Actually, Lin Yu wasn't trying to prove anything.
He could tell that Wu Yuxiang intended to match Lan Ling with this man surnamed Zhou.
However, Lan Ling was his intended sister-in-law, so what was this guy surnamed Zhou anyway?
Moreover, with his medical skills, he could tell at a glance that this man had kidney deficiency and must have been taking advantage of young girls a lot in the past. He didn't want Lan Ling to jump into a fire pit.
When Wu Yuxiang saw that he had agreed, she was overjoyed and immediately said, "Okay, since you've agreed, let's find an authoritative appraisal master to help us appraise it. As far as I know, the best appraisal expert in our region is Longxuan Pavilion! I heard that Miss Ning of Longxuan Pavilion has never been wrong since she started out. How about we ask her to appraise it?"
Miss Ning?
Everyone's expression changed in surprise.
This Miss Ning is quite famous in the Guanzhong region.
First of all, in terms of beauty, she is no less than Lan Ling; both are top beauties from within the Great Wall.
More importantly, as the eldest daughter of Longxuan Pavilion, her status is quite high, after all, Longxuan Pavilion was equivalent to the four major families back then!
"Um, Yuxiang, you probably don't know, Miss Ning is a very busy person, not easy to invite! It's said that she hasn't shown up for a long time!"
Lan Shanyue shook his head. He knew a little about Miss Ning.
Recalling something from before, he casually remarked, "I remember a big shot once wanted Miss Ning to help appraise a treasure. The condition he offered was 10% of the treasure's value, and he would have to wait in line!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback. Ten percent of the item's value?
Miss Ning's appearance fee is way too high!
Lan Shanyue shook his head. "If you really want to invite Miss Ning, let's not even talk about who will pay for it. Miss Ning might not be able to come right away. Can you afford to wait?"
Wu Yuxiang looked very unhappy. She hadn't expected that inviting this Miss Ning would come at such a high price.
Ten percent of the reward? Ten percent of thirty million is three million! She's not going to pay that? No way!
Are you talking about Ningxi?
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly spoke up, smiling, "I happen to know her. How about this, I'll invite her over right now. Don't worry, she won't charge you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Pfft!
Wu Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Dr. Lin, aren't you a doctor? What, you have connections in the antique world? You can't just brag like that, can you? Do you even know who Miss Ning is?"
Zhou Liang sneered and said, "Although I'm not from here, I know about Longxuan Pavilion. It's said that the Ning family is a force that even the four great families of the interior dare not provoke. Kid, if you're going to brag, at least write something down, okay?"
Lin Yu shook his head. "If you're talking about getting the US president to come, I might have to go through some trouble, but getting Ning Xi to come is just a matter of one phone call. How am I bragging!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned once again.
Holy crap, is this how you brag? You might as well just fly to the moon!
Without saying a word, Lin Yu walked to the side and called Ning Xi.
"Alright, Sect Leader Lin, I'll be right there. Please wait for me for ten minutes, no, five minutes!"
Ningxi immediately agreed over the phone.
Ningxi now idolizes Lin Yu to the point of worship, and if Lin Yu summons her, she would love to fly there immediately.
Five minutes later, a Maserati flew directly to the Lan family's doorstep.
At this moment, Wu Yuxiang and Zhou Liang were still rolling their eyes at Lin Yu.
"Come on, everyone, let's eat first. If we keep waiting like this, the daylilies will get cold! Hehehe!" Wu Yuxiang said, then couldn't help but giggle.
She was obviously being sarcastic towards Lin Yu, implying that Ning Xi had no chance of coming.
"Master! Miss Ning has arrived!"
However, at that moment, a servant suddenly walked in.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Da da da!
A series of rapid high heel sounds came, and a woman with a graceful figure and noble demeanor walked quickly in from outside.
"Miss Ning??"
Everyone was stunned. They never expected that the person who came was really the famous beauty from within the Great Wall, Ning Xi!
However, Ning Xi ignored the many gazes and went straight to Lin Yu, bowing slightly, "Sect Master, I'm sorry I'm late!"
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "It's not late, you've arrived just in time. After you've seen this painting, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"
Ningxi's face lit up with joy.
The sect leader actually invited me to stay for dinner?
At this moment, Lan Shanyue, supported by Lan Yingquan, stepped forward and said, "Oh, Miss Ning, it is truly an honor for our Lan family to have you grace us with your presence!"
"No, no!" Ning Xi quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin is the leader of our Mingmu Sect. The leader ordered me to come, how could I dare not come!"
"What? Dr. Lin, you're actually the leader of the Mingmu Sect?" Lan Shanyue looked incredulous. Anyone who collects antiques knows the Mingmu Sect; it's the number one antique sect in the North, holding an absolute dominant position in the antique world. Every move the Mingmu Sect makes determines the pricing of antiques and market trends.
At this moment, Wu Yuxiang and Zhou Liang felt their faces burning.
Just now he said that this guy didn't understand antiques, but wow, it turns out that this guy was pretending to be stupid and actually the head of an antique sect!
Isn't this more impressive than the masters?
"Oh my, Dr. Lin, I originally thought your medical skills were already superb, but I never expected your knowledge of antiques to be so outstanding as well! You truly are a person of both virtue and talent, skilled in both literature and martial arts!"
