All of a sudden, the emergence of an old man from the Auction House took away the complaints of the crowds. In silence, he flashed to Zhang Yan and asked with little anger, "Sir, was it you who beat our guards?"
The latter nodded, "Yes! So what? Is it really that unfair that you are allowed to offend me but I'm not to take it back?"
The old man continued to question, "So we have offended you first?"
Zhang Yan blurted with a snort, "I have a very precious thing to sell at your Auction House, but these two dogs looked down on me, satirized me and even wanted to beat me after I only refuted one sentence! Is this your attitude toward guests?"
"If it is, I won't sell my treasure here, in case you stole it!" added he loudly.
"Since then, please follow me to the Checking Office and if your item is indeed precious enough, you will naturally become one of our VIPs and I will let these two servants to apologize to you. But if you are aiming to make trouble, we won't let you go easily!" replied the old man in a humble way.
"Checking? Well, let's go! I'm not afraid!" After those words, he followed the old man to the Checking Office in the backyard of the Auction House.
A white-haired elderly was vetting a stone in his hand in the room. Noticing they two, he just put the stone down and asked smilingly, "What kind of item this time?"
The old man leading Zhang Yan here responded with a smile as well, "Elder Su, this boy said he owns a treasure to be identified."
Interest climbed in the Elder Su's heart, whose hobby was to evaluate kinds of treasures for so many years and who considered himself knowledgeable, never making wrong identifications. He smiled to Zhang Yan, "Kid, show me your treasure!"
Zhang Yan was hesitant, after all, he was not familiar with this place and he could only suffer his lose if they robbed his Anti-Soul Figure.
The Elder Su seemed to see through him and reassured him with a patient smile, "You don't have to be worried, because I have never wrongly vetted any treasures in my lifetime. As for the safety issue, there is no need to worry it at all either, since we are a big famous Auction House and will not abandon our credibility!"
"That's hard to say! Look at the quality of your guards! They've ruined your credibility!" Zhang Yan suspected, "But since I'm already here, I can give you a chance to have a look of it! But I don't know if you can recognize it."
The younger old man sneered, "What a joke! There are no treasures even unknown to the Elder Su in this town!"
Zhang Yan didn't reply him, instead, he fetched out the Anti-Soul Figure that he had used once for the small ghosts. The figure had astounded the Elder Su at the first glance, for he was a spirit tattooist who held a very strong love for spirit tattooing skills. He took over the figure and began to observe it carefully.
As the time went by, he got more shocked, for it was the first time for him to see a such kind of spiritual pattern. His hands were trembling in excitement, "Very smooth drawing and very delicate lines! This figure is really a treasure!"
The another old man suddenly became soft and friendly under such situation.
After a long time, the Elder Su eventually stopped inspecting, but still praised, "It is perfect! And only a spirit tattooing master can depict such a woderful work. Do you know him, kid?"
