When Ye Tian and the others arrived at the British Library, Shan Lao and a large number of domestic cultural and museum personnel had already arrived here in advance, and entered the British Library one after another as tourists, and then gathered in a medium-sized lecture hall.

In this way, they managed to avoid the eyes of many media reporters, and also avoided the eyes of many visitors, and their actions were very low-key.

Of course, all this was arranged by Ye Tian, just to avoid extraneous branches.

The British Library was also very cooperative, and they also hoped that the art deal would be completed smoothly and that there would be no surprises.

Under the leadership of a deputy director of the British Library, Ye Tian and his sister-in-law walked into this medium-sized lecture hall together.

As soon as he entered the lecture hall, Ye Tian saw that Caroline, the director of the British Library, was talking to Shan Lao, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian didn't feel the slightest strangeness.

Caroline and Shan Lao belong to two of the world's top cultural and museum institutions, the British Library and the Forbidden City, and both hold important positions and are well-known in their respective fields, and they must have met on many occasions before, and they are very familiar with each other.

Beside and behind Kaluline stood several other high-level officials of the British Library, as well as some museum personnel, with relatively serious expressions.

Those top antique art appraisal experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, as well as many cultural and museum personnel, stood behind Shan Lao and others, and everyone was extremely excited and their eyes were shining.

Mr. Qian, who volunteered to participate in the reception of antique artworks, and several other old men were also in this lecture hall at this moment, and they were also very excited.

After a quick glance at the situation in the lecture hall, Ye Tian took his sister-in-law and walked straight to the side where Shan Lao and Caroline were.

At the same time, everyone in the lecture hall turned their heads to look at it, because of the different nationalities, the expressions of everyone at the scene were also very different.

Without exception, all the Chinese at the scene were extremely excited and full of anticipation, while all the British were full of resentment and even hatred.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had come closer.

"Good morning, Ms. Caroline, it's a pleasure to see you again, the weather is nice today, I hope you can be in a good mood, you look so elegant and beautiful today"

Ye Tian greeted Caroline warmly and sent a few words of compliment.

"Good morning, Steven, I'm glad to see you again, but I'm afraid I'm not in a good mood, and it's hard for anyone to feel better after being ransacked like crazy."

Caroline said with a smile and shook Ye Tian's hand.

"Hahaha"

There was laughter, and all the Chinese who could understand English laughed.

Those who could not understand English soon learned the meaning of Caroline's words through the translator, and immediately laughed.

Those British Yankees who were at the same scene naturally couldn't laugh, and their expressions were somewhat depressed.

Next, Ye Tian introduced his sister-in-law and others again.

Hearing that the Chinese woman in her early forties in front of her was Aunt Ye Tian, Caroline immediately joked in a slightly complaining tone:

"Ms. Ye, you really should take good care of your nephew and let him be merciful to us, this guy's methods are really ruthless, our British Library has been ransacked by this guy"

"Hahaha"

There was laughter again, and everyone laughed, and everyone felt the same way.

After getting to know each other and greeting each other politely, we got to the main topic of today.

"Ms. Caroline, please take us to the storehouse where the Dunhuang Canon and the forty-five volumes of the Yongle Canon are kept, so that we can count and appraise them, and then complete this art transaction between us."

Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone and expression were quite calm, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

However, when Shan Lao and all the other Chinese in this lecture hall heard his words, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and they almost cheered.

Caroline glanced at Ye Tian deeply, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Well, Steven, please come with me, I will take you to the storeroom where the Dunhuang Canon and the Yongle Canon are kept, and it is conceivable that this will be a sad day in the long history of the British Library."

As she spoke, Caroline made a gesture of please, and then led Ye Tian and them towards the outside of the lecture hall.

While stepping out, Ye Tian also smiled and said:

"Madam Caroline, this may be a sad day for you at the British Library, but for all Chinese, this is a great historical moment to celebrate.

And I'm sure you'll soon have a huge surprise, and that surprise will be enough to wash away all your unhappiness and pain, and it's definitely a win-win art deal for you and me."

While speaking, the group of them had already walked out of the lecture hall and walked towards the treasury where the Dunhuang scriptures and the "Yongle Canon" were preserved.

Ten minutes later, they came to a library with constant temperature and humidity and began to prepare for storage.

Because of the special environment in the warehouse, and the storage of many valuable rare books and important historical documents, anyone who enters it must make some preparations.

First of all, everyone has to put on a full set of protective clothing, masks and gloves, and then they have to go through three isolation doors before they can actually enter the library and see those precious ancient books.

After all, this is the territory of the British, and it is not good to be anti-guest-oriented.

Besides, this is indeed a very scientific procedure, which is conducive to the protection of those precious rare books and historical documents, and everyone will naturally not object.

Before coming to the library, Ye Tian and the others immediately entered the preparation room, and then followed the guidance of the relevant personnel of the British Museum and began to put on protective equipment.

There were not many people entering the preparation room, only Ye Tian and Shan Lao, as well as several top calligraphy and painting experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum.

As for the sister-in-law, as well as the other cultural and museum personnel from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, they all stayed in the hall outside the library, and they had to wait a little longer before they could enter it.

Ye Tian's main task in taking the lead in entering the library was to determine the number of Dunhuang canons and Yongle Canons, and to quickly identify the authenticity of those priceless treasures.

When they finish these tasks, the museum personnel outside the library can enter the library and start the follow-up cleaning work.

In the blink of an eye, the preparations are complete.

At this time, Ye Tian and Shan Lao had already changed their appearances, everyone was wearing white protective clothing, masks and gloves, and goggles, ready to enter the library.

After the equipment was completed, several of them came out of the preparation room and came to the first transparent isolation door.

Caroline, who was also wearing a protective suit, glanced at the two of them, then made a gesture of please, and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, please, the rare books and historical documents stored in this library are all from China, and each of them is very valuable, the most valuable of which are the Dunhuang Canon and the Yongle Canon.

You are not the first Chinese to enter this library, but you are definitely the largest group of visitors, and more importantly, you will take away the most important treasures in this library, which is sad to think about!"

Before the words fell, the tempered glass door in front of everyone slowly slid open.

Caroline was the first to step out and through the first isolation door, followed by several other British Museum officials and museum staff.

The last to enter were Ye Tian and Shan Lao, and several of them were extremely excited, and the hands of several of them were even trembling slightly.

When they all entered the isolation room, the first isolation door behind them closed.

After a short pause, the second isolation door opened, and everyone entered the next isolation room.

Next, the same procedure was repeated again.

When the last isolation door opened, a refreshing ink fragrance immediately came to their faces, directly into the noses of Ye Tian and Shan Lao, making each of them intoxicated.

At this time, they were all stunned when they looked at the rows of bookshelves of astonishing length that reached to the roof, as well as the countless rare books and historical documents placed on the shelves.

Without exception, each of them was completely shocked by the situation in the library in front of them, including Ye Tian, who had already seen all this through to the fore.

This is a sea of books, blooming with the incomparably brilliant light of civilization!

"Steven, and gentlemen, the Dunhuang Canon and the Yongle Canon that you are eager to see are stored here, please come with me."

With Caroline's words, Ye Tian and the others all came to their senses.

In the next moment, each of their eyes suddenly became brighter, like a searchlight!
