After obtaining solid evidence, Du Yuqi raised doubts, but he would not say directly that it was used by Wang Yangming, as that would increase the value of the inkstone.

Seeing the two sides arguing endlessly, Michelle felt quite overwhelmed, so she simply said that Mr. Ye happened to be here, so why not ask him to take a look. Only then did Du Yuqi know that the old man he met on the terrace before was called Mr. Ye, a master in the collection world and an authority in this industry. Naturally, both sides had no objections.

When Michelle went to invite Mr. Ye, it took a long time for her to come back. When she came back, she quietly asked Mr. Chu about Du Yuqi's background.

It turned out that Mr. Ye was already feeling tired and went to rest, so he rejected the offer out of hand. Michelle was about to leave, but unexpectedly he asked again if it was the young man who had been sitting on the terrace before who invited him. Then he nodded in agreement, saying that he would come over with his equipment for identifying antiques.

Michelle, a woman who has been in the workplace for a long time, is already very smart. How could she not tell that this Mr. Ye came for Du Yuqi's sake! This is really a bit strange. To be honest, according to Mr. Ye's status and position, even if Mr. Chu's father came, he would not be so enthusiastic. For a moment, Michelle looked at Du Yuqi with a strange look in her eyes. It is estimated that some strange thoughts of a rich and noble son must have occurred to her.

There is no need to say much about what happened next. Du Yuqi was right. This Mr. Ye was a real talent. So after some research, he told the owner that this inkstone was indeed not from Zheng Banqiao, but from the earlier Ming Dynasty. However, Mr. Ye was not able to verify that this was Wang Yangming's inkstone, so the final appraisal price he gave was not too high.

The customer was convinced and finally agreed to sell the item at the appraised price.

After the transaction was completed, Mr. Ye suddenly called Du Yuqi and said with a smile:

"My dear brother, how about I discuss something with you?"

Du Yuqi had also noticed that Mr. Ye had been paying attention to him. In addition, he had also clearly felt that the old man was showing goodwill during the previous transaction. Such a person could be said to be old and cunning, and he must have some ulterior motive. Now the ulterior motive was revealed, but Du Yuqi was not afraid of the other party's means, which was nothing more than plundering by trickery, so he nodded and smiled:

"OK."

However, Mr. Ye did not continue to speak, but smiled and looked at the people next to him. It was obvious that the place was going to be cleared. The others also left tactfully. At this time, Mr. Ye said:

"I wonder if I could take a look at the ring on your finger?"

Du Yuqi was stunned. He was wearing two rings on his hands, one was a dimensional ring and the other was a Valangir. He usually turned the dimensional ring facing inwards, making it almost invisible. As for the Valangir, it had a hidden effect in the sealed land, so he always kept it on his finger and would not take it off.

Because this matter had become a habit, Du Yuqi had forgotten about it even after returning to the safety of Earth. Obviously, the ring that Ye Lao wanted to see at this time was Valangir. Du Yuqi looked at the ring and found that it would probably look like a pearl ring after coming to Earth, and the little white octopus living in it would not slip out at all, so he took it off and handed it to Ye Lao.

After Mr. Ye carefully examined it, he used a series of tools to identify it. Finally, Du Yuqi found that his hands were shaking, obviously very excited. After a while, he calmed down and said:

"Little brother, where did you get this ring?"

Du Yuqi smiled slightly, reached out to ask for the ring back, put it on again under Ye Lao's reluctant gaze, and then said:

"It's not convenient to disclose this."

Ye Lao clenched his hands into fists, veins bulging on them, and said excitedly:

"So are you going to sell it or not? Sell it or not!! I see you are all buying antiques. I have been in this business since I was seventeen, and it has been sixty years now. I even built a museum to house my collection. There are eight hundred and thirty-four pieces in total, and twenty-one of them are national treasures. If you want money, just name your price. Even if I can't get it right away, I guarantee that I can borrow it within a week. If you want antiques, just go to my museum and pick any three pieces!"

Du Yuqi wanted to refuse outright, but suddenly something occurred to him, so he deliberately hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly:

"No, no, I won't sell it."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left, looking like he didn't dare to listen any more for fear of giving in. This old man Ye didn't call Du Yuqi, but instead showed a smile. In his opinion, as long as he didn't refuse outright, he would have a great chance of getting it, and it would be bad for him to press on at this time.

Just like fishing, if you only know how to reel in the line, the fish will get off the hook. When fishing for big fish, you reel in one meter of line and let out half a meter. You have to use up all the energy of the fish before you can catch it. This old man has lived for so many years, how could he not understand this kind of thing?

…

Next, Du Yuqi handed the three bottles of medicine to Mr. Chu, who left happily. At this time, he had already realized that the medicine Du Yuqi got was not just a medicine, but a very good gift, which could be said to be a rare commodity.

Du Yuqi summoned out his own exclusive altar and successfully sacrificed the two items containing the power of time. The last time he entered the continent of Arad, he was summoned by Yangzi and the others, and the evaluation he received in the end was naturally very high, but he only got one Holy Crown. The two artifacts he sacrificed at this time only exchanged for three Holy Crowns.

You know, for Du Yuqi, the more of this stuff, the better. It takes Holy Kronor to start a plane journey, and it also takes Holy Kronor to activate the followers' related abilities. Without Holy Kronor, even Jet's passive skills can't be used... Du Yuqi is very worried.

It is precisely because of this that he used an ambiguous attitude to lure out this old man Ye. For some unknown reason, this old man was actually plotting against his Valangir. Du Yuqi must find out the reason behind this.

At the same time, he claimed that he had more than 800 collections, which made Du Yuqi jealous. Even if the old man was bragging, it should be no problem to give him a 50% discount! As for national treasures, Du Yuqi didn't care much. Money was really not important to him. If he could pick out ten or so pieces to offer as sacrifices, he would be satisfied.

While he was pondering, Du Yuqi suddenly felt the phone ring again. He saw that it was his mother calling. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard her chattering on and on about how no one answered the phone and whether he was naughty again. Du Yuqi listened to her obediently. It was more than half an hour later that he finally found time to ask how his parents were doing over there.

Du Yuqi's parents joined the Torch Project to go abroad for aid construction and they just left not long ago. Although they had received support from the government and were well taken care of in the past, they were always uncomfortable in a foreign country. Of course, they couldn't say these words to their child. After a few words, they took the initiative to ask Du Yuqi if he had enough money. In his parents' hearts, they had already prepared themselves to listen to his complaints and then give him money.

However, Du Yuqi's reply surprised them. She actually said that she had earned a lot of money working outside and no longer needed living expenses. This really made the two of them sigh with emotion and they felt that their child had really grown up.

…

at the same time.

In the world of Arad.

Lin and his team were saying goodbye to the members of the Steel Bear Knights. The Whip of Redemption also came in person, hugged Lin, and said take care to each other.

Both sides seemed very enthusiastic, but one could feel that there seemed to be an undercurrent.

After Lin, Xi, and Changchong had left, the Steel Bear Knights' high-ranking officials gathered in the meeting room again. The Hand of Repentance, Morofa, was present. He spoke anxiously without waiting for anyone to sit down:

"We can't let them go. It's still not too late to send someone to stop them. Apart from anything else, Lin and the missing priest Du must have mutated Terra Stone on them. How could they take such treasures away so easily?"
