The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Based on the assessment of Zhou Weikang, this man's understanding of the treasure was limited to its price; he didn't know how much ability his friend possessed.

However, to Fang Yun's slight surprise, the shop did indeed have some decent items.

For example, there are several wine vessels found only in Eastern Han Dynasty tombs, as well as a blue and white porcelain bottle from the Ming Dynasty, and a bronze piece with a mottled and somewhat old surface, but it is unknown whether it is genuine or not.

"Well, Master Fang, is there anything you like? I'll give it to you."

Upon arriving in Guangling City, Li Jiaying's entire demeanor changed, adopting the air of a hostess taking care of her guests.

She left Guangling not because she disliked city life and wanted a change of environment; on the contrary, she loved the vibrancy and dazzling lights of the metropolis. It was only because of her family's arranged marriage that she left.

This return is like a bird returning to its home, or a fish returning to the water; it brings a sense of exhilaration and comfort to both body and mind.

"Miss Li, you're too kind. I'm just looking around." Fang Yun had no intention of letting Li Jiaying spend any money.

We should stop here and stop here as a favor to the Li family; we can't accept more than that.

Fang Yun didn't want to have too much contact with Li Guozheng for the time being. He felt that Li Guozheng was a cunning old fox, and who knew what he was up to.

"Xiao Nan, is there anything you want? I'll get you something too."

Li Jiaying didn't insist and turned to look at Chen Xiaonan.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I won't hold back when the time comes," Chen Xiaonan chuckled.

Just as the group was talking, a laugh suddenly came from the inner room.

"What wind has blown Miss Li here? It's truly a rare treat for you to visit my humble shop today."

A young man dressed in blue clothes and holding a folding fan walked out from not far away.

This man was only in his early twenties, but his every move showed that he was very mature.

Fang Yun had previously thought that he was probably a spoiled brat like Zhou Weikang, but this was quite unexpected.

In that case, the store seems a little more reliable.

"Miss Li, please feel free to look around. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as it's not something too valuable like the store's prized possession, I'm willing to part with it and give it to you."

"Hmph! I don't need anything from you. I could easily buy your shabby little shop myself, why would I need you to send me anything?"

Li Jiaying was not polite at all.

The young man who came out was a close friend of Zhou Weikang and his group. His name was Liu Zhi. Compared to other rich kids, he had read more books and had a high level of education.

Therefore, this person always thought he was superior to others, which made Li Jiaying feel very uncomfortable, so she communicated with him very well.

"Hehe, Miss Li, if you're referring to my people, that's fine. But my shop isn't something you can just belittle so easily."

"I have a few things here that even if your Li family wanted to buy them, it probably wouldn't be easy for them."

Li Jiaying was about to speak when Zhou Weikang followed her out and said, "I can vouch for Brother Liu's accuracy. I heard those precious artifacts were recently unearthed, and Brother Liu is the only one who has them on the market."

"Oh? I wonder if I could take it out and have a look?"

Li Jiaying described how the other person seemed to be bragging.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi said, "That's certainly possible, but I'm worried that if Miss Li isn't very knowledgeable about these ancient jade artifacts, even if I take them out, I'm afraid you won't be able to judge their value..."

Although Liu Zhi was telling the truth and his tone was very tactful, it didn't sound the same to Li Jiaying.

"You, Liu Zhi, dare to mock me now?" Li Jiaying said, hands on her hips, looking defiant.

"I'm not interested in these things. So what if I don't know them? But I'm here to tell you that I've brought a friend who knows more than you do."

At this point, Li Jiaying turned her gaze to Fang Yun, who was taking a white jade porcelain bottle off the shelf to examine it. He was a little confused when he realized that everyone's eyes were on him.

"he?"

Liu Zhi glanced at Fang Yun, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"If I'm not mistaken, this gentleman and that lady haven't been in Guangling City for long. In our area, those who are involved in the antique business are all from large families with a long history."

"With their abilities, they're probably still a long way from mastering the basics."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaonan couldn't help but speak up.

Chapter 384 Identification

"What did you say? You look down on me, don't you!"

If it were just Chen Xiaonan, she wouldn't be this angry, since she knows her own abilities.

But she was very unhappy about saying that about Fang Yun.

Fang Yunke is a master-level figure whom they have all witnessed and recognized. How could they bear to be slandered in front of them like this?

"What, young lady, do you have a problem with this? If you disagree with my assessment, you are welcome to come up and try. If you can recognize any of the random items in my shop, I will apologize for what I just said."

A playful smile appeared on Liu Zhi's face.

