"I asked you, will you go to the treasure fighting competition?" Ye Qing suddenly shouted in my ear at the top of his lungs, which shocked me so much that the umbrella in his hand almost fell to the ground.
I frowned and looked at Ye Qing, "It's not like I can just go if I want to."
Everyone knows the requirements of the Treasure Fighting Conference. I don’t have much status in the antique world, and I don’t fight against each other. The identity of Mr. Xiao Long is of no use here. The requirements of the Treasure Fighting Conference are that you are the son of the chairman.
, if you are not in this field, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to get in. Unless you receive an invitation letter.
Although I am also very interested in the treasure fighting conference, not everyone can control this. If the treasure fighting conference does not invite me, there is nothing I can do.
"What did you say?" Ye Qing suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted.
I hurriedly took a step back, held the umbrella on the head of Ye Qing who was behind me, and said: "You also know the system of the Treasure Fighting Conference. My grandfather can't do anything about it. Do you think I can go when I want to? Say that.
Get up, why do you suddenly ask this? Although you always cooperate with grandpa, I don't know when you became interested in antiques."
The corner of Ye Qing's mouth raised, "Of course I'm not interested in ordinary vulgar things. What's going to appear this time is something that even Old Master Long is interested in, so naturally I'm also interested."
"What's the use of being interested? I'm interested too, but you can't do anything about the system." I said while following Ye Qing's footsteps and continuing to walk forward.
"System, haha, where I want to go, nothing can stop me! But, strange, if you say so, you didn't receive an invitation to the treasure fighting conference?" Ye Qing looked at me and frowned.
asked.
"What is my identity? Of course I didn't receive it. I, a nobody, was invited to the Treasure Fighting Conference that year!" I rolled my eyes. It's not like Ye Qing didn't know my identity.
"It doesn't make sense, I obviously have your invitation letter!" Ye Qing frowned, "Damn it, Old Master Long, did he withhold it?"
Ye Qing was mumbling and didn't know what he was talking about. I couldn't hear clearly. Ye Qing said in a more serious tone: "You have to go to this treasure fighting conference! Come on, follow me to find that old man!"
The sky was thundering and the rain was pouring down. I followed Ye Qing and struggled to hold the umbrella above Ye Qing's head. I dare say that Ye Qing didn't get a drop of rain, but I had turned into a real drowned rat.
Women are so damn hard to take care of.
After a while, we arrived at the door of Grandpa's antique shop. When we reached the door, Ye Qing suddenly stopped and stopped me at the same time. He pulled me aside and stood under the eaves next to the door.
At that moment, I saw that my grandfather’s antique shop was very busy, and everyone was actually there.
Ma Xiaolan, Mo Yibai, Hua Bubai, Shiyi and my grandfather were all here.
I frowned. I wasn't surprised that Hua Bubai and Ma Xiaolan would come to see my grandfather, but Mo Yibai and Eleven also appeared here. Mo Yibai in particular was a bit weird.
Ye Qing motioned for me not to speak yet and to listen carefully.
The rain had calmed down a bit, and the voices inside were neither soft nor loud, but just enough for us to hear.
First, my grandfather’s voice came to my ears: “Do you want to show this post to him or not? I don’t want to give it to him privately. He is my grandson after all, but I have to ask for your opinion. After all, the matter is
Everyone is involved."
"I can get what he needs. There is no need for him to wade into this muddy water." Mo Yibai said.
"Well...there are already enough people involved in this matter, Long Zuimeng...I don't want him to fall into the quagmire. Whether it's because of your request or my selfishness. The more we get along with him, the less I want him to.
He came in. He is so naive. Once he gets into this quagmire, I don’t know what will happen to him." Ma Xiaolan’s tone was a little solemn.
"But the things on him..." Eleven hesitated to speak.
"Although I also want to protect Mr. Xiao Long who knows nothing, but it seems that there are some things that he must do by himself. I think it is better for him to participate in the treasure fighting conference, since it is an invitation sent by the conference.
Letters always have their own purpose. Mr. Xiaolong is a little naive, but he is also a smart man, and he has grown a lot during this time. It will depend on what he chooses, and I am not sure yet.
Will things appear, right?" Hua Bubai's voice was not glib for the first time, but was extremely solemn.
I froze outside and couldn't hear a word anymore. These people were obviously hiding something from me. I was the only one who was kept in the dark about this matter, and they all knew about it and even discussed it secretly.
Although I heard that everyone seemed to be hiding something to protect me, I felt uncomfortable at all. It seemed that all my secrets had been exposed. Everyone was talking about it with relish, but I felt complacent.
He hid himself very well.
