Charles Wu hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes lit up as he turned to Fade Chen, and said to Caesar Tu, "Caesar, my level is just a seasoned hobbyist, not a real master! Speaking of masters, Fade is good at both medicine and martial arts, he would definitely be familiar with the thing. Why don't you let Fade go with you?"

"Yes! With Brother Fade's skills, he should have good eyes for inspection as well." Caesar Tu exclaimed with excitement. He looked at Fade Chen with pleading eyes and said, "Brother Fade, you must help me this time. Otherwise, I will be beaten to death by grandfather when I go home."

Fade Chen was speechless. But since he had just asked Caesar's help to replace the rare herbs, he didn't mind helping him on trivial matter.

So, Fade Chen said, "If you want my help, tell me what's the matter first."

"Brother Fade, it's like this..."

Caesar Tu told Fade Chen the whole story, and Fade Chen was quick to comprehend the whole event.

It turned out that Caesar Tu's grandfather, Mr. Tu shared the same hobby as Charles Wu. Both liked to collect old things, which were not limited to just antiques, but also things with legends and magical power. For example, a futon left behind by a Taoist monk, a jade pendant blessed by a master, the holy grail in the Vatican, and angel wings to name a few.

They believed that these things had miraculous powers and had the ability to maintain health and give protection, so they had been searching everywhere in the world. But of course, for so many years, most of the things they had found were antiques with no special effects, some were even fake. Fortunately, the two families were very wealthy, and money was not a problem for them, thus, their quests continued. This time, Mr. Tu heard news in Long City that someone had dug out an old item at Bay City. Rumour had it that this amazing item possessed special power for wound healing. Therefore, Mr. Tu immediately asked Caesar Tu to come to Long City in order to bid for this treasure.

Over the years, Mr. Tu had heard of many magical effects from items. But no one could guarantee the authenticity of the item, so he needed someone to help him identify it.

Caesar Tu came in a hurry this time, Master Qiao and others who had confirmed to help identify when they were in Long City, couldn't make it. So when Caesar Tu learned that Charles Wu was in Bay City, he came to ask Charles Wu for advice. Although Charles Wu's ability was not as good as the professional Master Qiao, but he would certainly be better than young Caesar Tu.

Now that Charles Wu had refused to do it, Fade Chen seemed like the ideal candidate.

Hearing that, Fade Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't expect for a well-known Chinese medicine doctor like Mr. Tu, and an outstanding entrepreneur like Charles Wu, would believe in these things even though Fade Chen knew that some things did have special effects.

However, these things were most certainly created by the top masters. If these things really did surface, it would be the fight amongst the masters, while ordinary people would not have the chance to even try their luck.

However, judging from their looks, it was probably not the time to persuade them to give up. The so-called treasure this time was likely to be fake as well. Fade Chen decided to help Caesar Tu in case he got scammed.

"Like this, I'll go with you!"

"Brother Fade, you've agreed. That's great!" Caesar Tu leaped with excitment, as if he could rush over to hug and kiss Fade Chen.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's go now and come back early," Fade Chen said.

"Yes, go early and come back early!" Caesar Tu cheered. Then, the three of them walked out of the bedroom together.

Outside the room, Mindy Wu and Quin Lin had been worried. Then they saw the three coming out smiling, contrary from earlier on when Caesar Tu and Fade Chen were quarreling. At this moment, they were chatting and laughing, as if they had been friends for many years.

For a moment, the two women looked at each other in confusion and shock.

Caesar Tu smirked, "Ms. Wu, President Lin, I was too arrogant and ignorant at the competition just now. I was wrong. Now, I am Brother Fade's avid follower."

Fade Chen also explained to Quin Lin about Caesar Tu's request for help.

Later, the two got into Caesar Tu's car and sped off.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a two-storey building. Caesar Tu and Fade Chen got off the car and walked inside.

There were two strong-looking young men guarding at the door and were looking at them warily. Caesar Tu made a phone call to confirm his identity. Then, the two young men immediately stepped aside to let them through the door.

When they entered the building, Fade Chen could see two rows of wooden chairs on both sides of the main hall at a glance. In front of them was a casual landscape painting that looked dated. Presently, most of the seats from the two rows were already occupied with people.

When Caesar Tu walked in, a man in a suit, who looked around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old on the left, suddenly beamed, "Three Needles Junior, you are here!"

Caesar Tu took a look at the man, with a look of surprise, he said, "Donny Liang, why are you here? Hey, if you call me Three Needles Junior again, I will reap your mouth to pieces!" Caesar Tu retaliated without hesitation.

"Caesar Tu, since you have been here, why can't I be here?" Donny Liang snorted, but he did not call him Three Needles Junior anymore.

Caesar Tu ushered Fade Chen to sit down before he sat down himself. Then, he turned to Fade and explained in a low voice.

"This fella's name is Donny Liang, from Long City. His grandfather is the president of Long City's antique association. He and my grandfather frequently compete with each other on antique, resulting in countless conflicts."

"This time the news came so quickly that it hasn't been spread around in Long City. I didn't expect Donny Liang to get the news too and see him here."

Fade Chen nodded and glanced over at Donny Liang. He studied the guy from top to bottom and found nothing special about him, just an arrogant chap from a rich family.

However, beside Donny Liang sat an old man in a Chinese Tang costume. His hair already turned silver and he had a white beard.

The old man's eyes were half-closed as he leaned against the chair impassively. He exuded the temperament of a master.

"This man is a formidable martial artist," Fade Chen made a quick judgment of this old man.

Then, he blinked at Caesar and asked, "Who's that?"

Only then Caesar Tu noticed the old man next to Donny Liang. He was slightly surprised but continued to explain, "I haven't seen him before, but I am guessing he is Donny Liang's temporary inspector. After all, we were all in a hurry to come here."

Donny Liang spotted Caesar Tu staring at the old man, he smirked. "Caesar Tu, what are you looking at? Are you jealous that I managed to get an inspector?"

"Oh, by the way, I didn't see your inspector with you when you came in?" Donny Liang deliberately provoked him. His eyes swept over Fade Chen, and then he pretended to be surprised and pronounced sheepishly, "Caesar Tu, don't tell me this kid is your inspector?"
