Hua Taisui glanced at Li Tianqi: "Since you don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say anything." After saying that, Hua Taisui turned around and left.
Li Tianqi hesitated for a moment, then raised his foot and chased after Hua Taisui: "Hua Taisui, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Don't walk so fast."
The corner of Hua Taisui's mouth raised a hint of pride, and he said in his heart: Li Tianqi, I knew you would catch up! Humph, this time you have something to ask of me, let's see how I deal with you!
"Um, Hua Taisui... Fellow Taoist Hua, I'm sorry just now. What I said was a bit inappropriate. Please don't mind... Well, can we find a place to have a good chat?" Li Tianqi said politely.
Hua Taisui shook his hair: "I'm not free now!"
Li Tianqi's face twitched: "Um, fellow Taoist Hua, when will you be free?"
"I don't know." Hua Taisui said calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Hua..." Before Li Tianqi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hua Taisui.
"Li Tianqi, I'm very busy now. I hope you won't follow me anymore. Do you understand?" Hua Taisui snorted and walked towards the opposite street.
Li Tianqi felt so depressed. Isn't this retribution? In the past, he didn't want to see Hua Taisui, but now it's the other way around. He has to run after Hua Taisui. God really knows how to torture people.
Although he was very depressed and annoyed, Li Tianqi still did not give up. He followed Hua Taisui and kept saying good things.
At this time, Hua Taisui was in a very comfortable mood, and said in his heart: Li Tianqi, Li Tianqi, aren't you awesome? In the end, why don't you just look at my face obediently? Haha... It's so refreshing!
Under Li Tianqi's diligent "service" and sincere apology, Hua Taisui finally forgave Li Tianqi.
"Li Tianqi, to be honest, I really don't want to talk to you." Hua Taisui snorted: "I Hua Taisui was kind enough to make friends with you, but you didn't take it seriously and even drove me away. Do you know that you seriously hurt me?
of self-esteem!”
"Fellow Daoist Hua, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have driven you away. Don't worry, from now on, you will be my best friend, Li Tianqi, and I will never drive you away again!" Li Tianqi promised.
road.
"Now that you are asking for something from me, of course you should say something nice. When you no longer need me, why don't you just kick me away?" Hua Taisui curled his lips.
"No, how could I do this... Fellow Taoist Hua, if you don't believe it, I can swear it..." Li Tianqi said hurriedly.
"Don't fool me with your swearing. I won't do that." Hua Taisui rolled his eyes.
Li Tianqi suddenly had a headache. This Hua Taisui was simply too difficult to take care of. He really wanted to turn around and walk away, but in order to get the news about the auction, Li Tianqi could only endure it. Alas...it's really hard to live these days.
.
Hua Taisui glanced at Li Tianqi and said in a pretentious manner: "I'm just a soft-hearted person. Let's do this... If you promise me one condition, I will completely forgive you."
"What conditions?" Li Tianqi looked at Hua Taisui warily.
"Don't look at me like that. The conditions I proposed are very simple." Hua Taisui frowned: "If you treat me to a meal, I will forgive you!"
Li Tianqi raised his eyebrows: "Is it that simple?"
"Ah? What's wrong? If you don't want to, forget it..." Hua Taisui said.
"Yes, of course I do. Come on, I'll invite you to dinner now." Li Tianqi was afraid that Hua Taisui would regret it, so he hurriedly led Hua Taisui into a large restaurant.
Money was abundant for Li Tianqi, so Li Tianqi didn't care whether he saved money or not. He only wanted the most expensive dishes. In a short time, the table was filled with fragrant dishes.
Hua Taisui was not polite, rolled up his sleeves, and started eating and drinking.
Because Li Tianqi was worried, he didn't eat much, and spent more time helping Hua Taisui pick up vegetables and pour tea.
"Oh..." Hua Taisui leaned on the chair and stretched out his hand to touch his round belly: "Today's meal was so satisfying!" As he spoke, Hua Taisui picked up the tea cup and took a pleasant sip.
"Fellow Taoist Hua, we've finished our meal, can you forgive me?" Li Tianqi said with a smile.
Hua Taisui glanced at Li Tianqi and nodded: "For the sake of this meal, I have to do it... I forgive you."
"Now can you tell me about the auction?" Li Tianqi asked impatiently.
"Why are you so anxious? Wait for me to rest for a while." Hua Taisui pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, you rest, I'll wait." Li Tianqi smiled.
The room that Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui were in at this time was a separate private room in the restaurant. The sound insulation measures were very good, so Li Tianqi was not afraid of others eavesdropping on the conversation. Besides, when Li Tianqi was talking to Hua Taisui, his consciousness had quietly enveloped him.
If someone eavesdropped, Li Tianqi would notice it immediately.
