Chapter 3: The Goddess in My Dream, Su Xianzi

  Hearing someone call out his name, Xuán Qí's heart skipped a beat. He thought Old Zhang might have changed his mind and wanted the Qinghua porcelain vase back.

  He turned around and saw an old man wearing a Zhongshan suit walking quickly towards him, with a girl in purple clothes running after him.

  Xuan Qi secretly let out a breath of relief in his heart. He stood still, waiting for the old man's arrival, while guessing the purpose of the old man's visit.

  The old man approached, looking to be around sixty years old, with a head of short white hair standing upright, looking very spirited. His gait was steady and powerful, wearing a pair of thousand-layered cloth shoes on his feet.

  Xuan Qi took one look at the old man and immediately knew he was definitely not a local. He had an air of nobility about him, which was not something ordinary people possessed.

  The old man walked quickly all the way, not even panting, with a calm demeanor. He chuckled and said, "Young friend, I'm afraid I've been a bit too presumptuous."

  Xuan Qi asked: "Sir, you're looking for me, is there something I can help you with?"

  "I just came out of the Bao Ta Village, and I heard that you bought the vase he dug up?" The old man said this while looking at the self-made paper box in Xuan Qi's arms.

  Xuan Qi's mind was indeed like that. He had just arrived here and hadn't interacted with anyone else, so the other person must have come for this bottle.

  Xuan Qi also did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes."

  The old man asked: "I have an unreasonable request, I don't know if you can lend me a look?"

  At this time, the girl who was following behind the old man also came to their side. Xuan Qi only saw clearly at this time that the girl was actually a super beauty, and judging from her age, she should be around 15 or 16 years old.

  All he saw was her face flushing, panting continuously, and her high chest rising and falling rapidly with her urgent breathing, so beautiful that it was stunning. Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment because he found that this little girl looked very similar to someone in his memory.

  The little girl was stared at by him so boldly, like a frightened little rabbit, and directly hid behind the old man.

  "Cough... little friend?" The old man coughed twice to remind him.

  Xuan Qi was taken aback for a moment, his old face turned red, and after coming back to himself, he thought for a moment before finally saying: "Of course it's possible."

  After finishing speaking, Xuan Qi squatted down on the spot, opened the paper box, and revealed the Qinghua porcelain bottle inside.

  The old man also squatted down, carefully observing, his movements were extremely careful and steady, one look knew he was a professional, after looking for a while, he didn't know where to take out a magnifying glass, it was simply inch by inch observation.

  The little girl kept placing a pair of black eyes on Xuan Qi's body, seemingly very curious about Xuan Qi's identity.

  The old man's expression didn't change, and after looking at it for about five minutes, the old man stood up, while Xuan Qi put the bottle back into the paper box.

  "Sir, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

  "Hold on," said the old man. "I've also taken a liking to this vase, may I ask if you'd be willing to part with it?"

  In fact, Xuán Qí had already guessed that this old man was the potential buyer of the vase, and might even be the person who spent 10,000 yuan to buy it from Old Zhang back then.

  Xuan Qi had just bought the vase and was thinking about how to get rid of it quickly. Now, looking at the old man in front of him, he seemed like a good buyer, but Xuan Qi didn't know how much money he would be willing to pay.

  The old man saw that Xuán Qí was somewhat hesitant, and continued: "My surname is Sū, I don't have any hobbies usually, just like collecting some antiques. Originally, I heard from a friend that a vase had been unearthed here, so I came to take a look, but didn't expect to be beaten to it by a young friend. I just took a look, and I really like it, hoping you can transfer it to me."

  "This octagonal jade spring bottle with a branch of flowers was originally a gift I bought for my grandfather, but since you like it, I'm willing to let you have it and make your wish come true. The only question is how much Old Su is willing to pay."

  Xuan Qi finished speaking and smiled at the other person with a hint of amusement.

  Su Lao's expression changed slightly, and he said: "It seems that you are a connoisseur. I was too rash earlier. How about this? I'll give you 5 million, what do you think?"

