C68 The Treasure Appraisal Auction began

"Five hundred contribution points."

When Chen Yao saw the label on it, he was immediately shocked.

Five hundred contribution points was not a small number. Even when exchanging for the high level yellow level martial arts microstep, he had only spent five points of Three Realms Merit.

However, the more expensive the Three Realms Merit, the more it was.

Chen Yao thought for a while. There were indeed a lot of 500 Three Realms Merit, but if he could obtain this Martial Immortal Legacy, then before he could at least become a Heavenly Immortal, he would not lack martial arts techniques. Thinking of this, Chen Yao became extremely excited and decided to exchange for the Martial Immortal Legacy.

He had 480 Three Realms Merit now, which was 20 points away from 500. If he did not make a mistake, he should be able to accumulate enough tomorrow.

When the time came, he would be able to choose a decent martial arts technique from the Martial Immortal Legacy. As long as he could enter the ranks of inner strength experts, in addition to his numerous powerful martial arts, Chen Yao would even dare to fight a Qi Condensation expert.

Thinking of this, Chen Yao's heart was filled with fervor.

The displeasure he had felt a moment ago was instantly swept away. He returned to his room in high spirits, and went to sleep with his head covered.

Looking at the courtyard wall that was pushed by the excavator, Chen Yao muttered to himself.

"Looks like I have to find Li Qiang. I have to get the Scene Xiushan's second villa that he promised me."

Early in the morning, Chen Yao was awoken by the ringing of his mobile phone.

"Hello."

Having worked so hard for the entire night, Chen Yao didn't even look at the caller ID before answering the call.

"Hello, Chen Yao. Can you accompany me to see the auction house at Jing Xiushan at three o'clock this afternoon?" A graceful female voice came over the phone.

Ever since he had obtained the Ear of the Zephyr, as long as it was a voice Chen Yao had heard before, he would be extremely familiar with it.

There was no doubt about it.

Chen Yao thought about it for a moment. These few days were National Day. The school was on vacation, so there really wasn't much to do. Thus, he agreed.

"Mm, alright."

Hearing Chen Yao's agreement, Li Mengran became extremely excited.

"Well, I'll send you my address. Come and pick me up at two-thirty."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yao fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up again, it was already 2 o'clock. Thinking about his promise with Li Mengran, Chen Yao hastily washed his face and brushed his teeth, then went out of the house to take his car to Li Mengran's house.

Li Mengran's home was easy to find, after all it was more than an acre.

"Li Residence."

There were probably a few people in the Jiangbei City that did not know about it. It was likely that Li Mengran had already informed the security guards at the entrance, so when they saw the car, the Li Residence's door opened wide for Chen Yao.

Stopping in the courtyard of the Li Residence, Chen Yao looked at the grand building as his heart was filled with emotion. Besides the Jingxiu Pavilion, only the Zhou Family's hundred year old mansion could be compared with the Li Residence.

Beep, beep, beep.

Chen Yao pressed the horn on the car. Soon, the door to the first floor was opened and a graceful figure emerged from within.

Chen Yao, who was lazily eating the ice cream in the car, became completely dumbfounded the moment he saw this beautiful figure.

Li Mengran was like a princess in a fairytale, she wore a pure white long skirt, her hair was combed up, and her face was painted with a little makeup. Her skin was snow-white, and her haughtiness was prominent.

While Chen Yao was in a daze, Li Mengran walked towards him with a smile.

Obviously, she was overjoyed to discover that she had stunned Chen Yao.

"Does it look good?" She spun around on the spot, making it seem even more dreamlike.

Chen Yao came back to his senses and nodded. "Yes, yes."

Li Mengran happily opened the back door of the car and sat inside.

"Let's go, my little chauffeur, to the target department store."

"What for?" Chen Yao asked with some doubt.

Li Mengran said.

"You're going to be my partner today. It's rare for you to wear jeans and a small T-shirt to a ball."

"Ball?"

Chen Yao was somewhat puzzled. "Isn't it the Treasure Auction?"

Li Mengran said: "You are right, this is indeed an Treasure Auction, but it is not too different from a banquet, especially Jiangbei, and many of the big figures of the Huangjiang Province are gathering here, all of them are not here for the auction, but for the sake of getting closer to you."

"Therefore, before the auction began, the organizers held a ball."

