A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 21 Tricking Young Master Lu

Wu Cheng pondered for a moment and realized that Jin Wanliang was indeed not going to cheat him, which meant that there really was a Night Fragrance Bead in the toilet.

The problem is, how can I get my hands on this toilet?

His eyes lit up, and suddenly an idea came to him.

She quietly approached Young Master Lu and said, "Young Master Lu, if you're willing to pay some money, I'll admit that I gave you this toilet."

Lu Shao was worried that giving away this toilet would bring him a lot of trouble, but when he heard Wu Cheng say this, he was overjoyed: "Really? You can really help me?"

“Of course,” Wu Cheng glanced at Ma Yue. “You can’t expect that bitch Ma Yue to take the blame herself, can you? Don’t you know how Ma Yue got in here? Once we investigate, we’ll definitely find her.”

Lu Shao was taken aback when Wu Cheng guessed his thoughts: "How much money do you want?"

"You can give whatever amount you think the Gu family's anger and the Lu family's status are worth."

Young Master Lu hesitated.

"You'd better hurry, I don't think Ma Yue will be able to hold on much longer," Wu Cheng urged.

Lu Shao gritted his teeth: "One million. I happen to have a check for one million here. I was originally planning to add a little to buy some nice things at the Gu family's place, but I'll give it all to you now."

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Deal."

Wu Cheng put the check given to him by Young Master Lu into his pocket, stepped forward, and said to Old Master Gu, "Tell Old Master Gu that this was a gift from me."

Everyone was taken aback.

Grandpa Gu also looked at Wu Cheng. He had a very good impression of Wu Cheng before, and thought it was rare to find such a young man besides the rich kids.

As a result, Wu Cheng himself came forward and admitted that the toilet was a gift from Wu Cheng. He was also surprised, wondering if he had misjudged the situation.

Seeing that Old Master Gu's expression had changed, Wu Cheng quickly said, "I still have something to say."

“Tell me,” said Old Master Gu, “if you can give a reason for giving this gift, and if the three of us can accept it, then I won’t blame you.”

Wu Cheng asked in surprise, "Old man, I kindly gave you a treasure, and you're still blaming me?"

"A treasure? You're saying this toilet is a treasure?" Old Master Gu was amused and annoyed by Wu Cheng's words.

The people below whispered among themselves, "Is this kid an idiot?"

"If you don't court death, you won't die."

Wu Cheng ignored what these people were saying and shook his head, replying, "This toilet is the worst of the worst, not some kind of treasure."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ruocheng, who was standing to the side, was furious: "Then why did you say this is a treasure? Kid, do you think this Gu family treasure-fighting competition is a child's play?"

Wu Cheng glanced at Su Ruocheng. Although he was a little panicked, he was not afraid: "Let me finish what I have to say. It is true that this toilet is trash, but there is a treasure inside the toilet called the Night Fragrance Dao Bead."

"Has everyone heard the saying that the Dao is in excrement and urine, and the more it is in the lower the state, the better? The more lowly something is, the more likely it is to contain the Great Dao. I heard that Old Master Gu is also a martial artist, and he is trying to subdue his restless mind and capture his wandering thoughts. Isn't that all for the sake of experiencing the true Dao of martial arts?"

"This Night Fragrance Dao Bead has a special effect: holding it while practicing can help one achieve enlightenment."

In fact, Wu Cheng's subsequent words were entirely his own interpretation. Jin Wanliang said that the Dao Bead was a treasure, but he didn't mention what effects the Dao Bead had. However, Wu Cheng thought that things like enlightenment were vague and ethereal; if you say it's effective, it's effective, and if you say it's ineffective, it's ineffective.

It's more of a placebo effect.

Upon hearing Wu Cheng's words, a commotion erupted below, as no one had ever heard of this Night Fragrance Pearl.

The young people below all said that Wu Cheng was just bragging, probably just trying to survive.

However, the three elderly people had slightly different ideas.

Bai Li and Su Ruocheng were getting restless. Although they had seen many treasures, Longqiu was just a small place. The world was vast and full of wonders, and they couldn't be sure whether such a Dao Bead existed.

When Grandpa Gu heard this, his eyes lit up.

He felt that Wu Cheng couldn't possibly lie to him; such an obvious lie would only do harm and no good.

So he nodded: "Young friend, if this Night Fragrance Dao Bead really exists, please show it to us so that we can broaden our horizons."

Wu Cheng glanced at Young Master Lu, whose face was terribly gloomy and who knows what he was thinking.

Wu Cheng stepped forward, lifted the toilet lid from Ma Yue's hands, and said, "Step back, you chamber pot maid."

Ma Yue's face turned pale instantly.

She had already turned pale with fright at the scene, and now Wu Cheng's words about a "bucket-carrying maid" had made her face turn green with anger.

Wu Cheng ignored her and slammed the toilet seat on the ground.

The toilet seat was smashed, and a bright green bead rolled out from inside the seat.

Wu Cheng himself was startled by the appearance of the bead; he hadn't expected it to actually exist.

He picked up the bead and held it in his palm: "Actually, the owner of this toilet was also a martial arts practitioner. He commissioned someone to create this Night Fragrance Bead, and the purpose of this bead is to absorb the energy of excrement and urine to strengthen itself, eventually becoming a rare and precious treasure."

"Originally, I planned to keep this Dao Bead for myself. Last time I met Grandpa Gu on the antique street, he was very generous and bought the set of Four Monkeys from me for three million."

"Therefore, I have a very good impression of the old man. Invited by the old man, I came to participate in this treasure competition, so I decided to present this Dao Pearl to the old man. I wish the old man a long life like the pine trees of Nanshan Mountain and a long and prosperous life like the Eastern Sea."

These are well-chosen words.

Su Ruocheng and Bai Li exchanged a glance, both quite surprised by Wu Cheng's performance. At such a young age, he had first stumbled upon a great find like the Four-Unusual Monkey, and then another great find like the Night Fragrance Dao Bead.

This clearly demonstrates that the young man has exceptional insight, even surpassing that of the two of them.

Although they had immersed themselves in the world of antiques for many years, the tradition of antiques was so ancient that the more they studied it, the more they realized their own ignorance. Therefore, their gazes toward Wu Cheng were filled with admiration.

Grandpa Gu was beaming with joy, repeatedly saying, "You young man are truly remarkable! You've put a lot of thought into this."

Then he asked, "Young friend, what's your name? What does your family do?"

Wu Cheng said, "Grandpa, my name is Wu Cheng, and I'm just an ordinary young man."

Grandpa Gu was quite satisfied with Wu Cheng's composure: "Good, good boy."

"Wu Cheng, here is a Night Fragrance Dao Bead."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shao felt a tightness in his chest, a feeling of suffocation that he couldn't get out of, causing him immense pain.

He realized he had been scammed, losing not only a million dollars but also a chance to make a name for himself.

If looks could kill, Wu Cheng would have been torn to pieces by Lu Sha by now.
