The crowd erupted in uproar.
The esteemed Master Wu, the "Father of Porcelain," was actually colorblind?
Can you believe it?
When appraising antiques, especially porcelain, the most important thing is to have good eyesight.
If the eyes are ruined, it's like a chef losing his sense of taste; how can he possibly make delicious food?
Similarly!
If a master appraiser becomes colorblind, their appraisal skills will definitely be greatly reduced!
Master Wu's face was burning with embarrassment.
His eyes weren't like this from birth. Ten years ago, he was in a car accident that compressed his optic nerve, causing him to become colorblind.
Left with no other choice, he had to resign from his position as vice president and return home to recuperate.
Over the years, in order to treat his eye disease, he consulted many renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors and even went abroad, but he still could not be cured.
Now completely disheartened, I've decided to retire from the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, Li Donglai came to his door yesterday, offering a hefty sum of 100 million to ask him to take action!
Who wouldn't want retirement money delivered right to their doorstep?
Hoping for a stroke of luck, they followed Li Donglai to Guanzhong.
Unexpectedly, before he even got on stage, Lin Yu saw through his plan!
"Old man, how dare you lie to me?"
Li Donglai's face turned ashen, and he was furious with embarrassment.
They spent 100 million and hired a colorblind person? Are they kidding me?
Most importantly, what will Liu Siyun think?
This argument is no small matter; it concerns the future of the Liu family!
I originally wanted to please them, but I ended up making things worse!
Thinking of this, Li Donglai wished he could tear that old bastard to pieces!
Master Wu was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Young Master Li, you can't say that. I do have some problems with my eyes, but I'm sure I still have the skills!"
"You dare to say that?" Li Donglai rolled up his sleeves, unable to resist the urge to fight.
"Enough!"
Liu Zhongyi quickly stopped him, shook his head, and said, "Young Master Li, no matter what, Master Wu is a senior in the industry. I will remember this favor for coming to help my Liu family! Please don't make things difficult for Master Wu!"
Upon hearing this, Master Wu immediately showed a grateful expression.
However, he was too ashamed to stay any longer, so he apologized to Liu Zhongyi and hurriedly left the scene.
Li Donglai walked towards Liu Siyun with an apologetic expression and explained, "Siyun, I'm sorry, I didn't know that Master Wu was colorblind. Please don't misunderstand!"
Liu Siyun said calmly, "Young Master Li, I have no reason to misunderstand! This argument is a matter between our Liu family and us. Besides, we have already invited Mr. Lin, so whether or not Master Wu is involved has no impact on our family. However, Young Master Li, we are just conducting normal business. I am not used to people calling me by my name. You can call me Miss Liu or Ms. Liu, whichever you prefer!"
She felt it was necessary to take this opportunity to make her stance clear and not want the other party to misunderstand anything further.
Upon hearing this, Li Donglai couldn't help but clench his fists and give Lin Yu a cold stare.
However, he did not react on the spot, but smiled and said, "Siyun, you misunderstand. I invited Master Wu here not just to help the Liu family. This time, the Japanese have provoked the entire Guanzhong region. I am only representing the Martial Alliance to contribute my share to Guanzhong!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
By saying this, Li Donglai not only saved face for himself but also stood on the side of righteousness.
The scope of the discussion expanded immediately!
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly realized that this guy was Li Dahai's grandson.
Da da da!
Just then, the sound of wooden clogs came from outside.
Everyone looked over.
A plump figure dressed in a kimono and wearing wooden clogs led a group of people quickly toward the center of the field.
The man was dressed as a Japanese, with his hair tied up in a small braid. He had a fat head and big ears, and small but bright eyes that gleamed with shrewdness.
Liu Zhongyi frowned, and when the other person came closer, he coldly asked, "You are Kameda Shinichi?"
The obese man looked down at him arrogantly and said, "I am his younger brother, Koji Kameda. My elder brother is entertaining the ambassador today and has sent me to represent the Fish Eye Faction in a verbal duel with your Liu family!"
Koji Kameda had a very loud voice, his voice booming like a drumbeat, making the eardrums of those around him ache.
This person clearly possesses profound internal strength!
Liu Zhongyi was frail and was immediately intimidated by this imposing manner. He stumbled back a few steps, but fortunately Lin Yu stepped forward and helped him up. Then, Lin Yu coldly said, "A descendant of a traitor dares to come to my Guanzhong and shout like that?"
"How dare you!"
"How dare you be so disrespectful to our vice president?"
Koji's men immediately began to reprimand him.
Koji Kameda waved his hand, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "We're here today to have a verbal duel. We'll rely on our skills. What's the point of just showing off our verbal prowess?"
Liu Siyun curled her lip. "The 'fish eye sect' makes a living by forging things, and they call petty theft a skill?"
Koji Kameda shook his head: "The antique business is business, profits and losses depend on one's own ability, and authenticity is not such a big deal."
Liu Zhongyi snorted and said, "For you petty people, antiques are a business, but for our great nation, they are culture and faith. We are not as utilitarian and narrow-minded as you Japanese!"
Koji Kameda laughed heartily, then shook his head. "According to my ancestors, antiques are a reflection of the human heart! Human nature is inherently greedy. Using culture and faith to disguise oneself, and then flaunting morality, is utterly ridiculous!"
Liu Zhongyi shook his head: "Further words are useless. Let's settle this with our actions. Let's put an end to the grudges from a hundred years ago today!"
"Sign a death sentence!"
Liu Zhongyi shouted.
At this moment, a member of the Liu family came over with a petition.
Liu Zhongyi, his old eyes narrowed, said calmly, “According to the rules from a hundred years ago, since this is a verbal duel, a life-or-death agreement must be signed! If you succeed in your challenge, my Liu family will withdraw from the antique world and will never touch the antique business again! As for you, the challenger, if you fail, you must cut off your own hands and apologize to the patriarch! From now on, your Fish Eyes Sect will no longer be allowed to cause trouble!”
Koji Kameda sneered, “We naturally understand the rules from a hundred years ago! However, before we came here, my elder brother instructed me to add one more clause! If you lose, your entire Liu family must go to the tomb of my Zhao ancestors, kowtow and apologize, and keep vigil for three years!”
hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock.
These Japanese are ruthless!
Making the Liu family kowtow and apologize to the notorious traitor, and even keep vigil over his body? Isn't that an insult?
If the Liu family really does as instructed, how will they have any face to stand in the Great Xia Dynasty in the future?
That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!
“Grandpa…” Liu Siyun looked worried and couldn’t help but bite her lips.
Liu Zhongyi waved his hand and said, "Fine! I, Liu Zhongyi, agree. Sign—the life-or-death contract!"
