However, when Ye Hao and Tang Xiaoyun appeared laughing and chatting at Yihe Tea House, Qian Xiaosheng's smile instantly faded...
The outside of the private room in Yihe Tea House couldn't see inside, but from inside, one could see outside, so Qian Xiaosheng knew when Ye Hao and Tang Xiaoyun arrived.
Qian Xiaosheng originally thought that without any sound, Ye Hao wouldn't know he was in that room, yet Ye Hao and Tang Xiaoyun headed straight towards his room.
Qian Xiaosheng was taken aback again. Did Ye Hao somehow know he was in this room without leaving any trace? Could it be that Ye Hao sent someone to follow him? But that was impossible, right? After all, his Body Technique wasn't something ordinary people could trace; even if someone followed him, he would know.
But no one was following him, and no one was watching him! How did Ye Hao know he was in this room?
Though puzzled, Qian Xiaosheng's face didn't show any sign of confusion; instead, he put on an expression as if he had anticipated Ye Hao entering this room.
Ye Hao saw Qian Xiaosheng's change of expression in the eighth generation system, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but since Qian Xiaosheng was so mysterious, Ye Hao still felt it was best to be friendly and make a good acquaintance.
Ye Hao and Tang Xiaoyun pushed open the door to enter, and when Tang Xiaoyun saw Qian Xiaosheng, her smile instantly fell, glaring displeasedly at Ye Hao and said, "So you're in cahoots with him?"
"Huh?" Ye Hao looked at Tang Xiaoyun in astonishment.
Qian Xiaosheng also looked at Tang Xiaoyun in shock, thinking to himself: Could it be that Ye Hao wasn't just an excuse Tang Xiaoyun used to reject him?
"Speak up! Do you know Qian Xiaosheng? Are you deliberately colluding with him?" Tang Xiaoyun asked Ye Hao, wide-eyed.
"What do you mean?" Ye Hao was confused. He hadn't even met Qian Xiaosheng yet, so how could they be colluding?
"You..." Tang Xiaoyun thought Ye Hao was pretending, angrily pointing at him, "I didn't think you were this kind of person, playing matchmaker poorly."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Ye Hao couldn't figure it out and decided to ignore her, walking straight to sit opposite Qian Xiaosheng.
Tang Xiaoyun stomped her foot in anger, not sitting down but instead standing at the door, planning to listen to what Ye Hao and Qian Xiaosheng had to say.
Qian Xiaosheng, seeing this, helplessly said to Tang Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, today is the first time we've arranged to meet. He called me out to chat, don't get it wrong."
"What's there to explain? I didn't even know she was coming to my place, and then I brought her along without thinking." Ye Hao spread his hands, showing he didn't know Tang Xiaoyun and Qian Xiaosheng knew each other.
Tang Xiaoyun was taken aback, right! Ye Hao didn't know she was coming to his place, and then he said he was meeting someone, so she asked to tag along.
Thus, the two of them came to this Yihe Tea House laughing and chatting.
It all seemed unplanned, and if Ye Hao had anticipated all this, how impressive would he have to be?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoyun walked a few steps forward and asked, "Are you guys really not in cahoots?"
"Haha, what reason would I have to deceive you by colluding with someone else? Before you came to my Dragon and Phoenix Castle, I didn't even know your name was Tang Xiaoyun." Ye Hao shook his head with a smile.
"Makes sense; maybe I was rash, sorry!" One had to admit that Tang Xiaoyun's change of face was quick; one moment she was cold and sarcastic, the next, understanding the situation, she reverted to her previous demeanor.
"It's nothing, I called Qian Xiaosheng out today just to ask for a wager, didn't expect you to know him too." Ye Hao said with a smile.
"You don't look like someone so petty; why sound so petty when you speak? Do you even look like you're here to ask for a wager?" Qian Xiaosheng said, curling his lips.
"What wager?" Tang Xiaoyun looked at the two, puzzled.
Ye Hao and Qian Xiaosheng ignored her words, Ye Hao laughed, "When I win, of course, I need to take back my principal and winnings, just like you, don't you sell things at high prices? It's a willing transaction, isn't it?"
Ye Hao's words made Qian Xiaosheng nod, Qian Xiaosheng laughed, "I sell things at high prices because they are worth it. How about I return one billion to you and use the other billion to buy information? I'll give you some explosive information, something you'd never imagine."
"Oh? Is it that explosive? Seems you've got quite the collection here!" Ye Hao said with a smile.
"Of course! Modern times, middle ages, ancient times, and so on, I've got some knowledge of each." Qian Xiaosheng said a few things nonsensical to Tang Xiaoyun.
"Haha, I also know a bit about our sky's fifth era." Ye Xiao said, smiling.
At this moment, Ye Hao wanted to test how much Qian Xiaosheng actually knew. And Qian Xiaosheng's talk of modern ages, middle ages, ancient times was simply to see if Ye Hao knew how many eras earth had gone through.
But when Qian Xiaosheng heard Ye Hao say it was the fifth era, his pupils contracted slightly, though very subtly, it didn't escape the eyes of Ye Hao's eighth-generation system.
"Seems like you know quite a bit! Here's two billion more, for the rest of the items, let's explore each other's needs, how about it?" Knowing that Ye Hao also had some non-modern secret events piqued Qian Xiaosheng's interest, he directly handed over Ye Hao's principal over one billion and the one billion won.
Ye Hao didn't mind and cheerfully accepted the bank card.
At this point, Tang Xiaoyun was even more confused, just what were Qian Xiaosheng and Ye Hao talking about?
"What exactly are you two talking about? Why don't I understand a single word?"
"Secret, some secrets that ordinary people shouldn't know." Qian Xiaosheng and Ye Hao said simultaneously.
After speaking, they exchanged glances, and Ye Hao laughed, "Qian, perhaps we can become very good friends in the future!"
"I very much look forward to it, for the past events, I'm also keen to know, hoping the next era doesn't come too soon." Qian Xiaosheng said with a smile, yet there was a trace of concern in his brows, as if worried about something.
"Still close to three hundred years, perhaps, it really is coming." Ye Hao suddenly fell silent.
Hearing this, Qian Xiaosheng looked at Ye Hao in surprise, and then as if thinking of something, Qian Xiaosheng said, "Ye, today isn't convenient, how about we discuss other matters another time?"
"Sure, let's talk about other things then, today let's just enjoy tea." Ye Hao smiled.
Afterwards, Ye Hao and Qian Xiaosheng chatted about various little-known strange events from all over, leaving Tang Xiaoyun bewildered.
From this conversation, Tang Xiaoyun realized that there were many talents and aspects of Qian Xiaosheng she hadn't been aware of.
Previously, she thought Qian Xiaosheng was just a man full of sweet-talking and flowery words.
But today, her perception of Qian Xiaosheng changed. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
