Facing Lin Han's suspicion and Yue Ying's questioning, Yue Ao glanced at the people around him, then sighed helplessly and whispered:
"That guy bribed a lot of people in Xidu Province to change their confessions. One person even turned himself in and said he was the one who cheated."
"So?" Lin Han narrowed his eyes and looked at Yue Ao with some confusion.
"There is not enough evidence now, so we can't prove that he is a cheater. So he came to participate in the competition, and we can't stop him."
"So we're just going to let him do this right under our noses? Let him taint the fairness and justice we uphold?"
Yueying gritted her teeth, looked at Du Rongsheng walking away, and clenched her fists in unwillingness.
"No, this is our territory, and since we won't tolerate this happening, we just need to defeat him. If we defeat him here, he won't be able to play these little tricks anymore."
Yue Ao also clenched his fists. He naturally could not tolerate such things.
Want to buy the title of treasure appraiser with money? That's an insult to them!
"That's it? There's no way to punish him like that!"
Yueying was right. Even if Du Rongsheng couldn’t get the title of treasure appraiser this time, he could still get it in the next treasure appraisal competition.
With his despicable cheating skills, it was not difficult for him to get the title of treasure appraiser.
"I know!" Yue Ao nodded, but did not feel helpless. He turned around to look at Du Rongsheng's back with a smile on his face.
"I know the result very well, but we have to eat one bite at a time. At least this time, I want to see his expression after he loses. You guys want to see it too, right?"
Lin Han and Yue Ying also looked over and smiled.
Of course, they wanted to see the expression of the successful Du Rongsheng when he was defeated.
"If you can't kill him in one go, then do it a few more times. If he's a masochist, that's fine, but if not, then his expression will be really interesting."
Lin Han raised the corner of his mouth. He was not worried about what Du Rongsheng could do.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
A defeated general is a defeated general, no matter how many times he comes, it's the same.
He likes to lose, so let him lose more times!
"So what do you need me to do?"
"No need to do anything, I will beat him fair and square in the competition!"
"Looking forward to your performance! You will get the most authoritative treasure appraiser medal later!" Yue Ao patted Lin Han on the shoulder and nodded with great satisfaction.
The competition was held in the Treasure Appraisers Association Building. More and more people came and the place gradually became overcrowded.
This is natural. After all, this is the most authoritative and symbolic place for treasure appraisers in this treasure city.
Many treasure appraisers and many prominent families want to come here, but after all, the space in the competition venue is limited. The only people who can really come here, except for the treasure appraisers participating in the competition, are people of noble status.
However, this match will be broadcast live so that people on other floors and even the entire Baocheng City can see it.
It can be said that it is attracting everyone's attention.
And now, this much anticipated treasure appraisal competition is about to begin!
The hosts were two of the three old men Lin Han had met before, the two people other than Yueying’s grandfather.
Such a grand competition naturally requires people of their status to host it.
They even want to witness the strength of the up-and-coming talents. If they are too weak, they will be very disappointed.
Hundreds of strings and tens of thousands of firecrackers blasted outside the building, telling the people of the entire Baocheng city a message.
The game begins!
The old man sitting on the left behind the table on the high platform stood up. There was a left hand embroidered on his clothes. He was Yueying’s grandfather and also the left hand of the Treasure Appraisers Association.
The Treasure Appraisers Association has always had only three powerful people in each era who are responsible for everything.
There is a head on Yueying’s grandfather’s clothes, symbolizing that he is the highest authority and the head of the Treasure Appraisers Association.
The other is the right hand, which has the same power as the left hand but is in charge of different areas.
The left hand holds the information of countless treasure appraisers and is responsible for communicating and coordinating with them.
The right hand is responsible for treasure appraisal, which is the process of identification and evaluation of antiques and cultural relics.
The leader is responsible for controlling the left and right hands. It can veto their decisions, issue higher-level instructions, and take over their duties.
This "left hand" is named Chen Dao, and people who respect him call him Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen was wearing very high-degree reading glasses. He picked up the manuscript on the table with his trembling skinny hands. With his other hand, he grabbed the microphone on the table and began to speak slowly.
"First... let me introduce... the contestants."
"The first one is Lin Han, the first place winner of the Xidu Province Treasure Appraisal Competition." Upon hearing his name, Lin Han stepped forward and entered a competition arena similar to that of Xidu Province.
"The second place is Du Rongsheng, the second place winner of the Xidu Province Treasure Appraisal Competition." Du Rongsheng also came up.
"Third place..."
By the time he had mentioned a bunch of names, half an hour had passed and many people could no longer wait.
However, considering that he was an old man and had his left hand, no one complained.
There were a lot of contestants, probably hundreds of them, all crowded on the stage.
However, their strengths vary greatly. Many people are not like Lin Han who won the first place in the local treasure appraisal competition, but instead took the initiative to sign up to participate.
Smart people would not do this, because it would be beyond one's ability to participate in the treasure appraisal competition organized by the Treasure Appraisers Association if one has not even won a local treasure appraisal competition.
Many treasure appraisers came but did not sign up. Instead, they watched from the side because they all understood this principle.
It's not embarrassing to watch it, and you can learn something. But if you don't have the ability to go up, you will be treated as a joke.
There's no shame in losing one or two games, but if you lose enough, you'll be laughed at.
And in this place, they will lose miserably!
"Today's competition is conducted according to the rules of one elimination round and three points rounds. The person with the highest score at the end wins."
The rules are the same as those in Xidu Province. First, a group of people who are not up to the standard will be eliminated, and then the winner will be decided!
Indeed, it was the same as in Xidu Province, but it was only true for Lin Han and Du Rongsheng. They were both from Xidu Province, with the same rules of the game and the same enemies!
Lin Han turned his head and looked at Du Rongsheng, and Du Rongsheng also turned his head and looked at him.
Afterwards, both of them looked straight ahead with disdain, watching the staff bring up the equipment for the competition.
There are two familiar glass cabinets. Lin Han has two identical blue and white porcelain square-mouthed vases, the kind used for flower arrangement. I heard that they were also used to store wine in the past.
"The rules are this: distinguish true from false. If you recognize the real thing, you will pass. If you recognize the wrong thing, you will be eliminated."
