The little disciple who was sent away came back from a pastry shop two streets away with a bag of almond thousand layer pastries in his hand.
When he came back, the door was tightly shut. When he pushed it open, the antique hall was already empty.
The little disciple went to the second floor again, but the second floor was the same.
He scratched his head and sat on a small stool at the side.
The customer’s car was still parked outside, which meant that he had not left yet.
Since his master was missing, there was only one possibility.
Every branch hall had a secret room, and the little disciple knew this too. However, what he found strange was that every time his master brought a guest to the secret room, he would not avoid him. At most, he would ask him to close the door.
And this time, he was actually sent away.
The little disciple remembered what his master had said before, “it’s true that she’s domineering, but her money is not easy to earn.”
I wonder if my master can earn this customer’s money…
The little disciple obediently returned to the first floor and sat on his small stool.
He looked at the almond pastry in his hand, sniffed it secretly, and licked the corner of his mouth covetously. However, in the end, he held it in and dozed off while hugging the pastry.
There was a secret room in the innermost part of the secret room.
The one Pei Huai and the others went to last time didn’t have one.
The light in the room was extremely dark. Xu Mingzhi looked up at the ceiling as if he could not see the end. He did not know if it was a holographic projection or something else. She was clearly looking up, but it seemed like she was looking into an abyss.
The only thing she could see was the table in front of her, on which three empty sh.e.l.ls were placed side by side.
The sh.e.l.l was so big that it could be used as a container to hold items.
“Has Yuan Lord Xu made a decision?” Bian Guanshi’s voice came from somewhere. Xu Mingzhi remembered that he should have entered the room with him, but he could not be sure where he was at this moment. Other than the table in front of him, his vision was completely dark.
Xu Mingzhi’s hands in her pockets tightened slightly. Her gaze was firm. “Yes, Master. I’ve made up my mind.”
She said it without any hesitation, as if she was signing a business agreement. It was impossible to predict what kind of deal she was going to make with Bian Guanshi.
There was nothing more important to her than this.
When she heard that her daughter’s second child would be in danger.
“As long as Master can ensure that my daughter’s two children are safe and healthy, I’m willing to pay any price. All my a.s.sets, my future fortune, anything can be exchanged.”
Especially when it came to relationships. If she could, she wouldn’t even blink!
She didn’t mind being alone for the rest of her life. She could be beautiful by herself. There was nothing more satisfying than watching her daughter’s two children grow up healthily.
However, after she finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.
She looked at the three empty plates in front of her and her lips gradually tightened.
She might have expected that if it was as simple as she thought, then there would not be so many regrets in the world.
If you want to protect the things you care about the most, then the same…you have to use your most precious thing to exchange for it.
This was the correct way to negotiate, wasn’t it?
“I’ve said it before.” Bian Guanshi’s tone was calm and emotionless. “You can’t do anything against the heavens.”
Then, he said the second half of the sentence, “those who want to do it, needs to exchange for it.”
Previously, when Su Ji returned from the Great Shang, Bian Tong had fallen into reincarnation.
Now that Xu Mingzhi wanted to exchange for a fresh life, the price that could match it must be…
Xu Mingzhi said, “then tell me, Elder Bian. What do you want? What do you think I can offer in exchange?”
“No,” Bian Guanshi said indifferently. “It’s not what I want. I’m just a medium…”
He paused for a second and continued, “you are making a deal with the Heavenly Dao!”
Xu Mingzhi’s eyes darkened.
The phone in her hand vibrated. It was a message from Su Cunyi.
“Everything is fine with your daughter. Don’t be in a hurry to come back. Just focus on your matters.”
Seeing this message, Xu Mingzhi’s expression did not improve at all. Instead, it became even colder.
If her daughter was really doing well, why hadn’t she called her?
At that time, not only would Su Cunyi call her, but her best friend would also call her.
One could imagine the situation in the hospital now. When Xu Mingzhi closed her eyes, her daughter’s pale face appeared in her mind.
In this world, no one wanted their children to be happy more than a mother.
