"You, you child, you really don't know how to hold back," the old lady said, at a loss for words. She knew she couldn't control her adopted grandson, but she still felt the need to say something.
Zhu Xiangyue's lawyer was dumbfounded; he had never encountered someone so audacious before.
"Perhaps we should take your chairman to the hospital first. If you want to sue us, you'll have to take your time," Yue Hui said with a smile. Zhu Xiangyue really had to pick a fight with Mr. Jiang; it was as if he was tired of living.
Zhu Xiangyue, having been struck again, drew the attention of those present.
At that moment, Shi Hao entered with his superior.
Shi Hao's superior was none other than Zeng Xianyi.
Zeng Xianyi had come this time for an antique collected by Li Huan Guo, or rather, an artifact. Although Zeng Xianyi wasn't particularly interested in antiques, he was quite knowledgeable about artifacts. As the president of the Dragon Martial Institute, he had a deep understanding of Huaxia Martial Arts, Hidden Sect practices, and various mystical artifacts.
Years ago, Zeng Xianyi had seen one of Li Huan Guo's collectibles that left a lasting impression on him: a peculiar landscape painting. If one stared at this painting for too long, their consciousness would quickly become hazy, as if they were entering the world within the painting.
Back then, Zeng Xianyi had been captivated by that landscape painting; his awareness was drawn into it, and he even saw the hidden Taoist temple nestled among the mountains. Just as he was about to enter the temple, the Bixi statue at the entrance suddenly came to life and roared at him. Startled, Zeng Xianyi snapped back to reality and found that the strange phenomena had vanished when he looked at the painting again.
Feeling bewildered, Zeng Xianyi immediately inquired about the painting from Li Huan Guo.
Li Huan Guo explained that the painting had a mesmerizing effect; anyone who gazed at it would fall into confusion. Those with strong awareness could even feel themselves entering the painting.
As for its origins, Li Huan Guo merely stated that he had acquired it by chance without going into detail.
Recognizing the extraordinary nature of the painting, Zeng Xianyi believed it to be an artifact—specifically a painting artifact. While such things weren't unheard of, this particular painting was truly remarkable. Zeng Xianyi wanted to purchase it from Li Huan Guo, but Li Huan Guo refused to part with it. After years of persistent negotiation without success, Zeng Xianyi had almost given up hope. However, he recently learned that Li Huan Guo intended to auction off his collection, which included that extraordinary landscape painting.
This time, Zeng Xianyi came in person. He had seen that painting several times before; each time he approached the temple's entrance, he was frightened back to reality by the Bixi Divine Beast guarding it. The vividness of those experiences felt undeniably real and not like mere dreams. Thus, his curiosity about the landscape painting grew stronger, and he yearned to explore the temple within it.
Now that he knew Jiang Chen, he felt unable to discern anything from the painting himself but believed Jiang Chen could certainly do so.
So today, Zeng Xianyi aimed to acquire that landscape painting as a gift for Jiang Chen, hoping he could uncover its mysteries.
"Shi Hao," Zeng Xianyi remarked upon entering, "it's quite lively here! What's everyone gathered around over there? Isn't the auction supposed to start officially yet?"
