Chapter 20: We Don't Want It!

"Professor Mu?"

Seeing that there were three other people on the third floor besides Gu Qianqian and Tang Xiaolong, Qin Xuan asked with some curiosity.

Hearing Qin Xuan's inquiry, Gu Qianqian hurriedly introduced.

"This is Professor Mu Hongmu, the director of the Department of Archaeology of Yuncheng University, who is very famous in the antique world of Yuncheng and even the entire Jiangnan Province."

"Hello Professor Mu."

Seeing Gu Qianqian introduce the identity of the flower-haired old man in front of him, Qin Xuan greeted politely.

"I don't even know my teacher, why are you here to be in a place like this?"

Without waiting for Mu Hong to speak, a girl standing behind him couldn't help but taunt Qin Xuan.

The girl is 1.7 meters tall and looks quite standard.

It can be counted as eye-catching in the crowd, but compared to Gu Qianqian, the first goddess of Cloud City, it will be dwarfed.

"Hey, Xiaoya, don't be rude!"

Hearing that his apprentice Zhao Ya was very rude to Qin Xuan, Mu Hong gently reprimanded the former.

"What experts teach, it's just a name."

"If it weren't for Miss Gu's light, I wouldn't have the good fortune to be able to see the treasure of Tianbao Tower!"

Mu Hong responded with a smile on his face.

Faced with Mu Hong's humble words, the last of the three hurriedly spoke.

"Professor Mu, you are a Taishan Beidou-level existence in our Cloud City Antique World, if you don't dare to call yourself an expert, then aren't you even an apprentice like us?"

Standing opposite Mu Hong, a middle-aged man in a Tang costume asked with a smile.

Qi Dong laughed.

Mu Hong waved his hand gently, as if he had known the middle-aged man in a Tang costume for a long time.

"Miss Gu, I heard that you want to buy the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Diagram of Tianbao Tower, but I also appreciate this Hundred Birds and Phoenix."

"So I came here to see if I could invite a baby, and it won't get in the way of Miss Gu, right?"

After exchanging a few words with Mu Hong, Qi Changfeng turned his head to look at Gu Qianqian.

"Uncle Qi said with a smile, this Hundred Birds Chaofeng Figure is the treasure of Tianbaolou, and things have not been sold yet, so naturally everyone has a chance to fight for it."

When Gu Qianqian saw Qi Changfeng for the first time, she knew that the latter was not good.

Sure enough, as she expected, as soon as Qi Changfeng came up, he went straight to the point and explained the intention of competing for a hundred birds and a phoenix.

Although Gu Qianqian and Tang Xiaolong agreed first, she did not pay, so she did not stop Qi Changfeng from competing for the Hundred Birds and Phoenix.

Seeing Gu Qianqian nodding in agreement, the corners of Qi Changfeng's mouth rose.

"Hahaha, I have long heard that the daughter of the Gu family is knowledgeable, and now I see that it is really worthy of her reputation."

"In that case, Manager Tang, please also invite the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Diagram out!"

Qi Changfeng said to Tang Xiaolong with a confident look.

"Everyone, please wait!"

Hearing Qi Changfeng's words, Tang Xiaolong turned around and walked towards the fourth floor.

In less than five minutes, Tang Xiaolong walked in front of everyone with a long painting box in his hand.

"Professor Mu, please do me a favor and help me take out this Hundred Birds and Phoenix."

Opening the painting box, Tang Xiaolong pleaded to Mu Hong.

"Good!"

At Tang Xiaolong's request, Mu Hong carefully took out the scroll in the painting box.

That careful appearance is not like a painting, but caressing the skin of a peerless beauty!

Because he was too cautious, it took Mu Hong three minutes to fully unfold the painting.

When the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Diagram was fully unfolded, everyone present widened their eyes!

"It is worthy of the pinnacle work of Shen Quan, a master of calligraphy and painting."

"Such a delicate and perfect work should be a gem!"

