”No need for thanks. Sitting here today can be considered as our fate. I wonder if you are willing to listen to an old man like me nagging you.”

Although Jiang Liu'er wasn't too interested in the long history of Murong Batian, maybe the stories he was going to tell her would contain some information about the Devil Sect. Furthermore, he didn't have anything to do right now, so it wasn't a big deal to listen to them.

”Of course, everyone wants to hear about the glorious past that Mister Murong has passed through. I am no exception.”

He knew that Jiang Liu'er's words contained a hint of flattery, but that did not affect him at all. At his age, this old man would inevitably have something that he had been thinking to someone for many years, and at this moment, even if he did not want to say it, he had to say it. He did not want to end up in the same situation as today, and if he really did close his eyes and let it pass, then no one would know about the secrets that he had hidden.

”I'm old now, and I always think of those days when I fought so desperately for the future, empty-handed. The ambition I had back then was truly ridiculous now that I think about it.”

Jiang Liu'er nodded. She suddenly felt that what Murong Batian said was a bit similar to what he said. Luckily, he had an A.

”However, if it wasn't for those young and arrogant days, how would Murong Batian be here today? Speaking of which, I started my own business from scratch. I don't care about black and white, as long as it's money, I will do it myself.”

”Mr. Murong, what I've heard today are things that gossip magazines dream about. I won't be silenced just because I know too much. Haha …”

Of course, Jiang Liu'er knew that it was because there was no son at the head of the bed that Murong Batian wanted to tell him all these things. After making a joke, he noticed that Murong Batian was also smiling, and the tense atmosphere had completely disappeared.

Murong Batian opened his heart and spoke slowly, ”The reason they want to know about this is because they don't want me to live in such a glorious life. In this world, no one can see such a glorious life, right?”

Jiang Liu'er nodded her head. He couldn't agree with Murong Batian's words more than anyone else. In this current society, everyone wanted to pull a good person away.

Actually, when I was young, I was only selling pirated pages. All my friends from my early years knew about this news, so I think you don't want to hear about it. I think you should be more concerned about why I would be interested in antiques.

”Yes, indeed. What does Mister Murong say about business? I guess you only care about the value of antiques, right?”

Jiang Liu'er said this directly. He believed that the current Murong Batian wouldn't think that he was fighting evenly with someone else.

Indeed, Murong Batian snorted and smiled helplessly, ”I am a cunning fox in the eyes of others. A fox, in other words, is indeed a smart animal.”

”Everyone knows that you're smart. What did Bai Jin say?”

In my eyes, these antiques are of course the most important to me. Back then, I was only able to come into contact with them by chance, and suddenly found out that the value of these things are very attractive. ”Lu Sheng smiled.”

Of course, Jiang Liu`er knew that for things like antiques, when you played well, their value was indeed attractive and could make you rich overnight. However, there were also examples of things like antiques, where you lose all your family members, and you could even say that antiques were a double-edged sword.

Murong Batian had started from scratch and had only gotten a little better. He had focused his attention on the antiques, and every move he made was just right, causing his family to get more and more rich. On the surface, all of this seemed reasonable and not suspicious in the slightest, but …

”However, the reason why I was able to double the price of my antiques with each bid is because there is a person beside me, Jiang Liu`er. Do you understand what I mean?”

Jiang Liu'er looked at Murong Batian and finally understood the real reason why he wanted to chat with her. It seemed that he was right, the things Murong Batian wanted to talk about did have something to do with the Devil Sect.
