"Speak quickly if you have something to say, I'm really busy here." Chu Nianxue didn't want to spend another second in front of Lin Xiaotian; it was too embarrassing.
Seeing Lin Xiaotian's mischievous smile, she knew this scoundrel must have seen something at the time, otherwise, he wouldn't be smiling so brightly.
The more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and she put on an even colder, angrier expression.
Lin Xiaotian knew she was getting embarrassed and quickly said, "Wife, do you want to see a big treasure?"
"If you want to see it, give me a kiss, and I'll definitely surprise you."
"My big treasure isn't something just anyone can see."
Chu Nianxue was stunned for a moment. She suddenly thought of some things she had seen online, especially some of the guidance within, which made her pretty face turn red. She even angrily said, "What do you take me for?"
"Don't think that just because I've seen those things, I'm madly in love with you. You're still on probation, and I haven't agreed to marry you yet."
"If you keep talking like this, I'll really get angry."
The mischievous smile on Lin Xiaotian's face became even more obvious, and his eyes held a hint of teasing. "What are you thinking, wife?"
"The big treasure I'm talking about is still in the car outside. I need you to open the password lock in the underground vault. We need to put all those treasures in storage. It's not safe to leave such a big treasure outside. If you knew its true value, I don't know how many people would try to steal it."
Hearing this, Chu Nianxue's expression flickered slightly. Her gaze subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaotian's waist.
But immediately after, her beautiful face turned as red as a ripe peach.
"Who told you to speak so ambiguously? Let's go right now."
With that, Chu Nianxue quickly pushed open the door and walked out of the office, her exquisite face burning as if on fire. She wished she could find a place to disappear into.
Just thinking about what she had just said made her feel utterly ashamed.
She just hoped she hadn't seen some suggestive jokes, otherwise, with her current reaction, this scoundrel would definitely push his luck, and he might even cause trouble tonight.
Although she had someone in her heart, many people said that you shouldn't let bad men get you too easily, or they wouldn't cherish you later.
Even though she had absolute confidence in Lin Xiaotian, who knew if this scoundrel would have other romantic entanglements later? With such a sweet tongue, who knew how many beautiful young women he could charm.
Lin Xiaotian followed behind with a smile, his face beaming.
He directly took out his phone and sent a message to Tang Jingde.
"Wife, if I tell Old Master Tang Jinde that as long as I show him something, he'll have to become our company's chief appraiser from now on, do you think he'll agree?"
Chu Nianxue turned back and gave Lin Xiaotian a look of disdain. "Do you think Grandpa Tang is an ignorant person? If you casually bring out a treasure, Grandpa Tang will never agree so easily."
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even brighter. "That's not necessarily true. The old man just replied to my message. He's coming to see you about something and has just arrived at our company's entrance. This time, the treasure can let him broaden his horizons."
Chu Nianxue frowned slightly, then said with some displeasure, "Grandpa Tang has appraised countless precious antiques in his lifetime. Don't say anything about broadening his horizons in front of him; it will only make you a laughingstock."
Lin Xiaotian said with a bright smile, "Wife, when you see that big treasure later, you'll know what a truly precious item is."
"This thing will not only bring immense fame to our company but will also make us the focus of the entire continent."
"If you don't believe me, you'll know when you see this thing."
Chu Nianxue looked at him with doubt but didn't say anything further. She knew Lin Xiaotian never bragged to her.
The two soon arrived at the entrance of the underground vault. Captain Ma was already waiting there. After Chu Nianxue verified the password and iris scan, the vault door began to open.
The antiques inside were extremely precious. Two-thirds of the treasures stored here were brought back by Lin Xiaotian, and the rest were genuine items the company had purchased at a high price.
Tang Jingde also rushed over at this time, exchanged pleasantries with Lin Xiaotian, and then looked at the largest box that had been moved inside.
His eyes held a hint of doubt. "Xiaotian, is the treasure you told me about inside this wooden box?"
Lin Xiaotian nodded with a smile, then looked at Zhao Feipeng.
"Old Zhao, you told me before that you could never figure out what this thing was. You always thought it was like the Yuzhou Ding. Your intuition was correct. This is indeed the Yuzhou Ding."
The eyes of several people showed disbelief. Their gazes all fell on Lin Xiaotian.
In everyone's hearts, a storm of shock was brewing. They all knew what those three words meant.
Legend had it that Da Yu, during his flood control efforts, cast nine great cauldrons to suppress the luck of the nine provinces.
This matter had long been regarded as a myth and legend by many, and very few people believed it. Moreover, this history had never been verified, especially the legendary Nine Provinces Cauldrons.
It could even be said that finding any one of them would make one famous throughout the land.
Now, this opportunity was right before them. They couldn't even believe it was real.
Lin Xiaotian walked over with a brilliant smile and forcefully knocked off the remaining willow branches.
These wooden strips all fell to the ground, revealing a black cauldron within.
Various patterns were carved on the cauldron, but the mountains and rivers depicted were vastly different from the current records of the Yuzhou Ding.
A hint of disappointment appeared in Tang Jingde's eyes. He knew this matter was inherently mysterious. He simply sighed softly and said nothing more.
A slightly awkward expression appeared on Zhao Feipeng's face. He had wanted to remind Lin Xiaotian, as he had studied this item for so long without a definitive answer. He knew the historical records were not like this at all.
But he didn't dare to say anything, fearing that Lin Xiaotian would be displeased and give him another slap.
Lin Xiaotian turned around with a smile. "Do you feel that the Yuzhou Ding is different from the historical records?"
"I can tell you all clearly that different records do not mean there is a problem with the Yuzhou Ding. I will now show you the true appearance of the Yuzhou Ding."
