Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Of course, let's not dwell on the profound implications of Tang Guorong's words for now. Just by looking at the fake smile on Tang Guorong's face at this moment, Zhu Bufan could tell that his approach was hardly well-intentioned!

As for whether Master Appraiser Tang Guorong harbors good intentions towards him, Zhu Bufan is not afraid.

What puzzles Zhu Bufan, though, is why he would have any animosity with Tang Guorong, as they did not seem to have any grudges. So why the hostility towards him?

Therefore, when Zhu Bufan saw Tang Guorong coming over, he didn't immediately respond to his words but instead slightly furrowed his brows.

"Ha ha, Divine Doctor, here's the thing, just now I saw you buying a Jade Pendant from that small stall over there. It seemed like you paid quite a bit for it. However, it appears to me that the Jade Pendant may not be worth much. So, if you don't mind, Divine Doctor, why not take it out now? I, this old man, can give you a free appraisal. What do you say, Divine Doctor?"

Seeing that Zhu Bufan hadn't immediately responded, Tang Guorong grew even more angered inside.

He's just a young man who knows a bit of medicine. How can he be so aloof?

"Ha ha, Master Tang, you must be joking. That Jade Pendant was just for fun, so I'm not concerned whether it's real or not!"

Hearing Tang Guorong speak again, Zhu Bufan knew that this was Tang Guorong's intention to make him embarrass himself in front of everyone!

Since you want me to be embarrassed in front of others, how could I, Zhu Bufan, agree to that?

Do you think I'm a fool?

Besides, when Zhu Bufan initially purchased the Jade Pendant, it was really just an indirect way of buying something else.

At the time, what Zhu Bufan was actually interested in were not the Jade Pendant but a few stones displayed on the stall.

Though those stones looked very ordinary, Zhu Bufan discovered that they were surrounded by a trace of ancient Qi, leading him to believe that these were no ordinary stones.

And so, Zhu Bufan wanted to buy them.

Since he was set on buying these stones, why didn't Zhu Bufan do so directly, instead of buying the Jade Pendant?

That's because Zhu Bufan was worried that if he directly bought the stones, the stall owner would hike up the price, which is why he used a roundabout way to purchase them!

So, how could Zhu Bufan not know that the Jade Pendant he bought was not valuable?

"Divine Doctor, just show it to this old man! After all, you are the Divine Doctor, and I don't want to see you getting cheated. It's not too late if you take it out now. If I appraise it as a fake, then we can immediately go to the stall owner who sold it to you. With my reputation on Antique Street, any stall owner would surely refund you straight away. This way, Divine Doctor, wouldn't you suffer no loss?" Seeing that Zhu Bufan had no intention of showing the Jade Pendant, Tang Guorong persisted, and the next moment, he once again urged him.

Hearing Tang Guorong's words, a cold smile immediately appeared on Zhu Bufan's face. Even if you were truly being kind, I, Zhu Bufan, would still not take it out.

What a joke. Once I take it out, wouldn't I have to give back the stones I indirectly bought as well?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Would I really give back something I worked hard to obtain?

Are you kidding me?

At this time, maybe because the people around wanted to curry favor with Zhu Bufan, they all immediately started to eagerly suggest Zhu Bufan show the Jade Pendant to Tang Guorong, claiming that as a Master, he surely could help Zhu Bufan.

Hearing the praises from the people around him, Tang Guorong's face revealed a look of enjoyment and pride.

"Well, Master Tang, I appreciate your kindness, but really, there's no need. I have a principle: if I fancy something, even if it is fake, I will still buy it. So, I really don't care whether it's an antique or not. Sorry about that, Master Tang!" Zhu Bufan replied respectfully.

You say you are a Master, so I'm not giving you the opportunity to appraise—what are you going to do about it?

Zhu Bufan's words may have held no particular intention, but to the listeners, it sounded as if the Master Appraiser himself wanted to show off his appraisal skills so desperately that he was deliberately making it difficult for others.

Thus, immediately, there was a burst of lively discussion among the people around.

Hearing this vigorous debate, Tang Guorong's mouth twitched uncontrollably for a moment.

The next moment, Tang Guorong could no longer keep up the act, so he straightforwardly said:

"What? Divine Doctor, are you doubting my appraisal skills?"

"Ha ha, Master Tang, you're joking. How could a junior like me doubt your appraisal skills? However, regarding appraising, I am not skilled, so I'd like to challenge you, Master Tang!"

"What? Did I hear that right? The Divine Doctor, he, he said he wants to challenge Master Tang?"

What's going on? The Divine Doctor is actually saying he wants to challenge Master Tang Guorong? Damn, isn't this crazy?

With that one statement from Zhu Bufan, the entire place erupted into discussion.

At this time, Tang Guorong looked at Zhu Bufan in surprise.

He truly did not expect Zhu Bufan to challenge him!

But a moment later, he became pleased. Initially, I've been looking for a chance to humiliate you in front of everyone, and I couldn't find one for so long. Now, you've delivered yourself to me. Since that's the case, how could I, Tang Guorong, not accept your challenge?

So, the very next moment, Tang Guorong immediately responded:

"Alright! Let this old man see if you, the Divine Doctor, are not only skilled in medicine but also in appraising!"
