90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 91: Secret



Peaceful Restaurant, lobby.

All the lights were turned on, and it shone brightly here.

Ye Bei was sitting quietly on one of the wooden chairs and looked at the unmanned auction table with a carefree look. His long black hair and the rows of empty chairs formed a unique Scenery.

Click...

In the direction of the corridor, there were clear footsteps.

The young girl in a white Tang suit held the railing with one hand and gently swayed with the other.

When she saw Ye Bei sitting in the hall, her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was soft, "Sir, they are all here, if it's okay, then I will go first. It's getting late."

"No hurry." Ye Bei replied lightly.

After listening, the girl nodded, then found a seat at random behind the empty chairs in this hall, and waited patiently.

When the girl just sat down.

Seven more figures appeared on the corridor.

Among them, Ralph walked in the forefront. When he saw Ye Bei who was wearing a white robe sitting in the hall, the muscles on his face trembled slightly, but then he showed unprecedented calmness.

Those elders who followed Ralph, their pupils stared when they saw Ye Bei, but in the same way, their eyes quickly became normal again, but when they came down the corridor, their steps were not very steady, their bodies twitched uncontrollably.

Ye Bei just simply sat there, giving them a feeling of being extremely floating, like a fairy.

"Sir." Ralph walked to Ye Bei's side and hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly.

There were countless questions in his mind, and he opened his mouth, it took a long time to spit out this one word.

It was the old people behind him, at this time, their reaction speed was very fast, and they recovered quickly, their eyes gradually changed from fear to heat, and wanted to ask various questions to Ye Bei.

But when they spoke, Ye Bei's indifferent voice came out faintly, "You guys, do you have a secret?"

The sound was not loud.

But among them, it revealed an unspeakable majesty, which made the atmosphere in this hall quiet a lot.

The girl in the Tang Dynasty costume sitting at the back had eyebrows moved slightly as if thinking of something.

The seven old men listened, meditated for a few seconds, and nodded slightly.

"Since it's a secret, let them stay in the dust." Ye Bei murmured softly and slowly stood up from the seat when speaking.

His voice was very calm from beginning to end. 

But the seven elders from all over the world standing in this hall kept oozing cold sweat on their foreheads, and their backs were soaked with sweat.

Each of them felt like they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, a kind of dread that could not be described in words spreading crazily from the bottom of their hearts.

In the hall, it became more silent.

Hu, hu...

The seven old people just breathed in.

"Let's go." But Ye Bei never looked at them again. When he stood up, he said softly, and the girl in the back row also stood up.

That white robe sleeves flicked.

Ye Bei and the young girl directly turned into crystal lights, disappearing out of thin air in the hall in front of the seven people.

"This…" When Ralph saw this, his eyes widened, all bloodshot in his eyes.

"I, I feel like I'm dreaming. He... disappeared?" The archaeologist of China, after reacting, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the expression in his eyes was full of fright.

"Oh, god! We really opened a forbidden zone this time." The American archaeologist tremored.

"I'm going back to my goddamn country now; I don't want to stay in China anymore." The Greek archaeologist yelled with a silly expression.

In the lobby of the restaurant, these archaeologists kept their voices, and when they said these words, their complexions became paler and paler, and there were countless memories in their minds madly passing by.

...

Peaceful Restaurant, outside the door.

Ye Bei and the girl sat in the cart together.

"Sir, miss, are you going back to the Ancient Street?"

When the coachman waited for the two to sit up, he stood up and raised the handle of the cart, his voice was still full of enthusiasm.

"Yeah." Ye Bei was light.

The girl's face was bright red, she just looked at it, but she didn't say anything.

The coachman nodded, "Okay, sir, miss. You sit firmly."

After he declared, he stepped forward and trotted up, a cool breeze came towards him.

There were still a lot of words from the coachman. After a short run, he couldn't help asking, "Sir, you came to this peaceful restaurant just now just to pick up your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, the girl's cheeks became redder, her fists clenched slightly.

"It's not wrong that I came to pick up people, but she is not my girlfriend." Ye Bei stated.

"It seems that I dazzled my eyes." The coachman was not surprised. This answer did not make him feel embarrassed. The voice in his mouth was still, "Then, sir, have you found the person you are looking for?"

When the girl heard this question, she looked at Ye Bei with a little curiosity in her eyes.

"Maybe I found it, or maybe I have to wait." Ye Bei replied in a low voice.

The light from the corner of his eye swept across the girl gently.

This girl was pure and refined, was dressed in a white Tang suit, not touched by red dust, like a reincarnated heavenly being, but... her appearance and eyes were, after all, very different from the old deceased Ye Bei knew.

"Waiting, yeah, we have been waiting since we were born, waiting for someone who can live a lifetime, and wait for a person who will slowly grow old and turn into dust. Some have waited, and some have been missed." The coachman sighed with emotion.

The girl was silent.

Ye Bei was also silent...

It was late, and when the cart pulled out of the street of the Peaceful Restaurant, both sides of the street gradually became lively, and the street was full of tourists.

Facing the crowd, the speed of the coachman slowed down several times.

The sweat on his forehead was also increasing.

"There are not so many people on weekdays. Today is really congested. It seems that after this trip, I have to go home quickly, otherwise, I will be scolded by my wife again…" As the crowd swayed before pulling the cart, the coachman had to stop, his voice was somewhat complaining.

"The place where I live is almost there, only a few hundred meters, so how about just getting off here?" The girl who had been silent along the way proposed.

"All right." Ye Bei nodded.

"Sir, it's okay. There are so many people, it's just a matter of squeezing and time, it's the same if you go down now, so let me just send you there." The driver turned around, with a little shame on his face.

But when his eyes were placed on the cart, he found that the cart seat was empty.

But when he looked towards the crowd behind him, he saw the backs of the two white robes, along with the flowing crowd, were moving away a little bit.

"Oh." Upon seeing this, the coachman sighed softly and shook his head. After that, he did not delay any longer and lifted the handlebar, searching the gap in the crowd, soon, he found the opportunity, and moved flexibly.
