90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 80: Video



Private Room No. 1, at the door.

Seeing the back of the white robe inside, Ralph's legs unexpectedly shook slightly.

His complexion was bright at first, but soon it turned pale.

Although some of the questions in his heart were answered, soon, Ralph only felt like he had fallen into a more terrifying abyss, a kind of greater fear started spreading in his heart.

So when the door of this private room opened, he could only stand at the door, his body was stunned and he did not dare to step in.

"Mr. Ralph…" The girl stood aside, very confused when she saw this.

Ralph did not answer, standing at the entrance, his expression unchanged.

"Come in." Quite a while later, Ye Bei's voice came, uncaring, contained the tone similar to a youth's, but very profound.

"Yes." Ralph nodded. At this moment, all the madness and heat in his heart had disappeared, replaced by fear with a mixture of peace.

Ye Bei just sat indifferently...

It gave Ralph a kind of illusion of a thousand years of finger-pointing, disregarding the vicissitudes of the world, and even let Ralph forget all the desires in his heart at this moment.

Lifting his foot, stepping in, his body was slightly ungainly, and his expression was all respectful!

Squeak!

After entering the private room, he gently closed the door.

At the door, the girl's heart was already stormy at this moment. She knew exactly who Ralph was, he was the initiator of this auction. The invitation letters of the dignitaries were all prepared by him himself.

As a result, he stood at the door just now and dare not enter? Or should he wait for the white robe man inside to allow him to enter?

Who was that guy in the white robe?

Thinking of this, the girl's cheeks turned bright red again, and at the same time, thinking of her previous recklessness in the private room, she had a lingering fear.

...

In the lobby of the Peaceful Restaurant, the auction was still going on. After the price of the purple stone was increased to 50 million, no one dared to bid it again. Because Ye Bei hung up the lantern, the purple stone would be eventually obtained by Ye Bei.

"Everyone, now we are starting to auction the second item. This is an authentic relic of Tang Bohu in the Tang Dynasty. It was obtained by our archaeological team accidentally abroad... After many rigorous analysis, it was judged to be the original! This is a portrait of an old man in a white robe." (A/N: He was a painter and poet, one of the Four Great Southern Talents of the Ming.)

In the hall, after the first auction item was over, soon the host got the second item.

Many people thought that the lantern in Private Room No. 1 would be withdrawn.

But when the second auction item started, the lantern was still hung high, without any intention to withdraw it.

Suddenly, there was another tumult at the auction scene.

"What's going on in Private Room No. 1? Are they going to hang the lantern to the end, and the people inside want to collect all the items?" Someone exclaimed, eyeballs staring, and they thought to themselves that those who dared to do this were probably crazy.

"Who the hell is so rich? The pearl just now costs a 100 million if bought with the lantern." Someone sighed with hot eyes, but they wished that the person sitting in the first private room was himself.

"Wu Family is in the second private room did not show any action, is this a sign of admitting defeat?" Some people were puzzled. They felt that Wu's peaceful behavior was completely incomprehensible and impossible to guess.

In the first room, Ye Bei sat on a chair. He didn't care about the noisy situation at this auction site.

From the moment he came here for the auction, the so-called bidding had become a joke. It was a mystery of the regarding his old friends, so all the antiquities in it had been predetermined by him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the original Tang Bohu and the old man in the white shirt, his pupils became deeper.

Today, not only the nameless pearl appeared, but also the authentic work Tang Bohu, these things were inextricably linked to him during the years of Ye Bei's longevity… then what is the purpose of the old deceased in bringing himself here?

"In the Peach Blossom Land, there is a peach blossom plot." Ye Bei retracted his thoughts, his eyes were faint, and he murmured softly in his mouth. After that, he said softly, "What's the matter?"

The not-so-loud sound reverberated continuously throughout the private room.

After Ralph walked into the private room, he stood respectfully behind Ye Bei.

Seeing the red lantern at the window, listening to the noisy sound outside, and looking at Ye Bei's motionless, indifferent back, his body was stiff and extremely silent.

However, after hearing Ye Bei's voice, Ralph's body quavered as if he had returned from the state of looking at the pale red dust and seeing through everything in an instant. His eyes became sharp again, and his voice was full of enthusiasm, "Sir... I am Ralph, the main person in charge of this auction, and a famous archaeologist in Egypt. I came here this time with a few questions and I want to take the liberty to ask."

"Yeah." Ye Bei allowed.

"Sir... Just yesterday, there was a Chinese elder named Wang Xiu who came here with one character and one painting and let us appraise it. May I ask if the calligraphy and painting are your masterpieces?" Ralph said in a somewhat rapid voice.

Ye Bei looked unfathomable and did not answer.

After a few seconds of silence, Ralph's voice continued, his eyes burning, "Sir, have you ever been to the pyramids? Have you been to the god's temple? Have you visited the Colossus of Rhodes? There is a person called 'Holy North' there."

Ye Bei said nothing, the clouds were light and breezy.

"Sir... Then, how can I live forever?" Ralph's enthusiasm was not diminished. By the time he said this, his whole body was already approaching madness, and his neat clothes were also full of wrinkles at the moment.

His neatly combed hair was also unkempt.

Tap!

Ye Bei didn't seem to hear Ralph's questions at all. Putting his left index finger on the wooden table, he tapped it lightly and made a crisp sound. Then he said lightly, "Invite the old man here You can go back."

The voice was wintry, and the moment the voice cascaded, the enthusiasm on Ralph's face quickly dissipated, and at the same time, his hot pupils gradually became confused.

In his mind, memory after memory slowly began to blur.

"Yes!" Via his mouth, he replied Ye Bei instinctively.

He then reached out to tidy his white robe, smoothed his hair again, turned around silently, and walked out of the private room.

"Mr. Ralph, are you out?" At the door of the private room, the girl greeted Ralph enthusiastically.

"Yeah." Ralph nodded, keeping his calm pace.

"Strange!" The girl looked at Ralph's somewhat dull steps, and gently said out these two words, and continued to guard at the door.

...

When Ralph walked over, an old man quietly stood up.

"Mr. Ralph, is that person..." The old man's eyes were expectant. When he spoke, regardless of whether Ralph agreed or not, he moved quickly to take out the miniature camera that Ralph had hidden in his clothes.

Five minutes later, after watching the video, the old man was stunned around the corner, unable to speak for a long time, his pupils were full of anger.
