Chapter 32: Ancient Questioning Heaven

ed to invite him to dinner. Those who could dine with him were all powerful figures.Now he took the initiative to ask Chen Ping out for a meal, but unexpectedly, Chen Ping refused. This was a bit surp..."Scarface, get everyone out of here. What's the point in watching this"

Lin Tianhu said to the Scarface.

"Get out! All of you, get out! There's nothing to see here. From now on, whoever dares to strong-arm a sale, this is what happens!"

Scarface roared at the crowd, scaring everyone away!

"Mr. Chen, I wonder what kind of things you like There's not much good stuff here, just some cheap trinkets. The real treasures are inside!"

Lin Tianhu said to Chen Ping.

I want to buy a magic brush and vermilion ink, I wonder if they have them here!

Chen Ping asked Lin Tianhu.

Lin Tianhu was taken aback and didn't understand what Chen Ping meant by the spiritual brush, nor did he understand why cinnabar was so special since it was everywhere.

But Lin Tianhu didn't dare to ask, he could only respectfully say: "Mr. Chen, I'll take you to a few antique shops to walk around and see if there's anything you want. I don't really understand this line either!"

"Okay, lead the way!"

Chen Ping nodded!

Lin Tianhu personally led the way, and the bosses of the antique shops all brought out their most prized possessions, but none caught Chen Ping's eye.

"Now, Lin Tianhu was a bit embarrassed: "Mr. Chen, the antique street isn't that big, all the good things and opportunities are here. It's strange that Mr. Chen hasn't found what he needs. How about I have my men look for it in other places"

"No need for that, this kind of thing is rare and hard to come by. Even if I let you encounter it, you wouldn't understand it anyway!"

Chen Ping waved his hand, saying even if he sent more people to look, it would be useless!

"Well, then!"

Lin Tianhu nodded!

"Go ahead and get busy. I should be getting back now!"

Since there wasn't anything, Chen Ping didn't want to stay any longer!

Just as Chen Ping was about to leave, Lin Tianhu seemed to remember something and immediately called out to Chen Ping, "Mr. Chen, wait a moment!"

"Anything else" Chen Ping asked.

Mr. Chen, I suddenly remembered a place where you might find what you need.

Lin Tianhu finished speaking and ordered someone to bring the car. He invited Chen Ping into the car!

On the car ride, Lin Tianhu introduced himself. He told Chen Ping that they were going to a courtyard and its owner was Gu Wentian, a former high-ranking official from the provincial government!

After he retired, Gu Wentian built a villa in a beautiful scenic spot in Hongcheng and spent his remaining years there peacefully.

But this Gu Wentian has a hobby, that is collecting antiques. In Gu Wentian's courtyard, there are antiques everywhere, some of which are brought back from abroad. Compared to Gu Wentian's mansion, the antique street is really not on the same level!

Chen Ping didn't expect that there would be such a big figure living a peaceful retirement life in the small city of Hongcheng. If it weren't for following Lao Longtou and learning his skills for three years, ordinary Chen Ping wouldn't have had the chance to meet these important people.

Soon, the car stopped at an ancient and elegant manor. A servant rushed over, whispered a few words to Lin Tianhu, then ran back into the manor!

Soon, an elderly man with white hair and a cane walked out. Seeing Lin Tianhu, the old man laughed heartily: "Tiger Lord, it's really an honor to have you here!"

"Oldtimer, you're putting me on! Just call me Little Tiger, or Lin Tianhu. In front of you, I wouldn't dare to call myself Master!"

Lin Tianhu hurriedly stepped forward two steps to greet him, and said with a fawning smile.

Provincial officials, even after they retire, still hold considerable influence. Therefore, Lin Tianhu wouldn't dare to offend him!

After chatting with Lin Tianhu for a few pleasantries, Gu Wentan saw Chen Ping standing beside him. He took a look at Chen Ping and asked, “Tiger Lord, this young man seems unfamiliar. Is he…”

"Oh, this is Mr. Chen. I specially brought Mr. Chen here to disturb Lao Gu, hoping Lao Gu won't mind!"

Lin Tianhu hastily explained.

Hearing Lin Tianhu addressing the twenty-something Chen Ping as "Mr.," Gu Wentian's eyes flashed with surprise, but it vanished in an instant!ted him as the leader of the martial alliance was simply because they could benefit from it. Now that Chen Ping is being hunted and his own life is in danger, there's no need for them to continue supp...
