Soon, the car arrived at a quiet suburban courtyard. This kind of small courtyard looked very unremarkable and was located on the lakeside. Most people might not be able to find it, but it was a winding path that led to a completely different world.
Entering the lobby, there were two rows of master chairs in an antique hall. The style of the master chairs was also very simple, but the value of this kind of master chairs was at least 10,000 yuan.
There was a group of people sitting on the Grand Preceptor's chair. Their expressions were all different, but the majority of them exuded an aura of wealth. Clearly, they were all people of status.
"Zhang Gu, this is the Mr Ye?" A middle-aged man in the main seat stood up and said.
This man was Master Zhang Jiu, he was around fifty years old, he was slightly fat with a moustache, on his waist hung an ancient jade pendant, on his left wrist was a buddhist pearl, they all looked like they were worth a lot.
"Yes, Ninth Master." Zhang Gu nodded.
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to speak, one of the people seated on the armchair sneered: "Zhang Laoban, you found such a child to clap hands on, and an outsider at that? It looks like your Zhang Family is going to decline in the antique industry, right? "
Zhang Jiu's face sank, and coldly snorted: "Yu Soong, Yan City is not a waste of time, it is not a place where you can fart as you please. If you continue to be disrespectful, I'll get someone to kick you out right now!"
"Hehe, if a big boss from Jiang Family is here, I will shut my mouth immediately. If you were to be even more courteous, then it would be with the face of one of the top ten clans in Yan City that I would have the right to be on equal footing with you, your father. If we have to talk about it, what do we count as? " Yu Soong spoke with a ferocious aura covering his face.
At his back was a row of big men wearing suits and sunglasses, following his words, they all stared at Zhang Jiu, some of them even had strong muscles on their chest, which showed that they were experts.
Beside him, sat an old man wearing a black centipede collar, his entire body emitted a cold aura, his eyes slightly squinted, as though he was looking down on everyone. Even Ye Xuan's arrival made him unable to open his eyes, his posture was extremely arrogant.
However, when Ye Xuan saw this old man, his heart shivered. This person was actually the old man who failed to bid for the Night Pearl with him last night.
"Yu Soong, you!" Hearing that, Zhang Jiu rushed up in anger, he glared at Yu Soong, but Yu Soong turned a blind eye, as if he was looking down on a person.
"Alright." An old man wearing a Tang suit who was sitting opposite to Zhang Jiu frowned, "Zhang Jiu, don't mind him too much. Yu Soong has a sharp mouth, and we all know each other in the collection circle, don't make him look like your enemy."
He then looked at Ye Xuan and said: "And this gentleman with the eye of the palm, since you are here, please take a seat."
The skin on Zhang Jiu's face twitched. It was obvious that the person who spoke was not small. With a cold snort, he slowly sat down.
As Ye Xuan sat at the very end of the seat, Zhang Gu walked behind him and leaned close to his ear to explain.
Yu Soong who had been rude just now was a big shot in White Water City. Not only did he control a lot of entertainment industries in the city, he also had an ancient art business, one of the four big antique families, the Luo Family. They were in White Water City and Yu Soong had been interacting frequently with the Luo Family members recently, as if he was about to do something big.
The Zhang Family was also in the antiques business, so naturally they had a commercial confrontation with Yu Soong.
Furthermore, Yu Soong had asked around for the news that the Zhang Family had found an ancient tomb a year ago. Both sides had even fought in the ancient tomb, and some had even lost their lives.
The Tang suit wearing old man was Han Baisui, he was a famous rich and powerful being with Yan City, his assets included hotels, real estate, logistics, fisheries and so on. The Han Family had relied on their many businesses to get the title of the top ten families in Yan City, everyone respectfully called him Elder Han.
Of course, these ten great families did not contain Jiang Family, because the power of Jiang Family had long surpassed that of a city, and covered more than half of the entire Haidong Province.
Compared to Han Baisui, Zhang Jiu, as an antique family, was nothing. If it wasn't for the antique circles, he wouldn't even be qualified enough to sit on equal footing with Han Baisui.
"I see." After listening to Zhang Gu's introduction, Ye Xuan nodded his head absent-mindedly, as he looked past Yu Soong towards the old man with silver hair.
As though he could feel Ye Xuan's gaze, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and looked towards Ye Xuan with a hidden glint in his eyes. It was obvious that he recognized Ye Xuan.
However, it was unknown if it was because of the current situation, but after the old man coldly looked at Ye Xuan, he once again narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Han Baisui opened his mouth and said: "Since everyone is here, then Boss Huang, can you take out the things for us to take a look?"
"This is the third time you guys are looking at the goods. This time, you have to make sure whether you buy it or not." Sitting on the other side of the table was a middle-aged man with a white and fat appearance and an overbearing aura, as he spoke with a frown.
"Boss Huang, don't worry. As long as it's real, this will be the last time we look at the goods. We will definitely buy it." Another big boss at the table said solemnly.
He was the big boss of the Yan City new district. Not only did he have a few electronics factories, he also had a piece of land from the new district and advanced into the real estate industry. He could also be considered a newly promoted rich person from Yan City.
