Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

"Nianbing! It's really a coincidence for us two to meet here! You're actually here too?"

The voice came from behind, and a man who looked fairly decent approached from behind, his face lighting up with excitement upon seeing Xia Nianbing.

Xia Nianbing sighed and displayed a perfunctory smile.

"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Wang from the Wang Family."

Then, turning toward Yin Tian, Xia Nianbing spoke, "This is my boyfriend."

Yin Tian lifted his head subconsciously but saw Xia Nianbing winking at him.

She was clearly asking for his help.

Mr. Wang's expression changed instantly, "Nianbing, don't joke with me, how come I didn't know you had a boyfriend?"

Xia Nianbing replied, "Well, now you know, don't you?"

Glancing at Yin Tian, Mr. Wang shook his head, "Nianbing, he looks more like your driver to me; how could he be your boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Tian immediately grinned.

He was just wearing a black tracksuit and not dressed in formal attire; how did he look like a driver?

Not only Yin Tian, but Xia Nianbing's expression also turned sour.

"Wang Dong, you've gone too far!"

Having said that, she took Yin Tian and walked away toward the distance.

"This Mr. Wang from the Wang Family deals in antiques. He's been trying to woo me and is incredibly annoying on normal days..." Xia Nianbing turned her head to explain to Yin Tian.

Yin Tian chuckled, "Best to ignore people like him."

"To make it up to you, I'll get you an antique. Pick anything you like here!" Xia Nianbing's eyes curved into crescents as she spoke to Yin Tian.

The two chatted and laughed, arriving at a stall.

Yin Tian's gaze was initially sweeping past, but it fixed on a black wooden case, and he was suddenly taken aback.

The reason was that from this case, he smelled a fragrance of medicine.

"Boss, show me that case."

Yin Tian spoke up.

The stall owner quickly picked up the case and handed it to Yin Tian, then bragged, "Big brother, you've got a keen eye there, this case is from the Qing dynasty imperial pharmacy. It was handed down by my ancestors."

Yin Tian looked up at the stall owner but did not speak.

"How much?" Yin Tian asked.

The owner's eyes darted around, "Thirty thousand yuan!"

Yin Tian curled his lip, "Five thousand yuan, and I'll take it straight away."

The owner's face winced in pain, "Alright, five thousand it is then."

Xia Nianbing didn't wait for Yin Tian to say anything; she stepped forward and transferred five thousand yuan to the owner.

Following them, Wang Dong jeered, "With that one move, the owner just made an agonizing sale of four thousand nine hundred and ninety-five yuan to you."

Yin Tian turned around, glanced at Wang Dong, and then pointed at Xia Nianbing, "She spent her money on me."

Wang Dong: "..."

"But you can't just squander money recklessly like that."

Xia Nianbing smiled slightly on the side, "I just like spending money on him."

Wang Dong felt like he was being dealt with thousands of critical hits.

It was painfully suffocating.

Shaking the case in hand, Yin Tian remarked, "This case is definitely not from the Qing dynasty, but it should be from the Republic era."

"But the real value isn't the case itself."

As he spoke, Yin Tian opened the wooden case.

"I bought this medicine box not just because but because I smelled a scent of medicine."

Xia Nianbing looked up and indeed saw a pill at the bottom of the case.

The sealed wax on the pill was intact, and the paper attached read "Angong Niuhuang Pill."

Yin Tian smiled, "Ever since the state banned rhino horn from medicinal use, Tongren Hall's Angong Niuhuang Pills lost their previous miraculous effects."

"This one must be from before 1965; it still contains rhino horn. This single pill could be worth around one hundred and ten thousand yuan."

"How is that possible..." Wang Dong frowned from the side.

"Pien Tze Huang, Qu Huanzhang Bai Bao Pill, and Yunnan Baiyao, as well as this Angong Niuhuang Pill, are all national secret formulas. Especially the Angong Niuhuang Pill, which is even touted as a life-saving pill."

"Now that rhino horn is even scarcer in medicine, it's impossible to find, so how is it not possible?"

Yin Tian added from the side.

Wang Dong was dumbfounded by then.

He had thought Yin Tian was the big sucker, but it turned out that he was the one being played.

Yin Tian then tossed the Angong Niuhuang Pill to Xia Nianbing, "Take this back and have your grandpa take it; it should definitely make him better."

Xia Nianbing's eyes were already sparkling with stars.

Yin Tian always managed to surprise her.

Wang Dong felt like he'd just been slapped across the face for no reason, stifled and uncomfortable.

The two continued on their way, with Wang Dong trailing behind them, his face the color of liver.

Just as they passed another stall, Yin Tian stopped.

He squatted down, picked up a wooden box, and shook it, his eyes lighting up with delight.

Xia Nianbing's eyes also brightened, "Does this one also contain an Angong Niuhuang Pill?"

Yin Tian smiled, about to explain, when he saw Wang Dong quickly approach.

Looking at the case in Yin Tian's hands, he loudly said to the stall owner.

"Boss, how much for this piece? I'll take it!"
