354: C354 Antique Ceremony

C354 Antique Ceremony

Hearing Lee Hongtian's words, Zhou Yafei looked at him in surprise.

"You mean my uncle probably knows something about my parents?" Zhou Yafei raised her head and looked at Lee Hongtian with suspicion.

Lee Hongtian nodded slightly and did not deny it.

From his conversation with Wu Qishaan, Lee Hongtian was quite sure of this point.

Especially when he mentioned about his own sister Wu Yuhe, Wu Qishaan was clearly trying to avoid her.

"Could it be that my uncle did something to my parents?" Zhou Yafei couldn't help but start to doubt.

"I don't think so. After all, we don't have any evidence to prove that your uncle did it." Lee Hongtian shook his head at Zhou Yafei and explained with a heavy expression.

All of this was just their own guesses.

More clues and evidence were needed.

Zhou Yafei also felt that her uncle Wu Qishaan wouldn't do such a thing. After all, he was her own sister.

It was true that blood was thicker than water.

Afterward, the four returned to the hotel.

Liu rushed to Lee Hongtian and Zhou Yafei's room as soon as he returned to the hotel.

"Boss, let me tell you a piece of good news. Yanjing is hosting an antique ceremony today, maybe we can find some clues inside." Liu explained to Lee Hongtian.

"Grand Antique Ceremony?" Lee Hongtian was also a bit suspicious after hearing this.

Lee Hongtian had heard of antiques and such things before. They were all antiques, objects that came from various ancient tombs or ancient cities.

This reminded Lee Hongtian of what Wu Qishaan said before. Wu Qishaan said that the jade talisman was the key to open an ancient city.

Perhaps, he could go to this antique ceremony and find some news about the ancient city.

"Alright, then let's hurry up and take a look!"

Lee Hongtian suggested to Zhou Yafei and Liu.

The four then left the hotel and headed towards the antiques ceremony.

The antique ceremony was a grand ceremony that the Yanjing held every year. It gathered all sorts of antique dealers and vendors from all over the place, and even sold all kinds of antique objects.

Half an hour later, the four finally arrived at the entrance of the Antique Ceremony.

The four of them walked in together.

After entering, the hall was filled with booths of various sizes. Each booth was filled with various antique objects, such as porcelain, blue and white porcelain, etc. It could be said that it was innumerable.

Of course, even though today was an antique grand ceremony, there were many other booths, such as selling jadeite, jade, jewelry, and ores.

It was called antique, but it was a mix of fish and dragons.

"Damn, boss is said to be the most famous antique in Yanjing, this is really true." Liu exclaimed as he walked in.

The antique of Yanjing was extremely famous, and almost everyone knew it.

"Hey, by the way, boss, aren't your stone gambling formidable? This is a good place to have one, why don't you show off your skills and earn some money?" Following that, Liu looked at Lee Hongtian with an interesting expression as he suggested.

The members of their team all knew that Lee Hongtian knew how to bet stones, so Lee Hongtian used this skill quite a bit in the past.1

Hearing Liu's words, Lee Hongtian started to ponder.

Stone gambling was a common occurrence for Lee Hongtian. He had also bet once at Linhai City. He had even earned quite a bit of money that time.

It was just that he did not expect that he would encounter such a scene in Yanjing this time around.

However, if he wanted to sneak into these people to get some clues and information, Lee Hongtian would probably need to show his true strength.

"Since that's the case, let me show my skill." Lee Hongtian replied.

With that, Lee Hongtian brought the three of them to the stone gambling area that wasn't too far away.

Soon, Lee Hongtian looked at the ore on the stall by the entrance of the stone gambling area and started to pick it.

However, Lee Hongtian, of course, used his keen observation skills to observe.

Ye Zichen swept his gaze over all the ores in the stall. None of these ores were good at all. They belonged to the type that whoever bought them would regret. There was no chance for them to increase the bet at all.

"Sigh. It's better to find another stall. The shapes of the ores don't look too good. " In order to not let anyone see anything, Lee Hongtian frowned slightly as he revealed a doubtful expression.

With that, Lee Hongtian left with Zhou Yafei and Liu.

However, at this moment, a ore on the opposite stall successfully caught Lee Hongtian's attention.

The surface of the ore emitted a faint emerald green light along with a faint purple light. It could be said to be an extremely good ore, and there was a huge chance that it could be successfully won.

It was just that the appearance of this ore was not particularly good, which was why it did not attract anyone's attention. The moment Lee Hongtian saw this ore, he knew that his chance had come.

After thinking about it, Lee Hongtian quickly led Zhou Yafei and Liu to the booth opposite of them.

The owner of the booth was a fat, middle-aged man with greasy skin. He wore a short sleeve and his stomach was half exposed.

Seeing Lee Hongtian and the other two arrive, the fat boss immediately jumped up from his chair and stood up.

"Heh heh, the three of you, do you want to buy ores for chopping? The ores in my house are all decent. " The fat boss asked Lee Hongtian and the other two with a warm smile on his face.

Lee Hongtian nodded slightly and then pointed at the ore that caught his eye.

"Boss, how much is this ore?"

Ga!

Hearing Lee Hongtian's question, the fat boss revealed an expression of disbelief.

He didn't expect Lee Hongtian to choose such a crappy ore.

"Brother, this piece of ore is too poor. You don't need to look at anything else. This piece is good." The fat boss quickly suggested to Lee Hongtian, then he picked up a pretty good looking ore and passed it to Lee Hongtian.

Lee Hongtian looked at the ore that the fat boss handed to him. There was no chance of it rising at all. There was not even a bit of green in the ore. Buying it would cost him his life. The owner was really black-hearted.

"Hehe, thank you for your kind intentions Boss, but I've taken a fancy to this ore. Name a price, I'll buy it." Lee Hongtian rejected the fat boss with a smile.

The fat boss' heart sank. He wondered if Lee Hongtian had a problem with his head. He didn't want such a good ore, so he went to get a piece of useless rock.

However, even if he wasn't the useless fat boss, no one knew. Only Lee Hongtian knew clearly in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, no one would bother to take a second look at the poor quality stones. Most of them were unable to produce any green stones, so no one wanted to waste money on them.
