Well, okay, things have already turned into a joke, and Xu Lu is a little worried that things won't be able to salvage the situation.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance to prevent such a blunder that had only a one in ten thousand chance of happening, but would have catastrophic consequences if it did.
So before anyone could look at him with suspicion, Xu Lu quickly flipped the jade seal over and said:
"Everyone, you can find out if this jade seal is real or an antique by taking a look at this part with a magnifying glass."
Seeing that Xu Lu had specifically pointed to a spot on the jade seal, an expert walked over with some skepticism and then pointed a magnifying glass at that spot.
A few seconds later, the expert who had approached changed his expression drastically and muttered to himself:
"Huh, how come I didn't see the micro-carved character here before? It looks like the character 'road'."
"What 'road' stuff? Old Li, take a look at it for me right now!"
Seeing the expert's distraught appearance, someone snatched the magnifying glass from his hand and came over.

Needless to say, every single expert present was dumbfounded after examining the location Xu Lu was pointing to with a magnifying glass.

If it were just a single character, everyone could easily assume that someone had privately carved it after obtaining the Imperial Seal of the State.
However, what the experts present found somewhat unacceptable was that the character for "road" did not appear to be newly carved at all; it looked to be of the same antiquity as the jade seal itself...
Well, here's the question: who carved this character for 'road' and why is there no record of it in historical materials?
"Mr. Xu, the mere mention of the word 'road' is not enough to prove that this jade seal is a fake, is it?"
"Yes, maybe..."
Seeing that these experts were about to start speculating again, Xu Lu finally couldn't help but interrupt them directly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, this jade seal is actually a fake that I made."
I carved the character "路" (road) myself; by the way, it's because my name is Xu Lu!
