"Physician Li is my benefactor. Are you intending to drive my benefactor out?" Shang Yuan roared.
Shen Hongsheng was startled. Shang Yuan had been called by Li Se. He knew he had run into trouble and began to sweat. "Master Shang, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Although he was the person in charge of Zhong Bao Pavilion, he was still somewhat inferior to the position of chief appraisal master.
"Heh, is this a misunderstanding?" Shang Yuan sneered.
Shen Hongsheng hurriedly apologized to Li Se and Wei Xueru. "I was too impulsive just now, it was my fault. I hope you two won't hold it against me."
He then slapped Luo Qingyao hard. "Bitch, why don't you apologize quickly?"
"I... I'm sorry..." Luo Qingyao was unwilling. Why was she always suppressed by Wei Xueru? She thought that since her man was the person in charge of Zhong Bao Pavilion, she could finally suppress Wei Xueru. She never expected that she would still be suppressed. She was unwilling and unconvinced, but no matter how unwilling she was, she had to apologize obediently on the surface.
"Apologize to Xueru!" Li Se said.
Luo Qingyao gritted her teeth, looked at Wei Xueru, and said, "I'm sorry!"
"Get out!" Li Se waved his hand, as if dismissing a dog.
Luo Qingyao and Shen Hongsheng could only leave quickly, not daring to linger any longer.
"Physician Li, long time no see." Shang Yuan laughed heartily. He was quite polite and respectful towards Li Se.
"Master Shang, have you recovered well?" Li Se asked.
"Yes, after your treatment, I have fully recovered. My granddaughter is also lively and active. You must come over and visit when you have time," Shang Yuan said.
"I will!" Li Se nodded.
"Let's go to the third floor!" Shang Yuan invited him proactively.
Zhong Bao Pavilion had three floors. The third floor was for auctions, and precious antiques were also traded on the third floor. As for the first floor, it was for more ordinary items, and there were not even antiques worth over a million.
Soon, they arrived at the third floor, and the auction was still in progress.
"Physician Li?" Yin Wenhao saw Li Se and hurried over to greet him.
"Brother Yin, long time no see," Li Se replied politely.
"Miss Wei, what is the situation between you two?" Yin Wenhao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Li Se and Wei Xueru together. Had their relationship developed to that point?
Wei Xueru said with a blush, "My grandfather wants to buy some calligraphy and paintings, so he asked Li Se to come and help appraise them."
Shang Yuan laughed. "Don't worry, this time everything has been appraised by me. There will be no mistakes. The Tang Bohu painting last time was not appraised by me. I was recuperating at home at that time, which is why such a thing happened at Zhong Bao Pavilion."
Since the incident with the Tang Bohu painting, Wei San had some doubts about Zhong Bao Pavilion's reputation and even didn't trust Shang Yuan much. Therefore, when buying calligraphy and paintings later, he would ask Li Se.
Suddenly remembering something, Shang Yuan looked at Li Se with some surprise. "I heard from Wenhao that you also have some achievements in antiques?"
"I know a little," Li Se said humbly.
"Don't be modest. Although that Tang Bohu painting was not appraised by me, the appraisal masters at Zhong Bao Pavilion still have some skill. Even they misjudged it, which shows how well it was forged. The fact that you could see through it already demonstrates your ability!" Shang Yuan said with some admiration. Li Se's ability impressed him greatly.
With medical skills, Feng Shui and metaphysics, and now some achievements in antiques and calligraphy, this young man was probably omnipotent? Anyway, Shang Yuan had rarely encountered such a well-rounded young person.
After they sat down, the auction had just reached a painting. However, during the auction, Wei Xueru glanced at Li Se.
After observing the painting, Li Se nodded and said, "It's an authentic piece!"
Only then did Wei Xueru bid with confidence. Shang Yuan and Yin Wenhao next to them felt a bit awkward, but they also knew that the Wei family no longer trusted Zhong Bao Pavilion much.
This painting was still very popular and was quickly auctioned for over ten million. However, Wei Xueru was wealthy and generous, and each bid was increased by five million. Later, no one else bid, and the painting was quickly acquired by her.
"Master Shang, are there any authentic Tang Bohu paintings today?" Wei Xueru asked.
Shang Yuan shook his head. "Authentic Tang Bohu paintings are hard to find, and each painting can fetch a sky-high price. So, even if there were authentic Tang Bohu paintings, they would likely not be auctioned in Qingyun City but at Zhong Bao Pavilion's headquarters."
What was auctioned next was a set of silver needles. There were not many wealthy people interested in silver needles, so there were not many bidders.
Li Se became interested upon seeing this set of silver needles. This was the Taiyi Nine Palaces Linked Needles. If the Taiyi Needling technique and the Heavenly Doctor Nine Needles were used with this set of silver needles, it would be twice as effective. However, he already had a set of Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles. But as a TCM practitioner, he would naturally not let go of such excellent silver needles.
"Ten million!" Li Se bid decisively, directly raising the price from two million to ten million.
Many wealthy people looked at Li Se, and they were all stunned by his move. If Li Se hadn't bid, this set of silver needles might have been sold for five to six million in the end. But this fellow had directly bid up to ten million. Was he rich and didn't know where to spend his money?
Although the Taiyi Nine Palaces Linked Needles were also precious, they were still much inferior to the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles. Selling for several million was already quite good, let alone ten million!
"Eleven million!"
Li Se thought he had it in the bag, but a hoarse voice sounded. He followed the sound and saw an old man with half-white hair. The old man was also looking at him.
"Young friend, I am Xie Yixian. These silver needles are very useful to me. If you are willing to give them up, I can promise you one medical treatment!" The old man stroked his beard and said.
"This is Xie Yixian?"
"That Divine Hand!"
"My heavens, this is a master of traditional Chinese medicine. I didn't expect to meet him here." Kuaishuge
"..."
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Li Se didn't pay much attention. He had originally wanted to bid for the silver needles and give them to Old Huang, but the other party was also a TCM practitioner and clearly needed these silver needles. He had heard of the name Divine Hand and was considering whether to give up and let the other party have them.
However, his hesitation made the other party think that he was reluctant to part with them. Therefore, a younger man beside Xie Yixian shouted, "Kid, my teacher is known as Divine Hand. It is a blessing from your ancestors to have the opportunity to receive his medical treatment. These silver needles are of no use to you. It's better to let my teacher have them. If you are sincere, you can bid for them and give them to my teacher. This would be worthy of his medical treatment. Don't be ungrateful!"
