Rebirth and the Beautiful Soaring

The ancient charm seemed to be very popular here; many people nodded to her as she walked in.

As a result, Yu Fei and Lin Yang also received extra attention from everyone.

Yu Fei is alright. Although he is handsome, he is young, and everyone thought he was the child of Gu Yun's relatives and friends.

Lin Yang, however, was different. Her stunning beauty and aloof demeanor were truly eye-catching.

Even though Langya Zi smiled and nodded at Lin Yang, almost no one knew that his gaze was actually fixed more on Yu Fei beside him.

Yu Fei felt this admiring gaze, as if it could see into his heart.

He was inexplicably shocked. Could the rumors from his past life be true, and that Langya Zi was a true martial arts master?

The subsequent appraisal was a feast for the eyes of both Yu Fei and Lin Yang.

Experts are experts; they can not only determine the authenticity and value of collectibles, but also tell stories and anecdotes related to them. This undoubtedly increases the value of collectibles, instantly doubling their worth.

This is the role of expert evaluation.

One by one, precious collectibles were laid out on the stage, and each selected appraisal expert offered their evaluation and explanation.

In fact, a significant portion of collectibles have undergone prior authentication, as many items require modern instruments, such as spectrometers for dating, which are not well-suited for on-site demonstrations.

Each collectible item, once interpreted by experts, saw its value skyrocket.

Of course, a small number of them were counterfeit, and the experts pointed them out one by one.

Unfortunately, Langya Zi has not made a move, as if it is something he has not set his sights on.

Gu Yun whispered to Yu Fei and Lin Yang that Langya Zi's surname was Tie and his given name was Qiusheng. He was a top expert in appraising collectibles, and almost anything he appraised as genuine was a national treasure.

Towards the end, a jade Guanyin statue was brought out, and as usual, Langya Zi did not make a move.

Gu Yun sighed, "It's a pity that Langya Zi didn't make a move this time. You've missed a great opportunity to observe."

Yu Fei smiled and said softly, "Sister Yun, if I have any ancient jade pieces that need to be authenticated, could these masters provide authentication services here?"

Gu Yun exclaimed in surprise, "From what you're saying, you actually brought rare ancient jade this time?"

Yu Fei chuckled lightly: "Sister, the reason I introduced Teacher Lin here this time was to sell jade to you."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "I see. Teacher Lin, what did you bring?"

"Sister Yun, please take a look!" Lin Yang took out a box from his bag, and after opening it, the emerald green horse galloping over a swallow immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Upon seeing this item, Gu Yun was immediately captivated. Holding it in her hand, she exclaimed in amazement, "This is a wonderful item, absolutely wonderful! If it had an expert's certificate of authenticity, its value would definitely exceed 100 million."

Just then, the host was about to announce the end of the appraisal session, but Langya Zi suddenly shook his head at him and said, "Wait, there's still one good item that hasn't been appraised. Gu Yatou, quickly bring up your friend's Flying Horse, I want to appraise it myself."

Unlike other appraisal masters, Langya Zi conducts genuine on-site appraisals without needing any prior instruments; his eyes themselves are a sophisticated instrument.

Lin Yang carefully handed the Flying Horse to Gu Yun, who then carried it onto the stage.

Langya Zi took the jadeite version of the Flying Horse and examined it carefully.

After a short while, he said, "This jade horse treading on a swallow should be the work of a famous jade craftsman from the Tang Dynasty. The details are handled very well, and the material is a pure and rich imperial green, giving it an incomparably noble and elegant beauty, yet it is also unrestrained. It is truly a rare jade treasure. Gu Yatou, ask your friend if she's selling it. If she is, I'll buy it, and the price will definitely satisfy her."

Langya Zi was a man who was never short of money. When he encountered collectibles he liked, he was never afraid of the other party offering a high price. As long as the person was willing to sell, he dared to buy them.

Of course, no one's money comes from thin air. If you encounter a seller with no bottom line, Langya Zi also has ways to deal with them.

Yu Fei and Lin Yang had some knowledge of Langya Zi, so there was no problem for them; they simply asked the other party to make an offer.

"Would you sell it for 100 million? If you think it's too little, we can add more." Langya Zi spoke of 100 million as casually as if he were talking about a dollar.

This was in 1996; it's incomparable to what came after.

Many years later, this jade version of the Flying Horse was auctioned for 120 million.

Therefore, this is definitely an extremely high price.

Yu Fei chuckled and said, "Selling is of course a no-brainer, but Mr. Tie, isn't the price you're offering too high?"

"Is it expensive? No, it's not. It's absolutely worth the price. If the price were too low, it would be a disgrace to its reputation."

Everyone found it very interesting. The buyer was generous, and the seller was not stingy either. It seemed difficult for such a situation, where both parties considered each other, to occur, but it happened just like that.

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Little brother, since Old Tie has said so, you shouldn't object. Anyway, with his discerning eye, he won't lose out no matter what."

"Gu girl, are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Old Tie, needless to say, I was naturally praising you."

The auction proceeded under the direction of a host, and Langya Zi led Yu Fei and the other two to his private reception room.

With Gu Yun acting as an intermediary, Lin Yang signed a purchase agreement for the collectibles with Tie Lao and received a check from Tie Lao on the spot.

Perhaps because they had experienced too much of this kind of money dealing and transaction in their previous lives, Yu Fei and Lin Yang were not very shocked. They just felt that the money came too easily, no different from picking it up off the street.

After completing the transaction, Yu Fei and Lin Yang were about to take their leave when Langya Zi suddenly said, "Yu Fei, I'd like to have a private talk with you. What do you think?"

Gu Yun quickly gave Yu Fei a wink, clearly indicating that he should agree.

In fact, even if Gu Yun hadn't reminded him, Yu Fei was prepared to agree, because he felt that Langya Zi had no ill intentions towards him.

Given the rumors he had heard about Langya Zi before, how could he possibly refuse?

"If Old Tie summons me, how could I dare refuse?"

"Okay, okay, very good, come with me."

Yu Fei never expected that he would enter a heavily guarded secret room.

It's filled with priceless national treasures.

When Yu Fei saw these things, Langya Zi was observing his actions.

To be honest, aside from a slight surprise, Yu Fei didn't have any other significant feelings.

That calmness and composure is a manifestation of good character, honed from twenty years of ups and downs in the business world in his previous life.

"Congratulations, Yu Fei. You have passed my test and are qualified to become the successor of Langya Jade Imitation and my disciple."
