C118 Goodbye to Wen Ya (1/2)
Not letting Tang Tiebing follow him, Qin Shaojie proceeded to Lingyun City. It had already been close to a year since he had last appeared there.
It was fortunate that other than the sound of the voices becoming louder, there were no other changes to the Lingyun City.
Here, it was still an extraordinary auction, and the items being traded were even more bizarre, it was a pity that the current Qin Shaojie was not too interested in these. However, when he once again appeared in Lingyun City, Qin Shaojie could still hear some news about him. It seemed that back then, when the auction had erupted, the news of him getting into a bad relationship with the crown prince was still widely spread.
Narrowing his eyes, Qin Shaojie followed his memories and entered a courtyard in the northeast corner of the Lingyun City. Very few people knew that Wen Ya had bought this courtyard from an exceptional auctioneer, and other than herself, very few people would appear in this courtyard.
Back then, before he had escaped the Lingyun City, Wen Ya had told him before that if he were to return to the Lingyun City again, he would directly enter the courtyard if there was anything he could help with.
Originally, he didn't want to bother Wen Ya at this time. After all, if the thing from back then were to fall, it would be a fatal blow to both Wen Ya and the Exquisite Auction House. However, the situation now was such that he had no choice but to find Wen Ya.
Walking to the gate outside the courtyard, Qin Shaojie rang the doorbell. It was a hunchbacked old man, his eyes were muddled, and there was not a hint of emotion in them. He staggered forward, as if every step he took exhausted all of his energy. Only her sparse, neat, and white hair gave people a good impression of her.
Looking at the old man's body, Qin Shaojie's heart sank. This old man looked too ordinary, perhaps others would just treat him as a gatekeeping old man, but with Qin Shaojie's sharp eyes, it was as though he was one with space. It looked like he was walking on the ground, but in reality, his feet were not touching the ground at all, because he did not feel any dust or dirt.
This was an expert, and an expert with extraordinary strength at that. It was probably another Earth Origin Stage.
Thinking to this point, Qin Shaojie also sucked in a deep breath. He had long heard that Lingyun City was one of the few first-rate cities within the Great Yan Dynasty, and it was simply unjustifiable for one to not have Earth Origin Stage. But what surprised Qin Shaojie was that this elder was actually willing to stay and watch the door.
However, Qin Shaojie was also an intelligent person, if the other party thought that he was only treating him as an ordinary old man, then why did he need to be exposed? He took out the pendant that Wen Ya had given him. The exquisite pendant was not big, but the center of the round pendant had a word.
This was a personal item to Wen Ya. Back then, even she most likely did not understand why so many keepsakes were given to Qin Shaojie.
Come in!
Seeing the item that Qin Shaojie took out, the old man's cloudy eyes revealed signs of life, he then turned and allowed Qin Shaojie to enter.
The courtyard was not large, but the arrangement was rather exquisite. In the middle was a small garden, and there were a few houses scattered around it. It was clear that this place was not suitable for a large gathering. After all, there was a distance of some distance between this place and the center of Lingyun City City, so it could be considered to be rather quiet.
After Qin Shaojie made a pot of tea, the elder did not appear again and allowed Qin Shaojie to sit inside.
But Qin Shaojie was not in a rush, he leisurely drank his tea, as for the old man's temper, he did not care. If he had a Earthly Yuan Stage expert accompany him here and chat, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Furthermore, Qin Shaojie did not specially want to notify Wen Ya of her appearance. After all, if he did not guess wrongly, that old man must have some special method to notify Wen Ya of visitors.
”I thought we didn't have the chance to see each other since we parted last time, I didn't expect a little brat like you to come again.”
As the night fell, a somewhat enchanting familiar voice came from behind Qin Shaojie. Hearing that, Qin Shaojie also put down the teacup in his hand, and turned to look at the Liangliang guy, a smile plastered across his face.
It had to be said that a year had passed, and time had not left the slightest of scars on Wen Ya's face. That breathtaking scene was something that even Qin Shaojie himself was unable to wipe away with his heart.
This woman was one of the top beauties in both his past and present lives.
However, there was a trace of weariness that flashed in the depths of his eyes. It was obvious that Wen Ya must be very busy during this period. However, they had long since heard that the Exquisite Auction House was basically handing some matters over to Wen Ya to settle, so naturally, there were a lot of things that entangled one's body. Her messy hair fluttered in the wind, it was obvious that Wen Ya had rushed over after hearing that he was waiting for him.
At the very least, the edges of his five senses were much more distinct than before, and had grown a lot taller than before. The most important thing was that when he was near Wen Ya, his breathing carried a trace of an extremely strong sense of male hormone.
This guy seemed to have grown up.
”If you have nothing to say, don't come to the Three Treasures Palace. Say it, what is it?”
