MTL - No. 8 Pawnshop-Chapter 116
When walking out of the door of the venue, Ye Li ran into Lao Bai again, and chuckled, "I thought you wouldn't give up?"
Old Bai also smiled gently, "People are more important than things."
From the moment Ye Xi and Gu Jing appeared, he knew he lost.
Lao Bai said goodbye and left.
Ye Li looked at the back of his leaving, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile.
The Bai family would not fail to see that her plan was to use Ye Xi and Gu Jing to get dzi beads, but in the end they released water.
Just because the Bai family knew that Ye Xi was her pawn, but he knew that Ye Xi was eager to save people, so he let go of the water and willingly gave up to win this battle.
No matter how precious the dzi bead is, it is only a dead thing, and naturally it is not worth mentioning when compared with human life.
Ye Li also knew that Lao Bai had guessed her plan, but this was the most crucial part of her plan. Then, of course, this strategy will not work.
So, this time Ye Li used not only Ye Xi and Gu Jing, but also the kindness of the Bai family.
Goodness is the biggest flaw of the Bai family.
As for the dzi bead in the hands of Ye Xi and Gu Jing, if Ye Li wanted to get it again, it couldn't be easier, and this time the Bai family couldn't interfere if they wanted to.
Once Lao Bai walked to the parking place, he said warmly to Mr. Chen, who had been the main contributor in these auctions, "I'll trouble you this time."
Mr. Chen avoided his thanks, but bowed more sincerely, "It's my honor to be able to help you."
After finishing speaking, Lao Bai left alone. Mr. Chen watched Lao Bai disappear into the distance before getting in the car.
——
After Ye Xi and Gu Jing successfully photographed the dzi bead, they rushed to the hospital where Jiang You was with the dzi bead and put it on the neck of Jiang You, who was dying, and looked at the instrument. After his electrocardiogram gradually returned to normal, Ye Xi and the others were ecstatic, Jiang You was saved.
But before they were happy for two days, Jiang You became sick again. Although he was no longer in a critical condition, he couldn't get better.
Ye Xi ran to the Wanxiang Building and wanted to find Ye Li, but was told by the doorman that Miss Ye had been waiting in the building for a long time.
There were no guests in the Vientiane Building, and the emptiness was a little scary. Ye Xi was taken to the third floor, which was the same box.
Ye Xi sat on the mahogany seat, drinking tea quietly and leisurely, even if Ye Xi came in, she didn't look up at him.
Ye Xi took the initiative to break the silence, "Miss Ye, I want to know why the dzi beads can't help my friend's illness." Although it did miraculously ease Jiang You's condition, but There is no cure, just like precious medicinal herbs are used to hang their lives.
Ye Li did not speak, her eyes were still slightly down at the few pieces of tea leaves floating on the teacup, Ye Xi was anxious, "Miss Ye, I know you will not cheat us, after all, we There is also a little blood relationship between them.”
Hearing these words, Ye Li rarely raised his head and looked at her "descendant".
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
The cool words made Ye Xi feel more confident, and he started talking about the clues he asked Su Tong to investigate and the 'truth' he speculated.
"You should be the descendant of that Miss Ye, so I should call you cousin, or cousin?"
Ye Li's eyes were still indifferent, Ye Xi was a little frightened, could it be that he said something wrong? Or was there any grudge he didn't know about back then?
The cold voice sounded in the silence, deep and empty.
"Ye Zhilan, she did have a daughter when she was twenty, but she has no descendants, and she is still alive."
Ye Li smiled coldly, "Still alive and young."
Ye Xi's pupils shrank and her voice trembled, "How is that possible?"
Looking at Ye Li's eyes with a slightly cool smile, Ye Xi seemed to have guessed an impossible fact.
"Your father's name is Ye Xiao, right? Human beings have lived for too short a time, but several generations have changed in a hundred years. I can't remember clearly." The Ye family was Ye Chenyang and Ye Mingyuan. Besides, she didn't pay any more attention to the Ye family. She didn't care whether it was wealth or wealth.