  "Eight hundred thousand, a fixed price." Xuan Qi continued, "Since young master Su is a true collector, I won't bother with the details."

  Su Lao's eyebrows furrowed: "Eight hundred thousand..."

  Xuan Qi smiled and said, "This eight-sided jade vase spring bottle, if it were to be put up for auction, I estimate the price would be around 1.2 million. Su Lao, if not for the fact that Xiao Zi is a bit short on cash right now, he wouldn't have considered giving the gift meant for Grandfather to you instead."

  "You little scamp!" Old Su chuckled and scolded, "The prices at the auction are often inflated in a specific environment. You're using that as a standard, which is a bit too high. But who can blame this old man for liking this vase? Eight million it is, then. How do you want to make the deal?"

  Xuan Qi's surface was calm at this moment, but his heart was racing wildly. The number 800,000, which he had never dared to think about before, was now within his grasp.

  "Su Lao, if I said that the 800,000 unit is not RMB but USD, would you hit me?" Xuan Qi said with a straight face.

  "How dare you!" A bright and crisp voice came from the side, it was the little girl who had been silent beside the old man. She was now staring at Xuan Qi with a puffed up face.

  Su's face also suddenly froze. If it was really like that, then his impression of the young man in front of him would be greatly discounted, and he could completely believe that he had been intentionally teasing himself before.

  Xuan Qi chuckled and said, "Just kidding, just kidding. Mr. Su, if you really want to buy it, we can go to the county bank together right now, one hand with the money and the other hand with the goods. What do you think?"

  Su Lao heard this and agreed happily. He made a phone call, and soon a black Audi drove slowly over. They went to the county town together.

  About half an hour later, Xuán Qí's bank account had increased by 800,000 RMB. Until this moment, his thumping heart gradually stabilized.

  "Goodbye, old Su, it was a pleasure working with you, we'll meet again someday." Xuan Qi said with a clear and refreshing tone.

  Su Lao was also very satisfied and smiled: "Hehe, we should have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

  Xuan Qi dodged behind Old Su and made a face at Su Mengxue, then swung her hand with a flourish and floated away.

  In Xuan Qi's memory, Su Meng Xue would soon set foot in the music and film industries, quickly becoming a household name and a superstar, as well as the dream goddess of many otaku hearts, known as "Su Xian Zi".

  It was extremely puzzling and regrettable to everyone that this Su Xianzi disappeared suddenly from people's sight shortly after becoming famous, and never appeared again. Some said she married into a wealthy family and became a rich lady, while others said she suffered from an incurable disease and was bedridden, unable to sing anymore.

  Xuan Qi was also a loyal fan of Su Meng Xue at first, and he had been saddened by her sudden retirement. Of course, he was just an ordinary one among the many fans, his dream girl, someone he could only imagine in his dreams, not someone he could aspire to with his current status.

  He didn't expect that this time he would be reborn and meet Su Mengxue, who had not yet debuted, in such a situation, so at first he was somewhat flustered.

  Although Xuan Qi is now a reborn person with 15 more years of memories than others, he doesn't think he's qualified to have any intersection with Su Mengxue. He still has some self-awareness, so he didn't think much about it and thought that tangible wealth was more practical. When he thought of the string of numbers in his bank account, he felt his whole body go soft and all his cells were filled with vitality.

  Su Lao muttered to himself after he left: "Xiangnan Xuanjia, isn't it said that they have already declined? It seems that rumors are not necessarily trustworthy. At least this young master of the Xuan family is quite extraordinary."

  "Grandpa, is the Xuan family in Xiangnan very famous? The surname Xuan is really rare, isn't it?"

  "Although the Xiangnan Mystic House is not well-known, its status in the Jianghu is extremely transcendent. However, for over a hundred years, it has rarely been seen in the Jianghu, and rumors have circulated that it suffered a great calamity and was thoroughly defeated. Now it seems that these rumors are somewhat unfounded."

  Su Mengxue looked in the direction where Xuan Qi left, her bright and clear big eyes twinkling, wondering what she was thinking.