"Everyone's so busy, and we even got together three times. If we just don't buy it, then what's the point in eating until we're full?" Another rich businessman echoed.
"Alright." Boss Huang nodded and signaled the female assistant to place an ancient box on the wooden table in front of the hall.
Inside the box was an unknown ancient wood Feng Shui Life Plate. It seemed to be heavy, with mottled markings. On it were carved the characters Heaven, Earth, Constellation, and other similar characters.
Once this Fate Plate was taken out, the entire hall seemed to cool down a lot, causing everyone's gazes to converge onto it.
"Huh?" Ye Xuan, who had already opened his X-ray vision, could not help but let out a cry of alarm. It was because he could see the Treasure Qi that was circulating on the Fate Plate, and it was dragging the vitality in his body along with it.
Could it be that this Fate Plate was the same as the Luminous Pearl, and was truly a magical artifact?
"Mr Ye, what do you think?" Zhang Jiu's face still did not look good, there were even some traces of impatience in his words.
The first time he saw Ye Xuan, he did not think highly of him, because Ye Xuan was simply too young. Being an appraiser in the antiques world required at least twenty years of experience, like this kind of young man who was around twenty years of age, who would have the slightest bit of experience?
If it wasn't for the fact that Zhang Gu was their Zhang Family's most powerful expert on antiques, which was recommended by Zhang Jiu, he wouldn't have invited such a young person to be their palm-eye master.
But when Ye Xuan arrived, he regretted it in his heart.
This young man looked too ordinary, he did not look like a master at all. Compared to the one Yu Soong had invited, or the other master in charge of palms, he was just too inferior.
Therefore, when his old rival Yu Soong jumped out and mocked and ridiculed him, he could only hold in his loss of face.
At this time, Yu Soong said in a strange tone, "What else can you do? This isn't the first time we've seen it. However, this brat probably doesn't even know what a magical equipment is, right? Even if you asked him, would you believe what he said? "Haha!"
Ye Xuan smiled, but did not say a word.
The first time he saw this Fate Plate, he was indeed a little surprised. It wasn't only because of the aura similar to that of the Night Pearls, but also because this Fate Plate looked exactly the same as the ones that the ancient cultivators used in the ancient cultivation world.
If this Fate Plate was a genuine magic tool, it could indeed be used to predict auspicious and survey Feng Shui.
However, the Treasure Qi above was still weak, Ye Xuan did not believe that it could unleash the power that was recorded down in the ancient records. Furthermore, the marks on it were mottled and there were many cracks on it.
Everyone stared at the life disc, their eyes shone brightly, as though they viewed it as a treasure. Whether it was Zhang Jiu, Yu Soong or these rich and powerful people, all of them seemed to be determined to win.
In the hall, other than Zhang Gu, who had some respect for Ye Xuan, no one took him seriously. Therefore, why did Ye Xuan remind them about the strangeness of his life plate?
Seeing that Ye Xuan was silent, Han Baisui clasped his hands at an old man and said: "Master Mao, please open your eyes and palms."
The sixty year old man stood up with his hands behind his back and walked towards the Fate Plate in a grand manner.
All of the rich people present slightly leaned forward, their eyes solemnly looking at Master Mao, obviously looking forward to seeing who this master was.
Master Mao took out a round and simple piece of jade from his bosom and held it in his hand. After that, he walked around the wooden table three times as he muttered some words, with a serious expression on his face.
Everyone could not help but become nervous as they stared at him. Clearly, everyone felt that this master was doing something to the Fate Plate.
Only Han Baisui squinted his eyes, smiled and said: "Master Mao is our Yan City's recent famous Master Feng Shui. As long as it's a Wind Water Magic Tool, Light Buddha Treasure, or Burning Incense Stick, none of them can escape his eyes."
When he said that, all of the rich and powerful Yan City people present nodded their heads in agreement. These people had more or less invited the Master Mao to be a judge and have a look at feng shui before, and all of them thought that it was very effective.
Only Yu Soong, who was standing opposite of him, laughed disdainfully and said in a negative tone: "Who does he think he is, he is far worse than our Master Ge!"
The moment Yu Soong said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Master Mao gave a humph and kept the jade stone, "This old and weak one's magic power is low, I can only tell that this magical artifact is extraordinary, but I do not know where it is extraordinary. So, may this Master Ge give us some pointers?"
When the refined Master Ge heard this, he slowly opened his eyes and swept his eyes across Master Mao. He then disdainfully shook his head, angering Master Mao to the point that his face was red.
"Forget it, you really don't have much cultivation experience. Being able to see that you're not ordinary can be considered to have a bit of an eye." When Master Ge spoke, his tone was extremely arrogant, as if he did not even place Master Mao in his eyes.
When Han Baisui and the other rich people of Yan City heard this, their faces became ugly. The Master Mao was invited by them, and Elder Han was even flattering them, but he was still flattered by this Master Ge that Yu Soong had invited. He was simply slapping them in the face.
