Chapter 72 Taking Stock of the Results
The two avoided people all the way to Banyun Mountain and arrived at the valley. They then went directly into the space.
Once inside the space, Ye Ran could no longer contain her elation. "Did you see what they looked like? Hahaha..."
It's absolutely hilarious! That family is always so strange, always enjoying watching other people's misfortunes behind their backs.
So many people have watched this spectacle today, let's see how they'll act all high and mighty in the future..."
Lu Yi gently pulled Ye Ran, whose smile had softened, into his arms. "What's the big deal? It's still early..."
Today we only drained his resources, but next time it won't be so simple..."
Ye Ran smiled and nodded, "Of course, this is just the beginning, the real show is yet to come..."
After laughing, the two of them put the Xu family out of their minds and began to take stock of today's spoils.
Lu Yi ignored the gold and silver artifacts and carefully collected the antiques and calligraphy and paintings. He immediately refused when Ye Ran tried to help.
"Ranran, you don't need to worry about these things. They're already very fragile, and they could easily suffer irreversible damage if you're not careful."
"Ah? Then I'll go pack the other things." Ye Ran turned around and started packing the sturdy tools after hearing Lu Yi's words.
As Ye Ran tidied up, she asked Lu Yi, "Lu Yi, how come you seem to know so much about these things?"
Lu Yi looked at the calligraphy and painting in his hands with affection, carefully rolled it up, and when he heard Ye Ran's question, he smiled and replied, "We only had a brief encounter..."
My grandfather was an avid antique collector, and I grew up around him, so I learned a lot about this subject.
I'm alright, but I'm heartbroken that these precious cultural relics have been treated so poorly. If my grandfather saw how these relics have been preserved, he would probably faint from heartache..."
Hearing his words, Ye Ran chuckled, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
Lu Yi nodded. "I'm not exaggerating at all. If you meet my grandfather, you'll know whether what I said is true or not."
The reality is even more exaggerated than I've described; you haven't witnessed the obsession of an antique enthusiast.
Ye Ran clicked her tongue in astonishment, "Is it really that exaggerated? No wonder those antiques were able to sell for such high prices later on..."
Seeing Ye Ran's adorable expression of frowning and clicking her tongue, Lu Yi felt a ripple of emotion in his heart.
"Those are all items that can be auctioned off. The truly valuable cultural relics and antiques are priceless."
It can never be measured in monetary terms, because its inherent historical value far surpasses its monetary worth; those in the know will not sell it casually.
Ye Ran nodded, seemingly understanding, "Oh...so you're an antique enthusiast too?"
Lu Yi shook his head. "No, I just feel a little sorry to see these antiques being treated like this."
"So what do you like?" Ye Ran asked curiously.
She still doesn't know what Lu Yi likes. He seems to know a little bit about everything, but he also seems to care about nothing in particular...
Lu Yi raised a finger to his shimmering, captivating eyes. "Guess?"
Ye Ran stuck out her tongue a little shyly, "That's why I asked you... I didn't know..."
I'm really curious, please tell me...
Lu Yi's smile deepened: "I've always been interested in all sorts of things, but as for what I truly like..."
