Chapter 65: The Journey to the Magic City, the Other Shore
Chapter 65: The Journey to the Magic City, the Other Shore
a few days later.
Xu Feng finally returned home.
But he didn't expect that there was an uninvited guest waiting for him at home.
Xu Feng’s home.
Xu Feng, in his pajamas, was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing.
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Feng finished his training and looked towards the door: "Come in."
Fatty and Lao Hu pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Xu Feng's look, they both laughed: "Little Master Xu, you really don't slack off at all. You practice whenever you have free time. At least give us some chance to catch up."
Xu Feng asked them to sit wherever they wanted, and then asked, "How are you guys? Have you treated all your injuries?"
Lao Hu: "My injuries are just superficial, it's nothing serious. Fatty's wrist is injured, so he needs to rest for a few more days."
Xu Feng glanced at the fat man's wrist: "Are you okay?"
The fat man immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Xu, it's okay."
Xu Feng immediately nodded with relief.
The fat man took out a luggage bag mysteriously and said, "Master Xu, I brought all the things for you."
Xu Feng chuckled: "Why rush? Just put it there first."
Old Hu laughed: "Young Master Xu, you didn't see that the things were kept in the hotel these days, and Fatty didn't go out of the main door or the back door. He even held the bag while eating and sleeping, for fear that something might go wrong."
Xu Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Fatty, you really don't need to worry about that."
The fat man curled his lips: "Humph, who am I so worried about every day? Only you two are so careless!"
"The treasures in here are priceless. If word gets out, the three of us will probably become the focus of the whole world."
Xu Feng raised his hand to interrupt the fat man and signaled him not to speak for the time being.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
It’s Xu Feng’s mother.
"There's a Mr. Bai outside, he said he's here to visit you."
"Mr. Bai?!"
Xu Feng was suddenly filled with doubts.
He remembered that he had some impression of this Mr. Bai. It seemed that he was the one who spent 10 billion to buy his statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, at the Crescent Hotel auction.
but……
Why did he come to see me?
Is there something wrong with the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth?
Asking Lao Hu and Fatty to wait for him in the room, Xu Feng went downstairs with doubts.
I saw Mr. Bai, wearing a white Zhongshan suit, sitting in the living room downstairs drinking tea.
Seeing Xu Feng, Mr. Bai stood up with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao Xu, long time no see."
Xu Feng quickly stepped forward and shook hands with him: "Mr. Bai, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."
There was a brief exchange of pleasantries.
After both of them sat down, Xu Feng took the opportunity to look at Mr. Bai.
Dressed in an elegant white Zhongshan suit, with eyes full of wisdom and a smile as warm as spring breeze, Mr. Bai looks more like a professor than a businessman.
"I wonder if Mr. Bai is visiting you today for something?"
"Haha, I came here specially to visit Mr. Xiao Xu. I heard that Mr. Xiao Xu was injured in an accident while he was out, so I came here specially to visit Mr. Xiao Xu. Now I see that Mr. Xiao Xu is in high spirits, so he must have recovered from his rest, which is good news."
Come to visit me?
Do you think I believe it or not?
It’s not that Xu Feng is unpopular. During the few days when he was injured, many people came to visit him, which shows that he is still quite popular.
The problem is that he and Mr. Bai are not related and have only met once.
I was injured and made a special trip to visit you.
Even a three-year-old would find it weird, right?!
Despite this, Xu Feng still said with gratitude: "Thank you so much, Mr. Bai, for your concern."
Mr. Bai: "Due to health reasons, I have not been able to have children for many years. Thanks to Mr. Xiao Xu's statue of Guanyin, I was able to fulfill my wish. Mr. Xiao Xu is like a second parent to me. He is very kind to me."
Xu Feng was a little shocked when he heard this. This Mr. Bai was too talkative.
He said quickly, "Mr. Bai, please don't say that. We are also doing business, and it is a win-win for all. Please don't say anything about gratitude or not. Besides, Mr. Bai, you are almost the same age as my father. It is really too embarrassing for me to say that. I really can't bear it."
The two of them exchanged words of thanks.
"Actually, I came here this time to ask for a favor."
"Uh"
The real show is about to begin, Xu Feng said secretly.
"Mr. Bai, please speak."
"It's like this, Mr. Xiao Xu. My family lives in Shanghai. My wife is also a Buddhist. After she got the statue of Guanyin, she liked it very much. Unfortunately, she can't take a plane for personal reasons, so she had to ask me to invite Mr. Xiao Xu to Shanghai for a few days. She wants to express her gratitude to Mr. Xiao Xu in person."
"Really, no need, Mr. Bai!"
Xu Feng declined politely, then said jokingly, "Mr. Bai, you are so enthusiastic, don't you want me to return the money for the Guanyin statue to you? Let me make it clear first, I don't have any money, all the money was withheld by the Crescent Hotel."
Mr. Bai burst into laughter.
Then he asked curiously, "Does Mr. Xu owe the Crescent Hotel a lot of money?"
Xu Feng said calmly, "Yes, Mr. Bai also knows that I bought a few things at the Xinyue Hotel that day and owed the hotel a lot of money. Your 1 billion yuan was all deducted by the hotel, and even so I still owe more than 10 billion yuan."
"That's perfect. This time, besides inviting Mr. Xu to visit my humble abode, I also want to ask Mr. Xu for help with something."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"I personally love collecting antiques. To put it bluntly, I love collecting magical objects. However, I don't have enough experience and vision, so I am often cheated. I have spent a lot of money, but I have not bought any decent magical objects so far."
Mr. Bai told the story slowly.
"Later, by chance, I learned about the Crescent Hotel and went there to buy a few treasures that I could pass down to my family."
