Chapter 63 Xu Jingkai's Luck

Wang Ke, who was walking slowly on the street, found that he had underestimated the madness of people on Curio Street, and even underestimated the allure of the high-level magic weapon more. At the moment, almost every stall was full of people. Even those who didn't know or understand magic weapons were searching around like headless flies, hoping to get lucky under countless people's expectations.

Wang Ke understood in his mind that a blind search like this was like looking for a needle in a haystack. After all, the number of antiques in the entire antique trading market added up to tens of millions. The chance of finding a high-level magic weapon was not even higher than the chance of winning five million yuan in a lottery.

"These people are so crazy. It's just a high-level magic weapon! It's not even certain who is going to find that high-level magic weapon yet. They are so anxious! But I'm afraid that in the end, all of their efforts will go to waste!" Li Ruoxi skewed her mouth and muttered.

Wang Ke had sharp ears and could clearly hear Li Ruoxi's mutters. He touched Li Ruoxi with his shoulder before he laughed, "The bustling world operates based on profits, and everyone wants to make profits. I'm afraid the number of people who dream of becoming rich overnight is too many to count in this world, for it's just human nature."

Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke with slight surprise, then nodded silently.

"Wang Ke, after we sell this chair, should we still go around? Look how enthusiastic they are. Should we also get into it? Maybe good luck can really fall on our heads!"

Wang Ke smiled and shook his head. "Let's not get into this, okay? I'm content to get this chair today. Let's go. Let's sell this chair first."

A few minutes later, as the two crossed two or three streets and rushed with the flow of people towards Fuxuan Hall, Wang Ke suddenly spotted Xu Jingkai, who was bargaining with a stall owner over the price of an item at a roadside stall on the Curio Street.

"It's him? That guy still has the nerve to come out? How shameless." Li Ruoxi followed Wang Ke's gaze and also saw Xu Jingkai standing in front of the stall.

Wang Ke turned his head to look at Li Ruoxi and smiled, "Should we go over and take a look?"

Li Ruoxi nodded without hesitation. Her mind was full of disgust toward Xu Jingkai, so she wanted to see what that guy was capable of.

"Ring. Ring. Ring..."

The cell phone in Li Ruoxi's bag rang.

Li Ruoxi pulled out her phone with confusion. When she clearly saw the caller's phone number, her face darkened at an instant.

"Who is calling?"

Wang Ke keenly noticed Li Ruoxi's gloomy expression and asked curiously.

Li Ruoxi said with a blank expression on her face, "Someone from the company. I'll take it."

Wang Ke nodded. As long as it was not a call from the Li family looking for trouble, he did not care.

After picking up the call, Li Ruoxi said coldly, "It's me. What's up?"

"Ms. Wang, I resigned after you left the company that day. Are you still in Changji? Can I treat you to a cup of coffee?"

The indifference on Li Ruoxi's face melted a little. Turning her head to look at Wang Ke, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "When?"

"Can we meet right now?"

"Tell me the address. I'll come over now."

A few moments later, Li Ruoxi hung up the phone. She turned to Wang Ke and said, "I have something to do, so I have to leave for a while. Xing Ke is a former manager of my company who I cultivated myself. He just called to say that he resigned and wanted to meet with me."

Wang Ke secretly sighed in his mind. Li Ruoxi agreeing to meet with the guy meant that it was still impossible for her to completely let go of what had happened before.

"It's okay. Go ahead."

Li Ruoxi nodded. She took two steps forward and suddenly turned back to Wang Ke. She held out his hand and said, "Lend me some money. When I come back, I will go to the supermarket on the way to buy some household items. The food outside is unhealthy. Let's eat at home from now on!"

Wang Ke reached out and pulled out his wallet. He took out two thousand yuan and handed it to Li Ruoxi before asking curiously, "Are you going to ask Mrs. Song to move over? There's not enough room at home!"

Li Ruoxi nimbly put the money into her purse, and only then said in a good-natured manner, "Can't we cook at home without Mrs. Song? If you can't cook, I'll do it, but you will have to pay for the meal. I'm poor now."

Wang Ke was a little surprised. Looking at the back of Li Ruoxi who turned to leave afterwards, he shook his head.

Could she cook?

Was her cooking edible?

He found it really difficult to imagine a charming and beautiful woman wearing an apron and busy cooking in the kitchen.

Withdrawing his eyes from that perfect swaying body, Wang Ke sneakily walked towards the stall where Xu Jingkai was.

"Boss, you're too dishonest, aren't you? Thirty thousand yuan? You might as well rob this money from me! This thing looks like it doesn't even worth three thousand to me. Forget it. I'll give you five thousand yuan to buy this thing. How about this?" Xu Jingkai said loudly.

The stall owner said with discontent, "Who said that it's not worth three thousand yuan? If you go to other places to ask around, you'll see that the antique market is filled with the rumor of the existence of a high-level magic weapon. Perhaps this thing really is that high-level magic weapon! I'll tell you what_I won't ask you for thirty thousand yuan. Twenty-eight thousand yuan. That's the minimum."

Xu Jingkai said loudly, "I'll give you another five hundred yuan. Five thousand five hundred yuan. This is the bottom line I can afford. If you can't accept this, then forget it."

