After saying goodbye to Wu Mei, Liu Zixuan went directly to Zhou Lunatic's auction house.
The auction house is located on the west side of Ghost Wood City's downtown, which is quite a distance from where Liu Zixuan lives and works.
About forty minutes' drive later, he stopped at the entrance of an auction house called 'Treasure Hall'.
The entire Treasure Hall occupies about three to four thousand square meters. Although it's near the suburbs, just this piece of land alone is probably worth a lot of money.
Looking at the grand auction house, Liu Zixuan laughed and said, "How many treasures must be inside here? This Zhou Lunatic must be super rich!"
Mumbling to himself, he also walked inside.
"Sir, you're late, today's auction has already ended." As soon as he entered the inner hall, a young man walked over and said.
"I'm looking for your boss Zhou!"
"Looking for our boss? What's the matter?" The young man asked with a strange look on his face.
Liu Zixuan smiled: "Coming here to find your boss, what else could it be besides matters of treasure?"
"Treasure? You must be an outsider, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Zixuan was a bit surprised: "What do you mean by that?"
"Anyone who knows about Treasure Hall, or who comes here to auction, calls our boss Zhou Lunatic. You're the first one to call him boss Zhou!" The young man explained.
Liu Zixuan scratched his head. He always thought Zhou Lunatic was what people called him behind his back, but it turns out it's just like his name!
He chuckled awkwardly, "I've always been in East City, so I don't know much."
"Come on, I'll take you to see him. He's in a good mood today. If you have treasures to sell him, maybe he will give you a good price."
With that, the young man led Liu Zixuan to the back of Treasure Hall.
At the door of a large office, the young man stopped, "You can go in by yourself. Zhou Lunatic is inside!"
"Thanks." Liu Zixuan smiled at the young man and lightly knocked twice on the door.
"What's with the knocking, just come in!" came an annoyed voice from inside.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, and as soon as he pushed open the door, Zhou Lunatic gave him a head-to-toe scolding!
"Don't you know you shouldn't knock on my office door? That door is made of century-old red pine. If you damage it, are you going to pay for it?"
Liu Zixuan's mouth twitched a few times, "Zhou..."
"Zhou what Zhou, who the hell are you?" Zhou Lunatic didn't give Liu Zixuan a chance to speak!
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, "My name is Liu Zixuan. I'm here to see you today."
"Show it."
Once again, Zhou Lunatic interrupted Liu Zixuan before he could finish speaking.
"Show what?" Liu Zixuan looked puzzled.
"The treasure, of course. Isn't everyone who comes to me here to auction their treasures?" Zhou Lunatic sat in his chair, legs crossed, looking quite at ease.
"My treasure is a bit large, and it's not just one piece." Liu Zixuan thought for a while. Zhou Lunatic seemed to be a typical businessman. If he talked things over nicely, it might not go anywhere. So he started playing riddles with him.
Zhou Lunatic suddenly became interested and turned to Liu Zixuan, asking, "What's the situation? Tell me in detail!"
"I got a reliable message that there's an ancient tomb in Ghost Wood City, full of treasures." Liu Zixuan paused and smiled meaningfully, "And I heard from others that you're an expert in this area, so I wanted to cooperate with you. I'll only take a small portion of the treasures inside. The rest is all yours!"
Zhou Lunatic frowned, "Offering me so many benefits right off the bat? Are you sure you're not trying to trick me?"
"What reason do I have to trick you?" Liu Zixuan spread his hands, "Besides, I'm giving you so many benefits for free. Could it be that you don't want them?"
Zhou Lunatic thought about it and felt that what Liu Zixuan said made sense, so he asked, "Where is this ancient tomb?"
"I really don't know where the ancient tomb is at the moment. I only know that it's definitely in Ghost Wood City!" Liu Zixuan said.
"That's not much of a clue, how are we supposed to find it? Ghost Wood City is huge. Am I supposed to turn the entire city upside down for a few treasures?" Zhou Lunatic said irritably.
Liu Zixuan pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that you're very familiar with where the treasures are in Ghost Wood City, where the tombs are, so it should be easy for you to find. And the tomb is rumored to be called the 'Seven-Star Tomb'."
Zhou Lunatic was playing with a pencil in his hand, but when he heard the words 'Seven-Star Tomb', he suddenly snapped the pencil.
He stared at Liu Zixuan with wide eyes, "Seven-Star Tomb?"
"Have you heard of it?" Liu Zixuan's eyes lit up, asking eagerly.
"No, no!"
Zhou Lunatic got up from his chair and started pushing Liu Zixuan out, "I've never heard of any Seven-Star Tomb. I'm not interested in those tombs. You better leave, I won't cooperate with you!"
Liu Zixuan was taken aback, Zhou Lunatic seemed a bit overly aggressive, didn't he?
And his attitude changed so quickly, as if he was very afraid of the Seven-Star Tomb.
It's not hard to hear that Zhou Lunatic definitely knows about the Seven-Star Tomb, but for some reason, he doesn't want to face it or is genuinely afraid!
When he was pushed to the door, Zhou Lunatic was about to close the door to shut him out, but Liu Zixuan, being a martial artist, had great strength, and he pushed back the door and stood in the doorway, "Boss Zhou, I hope you consider carefully, I'll only take a fraction of the treasure. The rest is all yours!"
"Even if it's all mine, I won't go." Zhou Lunatic cursed, "Are you leaving or not?"
"What if I don't leave?"
"Then I'll leave!"
Who knew Zhou Lunatic wouldn't play by the rules and just brushed past Liu Zixuan and walked out.
Leaving Liu Zixuan quite helpless, what kind of person is this?
He shook his head in disappointment and left Treasure Hall.
According to Wu Mei, to find the Seven-Star Tomb, Zhou Lunatic's help is essential. If not today, Liu Zixuan would come back tomorrow. He must get Zhou Lunatic to agree!
Standing by his car, Liu Zixuan looked at the characters for Treasure Hall and murmured softly, "If I can win over the most beautiful women, I surely can handle you, you old fox!"
Little did he know, after Liu Zixuan drove away, Zhou Lunatic appeared at the entrance of Treasure Hall.
Gazing at the brightly lit city, he sighed softly, "Seven-Star Tomb? How could I not know that there's treasure there? If it were that easy to get, I'd have acted long ago. Do you not know that the Seven-Star Tomb is also called the Ghost Gate?"
As the night life filled with the hustle and bustle began, Zhou Lunatic's words were whisked away by the evening breeze, unheard by anyone else...
