Chapter 87 Imperial Treasure Pavilion
"Chu Tian?"
"Why are you here?"
Lu Xiaoman looked surprised when she saw Chu Tian.
"Knowing you were having trouble, I came to check on you."
"I never expected that you, a master of internal energy, would be bullied by a street ruffian. You're just as stupid as Tang Yurou."
Chu Tian smiled at Lu Xiaoman and mocked her without any politeness.
Lu Xiaoman was immediately angered. The first half of the sentence had touched her deeply, but the second half completely changed its meaning.
You're just like Tang Yurou! Your mouth is more venomous than a cobra's.
"Kid, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless. Hitting someone is against the law."
Feeling Chu Tian's icy gaze, the one-eyed man was somewhat frightened.
Chu Tian coldly questioned, "It's true that assaulting someone is illegal, but isn't selling counterfeit goods also illegal?"
The one-eyed man panicked, "Who, who's selling counterfeit goods?"
"All my products are genuine and of high quality."
Is it genuine?
Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh. "You're holding a modern replica, and you dare to tell me it's genuine?"
The one-eyed man's expression changed drastically. "Kid, don't talk nonsense. I don't have any modern imitations. They are all treasures left by our ancestors."
"Don't you dare slander me, or I'll definitely sue you for defamation at the police department."
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Chu Tian didn't bother to say anything more and squatted down to pick up the bottom fragments of the broken porcelain.
"Everyone, look closely. If the porcelain in his hand is indeed the chamber pot used by Emperor Qianlong, then there should be Emperor Qianlong's seal on the bottom."
He pointed the fragments at the crowd, and immediately a chorus of surprised and doubtful voices erupted from the crowd.
"Young man, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"There is indeed a stamp on this fragment!"
"Look how clearly those two characters, 'Qianlong,' are written!"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, the one-eyed man breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze towards Chu Tian was filled with disdain.
He had thought Chu Tian had some skill, but it turned out he was just a mediocre person.
Not enough to be afraid of.
Lu Xiaoman panicked and said urgently, "Are you sure you can handle this? If you can't, hurry up and leave, or you'll embarrass yourself!"
Chu Tian smiled confidently, "I haven't finished speaking yet! What's the rush?"
“Speak, keep talking. The seal is still here, let’s see what other tricks you can come up with today?” The one-eyed man said with a look of disdain.
Chu Tian smiled without saying a word, then suddenly rubbed his fingers hard on the bottom of the fragment.
The once clearly visible seal immediately became blurry.
"Look everyone, the marks aren't even dry yet!"
"The craftsmanship from the Qianlong era couldn't have been this bad, could it?"
Seeing the stamp that Chu Tian had smudged, the onlookers realized what was going on.
"Damn! If this guy hadn't told me, I would have really thought this porcelain was real."
"The seal is scratched; it's obviously a recent counterfeit."
"It's truly unscrupulous to use modern imitations to pass off porcelain from the Qianlong era."
Lu Xiaoman was also stunned. After taking a closer look, she gave Chu Tian a thumbs up.
She hadn't expected Chu Tian to have such good eyesight.
Hearing the insults around him, the one-eyed man became extremely flustered.
He had thought Chu Tian was just a novice, but he never expected him to be an expert.
However, having worked in this industry for many years, I had long prepared for how to deal with being exposed.
He immediately put on a smiling face and even slapped himself twice.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I was just blind."
"The real one is at my house! I grabbed the wrong one in my rush to leave."
"Please don't take this to heart. If it really comes down to it, I'll return the money to the young lady."
As he spoke, he obediently returned the money in his hand to Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman took the money and sneered, "Now you realize you were blind? Weren't you just saying it was genuine?"
"Fake, it's all fake."
The one-eyed man chuckled, "It's all a misunderstanding. Beautiful lady, you look like you come from a wealthy family and have a broad mind. You wouldn't stoop to the level of a scumbag like me, would you?"
Lu Xiaoman's pretty face darkened. This guy is too shameless!
That makes sense, though; only those who are shameless can last long in this line of work.
"Hmph! Don't think that just because you say some nice words, I'll let you off the hook."
"It was my friend's sharp eyes that exposed your scheme today."
"But what about those people you cheated before?"
Lu Xiaoman angrily pulled out her phone and dialed the police department.
"No, don't hit him..."
The one-eyed man was horrified. He had committed many crimes in the past, which could be easily investigated.
If he were sent to the police department, he would probably spend several years in jail.
But Lu Xiaoman's mind was made up, and no one could stop her.
"well done."
"This kind of person should be handed over to the police superintendent."
"Hmph! The little girl is kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have beaten him to a pulp."
Lu Xiaoman ignored the onlookers who were offering their opinions after the fact, and looked at Chu Tian with gratitude on her face.
"Thank you for this, otherwise I would have really been fooled by him."
Chu Tian waved his hand, "No need to be polite. You are Yu Rou's friend, so of course I won't let you be bullied."
Lu Xiaoman felt a warmth in her heart, but on the surface she was somewhat unconvinced, "I wasn't bullied, I just didn't expect that the solution to the problem didn't necessarily have to be through violence."
Seeing her stubbornness, Chu Tian bluntly retorted, "Actually, your strength can't solve much of the problem."
"Chu Tian, you..."
Lu Xiaoman was furious, but she couldn't say a word.
After all, Chu Tian was right. She only had internal energy cultivation, which made her one of the best among the younger generation of martial artists.
But China is a vast country, full of hidden talents and hidden dangers.
There are countless hidden masters she can only look up to.
"Fine, since you helped me, I won't bother arguing with you."
Lu Xiaoman waved her hand, pretending to be very magnanimous, and suddenly said.
"Oh! By the way, what brings you to the antique market?"
Chu Tian told Lu Xiaoman what Tang Yurou had instructed him to do.
"What a coincidence! I'm also here to buy a gift for Grandma Tang. We can come together." Lu Xiaoman said with delight.
Chu Tian was not surprised. Lu Xiaoman and Tang Yurou were best friends, so it was only right for them to celebrate Old Madam Tang's birthday.
"Have you made your choice yet?"
"not yet."
Lu Xiaoman was a little disappointed. "Grandma Tang likes jade. I originally wanted to buy a good piece of Shoushan stone, but I don't know anything about this industry and I was afraid of being cheated."
"That's easy, I know what I'm doing. You just need to know which jade shops are good," Chu Tian volunteered.
Lu Xiaoman's eyes lit up. "That's right! You could tell the porcelain was real or fake at a glance. You must be an expert."
"I've finally met my savior! Come on, I'll take you to the biggest jade shop in the antique market right now."
After saying that, she took Chu Tian's hand and walked excitedly toward a jade shop called "Yu Bao Xuan" not far ahead.