Ye Li looked at Ye Xi, who was pale with fright but was standing stiffly. He didn't want to frighten her so-called 'Descendants', but turned around.
"As for the dzi, it can only prolong human life, but it cannot cure diseases."
"You lied to me?" Ye Xi blurted out, only to realize that the person in front of him was probably one of his ancestors who had lived for an unknown length of time. He knelt down when his legs softened. .
When Ye Li heard what he said, he smiled gently, "Whoever said what I said must be true."
Then the smile faded, got up from the seat, walked in front of Ye Xi, indifferently and condescendingly,
"Dzi can't save her, but the No. 8 pawnshop can."
Ye Xi's eyes were full of shock, "Is there really a No. 8 pawnshop?"
Ye Li stretched out her long and fair hand, bent over and caressed Ye Xi's cheek, and said softly, "Of course there is."
"Because I am the owner of the No. 8 pawnshop, Ye Li."
"Pawn the dzi bead to me, and you can exchange twenty years of life for her."
Ye Xi couldn't believe the authentic, "Only twenty years."
Ye Li sighed, "It's not too short, young man."
"Okay." In the end, Ye Xi said the word with difficulty, just like every guest who came to the No. 8 pawnshop.
——
Ye Xi told Gu Jing that he took the Tianzhu to the No. 8 pawnshop for pawning in exchange for Jiang You's recovery, but did not mention the matter of only twenty years of life. You can't guess what Gu Jing will give to save Jiang You once his 20 years of life are exhausted. At that time, they may not be able to encounter an opportunity like 'Dzi' that can only be bought with money.
And he will not tell Gu Jing, Miss Ye's bizarre true identity in Wanxiang Lou, when he came back, he only said that they made a mistake, and Miss Ye just helped them casually, and they had nothing to do with them relation.
The person who should be called Great Aunt Zeng by him.
A man who has lived for more than 100 years and still has the same appearance, the owner of a magical and strange pawnshop.
Take this experience as a dream, forget it when you wake up, Ye Xi told herself.
——
It's just that, with only a few decades of human lifespan, Ye Li has no interest in getting to know a soul or carving him into rough jade.
In addition to the occasional ripple, she did not expect that her descendants would one day enter the No. 8 pawnshop,
I did not expect that she is no longer in this world, but the shallow bloodline connected with her has not disappeared.
Ye Li thought, this may be the reason why she can't really leave this world.
Ye Li was only slightly emotional.
When she truly escapes from this world, from all parallel worlds, then it should be a thousand years, ten thousand years later.
Now she doesn't need to think so.

Ending (also a sideshow)
In the cold and dark pawnshop, Ye Li stood in front of the shadow and said, "What do you want me to do?"
The dark voice sounded, "How long have you been at the No. 8 pawnshop?"
"I don't remember." It was so long that she didn't even want to remember.
"But you're strong enough."
Ye Li was startled for a moment, then sneered, "No matter how strong you are, my destiny will always be in your hands."
"The contract I made with you is for eternity, but now, I will return your fate to you"
"What did you say?" Ye Li was startled, but then she found herself raising her hand uncontrollably to face the shadow.
A hand stretched out from under the black cloak and touched her fingertips. At that moment, black scales like thorns covered the back of Ye Li's white jade-like hand, and gradually spread To the whole body, forming a new shadow.
Her eyes, her hair, and her whole body were covered in darkness.
She has become the new Lord of Darkness.
Equally she also touches on more essence, real, enough to break any indestructible soul,
Two men in black cloaks stood opposite each other, as if looking in a mirror.
Shadow said, "I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"A truly eternal place, perhaps eternal life, perhaps eternal sleep, or death."
He can't stay any longer, the No. 8 pawnshop can't bear the existence of the two Lords of Darkness,
Ye Li felt the power in her body, and suddenly smiled in the boundless darkness.
"Looks like I'm going to pick a new boss for Pawnshop Eight."
The story will continue, and the gears of fate will start to turn again, but this time, the person who controls fate has been replaced by Ye Li.
No. 8 pawnshop, only deposit, no redemption
No. 8 pawnshop, never disappoints guests
