When the two of them got out of the car, they saw that the middle-aged man was already waiting for them.

"Please follow me in."

When the middle-aged man saw Zhao Anqi and Zhou Mingrui alighting from the car, he immediately came forward to greet them.

Then, he brought the two of them to the place they had reserved for dinner. It was a high-class restaurant that was similar to the Michelin restaurant on earth in his previous life.

Sitting at the table, the middle-aged man tidied his clothes and introduced himself, "My name is Chen Hao. You can just call me Brother Hao. I have my own company, and I'm running a small business."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, he realized that neither Zhou Mingrui nor Zhao Anqi said a word. He could only smile awkwardly.

"Little brother, you said in the auction house that there was a problem with the Myriad Soul Flower that I bought. Can you tell me more about it?"

After saying this, Chen Hao quickly added, "If there's really a problem, I, Chen Hao, will definitely give you a corresponding reward. I definitely won't treat you shabbily."

Zhou Mingrui turned his head and exchanged a look with Zhao Anqi. Then, he turned back and said, "Believe it or not, I've read in a book that the Myriad Soul Flower is actually a type of parasitic creature."

Hearing this, Chen Hao had a shocked expression. "Brother, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Zhou Mingrui snorted with laughter. "If you didn't believe me, you wouldn't have said that."

Chen Hao's expression turned unsightly because anyone who saw the appearance of the Myriad Soul Flower would feel a chill in their heart.

If it wasn't for the one at home who urgently needed to improve, he wouldn't have bid for such a thing.

"If you really consume the Myriad Soul Flower, it can indeed strengthen your consciousness in the beginning. However, at the same time, the consciousness hidden in the Myriad Soul Flower will penetrate deep into your consciousness."

Zhou Mingrui continued slowly. "You won't even realize it. By the time your cultivation level reaches a certain level, the Myriad Soul Flower will have become a symbiotic entity with you."

"At that time, neither a human nor a ghost would be enough to describe you, a walking corpse."

Chen Hao felt a chill run down his spine when he heard that. He immediately took out the Myriad Soul Flower from his bag. With that, he immediately trusted Zhou Mingrui's words even more.

"Why didn't those bastards from Treasure Gathering Pavilion say so earlier? They actually auctioned this kind of thing to us. Where did their so-called credibility go?" Chen Hao said angrily.

"It's useless because Treasure Gathering Pavilion probably doesn't know about this situation either. After all, their group of treasure appraisers isn't omnipotent."

"And before you enter the auction house, you will have to sign the non-responsibility agreement. So, once you walk out of the auction house, everything that happens to the items will have nothing to do with them." Zhou Mingrui explained.

Bang!

Chen Hao lightly slammed the table. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down.

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Then, what should I do with the Myriad Soul Flower?"

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui also noticed Chen Hao's guarded look.

"Brother Chen, don't worry. I won't take the Myriad Soul Flower. How you want to deal with it is your business. I'm just saying what I should say."

Zhou Mingrui did not directly point out the other party's distrust. He only expressed his own words.

"No, no, no, brother, I really don't mean it that way. I'm just feeling helpless that after spending so much money to bid for this item, it's useless and harmful in the end. I can't calm down."

Zhou Mingrui laughed coldly in his heart when he saw Chen Hao's frustrated look. However, he still maintained a smile on his face and said, "How you deal with that thing is up to you, Brother. I won't ask much. Let's eat."

Frowning deeply, Chen Hao felt very uncomfortable this time. Right now, he was in a dilemma.

It was up to him to use it, but given the current situation and the Myriad Soul Flower's appearance, how could he possibly use it again when he already had a knot in his heart?

He had spent so much money on this thing, and if he didn't use it, was he going to throw it away?

As for selling it, how could Chen Hao, who had a big business, lack this money? He was also unwilling to suffer this loss.

However, looking at Zhou Mingrui and the girl who had no intention of saying anything as they were both enjoying the food that was served to them made Chen Hao even more sullen.

"Then... Then Brother Zhou, since you know about the Myriad Soul Flower's side effects, do you know how to deal with it?" Chen Hao probed.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. If you have a solution, I will definitely reward you handsomely. I will definitely not treat you shabbily."

Zhou Mingrui put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked up at Chen Hao. A few seconds later, he said, "What if I don't?"

Chen Hao's breathing stopped for a moment, and then he could only smile bitterly. "It's fine. In that case, I'll just take it as a loss in business."

"Brother Chen, why don't you just sell it to someone else? Why would you lose money?" Zhao Anqi laughed.

Chen Hao immediately waved his hand and said, " I, Chen Hao, have always done things according to my heart. I don't know how to do such a thing, and I won't do it. Since I know the disadvantages of this thing, I'd rather keep it in my hands than sell it to others."

Zhao Anqi clapped her hands and laughed. "Brother Chen, you're just like my dad. He is a man of justice. He will never do anything evil."

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "What's your name, little sister?"

"My father is Zhao Desheng." Zhao Anqi replied.

"Hahaha, so it's Brother Zhao. Then it'll be easy to talk."

Chen Hao immediately burst out laughing.

Then, he turned to Zhao Anqi and said, "Since you're Brother Zhao's daughter, then this matter is easy to deal with. I don't want this thing anymore. Do you guys want it?"

"Don't try to play dumb with me. I, Chen Hao, have been in society for decades. What can't I see?"

Zhou Mingrui merely gave a faint smile and did not reply. However, Zhao Anqi took the initiative to speak first, "Since that's the case, I'll make it clear. Zhou Mingrui is telling the truth. We really can't use the Myriad Soul Flower."

"Although he didn't tell me, I can guess that he should be able to use the Myriad Soul Flower by relying on the uniqueness of his body."

"Uniqueness?" Chen Hao raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, he's actually a summoned spirit." Zhao Anqi said.

"No wonder. Then everything makes sense." The doubt in Chen Hao's heart was finally cleared.

He rapped his fingers on the table and said, "How about this? I'll believe your words, and I'll give you the Myriad Soul Flower."

After saying that, Chen Hao pulled over the rectangular suitcase next to him and handed it to Zhao Anqi.

"Then I need the money to..."

Before Zhao Anqi could finish her sentence, Chen Hao waved his hand and interrupted her, "What money? I still owe Brother Zhao a few favors. There's no need to say more."

"You're kind enough to remind me and help me avoid a disaster. If I still take your money, then I can't stay in society anymore."

"Come, come, come. Let's not talk about these things anymore. Let's eat!"
