Chapter 287: Lead the Way
Inside the antique shop, James and his two companions stood in the middle of this hall in a daze.
To be frank, just now, what happened here was absolutely unprecedented for the three of them.
When they saw the people around all swarmed out, they were stunned for three or four seconds.
The female foreigner opened her mouth, her voice was no longer that sharp, and she was only dumbfounded.
"I once heard many people say that China is a truly ancient civilized country. There are countless miracles in this country. At that time, I didn't want to believe it at all. After all, there is a saying in this world that China is a lion that has fallen asleep, and there will never be a possibility of waking up, James, but now, I am faintly beginning to discover that this country is definitely not as simple as the rumors." The female foreigner's voice was very small; her expression was more serious than ever.
James did not answer.
Next to him, the corners of another foreigner's mouth moved and his brows were twisted together.
After several seconds passed, he turned his gaze on the female foreigner, and still said with a bit of disdain in his voice, "Witt, I don't agree with your judgment. The ancient Chinese nation is good, and it also has cultural heritages, but it is absolutely not magical in imagination. Regarding magical things, we have more in the United States. Among them, Area 51 is the real forbidden area and the birthplace of miracles! Even the magical piece of amber that we saw today was really exposed because of our American identity!"
When talking about this, the man's face was full of pride.
Seeing the female foreigner named Witt was silent, he then said, "What happened here just now is just a coincidence! And... we bought the amber first, but these Chinese people, relying on a large number of people, forcibly robbed our property. This incident is absolutely intolerable; we have to make them pay. In addition, I think that the information about this matter should be reported to the above immediately. I think they will definitely be very interested in this amber."
"Really?" Witt was not completely sure about this matter.
"It must be so!" James, who had just recovered, suddenly spoke in a cold voice with determination.
"James?" Witt looked at him.
James didn't even think about it before he said, "That thing belongs to us, and you have also seen its value. Maybe this thing can even solve the puzzle of anti-gravity, so it is not only related to our interests but also related to the strength of our country. Therefore, this time, we absolutely can't just leave it alone. No matter what that brat's identity is, he must pay for it."
"Okay, I support James." The male foreigner replied immediately.
Witt hesitated a little.
But since there were no other negative opinions, James and the male foreigner's words made her gradually agree.
"If this is the case, I agree too. This matter is indeed very strange." Witt said in a low voice, but somehow, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
...
Confucian Temple, on that stone street.
Ye Bei walked faintly on it.
Although there was such a big incident in Year's Trace Antique Shop just now, there were few people who knew. So when he was walking, the people on the side of the road, besides casting a curious look at his clothes, no one came up to disturb him.
However, the man who followed Ye Bei from the entrance of the Confucian Temple still followed behind.
"Little fellow... just now, you were really amazing! By the way, I have forgotten to introduce myself. My surname is Gongsun and my name is Bo. I used to sell cultural relics. Now I am making a fortune at the Confucian Temple and doing some small business. Sir, how about this, I'm very familiar with this Confucian Temple, I know which stores have good collections, so why don't we cooperate? I appraise the goods, you buy the goods, I'm sure you'll make a profit without losing a cent. And I take ten you take ninety." Gongsun Bo's voice continued.
At the same time, he kept winking.
Ye Bei still did not intend to reply back.
But after hearing these words, he slowed down slightly.
"You are very familiar with this Confucian Temple? Then do you know... where is Lu Wensheng's residence?" Ye Bei said with that tasteless emotion as usual.
After hearing this, Gongsun Bo stagnated.
Lu Wensheng was a legend and had disappeared for decades.
In the Confucian Temple, all that was left was the legend about him. There were no people who knew where he went.
But it just so happened that this Gongsun Bo really knew.
It was just that this secret had been hidden deep in his heart since a long time ago, and he had never told anyone.
"Sir, you are kidding, right? Lu Wensheng might have died long ago! If he were alive, he would be at least one hundred and twenty or thirty years old. In this world, no one can live for so long, and he hasn't been seen for decades. No one knows where he is! I don't really know about this." Gongsun Bo said.
When he said this, he put away the look of a hippie smiling face and replaced it with a serious face.
With Ye Bei listened, he turned his head slightly. That deep and carefree gaze seemed to swept across Gongsun Bo inadvertently.
After the latter felt that look, his body trembled without control.
"Just take me over." Immediately after, the corner of Ye Bei's mouth moved slightly.
"I" Gongsun Bo wanted to say something else. But the moment his eyes met Ye Bei's, he quickly lowered his head.
Soon, he took a deep breath.
"This lad is really not easy. Look at this dress, he looks like an ancient person. He can still get that piece of magical amber. Maybe Elder Lu will be interested in him. I will take him over now, presumably Elder Lu will not blame me, right?" The moment he lowered his head, Gongsun Bo thought immediately.
Then he looked up again as he continued, "I will take you over!"
With this, Gongsun Bo no longer hesitated, nor did he follow Ye Bei anymore.
He quickly walked ahead.
After looking left and right, then looking back, making sure that no one noticed him, he continued to move forward.
But after two steps, Gongsun Bo felt wrong again. With this feeling, he immediately slowed down the pace.
After Ye Bei walked side by side with him, and a little bit forward, he continued walking.
As for Ye Bei...
He was walking with his hands on his back, white clothes fluttering, and his eyes looked to the front.
A familiar figure soon appeared in his mind.
