"Well, at least there's one more, right?"
"Yes, I saw it last time at the Magic City business meeting."
"Hey, Lin Brother, take a look at this piece of wood and see how good it is!" The Qi Family patriarch waved a piece of Thunderstruck Wood in front of Lin Old Master.
"You’re not asking me to look; you’re just showing off!" Lin Old Master didn't want to engage, pulling Yan Kongyue inside.
"Don't go! Let me show you!"
"I don't want to see it; it's just a piece of junk!"
"Junk? Old Lin, do you think this is junk? This is Thunderstruck Wood that my son spent several million on for me!"
Yan Kongyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That must be fake!" The Lin Family Patriarch noticed that Yan Kongyue seemed to have seen through something and tilted his head to ask her.
"Grandpa, that really is Thunderstruck Wood, but it's not the best quality!" Yan Kongyue whispered into the old man's ear, but her voice was loud enough for everyone in the reception room to hear.
Even Lin Lie, who was standing next to the old man, nearly burst out laughing.
"Yan Kongyue, this Thunderstruck Wood..." Before Lin Feng could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qi Old Man.
"I say, little girl, what do you know? This comes with a certificate."
"Alright, alright, I don’t know anything. Yours is real, an antique of the best quality—rare indeed!"
"Hmph, now that’s more like it!"
Yan Kongyue rolled her eyes; how could this old man not recognize flattery?
"Grandpa, how about I get you a cane to play with?"
"Uh, yes! Just right; my hands are a bit empty!" Lin Old Master quickly pulled out a gold coin from his pocket.
"Oh dear, granddaughter, this gold coin is a bit small!"
"Don't worry; I'll get you a bigger one!" Yan Kongyue shifted behind the old man and pulled out a sleek black cane from her bag.
"Here you go, Grandpa! It's made from Thousand-Year Thunderstruck Wood!"
"How much?" The old man seemed a bit hard of hearing and placed his hand behind his ear while asking.
"A thousand!" Yan Kongyue replied cheerfully; she was happy to make the old man smile.
"Ah, it's just a thousand!"
"Grandpa, if I remember correctly, that piece of Thunderstruck Wood is at least two thousand."
"Hmph, why wouldn't I believe it?" Qi Laotou tilted his head and shot a sideways glance at Lin Old Man's cane, almost straining his neck in the process.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, let me take a look at that!"
"Hey! My granddaughter just gave this to me; I haven't even warmed it up yet!" Lin Old Man chuckled as he admired the dark cane in his hands, feeling quite fond of it. How could he bear to show it to anyone else?
"Serves you right for showing off!" Fan Laotou jabbed a finger at Qi Laotou.
Lin Old Man leaned on his cane and took a few steps around the living room, grinning from ear to ear. "Ah, this cane is wonderful! Walking is so much easier now, hahaha!"
Qi Laotou had a particular fondness for old items, especially wooden ones. When Lin Old Man walked over to him, his eyes widened. He had seen pieces of Thunderstruck Wood before, and while a hundred-year-old one was already rare, he had never encountered one as well-preserved as this thousand-year-old specimen.
With his experience, he could confidently declare that the Thunderstruck Wood in Lin Old Man's hands was of the highest quality.
"Uh, girl, you—"
"No way! There's only this one in the whole world!" Yan Kongyue interrupted before he could finish.
"Hmph, even if there were more, I wouldn't give you one!" The Lin Family Patriarch spun around twice before settling back into his seat, feeling quite pleased with himself; after all, his precious granddaughter had brought him honor.
Just then, a loud voice called from outside: "Jia Jia is here!"
Following that, an old man with a beard wobbled into the room.
As soon as Yan Kongyue saw the old man, she snorted. The expression on his face screamed that his time was up. She quickly tugged at Lin Xiao's arm. "Third Brother, after we finish the Birthday Banquet, can we still have a big feast?"
Although Lin Xiao couldn't quite grasp what she meant at first, he quickly understood her implication and hurriedly covered her mouth. "Little ancestor, you can't be so loud! If he hears you, we might not get to eat at the Birthday Banquet!"
"Oh oh oh, exactly!"
Lin Xiao leaned closer to Yan Kongyue and whispered in her ear, "What did you see?"
