Chapter 20: Chapter 20 – Scouring for Treasures in the Antique Market

However, the reality now was that Lin Xiao, who had always been vain and particular about her image, could not continue to go shopping with Lin Rui in such a disheveled state.

‘Lin Rui, you bitch!’

Lin Xiao was so exasperated that she started trembling from head to toe, and some acid surged in her stomach.

She turned her head, leaned her weight against the car, and threw up again while retching continuously.

Afterward, Lin Xiao watched as Lin Rui shook her head and left with a look of disdain.

She was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth hard!

Lin Xiao finally stopped vomiting, but she dared not wander around either.

Worried that her acquaintances might see her in such a disheveled state, she turned around and sat back in the car, glaring at the direction that Lin Rui left in with resentment in her eyes.

“Lin Rui! Continue being smug! When Lin Zikang goes on a business trip, let’s see how we’ll teach you a lesson!”

Lin Rui had already gone far away.

She was tall and stunningly beautiful.

Due to her short and neat hair, her gender was indistinguishable at first glance.

After being nourished by the water of the Eternal Spring, Lin Rui’s skin had become fair and translucent.

Along the way, she attracted the gazes of many people.

Some girls even secretly took photos of her and uploaded them onto a social media platform.

Lin Rui did not care much because she felt that they were not malicious.

After walking around the central mall, she put on a black baseball cap, tugged her duffel bag, and hopped into a cab.

“Sir, I’d like to go to Antique City.”

“Sure.”

Half an hour later, Lin Rui arrived at the largest antique market in Jin City.

It was actually a seven-story building that was full of antique stores.

The items sold from Level 2 to Level 6 were split into different categories.

Besides, there were various stalls on every floor, and the seventh floor was the place where auctions were held regularly.

An auction would be held on the 29th of every month.

Today happened to be the 29th of August, but the auction had yet to begin, so Lin Rui planned to go shopping and try her luck first.

Qi Bao in the space was much more excited than Lin Rui about the fact that they were about to start scouring for treasures soon.

He used his mind power to communicate with Lin Rui and was now rubbing his fist.

“Master, Master, watch me later. If there are treasures, I will definitely not miss it!”

Lin Rui burst into laughter.

Fortunately, she knew that the original body of Qi Bao was a pawn of the Buddha. Otherwise, she would have thought that he was a dragon.

He loved treasures that much.

She said to Qi Bao, “You should not expect too much. After all, the aura of this world is very scant. Even if there are really treasures, the spiritual energy in them may have already been worn out. So, as long as we find something with spiritual energy later, help me to pay attention to it.”

“Sure! Master, rest assured and leave it to me!”

He patted his chest confidently.

They did not find any treasures from the second to the sixth floor. After thinking about it, Lin Rui walked towards the stalls on the first floor.

The stalls there were extremely simple, and there were people playing cards at the side.

Some were smoking, and some were fighting or bickering with each other. It was as chaotic as a market.

Someone was also attentively trying to fool others.

A young man with dimples was trying to sell his stuff to an elderly man who seemed to be in his late fifties who was squatting in front of his stall.

“Sir, look at this eagle-beak pot. This was used by a nobleman’s family in the Song Dynasty! Look at the pattern, look at the luster…”

The elderly man rolled his eyes and asked, “Isn’t this a spittoon?”

The smile on the face of the man with dimples suddenly stiffened.

However, he continued stubbornly, “This might be a spittoon, but it’s still an antique. Wasn’t it mentioned on the news that Empress Dowager Cixi’s foot basin was also sold at a sky-high price?”

“Oh, do you have Empress Dowager Cixi’s foot basin with you here?”
