Chapter 86: Truly F**king Amazing

  Yu Xiao and others did not leave the club immediately, but instead carried boxes around in an empty corridor for a few laps before entering another room.

  This room is much smaller than the previous one, but it can accommodate the four of them with ease.

  "Finally settled, for this I've been hanging in mid-air all along, not a single moment of stability." Yu Xiao put the box on the ground and sat down on the sofa, with a hint of relief on her face.

  Qin Sheng glanced at Yu Xiao, didn't say a word, turned around and took out juice from the small refrigerator, poured a cup and handed it to Gu Cang: "Thirsty, right? Have some juice."

  "Thank you." After Gu Mei took over the juice, she suddenly realized that her mouth was very dry.

  "It's me who should thank you." Qin Sheng smiled at Gu Mian and then poured ice water for Yu Xiao and another person.

  Yu Xiao glanced at Gu Mian, then turned to Qin Sheng and said: "I've already made arrangements, someone else will come over later to re-examine it. Why don't we go celebrate first?"

  "No rush, let's wait for the person you've arranged to come and take a look first." Qin Sheng said, glancing at the time and shaking his head.

  "Alright, you've said that. Let's just leave it at that for now." Yu Xiao nodded and turned to look at the cloth bag beside Gu Mian, asking him, "Are those all fake goods inside?"

  "Yes, they're all fake inside." Gu Ming nodded and continued: "The other party's appraiser probably also figured it out, so in the end, neither of us chose much, and we just randomly divided these things into two portions. After all, you agreed to split them 50/50, I couldn't just ignore them because I thought they were fake."

  "You're so casual about parting ways. Aren't you afraid of being blinded by your own biases?" Yu Xiao had resolved one matter and her mood had improved significantly, now she also had the leisure to chat with Gu Mian.

  "Not afraid, others may not see it, but I know myself. [Super good] Gu Mian got a lot of good things today, and her mood is also exceptionally good. When she talks, she unconsciously exudes strong self-confidence from the bottom of her heart."

  Yu Xiao smiled and held out her hand to Gu Ming: "You're really confident, I'm Yu Xiao."

  "Gu Mian." Gu Mian also stretched out his hand and smiled slightly at Yu Xiao. He lightly shook hands with the other person.

  "Gu Ming?" Yu Xiao felt like she had heard this name somewhere before.

  "When I was appraising the cultural relics in Taiyuan, I went with Professor Wang." Gu Mian glanced at Yu Xiao's expression and guessed what he was thinking, and explained kindly.

  "Oh, it's you!" Yu Xiao slapped her own leg. Suddenly enlightened, she said: "I heard earlier that there was a student beside Professor Wang who had an accuracy rate of 100% in the first round of screening. At that time, I was still wondering if the current appraisers were even more formidable."

  "It's too kind of you." Gu Mian smiled and said.

  "No wonder you know Qin Sheng. Professor Wang and Mr. Qiao have a very good relationship." Yu Xiao smiled slyly, her eyes teasing as she looked at Qin Sheng.

  Qin Sheng didn't seem to notice Yu Xiao's teasing at all, his face still calm and collected.

  Yu Xiao was disappointed and couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, she said to Gu Mei: "Miss Gu, if you're willing, you can choose the things you like right now."

  "Now you're letting me pick whatever I want? Aren't you afraid I'll choose the best ones?" Gu Mian said with a half-joking tone.

  "What's there to be afraid of? Since I said let you choose freely before, I won't mind so much. After all, these things were all chosen by Miss Gu, if it weren't for you, who knows how many I would have gotten. However, you can also wait until the person I arranged comes to check and then choose, it's up to you." Yu Xiao walked freely to the front of the box, opened it, and gestured for Gu Mei to come forward and choose at will.

  "That's it then." Gu Mei didn't hesitate, directly walked forward, picked out the jade sheep she had already set her eyes on from the box, and said to Yu Xiao: "This one is fine."

  "Alright!" Yu Xiao nodded slightly.

  Qin Sheng heard that Gu Mei had picked out some things and couldn't help but look over at her.

  Gu Xiang held the jade sheep, feeling the warmth transmitted from her left hand, and the ups and downs of the bleating sound. She thought to herself, the happier she was, the more excited she became.

  When she was selecting things before, she only paid attention to whether they were genuine or not. She didn't carefully observe what they looked like. Now that she has taken a closer look, the jade sheep she chose should be a product of the transition from Qin to Han dynasties. From its shape, it has both the characteristics of Qin dynasty jade sheep and the style of Han dynasty jade sheep.

