The two people who just walked into the school gate not far away, the man has a round figure, and the woman is slender and beautiful, they are none other than Fang Xia's buddy Hou Chaoqing, and Zhou Lu, the oil painting department flower with whom he has a good relationship.

Hou Chaoqing was still the same, he couldn't get out of his temper even though he was fat all over his body.As soon as he found Fang Xia, he rushed over screaming.

"It's really you!" Hou Chaoqing thumped Fang Xia's shoulder with his fist, "Why didn't you tell me when you returned to City C? My brother will cleanse you up!"

After Hou Chaoqing finished speaking, he felt that this could not fully express his feelings when he saw Fang Xia Feiyang, so he patted Fang Xia on the shoulder twice again.

"What are you doing? Are you secretly wiping sweat on my clothes?" Fang Xia looked disgusted, but there was a smile in his eyes.

"What's wrong with just wiping my sweaty hands? After wiping my left hand, I have to wipe my right hand!" As he said that, Hou Chaoqing immediately changed his other hand and patted Fang Xia's body.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Fang Xia grabbed Hou Chaoqing with one hand and stretched out his right hand, while the other hand hooked Hou Chaoqing's neck, "I haven't seen you for a while, I'm getting fatter!"

"Aww! I was wrong! Please show mercy to Fang Daxia!"

"Hmm, this feeling seems to be thinner than before?" Fang Xia said, pinching Hou Chao's double chin.

"Master Hou, I'm losing weight! I've lost more than ten catties!"

The two quarreled like children for a while before giving up.

Zhou Lu, who walked one step behind Hou Chaoqing, greeted Fang Xia with a smile, "Long time no see, Fang Xia."

"Long time no see." Fang Xia also replied with a smile.

"Cough!" Hou Chaoqing coughed dryly, raised his chin slightly, and said to Fang Xia, "Fang Xia, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Zhou Lu."

"Girlfriend?" Fang Xia showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes! Girlfriend!" Hou Chaoqing said, shyly holding Zhou Lu's hand.

"Fang Xia, let me introduce you too." Zhou Lu shook Hou Chaoqing's hand lightly, her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, "This is my boyfriend, Hou Chaoqing."

No wonder he met Hou Chaoqing at school.

Hou Chaoqing graduated and moved out of the school dormitory three months ago, while Zhou Lu stayed in school for postgraduate entrance examination and would come to school from time to time. If the two were dating, it would not be surprising for Hou Chaoqing to appear together.

Looking at the couple introducing each other, Fang Xia rolled his eyes, and his eyes fell on Fu Jin beside him.

"Ahem! Let me introduce you too." Fang Xia leaned closer to Fu Jin, interlocking his fingers, "This is my boyfriend, Fu Jin."

This time it was Hou Chaoqing and Zhou Lu who were surprised. They obviously did not expect that the man next to Fang Xia, who had a face like a crown of jade, but looked indifferent, was so noble that no one dared to look directly at him, was the same as Fang Xia. It turned out to be this kind of relationship.

After being surprised, the two greeted Fu Jin again.Looking at his eyes, due to his aura, he still retreated subconsciously, but his eyes were filled with the enthusiasm of his own people.

The four of them stood in the aisle not far from the school gate. There was shade on the side of the road, but it couldn't completely block the sun. It wasn't a good place to chat.Hou Chaoqing accompanied Zhou Lu to the art room of the school to pick up the paintings, so he asked Fang Xia to wait in the coffee shop opposite the school, and they went over after taking the paintings.

Fang Xia came to City C to investigate the Wang family's talents, and he was involved in the mystery circle. He was afraid of accidentally involving his friends, so he didn't say hello when he came.However, since we met by chance, it's not a big deal to sit down and chat for a while.

The coffee shop opposite the school is also the old place of the four of them. They used to frequent this coffee shop in City C before.At that time, Fu Jin still maintained the appearance of a soul body that ordinary people couldn't see, Hou Chaoqing and Zhou Lu didn't even know that there was Fu Jin at the same table.

The four drank a cup of coffee in the coffee shop and chatted for a while. Hou Chaoqing proposed to treat the guests to dinner, but Fang Xia refused.Hou Chaoqing was not reluctant, and parted with Fang Xia and the others at the entrance of the coffee shop.

After Fang Xia hurriedly left City C, he called Hou Chaoqing on the phone, and Hou Chaoqing knew about Master Fang Xia's death.Standing at the door of the coffee shop, he wanted Fang Xia not to be too sad, but he felt that by mentioning this, he was only bringing back bad memories for Fang Xia.

"If you need help with anything, feel free to ask me, my brother, you are welcome." Hou Chaoqing swallowed the comfort of Fan Yifan, patted his chest, and said proudly, "The company I work for now is very reliable. The month has turned positive, and I will soon be on the rise, Lord Hou, I am also a capable social person!"

"Okay! Then lend me 100 million flowers first." Fang Xia smiled at Hou Chaoqing.

"Hey!"

"Kidding."

Fang Xia stretched out his fist, Hou Chaoqing tacitly touched Fang Xia with his fist.

Hou Chaoqing helped Zhou Lu, and loaded a stack of oil paintings into the taxi they stopped, and then got into the car with Zhou Lu.