Hearing Li Mengran's explanation, Chen Yao started to understand, but he scratched his head and said.

"The key point is that I don't know how to dance. Furthermore, I estimate that the antiques at the auction are worth millions or tens of millions. I don't have that much money to spend. Why don't you find someone else?"

Hearing that, Li Mengran's face revealed displeasure.

"Hmph, the young masters waiting for you to invite me to the ball are at least 80 or so. You don't know what's good for you, and you don't know how I can teach you. Do you think that having the support of my grandfather would cost tens of millions? "

Of course, he knew that Li Mengran had a lot of suitors. The reason she was able to ask him to accompany her to the ball was because she wanted to express her feelings towards him. It was equivalent to telling all the young masters and mistresses in Huangjiang Province that this lady's name has already been taken care of.

Although Li Mengran's actions moved Chen Yao, he was in an even more difficult situation.

The more passionate Li Mengran was in love with him, and the wilder he became, the more Chen Yao felt that he had let Li Mengran down, especially when Li Mengran was as noble and elegant as a princess and he was just a normal commoner. It wasn't that he didn't love Li Mengran, it was because he didn't dare to love her.

He wanted to say wait for me, wait for me, North China First Man, I'll chase after you, but he did not say it.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright."

Then he drove to the department store.

Li Mengran personally selected a suit, shirt, tie, and a pair of leather shoes for Chen Yao.

It had to be said that clothes relied on a horse's saddle. With Li Mengran's help, Chen Yao, who had a pretty good foundation, had a few hints of an elite in his youth.

Looking at the figure in the mirror, Chen Yao was unable to believe that it was him.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. A week ago, he was still washing bowls and working in the restaurant to buy a bag of equipment for Susan. But in just a few days, he had become a tycoon?

He wondered how Susan would feel if he met him again.

When Chen Yao walked out of the fitting room, the sales clerk was slightly shocked. If not for Li Mengran, Chen Yao would not have been able to enter the shop with his current attire.

But when Chen Yao changed his clothes, the sales clerk was also surprised by Li Mengran's eyes. Did he find a piece of gold in the pile of stones?

A salesperson couldn't help but say.

"You two really are a perfect couple. How about I take a photo for you two?"

"Sure, sure." Li Mengran happily gave his phone to the shop assistant. Naturally, Chen Yao could not ignore Li Mengran's interest.

The two of them stood together, shoulder to shoulder, and smiled faintly. The moment the shop assistant pressed down on the shutter door, Li Mengran suddenly grabbed Chen Yao's arm tightly and kissed Chen Yao's cheek.

At that time, Chen Yao was completely confused, while Li Mengran impatiently took the phone from the shop assistant's hands, looking at the photo on the phone with a happy smile.

Chen Yao glanced at it, and coincidentally saw Li Mengran kiss his cheek, on his phone, there was a very happy smile.

Sometimes, a tiny expression was the best indicator of what was going on.

Li Mengran was very satisfied with this photo that looked like a wedding photo. He generously gave the shop assistant a thousand yuan as a tip, and then pulled Chen Yao to settle the bill.

Chen Yao was greatly surprised when he saw the clothes that couldn't even recognize the brand. When he paid the bill, it showed that he had spent seventy-eight thousand yuan. If not for the Citibank Card in his pocket, Chen Yao would have really wanted to put the clothes back.

Just as Chen Yao handed over the card, Li Mengran already passed his bank card to the cashier.

"I have money."

Chen Yao helplessly said to Li Mengran.

However, Li Mengran remained unmoved: "I know, but you won't forget. Did I say that I would raise you?"

She playfully winked at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao was instantly speechless.

"Okay, okay." She pulled Chen Yao's arm and said, "I promise you that this will be my first time. This is a gift I'm giving you, and you're not allowed to reject it. My birthday is coming up soon. When the time comes, you can give me back an even more precious birthday present."

Hearing this, Chen Yao's expression eased up a lot.

"Mm, alright then. I'll definitely give you a big gift for your birthday."

After paying the bill, Li Mengran contentedly pulled Chen Yao out of the department store. She had never been a princess by Chen Yao's side, so she was constantly chirping away like a cute sparrow.

Chen Yao deliberately drove very slowly, listening to what Li Mengran was saying, and sometimes he would nod his head in agreement.

Undeniably, he liked the feeling of being alone with Li Mengran.