Before I could turn around, I heard my grandfather yelling from inside: "Whoever is outside, if you want to come in, come in. Don't be sneaky like me!"
Ye Qing pushed me from behind, and then walked me into my grandfather's antique shop.
In the antique shop, a group of people looked at us blankly, obviously not expecting us to be here and standing outside the door to eavesdrop.
"Let me tell you, why didn't Long Zuimeng receive the post about the treasure fighting conference? It turns out that it was held by you, Mr. Long!" Ye Qing raised his voice and said.
Hua Bubai and Eleven stood up from their stools in panic, and asked worriedly: "Master Xiaolong, how much did you hear?"
"I heard enough words to arouse my suspicion." I had calmed down and slowly took a few steps forward and said.
The wet clothes on his body were dripping onto the ground. Lin Sheng next to him groaned and said: "Master Xiaolong, you are already soaked. Wait a minute, I will get you a towel!"
Lin Sheng ran to the back room, and Ye Qing rushed in front of my grandfather, stood in front of the counter and slammed his fist on the counter, "Old Master Long, I think you should take out the invitation. What did you say to me just now?"
I heard it too, and it’s not an option for you to be so protective all the time. Since I’ve been invited to the conference, I’m naturally interested in the conference.”
My grandfather glanced at me, shook the folding fan in his hand, slowly took out a black envelope from the drawer, put it on the counter, and said: "Your invitation came with mine.
"
Inside the black envelope was a black invitation. It had the words "Bao Dou Conference" written on it, and my name and the three characters "Long Zuimeng" were also written on it.
I was a little surprised that I would receive an invitation letter from the treasure fighting competition, and I was even more confused about how grandpa and the others wanted to protect me.
While I was wiping my hair with the towel that Lin Sheng brought out for me, I pulled out an empty chair next to me and sat down in front of my grandfather and the others who were discussing me just now.
"Should someone explain to me the topic of your discussion?" I put my legs together and looked up at my grandpa.
This cunning old man looks a lot different from his actual age, but he looks like he is in his forties or fifties. If someone who doesn’t know him tells them that he is my father, they will definitely think he is too young. His body is too strong and tough, and he is not too young.
No matter how many years have passed, this man has never looked older.
I'm not too curious, and I'm very good at controlling myself, but once something happens to me, I can't help but ask what's going on.
Ye Qing leaned on the counter behind me interestingly, as if he was watching a good show.
Moreover, among the few people in front of them, Hua Bubai and Shi Yi looked embarrassed, and Mo Yibai and Ma Xiaolan still had dead faces. No matter how you looked at them, you couldn't tell what thoughts were hidden behind their indifferent expressions.
My grandpa was even more enigmatic. He was lying on the recliner, the fan in his hand was rocking rhythmically with the rocking chair behind him, his legs were shaking so much that it made veins pop out just by looking at it, but
There's nothing you can do about him.
I have been following my grandfather for a long time, so I am naturally a bit patient. The enemy has not yet attacked, so I naturally cannot mess up my position.
I looked at my grandfather, not anxious or anxious. Even though the clothes on my body were soaked and sticky, there was a chilly feeling in the air-conditioned room. I just looked at my grandfather like this.
Lin Sheng looked a little anxious at the side: "Master Xiaolong, your clothes are soaked, you will catch a cold! Go in and change your clothes first!"
"You, Mr. Xiaolong, my health is not that bad, and I am not a girl. I will get sick if I get caught in the rain!" I looked at my grandpa provocatively. I didn't believe that you would be more patient than me.
Hua Bubai and Shi Yi didn't know whether to sit or stand for a long time. They looked at me and then at my grandpa, looking like they were hesitant to speak.
"There are some things you'd better not know." Ma Xiaolan said after a long time.
"What things should I not know?" I looked at Ma Xiaolan and asked. If it is about myself, I think I should know, even if it means that I will become a monster, or that I still have
A few minutes of life, I know, and I know how to die. I always thought that I have been exposed to too much. I have even seen the Lord of Hell, and I have also seen scales growing on my back. I never thought that it was too much.
There's nothing I can't accept.
But now I never know how much I hope that I will not embark on this road in the future. This road is so difficult, so tiring, and so lonely. But now I don’t know what will happen in the future.
That's why I am so curious. If I know, in the future, I think I will choose that I would rather be kept in the dark. I would even rather let my life be taken away by the Lord of Hell early.
"You don't need to know." Mo Yibai looked at me coldly and said.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Someone clapped their hands and walked in with admiration, "You're really well protected!"
I turned my head, and the person who appeared surprised me. It turned out to be An, the person who had told me my grandfather's photo, flute, and news about my grandfather, and organized a few of us to find the tomb of the immortal.
