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

Chapter 111 Taking Advantage of the Situation

Before coming, Liu Xi had originally planned to just let out a little "tip" and bring up the excuse that "the old gentleman had some connection with his teacher" to shut Gu Ni's mouth and that would be the end of the matter.

But after arriving, he found that Guni was particularly difficult to deal with, so he changed his mind.

It's already like this even before the secret is revealed. If it is revealed, won't they take advantage of every opportunity?
By then, don't let him find out some of Xiao Yan's secrets.

If this is the case, not only will he not be able to earn any favors from Xiao Yan, but he might even lose all the extra money.

So, he acted tough and resistant from the beginning, leaving Gu Ni with no place to wield his energy.

……

At the table, Gu Ni sighed for a long time, and seeing that Liu Xi was still unshakable, he finally gave up and stopped talking about the old gentleman in every sentence.

"Haha, Master Gu Ni, Miss Ya Fei, I have a list of medicinal herbs here, which was also handed to me by that old gentleman. As you know, the old gentleman in Wutan City favors the young man Xiao Yan from the Xiao family. The herbs on this list are what he prepared for Xiao Yan. The two of you can see if these herbs can be found at the auction house..."

Liu Xi smiled and took out the list of medicinal materials that Xiao Yan had given him in the villa from his storage ring and gave it to Ya Fei and Gu Ni for them to circulate.

After a moment, Gu Ni put down the list and nodded slightly to Ya Fei, then took the jade box containing the Qi Gathering Powder and put it into his ring, then stood up and said to Liu Xi:
"All the herbs listed above are available at the auction house, but some of them are relatively rare. And since the old gentleman ordered this, we must be careful to prevent the people below from making mistakes. I will personally prepare the herbs needed."

Seeing this, Liu Xi stood up, clasped his fists slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Guni."

Gu Ni smiled back, waved his hand, and said:
"a piece of cake!"

After he finished speaking, he moved, and when he was about to walk out of the treasure appraisal room, he turned his back to Liu Xiwei and secretly winked at Ya Fei.

Yafei was stunned.

Then she realized that he had guessed from the list of medicinal materials that the old man had not left Wutan City, so she used some tricks to get some information out of Liu Xi.

After understanding what he meant, Ya Fei felt a little helpless, but on the surface she nodded her head slightly.

She thought about how the "old gentleman" had come to the auction house to trade with them several times in person, wearing only a black robe that blocked his vision. Even though Gu Ni had some little thoughts in front of him, after "hitting a wall" once, she never put them into practice again and dared not test them.

Instead, he warned her not to try to be clever in front of the "old gentleman", as if she was very taboo about it.

But now, the old gentleman didn't come and replaced it with a willow mat. Can't he hold back anymore?

Do you think Liu Xi is easy to deal with?
Thinking back to Liu Xi's words, actions, responses and performances since he entered the treasure appraisal room, Ya Fei secretly shook her head in her heart. She always felt that the Liu Xi of today was a world apart from the "dissolute" and brainless guy before.

It's just...not like the same person.

When a man has been away for three days, one should look at him with new eyes?

She couldn't help but think of this old saying.

"Mr. Liu Xi, there are many kinds of herbs on the list. It may take a long time to prepare them. Please wait patiently. By the way, do you need anything to drink? I'll ask the maid to prepare it."

Ya Fei gracefully placed her hands on the thighs that so many men wanted to touch, which were only separated by a thin layer of cheongsam fabric. She blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"What would you like to drink? A glass of plain water, then."

When asked by Ya Fei, Liu Xi inexplicably felt that he was indeed a little "dry in the mouth". When did it start?

But it is unknown...

The handover of the Qi Gathering Powder had been completed, so Gu Ni did not close the door of the treasure appraisal room when he left.

After all, due to some considerations, his temporary departure left only the notorious Liu Xi and Ya Fei from the headquarters alone in the room.

By then, there might be some unexpected events...

clap clap!

Snapped!
Ya Fei clapped her hands three times, and the sound spread outside the room. The middle-aged man who had been there before walked in from outside the door after hearing the sound.

"Go to the back hall and call Zhen'er over, and ask her to prepare some tea and snacks." Ya Fei glanced at the middle-aged man and instructed.

The treasure appraisal room is a place for appraising the value of items, not a special reception room, so refreshments are usually not provided.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded in agreement, turned around and went out to run errands again.

It was because he didn't have enough rank and status in the auction house, so he couldn't be on stage. Usually, when distinguished guests came, or when important items needed to be handed over, it would not be his turn.

But there is no way around it. The Mittel Auction House was named "Mittel" by the Mittel family, and the meaning of this is clear.

Although he also values ​​the qualifications and abilities of his subordinates, Mittel needs to maintain absolute control over both the auction house at the headquarters and the branches established in major cities across the empire.

It is very difficult for an outsider to get a position as the head of such a branch.

If it's at headquarters, don't even think about it.

On the other side, Liu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Ya Fei's words.

Zhen'er?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Perhaps because the impression was not very deep, Liu Xi thought about it but could not recall it.

"Hehe, Miss Yafei, I want to ask, among the items sold directly at your auction house recently, are there any weapons and long swords of good quality?"

At this point, Liu Xi simply asked what the reason was for his coming here.

Of course, when he asked this question, he was very casual, as if he just mentioned it casually, as if it was not his request.

However, it was clear that Ya Fei was not necessarily less intelligent than him. After hearing this, she leaned forward slightly, pursed her lips, and pretended to think for a while before she spoke slowly and carefully:

"Long sword? I haven't paid much attention to the items for sale recently, so I don't have any impression of them. So I'm afraid you'll have to go and see it yourself later, Mr. Liu Xi."

Hearing this, Liu Xi's eyelids drooped, covering up the fleeting gleam in his eyes.

Not paying too much attention?

No impression?
Just an excuse!

"Fuck you, it's true. He's smiling all the time, as if he really doesn't care about the 'festival'... He's so enthusiastic about the 'old gentleman's affairs' that he even handles and prepares them himself. Now that it's my turn, is this his attitude?"

Sneering secretly in his heart, he raised his eyelids slightly, as if he saw the sly complacency that quietly disappeared from Yafei's pretty face after he finished speaking.

"Damn it! You bitch, you really pissed me off. Today I'm going to...deal with you right here!" he thought to himself.

He leaned back on the chair, crossed his fingers, held them on his abdomen, looked directly at Yafei, and said suddenly and calmly:
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that it was the old gentleman who asked me to find this good quality long sword."

As soon as these words came out.

In his eyes, Yafei's seductive body under her cheongsam trembled slightly, and her face changed slightly.
