Capítulo 43: Rich guy?!
Huh? Chi Miya was taken aback hearing Zhao Tian's words "What do you mean-." she squinted her eyes again recalling her own words and she quickly turned her gaze towards the pair of swords that was taken away.
"Were you the one who put the swords in the auction?" She asked blinking her eyes in surprise and Zhao Tian gave a nod "Yeah, I did."
Zhao Tian is not a normal human, he is a cultivator now. So he has to use the perks of being a cultivator.
In his artifact warehouse, there are countless earth-grade garbage items, along with an overload of heaven-grade weapons and artifacts of even higher grades.
To begin with, he tried to sell two earth-grade swords and it was a wonder as it priced this high. And he understood something, the Earth grade is great for a middle star like Earth as he remembered Xia Shenyi calling the Earth grade garbage in her star.
If he was ever short of money, he could just sell some earth-grade weapons in this auction and earn billions.
Only because of these earth-grade swords in the auction, he confidently stood up to bid for the Affinity orb with millions.
Chi Miya blinked her eyes looking at Zhao Tian "You are rich now." Zhao Tian chuckled "I told you that I would pay you back."
Chi Miya gave a wry smile upon hearing this, her lips curving into a slight smirk "But I don't want you to pay back, please… think of this as a little gift from me." Seeing her being persistent, Zhao Tian relented and gave a light nod.
And the auction continued, there was nothing more interesting for Zhao Tian to buy so he just chatted with Chi Miya enjoying the drinks.
At this time, Zhao Tian received a notification and glanced at the number of zeros and the number three in front of him. 'Oh? I didn't expect them to transfer all 30 billion in one day.'
As the auction was near to end, Zhao Tian stood up "Miya, let go!" Chi Miya gave a nod and stood up after him "En. Tian!"
…
Huang Ming spoke "Han, try to get information about who sold these high-graded weapons. Who would see these rare weapons for money?" Yu Han gave a nod "As you say, Master Huang!"
Yu Han turned to look at his bodyguard "Go and call the manager of this auction house."
"Yes, Boss!"
After a while, a man in his forties made his way into the VIP room with a smile "It's been some time, Mister Yu and Master Huang!"
Yu Han nodded and gestured for the manager to take a seat "Come and sit!" The manager sat on the opposite couch of Yu Han and Huang Ming.
"You called for me? What happened?" Hearing this, Yu Han said "We need to know who sold this item." pointing at the swords.
The manager quickly glanced at the pair of swords in front of him and firmly shook his head in response "No, Mister Han, you know we wouldn't disclose private information about who sold the item."
Yu Han persuaded "I can pay you money if you want, just tell me who sold these." But the manager still reluctant spoke, "That's against our policy."
Huang Ming frowned releasing a bit of his aura on him "Do you have any death wish?" The whole room trembled for a moment. The manager's eyes were quivering with anxiety, but his voice was firm "Are you threatening me, Master Huang?"
"Your sect has formed an alliance with the Government and is currently engaged in peaceful negotiations with the World government. Therefore, engaging in such actions is not advisable on your part."
Huang Ming narrowed his eyes "You think I care about that? I'll just kill you leaving no evidence." With each word, his voice grew colder, his aura raising pressing on the Manager.
The Manager's heart shook at the feeling of the aura, but then a sigh escaped his lips "I-I can't give out personal information, but all I can say is that the one who came to sell it is not a cultivator."
"Not a cultivator?" Huang Ming raised an eyebrow. The manager nodded his head "That man said that he found it in a forest while hiking and thinking it was an antique he came to sell it in the auction."
"Hm…" Huang Ming contemplated hearing the valid reason. "So, it's just a stroke of luck?" Yu Han inquired, gazing at Huang Ming with curiosity in his eyes.
"I wonder…"
…
While Zhao Tian was driving his Lamborghini on his way back home, his attention was caught by a woman coming out from a nearby store. and he drove the Lambo near to her.
Mei Xiu was taken aback when a sleek luxury car unexpectedly approached her. Her expression furrowed in confusion, but as the tinted windows rolled down, and seeing who it was "Zhao Tian!" she exclaimed in surprise.
Sitting inside, Zhao Tian opened the door "Come in! I will drop you." Mei Xiu hesitated for a bit and seeing her hesitation Zhao Tian spoke with a teasing smile "Come on, you have already been in my car. I am not kidnapping you or anything."
"I know, Hmph!" she snorted and entered the car closing the door.
Looking at the interior, Mei Xiu asked "You bought a new car?" Zhao Tian shook his head "This is that old man's car."
"Oh, I see…" Mei Xiu mused.
*vroom* Zhao Tian started the engine and began to drive. "Why did you come a long way away from your apartment to buy groceries? Is there no grocery store nearby?"
Mei Xiu glanced over at the road a little embarrassed "Well, this store had a discount sale so I came here by bus to buy the groceries. Rich people like you won't understand this suffering."
Rich guy? Zhao Tian chuckled in his heart hearing this. If he wanted he could give Mei Xiu money, but he knew she would definitely refuse that.
Despite Li Jie's attempt to offer her financial support, she adamantly declined and told him that she would earn by herself and provide for her Grandma.
As Zhao Tian's gaze shifted towards her, a subtle yet heartfelt smile delicately graced his lips. Despite her angry bird nature and tendency to be easily provoked he likes this determined side of her.