"you!"

Chen Xiaonan found it difficult to speak after he said that. She had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't found many things that she could name.

So she had no choice but to turn her gaze to Fang Yun, but Fang Yun was still looking at what he was holding, as if he hadn't paid any attention to the conversation at all.

"I think that Brother Fang is very smart. He just pretends not to hear anything when he's not sure about something."

Zhou Weikang covered his mouth and chuckled a few times.

"But he didn't realize that the more he did this, the more he was putting pressure on his colleagues. Such a person ultimately lacks a sense of responsibility."

Liu Zhi shook his head.

Chen Xiaonan was about to retort when Fang Yun suddenly pointed to the white jade porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "This is fake. Although the craftsmanship is very realistic, it's best not to display it here. Otherwise, people will say that your store's quality is not high."

After saying this, Fang Yun put the porcelain bottle back in its original place.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Liu Zhi sneered, "If you don't understand, don't speak. If you were pointing to something else, I might hesitate a bit, but I personally saw someone take that porcelain vase out of the ground."

“That’s right, you might not know, but my brother Liu always handles these antiques personally. Your tricks won’t work on him.”

The two men looked at Fang Yun with a mixture of contempt and disdain, as if they found Fang Yun's behavior utterly despicable.

"If you don't believe me, fine, but unless you tell me you went to the cemetery yourself to get this out, then I might doubt my judgment. But you said you were waiting outside to be delivered to it, there's a lot of shady stuff going on here."

Before the two could retort, Fang Yun casually pointed to the shop and said, "Actually, I just took a look around. I did glance at most of the items. Although there are many genuine ones, there are also quite a few fakes."

"I can tell you do seem to be someone who loves antiques, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to say so much."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he fell silent.

Li Jiaying's expression suddenly turned sarcastic. It seemed that what Fang Yun said was true; there were indeed many counterfeit goods in the store.

"Nonsense! I don't recall you being in this store for very long, have you? Even if I let you look at each item one by one, it probably wouldn't be this fast."

"This clearly shows how utterly despicable you are, spouting nonsense like this." Liu Zhi was furious.

Although he knew that there must be some counterfeit items in his shop that he hadn't identified, it wasn't something someone like Fang Yun could easily criticize.

Zhou Weikang threatened, "Let me tell you, kid Fang, this isn't some small place like you, where you can act all high and mighty just because you have a little skill."

“You can’t just slander my brother Liu’s shop like that. If you dare to say another word, I’ll show you what happens when you talk nonsense.”

Li Jiaying couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What? You're afraid of what people will say about your shop? Why do you even bother opening an antique shop? You might as well go sell vegetables at the market. I guarantee no one will point at your vegetables and say they're fake."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi did not retort, but instead wore a slight smile.

“I like to speak with evidence. Since Miss Li also believes in Mr. Fang, then we can have Mr. Fang prove it to us. If Mr. Fang can indeed prove that he is right, then I think we should apologize to him.”

Liu Zhi spoke with absolute certainty, as if he were certain that Fang Yun would not dare to accept the challenge.

Chen Xiaonan then walked up to Fang Yun and said, "Brother Fang, why don't you show them what you've got? These two are making me uncomfortable."

Fang Yun thought about it and realized that he would probably have a lot of contact with people in the antiques industry in Guangling City in the future, so he could take this opportunity to make a preliminary breakthrough.

"Alright, then tell me how you're going to prove it," Fang Yun said calmly.

"I'm not that kind of boring person. It's very simple. I'll randomly select three items. If you can identify all three items and explain their meaning, I'll admit defeat."

Liu Zhidao.

After Fang Yun nodded, the competition officially began.

Liu Zhi didn't seem to be taking it seriously at all; in fact, he felt that it would be an insult to him to actually take it so seriously.

"This kid, I'll show you his true colors in a bit."

Liu Zhixin said, "Factory."

Chapter 385 Distinguishing Real from Fake

"This thing, can you check if it's real or fake for me first?"

At this point, Liu Zhi casually picked up something that looked like a wine pot and pointed at it.

Fang Yun didn't go over to take a look, but only glanced at it from a distance and said, "Just by looking at the patterns, you can tell it's fake. This shape is from the Han Dynasty, but the glaze on the outside is from the Qin Dynasty. This thing is a bit too time-traveling, isn't it?"

Liu Zhi was also somewhat surprised when he heard Fang Yun say this.

He hadn't paid much attention to these kinds of small, not particularly valuable items before, and had mostly left the collection to his subordinates.
