Chapter 1111 Longevity Lock

"Alright."

Pang Zilong's expression was indifferent.

After the glowing cup incident, his impression of this person was very poor, but since no one else was speaking, he couldn't let the appraisal convention go cold.

This time, Yuan Hang was very careful. He pulled out white gloves from his pocket, then took out a magnifying glass, and began to examine it meticulously.

After quite a while, he put away the white gloves and magnifying glass.

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

Pang Zilong asked.

"I found it, Da Shao, this is a good item." Yuan Hang swept away his previous dejection, and an excited expression appeared on his Face again, because he had already determined the origin of this longevity lock.

"Da Shao, I've read many records about this longevity lock. This is a treasure from the Ming Dynasty, commissioned by Emperor Guangzong of Ming, Zhu Changluo, for his third prince, Zhu Youji…"

Actually, Yuan Hang could have stopped there, but he didn't. He continued to speak voluminously, showcasing his talent and accomplishments in antiques.

After the third prince died, he was enfeoffed as King Qisi. There is Dragon Qi on his longevity lock. This is definitely a treasure. If someone wears it now, they will surely live a long life…"

Listening to him speak so eloquently, Pang Zilong's expression gradually relaxed a lot, clearly agreeing with this result.

However, he did not express an opinion, but looked at Ye Bufan: "Mr. Ye, what do you think? Is he right or wrong?"

At this, everyone's attention was drawn over, wondering if this king of the Hall of Fame would once again say something astonishing.

"He's right, this item is indeed from the Ming Dynasty, and it was indeed commissioned by Emperor Guangzong of Ming, Zhu Changluo, for his third prince…"

Seeing the other party agree with his point of view, Yuan Hang's Face showed a hint of triumph. He had, after all, regained his Face.

"Mr. Ye, can't you say something new? Is there any point in repeating what I've already said?"

"Want to hear a different opinion? Alright, I'll tell you now."

Ye Bufan smiled coldly. This guy insisted on looking for trouble, so he couldn't blame him.

"Although this item is a royal possession, and although it is called a longevity lock, it does not have a single bit of Dragon Qi. On the contrary, it is an ominous item.

If you wear it, misfortune will immediately cling to you, and your life will be short."

"You're talking nonsense! How is that possible?"

Hearing his final point of view questioned, Yuan Hang immediately became anxious.

"This was personally commissioned by Emperor Guangzong of Ming, Zhu Changluo, and was worn by the third prince. How could it be an ominous item? You are completely

spreading rumors and talking nonsense."

Everyone else also nodded in agreement, feeling that what Ye Bufan said this time was really unreliable. How could a royal item be an ominous item?

One must know that in ancient times, royal power was supreme. Which emperor didn't have Great Masters gathered around him? It was simply impossible to allow an ominous item to appear.

"Utterly ignorant," Ye Bufan said coldly. "This item was indeed fine when it was made, but what about later?

You only know that the longevity lock was made by Emperor Guangzong of Ming, Zhu Changluo, for the third prince. Then I ask you, how old was the third prince when he died?"

"This…"

Yuan Hang was immediately speechless and couldn't answer.

Although he had learned a lot of antique appraisal knowledge from his teacher, his scholarship was not that profound, and his understanding of Ming Dynasty history was extremely limited.

"I ask you again, how old was Emperor Guangzong of Ming, Zhu Changluo, when he died?"

Yuan Hang's Face immediately turned red: "We're talking about a longevity lock, what does it have to do with how long they lived?"

"Idiot, antique appraisal must, of course, be combined with history, so it is naturally related."

Ye Bufan said, "This longevity lock was indeed worn by the third prince, Zhu Youji, but he died young at only seven years old.

And Emperor Guangzong of Ming, Zhu Changluo, also known as the 'One-Month Emperor,' was full of ambition at the beginning of his reign, intending to bring great order to the world, but he died suddenly after one month.

When such a pair of father and son died suddenly one after another, their resentment soared to the heavens. Coupled with the continuous looting of their tombs after their deaths and their bones being exposed in the wilderness, their resentment grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly浓郁.

If you insist that there is Dragon Qi on this longevity lock, then it is a Resentful Dragon, a hundred or even a thousand times more powerful than ordinary Qi.

If anyone wears this longevity lock, they won't be far from death."

After he finished speaking, the entire hall was silent. Pang Zilong's expression became increasingly grim. This guy had previously wanted him to drink wine from a urinal, and now he wanted him to wear an ominous item. Was he really tired of living?

Feeling the anger in Pang Zilong's eyes, Yuan Hang quickly shouted: "This… this… this is impossible, Young Master, don't listen to his nonsense."

Turning his head, he frantically shouted again: "You say it's an ominous item, so it's an ominous item? What's your proof?"

"I don't need to prove it at all. I presume Da Shao knows better than I do." Ye Bufan's expression was calm, and he spoke articulately.

"I see a faint bloody light on this longevity lock. Its previous owner should have died not long ago, at most no more than three days."

At his words, everyone's gaze once again gathered on Pang Zilong, wanting to verify whether it was true or false.

Yuan Hang was even more nervous, hoping to deny Ye Bufan's statement.

(Chapter not finished, please turn page)

Unfortunately, reality was cruel and once again disappointed him.

"That's right. The previous owner of this longevity lock was a boss with assets over a hundred million. Due to successive business failures, he eventually jumped off a building to commit suicide, and he was wearing this longevity lock when he died.

After he died, his family took this item out for auction to pay off debts. I thought it was good and bought it casually, never expecting it to be an ominous item."

Pang Zilong shook his head repeatedly as he spoke. He had previously felt good about this longevity lock and hadn't connected that person's death with this item.

Now it seemed that the reason that person's business declined and why he eventually jumped off a building to commit suicide was entirely caused by this longevity lock.

What kind of longevity lock was this? It was simply a death warrant.

The people present were in an uproar, never expecting Ye Bufan to be right again. This item was indeed an ominous item.

Pang Zilong felt a chill of fear in his heart. This time, it was truly a close call. If he had worn this item, his fate would probably not have been much better.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yuan Hang with a cold gaze: "It's one thing to be incompetent, but at least control your mouth.

But you don't have Mr. Ye's ability, yet you insist on showing off. Can you bear the consequences?"

"I…"

Yuan Hang opened his mouth wide, wanting to argue, but the facts were right before him; there was no point in arguing.

At this moment, Wang Haitao, the manager of the professional appraisal center, stepped forward: "It seems our appraisal result for you was incorrect. With your level, you are simply not worthy of entering the Hall of Fame, nor do you deserve the appraisal result of an annual salary of 1.5 million.

I now announce the revocation of all previous appraisals by the professional appraisal center for you, your expulsion from the Hall of Fame, and your value assessed as zero."

"This… I…"

Yuan Hang never expected that his attempt to show off would ultimately lead to such a result.

Pang Zilong said coldly: "That's enough. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be here. Get out immediately.

I will inform the owner of Huayu Jewelry later to terminate your contract."

"Da Shao, I beg you, please don't…"

Yuan Hang was completely panicked now. If his contract with Huayu Jewelry was terminated, his livelihood would be completely ruined.

Most importantly, his professional appraisal result was canceled, and he would have no place to stand in the Magic City from now on.

Pang Zilong's Face was full of disgust, "Someone, throw him out for me."

Security guards from the club immediately rushed over, grabbed Yuan Hang, and dragged him out.

Zhu Ziyi also felt too ashamed to stay there and quickly ran out of the hall.
