"Oh, since Mister Murong's evaluation of me, Jiang Liu'er, is like this, then I think, our deal ends here. Xuanyuan Mingxue, let's go."

Jiang Liu'er gave Murong Ba Tian a cold face. What kind of person was Jiang Liu'er, why would he let others point their fingers at his life? What's more, if he didn't want to do it, even if the heavens came, he wouldn't do it either.

Murong Batian stared at him, anger instantly welled up, "What are you trying to play with me!" My hand felt like I was punching it on the arm of a nearby sofa.

The strength behind this fist was not small. With a bang, it caused Xuanyuan Mingxue's body to tremble slightly.

"If I, Jiang Liu'er, had a request, I wouldn't be so self-righteous. Sir Mu Rong is an elder, that's why I, Jiang Liu'er, am so courteous, and since Mister Mu Rong thinks that I'm just a young man, then your distrust of me has already been placed on the table. If the two sides of the deal don't trust each other, this transaction will definitely end in failure, I just follow these rules."

What kind of character was Murong Batian? No matter what circle he was in, he would always be considered an influential figure. A little brat like Jiang Liu'er was nothing in his eyes, but …

This time, he was completely wrong. Jiang Liu'er was different from the ordinary characters. On the surface, he was indeed a young man in his early twenties. However, whether it was his intelligence or his intellect, they were both on par with this old fox. There was always a possibility of surpassing him. After all, he was still young.

Murong Batian's IQ wasn't that low, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Haha, I was just joking. Why are you so nervous, come sit."

Jiang Liu'er wanted to choke back her anger, but she felt that there was no need for that. Whether he did it or not did not have much of an impact on her. After all, he had already gotten Wu Hui's favor.

After they sat down again, Murong Batian's attitude became a lot more polite, "Lad, I didn't think that you would be able to get hold of this so quickly." As Murong Batian said this, his eyes started to involuntarily glance at the box beside Jiang Liu'er's hand.

Jiang Liu'er was very confident in this transaction, and felt that it was a good thing that she had become the leader.

"Haha, Mister Mu Rong doesn't need to be polite with me, just talking business is just talking business."

Murong Batian nodded. He didn't think that Jiang Liu'er would be so anxious, so he decided not to beat around the bush. Anyways, he didn't have much to say to this young man who would occasionally rise to prominence in the antique industry.

As long as there was value in using it, he would continue to cooperate. However, before he could do so, he kicked it away. He had long since gotten used to this kind of windy and rainy days.

Murong Batian took out the cheque that he had prepared earlier and passed it to Jiang Liu'er. However, when Jiang Liu'er held it, he let go.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Liu'er frowned. He thought that the transaction would end here, but he didn't expect that Murong Batian would have anything more to say.

When Murong Batian decided to give Jiang Liu'er the cheque, he had already thought it through carefully. Of course, he didn't want to spend a single cent to get the vase in his hands, but Jiang Liu'er was indeed very strong. Since Jiang Liu'er had the ability, then he might as well continue cooperating.

"Haha, Jiang Liu'er is a smart person. He won't be able to guess the meaning behind my words, right?"

Xuanyuan Mingxue had been quietly pinching Jiang Liu'er's pulse, afraid that if anything went wrong, the energy in Jiang Liu'er's body would gush out, allowing him to lose control of the situation. Fortunately, Jiang Liu'er was also controlling the flow of the river, and the yellow air current that had just been absorbed was already well absorbed into his body.

Of course, Jiang Liu'er knew that Murong Batian only wanted to use his power to get more things, but she didn't expect him to move so fast, which was why it had just become a business deal.

"One to one." Jiang Liu'er loosened her grip on the cheque and said one sentence. Murong Batian's face was a little awkward as he tried his best to hide the awkwardness in his heart. He was still seen by Jiang Liu'er that he didn't want to pay, so he placed the cheque on the table.

"Of course it's one on one. I, Murong Batian, am not a stingy person, but I'm afraid that the next time we work together, it won't be as smooth as this time."

Jiang Liu'er snorted. For such a cunning character like Murong Batian, every word he said was a trap. He definitely wouldn't step into it.

"So what you're saying is, use this check's money as a guarantee that I'm willing to work for you. Xuanyuan Mingxue?" Jiang Liu'er's rhetorical question was filled with mockery, causing Xuanyuan Mingxue, who had always been obedient, to laugh uncontrollably.

Murong Batian coughed twice. He was obviously choked by Jiang Liu'er's words. He, an old fox, in just a few minutes, had been toyed with by Jiang Liu'er, a young man?

"Of course not, I won't say much if you're joking. If possible, I look forward to the next collaboration." Murong Batian took out a large document from the table beside the sofa and handed it to Jiang Liu'er.

