Gongsun Ming was furious, and the anger in his eyes kept burning.
"insult?"
Ye Tian smiled disdainfully: "It's just the truth."
"Just the truth. Since you are so confident that the bronze sword in your hand is genuine, do you dare to take a personal bet with me?"
"What do you want to bet on?"
"If you lose and voluntarily cut out your tongue, I will make you mute forever!"
As soon as Gongsun Ming said this, the scene was in an uproar.
Who would have thought that he would be so angry that he wanted to cut off Ye Tian's tongue and make him mute.
It can only be said that Gongsun Ming was really angry.
"Then what if you lose?" Ye Tian said calmly.
"You're kidding! Will Gongsun Ming lose to a young guy like you?" Gongsun Ming said unruly.
"Everything is not certain."
"Hmph! If I lose, I'll kill or chop you to pieces as you wish!"
Gongsun Ming looked unconcerned.
In his opinion, there was no way he could lose.
"Okay, if you lose, I want you to destroy your eyes. How dare you?"
Ye Tian's words were shocking.
Who doesn't know that the Gongsun family's ability to detect treasures that they are proud of is their own eyes. If their eyes go blind, it will be even worse than killing them.
"Why don't you dare? Could it be that I'm afraid of you?!"
Gongsun Ming was not afraid at all, he was very confident in himself.
Not only him, but everyone around him also had great confidence in Gongsun Ming.
They all felt that Ye Tian was out of his mind, so they dared to agree to Gongsun Ming's bet.
I'm afraid that after today, Ye Tianxia will have to be a mute for the rest of his life.
Xia Yuankang looked at Ye Tian who took the initiative to die and did not stop him.
In his opinion, Ye Tian's behavior was entirely his own fault and he could not blame anyone.
"Mr. Gongsun, please place the antique on the table. Next, I will carefully evaluate the value of this antique." Xia Yuankang said.
After he spoke, Gongsun Ming also placed the selected antique vases.
After some identification, Xia Yuankang came to a conclusion.
"As Mr. Gongsun said before, this antique is indeed from the Ming Dynasty, and based on the patterns and carving techniques on the vase, I guess it should be the work of Master Dao Yongyuan."
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that this was actually the work of Master Dao Yongyuan.
That was a famous sculptor during the Ming Dynasty!
It is said that many porcelains were made for the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, and the style of their works was deeply loved by many antique collectors in later generations.
In addition, Dao Yongyuan's works are rarely circulated, so the prices on the market are generally high, and even a broken work can be sold for millions.
Although this work is slightly damaged, it is still in good condition overall. If it is put up for auction, it will sell for at least five million!
"It's a pity that this antique has not been signed by Master Dao Yongyuan. Otherwise, the price may have more than doubled." Xia Yuankang said slightly disappointed.
When ancient carving masters carved some works that they were not very satisfied with, they often did not sign their names on the works.
This is also the reason why Xia Yuankang feels regretful.
But even so, the value of this antique is still high, so he said to Gongsun Ming: "Mr. Gongsun, if you are willing, I, Tianzhu Pavilion, are willing to purchase this antique for five million. What do you think?"
In addition to selling antiques and antiques, Tianzhu Pavilion will naturally also charge antiques from other people to replenish its inventory.
At present, this vase has reached the threshold of being used as inventory.
Naturally, Gongsun Ming would not refuse this.
He himself didn't like this kind of gadget, so selling it directly to Tianzhu Pavilion would save him the trouble.
"Lu Tianyang, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to waste everyone's time."
Fourth Master Yan smiled jokingly, his expression full of arrogance and confidence.
In his opinion, there is no suspense in this bet.
Lu Tianyang looked ugly.
Ever since the incident in the hospital, he had thought that Ye Tianhui was a master of treasure appraisal, but now it seemed that he was too naive.
When he thought about losing the bet and having to hand over his treasured 'Royal Dragon Emperor's Seal' to Fourth Master Yan, he felt a faint pain in his chest and was filled with regret.
At this time, it was Ye Tian's turn for the bronze sword.
He put the dusty and worn-out bronze sword in his hand on the table, instantly contaminating the clean tabletop with dust.
Everyone believed that there was no need for identification because this bronze sword could not be authentic.
Just imagine.
How can an antique that can be bought for eighty yuan be authentic?
Many people even taunted Ye Tian in low voices, telling Ye Tian not to waste everyone's time and to admit defeat immediately.
Xia Yuankang also shook his head.
But out of professional ethics, he still carefully appraised the bronze sword.
However, this identification made his pupils shrink suddenly!
He discovered that this bronze sword was actually genuine?!
In order to prevent himself from making mistakes in identification, he checked it carefully again.
But after this inspection, he was convinced that the bronze sword was authentic!
Regardless of the appearance lines or texture, these cannot be imitated by modern industry. There is no doubt that they are real cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty!
"Pavilion Master Xia, since you have finished the appraisal, please tell me out loud, how much is this broken sword worth?"
Fourth Master Yan's face was full of amusement, waiting to see Ye Tian's joke.
In his opinion, this bronze sword was only worth a dozen yuan even if it lasted. Ye Tianhua's purchase of it for eighty yuan was an act of taking advantage of others.
But when Xia Yuankang revealed the price, everyone in the audience was petrified.
"This is a genuine bronze sword from the Qin Dynasty. Based on the current market price, even the lowest quality bronze sword can be sold for tens of millions, let alone this nearly intact bronze sword."
"According to my estimation, this bronze sword can be sold for at least 50 million!"
hiss!
Hearing this, the whole audience took a deep breath.
Fifty million?
Just kidding!
Gongsun Ming's antique vase only costs five million, but Ye Tian's bronze sword is ten times more expensive than him?!
"Master Xia Pavilion, please allow me to personally identify it." Gongsun Ming said solemnly.
Everyone could sense that Gongsun Ming obviously suspected that Pavilion Master Xia and Ye Tian were in contact.
But it was normal for him to doubt it.
After all, no one here believed that Ye Tian could pick up a real bronze sword for eighty yuan.
"Please."
Xia Yuankang didn't stop him either.
Because he knew that if Gongsun Ming didn't test it himself, he wouldn't be convinced.
soon.
Gongsun Ming completed the appraisal.
After the first appraisal, he had a moved expression on his face.
But he didn't give up and conducted a second appraisal.
This time, he even took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of slightly yellow eyes.
This is the treasure-appraising eye that the Gongsun family is proud of. As long as you concentrate, you can peek into the inside of an object to determine the authenticity of antiques.
But even with the treasure-appraisal eye, Gongsun Ming still couldn't find any evidence that the bronze sword was a fake.
This made his whole face pale and his spirit seemed to be depressed.
When everyone saw this scene, they were in disbelief!
