Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

After Big Gold Tooth finished speaking, Fatty Wang wailed, "Then wouldn't that mean..."

I've figured it out, Fatty.

There's nowhere to find bargains!

Upon hearing this, Big Gold Tooth chuckled: "Fatty, you'd better stick to tomb raiding. Compared to this 'finding bargains' thing..."

What is the probability of you encountering this thing while tomb raiding?

They're all higher than outside.

To be honest,

This Yongle-era "pressed-hand cup" is something that is "rarely seen and hard to come by."

The girl you met today was lucky.

And this heavy-handed cup is in excellent condition.

To someone unfamiliar with the craft, it might look brand new at first glance, especially since there's no signature at the bottom.

That's how that girl managed to snag a bargain.

He paused for a moment,

Then he continued, "Moreover, based on your and Young Master Zhou's guesses,..."

I can narrow down the scope for you two a bit more.

There are plenty of people in the world who are knowledgeable about antiques, skilled with knives, and have good physical abilities, but if you add knowledge of antiques to that list...

That greatly narrows down the scope.

Upon hearing this, a hint of speculation flashed in Zhou Nanbei's eyes.

But he quickly suppressed it.

Because the woman said that they would meet again soon.

.........

the other side,

Inside a quaint courtyard house, Ye Xuan walked in, in a good mood.

As soon as I walked in,

She heard the sound of blades cutting through the air, but she wasn't surprised; she'd heard it since she was a child.

Go inside,

He glanced at the young man who was brandishing a knife before lying down on the recliner.

A deep, resonant voice rang out: "Xuan'er, you seem to be in a good mood today."

They walk with a swagger.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Father, you know..."

Did I run into anyone today?

The young man spoke calmly:

"Who did you run into?"

Ye Xuan glanced at her father with amusement and said softly, "I won't say whose daughter it is."

All I can tell you is that his surname is Zhou.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man abruptly stopped swinging the knife in his hand.

He looked at Michelle Ye.

"Is he Brother Zhou's grandson?"

Ye Xuan looked at her father's huge reaction.

A slight smile played on his lips.

"Dad, weren't you being pretty calm?"

The young man glanced speechlessly at his daughter.

He raised the back of the knife in his hand.

"Speak quickly, or your father's blade won't accept your backside."

Ye Xuan blushed: "Dad~ how old am I?"

You're using this to threaten me.

The young man didn't reply, but simply flicked the back of his blade with his finger, and a sharp, ringing sound immediately rang out.

Although nothing was said,

But it also seems like everything has been said.

Ye Xuan said irritably, "I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

I'm truly impressed by you, old man.

finished,

Then he explained: "Today I found a bargain in Panjiayuan, a piece from the Yongle period."

When making a "pressed cup"

I heard someone say I was like a knife, a knife with its sharp edge exposed, but when I turned around, it was just a child.

He was accompanied by a fat man, but his strength was not to be underestimated; he was at least a master of Chinese martial arts at the Transformation Realm. At first, I just thought he was some young master from a wealthy family.

But then I heard that person call him "Young Master Zhou," so I followed him and listened the whole way.

I'm about 80% sure.

That man was Grandpa Zhou's grandson, so I gave him the heavy-handed cup as a greeting gift.

Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly: "Well done."

That person must be "Fatty Wang".

He's Brother Zhou's grandson, and one of his recent recruits.

Listening to his father's words,

Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Father, how did you know?"

"Didn't we just arrive in Beijing?"

Hearing this, the young man rolled his eyes at Ye Xuan: "Do you think everyone is like you?"

All you do when you get here is wander around?

This is what my people have found out over the past few days. If you want to know more, there are documents on the desk in the study.

You can see for yourself.

After saying that, he continued practicing his swordsmanship, and the sound of swords cutting through the air rang out again.

…………

It was six o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Nanbei took the car from the New Moon Hotel and headed back home.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhou Nanbei walked into the Crescent Moon Hotel and looked at Qinglian next to him.

"Sister Qinglian, where is my sister Man?"