Jiang Liu'er hesitated for a moment. Actually, he didn't want to interact too much with this old fox, Murong Batian, but … Just by relying on his and Xuanyuan Mingxue's strength, finding a treasure that could absorb air currents was simply like looking for a needle in a haystack. Add to that the items on the antique street, and Jiang Liu'er would be able to absorb them all after a few more tries.

On the other hand, although Murong Batian only had one treasure, after this first collaboration, Jiang Liu'er already knew that Murong Ba's treasures would definitely have treasures of a higher level than this yellow air current. If this continued, the rewards he would receive would definitely be even more than what Murong Batian had received from him.

Jiang Liu'er stretched out her hand and received the document. Just as she opened it, she was stunned, because the thing that Murong Batian wanted him to help him get was the bracelet that she had absorbed not long ago.

Murong Batian saw the ugly expression on Jiang Liu'er's face and knew that Jiang Liu'er wouldn't be able to help him. He wanted to mock him, but he decided against it in the end because he wasn't stupid enough to make Jiang Liu'er angry. After all, he had to get more from Jiang Liu'er.

"If you have any problems, you can say them."

Jiang Liu'er felt that the matter regarding the bracelet was better than Murong Batian speaking the truth, so she opened her mouth, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murong. If you had given me this information earlier, I think I could have helped you. This bracelet was only destroyed by me last month."

"What did you say, destroy?" Murong Batian almost fell off the sofa. He quickly adjusted his sitting posture and looked at Jiang Liu'er again, "Did you just say something? Did I hear it wrong?"

Murong Batian had been searching for this bracelet for a long time and had only heard about it recently. He wanted to find the blue and white porcelain that he wanted and then search for clues about this bracelet.

"Yes." Jiang Liu'er nodded, denying Murong Batian's remaining hope. "Yes, Mr Murong, you did not mishear me. I did destroy this bracelet last month. I'm sorry."

Murong Batian's face was filled with disappointment. He shook his head, sighed a few times, and suddenly lost the mood to continue chatting, "Sorry, I'm not feeling well, I'll get the driver to take you back. I'll contact you in two days."

Jiang Liu'er didn't plan to stay in the Mu Rong family's residence for long. She got on the car with the driver, but Xuanyuan Mingxue and Jiang Liu'er didn't say anything along the way until they got off the car and walked to their house.

"The yellow airflow has already been completely absorbed, there's no problem at all. However, I think it's better for us to hurry up and read the book that Jiang Rong gave us."

Jiang Liu'er nodded. As the two of them entered the room, Jiang Liu'er suddenly felt extremely sleepy. Before Xuanyuan Mingxue could even take out the book, she had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Xuanyuan Mingxue smiled dotingly as she watched Jiang Liu'er tiredly fall asleep. She turned around and went back to her room to take out a blanket to cover Jiang Liu'er. She looked at the book in her hands before shrugging her shoulders and returning it to a distant place.

The sky outside the window was gradually darkening, and Xuanyuan Mingxue decided to cook a sumptuous meal for Jiang Liu'er to comfort him for the past few days.

To Xuanyuan Mingxue, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables was as easy as brushing one's teeth and washing one's face every morning. In half an hour, the smell of food could be smelled from the kitchen.

The crackling sound woke Jiang Liu'er up from her sleep. She smelled the fragrant food in the room, and his stomach began to growl. He crawled up from the sofa, feeling a little puzzled as to why he was sleeping on it.

Walking into the kitchen, he looked at Xuanyuan Mingxue who was busying herself in the kitchen and became slightly lost in thought. Suddenly, his thoughts drifted back to the morning when Xuanyuan Mingxue had just arrived at his house, which was also the current scene. He suddenly felt like he was married and the person who was busying himself in the kitchen was his wife.

Jiang Liu'er quickly shook her head, feeling ridiculous for her strange idea. Zhang was so big, other than having a crush on Yang Xiaodong, he didn't even have a girlfriend. How could he get married and have children, leading such a life for an old man?

"You're awake?" From the corner of her eyes, Xuanyuan Mingxue saw the person at the kitchen door and turned around to see the dazed Jiang Liu'er. She called out to him.

Jiang Liu'er acknowledged him with an 'oh' before walking towards the table with delicious dishes. She extended her hand, preparing to grab them.

Pa.

With a sound, the force of Xuanyuan Mingxue's palm strike was not small. It struck Jiang Liu'er so hard that the back of his hand became a little numb. "Hiss." Jiang Liu'er sucked in a deep breath. Raising her eyebrows, she pretended to be angry as she looked at Xuanyuan Mingxue.

Xuanyuan Mingxue smirked as she took the chopsticks and passed them to Jiang Liu'er. "Alright, alright, stop pretending with me. Take these chopsticks and eat." Looking at the way Jiang Liu'er was eating, Xuanyuan Mingxue suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.
