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 find 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.
