When Xu Lang saw the statue, he was stunned on the spot and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.

Even Wang Dongyang, who was playing with his mobile phone, noticed that his little brother stood there without moving for a long time.

Following Xu Lang's gaze, Wang Dongyang didn't see anything particularly noteworthy.

"Little brother?" he called tentatively.

"Ah?" Xu Lang came back to his senses.

"What are you looking at, little brother?" Wang Dongyang was very curious. When he took out the calligraphy copybook from the bottom of the box, Xu Lang did not show this expression.

"That one." Xu Lang pointed at the statue.

"This thing, what was I thinking at that time!" Wang Dongyang said as he picked up the statue and then put it on the table.

The force was so strong that Xu Lang's heart was gripped.

"This is a statue of the Queen Mother of the West made of some kind of dark wood. I bought it purely because I love the material. It is indeed an old piece of wood."

Wang Dongyang handed the statue to Xu Lang to smell. An ancient scent came over, making people feel as if they had returned to the ancient times when trees grew.

"This good dark wood can be called the essence of trees and the soul of wood, so the old people regard dark wood as a treasure to ward off evil, bring good fortune and protect the house. I just don't know what the previous carvers thought. With such good material, if you carve a Guanyin or something, it would have been sold long ago. Why carve Xuannv!"

Wang Dongyang weighed the sunken wood and found that it was indeed heavier than ordinary wood.

"Why? Brother, you want this. I'll have someone change it into a Guanyin and send it to you. You can look at other ones later."

Xu Lang was speechless and just grinned.

"Goodbye, bro, this is all!"

"Really? Although the dark wood is rare, it is not very suitable to bring it to a place like a treasure appraisal conference."

Seeing that Wang Dongyang was still weighing the statue of Xuannv, Xu Lang hurriedly took the statue from him.

"That's it, my big brother Wang, please don't drop him!"

"Seriously? Don't save your brother money!"

"Yeah!" Xu Lang nodded repeatedly.

"Then what's the secret behind this thing?" Wang Dongyang had seen Xu Lang's abilities. Since Xu Lang said so, then this statue of Xuannv must have something special.

Wang Dongyang was naturally very curious.

"Yes, there is a secret, but I can't tell you, brother. It's not good if you know too much!" Xu Lang put his index finger on his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't ask any questions. I'll give it to you!" Wang Dongyang was very generous.

Xu Lang thanked Wang Dongyang, exchanged some greetings and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Dongyang did stop Xu Lang.

"where is it?"

Xu Lang looked at Wang Dongyang in confusion as he rummaged around in the warehouse for a while and then took out a wooden box.

"Whoa!" He blew away the ashes on the wooden box and wiped it with his sleeve.

"I just remembered! This box is exactly the same size as the Xuannv statue! I'll give them to you together!"

Xu Lang looked at the box that Wang Dongyang handed over and felt moved.

This is made of small yellow rosewood and is very valuable.

"Okay!" Xu Lang didn't waste any time and took the box from Wang Dongyang. It really fit perfectly in the bag.

"Come on, come on, you young people are chatting with us old people. Come and see me when you have time!"

Wang Dongyang waved his hand to send him away, but Xu Lang did not feel offended, but rather felt very friendly.

Having accomplished his goal, Xu Lang went straight home.

"You're back. You found something good in just this morning?" Ye Lan also returned home at this moment.

Looking at the wooden box in Xu Lang's hand, one naturally understood that Xu Lang had found something good.

"Well, I met a pretty interesting guy, and he gave it to me!"

After Xu Lang said this, Ye Lan became even more curious.

The emerald dragon that Xu Lang was going to take to the conference was very valuable. Even if the thing in his hand now is not as valuable as the emerald dragon, it is probably not much different.

Such a thing was actually given to Xu Lang by someone he just met.

Ye Lan, who was already curious, became even more interested.

"What is it? Let me see it too!" Ye Lan said as he reached out to take it.

But Xu Lang dodged it.

"You'll know when we get back to the treasure appraisal conference. Now, there's no mystery at all!" Xu Lang said with a smile.

"Okay! Then let's keep it mysterious." After Ye Lan said that, he turned his head away and didn't look at Xu Lang.

It wasn't until Xu Lang returned to the house with a smile that Ye Lan realized that she was usually not so rude and casual.

Even if it's because I'm at home, I shouldn't be like this.

Her face suddenly turned red.

As for Xu Lang, he naturally didn't know this.

After he returned to the house, he took out the statue of Xuannv again and looked at it carefully.

Although Xu Lang said that he wanted to keep it mysterious, he still handed the box to Ye Lan the next day.

"What? Didn't you tell me not to let me see it?" Ye Lan naturally recognized the object. It was the one Xu Lang brought back yesterday.

"I have to attend the treasure appraisal conference anyway, so just pass it up for me!"

