After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Tiger Master was flattered and immediately snapped her fingers to summon a nearby server.

"Go and fetch our specially made medicinal pills, and give one to Mr. Chen."

The server hesitated, giving Tiger Master an uncertain look.

"What are you dawdling for, hurry up and go."

With a scolding from Tiger Master, the server dashed out the door.

Before long, he placed an exquisitely crafted box on the table, with a rich fragrance immediately spreading through the air.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and then opened the box.

A transparent and shiny little pill lay quietly inside.

The system immediately provided an analysis, listing all the medicinal ingredients within the pill.

A look of surprise appeared in Chen Yu's eyes. The pill was very mild in nature, and it had many benefits, even capable of treating many chronic diseases.

If this were released to the public and patented, who knows how much money it could earn.

"Tiger Master, I really shouldn't accept such a precious thing."

Tiger Master covered her mouth and chuckled, "We're acquainted now, so let's not keep calling me Tiger Master. My name is Qin Mingxue!"

Chen Yu adjusted his brows, not expecting that a woman with such a domineering nickname would have such a delicate name.

"Then I'll call you Miss Qin!"

As they spoke, a woman in her twenties rushed in, flustered.

"Tiger Master, there's trouble. Those guys have come over again, and this time it seems they've brought porcelain!"

Qin Mingxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stood up abruptly.

"These guys are too much, once or twice is fine, but this is endless! Do they really think I'm a soft tomato to squash? Get those freeloaders up for me, we're going over together."

Chen Yu leaned back, his expression unchanging regardless of what was happening – it was an internal affair of others and had nothing to do with him.

"I have some matters to attend to here, please wait here a moment."

Having said this politely, Qin Mingxue turned and left.

Chen Yu sighed quietly, "Fine, I might as well go with Miss Qin. Staying here by myself is too boring."

Without saying much more, Qin Mingxue led Chen Yu to a plaza in the trading market.

Although underground, the space was vast.

The plaza was already filled with people, with private conversations rising and falling, creating a noisy environment.

"How come the Fang Family has come again? Didn't Tiger Master already make concessions last time?"

"That guy's influence is much greater than Tiger Master's; can't he come whenever he wants without giving advance notice?"

"After all, Tiger Master is just a weak woman; she can only shrink in these underground spaces, how can she compete with them?"

"The Fang Family is one of the top families in Jiang Province; an underground force like Tiger Master's is just a reptile in their eyes."

...

Chen Yu also paused when he heard these remarks.

It was already not easy for a woman to manage an underground trading market of such scale, and yet these people were still gossiping about her behind her back.

Especially Fang Zhanbo, who sat in the middle of the plaza.

The guy seemed only in his twenties or thirties, but he had an air of an old snob about him.

He was decked in bead necklaces and fiddled with a health ball in his hand.

But his sleazy appearance was off-putting.

As soon as Qin Mingxue arrived, Fang Zhanbo stood up like a fawning dog.

"Ah, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for such a long time! This time let's do the bottle dismantling challenge. If your side wins, I won't come here anymore. But if I win, you have to marry me."

As soon as these words were said, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

Fang Zhanbo had been here more than once, and every time it was the same condition.

Although in the end Qin Mingxue always won, this guy just wouldn't accept it, and after a few days, he would shamelessly show up again.

Looking at the people he brought this time, you could tell he had come fully prepared.

Qin Mingxue, with a face full of helplessness, pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Fang Zhanbo, although this place is within Jiang Province's borders, it's not under the Fang Family's domain! If you continue with such an aggressive attitude, don't blame me for not being polite."

Fang Zhanbo let out a large laugh: "That's great, I was hoping you'd be impolite to me."

The brazenness in his words was so apparent that even Chen Yu felt a bit disgusted.

Qin Mingxue didn't say much else and simply picked a vase and placed it in the center.

The contest between the two sides was also straightforward, each sending a representative to appraise items.

The method of appraisal, however, was quite special; all items were completely wrapped up, allowing only the shape to be used for appraisal.

At first glance, the vase in front of them appeared to be a shape of a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, but judging by the relief pattern on the wrapping paper, it didn't seem like Yuan Dynasty blue and white.

"Boss Hu, if I'm not wrong, this should be a Yuan Dynasty..."

"Hold on!" Chen Yu suddenly stood up, interrupting the Appraiser.

"I'll take Boss Hu's place in today's contest!"

The room went silent for a moment, followed by an outburst of laughter.

"This young guy looks only to be in his twenties, how can he compare with those appraisers in their sixties or seventies?"

"Did he learn how to appraise from inside his mother's womb?"

"Such an ignorant kid, doesn't he realize what a contest between Boss Hu and Young Master Fang signifies?"

...

All eyes had already turned to Chen Yu, and many of them held a hint of pity.

It was as if Chen Yu was going to die after this competition.

Without waiting for the crowd's reaction, Chen Yu already walked up to the vase and gently touched the wrapping paper.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a 'Four Dragons Playing with a Pearl' vase from the Ming Dynasty's Jingtai era!" Find adventures at empire

At these words, Fang Zhanbo was instantly stunned.

He had brought these vases and had naturally seen them before wrapping.

Being able to identify them as Yuan Dynasty blue and white would already qualify someone as a pretty good appraising master under these conditions.

But Chen Yu was able to accurately name it and pinpoint the era of its creation.

Qin Mingxue was also frozen for a moment; she herself was a decent appraiser and knew how difficult it was to make such a judgment in this situation.

She quickly stepped forward and tugged at Chen Yu's clothes.

"Young man, you can't just say things carelessly!"

Chen Yu just smiled and directly tore off the vase's wrapping paper.

Indeed it was a 'Four Dragons Playing with a Pearl' vase, and judging by the color and marks, it was indeed made in the third year of the Jingtai era.

Qin Mingxue held her breath, eyes filled with disbelief.

Although she had always won the previous competitions, it had never been as easy as today.

Fang Zhanbo clapped his hands and slowly stood up.

"Young man, you are quite impressive. May I know your esteemed name?"