Noticing him smiling at her, Mei Xiu frowned "What?" In response, Zhao Tian simply shook his head "Nothing?"
"A-Are you teasing me?"
"When did I tease you Idiot."
"I-I don't know, it just felt like your eyes are teasing me, and don't call me an idiot."
"Idiot!"
"I told you not to call me an idiot!"
Zhao Tian's smile widened as he gently reached out and playfully pinched Mei Xiu's waist. Startled, Mei Xiu jumped in her seat and exclaimed "Y-You! Why are you pinching me again?"
…
As Zhao Tian's car pulled up to the apartment building, Mei Xiu looked at him and cheekily remarked "Thank you for the ride, rascal." she taunted him and opened the door to leave.
As she stepped out of the car, a sound reached her ears "Xiu'er you came in a grand car?" Huh? She hurriedly turned her head and saw her grandmother Li Qianzhi standing outside the apartment door.
"Grandma, how many times I have told you not to come outside? Your body is still in recovery." Mei Xiu spoke hurriedly walking towards her. Li Qianzhi smiled "I just came to get some fresh air… By the way, the car."
Mei Xiu turned around looking at the car, a wry smile on her lips "It's Zhao Tian!" Zhao Tian parked the car aside and came out "Grandma!"
Li Qianzhi smiled "Boy Tian! Haha…" Zhao Tian walked to her "As Mei Xiu said it is dangerous to walk around outside, it's just been 2 days after your discharge."
Li Qianzhi shook her head "I still have energy in these old bones to walk around." Zhao Tian just smiled and Li Qianzhi spoke "Come inside, it's your first time here… Have Lunch together with us."
Mei Xiu was taken aback by the unexpected invitation from her grandma. "Wait, Grandma?" she stammered in surprise. Lunch with him? Li Qianzhi gave her a stern look "Why? What's wrong? You go in and quickly prepare for Lunch…" she ordered Mei Xiu.
Mei Xiu faintly glimpsed over at Zhao Tian and a sigh left her lips "Ok, I don't know if he likes my cooking or not… Hmph!" she sneered walking to her apartment.
Seeing her, Li Qianzhi shook her head "It is because of this temperament she doesn't have any friends. First, she needs to change this…" Zhao Tian smiled "You think so? I think it's cute."
"Haha! You are the only one who thinks that."
…
Mei Xiu swiftly made her way into the kitchen, ready to prepare the Lunch. Not long after, Zhao Tian also followed her into the kitchen "Need any help?"
Mei Xiu looked at him "The biggest help you can do is not disturbing me." Zhao Tian 'smiled' "You have a sharp tongue, don't you?" his fingers pinching her waist tightly. Mei Xiu winced, feeling a sudden jolt of pain shoot through her body. "ZHAO TIAN!!!" she screamed, her voice echoing through the room.
*ring* At this time, his mobile rang and he left the kitchen. Seeing him leaving the kitchen, Mei Xiu glared at him "I am gonna repay for all of this one day. hmph!"
Zhao Tian picked up the call and heard a familiar voice on the other end "Hello, Tian… have you reached home?"
"No, I am in my friend's home right now…"
"Hoh? Is your friend a w-woman?"
"Yeah…"
-_- Why is he always surrounded by women? Seeing her being silent Zhao Tian spoke "Miya?"
"A-Ah! Tian… the thing I called you is that Shui'er is getting discharged from the hospital after a week. So I was wondering, is there any way to treat her legs like the way you treated my injuries."
Zhao Tian frowned hearing this "I am not so sure, but I guess high-grade pills could do that."
"R-Really?" Chi Miya yelled in shock "T-Tian, is there any way we can prepare this high-grade pill?"
Zhao Tian replied, "I'll look into it."
"Thank you, Tian. Thank you so much! You have done so much for me."
…
After 30 minutes, the food was served on the dining table. Zhao Tian took a seat beside Mei Xiu and Li Qianzhi spoke with a smile "Tian, I am sure you will enjoy Xiu'er cooking."
Mei Xiu didn't speak anything and discreetly glanced at him in the corner of her eyes. As Zhao Tian took his first bite of the food, Mei Xiu felt anxious and looked at him expecting to see his reaction.
'Did he like the food? Is it good?' Thoughts ran through her mind as she anticipated his response. Zhao Tian smiled gently and nodded his head "As Grandma said, Mei Xiu's cooking is really great."
A smile instantly bloomed on Mei Xiu's face and she lowered her head to trying to hide her smile as she began to eat.
Li Qianzhi's eyes softened seeing her granddaughter smiling like a fool. 'She acted all that but seems like she cares for him too and is conscious of him.'
'I never thought this brazen girl would act timidly like this…'
"Of course, it would taste good, I am the one who made it…" Mei Xiu said making Li Qianzhi dumbfounded (ᇂ_ᇂ ) 'Yep, she is not getting a boyfriend with that attitude.'
Li Qianzhi glanced over at the clock and spoke "Xiu'er, it is time to watch your favorite couple show."
"Couple show?" Zhao Tian asked intrigued.
Mei Xiu was quickly flustered, her cheeks burning in embarrassment "G-Grandma, why are you saying it out loud?"
"What? You like that right?"
Mei Xiu quickly turned to look at Zhao Tian "T-There is nothing wrong with watching couple show, ok? Don't misunderstand…"
"I didn't even say anything…"
"But you surely will say it and tease me, so I know."
Wtf?
