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

"Mr. Ye, you agree? We haven't discussed payment yet."

Sun Yutang didn't expect Ye Tian to agree so readily.

"I happen to be looking to buy top-quality jadeite. You help me get into the Treasure Hunt Trading Conference, and I'll help you appraise antiques. We can help each other out, so why talk about compensation?"

If Sun Yutang could help him find top-quality jade, that would already be a huge help. Ye Tian's appraisal of the antiques was just repaying a favor. How could he possibly accept any reward from him?

"Mr. Ye, based on what you said, I'm determined to be your friend."

If you need any help at the Ghost Market in the future, please feel free to ask.

I, Sun Yutang, will certainly do everything in my power to help.

A good antique appraisal expert can charge at least several million for appraising items worth tens of millions.

It's not unusual for Ye Tian to be able to tell the authenticity of a Yuan Shikai silver dollar at a glance, because many antique experts can do that.

But the fact that he could discern from a pile of garbage that the exterior of the broken stove was completely covered in grime and had no clues to prove its true nature, and still determine that it was a valuable Xuande stove, is simply unbelievable.

It's as if he has eyes that can see through everything.

This extraordinary ability was something Sun Yutang had never seen before in his life.

He believed that no one but Ye Tian could do this.

That's why he asked Ye Tian to go with him to the Treasure Hunting and Trading Conference to help appraise antiques.

Ye Tian could have easily earned a substantial appraisal fee through his own abilities, but he chose not to accept a single penny.

For Sun Yutang, Ye Tian's actions deserved to be repaid with the highest honors.

"Mr. Sun, you're too kind. It's settled then."

"While we still have time, let's go check out the ghost market one more time. See you tonight."

Ye Tian checked the time; it was not yet 3 PM, and the evening's treasure-hunting trade fair wouldn't start until 6 PM.

They still have three hours; they might as well look for clues about the Jade Dancer.

Ye Tian and his two companions had just left the restaurant and were strolling through the ghost market when they suddenly heard an argument ahead.

There were about five or six men, all burly and wearing flashy shirts with their chests open, revealing their chest hair and thick gold chains.

They were arrogantly surrounding a stall.

"Zhuoma, don't push your luck! The fact that I even took a liking to you, you worthless rock, is a favor I'm doing you a favor."

You haven't made a sale in three days, have you? If you don't make a sale soon, you won't even be able to afford food.

And you're still pretending to be high and mighty with me.

If you don't want to trade stones with me, you can come back with me.

I promise you'll eat and drink the best food every day, and several of us men will take turns sleeping with you, hahaha!

One of the sleazy-looking men was harassing the female stall owner as if no one else was around.

"Get out of my way! You think you can trade my red coral for your worthless pebbles? Dream on!"

In broad daylight, hurling vulgarities and harassing innocent women in the street—do you have no regard for the law?

A girl with a heavy Tibetan accent shouted sternly.

"The law? Hahaha, you've come to the ghost market to preach the law?"

Here, my fist is the law, and my rules are the rules.

"I advise you not to refuse a toast only to suffer a forfeit!" The sleazy thug shoved Zhuoma aside and snatched the red coral from her stall.

Zhuoma was shocked that he actually dared to rob her in the street. She screamed and stumbled backward!

"You bunch of robbers! Put those things down!"

Zhuoma stumbled and fell to the ground, her big eyes brimming with tears of grievance, but she bit her lip tightly to keep the tears from falling.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Tian's face instantly darkened.

"Mr. Ye, we should mind our own business. This place is not like Jiangcheng."

Zhang Shouren promptly placed his hand on Ye Tian's arm, his voice low as he tried to dissuade him.

Ye Tian took a deep breath. Reason told him that it would be unwise to get involved in the Ghost Market conflict when he was new to the area.

But seeing Zhuoma's helpless expression as she was bullied, and her eyes brimming with tears that she was trying so hard to hold back, Ye Tian felt as if a thorn had pierced his heart.

"Old Zhang, I know there are things I can't help doing, even though I know they'll cause trouble. Please stay in a safe place and don't come any closer."

Ye Tian pushed Zhang Shouren's hand away and walked out resolutely.

"What are you doing? Whether or not the item is for sale is up to the owner."

"What kind of skill is it for a bunch of grown men to bully a woman?"

Ye Tian's icy voice instantly reached their ears.

The five or six burly thugs were taken aback by Ye Tian's sudden appearance.

They looked Ye Tian up and down, and seeing that he was just a young stranger with no help, they immediately became arrogant again.

The thug who was leading the group walked up to Ye Tian and sneered with disdain: "Where the hell did you come from? You dare to meddle in my business?"

"Be smart and get out of here, or I'll take care of you too!"

"Slap!" Ye Tian delivered a resounding slap to the face.

"Who do you think you are, calling yourself 'I'? Believe me, if you swear at me again, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"

"you……"

"Snapped!"

The thug leader had barely uttered a word when Ye Tian slapped him again.

"Are you all dead? Get him together and kill him!"

The gang leader, clutching his swollen cheeks, roared at the others.

The others finally reacted and charged at Ye Tian with a roar.

"Bang bang bang..."

A few seconds later, all five or six people were lying on the ground, howling and screaming.

"Give it back and get out!" Ye Tian's voice was icy and devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, yes, brother, we were wrong."

We're blind to your true worth, so get lost!

The leader of the thugs looked at Ye Tian with a look of horror, and respectfully put the red coral he had just snatched back on Zhuoma's stall.

Then he and a few brothers ran away as fast as they could and disappeared without a trace.

He could take down five or six of their brothers in the blink of an eye; his skills were definitely beyond their ability to contend with.

If we don't run now, are we going to get another beating?

The onlookers looked at Ye Tian with fear.

Who would have thought that this young, harmless-looking handsome guy would actually be such a formidable and skilled fighter?

This was the first time Zhang Shouren and his bodyguards had ever seen Ye Tian make a move.

The shock in their eyes was no less than that in others.

"I never expected that President Ye would not only have such extraordinary appraisal skills, but also such remarkable physical abilities," Zhang Shouren said with a look of surprise.

"Boss, he's very strong, I'm no match for him."

Zhang Shouren was even more surprised when he heard what the bodyguard said.

His bodyguard is one of the best in the entire bodyguard industry. Even he admits that he is no match for him. How high must Ye Tian's fighting ability be at such a young age?

No wonder he ignored all advice and insisted on going up to fight for justice; it turns out he's a hidden master.

"Big brother, thank you for saving me."

The Tibetan girl came to Ye Tian with tears of gratitude in her eyes.

She has a pair of big, watery eyes, a high nose bridge, and two rosy cheeks from the high altitude.

She still had a touch of girlish shyness when she spoke to Ye Tian.

"Don't mention it, it was nothing."

Ye Tian looked at the girl in front of him. She was beautiful but didn't talk much. She had a kind of unadorned simplicity that was rare among city girls.

Moreover, she had a thick, long black braid in her hair, adorned with many turquoise and coral beads, making her stand out from the crowd at a glance.

"No, no, no, if it weren't for your help today, those thugs definitely wouldn't have let me go."

I will definitely repay you.

Is this your first time at the Ghost Market? I'm not doing business today, I'll be your guide for free.

I've been here for a while now, and I know this place better than you do.

Before Ye Tian could refuse, the Tibetan girl, Zhuoma, quickly packed her things.
