"I'll go with you," Leng Shaoting said.
"I'm going to rob a tomb. You're a soldier who specializes in dealing with criminals. Why don't you stop me? Why do you want to go with me?" Gu Ning joked.
"Since I'm willing to take such a big risk to commit a crime with you, shouldn't you give me a big reward?" Leng Shaoting stared at Gu Ning. His voice was very ambiguous, which made the so-called reward sound very improper.
Gu Ning, of course, understood what Leng Shaoting meant. She glared at him and said, "When did you become so talkative?"
"After I was with you," Leng Shaoting said with a serious face, but it wasn't wrong. Leng Shaoting became cheerful and talkative after he was with Gu Ning.
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second, then glared at him again, but it wasn't lethal at all. Instead, it had a special charm, which made Leng Shaoting even more excited. His voice became a little hoarse. "Ningning, if you keep looking at me like that, I can't take it."
The word "can't take it" was full of desire, and Gu Ning was so mad that she almost couldn't breathe.
Why was she looking at him? She just glared at him for a while. If he couldn't take it, she might as well not look at him in the future. Gu Ning didn't want to talk to Leng Shaoting anymore, so she walked ahead of him and kept a distance from him.
There were three people in total in Xiangyun Antique-store. One of them was the store manager, while the other two were ordinary employees.
When Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived, there were no customers in the store.
Seeing that there were customers, an employee immediately came to welcome them. "Welcome, please feel free to have a look around."
Gu Ning didn't immediately reveal her identity. Instead, she leisurely walked around. She didn't have any intention of buying. She just wanted to see if these people would change their faces or chase her away.
The result was good. Gu Ning didn't know if these people were unhappy, but at least they didn't show any displeasure or impatience on their faces. Instead, when they saw that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had stayed for a long time, they even poured two cups of tea for them.
Just as Gu Ning was about to speak, a middle-aged man came into the shop with a sack in his hand.
At the sight of this man, Gu Ning slightly narrowed her eyes, because this man was the same as the previous stall owner. No, it should be more serious than the previous stall owner. His face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and his glabella was dark.
Evidently, he had come into contact with antiques that contained Yin energy.
After that, Gu Ning's sight fell on the sack in the man's hand. She used her Jade Eyes to see a pile of antiques inside. Of course, they were all fake.
However, there were two real ones. One was a bronze wine vessel with a height of 14 centimeters and a diameter of 7 centimeters to 10.5 centimeters. The other was a bronze mirror with a diameter of 19.3 centimeters. It was made in the Warring States Period.
However, there was a mixture of white mist and black mist on the two real antiques.
Gu Ning guessed that these two antiques must have come from the same place as the bronze dagger. They were both bronze antiques. This tomb should be from the Warring States Period, or a little later.
"I just bought a batch of antiques from the countryside. Do you want to buy them?" the man asked.
"Come on in! Let me have a look first, "the store manager said.
They sold both real antiques and fake antiques. As long as they looked good and the price was reasonable, they would buy them.
"Wait a second," Gu Ning said at once.
The store manager stopped and looked at Gu Ning. He asked politely, "Hi, how may I help you?"
Gu Ning took out her identification card and gave it to the store manager. The store manager was astonished at once. "Nice to meet you, boss!"
He didn't expect the new boss to be a young lady. What a surprise!
When the two employees heard this, they were stunned for a moment, but they soon realized that this was their new boss. They immediately greeted him respectfully, "Boss."
Gu Ning nodded, then said to the store manager, "I want to have a look at these antiques too."
The store manager's name was Chen Darong. He was in his early forties and was a diligent man. He had worked in Xiangyun Antique-store for more than 20 years. He started as an apprentice, so he was a professional in antiques.
"No problem, boss," Chen Darong said. He didn't take Gu Ning lightly just because she was young.
Since she was able to buy Xiangyun Antique-store, it meant that she wasn't an ordinary girl either in terms of social status or ability. Smart people wouldn't judge a book by its cover, so they wouldn't oppose those who weren't simple.
After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting followed Chen Darong and the man into the inner room of the store.
When they were in the inner room, the man put the sacks down first, then opened them.
Gu Ning pretended to look through them, then picked up the bronze wine vessel and the bronze mirror. She said to Chen Darong, "I'll take these two. Uncle Chen, you can take the rest as you wish."
Gu Ning had to get rid of the Yin in these two antiques before she took them back to the store, or the staff in the store would suffer.
Chen Darong was struck dumb for a second when Gu Ning called him Uncle Chen. He didn't expect that his boss would call him Uncle Chen, but he felt a little closer to her. It seemed that their new boss wasn't an arrogant person.
"Sure," Chen Darong said. He didn't ask further why Gu Ning wanted to take these two antiques.
However, since Gu Ning wanted them, Gu Ning would pay for them herself. These two antiques only cost ten thousand yuan. The man didn't know that these antiques were real, so he treated them as fake antiques. After all, it wasn't easy to get real antiques nowadays.
Some peddlers would come to the store to see whether it was willing to buy antiques from the countryside. If the store refused, they would sell them themselves.
"Where did you get these antiques?" Gu Ning asked the man.
"From several places! Fengyang Village, Daning Village … "the man said.
Gu Ning suddenly thought of a problem. These antiques had just been unearthed, but if the villagers had really taken them out from the tombs, they should have known that they were real. They wouldn't have sold them to peddlers at such a low price.
Gu Ning couldn't figure it out at the moment. She had to investigate it herself to find out the truth.
During this time, Gu Ning found an excuse to go to the washroom. She put the bronze wine vessel and the bronze mirror into her telepathic eye space. Because there was magical power in her telepathic eye space, she could purify the two antiques in her telepathic eye space. In this way, she didn't need to consume the magical power in her body directly.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn't stay for long. They left after greeting everyone else. They would come back after Gu Ning came back from Fengyang Village.
However, Gu Ning wasn't in a hurry to go to Fengyang Village, because it would be too conspicuous if they went there during the day. They were going to explore a tomb after all, not travel, so they could only sneak into the village at night.
