Chapter 299: Chapter 217: Why Are There So Many People~~

Provincial City, Tianyi Square.

Inside the shop, a group of people scanned the entire place, initially feeling a bit disappointed for not seeing the real person, but their interest was quickly captured by the objects on display, after all, their wealth was evident, and they too had played with such high-end items before, they knew the value of what was here, and their curiosity was piqued...

Who says the children of the rich are all good-for-nothings! Those who had some association with Gong Jiu were more or less interested in this field. With money and leisure, they played the game at an even more professional level than some experts, and now, as they spread out and started to examine the items, expressions of shock and skepticism crossed their faces...

And at that moment.

A few elegantly dressed elders with excellent demeanors who were looking at flowers and birds happened to pass by and became interested when they heard the music. Upon entering and seeing a whole row of vivid and lifelike bamboo carvings, they were all stunned!

"Wow, these bamboo carvings... with form and spirit both to perfection, showcasing a masterful flat-blade technique!"

"This is the flat-blade style..."

"To think such bamboo carvings still exist..! I had thought this school of craftsmanship had been lost!"

Laymen watch for fun, experts watch the technique, and these men could see much more than those youngsters!

They discussed their admiration in voices that were neither too loud nor too soft, influencing the others subconsciously. The younger generation, initially thinking the pricing a bit expensive, rushed forward to ask questions. They too feared being taken for a ride, but it was clear these elders had some grounding - after all, this street in the Provincial City was famous for antiques, and many scholars and collectors could be seen wandering around...

These elders, who liked to show off their knowledge on any given day, didn’t put on airs. They were even more enthusiastic and professional than Lin Yun and others, quickly explaining how remarkable the technique was and how precious the items were... This left Lin Yun himself quite surprised; so it turned out the people from Mao Bamboo Mountain were a school unto themselves. It was a pity they had retreated into the mountains and their works hadn’t circulated, no wonder people thought the craft had been lost...

Of course, the young people of today weren’t so easily fooled, with some still half-doubtful or mostly convinced even after the elders’ explanation, and a few even made calls to inquire with their grandparents or other elders...

The rich young heirs, however, were quite trusting, crowding around for a closer look and making purchases decisively when they saw something they liked...

But Lin Yun didn’t have time to attend to them, because...

"Young lady, are you the boss here?" an elder had already walked up rapidly.

"No, Teacher, our boss hasn’t arrived yet..."

"I see... may I ask where these bamboo carvings come from?" At the elder’s question, the other old men chuckled, "Old chap, you can’t just ask that, it’s their commercial secret!"

"Right, right, right, I had forgotten..."

Lin Yun didn’t know these elders, but suddenly saw Qi Yanran, the quiet and graceful girl, gesturing desperately at him. He felt a flutter in his heart, and quickly said with a smile, "Esteemed teachers, you truly have sharp eyes. These bamboo carvings were personally sought by our young boss from the mountains. You can be assured of their origin, indeed it is the craftsmanship of that school... But if you have any questions, you will need to wait for the young boss to arrive. While you’re here, why not take a look at the other treasures? You know, the most valuable items in our shop aren’t these bamboo carvings..."

This aroused the elders’ curiosity, and they were led over by Lin Yun for a look...

In a short time, a commotion arose outside, very noisy, but no one was entering the shop, instead, those rich second generations were heading out.

Lin Yun was puzzled but couldn’t extract himself from the situation, while Qi Yanran had some time and went out to see what was happening.

The square at The Gate was spacious, but not far off, a long line of sports cars was conspicuously on display, and among these vehicles...

Gong Jiu sauntered out with long strides from the car, upon closing the door, she disdainfully rolled her eyes at a woman stepping out of the car next to her, draped in a tight, rose-colored cheongsam adorned with flowers and covered by a white fur coat, a seductive smile upon her face, like a Goblin from the woods singing softly, her figure so sexy it stopped all the men in their tracks. This woman could only be Flower Demon.

The two exchanged scornful looks before both turned their gazes toward the group in front.

Gong Jiu twirled her keychain in hand and narrowed her eyes.

The Yun Family has arrived!

Here to make trouble?

That’s not right; Yun Li is accompanied by several people.

An attractively unruly young man, a scholarly and gentle young man, and a delicate and stunning young woman...

Well, well, familiar faces!

Gong Jiu exchanged a look with Flower Demon, the former starting with her iconic flippant tone, "Wow, Third Master Yun, just recovered from a serious illness, and here you are, out and about so soon! If you hurt yourself, whatever will you do~~"
