Chapter 622: Why are you holding a chamber pot?_1

~5 min read 953 words

Mr. Jin had never dreamed of it.

The authentic piece he wanted was a fake, and the broken wooden box he discarded like a worn-out shoe was actually hiding the genuine article!

"Teacher, what exactly is going on..."

George looked at Yin Tian with a bewildered face, completely dizzy from the series of twists and turns.

"True and false, false and true, are just old tricks commonly used by the ancients."

Yin Tian said with a light smile, "Whether it’s the fan surface on top or the beauty painting underneath being imitated and covered, it’s all to divert attention away from this wooden box."

"If I’m not mistaken, this fan and that wooden box must be a family heirloom from a certain household, passed down generation to generation until even the family itself no longer knew the mystery within."

The shop owner on the side nodded repeatedly upon hearing Yin Tian’s words, "That’s right, that’s right, I bought this from someone outside the Imperial Capital, and it only cost me three million."

"A three-million item, and you sell it to me for thirty million!!"

Mr. Jin angrily looked at the shop owner.

"In business, it’s all about one person willing to strike and the other willing to endure, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you’re not the one who thought you could see through the fan’s true value and felt it was lucrative, so you were willing to spend thirty million to buy this fan?"

Yin Tian retorted.

With that statement, Mr. Jin was left speechless.

"Hmph!"

Mr. Jin gave Yin Tian a cold look, "We’ll just wait and see!"

With that, Mr. Jin stalked away, no longer able to face staying there.

"Here, I got a painting without spending a penny."

Yin Tian casually handed the Authentic Work of Tang Yin to Murong Liuli beside him.

Murong Liuli smiled and received the piece of silk from Yin Tian’s hands.

Yue Tao was also grinning from ear to ear.

He had thought that the item worth hundreds of millions had gone to Mr. Jin for a bargain, which made his heart bleed.

But, if that item worth hundreds of millions had ended up in the hands of Yin Tian, he was delighted beyond measure.

"Mr. Yin, what do you plan to do next?"

Yue Tao asked Yin Tian softly, "I come here often, so if you want anything, I can take you there."

George on the side was clearly annoyed.

He was the one who had brought Yin Tian here, so why was someone trying to snatch Yin Tian away from him?

"We just came for a casual look around."

Yin Tian said indifferently.

Yue Tao quickly plastered a smile on his face, "Just to look around, huh? Sure, I don’t have much to do anyway, so I’ll just accompany you for a stroll."

The group walked out of the shop and headed outside.

The street was long; one could not even see the end at a glance. The vendors and shops on either side were even more numerous than the passersby.

As Yin Tian and his party walked, Yue Tao kept telling Yin Tian about the place.

After a while, when they passed a stall, an item immediately caught Yin Tian’s eye.

He crouched in front of the stall and pointed at an object, "How much for this?"

"Three hundred thousand,"

the stall owner said to Yin Tian, grinning broadly.

Yin Tian nodded and was about to speak when suddenly a hand reached out from the side, grabbed the item Yin Tian had been pointing at, and swiftly threw a cheque onto the stall. "I’ll take this item."

Murong Liuli and the others all turned their heads to look, only to see that the person who had snatched the item Yin Tian was interested in was Mr. Jin!

The more Mr. Jin thought about it after leaving the shop, the angrier he became.

Then, he realized something else.

With Yin Tian’s sharp eye, if he followed behind Yin Tian and snatched anything Yin Tian took interest in, not only could he pick up bargains, but he could also get revenge for the earlier humiliation.

After that, he followed Yin Tian and his group closely until Yin Tian took interest in the stall’s items. That’s when he quickly moved in, beating Yin Tian to the purchase.

"You... have you no shame!"

Murong Liuli was genuinely enraged.

She had never seen such a shameless person brazenly snatching away the item that Yin Tian had picked out.

"What’s wrong with me? I’m buying things fair and square, what’s it to you?"

Mr. Jin clutched the item tightly in his arms, speaking smugly, "If you’re too slow with your own money, taking your sweet time, can you blame me?"

While he was still speaking, he suddenly smelled a strange odor.

He looked down at an object resembling a wine jug in his arms and leaned in to sniff the larger opening tentatively.

The next moment, a scent indescribable in words swept through his nostrils and even brought tears to his eyes.

*cough cough cough...*

Mr. Jin struggled to bear the physical discomfort, looking provocatively at Yin Tian, "To get good stuff, you have to act fast or else someone else might snatch it."

Following that, he noticed Yin Tian looking at him with an odd expression, as if thinking about something.

"Do you need something else? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mr. Jin gripped the wine jug in his arms even tighter, "I won’t let you have this item."

Yin Tian nodded, "Even if you were to offer it, I couldn’t accept it."

"I’m just curious, what are you doing with a chamber pot?"
