Kang Jiao, still not believing it, looked at it for a long time and finally discovered that there was indeed a difference between the old and new inscriptions on the Dragon Sparrow Blade. However, the difference was so small that it would be impossible to find it unless one was nitpicking!
Kang Jiao clenched her fist, and hesitated for a moment, unwilling to accept the outcome. The appraisal result of this Dragon Sparrow Blade was related to the final result!
Kang Minghui's expression instantly darkened, but he still tried to remain calm. He said, "This Dragon Sparrow Blade is the oldest item among these exhibits. You must provide sufficient reasons. Since Young Master Song noticed the problem with the inscription, what do you have to say about all these experts who have appraised genuine artifacts?"
Kang Minghui's gaze swept over the others one by one. Rather than being absolutely certain, he was still holding onto a sliver of hope to see who could refute the theory of inscriptions!
However, everyone else shook their heads, looking like they had nothing to say.
Kang Minghui was getting anxious. He suddenly looked at Maomao and said, "Miss Jiu, do you also think this Dragon Sparrow Blade is a fake? It was just that Young Master Song pointed out its forgery. What do you think? You don't agree with Young Master Song, do you?"
The cat glanced at Kang Minghui.
This outgoing president is really in a hurry!
Song Sifan smiled slightly, "President Kang, the inscription being fake is already a huge flaw. If that's not enough, how many more flaws do you want in a fake? Why can't Miss Jiu agree with me?"
This sounds fair, but Song Sifan's expression actually suggests that he is somewhat protecting Jiu Maomao.
However, Kang Minghui's words were indeed a bit unreasonable! Wasn't his subtext that if Maomao couldn't find any other loopholes, then he was just filling in the gaps? Was he just borrowing Song Sifan's line of thinking?
Kang Jiao also looked at Song Sifan in surprise. Could it be that he was protecting Maomao because she was an artist in his company?
However, the cat that everyone was speculating about looked at Song Sifan and suddenly said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't agree with you!"
Therefore, she doesn't need Song Sifan to protect her!
Song Sifan raised an eyebrow.
Kang Jiao asked almost immediately, "What, you've changed your mind? Do you also think it's genuine?"
The cat looked at Kang Jiao and shook its head leisurely, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Kang Jiao was a little angry. Everyone's attention was on the cat, but she was still keeping everyone in suspense. Kang Jiao asked, "Then you should explain yourself clearly."
The cat calmly said, "You keep interrupting me. If you're done speaking, please shut up. And don't interrupt me when I'm speaking."
When the cat said that in front of everyone, Kang Jiao suddenly felt embarrassed.
However, Maomao didn't care about Kang Jiao's reaction. She said, "This Dragon Sparrow Knife, the collector's appraisal certificate says it's a bronze knife from 1,300 years ago. That's obviously wrong. As for where it's wrong, I can only tell you when I see the collector."
Kang Jiao was about to speak, but remembering that Maomao hadn't let her interrupt, she snorted inwardly and simply stood gracefully to the side without saying a word.
Kang Minghui asked, "Why must we meet the collector before we can talk about this?"
Cat said, "I only have one request. What, Chairman Kang, is that too much to ask?"
This was indeed not excessive. Before Kang Minghui could speak, the onlookers urged the collector to step forward, as they also wanted to know what the cat could say!
Kang Minghui had no choice but to ask the collector for help.
The newcomer was a thin, small young man, dressed simply and cleanly, wearing a pair of old-fashioned glasses, somewhat out of place among the elegantly dressed crowd around him.
"I am the owner of this Dragon Sparrow Blade. What exactly did you identify?" the newcomer asked the cat directly.
He spoke softly, and his attention was not very focused; he seemed to be absent-minded at all times.
The Dragon Sparrow Knife is the most outstanding piece among these collectibles. It is well-preserved and the oldest. No one expected that the collector was such an unremarkable person.
However, the collector did not spare any attention for the extra people.
The cat glanced at the newcomer and laughed, "Hehe, before we talk, I want to make a deal with you. I'll tell you what's wrong with this knife, but you have to sell it to me."
However, as soon as the cat finished speaking, the man decisively said, "No way! I absolutely will not sell this knife!"
Cat stroked her chin, not minding the man's sudden change in attitude. She took a few steps forward, leaned closer to the Tibetan man, and whispered, "This knife is a treacherous beast. You can't control it. Your father died because of it. You don't want your son to lose his father at a young age, do you?"
The Tibetan suddenly widened his eyes, looking at the cat with a hint of fear, his whole body trembling slightly. "W-what did you say? How did you know?"
The cat moved away a bit. "Hehe, I knew it. So you decide. If you sell this knife to me, nothing will happen. If you don't, well... you, you should know, your days are numbered."
Kang Minghui suddenly said, "What did you just say? Miss Jiu, how could you threaten him?"
The cat said calmly, "I didn't threaten him."
Kang Minghui immediately looked at the collector and said, "Don't worry, there will be no forced buying or selling here. You can make the decision yourself, and our chamber of commerce will protect you."
The collector looked at the cat, his hands gripping the hem of his pants tightly. Finally, as if making a momentous decision, he said to the cat, "I can sell you this knife, but you must promise that what you say is true! And I also need to know the reason."
Cat laughed immediately and said, "No problem, I can tell you. Besides, Cat doesn't bully honest people. You can set a price after I've finished explaining."
"As everyone knows, the real Dragon Sparrow Blade originated from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, one of the ten famous blades. It originally belonged to King Helian Bobo of the Great Xia Kingdom. However, there are blades forged by the common people that imitate the shape of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, and these are called Dragon Sparrow Blades."
Unfortunately, the Dragon Sparrow Blade in front of us is not the blade from 1,300 years ago. Its inscription was indeed added later, but the forger's technique was too poor!
It misjudged the value of the knife, adding an unnecessary inscription that not only failed to enhance its value but also greatly insulted it!
Because it's not just any ordinary Dragon Sparrow Blade, but the true Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade!
