"What?"
"This lad dares to speak of Master Mo Yang in such a manner?"
"The master helped him choose his treasure out of goodwill, yet he says that the master is a scammer?"
"What an arrogant fellow!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the crowd is stunned for a moment before a commotion breaks out.
Is there something wrong with this lad's head?
The master went through so much trouble to help him choose his treasure, yet he says that the other party is … a scammer and bragging?
"What did you say?" Not expecting the young man to say such words, 'Master Mo Yang's' face darkens. "Little friend, do you have some misunderstanding with me?"
"Misunderstanding? Don't you know what I am talking about? If you want to scam others, go ahead. It has nothing to do with me and I can't be bothered about it either! I choose my treasure while you lie to your people. We should mind our own business, so stop putting on that high and mighty face of yours before me! "
Zhang Xuan waves his hands in irritation.
He has never had a good impression of scammers. It is one thing if the other party doesn't provoke him, but to think that he would dare to brag to him. He is truly courting death!
"Audacious!" 'Master Mo Yang's' face steels. Flinging his sleeves, he exudes an aura of righteousness. "I, Master Mo, obtained my appraiser license thirty years ago. I appraise artifacts for others and solve their problems. I have always had a clear conscience! No one has ever said that I am a scammer. Everyone here can testify for me. When have I ever lied to any of you? "
"Master Mo Yang is a benevolent person who saves others from danger. How can he possibly be a scammer!"
"What an irresponsible junior, you must be courting death!"
"Master, calm down. I will teach this fellow a lesson for you and let him know that he can eat whatever he wants, but he shouldn't spout whatever he wants …"
…
'Master Mo Yang's' words infuriates everyone. They stare at Zhang Xuan as though he is their father's murderer.
"Obtained the appraiser license thirty years ago? A clear conscience? "
Zhang Xuan is speechless.
You are just a mere apprentice appraiser, what are you trying to do?
Your skin is really thicker than I thought.
It is no wonder why you are a wanted scammer in Liuzhu Kingdom. Putting aside your thick skin, you are able to adapt quickly.
Other swindlers would definitely panic when they were exposed in public, but this guy pointed the spearhead at him with just one sentence, making it difficult for him to back down.
If he didn't have the Library of Heaven's Path, seeing how righteous he was, he would definitely suspect that there was a mistake. However, with the library in hand, since it said that he was a liar, then he must be!
"Everyone, stop arguing!" Seeing that he has successfully incited the rage of the crowd, 'Master Mo Yang' grasps the initiative and waves his hands grandly. "I am a magnanimous person. If you can apologize for your words earlier, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you should be well aware of the punishment that awaits you for insulting me!"
"Punishment?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "It's easy to verify whether you're a liar or whether I'm spouting nonsense. You just have to polish the things they bought just now, and you'll know the result immediately! What's the point of talking so much nonsense here? "
"Polish them?" 'Master Mo Yang' seems to have expected him to say such words. He said calmly, "I have already said that I will be leaving Tianxuan City tonight. The items I chose for them are all large ones, and it will take at least half a day to polish them before they can reveal their true colors. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I can't afford to waste such a long time! Why, are you trying to say that the reason why I don't have time to stay here is because of my guilty conscience, so you want to leave so as to frame me? "
At this point, the elder flung his sleeves and a proud aura exuded from him. "I, Mo Yang, am an upright person, so why would I fear being framed? However, I helped you choose the treasures out of goodwill, yet you claim that I am a scammer. Without any proof, this is slander. Do you know the consequences of slandering a master appraiser? "
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan finally understood that he had underestimated the other party's shamelessness.
As expected of a professional scammer, he has even thought of a way out.
Previously, he said that he would be leaving Tianxuan Royal City tonight and laid the groundwork for it. Yet, before he could even open his mouth, he had already turned the tables on him. Now, even if he were to say that he doesn't dare to wait for the treasures to be polished, no one would believe him!
Besides … He doesn't have any proof to claim that he is a scammer!
It is impossible for the secret of the Library of Heaven's Path to be made public. Furthermore, even if it were to be made public, there must be people who believe it first!
"Lad, kneel down and apologize to the master immediately!"
"To dare say that the master is a scammer, do you believe that I won't kill you in minutes?"
"Where did this dog who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth come from? How dare he frame the master?"
…
Hearing the righteous words of the 'master', quite a few people choose to believe him immediately and berate Zhang Xuan.
These people are infuriated.
Those who have been scammed have all fallen into a state of self-hypnosis. From the depths of their hearts, they are unwilling to admit that they have been scammed. Anyone who disturbs their sweet dreams will be vehemently opposed and berated!
In their view, given how noble 'Master Mo Yang' is, how can he be a scammer?
You must be joking!
