"Am I seeing things? Was the one who came down just now to welcome you, Young Master Gathering Treasures House? "
A young man in a suit opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief on his face.
He had come to the Gathering Treasures House quite a few times already, but he had yet to see the Young Master of the Gathering Treasures House personally coming out to greet anyone!
"I'm afraid it's another young master from another clan. He looks quite handsome, if he can get his hands on one …" A young girl wearing a long skirt said in a low voice.
Hearing the young girl's words, her best friend who was beside her knocked on her hand and said in a bad mood, "Wake up, the handsome guy is already far away!"
"There's no need to guess. That person is Elder Wei's friend, every time he comes to Gathering Treasures House, he goes straight to the second floor. Originally, there should not be a need for the Young Master to come out to welcome him, probably because the person below is a new staff member, so Elder Wei is worried that there might be some kind of misunderstanding!"
A middle-aged uncle who often wandered around the Treasure House said in a complacent manner. As his voice faded, the surroundings once again burst into exclamations.
He was Old Wei's friend, what level of a big shot was that!
Xiao Tian naturally did not know about these things. Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, he went to a quiet room on the second floor.
A hale old man in Tang suit was leaning on a wooden chair with a pipe in his hand. This old man was the leader of Gathering Treasures House, Wei Hong!
There were two people standing beside Wei Hong.
On the left side, there was an older man wearing reading glasses. He had a lot of white hair but his eyes were not cloudy. On the right side, there was a fat middle-aged man who was looking at Xiao Tian with an unfriendly expression.
"Little Tian is here. Come, sit," Wei Hong hurriedly greeted Xiao Tian after he saw him. He then pointed at the old man with the reading glasses and introduced him, "This is the famous Great Hidden King from Nanjiang City, Master Wang Guan."
"I've heard a lot about you," Xiao Tian cupped his hands towards Wang Guan with a calm expression.
Although he had some reputation in the area of collection, he was not so arrogant as to think that everyone in the world should know of him.
"This is the number one painter in the country, Master Ji Eleven!" Wei Hong pointed to the fat middle-aged man and introduced him.
"Nice to meet you," Xiao Tian glanced at Ji Eleven with a perfunctory expression.
This Ji Eleven had been giving him a hard time ever since he entered the room. Naturally, he wouldn't try to cover up for others by showing his hot face!
"Humph!" Ji Eleven snorted and did not reply.
Wei Hong frowned when he saw Ji Eleven's expression, but did not say anything.
Now that he had a favor to ask of Ji Eleven, he could only allow him to do as he pleased!
"Little Tian, have you brought your Raven Diagram? For Master Ji to be able to help him slap his eyes, Master Ji has been looking at calligraphy and painting for so many years but has never done so. By the way, Little Tian, you should be relieved now, right? " Wei Hong smiled at Xiao Tian.
"Hmph, a fake eye, what's there to look at?" Ji Eleven said unhappily.
No wonder he was like this, today he just happened to have a copy of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. He was planning to study it for a while, but Wei Hong found him and asked him to help look at a set of Tang Yin's Raven Diagram!
Initially, they were in high spirits, but after being interrupted like this, no one would look good.
Wei Hong was his financial backer, so naturally, he could not be angry at Wei Hong. Therefore, he shifted all his anger onto Xiao Tian.
"You'll know whether it's real or fake once you see it," Xiao Tian said plainly as he placed the ancient painting scroll on the table.
"Brat, you're crazy about money!" Ji Eleven teased, "Tang Yin's Raven Diagram has appeared quite a few times, but they are all copies of the same thing. The people in the circle have speculated that his real ones have probably been destroyed in the battle.
"What if I really have the ability?" Xiao Tian said lightly with a bit of ridicule on his face.
"If it's real, I'll eat it on the spot!" Ji Eleven disdainfully said as he reached for the scroll on the table, "Today, I will expose your fakes and let your heart die!"
"Stop!" Xiao Tian suddenly spoke up and at the same time, reached out his hand to block Ji Eleven's palm.
"Kid, are you afraid?" A sneer appeared on Ji Eleven's face and he said coldly, "It's too late! You actually dare to use a fake Gathering Treasures House to trick us, just you wait until your reputation stinks on the streets! "
"I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it!" Being mocked by others the whole time, even though Xiao Tian was good at recovering his Qi, he still couldn't help but get angry and mocked immediately.
"What a joke!" Hearing that, Ji Eleven disdainfully said, "Old Master Wei and Old Master Wang are both here, so why don't you let them be witnesses? If this Raven Diagram of yours is real, I will eat it on the spot and compensate you for your losses!"
Xiao Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light and said in a deep voice, "Then why not go downstairs? There are more people there!"
It was hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words!
What's more, this Ji Eleven was glaring at him from the moment he entered the door. Xiao Tian was not a magnanimous person and since this Ji Eleven dared to provoke him, he didn't mind ruining his reputation!
"Brat, if you want to die, then I can't do anything about it! Downstairs is downstairs! " Ji Eleven laughed coldly and walked down the stairs.
Xiao Tian grabbed The Raven Diagram and followed. The Wu father, son, and Wang Guan looked at each other and followed with a wry smile.
