90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 82: Appearance

In Private Room No. 1, Ye Bei sat quietly on a chair.

"Wang Gu, do you remember what your father said?" Ye Bei asked Wang Gu nonchalantly.

Wang Gu knelt on the ground, his body swayed slightly. Not long ago, his old man asked him to serve Ye Bei in the future and become Ye Bei's servant. At that time, he probably had already anticipated it by then, "Ancestor, Wang Gu never dare to forget!" 

"Are you suitable?" Ye Bei's voice was very balmy.

Wang Gu looked at Ye Bei who was wearing a white robe like a heavenly man, "Wang Gu will do his best!"

"I'll change my mind in the future." Ye Bei nodded after hearing this, then he stretched out two fingers, and picked up an empty teacup, but the moment he picked it up, clear water quietly appeared in it.

Wang Gu was silent.

Not long after, the redness in Wang Gu's eyes began to disappear, replaced by calm and firmness. Obviously, now he had made a decision, "Yes, sir!"

"Wang Gu, you are not young anymore. For many things, just let it go with the flow, don't care too much." Ye Bei positioned the teacup near his mouth, after he finished the sentence, he drank the cup of clear water in one gulp.

"Yes." Wang Gu nodded and replied calmly, hiding all the sadness in his heart. His old man was over a hundred years old. Although he had regrets, his life was already worthwhile when that painting had appeared again after waiting for so many years.

If it wasn't for him being confused, if it wasn't for him being too naive, if it wasn't for him questioning Ye Bei's identity... Perhaps, when the old man traveled far away, he still had a chance to look at him again.

"Get up!" After drinking the water, Ye Bei put down the teacup.

"Yes, sir!" Wang Gu stopped hesitating and stood up slowly.

There were not many things that had happened today, but everything made him understand.

At this time, there were too many troubles and shackles in the world. he had lived for so long, but he had not seen it through. Now the old man was gone, and all his relatives were no longer around, not even the gallery. 

To some extent, Wang Gu had no worries about him, and he became extremely free and easy.

"Sit!" Ye Bei's eyes were leisurely, and Wang Gu's changes were all in his eyes. He stood up and spoke quietly.

Wang Gu walked to a wooden chair but didn't sit down, his eyes were cloudy, he couldn't help but ask, "Old Master, when you promised him to you accept me... Did you expect all this?"

"Yeah." After a bit of consideration, Ye Bei hummed.

In this world, in addition to the mystery of longevity and the information related to it, he knew the past life and knew the future. If Ye Bei wanted it, he could deduce it with his fingers, but in many cases, Ye Bei would not do that.

"You don't have to think about it, you and I are fated. After this auction is over, I will leave you to do one thing." Seeing Wang Gu got the answer, Ye Bei said lightly.

"Yes, sir!" Wang Gu replied, and then he sat cautiously on a chair. He wore a pair of reading glasses, and his hair was gray... but he was a bit wiser and mature than the old-fashioned look at the first meeting.

Inside the Peaceful Restaurant, the auction which was still going on a while ago quietly came to an end.

In the beginning...

Those rich and powerful also talked a lot about the lantern in the Private Room No. 1, and they were in an uproar after each auction.

But as time passed, the lantern showed no sign of being removed. 

For those rich and powerful people, the more unknown things were, the more fearful they became.

Everyone had begun to learn to be clever, and they had begun to secretly calculate in their hearts... If it was just because of an antique to ruin oneself or even offended a terrible person, it was obviously not worth it. Having reached this point in life, those people were best at adapting to situations.

Therefore, at the end of the auction, no one dared to bid a price. Those treasures were too cheap compared to their lives.

Consequently, an unprecedented spectacle appeared in this auction. The more they went later, the starting price was obviously higher, but the final selling price was constantly decreasing.

This situation even caused the enchanting woman on the auction stage to have a bit of sorrow on her face, but there was no notice on it, so she had to continue to take out the antiquities and introduce, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the seventh auction item! It came from the depths of the sea. It was accidentally obtained from the deep sea by an employee of a salvage company. It was a sealed glass bottle. The salvager at that time treated it as a drifting bottle and discarded it at will on the beach, but it was finally obtained by our team by accident." 

"After our team's strict judgment and analysis, this glass bottle is not simple. It has a history of nearly two thousand years. Even in the bottle, there is a sheepskin roll hidden. Unfortunately, after our team's research, we didn't see any text on the sheepskin scroll, so we took this artifact out for auction as the maintenance team's funding. However, I think everyone understands its value. It comes from two thousand years ago, it is equivalent to the China National Treasure and Warring States Crystal Cup! The starting price is 100 million!"

After saying this, the enchanting woman no longer created any mystery and setting off the atmosphere, she decisively lifted the black cloth instead. 

Snapped!

The laser light fell just on it.

On the ancient wooden tray, there was a 'glass bottle' the size of a mineral water bottle. From the surface, the bottle looked plain without any glaring features, and even on the bottle body, there were some cracks.

But

When the light fell, the bottle exuded an indescribable sense of historical vicissitudes.

The quiet dignitaries also began to be unable to sit still, with their eyes wide open.

"100 million? This bottle?" Long Hai said stupidly, that bottle was more than his net worth. 

"It's just a crystal bottle. Modern craftsmanship can make a better one! 100 million is not worth it... I see, this auction is deliberately bluffing people! Anyway, I am not afraid that no one will buy it." Xuelan answered, her voice contained a bit of sarcasm, but from time to time, she looked in the direction of the Private Room No. 1, it was not known what she was thinking about.

After listening to this, Long Hai remembered the boy in the white robe on the Ancient Street before, and immediately scolded, "Shut up, what the hell do you know?"

A young man sitting next to him couldn't help answering the conversation, his voice was a little joking, "If it is really a crystal bottle of two thousand years of history and modern craftsmanship, then this thing is absolutely priceless! Because of the existence of this thing, it can be proved that someone once traveled from modern times to ancient times! What a shocking thing is this?"

But after hearing this, Long Hai and Xuelan trembled slightly.

A strange thought quietly appeared in their minds. 

And in the Private Room No. 1.

After hearing about the crystal bottle, Ye Bei's gaze was taken back from the direction of the Ancient Street, and his mouth murmured softly, "It seems that what the old deceased wanted me to see has always appeared."
