Chapter 723 - Treasure City
Jiang Moliang looked very cold. Her pretty eyes were extremely sharp.
However, Jiang Chen was amused by her reaction.
“Why do you have to make things so difficult for both of us?” she said.
“Should I kill myself then?” Jiang Chen asked.
Jiang Moliang didn’t speak, but she apparently agreed with Jiang Chen’s self-mockery.
You will die anyway. That was what was on her mind, but she certainly wouldn’t speak it out.
“If you think I’m a bad person, listen up. I am a bad person, and I am your Jiangs’ nightmare,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone.
Even though Jiang Chen had reached the other end of the street, he didn’t see anything he was interested in.
The fragments of the bronze cauldron didn’t react, either.
Jiang Chen was kind of disappointed, although he knew the odd to find what he wanted just by coincidence was quite small.
At the thought of the bronze cauldron, he involuntarily thought of Tang Shiya.
It was from her that he got the second bronze fragment.
“Mister, are you interested in some good stuff?”
Jiang Chen was about to leave the street, when a sneaky man came up to him to speak to him in a tempting tone.
“What good stuff?” Jiang Chen said curiously.
“You won’t be disappointed, mister.”
“Are you sure? Why are you so sure?”
Jiang Chen thought this guy had really talked big. The guy didn’t even know what he was looking for, but he had the nerve to tell Jiang Chen the latter wouldn’t be disappointed.
“You won’t be disappointed, mister.”
However, under his skeptical gaze, this guy guaranteed him again.
“What’s the stuff?” Jiang Chen asked again.
“You’ll know if you go with me.” The man smiled, unwilling to tell him more.
“You see her?”
Patting this guy’s shoulder, Jiang Chen pointed at Jiang Moliang with her arms crossed on chest. The guy stopped smiling.
“She is in her period, so she is in a very bad mood. If I find you’re playing tricks with me, she will attack you with her sword,” Jiang Chen said.
“She is Celestial Venerable?”
The man was given a good scare when he had recognized Jiang Moliang’s state. He asked prudently, “Mister, may I ask what relation is between you?”
“Does it matter to you? She is my attendant,” Jiang Chen said.
His answer set the man’s mind at ease. He said, “Don’t worry, mister. If you are disappointed, just let her cut my head off.”
“Show me the way.”
Jiang Chen decided to see what he had. He wondered what made the guy so confident.
“This way!”
The man walked ahead briskly.
Soon, he took Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang into a narrow alley.
Jiang Chen almost thought he would rob them, but he really didn’t look like a robber.
Then, the man knocked on the door deepest in the alley. Three heavy knocks and three light knocks.
After his knocks, the door was open from inside, but it wasn’t completely open. There was only a small opening, through which one could edge his way.
“Mister, this way.” The man waved at him.
Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang glanced at each other. The latter didn’t know what was happening, either.
Then, the two walked into the door. After climbing up a long stair, the view before them suddenly changed.
Jiang Chen wondered what good stuff such a shabby place could have.
However, after walking through a curtain, he found himself in a big room.
The decoration in the room was completely different from the outside. It was so gorgeous that the only word Jiang Chen could find to describe it was luxurious.
And there were many separate rooms. Jiang Chen and Jiang Moliang were in one of them.
“The last guest has arrived. Let’s start today’s auction then.” A gorgeously dressed woman appeared at the center of the room.
Jiang Moliang realized something. She said in anger, “You wanna buy this with the Jiangs’ money?!”
“What do I wanna buy?” Jiang Chen was confused. He really didn’t know what had happened.
