Those in the outer perimeter who couldn't see any other items were filled with surprise. All eyes turned towards Chu Nianxue's direction.
"Indeed, can your Mingyue Pavilion really only produce these two treasures? If the other items are too ordinary, then they won't be worthy of the exhibition booth at this first fair."
"Perhaps they just borrowed these items from somewhere to show off. I heard Mingyue Pavilion doesn't have a good reputation. Not long ago, someone bought quite a few fakes there."
"Really?"
"What benefit would I get from lying to you? The one who bought the fake was my friend."
"I also bought a fake there once. I was fooled back then. They specialize in selling fakes."
With someone leading the charge, many followed suit, creating a lively scene.
If this matter couldn't be proven in time, even if it didn't become a fact, it would still become a joke within the antique collecting circle.
Occupying the best location, the largest booth, yet only displaying two items.
Chu Nianxue's expression showed a hint of panic. Borrowing Elder Tang's collection at this moment would inevitably invite criticism.
Her gaze instinctively turned to Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian pointed to his face, "Wife, if you can kiss me, I'll handle this matter. I guarantee I'll do it beautifully and let everyone know that our Mingyue Pavilion has plenty of treasures."
"Stop fooling around, there are so many people here. Let's do it when we get back, okay?" Chu Nianxue saw the smile in Lin Xiaotian's eyes and knew he had already thought of this.
Her heart was also filled with gratitude.
Every time she encountered a crisis, it was Lin Xiaotian who helped her. This man gave her too much security.
But her affection didn't want to be mixed with romantic feelings.
Lin Xiaotian leaned in directly and kissed her exquisite face. His smile became even brighter, and he strode towards the crowd.
"What are you all shouting about? Don't you just want to see precious antiques?"
"We can even bring out treasures like these for you to view freely, do we still lack a few ordinary antiques?"
"You're leading the charge and acting like fools. I really don't know what to say about you."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Then show us the items! What are we supposed to look at, the empty booth?"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Good goods are not afraid of not selling, and good meals are not afraid of being late."
"This exhibition hasn't officially started yet, and there's over an hour for preparation. You are all competitors in this industry. Displaying them early isn't for you to see, but for the collectors outside.
"Don't think I'm speaking harshly. Even if you see them, will any of you buy them?"
"If any of you say you'll buy, I'll bring out the items immediately."
"I'll buy it!" Hearing this, all eyes turned in unison.
The speaker was a young man, whom no one recognized.
He looked like a wealthy person in his attire, but his demeanor was somewhat uncouth.
"As long as you can bring out good items, there's nothing I can't afford."
Lin Xiaotian sized up the man and smiled, "Have you ever heard a saying?"
"What saying?" the man asked Lin Xiaotian arrogantly.
Lin Xiaotian smiled, "Wearing a dragon robe doesn't make you a prince. That's describing you."
The man was furious and slammed the counter, "I am your customer now. The customer is God, do you understand?"
"You said I couldn't afford things? First, you have to be able to produce them. If you can't produce them today, then your Mingyue Pavilion is just playing us here."
"How can I produce them?"
"If you can produce them, I'll twist my head off and give it to you as a chamber pot."
Lin Xiaotian laughed, "Forget the chamber pot, your head is too ugly. Looking at you while urinating would make me hold it in."
The crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter at this.
The young man's face contorted with anger, and he roared, "Stop beating around the bush. If you have the guts, bring out the items first. How do you know I can't afford them if you don't show them?"
"Since you want to buy, young master will give you this opportunity."
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile and then shouted, "Make way, let my subordinate bring the items over."
Everyone looked back and saw someone carrying large bags.
His face was so red it was almost unrecognizable.
Everyone made way.
Wu Gaoyang hurried over. As a martial artist, the weight of these items was nothing to him. The packaging was too large and inconvenient to carry, so he had strung them together with a rope.
Lin Xiaotian casually pulled one item from him and placed it on the counter with a smile, then slapped his palm onto it.
The wooden box shattered, revealing a piece of chicken-fat yellow glass-type jadeite in the center.
Especially under the sunlight, the yellow in the center gave people the first impression of nobility.
The coiled dragon carved on it made them think of something.
"This is actually a Jade Seal!"
Someone exclaimed.
Tang Jingde stood in front of the counter, carefully examined it, and nodded, "That's right, it is indeed a Jade Seal, but it's from the Qing Dynasty. However, it's still priceless, worth at least over three hundred million."
"The jadeite carved into this Jade Seal is of the chicken-fat yellow glass type, which is extremely rare. Moreover, there isn't a single impurity in this jadeite. Its condition, craftsmanship, and material are all top-notch."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Can you afford three hundred million?"
The young man's expression changed. After a mix of embarrassment and anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe the cheapest item you have here is this Jade Seal."
"Can't afford it, right? Then I'll move on to the next item!"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and took out another box. He opened it and said, "Elder, take a look at this item. How is it?"
"This is Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain?"
Elder Tang was once again shocked. This treasure was also extremely valuable, worth around five hundred million.
Lin Xiaotian had taken away the most precious treasures of the Ma family. For a prominent family like the Ma family, they wouldn't care about ordinary items.
Anything they valued would have a threshold of at least five hundred million to be kept in their treasury.
And that Jade Seal was something Lin Xiaotian had obtained from Manager Zheng, not from the Wu family of the Ma family.
The young man's face turned pale.
"Keep bringing them out!"
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Xiao Gao, place all these items on the counter, open them one by one, and let him open his eyes."
"If he can't afford a single item today, then drag him outside and beat him until his head is embedded in his stomach."
The crowd had no time to pay attention to the young man. Their eyes were all fixed on the wooden boxes, filled with anticipation.
This was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons, truly opening their eyes.
