Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 109: Indirect hints from veteran actors
On the other side, as if he had guessed the doubts in Ya Fei's heart at the moment, Liu Xi smiled slightly and stroked the ring with his fingers. The next moment, a small and exquisite jade box appeared between his hands.

"Yes, the thing I am delivering this time is exactly a Qi Gathering Powder."

Placing the jade box on the long table, he paused for a moment, glanced at Ya Fei, whose beautiful eyes were fixed on the jade box, and continued with one hand on the lid of the jade box:
"But Master Gu Ni hasn't arrived yet, so we should wait until he arrives to open this Qi Gathering Powder and verify its quality and authenticity."

Hearing this, Ya Fei was slightly stunned. She felt that the person in front of her seemed to be a different person from what she remembered. Then she smiled and said:
"Mr. Liu Xi is very thoughtful, but I don't know when you and that little guy Xiao Yan will..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Xi waved his hand and interrupted her with a chuckle:

"Ms. Yafei, when did I ever say that this item was given to me by Xiao Yan?"

"No? Then how could it be..."

Yafei opened her beautiful eyes slightly, and her sexy cherry lips opened and closed, showing a little surprise.

The only one in Wutan City who had promised them the Qi Gathering Powder at the auction was Xiao Yan.

Who else could it be but him?
"Haha, Miss Yafei, don't you think about it? Is it possible for a teenager like Xiao Yan to take out such a precious thing as the Qi Gathering Powder? This thing was given to me by an old gentleman, who said that this was the last one he promised you."

Liu Xi said slowly.

"Old sir?"

After listening to what Liu Xi said, Ya Fei gradually came to her senses.

As it says, isn't that the case "in fact"?

In the entire Mitel Auction House, apart from Ya Fei, the only one who knew that the person who showed up at the auction house to trade was actually Xiao Yan. Everyone else, including the person in charge, Master Gu Ni, only knew that it was an old gentleman with a very mysterious identity who reached an agreement with the auction house.

All I know is that the old gentleman favors the Xiao family.

Other than that, I have no idea.

"Yes, he is indeed an old gentleman. Just now... I remembered it wrong." There was a gleam in her beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of strangeness in Ya Fei's eyes as she looked at Liu Xi.

Tap... tap...

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, the middle-aged man walked in accompanied by a gray-haired old man in green clothes.

"Master Gu Ni."

Seeing the old man in blue come in, Liu Xi and Ya Fei both stood up slightly and greeted him.

The first reason is that he is highly respected and his age is there, and the other reason is that he is actually a second-grade alchemist.

Although in Liu Xi's opinion, at the age of sixty or seventy, he is still hovering at the level of a second-grade alchemist. It is estimated that this will be the case for his entire life. It will be difficult for him to make a breakthrough and become a third-grade alchemist.

As soon as he entered the treasure appraisal room, Gu Ni first looked at Ya Fei and Liu Xi respectively, and his old eyes fixed on the jade box on the long table.

"You go out first. Master Gu Ni and I are here." Ya Fei said to the middle-aged man.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man nodded. He had some self-awareness and knew that in the current situation, even if he wanted to get involved, he did not have the qualifications.

With a click, the door of the treasure appraisal room was closed from the outside by the middle-aged man who was tactful enough.

Three people are seated indoors.

After spending some time, Yafei whispered a few words to Gu Ni and explained the situation.

After hearing this, Gu Ni nodded slightly, looked at Liu Xi and said:

"Mr. Liu Xi, could you please tell us about your relationship with that old gentleman?"

really……

Hearing this, Liu Xi crossed his fingers under the table and said with a smile:
"Master Gu Ni, I remember that your Miter Auction House doesn't seem to have this kind of rule of asking questions to the end, right?"

There was a hint of resistance and displeasure in his tone, which was self-evident.

"Haha, there is no such rule. I am sorry for being nosy." Stroking his gray beard, Gu Ni remained calm and continued, "Mr. Liu Xi, I wonder if I can take out this Qi Gathering Powder and identify it now?"

In response, Liu Xi kept smiling, spread his hands and said:
"Please do as you please. I am only responsible for delivering the things to you."

Gu Ni smiled upon seeing this, and without saying anything else, he stood up and opened the jade box which seemed to have a thin layer of fluorescence attached to the surface.

In the jade box, there is a pill the size of a longan. The pill is round and shiny, and it constantly emits a refreshing fragrance into the surrounding air, making people feel comfortable when they smell it.

After staring at the Qi Gathering Powder for a long time, Gu Ni stroked his beard and said with emotion: "The old gentleman is indeed the one who can refine Qi Gathering Powder of this quality. It's a pity that the identity of such a person is still unknown..."

When Ya Fei heard these words, she pursed her sexy lips and remained silent.

And Liu Xi, hearing the hidden meaning in Gu Ni's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. This old guy was really like Xiao Yan said, he was about to become a spirit.

Every word he said contained an indirect criticism of him.

Lifting his eyelids slightly, he glanced at Ya Fei, who had spoken less frequently since Gu Ni came. Liu Xi secretly complained in his heart, this woman is not an easy person to deal with...

To be honest, he knows a lot, but how can he pretend to be so knowledgeable now?

It turns out that women are born actors...

After saying this, Gu Ni closed the jade box to prevent the medicine from leaking out. During this process, he glanced at Liu Xi out of the corner of his eyes, but saw that he remained indifferent, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Is this Liu Xi's performance?

I always feel like something is not quite right.

"This Qi Gathering Powder has been confirmed to be correct. Mr. Liu Xi, please go back and tell the old gentleman that everything he promised us has been fulfilled. We at Mitel Auction House are very much looking forward to our next cooperation with him."

As he spoke, Gu Ni stared at Liu Xi with his old eyes, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face.

However, in the face of Gu Ni's words, Liu Xi did not respond for a while.

The main thing is that it’s hard to respond to this conversation!
Could you please ask him to "go back" and tell that old gentleman?
Everyone knows that he is living in the Xiao family now.

However, whether this sentence is followed or not, Gu Ni can still deduce some useful information.

Finally, he said helplessly:

"Master Gu Ni, I can only say that I will try my best to convey your message. The old gentleman has probably left Wutan City by now."

"Leaving Wutan City?" Gu Ni looked regretful when he heard that. He didn't know how much of it was true or not. He probably didn't believe what he said at all.

"Ah, that's right. In a small place like Wutan City, a person like the old gentleman will definitely not be able to stay..."

Gu Ni sighed.

Seeing this, Liu Xi felt that he could no longer hold back his face, so he reached out and touched the tip of his nose, blocking his face and vision.

He was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing out loud!
Speaking of which, this old guy is really good at acting, isn’t he?
Are you here to be a veteran actor?
