"You, you child, you really don't know how to hold back," the old lady said, at a loss for words. She knew she couldn't control her adopted grandson, but she still felt the need to say something.
Zhu Xiangyue's lawyer was dumbfounded; he had never encountered someone so audacious before.
"Let's take your chairman to the hospital first. If you want to sue us, you'll have to take your time," Yue Hui said with a smile. Zhu Xiangyue had chosen the wrong person to provoke; it seemed he was asking for trouble.
Zhu Xiangyue, having been struck again, drew the attention of those present.
At that moment, Shi Hao entered with his superior, none other than Zeng Xianyi.
Zeng Xianyi had come this time for an antique collected by Li Huan Guo, or rather, an artifact. Although Zeng Xianyi wasn't particularly interested in antiques, he was quite knowledgeable about artifacts. As the president of the Dragon Martial Institute, he had a deep understanding of Huaxia Martial Arts, Hidden Sects, and various magical items.
Years ago, Zeng Xianyi had seen one of Li Huan Guo's collectibles that left a lasting impression on him—a peculiar landscape painting. If one stared at this painting for too long, their consciousness would quickly become hazy, as if they were entering the world within the painting.
Back then, Zeng Xianyi had been captivated by that landscape painting; his consciousness was drawn into it, and he even saw a hidden Taoist temple nestled among the mountains. Just as he was about to enter the temple, the Bixi statue at the entrance suddenly came to life and roared at him. Startled, Zeng Xianyi snapped back to reality and found that the strange phenomena had vanished when he looked at the painting again.
Feeling bewildered, Zeng Xianyi immediately inquired about the painting from Li Huan Guo.
Li Huan Guo explained that the painting had a mesmerizing effect; anyone who gazed at it would fall into confusion, and those with strong consciousness could even feel themselves entering the painting.
As for its origin, Li Huan Guo merely mentioned that he had acquired it by chance without going into detail.
Recognizing the extraordinary nature of this painting, Zeng Xianyi believed it to be an artifact—specifically a painting artifact. Such things weren't unheard of, but this particular painting was truly remarkable. Zeng Xianyi wanted to purchase it from Li Huan Guo but was met with refusal. Despite years of persistence and negotiation, he had not succeeded in acquiring this mystical landscape painting. He had almost given up hope until he learned that Li Huan Guo planned to auction off his collectibles, including that very painting.
This time, Zeng Xianyi came in person. He had seen the painting several times before and each time he was scared back to reality by the Bixi Divine Beast at the temple's entrance. The vividness of that experience was definitely not a dream. Thus, his curiosity about the landscape painting grew stronger, and he yearned to explore the mysteries of the temple depicted within it.
Now that he knew Jiang Chen, Zeng Xianyi felt he couldn't discern much from the painting himself but believed Jiang Chen certainly could.
So today, Zeng Xianyi aimed to acquire that landscape painting as a gift for Jiang Chen so he could delve into its secrets.
"Shi Hao," Zeng Xianyi remarked as he entered, "it's quite lively here! What are all those people gathered around? Isn't the auction supposed to start yet?"
