After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Ye Tian, ​​how about we get an antique instead?"

This tomb guardian beast exudes too much yin energy, and winning this match is virtually impossible.

Su Youwei tried to persuade him again, saying that although she knew Ye Tian's ability to appraise treasures was extraordinary, the actual value of this tomb guardian beast was undeniable.

Once you've made your choice, there's no going back.

"I examined this item carefully, and it is indeed a genuine artifact from the Tang Dynasty."

Regardless of the craftsmanship, crackle pattern, or glaze color, it all conforms to the characteristics of the era.

However, this object exudes malevolent energy and, having endured for thousands of years, remains shrouded in filth and evil, making it no longer merely an antique or work of art.

Moreover, few people are willing to privately collect tomb guardian beasts, which means that their value can never be too high.

I sincerely suggest you choose an antique for this competition.

With your abilities, you could definitely find an antique better than this tomb guardian beast.

Su Youwei took a deep breath, shifted her gaze from the tomb guardian beast, and looked directly at Ye Tian.

His eyes were filled with deep concern and worry.

"Miss Su, are you worried about me?"

Don't worry, some things can't be judged by appearances alone.

Ye Tian looked at Su Youwei's bright and beautiful features and her graceful figure, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Just then, Chen Tai arrived in front of Ye Tian with his men.

"Ye Tian, ​​you're planning to use this thing in the competition?"

Don't say I didn't give you a chance; I'll allow you to go and find another one.

Chen Tai leaned forward slightly, gesturing for him to enter.

"Winning against a piece of trash like you is enough." Ye Tian's voice wasn't loud, but everyone around him heard it.

"Hahaha, Ye Tian, ​​since you're in such a hurry to die, then I'll send you on your way."

Chen Taizhi stood smugly in the center of the hall, with three renowned antique experts standing behind him.

"Friends!" Chen Tai's voice was loud and clear, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"What I'm about to show you is no ordinary antique."

Rather, each and every one of them is a priceless treasure!

"The first item is a white jade dragon seal from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, worth 200 million yuan."

The second item is a Qing Dynasty Kangxi period enamel-painted floral bowl, valued at 300 million yuan.

The third item is a Qing Dynasty Qianlong period famille rose openwork revolving vase, valued at 500 million yuan.

Ye Tian, ​​this piece of junk in your hand is worth at most 100 million.

These three treasures of mine are no match for any of yours. You're going to lose badly this time.

We made it clear beforehand that if you lose even one game, you're out of the game.

Seeing you lose like that, should I be happy, or should I be happy? Hahaha!

Chen Tai burst into unrestrained laughter. His gaze swept over everyone in the hall, finally settling on Ye Tian, ​​a sneer curling at the corner of his lips.

"Ye Tian, ​​no matter how many heads and six arms you have, you still lost to me."

Having only studied the art of treasure appraisal for a few days, he dares to arrogantly provoke me.

"If you try to fight me, no one in the entire Jiangcheng is my match, and you're no exception..."

Chen Tai loved the feeling of trampling people under his feet; it felt so good.

A gasp and commotion immediately erupted in the hall.

All eyes in the room instantly focused on Ye Tian.

Some gloated, some felt sorry, and a few had solemn expressions.

Ye Tian didn't even glance at Chen Tai, but walked straight to the display stand in the center of the hall.

He held the tomb guardian beast in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the hundreds of faces below the stage.

"Friends, you all agree that this tomb guardian beast in my hand has lost to Chen Tai, right?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to every corner.

"Ye Tian, ​​stop being so mysterious. Anyone who knows anything can see the value of your tomb guardian beast at a glance."

"At most, it's a hundred million. Didn't you lose?"

Chen Tai's mocking voice rang out again.

Although the crowd below remained silent, their expressions clearly indicated that this tomb guardian beast was not actually that valuable.

"Gentlemen, when looking at something, you can't just look at the surface."

"Let me peel back this outer layer, then you can see how much it's worth."

Before Ye Tian could finish speaking, Chen Tai couldn't sit still any longer: "Nonsense!"

This tomb guardian beast is made of porcelain, so where did the outer skin come from?

You can fool people who don't know anything about antiques, but you actually managed to fool these antique experts?

"You're really courting death!" Chen Tai shouted sternly.

"I know words are meaningless, and you might not believe me, so let the facts speak for themselves!"

Ye Tian suddenly exerted force, and the porcelain covering the tomb guardian beast peeled off piece by piece.

They quickly revealed their true colors.

"There's actually a top-quality jade carving of a tomb guardian beast inside?"

"No, there seems to be a dragon faintly visible within this exquisite jade!"

"This is the supreme jadeite, the Dragon Stone variety?"

Good heavens, we've searched so hard, but we can't find even a small piece of dragon stone.

Someone actually used such a large piece of dragon-stone to carve a tomb guardian beast? That's incredibly extravagant!

All the antique dealers gathered in the hall were stunned into silence.

"Such a large piece of top-grade jadeite dragon stone is worth at least two billion yuan."

It's worth more than all three of Chen Tai's treasures combined.

I didn't expect Boss Ye to be so skilled after all.

The applause for Ye Tian from the audience rose and fell, never ceasing.

Su Youwei's eyes widened, her mouth agape in astonishment.

Ye Tian just said that you can't judge a book by its cover. It turns out he had already figured out that there was an even more valuable one inside this tomb guardian beast.

I was worried about him for nothing.

Su Youwei pressed one hand against her prominent chest, trying to calm herself down and not get too excited.

"Ye Tian, ​​how dare you mess with me?" Chen Tai immediately realized what was happening and was furious.

"I told you long ago not to be too happy, because excessive joy can easily turn into sorrow."

I have another piece of good news for you.

This tomb guardian beast is the Zhou family's mysterious antique.

Am I right, Mr. Ma?

Ye Tian smiled and looked at Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunxige, on the exhibition stand not far away.

"Boss Ye is indeed very perceptive; nothing can be hidden from you."

"That's right, this tomb guardian beast is the mysterious antique that the Zhou family sent over."

Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunxi Pavilion, said something that caused a series of gasps from the hundreds of antique dealers in the audience.

"Is this the Zhou family's mysterious antique? It's said to contain the secret to immense wealth."

Whoever manages to obtain this mysterious antique might have a chance to find the Zhou family's vast collection of antiques, enough to make them incredibly wealthy.

The way everyone looked at Ye Tian changed instantly.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly thought of the eight words Li Chunfeng had said: "No destruction, no construction; go with the flow."

The saying "no destruction, no construction" likely refers to the tomb guardian beast, whose true form can only be revealed by breaking the outer layer of porcelain.

What does "let nature take its course" mean?

"Ye Tian, ​​give me the Dragon Stone Tomb Guardian Beast you have."

"Or I'll kill you right now!"

Chen Tai and Ye Tian had long been sworn enemies, and he didn't care about completely breaking off relations at this moment.

He suddenly made a hand gesture, and in an instant, dozens of burly men in black emerged from the safety passages around the venue.

Their temples bulged, their eyes fierce, and their movements swift and silent, instantly surrounding Ye Tian.

The menacing aura emanating from these people was far beyond that of ordinary bodyguards; they were clearly ancient martial arts masters raised by the Chen family, the Chen family's shadow guards.
