retorted.
"Then what is this? A brand new kind of treasure that can emit light?"
"Whatever it is, this thing is definitely priceless."
In the hall, the voices of those people kept exclaiming.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of magical thing should be placed last, but they didn't expect this auction to go the other way... It was really unexpected that such a shocking thing came at the beginning.
But…
Just when everyone exclaimed constantly.
In the first room, Ye Bei looked through the window, his eyes faintly falling on the pearl, but there was no slight fluctuation.
Because he happened to know that pearl, and he had also seen it.
