Crescent Hotel.

"Hello, Mr. Gao, this way please—"

As Gao Dongxu led Leng Feng and the other three into the newly renovated Crescent Hotel, they were greeted by Sheng Shengman, a woman with a smiling face, wearing a white dress, with long, slightly wavy hair, exuding a retro style and femininity.

Sheng Shengman extended her jade-like hand in invitation, her beautiful eyes glancing at the things Leng Feng and the other two were holding.

"Thank you." Gao Dongxu looked at Sheng Shengman's fair and delicate face, smiled, and walked towards the stairs.

In a traditional Chinese-style private room on the second floor, the air was filled with the refreshing scent of sandalwood. Yin Nanfeng, dressed in a black cheongsam, paired with bright red lips and pearl hair clips, exuded an intellectual and elegant femininity, showcasing oriental charm and the allure of traditional Chinese culture. Her ancient-style attire was indeed elegant and captivating.

Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "Mr. Yin, you are truly elegant and charming, a feast for the eyes—"

Yin Nanfeng smiled and closed her folding fan, then gracefully shook hands with Gao Dongxu with her fair, boneless hand, saying sweetly, "Mr. Gao, you flatter me. Please have a seat."

"Thank you." Gao Dongxu and Yin Nanfeng sat around the table. Sheng Shengman quickly served two cups of hot tea and then stood behind Yin Nanfeng.

Gao Dongxu didn't stand on ceremony with Yin Nanfeng. He raised his hand and, with his skillful hands, placed two scroll boxes and a room-shaped box on the table.

Yin Nanfeng looked at the three items on the table with sparkling eyes, and a bright smile appeared on her fair and delicate face.

"The Immortal Scroll and the Night-Shining White Painting—" Gao Dongxu pushed the two scroll boxes forward, smiled at Yin Nanfeng, and said, "I hope to take advantage of the auspicious opening of the New Moon Hotel to get a good price at the auction."

"Hehe, with these two rare treasures of yours as the grand finale, the first auction at the Crescent Moon Hotel will definitely be a great success," Yin Nanfeng said with a happy smile.

"You don't mind if I have it appraised, do you?"

Gao Dongxu smiled and said, "Of course, that's only right."

Yin Nanfeng smiled and turned to Sheng Shengman, saying, "Go and invite Elder Zhao—"

"Yes—" Sheng Shengman bowed slightly and answered softly, then walked out of the room.

At this moment, Yin Nanfeng turned his gaze to the remaining brocade box and asked Gao Dongxu curiously, "Mr. Gao, what is this remaining brocade box?"

Gao Dongxu smiled and reached out to open the brocade box, taking out the purple jade box.

Yin Nanfeng's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. Even someone like her, who was used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures, was a little surprised to see such a large amethyst hollowed out and made into such an exquisite box.

"What a beautiful purple jade box—"

Gao Dongxu did not stop, but opened the purple jade box and took out the gold-inlaid silk cloth, which he then spread out on the table.

"This is—" Yin Nanfeng's beautiful eyes brightened even more as she looked at the small characters on the yellow silk and softly read aloud: "The book of the Underworld King..."

The image of the Ghost Seal immediately flashed into Yin Nanfeng's mind. She recalled the story Gao Dongxu had told her about King Lu Shang. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Gao Dongxu in disbelief and exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Gao, is this King Lu Shang's proclamation to the earth?!"

Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded, saying, "The content here is basically the same as the legends and stories I told you."

"This..." Yin Nanfeng frowned slightly. She was certainly no stranger to the inner world. After all, from childhood to adulthood, there had always been an immortal old man who had lived for over a hundred years but still maintained the youthful appearance of someone in his twenties, constantly wandering around in front of her.

However, she certainly wouldn't show Gao Dongxu that she knew too much about the underworld.

"Could the legends be true? That's unbelievable."

Gao Dongxu didn't care about Yin Nanfeng's surprise. Instead, he smiled and looked at Yin Nanfeng's fair and delicate face with a beauty mark under her eye, saying, "I want to entrust the Crescent Moon Hotel to auction this purple jade box and the gold-inlaid silk!"

"Oh?!" Yin Nanfeng's beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at Gao Dongxu with some surprise. She quickly smiled and said, "No problem. May I ask how much Mr. Gao is willing to sell it for?"

"The starting price is fifty million," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Yin Nanfeng frowned slightly; the price wasn't low. He looked at Gao Dongxu and said softly, "Mr. Gao, this price is very likely to result in no sale..."

Gao Dongxu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be people vying to bid for it."

“Alright, since Mr. Gao is so confident, our New Moon Hotel will take on this commission.” Yin Nanfeng’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she readily agreed with a smile.

"Hehe, since Mr. Yin is so straightforward, I can't be stingy. I have another business opportunity here. I wonder if Mr. Yin would be interested?" Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Please speak—" Yin Nanfeng smiled, elegantly unfolding his folding fan and gently waving it.

“I know that the Crescent Moon Hotel strictly protects the information of its clients and would never sell such information to anyone…” Gao Dongxu said with a smile. “That’s right.” Yin Nanfeng frowned slightly, looking at Gao Dongxu with some confusion, and nodded seriously.