The stall owner's facial expression changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he held out two fingers and said, "Twenty thousand. Give me twenty thousand yuan and you can take it."

Xu Jingkai looked around and found that at this time, there were already quite a few people busy looking through antique items at this stall. Not many people paid attention to the price negotiation between him and the stall owner. His eyes then fell on the antique in his hand. When he had just found this antique, he had thought that it was a bit peculiar. At that time, this item had been placed in a hidden corner. It was not easy to be found.

He has just quietly used energy-observing techniques to find that there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy around. However, the fluctuation seemed to be barely there. If he had not spent a full two or three minutes, he really could not have detected it.

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Jingkai said, "Eight thousand yuan. It was not easy finding something I like today, so I'll buy it for eight thousand yuan. Alas, it is really unlucky that at this time there is a rumor about the existence of a high-level magic weapon. Otherwise, I am afraid that this thing would not even be worth eight hundred yuan."

The stall owner was actually very content hearing Xu Jingkai's offer. He was right. Usually, he would consider it sold at a good price even if the price was eight hundred yuan.

But now, because of the rumor of a high-level magic weapon going around, stall owners were madly raising the prices of antique items. There were items that with prices raised tens or hundreds of times. Moreover, every owner had secretly hidden the items on their stalls or in their stores which they believed might be the high-level magic weapon. The remaining antique items on their stalls or in their stores were actually things that had not been fancied by the owners.

"Since you are very straightforward, I will not ramble longer. Fifteen thousand yuan. This thing needs at least fifteen thousand yuan. If you do not buy it, I will sell it to someone else. Look around at this situation. Am I worried that no one will buy it?" The stall owner said loudly. Although he felt a little diffident in his mind, he did not show it on his face at all.

Xu Jingkai was silent for a while before stretching out a finger and saying firmly, "Let's round it to ten thousand. If you are not willing to sell it for ten thousand, I will no longer negotiate about the price with you. I will turn my head and leave, and there's no need for you shout at me to stay. If you agree, I'll give you the money now, and we'll be clear after the deal."

Ten thousand yuan?

The stall owner struggled for a moment in his mind. He looked at the antique in Xu Jingkai's hand and then looked at his face, before nodding and saying, "Okay, if you say ten thousand yuan, then ten thousand yuan it is."

"Deal."

A secret delight flashed in Xu Jingkai's eyes. He nimbly took out his wallet and reached out to hand it to the stall owner without even counting.

"This is ten thousand yuan that I have just taken out from the bank a while ago. Count it yourself."

At this time, Wang Ke had already squeezed to Xu Jingkai's side without a trace. Although the two of them were still separated by two people, he keenly captured the secret delight in Xu Jingkai's eyes.

At that moment, Wang Ke was slightly stunned. How could Xu Jingkai be so sure that the antique in his hand was of high quality?

"Please give way and make room for me." An old voice came from behind Wang Ke.

Wang Ke turned his head to glance at the old man behind him. It was a man past his prime with his face full of wrinkles. Wang Ke smiled and nodded, and distanced himself from Xu Jingkai a bit. In this way, he vacated a position for the old man.

The old man gave Wang Ke a grateful glance, swept a few glances toward the stall, and then looked at the stall owner who was counting the money and Xu Jingkai who was holding the antique he had just bought.

Suddenly, the expression on the old man's face changed as a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

As Xu Jingkai watched the stall owner count his money and was about to leave, the old man squeezed hard to Xu Jingkai's side. He reached out and pulled Xu Jingkai's clothes, and said, "Can you let me have a look at the antique in your hand?"

Xu Jingkai frowned. He waved his arm to break away from the old man's hand and was about to scold him when suddenly his face froze. He hurriedly let the angry look that surfaced his face disappear and replaced it with a curt smile.

He knew this old man. The old man was a geomancer. When Xu Jingkai had not even begun to learn about Fengshui, the old man was already at the Yinyang Master level for geomancers. Xu Jingkai did not know what level he was at now. With a respectful look on his face, he hurriedly handed over the antique he had just bought and said, "Mr. He, I didn't expect it to be you! Since it is you who want to see it, you can take it and have a look."

The old man nodded. He saw it all in his eyes what Xu Jingkai's reaction had been.

After holding the antique and looking at it for a few minutes, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Little brother, how about selling this antique to me? I think it's a good item. Don't worry. Since you just bought it for ten thousand yuan, I won't let you lose. I'll give you fifty thousand yuan. How about this?"

Xu Jingkai was dumbfounded and his heart suddenly burst with excitement.

This elderly man was a Yinyang Master! As a senior in the antique world, he probably recognized that the item was a magic weapon.

Had he found a treasure?

With intense joy on his face, Xu Jingkai showed the old man an apologetic smile and said, "Mr. He, I also like this item quite a lot, so I'm afraid I can't sell it to you. You should be able to see, right? It is a magic weapon, and a very peculiarly shaped one at that."

The old man glanced at Xu Jingkai in surprise. He had not expected that the young man in front of him to be able to identify that this was a magic weapon. Even though there were Fengshui layouts in this magic weapon, if you did not reach the Yinyang Master level, you simply could not detect them. This item was definitely a middle-level magic weapon.
