Thinking about how he had humiliated Lin Xi, and also made Ye Xinghao suspect him, and offended two people that could control his own fate, although Liu Mang was still standing, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, as if he was standing on a sea of flames.

"Liu Mang, since it's so hot, why don't you go out and wait?

Words of concern made Liu Mang's body tremble, his heart felt as though it had fallen into an abyss, and his hands and feet felt as cold as ice.

But since Ye Xinghao had already spoken, he didn't dare go against his words, and slowly backed out as a sign of atonement. However, fear still followed him like his shadow, deeply tormenting him, until the judgement that would decide his fate arrived.

After Liu Mang withdrew from the quiet room, Ang Youyong took out a small jar of tea and placed it beside him like a treasure. It seemed to be showing off to him but also seemed to be fawning on him, attracting his ridicule and scolding, and even said that he wanted to find Chen Hee's father for a reason.

Not long later, two waiters walked in carrying a set of purple sand tea set, but today's teacup had been exchanged for a glass, it seemed like Ang Youyong had truly placed Qin Yu's words in appreciation.

At that time, Qin Yu suddenly laughed heartily, and said to Zhang Zhiyan: "Little girl Zhiyan, I will have to trouble you again this time, quickly, let's go. Uncle Yu can't wait any longer."

Zhang Zhiyan laughed as she stood up, leisurely walked over to the tea set and sat down on her knees, then began to cook the tea. With her fluid and natural skills, it was truly pleasing to the eye, and coupled with her elegant makeup, it was even more peerless in the world.

Just at this time, Ang Youyong winked at Qin Yu and said, "Hehe, Brother Yu, let's change the cups we used for tea into glass today, isn't it not wrong this time?"

Hearing Ang Youyong's performance, Qin Yu glanced at him and scolded: "Looks like I didn't teach you in vain, then I won't change the contract, whatever you say in the past will happen."

Ang Youyong immediately beamed with joy: "Alright, with Brother Yu's words, we can relax …"

Making tea was originally a slow process of memorizing the details, but what tormented people the most was the long wait. However, under Zhang Zhiyan's fluid and painstaking technique, time passed in an unusual way, even the burning sandalwood fragrance in the quiet room started to slowly extinguish.

During this entire process, the needle dropping quietly could be heard, and the only thing that could be heard was the jingling sound of Zhang Zhiyan's tea being brewed, and the zither master's touch on the zither being played inside the Jingyi House. Everyone was quietly admiring Zhang Zhiyan's memories, as though they were drunk, afraid that their words would desecrate the beautiful art.

Moreover, he did not know what kind of sandalwood Ang Youyong had lit. Even though it had already been extinguished, leaving only a lingering aroma, when it encountered the tea fragrance, it made one feel refreshed, as if their heart had calmed down.

The first cup was given to the elders, namely Zhang Senxu and Chen Hee. After that came Qin Yu, Mu Hongping, Lin Xi, and the last cup was given to Ye Xinghao.

However, Ye Xinghao seemed to not know how to drink tea, as he received the teacup and gulped it down in one gulp, then smacked his lips. Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiyan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with what she had said, but she did not say anything.

Other than Ye Xinghao, the rest of the people divided the wine into three portions and drank it up. After that, they closed their eyes to savor the taste, but Qin Yu still acted the same.

It was after all, just drinking wine. Zhang Zhiyan was already used to it.

Chen Hee woke up from his state of consciousness, returned the teacup to Zhang Zhiyan, and praised him while laughing: "Lin Xi, I didn't know that you're actually someone who understands tea. I didn't believe it when Qin Si said it to me yesterday, I thought that he was bragging, but now I believe it, it's true!"

Chen Hee's words overwhelmed Lin Xi as he replied humbly and politely, "This junior is only spouting nonsense. Compared to you, Elder Chen, you are still a fledgling brat, and you still need to learn to be rich."

Chen Hee praised again: "Not bad, not bad, not too arrogant or impetuous, your pets are unfazed, you know how to be weak, humble, and vain. It's rare to see a young person like you nowadays."

Once again, the tea that Zhang Zhiyan had passed to him came to him. Lin Xi was not in a hurry to taste it, he only heard Zhang Senxu say: "I have already drank the tea that I should be drinking, shouldn't I get into the main topic, and take out all the items I have brought?"

"It's time to start, it's time to start. However, I'll say it in advance, we have to make a comeback for today's show. If anyone laughs, we'll have to treat them to a meal in the end. Two elders, what do you think?"

As a result, Chen Hee could not help but laugh: "Brat Qin, your merchant nature is indeed a master who does not suffer a loss. The prize money is naturally easy to say, but since it's just a slap on the face, then it must be real or fake.

As if he had already expected that Chen Hee would ask such a question, Qin Yu replied without thinking: "It's easy to win or lose, Little Girl Zhiyan and this brat Ang Youyong are all unconventional people, let's just forget about them, the rest of us will break one, let's see who's the most unreasonable one. You two old men are also seniors, this shouldn't be a problem right?"

Chen Hee pondered for a moment, then laughed with a loud and clear voice: "Alright, this method is not bad, it's fair and square. What do you think, Old Zhang?"

"No problem." Zhang Senxu's low and deep voice sounded out, but for some reason, Lin Xi had the feeling that after seeing Zhang Zhiyan, she was deliberately hiding something, as if she was unwilling to stay here any longer.

Actually, the reason Qin Yu used this method was for another reason. It was to probe out the depth of Lin Xi's abilities.

Whether it was the information that Lin Xi had said or the information that he had gathered from Ang Youyong, they all indicated that Lin Xi had never stepped foot into the antique shop before. However, from Lin Xi's performance that day, he was definitely not a person who knew nothing about antiques.

So Qin Yu guessed that Lin Xi was deliberately hiding his strength, and wanted to test if he really knew the truth. If he really knew, then they had to be friends even more.

From time to time, everyone would display the items that they brought with them. If you counted roughly, there were actually more than 10 of them, and that was not counting the fan that Lin Xi hid away.

Lin Xi was finally able to see the contents of the black locket that the two Black Cloaked Bodyguard s were carrying behind Qin Yu. It turned out that the contents were all objects, but he was actually thinking about whether the contents were cash or not.