"Once the Purple Jade Box and the Lu Shang King's Proclamation to the Earth are put up for auction, someone will definitely come to you to inquire about my information as the client. I hope that you can sell my information to them at that time. Five million for each piece of information, and the New Moon Hotel can take one million. How about it?"

Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at Yin Nanfeng, who was initially stunned, but then looked at him with bright, playful eyes.

"Mr. Gao, I didn't expect you to even bother with such a small amount of money..." Yin Nanfeng's lips curled up, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light, as she teased him with a smile.

"Hehe, this is no small amount of money. Besides, even a small mosquito is still meat. If you know someone is willing to give you money and you don't take it, you'd be a fool," Gao Dongxu laughed.

"Hehe... Since you've put it that way, I'd be a fool to refuse. But one million won't do, two million will do. After all, selling out client information would damage the reputation of our Crescent Moon Hotel." Yin Nanfeng smiled at Gao Dongxu, playfully raising her eyebrows.

"Hehe, alright then, how about a pleasant cooperation?" Gao Dongxu didn't hold it against her. It was just a small gain before fishing for a big fish, so he figured he'd take what he could get.

Without the Crescent Hotel, he wouldn't have earned that money.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Yin Nanfeng smiled and once again extended her fair, boneless hand to shake hands with Gao Dongxu.

As the two smiled at each other, Sheng Shengman led the appraisal expert from the Crescent Moon Hotel in.

After the veteran expert excitedly appraised the two national treasures and confirmed their authenticity, Gao Dongxu and Yin Nanfeng signed a consignment agreement, handing over the three treasures to the New Moon Hotel.

After seeing Gao Dongxu off, Yin Nanfeng immediately took the purple jade box and knocked on Zhang Rishan's door.

Sitting in the car heading to Nanluoguxiang, Gao Dongxu smiled and muttered to himself.

"The bait has been laid; I wonder how many big fish it will attract..."

Meanwhile, inside the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, Director Luo, holding a microphone, abruptly stood up from his chair, his expression drastically changing. He said in a deep voice, "I will send someone to France immediately. If the rabbit head is genuine, it must be brought back no matter what—"

After hanging up the phone, an extremely excited Director Luo picked up the receiver again and called Fang Zhen.

"Come to my office immediately."

Soon, there was a knock on the office door. After Director Luo called out "Come in," Fang Zhen pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Director Luo's beaming face and excitement, he said, "Director Luo—"

"I just received a call from France. Professor Guan from the Yuanmingyuan research group, whose students in France are studying the twelve zodiac animal heads, met Shangguan Martin, the president of the International Non-profit Association for the Promotion of Precious Cultural Relics in Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron, Ceramic, Calligraphy and Painting. He has a rabbit head, which, after being examined by Professor Guan's students, was confirmed to be genuine. Shangguan Martin promised to hand the rabbit head over to the state."

However, when Count Mathieu of France sent men to seize the rabbit head, it was temporarily seized by the French police. If there are no objections within two weeks, the rabbit head will be returned to Professor Guan's students.

You immediately form a team, fly to France, protect Professor Guan's students, and investigate Shangguan Martin. Make sure the rabbit's head is safely brought back in two weeks.

Fang Zhen became more and more confused as he listened. What kind of nonsense was this? What was this "International Non-profit Promotion Association for Precious Cultural Relics such as Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, Ceramics, Calligraphy and Painting"? It sounded like a load of rubbish.

"Director Luo, this Shangguan Martin is definitely suspicious... If I remember correctly, the rabbit head and the rat head are in Earl Matthew's hands..."

Director Luo looked at Fang Zhen with a deep gaze and a calm expression, and said, "No one knows whether the rabbit head in Earl Matthew's hands is real or fake. Since Mr. Shangguan Martin has a real rabbit head and is willing to hand it over to the country, nothing else matters. What do you say?"

"Yes!" Fang Zhen immediately understood Director Luo's meaning, his eyes lit up, and he stood at attention and saluted.

"Once you're in France, keep a close eye on Rabbit Head. Absolutely no problems can be allowed," Director Luo instructed again.

"Yes."

"You have one hour to prepare..."

Fang Zhen, who strode out of Director Luo's office, immediately began to find people to form a group and prepare for the expedition to Paris.

In Nanluoguxiang, Gao Dongxu pushed open the door and walked into the newly renovated milk tea shop. He saw Huaxiazi, wearing a loose black sweater, with her hair in a bun, smoking, and her eyebrows furrowed, talking to the extremely ugly Sixth Brother Zhang Xuejun.

"When did you get back?" Upon hearing the sound, Huaxiazi's eyes lit up when she saw Gao Dongxu walk in. She smiled sweetly, immediately stood up, and quickly walked to Gao Dongxu, wrapping her charming arms around his neck.

Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded to his sixth brother, who was looking back at him, before lowering his head without hesitation to kiss Hua Xiazi's red lips, his kiss greedy and passionate.

Zhang Xuejun watched the two of them kissing so passionately that they treated him like a human being, his lips twitched a few times, and his eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Of course, this hatred is not resentment, but rather a rejection of Gao Dongxu, his rival in love. However, he also understands that compared to Gao Dongxu, he is nothing.
