Chapter 63: Master Xuan Ji

“Mom, let's not talk about that for now. Did you send money to Xiao Jing? Hurry and tell her to come back. Since our family is rich now, there's no need for my sister to work part-time during summer vacation.

From now on, she'll be our family's princess, eating well and drinking well, without having to suffer any more grievances.”

Ye Bufan didn't want to get tangled up with his mother about a girlfriend, so he immediately used a diversion, bringing up his sister Ouyang Jing.

And he was indeed very good to his sister. Although the two had no blood relation, they had always gotten along extremely well, even closer than biological siblings.

Yesterday morning, he had just given Ouyang Lan 1 million chinese yuan, asking his mother to transfer some to his sister for living expenses.

This move was very effective. Ouyang Lan said, “I've already sent the money to that girl, but she refused it, insisting on saving it for your wedding.

She also said that she had already signed a contract for her holiday job and couldn't give up halfway.”

“That girl, always so strong. Why would I need her to save money for me to get a wife?” Ye Bufan said, “I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. You carry on.”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran out of the restaurant, afraid that Ouyang Lan would grab him again to talk about a girlfriend.

After leaving, he was wondering where to go when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He picked up the phone and glanced at it; it was Qin Chuchu calling.

The call connected, and a voice on the other end said, “Xiao Fan, where are you?”

Ye Bufan said, “Just left the restaurant. Is something wrong?”

“Wait for me at the entrance, I'll be there right away.”

Qin Chuchu hung up the phone without explanation, and five minutes later, a red Lamborghini stopped in front of the restaurant.

“Get in.”

As soon as Ye Bufan sat in the passenger seat, Qin Chuchu started the car and sped forward.

He asked, “Where are you taking me?”

“What, are you a big man afraid I'll sell you?” Qin Chuchu laughed, “I'm taking you to an event with me.”

“About that, I don't think I'll go.”

Although he was rich now, Ye Bufan was still unaccustomed to attending those extravagant high-society events. In his opinion, those rich people always wore a false mask during so-called social interactions, which made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, he indeed had other things to do. The three-day deadline with He Shuangshuang was approaching, and he still wanted to look around to see if he could try his luck and find a suitable

Magical Artifact.

Qin Chuchu said, “No choice. If it were a normal event, I wouldn't have looked for you. The key is, there's a fly there I don't want to see.”

Ye Bufan exclaimed, “Don't tell me you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend again?”

Qin Chuchu glared at him and said, “What, you're unwilling to be my boyfriend?”

Ye Bufan laughed, “I just think this pretending back and forth is too troublesome. How about we make it real? Anyway, my mom was urging me to find a girlfriend today.”

With such a beautiful woman sitting next to him, it was false to say he wasn't tempted. Shi Yuting was also a rare beauty, but compared to Qin Chuchu, she immediately paled in comparison.

Qin Chuchu said with a blush, “Dream on.”

Though she said that, her heart tightened when she heard Ye Bufan wanted to find a girlfriend.

Since last night, whenever An Yimo was infatuated with the Piano Prince's video, she would always think of Ye Bufan, a feeling she had never had before.

After a pause, she added, “I don't care if you find a girlfriend or not, but you have to be available whenever I call.”

Ye Bufan said, “You're too overbearing, aren't you? I haven't sold myself to you.”

“What? You're still unwilling?”

Qin Chuchu thought to herself, are you an idiot? I've expressed myself so clearly, don't you know you should be more proactive when chasing girls? No wonder you're still single.

“Willing, I'll just be your long-term laborer.” Ye Bufan, with only one romantic experience, didn't understand a girl's thoughts. He asked, “What kind of event is this?”

“It's a raw stone exhibition. Our Qin's Group deals in jade, and I need to represent the group to bid on some raw stones to replenish our stock.

Additionally, before the raw stone exhibition, there's a small-scale auction, and among the items up for auction is something my father is interested in. I need to find a way to bid for it.”

Qin Chuchu said, handing Ye Bufan a catalog from the side, “This is the auction's promotional poster, with many rare collectibles.

If you're interested in anything, you can also participate in the bidding. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you first.”

Ye Bufan took the poster and looked at it. The entire catalog was beautifully made, with clear photos and detailed descriptions of each collectible.

Opening the first page, there was a glowing pearl, with a small line of text next to it: “hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl), an extremely rare top-grade Magical Artifact, a treasure from the hands of Great Master Xuanji.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Master Xuanji.”

Below that pearl, the starting bid price was marked: 10 million chinese yuan.

He couldn't help but exclaim, “This one thing costs 10 million? That's too expensive, isn't it?”

Qin Chuchu said, “10 million is just the starting price. The hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) is a Magical Artifact personally crafted by Great Master Xuanji. It has the effects of regulating the human body's magnetic field, condensing Feng Shui, and praying for blessings and warding off evil. Placing it at home can also bring blessings and wealth.

Magical Artifacts are priceless to begin with. You shouldn't even think about bidding it down for 10 million. In my estimation, the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) will sell for at least 50 million, or even higher.”

Ye Bufan said, “Your father isn't going to bid on this pearl, is he?”

Qin Chuchu said, “That's right, I came to this auction specifically for the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl). As long as the price doesn't exceed 100 million, I will definitely bid for it.”

Ye Bufan said no more. Although he kept finding this hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) unreliable, it was only a picture after all. Whether it was truly a Magical Artifact could only be determined by seeing the real object.

He continued to look at the poster in his hand. The hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) placed at the very front was the most valuable, and the other auction items after it were much cheaper.

Most of them were various antiques, ancient paintings, vases, and various porcelains.

He wasn't interested in any of these things. He continued flipping through, and suddenly saw a contract, with small text next to it: “Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community Transfer Contract, starting bid 100 million chinese yuan, successful bidder will own all rights to the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community.”

He might not know other places, but he was very familiar with the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community. He had just returned from there the night before last.

Leaving aside the Yin Qi there, the location of this community was excellent, nestled by mountains and water, with convenient transportation to the city, very suitable for wealthy people to live in.

Moreover, the construction quality of the community buildings was also very good, and it was not far from complete construction.

Without saying anything else, just the entire construction cost plus the land price would be at least 1 billion chinese yuan. Why was it suddenly being auctioned off, and at such a low price? Could it be related to the recent cases?

Seeing him looking thoughtfully at the contract, Qin Chuchu said, “What are you looking at? Do you also know this community?”

Ye Bufan said, “Yes, I just happened to go there a few days ago. This is a very nice high-end villa area, and it's almost completed. Why is it suddenly being auctioned off, and selling so cheaply?”