Looking at the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix in front of him, Mu Hong, who is a top treasure appreciation expert, took the lead in opening his mouth.

I don't know if I want to try Qin Xuan's depth, or if I want to give Qin Xuan a chance to perform in front of everyone.

After unfolding the scroll, Mu Hong turned his head to look at Qin Xuan, who didn't seem to have much interest in paintings.

"This gentleman is a friend of Miss Gu, and he should also know something about this Hundred Birds and Phoenix."

"I wonder if you can introduce this heirloom to everyone?"

With Mu Hong's inquiry, everyone's eyes on the scene converged on Qin Xuan's body.

"Uh, this ......"

Seeing that everyone was looking at Qin Xuan, Gu Qianqian hurriedly wanted to answer for Qin Xuan.

But before Gu Qianqian's words were finished, Qin Xuan didn't care about everyone.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what a hundred birds are looking at the phoenix."

Qin Xuan's voice landed, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became awkward.

Seeing Qin Xuan, he didn't know that this hundred birds were still looking high-spirited.

Tang Xiaolong, who regarded him as a rival in love, was happy in his heart!

"Ahem!"

"Professor Mu, although I am only a little learned, I still have some understanding of the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix, why don't you let me introduce it?"

Clearing his throat, Tang Xiaolong asked Mu Hong.

"Oh?"

"Since Manager Tang is willing to take the initiative to explain, it is naturally better."

In order to avoid embarrassment, Mu Hong smiled and nodded.

"This picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix is the pinnacle of the Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting master Shen Quan, the painting is 111.4 centimeters long and 32 centimeters wide, which is a rare masterpiece."

"In the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, Shen Quan uses his good skill of fine brushwork, freehand, part-time work with writing, heavy color, light color, boneless, outline and fill in color and other eighteen kinds of martial arts at the same time, proficient in everything, and uses various techniques perfectly."

"Professor Mu, I don't know if I'm right?"

After introducing the Hundred Birds and Phoenixes, Tang Xiaolong glanced at Qin Xuan with a smug expression.

"Good!"

"Well said!"

"Manager Tang has such knowledge at a young age, it seems that this Tianbaolou can be carried forward in the hands of Manager Tang again!"

Mu Hong looked at Tang Xiaolong's eyes with a deep appreciation.

"Of course, this Tianbaolou is Manager Tang's family business, Manager Tang is young and promising, but it is not comparable to a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills."

Hearing Mu Hong's praise of Tang Xiaolong, Qi Changfeng, who was standing on the side, also echoed.

However, unlike Mu Hong's simple praise, Qi Changfeng's words were obviously directed at Qin Xuan.

Compare Qin Xuan, who didn't know anything about the Hundred Birds and Phoenixes, to Tang Xiaolong, who was like a treasure.

While praising Tang Xiaolong, he also stepped on Qin Xuan hard.

Facing Qi Changfeng's sarcasm, Qin Xuan frowned.

However, after glancing at the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Diagram unfolded on the table, the corners of Qin Xuan's mouth rose slightly.

"Okay, now the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix Picture are in front of the two of them, and Miss Gu has also agreed that Dong Qi can participate in the bidding."

"Please give your price to those two!"

After a provocative glance at Qin Xuan, Tang Xiaolong talked about the matter of auctioning the Hundred Birds and the Phoenix Map.

"Eighty million!"

"I only quote a fixed price, if Miss Gu can exceed my bid, I don't want this picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix."

Hearing that Qi Changfeng's offer was exactly the highest price he could give, Gu Qianqian frowned.

As for how Qi Changfeng learned about her reserve price, Gu Qianqian noticed that something seemed to be wrong.

But thinking that tomorrow night is the old lady's birthday banquet, I must come up with a sincere gift.

So Gu Qianqian had to grit her teeth.

But just when Gu Qianqian was about to increase the price by one million to win the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Diagram, Qin Xuan actually took the first step to hold Gu Qianqian's hand.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, Qin Xuan said softly

"This painting belongs to you, we don't want it!"