After drinking two cups of tea, Hua Taisui's mood finally improved: "Li Tianqi, do you really want to know about the auction?"
The corner of Li Tianqi's mouth twitched. Isn't this nonsense? If he didn't want to know about the auction, how could he serve you in such a humble manner? Although he was slandering in his heart, Li Tianqi didn't show it at all on the surface: "Of course."
"This auction is held very secretly. It is impossible for people without certain connections to receive the news..." Hua Taisui glanced at Li Tianqi: "I am very curious, how did you know about the auction?"
"It was Mr. Zhu who told me." Li Tianqi did not hide anything: "At that time, Mr. Zhu also said that after the robbery of the caravan was over, he would take me to the auction. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhu died.
…”
Hua Taisui was stunned: "How do you know that Mr. Zhu is dead? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Ah... no, I guessed..." Li Tianqi felt that he had made a mistake and hurriedly explained: "After the operation, I looked for Mr. Zhu several times, but in the end I couldn't find him, so I guessed that Mr. Zhu might be the murderer.
Too much luck..."
After listening to Li Tianqi's explanation, the doubts on Hua Taisui's face were reduced a lot, and it seemed that he believed Li Tianqi's explanation.
"Well, speaking of it, I'm really unlucky. Mr. Zhu still owes me half of the reward." Li Tianqi sighed.
"Half the reward?" Hua Taisui was stunned.
"Yes, Mr. Zhu invited me to help him rob the caravan and gave me half of the reward in advance. After the operation is over, he will give me the other half. But now that Mr. Zhu is missing and his life and death are unknown, my half
My reward is probably wasted." Li Tianqi shook his head helplessly.
Hua Taisui smiled: "You are so honest, you actually only asked for half of the reward in advance."
"What do you mean? Aren't you like this?" Li Tianqi frowned.
"Of course not." Hua Taisui shook his head: "I got all the rewards at once."
"I gave you all my reward at once? Isn't Mr. Zhu afraid that you will run away with the spirit stone?" Li Tianqi looked a little stunned.
Hua Taisui smiled: "You think too low of me. Although I usually act like a fool, I will definitely fulfill my promises. In other words, my character is very noble..." Boasting
After a few words, Hua Taisui continued: "Actually, Mr. Zhu and I have known each other for a while, and he has some understanding of my personality, so he can rest assured and give me all the rewards at once."
"It turns out that you and Mr. Zhu knew each other before." Li Tianqi showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Actually, they are just ordinary friends... Mr. Zhu is too scheming. I don't like him at all..." Hua Taisui curled his lips.
"Okay, let's not talk about Mr. Zhu, let's talk about the auction." Li Tianqi said.
"I see you are anxious..." Hua Taisui rolled his eyes at Li Tianqi: "I also accidentally learned about the auction. It is said that it was held by some very powerful and well-backed people. This auction is not open to the public.
, confidentiality is very strong, and only people with a certain identity can participate."
"I heard that there will be a lot of elixirs and herbs at the auction?" Li Tianqi asked.
Hua Taisui shook his head: "I don't know about this, but there should be some, and the level of the elixirs and herbs that can appear at the auction should not be too bad. Similarly, the auction prices will also be very high.
High, at least much higher than the price on the market.”
"Fellow Hua Daoist, do you know where the auction will be held?" Li Tianqi asked after pondering for a moment.
"I don't know." Hua Taisui asked simply.
Li Tianqi frowned: "You just said you were going to the auction..."
"Haha..." Hua Taisui chuckled and said, "Yes, I am going to attend the auction."
"But you don't know where the auction will be held, how can you attend it?" Li Tianqi asked doubtfully.
"This is very simple." Hua Taisui reached out and took out a token from his arms: "Do you know what this is?"
Li Tianqi glanced at the token in Hua Taisui's hand and shook his head: "I don't know."
"This is a special messaging token." Hua Taisui introduced: "When the auction is held, someone will transfer the address of the auction to the token. At that time, I can follow the instructions displayed on the token.
Went to attend the auction at the address.”
"It's so mysterious!" Li Tianqi was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it just an auction? Is it necessary to make it so complicated?"
Hua Taisui put away the token and said with a smile: "I also think it's a bit complicated, but that's what the organizer has stipulated, and there's nothing I can do about it. If I hadn't heard that there were many weird treasures at the auction, I wouldn't have bothered to participate.
"
"Uh..." Li Tianqi licked his dry lips: "Fellow Taoist Hua, can we discuss something?"
"Say." Hua Taisui nodded.
"Can you take me to the auction with you?" Li Tianqi said: "I won't let your help go in vain, I will give you a reward..."
Hua Taisui looked at Li Tianqi with a faint smile: "Remuneration? What compensation can you give me?"
