Chapter 20 Chengying
Through the window.
Alkaid looked at her.
She seemed to be looking back at Alkaid.
Their eyes met.
In her wide-open eyes, there was a profound longing to live.
Just like not long ago when she jumped out of that minibus, desperately trying to escape.
But that last time, she survived.
This time, she was dead.
For a moment, there was silence.
The next moment, Lin Xiaowei, Zhang Qing, Xia Wuyuan, and others all had a sudden change in expression.
"Quick! Call an ambulance!"
"Go to the surveillance room immediately, figure out from which floor she jumped, and then investigate!"
"There are marks on her body from being bound with a rope; some injuries... they don't seem to be from the fall..."
The group hurriedly rushed out of the Migade Collection Gallery's reception room while speaking.
However, as Lin Xiaowei was about to rush out, she paused.
She turned her head to face Alkaid with a serious expression, "I'll be keeping an eye on you!"
After saying this, she followed the pace of Xia Wuyuan, Zhang Qing, and the others.
Alkaid calmly stood up and walked to the window.
Watching the pedestrians next to her scream in fright, everyone scattered in all directions.
He looked at Lin Xiaowei, Zhang Qing, Xia Wuyuan, and the others as they first responded by going against the fleeing crowd, trying to rescue Yu Xiaoying.
But in the end, they could only helplessly remove their clothes to cover her.
"Thump thump."
A gentle knocking at the door broke the quiet atmosphere of the reception room.
"Young Master Su... there's been an accident outside, would you prefer to..."
The voice of Director Fang came through.
"Where's my sword?"
Alkaid asked.
"It's here."
The door was quickly pushed open, Director Fang and Zhang Qing entered from outside.
Upon seeing this, Alkaid pulled down the blinds.
This left Zhang Qing, who was curious about what was happening outside, with no choice but to suppress his eagerness for gossip.
Accompanying Director Fang were also two staff members.
They were carrying a rack with the ancient Chengying Sword placed on it.
The Chengying Sword was longer than any sword Alkaid had used before.
The total length was over ninety centimeters.
The material it was made from was unknown, as the whole body was transparent.
If you didn't look closely, you couldn't even see the blade, just the hilt.
This design immediately caught the eye of Alkaid who possessed the Formless secret technique.
He went straight to the Chengying Sword and picked it up.
The Chengying Sword was relatively slender, but it wasn't light, weighing over six jin.
This showed its special material, certainly not steel.
Alkaid flicked his finger against it.
Even if the Su Family was unwilling, he could still collaborate with other forces.
While a Grandmaster might not reach the level of a Martial Saint, who is welcomed by the Royal Family and establishes their own Noble Family, they would not be far behind a family with provincial-level influence.
It wasn't long before the museum director returned.
"Mr. Ou is very much looking forward to your visit, Young Master Su."
She said with a smile, "Someone will come down soon to invite Young Master Su over."
"Thank you."
Alkaid gave a slight nod.
"Is Young Master Su interested in weapons? If Migade Collection Gallery acquires a new famous weapon, may we invite Young Master Su?"
"Sure,"
Alkaid responded, "If you can find a Treasure or a Divine Weapon, that would be ideal."
Treasure, Divine Weapon?
The museum director smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
Such treasures worth hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions, were beyond the reach of Migade Collection Gallery.
However, speaking of Treasures, something seemed to come to her mind.
"The Wanfa Commerce Association, with whom we have a good partnership, holds an annual auction every October, gathering rare items from around the world. Three months ago, they acquired a Treasure from a declining ancient sect, and it's very likely to be auctioned off at this year's event. If Young Master Su is interested, you might want to look into it."
"Wanfa Commerce Association."
Alkaid nodded upon hearing this.
At that moment, a woman, looking to be under thirty and dressed in a women's shirt, entered.
"Secretary Ding."
The museum director greeted her and introduced, "This is Young Master Su."
The woman referred to as Secretary Ding nodded and turned to Alkaid with a smile, "Young Master Su, please come with me. President Ou has long admired the Bu Zhou Group and has always wanted to visit Old Master Su."
Alkaid stood up and followed Secretary Ding out of the Migade Collection Gallery and to an exclusive elevator.
Soon, the elevator reached the twenty-second floor.
This was also the office level reserved by Yulong International.
"Please come this way."
Secretary Ding gestured and led Alkaid inside.
Alkaid glanced around.
The exit from the elevator was a hotel-like lobby, opulently decorated with several muscular men and women stationed in various corners.
There were also some staff members moving back and forth.
As soon as Alkaid exited the elevator, two people's gazes fell on him.
But when they saw that Secretary Ding had brought him up, they shifted their attention away.
Alkaid followed Secretary Ding through the lobby, which resembled a palace, and proceeded down a corridor deep inside, walking several tens of meters.
However, when they passed the third intersection, Alkaid stopped.
"Young Master Su, this way please,"
Secretary Ding called out.
Alkaid ignored her and went straight to another intersection, striding forward.
"Young Master Su?"
Secretary Ding hurried after him.
But Alkaid, appearing to walk at a leisurely pace, covered great distances with each step, and Secretary Ding, even while jogging, couldn't keep up.
Before long, Alkaid stopped outside an office labeled "Director".
"Young Master Su..."
Before Secretary Ding could speak to stop him, he had already pushed the door and entered.