Qinglian said gently, "Young Master Zhou, the manager and the young lady..."

In a private room on the second floor.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly: "I understand."

Sister Qinglian,

Have the kitchen prepare some food and send it to the private room on the second floor. I'll go upstairs to find Sister Man and the others first.

finished,

He turned and ran upstairs.

.........

A moment later, Zhou Nanbei found Yin Nanfeng and Shengshengman chatting in the private room and walked in with a smile.

"Sister Man, Sister Nanfeng"

I'm back.

Sheng Sheng Man smiled gently: "Little Nanbei is back."

Did you have fun today?

As Zhou Nanbei spoke, he walked towards the side of Sheng Sheng Man, saying, "Of course they'll be happy!"

You have no idea how funny fat guys can be.

After saying that, he sat down next to Sheng Sheng Man, and suddenly added, "By the way, Sister Man, I met someone today..."

A special person.

Yin Nanfeng raised an eyebrow: "A special person?"

Xiao Nanbei

"If even you think someone is special, then that's interesting. Tell me about it, sister, and let me hear it slowly."

Zhou Nanbei recounted Ye Xuan's story.

He took the pressure cup out of the space.

It was placed on the table.

"Sister Man, Sister Nanfeng, look, this is her."

The mug they gave me to press down on my hand.

Sheng Sheng Man thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Xiao Nanbei,"

The person you're talking about, my sister doesn't know.

However, since it involves a knife and she knows Grandpa Zhou's elders, the scope is quite limited. But it's just the few her sister knows...

None of them have the surname Ye.

Zhou Nanbei shrugged indifferently: "It's nothing."

Anyway, she said it.

We'll see each other again soon.

Yin Nanfeng, however, was toying with the heavy cup in his hand.

He began, "That's quite a grand gesture, treating something like this as..."

Meeting gift,

"Tsk tsk, Little Nanbei, you were born into a better family than your older sister."

He then added, "This thing has extremely high collectible value."

If Xiao Nanbei could come up with something...

"We can consign items for auction. There are quite a few people here this time, so we can get a good price."

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly: "Not for sale. This thing isn't from a tomb."

It was tinkered with.

I'll just keep it as a small accessory.

Yin Nanfeng handed it to Zhou Nanbei: "Little Nanbei,

You're really quite generous.

Such a precious item is being sold as a handheld piece.

Zhou Nanbei, having nothing better to do, would chat and joke around with Yin Nanfeng.

.........

Fifteen minutes later,

The food was served, and Zhou Nanbei began to eat heartily.

But the sound is slow and gentle.

Holding the heavy cup, she fell into deep thought. After all, in her eyes, the person who gave her the gift was still an unknown.

They got this close to Zhou Nanbei.

She wasn't entirely at ease.

.........

It was 9:30 p.m., and Zhou Nanbei was about to take a shower.

A knock came at the door.

I went over and opened the door, and there stood Sheng Sheng Man, holding a bag of clothes.

Zhou Nanbei couldn't help but make a joke.

"Has Sister Man finally come to her senses and wants to be my wife?"

She walked in slowly, her voice gentle.

She began, "You're always talking nonsense. I'm here to bring you clothes."

My sister brought this back from Rongjinzhai at noon, but Xiao Nanbei wasn't at the Xinyue Hotel in the afternoon.

The older sister couldn't just go into Xiao Nanbei's room without permission, so...

My sister brought it to you.

She opened the wardrobe and started hanging up clothes.

Zhou Nanbei's eyes lit up.

"Sister Man, what about all your pretty clothes?"

Did you get it back?

Sheng Shengman turned around and looked at Zhou Nanbei with amusement: "What?"

"Does Xiao Nanbei want to see it?"

Zhou Nanbei nodded repeatedly, but before he knew it, he had slowly hung up the clothes.

He walked up to Zhou Nanbei,

After bending down and kissing Zhou Nanbei on the forehead, he left with the words, "Little Nanbei, you're not being honest."

I want to see my sister wear pretty clothes.

"You'll see it tomorrow," she said, then turned and left.
