A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Is Chapter 25 real or fake?

The decision made by Grandpa Gu surprised not only all the young people present, but also Su Bai and the other two.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean by this?" Although Su Ruocheng knew there was something going on behind Old Master Gu's decision, he couldn't understand why Old Master Gu would so hastily decide to end the treasure-hunting competition.

Grandpa Gu handed the brick inkstone to Su Ruocheng.

Su Ruocheng hurriedly put on white gloves and began to carefully examine the brick inkstone.

After glancing at it twice, Su Ruocheng's expression changed: "The two stories that Brother Wu Cheng just told are actually true."

No wonder he didn't believe Wu Cheng's story before.

These stories are all fabricated; stories are not history. As a museum curator and an expert in cultural relic investigation, Su Ruocheng believes more in evidence.

He knew the history of Longqiu City very well and in great detail.

He even knew why the Gu family held this treasure-hunting competition every year.

The Gu family is sparing no expense in order to find the relics of their ancestors.

These relics only appear in stories, and many of the stories circulating are not friendly to the Gu family.

In that story, the Gu family's ancestor, who was a top scholar, had actually defected to the enemy.

Some people also have a question about the current Gu family: are they really descendants of the top scholar from back then? It is said that the original top scholar Gu died without leaving any descendants.

That's why Old Master Gu thought of using this treasure-hunting competition to find some clues about the Gu family.

Although this method is like finding a needle in a haystack, the Gu family is very wealthy and willing to invest any assets to prove their legitimacy and authority.

The old master Gu has finally obtained a relic from his ancestor. How can money measure the excitement he feels?

Su Ruocheng played with the brick inkstone in his hand for a long time before handing it to Bai Li to examine.

Bai Li watched for quite a while as well.

He then murmured, "It seems that Brother Gu has finally gotten what he wanted this time."

Grandpa Gu was filled with emotion: "Yes, I never thought that something from our ancestors would finally appear, and it's this inkstone. The importance of this inkstone in our Gu family genealogy is beyond words."

Just then, a rather dissenting voice rang out: "Grandpa Gu, this isn't right. When you hold a treasure-hunting competition, shouldn't the value of the treasures be judged? Even if this brick was left by your ancestor, its value..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Master Gu's face darkened, and he roared at him, "Get out!"

It was Hao Xiajian who spoke, and he almost spat out blood after being yelled at by Old Master Gu.

He dared not say anything more and obediently stepped aside.

Seeing Hao Xiajian suffer a setback, Wu Cheng felt extremely pleased. Hao Xiajian truly lived up to his name, being notoriously despicable.

"Grandpa, look at you, why are you getting so angry for no reason?" a melodious female voice said.

As soon as Grandpa Gu looked up, he saw a tall, beautiful woman walking slowly towards him. His expression softened slightly: "Girl, what brings you here?"

This tall and beautiful woman is Gu Qiushuang, the granddaughter of Old Master Gu.

Gu Qiushuang glanced at Hao Xiajian, then looked away and said, "I just heard that we found a treasure left by our ancestors, and I couldn't wait to come out and see what's new."

She smiled and said, "But there's something I have to say, Grandpa. Many people in Longqiu City know about the treasures our ancestors left behind. Maybe some people with ulterior motives have remembered them and used some unknown method to make a copy."

"Is that even possible?" Old Master Gu didn't believe it.

"Many people know about our Gu family's search for our ancestors' relics. There might be a few people who are fearless and obsessed with making money who might try to take advantage of our Gu family."

"Besides, the workmanship of this brick inkstone is very simple. If you want to make a copy, it won't take long."

While Gu Qiushuang was saying this, Wu Cheng was already cursing in his heart.

This woman looks so beautiful, yet her heart is so wicked.

According to her, wouldn't I become the one who wants to earn money to support my family?

Old Master Gu was somewhat confused by Gu Qiushuang's words.

My granddaughter has been smart since she was a child, and she sees things from a different perspective than others. Maybe she can see things that I can't see.

He stared at Wu Cheng and slowly asked, "Young man, are you sure you didn't make this yourself?"

There was a questioning tone in his voice.

At the same time, his aura of authority made Wu Cheng feel a little oppressed.

However, Wu Cheng wasn't particularly panicked. He woke up Jin Wanliang, who was dozing in the cat house.

Jin Wanliang immediately flew into a rage: "Didn't I tell you not to call me 'Lord Cat'? Lord Cat is very angry. You won't be able to level up for a month, no, for two months."

Wu Cheng smiled wryly: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about the upgrade for now. Master Miao, how can you prove that this inkstone belongs to Gu Bingzhang?"

Although Jin Wanliang was angry, it was still quite satisfied with Wu Cheng's pleading tone: "Simple, smash it."

"Huh?" Wu Cheng was dumbfounded.

Smash it! Someone's precious thing, just smash it like that? How are we supposed to play after that?

"You dare doubt my words? I'll punish you for another month, and you won't be allowed to level up for three months."

Wu Cheng sighed bitterly and had no choice but to do as Jin Wanliang said.

He looked up and stared directly at Old Master Gu: "Old Master, I respect your Gu family for being a prominent and trustworthy family. That's why I'm offering you this brick inkstone that I acquired by Gu Bingzhang, hoping to return it to the hands of Gu Bingzhang's descendants."

"I never expected you to question me like this, especially this young lady. I don't know why you're targeting me. Is it because you look down on poor people like us from humble backgrounds?"

"Or perhaps to you, we poor people are just beings you can summon and dismiss at will. In that case, please return this brick inkstone to me, Master Gu."

"Give it back to you? What are you planning to do with it?" Old Master Gu was embarrassed and felt guilty after Wu Cheng's words stung him.

Wu Cheng said, "This was originally something I acquired. A friend of mine was willing to buy it for 13 million, but I thought it belonged to the Gu family ancestors. I felt that cultural relics are a kind of historical inheritance, cultural inheritance, and even more so, the inheritance of bloodline."

"I brought it over to present to the Gu family, but I didn't expect the Gu family to be so blind as to not recognize its value. I don't want to be like Bian He. Since the treasure is not meant for the Gu family, I will sell it to my friend."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to Old Master Gu.

Grandpa Gu looked into Wu Cheng's eyes and saw that Wu Cheng's eyes were clear and without any guilt. This made even this seasoned old man who had seen a lot of people a little unsure. Was Wu Cheng a fraud?
