Qu Lin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Even if I didn’t replace you, I wouldn’t turn back. A father’s murder is not something that can be easily forgotten."

Luo Qianqian nodded with a smile; the remaining time undoubtedly couldn’t be spent going back to the trade fair. Having caused such a big problem, they should undoubtedly lay low, just waiting for the third day, the final day’s auction.

"Shall we take a stroll together?" Luo Qianqian offered with a smile.

Qu Lin nodded, and naturally, Tang Tianyi followed Luo Qianqian. Thus, he didn’t say much.

Recalling the future, it seemed that something big had also happened on the Antique Street of Yucheng City, right? It seemed some exquisite items emerged, taking the entire antique world by storm, becoming a place everyone’s obligated to visit.

And before Luo Qianqian arrived, Qin Nuan specifically mentioned this to her, reminding her to stay vigilant.

Most of the people in the Antique Market were elderly; there weren’t many young people, but you couldn’t say there weren’t any. However, the number of young people setting up stalls exceeded the older ones.

Just like Capital City’s Antique Street, both sides of the street were lined with shops, with many street vendors in front. As long as they didn’t obstruct the shop’s business, the stores wouldn’t interfere.

No matter where the Antique Street was, without exception, genuine items were rare, and most were fake. Everyone was well aware of this, but the possibility of lucky finds couldn’t be denied.

To identify genuine items from the seller’s hand and acquire them at a very low price is an art.

Antiques purchased from street vendors come with no return or exchange guarantee, as it tests discernment and luck. If, after appraisal, a mistake is discovered, there’s no way to return or exchange it. Moreover, street vendor prices are inherently much lower than store prices.

Inside the shops, most items are marked with clear price tags, with their era specified. If you encounter a counterfeit, you can get it back, and they provide invoices.

At any time, jade and antiques are two investments with both risks and opportunities. Fortunate ones strike it rich overnight; unfortunate ones end up losing everything.

It’s riskier compared to stocks.

Stocks might rise again, but antiques and jade, once verified to be fake, are worthless.

The red-haired sexy woman, the girl with a middle school appearance, and the handsome young man naturally attracted a lot of attention here. They seemed like an odd combination. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

However, they didn’t mind it much, since such a combination likely didn’t have any sophisticated insight—probably just kids looking around.

Luo Qianqian added this place to her itinerary only because of Qin Nuan’s task. If it weren’t for accidentally obtaining that little snack bowl at the food stall, she wouldn’t have cared.

After a few steps, Luo Qianqian stopped at a stall and squatted down.

There were many things on the stall, of various kinds, all mixed together.

The stall owner, a middle-aged man, seeing it was a young girl squatting down, didn’t pay much heed.

"Uncle, how much is this?" She picked up a black pendant from the stall, looking delighted: "It matches my Xiao Hei perfectly."

"Xiao Hei?" Qu Lin was puzzled.

Tang Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his nose: "It’s a dog."

The stall owner glanced at the pendant in Luo Qianqian’s hand, which he had picked up by chance when acquiring a large vase, costing just ten yuan.

Seeing it as not much, even after cleaning, it was still dirty. Initially, he thought of telling those who didn’t understand that it was a pendant from the late Qing to early Republic period. But seeing it was a kid, and for a dog, he was speechless.

"One hundred yuan. Since you’re a kid, I’ll give it to you for eighty."

He said casually.

Although Luo Qianqian’s clothes didn’t reveal what brand they were, it was obvious that the material was quite good, so he named a moderately high price.

Assuming she was an inexperienced kid, he casually tried to bluff.

Tang Tianyi was about to pay when he heard Luo Qianqian regretfully putting it down: "So expensive? I was only planning to spend twenty yuan on it..."

Saying so, she was about to get up.

Looking carefully at the stall, Luo Qianqian pouted: "Including that, I’ll take both for fifty." She casually pointed to a shiny bracelet.

The stall owner waved his hand: "That’s not possible. As for bracelets... this one, and this chain, sixty, and it’s yours." He said as he picked up a completely unclear, black bracelet that was so dirty it was unbearable to look at.

This was something he dug up from the countryside three years ago, seemingly something dropped during labor. It looked nothing special, but since it was free, he didn’t mind putting it on the stall.

Luo Qianqian looked at the pendant and then at the bracelet, reluctantly nodding before looking back: "Brother..."

Tang Tianyi took out his wallet and paid.

Luo Qianqian gathered her things and casually stuffed them into her pocket.

The stall owner, holding sixty yuan, looked at the three as they walked away and, after a while, could only sigh helplessly: "Such wastefulness..."

Here, although prices weren’t as exorbitant as in Capital City, fifty yuan could afford a night at their hotel with two meals included. Even a palm-sized Gambling Stone was only fifty yuan.

As they strolled casually, Luo Qianqian’s gaze suddenly fixed on a small stall. Her heart inexplicably started to race; the stall owner was a young guy, seemingly just arrived, about to set up his stall.

He took out a dark red velvet cloth from his backpack, shook it out neatly on the ground, then pulled forward the large box from behind him and opened it, carefully removing the heavily wrapped antiques from inside.

There were large bowls, vases, and exquisite wood carvings.

When he took out a round bowl, Luo Qianqian’s mouth slightly opened—she was sure that what Qin Nuan mentioned was it!

A white glazed large bowl with a bluish hue!

"Brother, I want this, Xiao Hei’s bowl broke." Luo Qianqian tugged at Tang Tianyi’s hand and approached the stall.

The young guy saw it was a kid and noticed her pointing at his bowl, slightly furrowing his brows: "Little sister, this isn’t cheap, don’t break it."

"Hmph, none of our bowls are cheap! Xiao Hei’s can’t be cheap either!" Her face showed a calm expression.

Tang Tianyi looked at Luo Qianqian with a helpless expression; her deliberately arrogant demeanor clearly indicated her determination to get that bowl.

"This costs three thousand yuan, little sister," the young guy smirked, "You better not..."

The next second, Tang Tianyi pulled out his wallet, paid, and slapped down thirty hundred-yuan bills, picked up the big bowl, and sighed: "This is the last time I buy something for Xiao Hei. See what Dad will say when he handles you?"

The trio walked further away, and the young guy stunnedly picked up the money, counted it twice, then carefully checked its authenticity.

"It’s real money..." He collapsed, sitting on the spot.
