C685 Humble Etiquette
Mr. Chen had a look of regret on his face. He was one of the few people who cared about ancient relics. Although modern artistes worked very hard to restore and repair these damaged ancient literature, they had to admit that... After Mr. Chen saw these things, he could not help but feel a sense of regret in his heart. After all, this was the witness of a lack of history.0
After Mr. Chen withdrew his regret from Hao Chuan's previous words, "The younger generation will be feared." As for who would win or lose this bet, Mr. Chen did not need to give an answer personally. Everyone in the room was a big shot in this industry. When Hao Chuan accurately pointed out the connecting point, everyone knew. What Hao Chuan said was most likely correct.
Although everyone knew this, the highly respected Mr. Chen still sighed. He gave an affirmative answer and looked at Hao Chuan. He looked at everyone, then at the courtyard. The dumbstruck Elder Song said, "Wang Gua, brother Wang, you are very knowledgeable. His eyesight and knowledge are extraordinary. What he said is right."
What Mr. Chen said was equivalent to giving Elder Song a death sentence. Elder Song felt like he had lost his soul as he sat down on the stone bench. At this moment, his face was extremely pale.
He was the one who brought this Crouching Tiger Jade Condor over. How could he not know what was going on? After receiving Mr. Chen's invitation to the gathering, elder Song prepared another precious treasure. But before he left, he suddenly changed his mind. This jade carving, crouching Tiger, was a rare and exquisite item that was circulated throughout the Antique World. Elder Song had collected a supreme treasure, crouching Tiger, but it was only a legend. It had never appeared in front of anyone. This rumor... Naturally, it was Elder Song who had arranged for someone to release it.
Apart from being an antique lover, he was also a businessman from a super big family in Beijing. His actions were in fact a form of sensationalism. During the previous few gatherings, Mr. Chen and the others had wanted to witness and play with Elder Song's collection, but Elder Song had deliberately suppressed them and rejected them.
At today's gathering, elder Song thought that it was about time. He changed his mind and took it out before leaving. He hoped that with this treasure, he could invite Mr. Chen to come out of the mountain. With Mr. Chen's rallying power in the Antique World, he would work for the Soong family. Elder Song believed that it was in the capital and even the entire Antique World. The Soong family, which had a huge position in the capital, would definitely have a chance to break through to the Saint Hall in the Antique World. The reason why he had such an idea was because he was a disciple of a family. The cohesiveness and pride of his family were the cause of all this.
It was precisely because of this that Mr. Chen and the others in the courtyard revealed expressions of obvious surprise when they saw Elder Song take out the Crouching Tiger Jade Condor.
When Elder Song took the initiative to propose a bet with Hao Chuan, he had never thought of losing. Firstly, elder Song didn't think so. Secondly, this young man, Hao Chuan, had the ability to recognize this treasure. Even though Hao Chuan was knowledgeable, this jade carving was like a crouching tiger. It was not a finished product at all. How could he reveal its exact origin? In Elder Song's opinion, this bet... He would not lose anything.
However, how would Elder Song know? Hao Chuan's body actually had the support of such a shocking thing as the system? And it was a super system. After the system had been upgraded several times, Hao Chuan's Eye of Treasure Inspection function... It had undergone a tremendous change compared to the initial exchange. The current Eye of Treasure Inspection's function could be said to be extremely powerful. Not to mention that Elder Song had a portion of the original copy of the Crouching Tiger Jade Condor inside, even if it was a complete fake... However, the Eye of Treasure Inspection could provide detailed information about the wishes according to the shape of the object. As well as the prices of the counterfeits and genuine goods.
"Bet with me? Don't you know that I'm known as the Little Heavenly King of the gambling world? In this lifetime, I'm least afraid of gambling." Hao Chuan secretly let out a cold voice in his heart, but... He was too lazy to take another look at Elder Song. He placed the incomplete jade sculpture, crouching Tiger, into the brocade box. He casually closed it and then picked up the bank card on the table. He put it back into his pocket and sighed on purpose. He said, "You can't even send money out even if you want to. This is really unfair."
Elder Song, who was already depressed, could no longer hold it in when he heard Hao Chuan's words. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he fainted on the spot.
Elder Song suddenly fainted. The whole courtyard was in a mess. Although Elder Song was an arrogant man, the two middle-aged men and Mr. Chen had been friends with him for decades. They had developed a deep friendship, and each of them had a worried expression on their faces.
At the same time, another old man in a long robe... He looked at Hao Chuan with an unfriendly gaze and scolded him, "Young man... Initially, after hearing what you said just now, I had a favorable impression of you. No matter what, you are not an ignorant and incompetent person, but... Sometimes, it is not a good thing to be too sharp. After all, old Song is old. As a junior, do you still have any manners and humility in your heart? To an old man who is old, you keep saying evil things. Where is your upbringing? This is preposterous!"
"Preposterous? Where is his upbringing?" When Hao Chuan heard the old man criticizing him, he sneered. He said, "No wonder there is such a rumor circulating around. In this world... It's not that the old man has become bad, but that the bad guys have become old. Are you criticizing me indiscriminately because this old man from the Soong family vomited blood and fainted because of me? "
Hao Chuan didn't wait for the old man to speak. His facial expression changed immediately. Fury was raging all over his body. He said in a stern voice, "You only saw him vomit blood and fainted. Have you ever seen owner of Three Treasure House, who is about the same age as him? What kind of miserable situation is he in right now? A century-old shop, a century-old shop that had been painstakingly run by generations of people. Just because of the Soong family's selfish desires, it was now handed over to someone else. Not only that, but he also had the intention to move overseas. However, his legs were still broken by someone from the Soong family. He could only lie in bed for the rest of his life, and that young nephew of his, who was in the middle of a fight... His limbs were even broken, and he ended up as a cripple for the rest of his life. Tell me, in front of owner of Three Treasure House and his nephew's miserable end... In the face of this kind of executioner who everyone has the right to punish, tell me... How can I express my humbleness to him?"