A week later, the auction started as scheduled.

On the day of entering the venue, Fang Xia met the Geng family who were in charge of the auction at the gate of the auction.The person who came was Geng Shuyun, and she brought two offshoots of the Geng family.

Geng Shuyun is still the same as what Fang Xia saw in the old house before, with a cold face and a very difficult appearance, feeling a bit like a replica of Geng Wenqiu.

Wang Ke didn't have an admission ticket, so he waited in the lounge outside the venue.Fang Xia followed Geng Shuyun and the others into the venue. Geng Shuyun didn't say anything, and took the seat corresponding to the admission ticket.Fang Xia ignored them, pulled Fu Jin, found the seats corresponding to their ticket numbers and sat down, waiting for the auction to start.

The seats in the entire venue are arranged in a ladder shape, the front row is the lowest, and the rear row increases gradually. Even if Fang Xia and Fu Jin sit in the back, the view will not be blocked, and the movement on the auction stage will not be blocked. Can see clearly.

The venue was a bit noisy, and most of the bidders were whispering to their companions.Fang Xia scanned the entire venue, and whispered next to Fu Jin, "Do you think there is any Wang family in this venue?"

The news that the sacrificial stone might appear in this auction venue, the Geng family did not disclose the news, but it does not mean that the Wang family will definitely not get the news.The Wang family controls the sects in the Xuanshu circle. Even though the sects may not be as well-connected as the aristocratic family, there are so many people after all, maybe they also got the news.

"Maybe it's there, maybe it's not." Fu Jin said, "If they get the news, they may not necessarily participate in the auction in person."

"Too."

"When the auction of the suspected sacrificial stone collection starts, people who watch the bidding may be able to see some clues." Fu Jin reached out to help Fang Xia tidy up the collar of his shirt - because they attended the auction, they were all dressed more formally today .Fu Jin didn't have any special feelings, but Fang Xia, who was used to dressing casually, felt uncomfortable, and would tug at the collar of his shirt from time to time.

After about ten minutes of touching, the auctioneer came on stage, and the people who were whispering in the venue stopped talking at the same time, and the venue quickly fell silent.

The auctioneer first introduced the Zanglu Auction House - the organizer of this auction. After a little warm-up, the auction officially started.

The auction items include antique calligraphy and paintings, post-modern artworks, and following the introduction of the auctioneer, one after another was sent up for display and then auctioned.Some were taken down, and some were unsold.After about six or seven pieces, the collection of suspected sacrificial stones was finally displayed.

"This is a freehand stone carving of the twelve zodiac signs. It is 80cm long and 50cm wide." The auctioneer raised his voice. With a history of more than 500 years, it is a work carved by the ancients using stones from outside the sky..."

Fang Xia stared at the tiger-shaped stone carving on the jade slab, and whispered to Fu Jin, "Is it a sacrificial stone?"

"It's a sacrificial stone." Fu Jin replied, "There were a lot of people in the venue, the yang energy was heavy, and the yin energy was low. The sacrificial stone didn't respond, but according to the direction of the yin air, it should be a real sacrificial stone."

"Why is the sacrificial stone on that jade slab? It also became a stone carving of the twelve zodiac signs?"

"The sacrificial stone exists independently and does not belong to the stone carving picture. The stone carving picture has a history of only 500 years, while the Kaishan sacrificial stone has existed for more than 2000 years. It should be that the original tiger-shaped stone carving fell off in the stone carving picture It was lost, and the tiger shape of the sacrificial stone happened to be similar to the other zodiac signs above, so it was repaired by later generations as the original."

"You know it really well." Fang Xia turned his head to look at Fu Jin.

Fu Jin shook her head, "Except for the time of the sacrificial stone, the others are just my guesses."

"Well, since you can confirm that the sacrificial stone appeared more than 2000 years ago, that is to say, you are from more than 2000 years ago, so you are at least 2000 years old?"

Fu Jin: "..."

Fang Xia: "Could it be more than 2000 years old?"

Fu Jin raised her hand and pushed Fang Xia's face towards the auction platform, "The bidding has started."

"The reserve price is 180 million, and the auction starts now."

Fang Xia looked sideways at where Geng Shuyun was, just in time to meet Geng Shuyun's gaze.As soon as their eyes met, Fang Xia knew that the other party was asking about the authenticity of the sacrificial stone.The venue was very sunny, Fu Jin could make accurate judgments, but it was difficult for the Warlock to distinguish.

"200 million." Fang Xia sat up straight and raised his placard to bid.

He didn't want to participate in the bidding, he was signaling to Geng Shuyun that the sacrificial stone was real.

After Fang Xia made an offer, someone raised the price soon, and Geng Shuyun also started raising placards to participate in the bidding.

The bidding was handed over to Geng Shuyun, and Fang Xia began to pay attention to other bidders in the venue.Although the Wang family may not have participated in this auction, it is always right to pay attention.

Not many people participated in the zodiac stone carving competition, and those who bid did not intend to win. After Geng Shuyun bid 300 million, no one continued to bid.In the end, the auctioneer announced that the transaction was 300 million—Geng Shuyun won the stone carving picture inlaid with sacrificial stones.
