Wu Ji still had to go back to visit Huo Xiyu, so he didn't have time to eat with Yi Yue 'er.
After excusing himself, Wu Ji quickly left. Looking at his back, Yi Yue 'er pouted slightly and said,""Ah Nu, he looks like he's in a hurry. It doesn't seem like he's already prepared to sell our restaurant's Supreme Immortal Grass.”
"Yes, it's as if I suddenly need it.”Anu also frowned.
Yi Yue 'er pondered for a while and said softly,""Miss Huo? Wu Ji came from Sand City. There were nine aristocratic families in Sand City, and one of them had the surname Huo. She must be the third daughter of the Huo family in Sand City, Huo Xiyu. It was said that when the Huo family's third daughter was born, she encountered a very dangerous incident, causing her to suffer from a strange illness. Could it be that Wu Jilai sold the Supreme Immortal Grass to treat that strange illness?”
Apart from opening a restaurant, the Bright Moon Hotel was also one of the top auction houses in the country. Since the auction house had some dealings with the Nine Gold Hunting Houses in Sand City, he knew some things about them.
At this moment, his eyes could not help but flicker as he spoke. In the end, he said self-deprecatingly,"No wonder he was so close to Miss Huo.”
As she spoke, Yi Yue 'er waved her arm and went upstairs.
Wu Ji didn't know that Yi Yue 'er had already thought things through. When he returned to the Hu Clan, the dispute in the Hu Clan had already been settled. However, Old Master Hu had brought a group of people to the police station. It was a servant of the Hu family who had yet to come back to greet Huo Xiyu and Little Lian.
The servants of the Hu family made a pot of porridge for Huo Xiyu. She hadn't eaten anything since she got off the train in the morning. As soon as she woke up, the Hu family brought it over and fed Little Lian.
Huo Xiyu's illness was like this. Once it acted up, she would definitely fall asleep and her body would be burning hot. However, after that, he didn't seem to have anything to do with it.
Seeing Wu Ji come back, Huo Xiyu said,""Where did you go, you stinky scoundrel? My matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that my body is weak.”
Wu Ji glared at him and said,"Whatever it is, it's what it is. Why are you showing off?" Although you look very good when you wake up, if you do it a few more times, your brain will burn into a fool sooner or later.”
"Yes, yes, yes. The doctor at home said the same thing. But now, it's rare for Miss to have a relapse once a year. Today, it happened twice in one day. It scared me to death!”Little Lian said straightforwardly.
"Little Lian, don't talk nonsense. If I say it has nothing to do with the bad guy, then it has nothing to do with him.”Huo Xiyu grumbled. Xiao Lian giggled and said,""Miss, you really are. You were clearly worried to death about Young Master Wu, yet you still kept calling him a stinky bad guy. I'm sick of hearing it.”
Huo Xiyu's face immediately turned red. Wu Ji also said,""It doesn't matter what you shout. Anyway, I feel that you're a bad guy. Little Lian, you guys go out first. I have something to talk to Xiyu about.”
Little Lian and the servants of the Hu family walked out. Huo Xiyu pouted and said,""Scoundrel, are you going to scold me? Let me tell you, if you dare to scold me, I'll immediately cut ties with you!”
Wu Ji was amused by Huo Xiyu's words and said,""Come on, you're breaking up with me. I want to talk to you about the Supreme Immortal Grass, not scold you.”
"Little Lian, this girl, has indeed told you everything. But don't worry about this matter. My family has already given me enough money to go to Beiping to buy medicine from the Bright Moon Hotel.”Huo Xiyu smiled.
"Then do you know that Mingyue Hotel never sells medicine? I just went to the Bright Moon Hotel and they told me that there are only two ways to obtain it. First, the person must die in the restaurant and be buried with the medicine. Second, auction. The highest bidder wins." Wu Ji said.
" I know." Huo Xiyu nodded." My family gave me 200,000 yuan. It should be enough."”
"It's not enough. I've asked around, but 500,000 yuan isn't enough. The Hunts should know something about the Bright Moon Hotel. How could they let you bring so little money over?”Wu Ji said seriously.
No matter how much money was spent, it had to be relative. For example, Wu Ji had felt very rich when he had bid for something that cost 100,000 yuan. However, it was completely insufficient for a top-grade medicinal herb like the Supreme Immortal Grass that could only be seen once in a thousand years.
Huo Xiyu was shocked beyond words, but she smiled bitterly and said,"200,000 is not a small amount. The family has spent a lot of money on me over the years. Perhaps auntie is just trying her best to let me see if it can work. If it can't, there's nothing I can do.”
Wu Ji nodded slightly. After all, the entire Huo family couldn't possibly revolve around Huo Xiyu alone. He subconsciously took out the auction catalog given by Yi Yue 'er and flipped through them one by one. They were all rare and valuable cultural relics.
Almost every one of these cultural relics was more collectible than the Eight Neonate Carrying the Dragon Coffin. The latter was just a coffin, and it was something that did not exist in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era.
Therefore, Wu Ji didn't feel anything. However, when he flipped through something, his gaze couldn't help but freeze.
" Unknown ancient scroll: Unknown age, obtained by Heavenly Official Qiu accidentally. This ancient scroll was very likely to be related to an ancient tomb that had never been explored by anyone before, the Great Tomb!”
When Wu Ji saw this, his consciousness had already entered the system. The Tiger Tally was now lying quietly. This was something he had taken from the Eight Neonate Dragon Coffin, but now that another sheepskin scroll had appeared, how could Wu Ji not care?
This was the finale item of the first round of the auction three days later, so Wu Ji knew that it would definitely be expensive. However, he had to calculate a score, and that was that he had to get a greater return before he would take it.
Thinking of this, Wu Ji said to Huo Xiyu,"Xiyu, I need to make a phone call. Wait for me here. Also, remember, even if the Hunts can't help you, I'm still here. Don't let your imagination run wild, understand?”
Although Huo Xiyu had only helped Wu Ji to send a message, she had risked her life to deliver the message. Since he owed Huo Xiyu a favor, how could Wu Ji watch her die because of that strange disease?
Wu Ji walked out before Huo Xiyu could say anything. After asking the Hu family for a phone, Wu Ji directly dialed the theater of the second-in-command of Sand City.
Hearing Wu Ji's call, the Second Head laughed out loud and said,""Brother Wu Ji, you did a great job! In broad daylight, he chopped off the head of a Japanese kid with his Ghost Head Blade. It felt so good…so good!”
"I didn't expect the news from the second head to be so fast. However, I didn't look for you today to tell you about this matter. I want to ask you, can you help me sell a batch of antiques? I want to see the money in three days."
The Bright Moon Hotel was only responsible for the auction and not the purchase. Otherwise, Wu Ji wouldn't have contacted the second-in-command in Sand City. "Three days is no problem, but how much do you want?" It's not a lot, I'll just take it from here.”
"I don't think you can get it either. It's best to contact those nouveau riche. I have a jade brush from Emperor Kangxi, a set of golden bowls used by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, and a painting by Wu Daozi…”