"Since this fellow says that the master is a scammer, he must be skilled in appraising as well, right? If he has the capability, he should choose one for us to see. If he chooses a trash, stop putting on an act here and scram! "
A neutral voice harrumphs from the crowd.
"Indeed. Since you said that I am a scammer and that you are unwilling to accept the treasure I recommended to you, I believe that you must have some knowledge in appraising as well!"
Hearing those words, 'Master Mo Yang' nods his head and looks over. "How about this, I'll give you a chance! We'll choose a simple treasure at the same time, one that can be polished quickly and appraised at any time! As long as the treasure you choose can appreciate in value and earn money, I'll admit that you have good eyes and disregard the crime of framing me! On the other hand, if you were to choose a trash, I'm sorry, but you'll have to buy the treasure I chose for you and kneel down to apologize! "
"You want to compete with me in appraising?" Zhang Xuan is still fretting over how he can produce evidence. Upon hearing those words, he is taken aback and nearly bursts into laughter.
Is there something wrong with this fellow's head?
He owns the Library of Heaven's Path and if he were to claim that he is the second best in the world in appraising, no one would dare to claim that they are the best. To compete with him … Are you sure that your head isn't kicked by a donkey?
However, after thinking about it, he understands the reason behind the other party's actions.
From the other party's point of view, he is just an eighteen to nineteen-year-old young man. What does he know about appraising? On the other hand, since he was able to help others earn money a few days ago, he must have made preparations beforehand. At the same time, if he were to appraise treasures and Zhang Xuan is unable to choose a good one, he can make use of this opportunity to boost his reputation. Perhaps, he might even be able to attract a few fools to invest in him furiously.
"Why? You don't dare to agree to it? "
'Master Mo Yang' looks as though he has the upper hand.
"Fine!" Since the other party is looking for a thrill, how can Zhang Xuan possibly reject him?
"Fine, I'll choose first!" 'Master Mo Yang' flings his sleeves and walks along the long platform. Soon, he stops and picks up a palm-sized treasure.
This object is wrapped in a thick layer of rock, making it impossible to even discern its shape, needless to say, whether it is valuable or not.
"Stall owner, how much is this?"
Picking up the object, 'Master Mo Yang' asks.
"This object is small in size and there isn't much spiritual energy fluctuation. 200 gold coins!" The stall owner walks over.
"Alright, you can find someone to polish it now!"
'Master Mo Yang' says calmly as he passes the coin over.
"Yes!"
The stall owner takes the treasure and sends it to the back of the hall. A moment later, he walks out with a golden toad in his hands. With an excited face, he says, "Congratulations, master, this is the carcass of the 【Spirit Rhinoceros Golden Toad】!"
"What is the Spirit Rhinoceros Golden Toad?"
"The Spirit Rhinoceros Golden Toad is a grade-6 savage beast. The most important part of its body is its skin, and it can only be molted once in its life. This object can be used as medicine, and it is extremely valuable!"
"As expected of Master Mo Yang, your eye of discernment sure is sharp. To be able to pick out a treasure in an instant!"
…
Upon hearing that it is the carcass of the Spirit Rhinoceros Golden Toad, a commotion breaks out.
"There are many people who don't know of this object, so why don't you state the price directly? That way, it will be more intuitive! "'Master Mo Yang' raises his head and exudes an air of arrogance as he says calmly.
"This object is worth … 2000 gold coins!" The stall owner says loudly.
"2000 gold coins?"
"Buying it for 200 gold coins and selling it for 2000 gold coins? Multiplying it by ten times? "
"Incredible!"
"A master is indeed a master. Even a small object can earn him so much. Since you chose such a big object for me, wouldn't you have earned a huge profit?"
…
Upon seeing this sight, the eyes of the slightly worried crowd turn fervent once more.
As expected of a master. His actions are indeed extraordinary!
"Alright, it's your turn!"
'Master Mo Yang' flings his palm and looks at him coldly.
"I …" Zhang Xuan nods his head.
Knowing that the other party is a scammer, he must have a trump card up his sleeves. Just that, he didn't expect the trump card to be so formidable!
Looks like he has to choose a treasure of similar quality.
"Can I choose the treasures first and pay you after you finish polishing them and confirm the price?"
Taking a step forward, Zhang Xuan suddenly recalls a matter and looks at the stall owner.
"No! You have to pay for the item first before we can help you polish it! This is the rule. Otherwise, if the item isn't worth much and you don't want it anymore, or if it's too valuable and we don't want to sell it anymore, we won't be able to explain it! "
The stall owner says coldly.
In treasure gambling, in order to prevent wrangling, one has to pay up after choosing an item. This is equivalent to signing a contract and no one is able to renege on it.
"Alright then …"
Knowing this rule, Zhang Xuan can only nod his head. Lifting his head to look at the stall owner, he says magnanimously, "Come, point out to me which of these treasures are worth less than 8 gold coins! I'll choose one … "