  The modeling of jade sheep has appeared since the Shang Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the modeling of round-carved jade sheep is usually very accurate, and most are static lying shapes, with a stout body, full back, short neck, mouth like a convex anvil, and delicate carvings of sheep horns, large and exaggerated, generally curved downward in a spiral shape, and there are often fine lines on the sheep's body as decorations.

  The jade sheep in her hand obviously has many characteristics of the Han Dynasty jade sheep. Putting aside its scorching heat, the whole jade sheep feels very warm and smooth to the touch, with a rich oiliness, giving one an unwillingness to put it down once held in the hand.

  Gu Mei wasn't someone who didn't understand the situation either. Although she could somewhat judge which of the things she had chosen were valuable, and Yu Xiao also said that she could choose whatever she wanted from the box, but she couldn't just choose randomly because someone told her to do so.

  This jade sheep belongs to the Qin and Han dynasties, its value is certainly not low, but compared to some things in the box, it's still a bit inferior. The best things are left to the owner of the thing, so as not to make people think she's arrogant.

  Qin Sheng also saw clearly the jade sheep in Gu Mei's hand, although he was not a professional appraiser, but it was not difficult to see that this jade sheep was of high quality.

  Four people waited in the room for a short time before Yu Xiao's arranged person arrived.

  Gu Mei carefully looked around and found that she could almost call out the names of everyone present, all of whom were top-notch experts in their field. Among them was a tall and thin man whose lecture she had once attended.

  Yu Xiao might also be in a hurry, so he didn't introduce himself and directly let the person inspect the items in the box.

  Gu Mei saw that the determined person had no dissatisfaction with Yu Xiao's anxious attitude, which made her even more certain that Yu Xiao's background was not simple. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Qin Sheng really was.

  It's not hard to guess that Qin Sheng and Yu Xiao have a very good relationship from the way they interact with each other.

  The people who came to identify the items in the box one by one were all famous and genuine masters, so their identification movements were not slow.

  Gu Xiang rarely saw a master-level figure personally appraising things, and naturally couldn't let go of this learning opportunity, so she stood honestly on the side to learn from him in secret.

  She saw the master she had gone to listen to lectures before taking out a jade eagle ornament, and her eyes lit up. If her judgment was not wrong, among the things identified today, this jade eagle ornament is the most precious.

  At that time her hand touched the jade eagle ornament, the scorching heat almost made her unable to hold on, as if her palm had come into direct contact with an open flame.

  This piece of jade eagle ornament is in light greenish-yellow color, with brown spots locally, presenting a flaky shape, the edges are slightly thinner, and the patterns carved on both sides are the same. The workmanship is extremely exquisite and grand, and it has an inexplicable aura.

  The carving technique of the Jade Eagle is openwork, with an eagle spreading its wings in the upper half, its head turned sideways, and its two claws hanging down to grab a human head. Some decorative patterns on the eagle's body are composed of raised lines, which are similar to the jade craftsmanship of the Xinle culture during the Neolithic period.

  From various characteristics, this jade eagle ornament seems to be made in the Neolithic period, and its long history makes people can't help but exclaim.

  Moreover, the pattern on this jade eagle is relatively complex. The decoration between the tip of the eagle's wing and the human head is not very clear to Gu Xianglian. She speculates that this jade eagle ornament may be a tribal totem from ancient times, with the eagle being the emblem of the tribe, and the eagle's claws grasping what appears to be the severed head of a defeated enemy.

  It's not just Gu Miao who thinks so, the person who appraised this jade eagle accessory obviously thought so too, so when he was appraising this jade eagle accessory, his movements were extremely careful and meticulous.

  "How is it?" Yu Xiao asked hastily as she saw that almost everything in the box had been identified.

  "Everything in this box is a rare genuine article." One of the appraisers exclaimed.

  "Is it all true?" Yu Xiao's eyes widened in surprise.

  The other party nodded and affirmed: "All three of us can confirm that everything in here is true."

  Yu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then picked up the cloth bag placed aside and asked the three appraisal masters to take a look at these things.

  The appraisers didn't ask many questions, and directly took out the items for appraisal. The result was just as Gu Yin had said - although the items inside were forged extremely well, they were undoubtedly counterfeit goods.

  Yu Xiao was shocked and stared straight at Gu Mian.

  Qin Sheng saw that Yu Xiao's gaze was too revealing and lightly coughed to remind him.

  Yu Xiao finally came to her senses, realizing that her expression was too much. She quickly composed herself and sincerely thanked the appraisal masters before inviting them out for some entertainment.

  After those masters left the room, Yu Xiao finally looked at Gu Mian and moved his lips: "Damn it's really amazing, not a single mistake!"
