Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

Chapter 156: Oh my goodness, isn’t this the 9-door admiral?

Yu Haitang smiled happily, two deep dimples appeared on her delicate face, and her eyes sparkled with bright joy, like two shining stars.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I am really happy." Yu Haitang said gratefully. She waved to everyone and said she would definitely come to play with them next time.

Yu Haitang turned around and left briskly. She was in a very happy mood, full of expectations and longings for the future. She believed that they would have a better time the next time they met.

At this time, the other three women could no longer resist the invasion of sleepiness. The eldest sister went back to her room to sleep, and Qin Jingru also went back to her room to rest, leaving Lou Xiao'e alone. When she saw that there was no one around, she immediately became active. She tenderly asked Li Dongyu to carry her into the room to sleep.

Faced with Lou Xiao'e's coquetry, Li Dongyu smiled helplessly and had to do as he was told. He picked up Lou Xiao'e and walked into the house. After watching Lou Xiao'e fall asleep peacefully, Li Dongyu gently closed the door and began to organize his belongings.

After packing up, Li Dongyu decided to go out for a walk to see if there was a chance to receive some precious items. After all, the more good things there are, the better. Moreover, as the head of the purchasing department, he needs to treat the work of purchasing materials more attentively in order to have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher position.

So, Li Dongyu went out with great joy in his heart.

As soon as he arrived at the front door, he saw Yan Jiecheng and the bride Yu Li who were preparing to go back home together, and Yu Haitang standing on the side. Seeing this, Li Dongyu simply looked at them and greeted them, but Yu Haitang was very excited.

"Brother Dongyu, are you going out?"

Li Dongyu saw that the 17-year-old Yu Haitang was really full of youth and vitality, with long black hair, fair skin, delicate features, a pair of bright and energetic big eyes, and two deep dimples when she smiled, which was very charming. However, when Li Dongyu nodded to Yan Bugui who was not far away, why did Yan Bugui look at him in a strange way? Puzzled, Li Dongyu also responded to Yu Haitang.

"Yes, Haitang, I have to go out. Go find your sister. I'll leave first."

Seeing this, Yu Haitang just watched Li Dongyu disappear at the gate of the compound with full of love.

Li Dongyu walked out of the courtyard, still thinking about Yan Bugui's strange look. He shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore and concentrate on finding the treasure.

As he walked, Li Dongyu came to the entrance of a small alley. He heard a quarrel inside and walked in curiously. He saw two people fighting over an antique vase, neither of them was willing to give in.

Li Dongyu's eyes lit up. This was a rare good thing! He immediately stepped forward and stopped the quarrel between the two. "You two, stop arguing! How about this, I'll offer a fair price, what do you think?"

The two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Li Dongyu's proposal. Li Dongyu successfully bought the vase and was secretly happy.

He continued to walk forward holding the vase, and when no one was paying attention, he put the vase into the space, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. However, when Li Dongyu walked out from the corner, his eyes were attracted by the scene in front of him.

In front of a house not far away, sat an old man with silver hair. The old man looked a little old, but his eyes were unusually bright, as if they could see through the depths of a person's soul. These eyes were full of vitality and wisdom, forming a sharp contrast with his slightly vicissitudes of life.

The old man sat there quietly, seemingly thinking about something. His expression was peaceful and calm, giving people a sense of being at peace with the world. His presence seemed to blend into the surrounding environment and become a part of this place.

Li Dongyu could not help being attracted by the old man. He stopped and observed him quietly. He found that the old man exuded a special breath, which made him feel both strange and familiar. He didn't know why he had such a strong interest in this old man, but deep in his heart he told him that this person must have unusual experiences and stories.

Li Dongyu approached the old man and asked softly, "Hello, old sir. What are you doing here?" The old man raised his head, looked at Li Dongyu with a smile, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Young man, can you see me?"

Li Dongyu was a little confused, but still nodded.

The old man smiled, pointed to a chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Li Dongyu sat down curiously, and the old man slowly said: "I've been waiting for someone here for a long time."

Li Dongyu asked, "Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Someone who can solve the mystery in my heart."

Li Dongyu became even more curious and thought that maybe he could help this mysterious old man.

He then asked, “What is the mystery in your mind?”

The old man looked at Li Dongyu and said, "This mystery is related to the whereabouts of a rare treasure. Only by finding it can I fulfill my wish."

Li Dongyu's heart was moved. A rare treasure? This aroused Li Dongyu's greater curiosity.

"I wonder if you could tell me what kind of rare treasure this is that could fascinate you so much?"

Seeing Li Dongyu like this, the old man said directly: "Young man, do you think you are the rare and precious jade that I have been waiting for?"

Li Dongyu was stunned when he heard what the old man said. How did he get involved in the conversation about rare treasures? He had to wait to find out the whereabouts of the treasure and then take it back to the main world to see if he could make himself richer.

So he asked with some doubt: "The old man is joking!"

Who would have thought that the old man would look Li Dongyu up and down with a different expression and then continue to say: "Young man, I, the Nine Gates Admiral Guan, have never been bad at judging people or things, so when I say that you are a rare and precious jade, you must be one, and there is no need to belittle yourself!"

"What? Old man, you said you are known as the Nine Gates Admiral Guan?" After hearing this, Li Dongyu frowned slightly, with a look of confusion and surprise in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask again. He seemed to doubt whether he had heard it wrong just now, or whether the old man was just joking. After all, the Nine Gates Admiral was an official position in the Qing Dynasty, and it no longer exists. And according to his understanding, the old man in this courtyard who can be called the Nine Gates Admiral is not the old man Guan under the Zhengyang Gate? If so, it's a bit confusing. Aren't they all mixed together?

The old man Guan, who called himself the Nine Gates Admiral, was also confused by Li Dongyu's reaction. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Has my reputation as the Nine Gates Admiral begun to spread all over the country? Even a stranger knows of my existence?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud and complacent.
