Liu Zhongyi nodded. "That's right! Our Liu family are descendants of the Mingmu Ancestor. The so-called Mingmu means to regard appraisal as the primary profession, never to engage in fraud, and to be truthful and objective! However, every faction has a few scoundrels, and the Mingmu faction is no exception! During the Qing Dynasty, a few traitors emerged from the Mingmu faction. They set up their own sect, the 'Fish Eyes faction.' As the name suggests, they used the skills they learned from the Mingmu faction to manufacture counterfeit goods, passing off inferior goods as genuine, and disrupting the market! They even used our Mingmu faction's name to swindle and cheat, and to frame us!"

Lin Yu and Liu Siyun exchanged a glance, both quite surprised, as this was the first time they had ever heard of such history.

"Grandpa, what happened next?" Liu Siyun asked.

Liu Zhongyi sighed and said, "The struggle between the Mingmu faction and the Yumu faction spanned the entire history of the Qing Dynasty and continued until the Republic of China era. The world was in chaos, and people's hearts were no longer pure! After the Japanese came to China, they amassed our Celestial Empire's national treasures. In order to deal with our Mingmu faction, the Yumu faction actually became the Japanese's lackeys, acquiring many treasures for Japan, while using the Japanese's power to attack our Mingmu faction!"

"However, my ancestors were men of unyielding spirit, especially your great-grandfather's generation. Many of them were brutally beaten and died by the Japanese while protecting national treasures!"

"As the saying goes, evil people will get their just desserts! Finally, the War of Resistance against Japan was won, the Japanese withdrew from China, and the Fish Eye Faction lost its protection. Like rats crossing the street, they hid here and there every day. Among them, there was a most notorious traitor in Guanzhong, Zhao Hongguang, who was the main leader of the Fish Eye Faction! Your great-grandfather led his men to surround and finally capture him. He was publicly executed and beheaded as a warning to others!"

"However, this great traitor was extremely arrogant even on his deathbed. He shouted to his descendants hidden in the crowd that the Zhao family would avenge him and eliminate the Mingmu faction one day! Later, it was said that some of his descendants were taken to Japan by the Japanese because of their contribution in presenting the treasure!"

Looking at the porcelain shard in his hand, Liu Zhongyi said, "The Fish Eye Sect has a habit: for every fake they make, they carve this fish eye-like mark in a hidden place on the object! Now that this fish eye mark has seen the light of day again, it's clear that they... have returned!"
