Chapter 66: There's A Ghost in the Mirror

Everyone gasped as soon as he was done speaking. They thought they misheard.

One must know that the Precious Treasure Pavilion was Third Master Gu's business. Anything that Third Master Gu valued was in the store and each of them cost at least a million yuan each.

Nobody without at least 100 million yuan dared to come in. The threshold was terrifyingly high.

However, did Ye Chen just call them a bunch of trash?

Uncle Xu's expression stiffened instantly. "Young man, you'll have to be responsible for what you said. What do you mean when you called the stuff in my store a bunch of trash?"

At the moment, the air vibrated with tension.

Many of them were startled as they secretly thought to themselves that the Old Master Xu seemed to have gone mad.

Old Master Xu was not one to be offended. Not only did he have Third Master Gu supporting him, but he was also not an ordinary man himself. Otherwise, he would not have managed such a massive Precious Treasure Pavilion so well.

Gu Yingying's high brows were arched. She had no idea how to ease the situation now. At the same time, she blamed Ye Chen for crossing the line.

Ye Chen did not appear to have noticed all these whereby he remained aloof as he said, "What I said was the truth."

Old Master Xu was so mad that he was smiling. A fist-sized box appeared in his hand. "This is a tomb raider pendant, and it's the first edition," he said after opening it and pointing at its contents.

"Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao assigned 18 tomb raiders to loot tombs in order to gather military funds before crusading Dongwu. Each of them was given a tomb raider pendant.

"The tomb raider pendant in my hand is one of the 18. Third Master Gu spent a hefty sum to purchase it from a family in Xuchang."

As soon as he was done speaking, a withered man dressed as an old professor exclaimed, "Old Master Xu, a-are you sure that this is the legendary tomb raider pendant? If that's true, then it's a historical relic from the Three Kingdoms. It has a high archeological value."

"Since Old Master Xu said so, it has to be true. Don't forget that it was Third Master Gu who purchased this tomb raider pendant. Do you think Third Master Gu would even lay his eyes on anything ordinary?"

"Old Master Xu, I wonder if you'll let go of this tomb raider pendant. I'm willing to pay five million!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. They were excited as they had their eyes fixated on the tomb raider pendant in Old Master Xu's hand.

Old Master Xu ignored them. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen instinctively. He was trying to see if there were any changes in expression on his face. However, Ye Chen remained unchanged.

He could not help but became a little furious. He then walked to a wooden shelf and pointed at the white rock that was the size of an egg on the fifth row. "This is a foreign monk's relic that was retrieved after he was found dead in a seated position.

"The monk did not eat or drink the month before he died. He ordered his disciples to seal him in the altar and worship him at the temple. He was showered in the sound of sutra day and night.

"A century passed by. Due to the war breaking out, a military team accidentally trampled the altar when they plundered the temple. They found out that the monk was sitting at the altar. His cheeks were rosy as if he had just died.