"Then can I take a look?"

"Of course." Xu Lang did not refuse. Ye Lan couldn't figure it out anyway.

After receiving a positive answer, Ye Lan couldn't wait to open the wooden box.

She had some skills in identification, but she could only tell that it was an exquisitely carved statue of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady made of sunken wood, and she could not tell anything else.

Ye Lan lifted up the statue of Xuannv in disbelief, looked at it from left to right, and even examined the base.

There is no inscription on the bottom and no name of the artist, so it is unlikely that it was carved by a famous artist.

"No wonder you handed it to me so easily." Ye Lan glared at Xu Lang.

"What's so special about this Xuannv statue? I can't see it."

After hearing this, Xu Lang just smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Ye Lan was anxious, and she rarely showed the attitude of a little girl.

"Just tell me!" As he said this, he couldn't help stamping his feet.

"Miss Ye also has times when she needs help?"

Xu Lang's words made Ye Lan's face flush.

She simply went for it. It was embarrassing in front of Xu Lang anyway. They were already so familiar with each other.

"Yeah! I just can't see it, why don't you tell me quickly"

Facing Ye Lan's coquettish behavior, Xu Lang turned a blind eye and remained silent.

"If you don't want to say it, then forget it!" Ye Lan stomped his feet, fortunately ignoring Xu Lang, and walked out the door holding the statue.

Looking at Ye Lan who suddenly became a little childish, Xu Lang couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 45: A Date with a Beautiful Lady

Ye Lan took Xu Lang's statue out of the door, but was not in a hurry to deliver the statue to the venue of the treasure appraisal conference.

Instead, he turned his head with a guilty conscience and looked at the villa behind him, waiting until he was sure that Xu Lang was not paying attention to him.

She quickened her pace, taking small steps and walking towards the depths of the park.

The security here is tighter than at the park entrance.

If Xu Lang came, he would be able to use his pupil technique to see that there is a secret sentry almost every ten steps.

Of course, Ye Lan had no obstacles.

She entered an ancient house, where several elderly people over sixty years old were busy with their work.

Anyone who knows a little about antiques can see that they are carrying out antique restoration work.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, come quickly! Help me take a look at this object."

Ye Lan started shouting as soon as he entered, without any of the indifference he showed in front of outsiders.

After all, these old men in front of him could almost be said to be Ye Lan's masters in the appraisal business.

If they were put in the outside world, they would all be extraordinary figures.

"What's wrong, girl Ye?"

Mr. Li was the first to put down the porcelain bottle in his hand.

"Help me look at this, what's so special about it?"

"Oh? Let me see what it is that can stump our little girl Ye."

Mr. Li picked up the statue and looked at it carefully.

The remaining few elderly people also came over.

Several people were discussing enthusiastically, and finally it was Mr. Li who spoke.

"Ye girl, why are you getting worse the more you learn? Isn't this just a statue made of dark wood? It's just that the material is better, but the carving is not outstanding. If you like it, ask Lao Wang to modify it for you. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"That's right! I'll change your name to Guanyin, and you should find a husband of your dreams as soon as possible."

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, all the old people laughed.

"Oh, I'm ignoring you guys, I'm leaving!"

A rare shy look appeared on Ye Lan's face.

She hurriedly picked up the statue and turned away.

Since none of these people could identify it, Ye Lan knew that it would be useless to ask others.

Anyway, there are only three days left in this treasure appraisal conference, and everything will be revealed then.

However, Ye Lan also became more curious about Xu Lang.

Mr. Li and the others couldn't figure out how Xu Lang knew that there was a secret behind this statue.

Talking two ends.

Not long after Ye Lan left, Xu Lang received an unexpected call.

The person who called was none other than Song Qingyun.

"What's wrong, Miss Song, do you understand the people's sentiments?" Xu Lang joked.

"Bah! If I had known, I wouldn't have asked you to take me home last time. You only know how to tease me!"

Song Qingyun on the other end of the phone spat inwardly, thinking that Xu Lang was still so talkative.

"Seriously, I'm going to treat you to a meal, would you like to come?" There was a hint of anticipation in Song Qingyun's voice.

During this period, after resuming contact with Xu Lang, the two have been chatting on the phone.

"Okay! You choose the place."

"It's just a food stall in front of the school. I can't afford to hire an expensive place."

What Song Qingyun was talking about was the place where Xu Lang had a gathering with Gou Zi, er, Xun Xin and a few others last time.

Xu Lang was somewhat surprised. The last time he sent Song Qingyun home, Xu Lang knew her family background. Such a rich girl was actually willing to eat in that kind of place.

"Okay!" But Xu Lang still did not refuse and agreed immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang packed up and drove there.

"Xiao Xu! There's a beautiful lady waiting for you in the upstairs box! She said she's your classmate."