"In fact, I have always heard of Mr. Xu's reputation of Golden Eyes. To be honest, I have never really believed it. There are not so many young talents in the world, let alone treasure appraisal, which is a job that requires eyesight, experience, and knowledge."
"It wasn't until after the Crescent Hotel that I realized how wrong I was."
"So I sincerely want to make friends with an authority like Mr. Xiao Xu. I hope Mr. Xiao Xu won't misunderstand me."
Xu Feng suddenly realized that this was the case.
Mr. Bai added, "The Magic City will hold an unprecedented treasure appraisal conference soon, so I would like to invite Mr. Xiao Xu to come and see if we can find any treasures."
"A treasure appraisal conference?"
Xu Feng was puzzled.
"Oh, it's like this. A few days ago, a shipwreck salvage company salvaged a shipwreck from decades ago in the waters near the Magic City. The ship was full of antiques and cultural relics."
"This salvage company transported all the salvaged antiques back to the Magic City."
"In order to deal with these antiques, they decided to hold a treasure appraisal conference in Shanghai, inviting nationally renowned experts in antiques to appraise the treasures on site, and then auction them on site."
"The treasure appraisal conference will last for three days, and it is expected that thousands of treasures will be appraised and auctioned." Xu Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true!"
Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Okay, I'll go to the Magic City!"
Xu Feng saw Mr. Bai off and returned to the room.
Then he told Lao Hu and Fatty about it.
"Good thing!"
The fat man was immediately surprised and said, "Aren't there a lot of antiques and treasures at the treasure appraisal conference? When it comes to treasure appraisal, who can compare with you, Little Xu? If we go, isn't it the same as picking up money?"
Xu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not as easy as you say. Do you really think everyone else is a vegetarian?"
After a pause, he continued, "But it is undeniable that when it comes to appraising treasures, I am second to none. No one dares to claim to be first."
After saying this, he and the fat man both burst into laughter.
Old Hu was also shaking his head and laughing.
After a while of joking, let’s get back to business.
Lao Hu and Fatty both support going to Shanghai. Even if it’s not for finding bargains, it’s good to see the world.
The fat man even searched for relevant news on the Internet.
The three of them were excited to learn that thousands of treasures were salvaged from the sunken ship. Maybe there was a magical object among them.
"It's settled then. I'll reply to Mr. Bai later and book a flight for tomorrow."
Xu Feng took out his cell phone and prepared to send a message to Mr. Bai.
Old Hu suddenly asked, "Master Xu, have you told Yingzi?"
"what?"
Xu Feng looked up in confusion.
When he saw Lao Hu's meaningful expression, he suddenly reacted.
Yes, Yingzi!
He remembered that he seemed to have promised Yingzi that he would accompany her back to the village after returning from the desert.
This makes me forget the important matter.
Now going out again...
I can only say one thing: Sister Yingzi, I’m sorry!
……
Magic City Railway Station.
Three low-key black cars were parked at the exit. Mr. Bai, who seemed to always be wearing a white Zhongshan suit, was sitting in the middle car, holding a cane with a green jade on the top with his hands and closing his eyes to rest.
Next to him sat a short-haired beauty with a sexy outfit, a hot body and fiery red lips.
She gives people a very capable feeling.
At the same time, it is also very dangerous, like a wild rose with thorns.
She turned her head to look at the airport exit and suddenly said, "Father, is this person really as powerful as you said?"
Mr. Bai smiled faintly: "Let him try and know whether it is powerful or not."
Fatty and Lao Hu were pushing the luggage.
Xu Feng and Yingzi followed behind.
Just walked to the exit.
They saw Mr. Bai standing on the side of the road with a smile on his face, obviously waiting for them.
"Mr. Bai?!"
Xu Feng stepped forward with some surprise.
"You are so kind that you even came to pick me up in person. How can I be worthy of that?"
Mr. Bai shook his hand warmly.
"Haha, Brother Xu, it's only natural for you to come to the Magic City."
"I still have some foundation in the Magic City, and I can barely be considered a local snake. I should do my best to be a good host. Otherwise, if word gets out that I treat my guests badly, how can I, Gu, gain a foothold in the Magic City in the future?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over Lao Hu and the others.
He had met Lao Hu and Fatty and knew them. He nodded slightly as a greeting.
His eyes fell on Yingzi, especially when he saw Yingzi hugging Xu Feng's arm intimately, he laughed out loud: "Could this beautiful lady be Brother Xu's girlfriend?"
Xu Fenggan smiled and nodded.
"Let's not stand here and talk. Let's go to the hotel first. I've already made arrangements to welcome Brother Xu."
"it is good."
When getting in the car.
He inadvertently glanced at the sexy beauty behind Mr. Bai.
The other person's sexy and bold outfit and seductive and special temperament attracted his attention.
"Mr. Bai, who is she?"
Xu Feng asked casually.
"Oh, look at me, I forgot to introduce you."
Mr. Bai smiled and replied, “She is my adopted daughter, her name is Bi’an.
"the other side?"
Xu Feng was stunned. What kind of name is this?
“It’s a very special name!”
Xu Feng praised with a smile.
"You are both young people, you can visit each other more often in the future. And during your stay in the Magic City, she will be in charge of your schedule. If you need anything, you can tell her."
After he finished speaking, the beautiful woman named Bi'an smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, Mr. Xu, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Xu Feng shook hands with her: "It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Somehow, he felt a creepy feeling when he shook hands with this beautiful woman.
That feeling...
It was just like how he felt when he saw the snake demon's eyes when the stone statue cracked on the sixth floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
Very similar.
Then he shook his head slightly and put this outrageous feeling behind him.
That's a snake demon!
The one in front of me is a normal woman.
How can they be compared?
