Hearing Lin Xi's praise, Ye Xinghao was immediately overjoyed, he almost wrote the word "smug" on his face. The current him felt like he was a serf turning his body and singing, finally making this disgusted brat lower his head, it wasn't easy at all.
On one hand, Ye Xinghao was enjoying Lin Xi's praise, but on the other hand, he pretended to be reserved and humble: "I can't really say that I have studied and learnt much, but antiques and jewels are not separated at all. Furthermore, I myself am very interested in them and have read some related books, so I have some knowledge and knowledge about appraising antiques, but in the eyes of Grandfather Chen and Grandfather Zhang, I am still far from being able to compare."
Lin Xi praised again: "Oh? Mr Ye is indeed a young genius, and very humble at that. He only said that he had some knowledge about antiques … "
Regarding Lin Xi's praise, Ye Xinghao did not reject any of it and instead accepted it all. He had even already thought about how he would be polite and show his gentility after Lin Xi's praise, but after Lin Xi praised him, Lin Xi suddenly stopped, changed from his praise before and asked coldly: "Does Mr Ye know, that even the Old Master Chen and the President Zhang here do not dare say that they have a slight understanding of the entire Ancient Arts, and only say that they understand one thing, and that you only know a little about the rest of it?
"You …"
Lin Xi ruthlessly cut off Ye Xinghao's words that he wanted to say. Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to give chase, he pointed to the cricket gourd in his hand and continued: "Moreover, from what I see, this object seems to be real and the era should be something from the Qing Dynasty. But you don't have to worry about it, Mr. Chen Hee will determine who is at fault and who is at that time, and it will be clear who is at that time."
"I …"
Ye Xinghao's face immediately became gloomy, and he wished that he could cut Lin Xi into a thousand pieces. However, his priority right now was not Lin Xi, but instead, he secretly glanced at Chen Hee and Zhang Senxu, and as expected, his heart sank when he saw their ugly expressions, and immediately knew that Lin Xi's words were not empty, but just as he was about to speak up to defend himself, he was pushed back yet again by Lin Xi, "Old Master Chen, the brat did not come back to make a fool of himself.
Being suppressed by Lin Xi time and time again, the grievances in Ye Xinghao's heart could be imagined. It was as if there was a breath of air pressed down on his chest, making him unable to stop, which made him live like a year, and at that time, Lin Xi had already sat back down. The things he said had already become the conclusion, and even if Ye Xinghao wanted to defend himself, he would not be worried at all, and the only thing he could do was to remain silent.
This dumb loss, Ye Xinghao admitted that he was unlucky and took it!
But Ye Xinghao was not a kind person either, he was still waiting, waiting for the moment to strike Lin Xi with his life, and that moment would arrive soon!
Everyone present were smart people, and were able to hear the anger in Lin Xi's words. It was obvious that they were angry at Ye Xinghao's overbearing attitude, and responsible that they would not be angry to the point of saying the truth and going back to normal. This was obviously a form of silent retaliation.
Especially in Qin Yu's opinion, this gathering was something that he had earned for himself, and Ye Xinghao staying was also part of his plan. But now that something like this had happened, he had to give Lin Xi an explanation, especially since Lin Xi's last sentence had already been mentioned, it was to ask for an explanation.
However, Qin Yu could not give an explanation nor an explanation, so all he could do was remain silent. However, in his heart, he could not help but feel guilty towards Lin Xi, thinking that when he returned to Yunjian, he must go and find an explanation there. He wanted to ask the juniors taught by them if they understand the rules, and how they dare to act so disregarding and disrespectful when they are in Qin Yu's territory.
Of course, the reason why Qin Yu had such a thought was also because he valued Lin Xi, and if it was any other person who came to Qin Yu's place, such a thought would definitely not exist. However, it was also because of Qin Yu's personality, which of course, once he made friends with someone, he would be able to remain safe and sound in Shang Hai for many years, and even grow bigger and bigger!
However, what everyone didn't know was that Lin Xi wasn't trying to show off his temper and modesty to Ye Xinghao, but was instead, unable to see through the inheritance of the cricket. He was able to determine the truth of the matter based on the amount of cyan colored light, and could even roughly tell the age, making him already considered smart and vigilant.
As for the remaining object, it was a piece of embroidered piece, a thin layer, on it were embroidered all sorts of sudden changes, but Lin Xi did not know anything about the patterns, not to mention the embroidered name and inheritance, furthermore, Lin Xi had already used the Sky Eye Technique on that piece of embroidered piece, it did not have a shred of green light at all, which meant that it was a fake, and was not even worth looking at.
Lin Xi had already seen two items in a row, and the edge had already been revealed, he knew that he could not continue talking, otherwise, it would attract people's suspicion, and if someone were to find out about his superpower, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Then again, it was just as Qin Yu had thought, Lin Xi had long familiarized himself with the principle of "the wood will be destroyed by the wind", and knew that doing things will leave a trace of history, he could not take the spotlight, regardless of others, it was extremely appropriate.
Suddenly, a loud and clear laughter rang out from within the quiet quiet room. It was actually a smile that Chen Hee gave when he saw him sitting down.
One had to know that there were not many young people like Lin Xi who understood things clearly and knew when to advance and when to retreat, and what Lin Xi had said was not fake either. That cricket gourd was even an authentic item, and its era was indeed the Qing Dynasty.
And the reason why Chen Hee looked at Lin Xi with such a kind gaze, was because he had seen through Lin Xi's worldly wisdom, and was even more knowledgeable than Qin Yu. If Lin Xi had only relied on luck to get the snuff bottle right in the beginning, but now, he had undoubtedly proven Lin Xi's true skills, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to tell the origin of the cricket with a single sentence.
Although Chen Hee knew that Lin Xi's dissatisfaction towards Ye Xinghao was real, he could still see that he was just finding a reason to retreat, so as to not arrogantly cause others to be jealous.
However, if Chen Hee knew that Lin Xi had a pair of Heaven's Eyes, which allowed him to differentiate between the real and fake objects, it was unknown how he would feel at that time, and after Lin Xi sat down, he immediately lowered his head and muttered to himself. He did not know how he was thinking about mysteriously, about everything that had happened in the quiet room, and he was completely indifferent to it.
