Huang Youde could politely refuse Bai Jin, but he couldn't say no to the Xiao family!
In the Dragon Kingdom, a person with high official status would be killed.
Facing Bai Jin, Huang Youde was not inferior to him in terms of status, but with the Xiao family's status in the Magic City, let alone the Minister of Proclamation, even the city leader had to give him face.
Just because Xiao Zhan of the Xiao family holds an important position in the Dragon Kingdom's military.
And it is said that he is in the extremely mysterious Dark Guard Alliance.
The leader of the Dark Guard Alliance has a special status. Along with the envoys, he is the most powerful figure under the patron saint of the Dragon Kingdom.
And compared with the military, the mission of the Secret Guard Alliance is more covert and complex. It is not only an important force to defend against external enemies, but also has the responsibility of monitoring the law and discipline of the Dragon Kingdom.
Overall, as long as the words "Dark Guard Alliance" are heard, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom will feel an invisible pressure.
The Dark Guard Alliance is a separate organization, directly responsible to the patron saint Dongfang Mo.
The leader of the alliance has four great protectors, each of whom is at the peak of the golden elixir and is extremely powerful.
Under the four major guardians, there are eight regional secret guard branches.
The cultivation levels of the branch leaders are all in the Golden Core stage, and some veteran leaders can even reach the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, on the same level as senior generals.
Xiao Zhan of the Xiao family is one of the heads of the eight secret guard divisions. He is a powerful figure with the power of life and death!
It is precisely because of this relationship that the Xiao family has a special status in the Magic City, and any powerful person must give them face when they meet.
It is said that Xiao Zhan loves his sister Xiao Qianmo very much. The two grew up together and have a very good relationship.
Later, Xiao Zhan became a warrior under the mysterious man's sect, and the entire Xiao family was able to ascend to heaven, and the status of Xiao Qianmo's daughter and eldest daughter was further highlighted.
"Old Bai, come over in the afternoon. I'll finish my work in the morning and I'm waiting for you."
Unable to shirk, Huang Youde could only postpone the time until the afternoon.
"No problem, let's see you in the afternoon, Lao Huang."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Youde frowned, because everyone on the road knew about Xiao Qianmo's arrival and Sima Zhao's intentions.
. . .
In the blink of an eye, it’s afternoon.
Chen Fan left the Huang family and went to the art museum again.
For some reason, he always had a strange feeling there, including Xiao Feng'er.
So, Chen Fan decided to go to the art museum to have a good look around. He hadn't had time to appreciate the painting exhibition the day before.
In the Huang family courtyard, a black luxury car slowly drove in.
Three people got out of the car, apart from the driver, the other two were a man and a woman.
The man is Bai Jin who called Huang Youde in the morning.
The woman is about 27 or 28 years old. She is dressed in a noble manner. She is very conspicuous wearing a sun hat and pink-rimmed sunglasses.
Wearing a pair of sky-high high heels and carrying a small luxury bag, she looked full of aura.
"Old Bai, this should be Qian Mo, right? Haha~"
As soon as he got off the car, Huang Youde walked up and greeted him warmly.
"Old Huang has such a good eye. This beautiful lady is Xiao Qianmo, the rising star in the calligraphy and painting world in Shanghai, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.
Qian Mo, this is Uncle Huang~"
Bai Jin introduced politely.
"Uncle Huang~"
Xiao Qianmo shouted lightly.
"Hello Qianmo, please come in~"
With that said, several people came to the living room.
"Qian Mo, what are you drinking, tea or coffee?"
Huang Youde asked politely.
"Let's have a latte~"
Xiao Qianmo still cherishes words like gold.
After sitting down, Bai Jin did not directly ask about [Ming Yue Songjian Zhao], but asked about Huang Shang's situation.
On the way here, Xiao Qianmo told Bai Jin about Huang Shang.
As Huang Shang's associate professor, Xiao Qianmo is naturally familiar with the school beauties of the School of Art.
"Shang'er's condition has improved. If nothing happens, she will be able to return to school in a while."
Huang Youde replied with a smile.
“Then congratulations to you, Old Huang.
Chang'er has always been a fan of Master Fanchen. I heard that physical discomfort is also related to Master Fanchen.
The improvement this time must be due to seeing Master Fanchen's new works and feeling better, right? "
The old and cunning Bai Jin brought up the matter of "Mingyue Songjian Zhao" very simply in a tone of concern for Huang Shang.
"Hmm~ Chang'er is just lucky enough. She watched Master Fanchen's new work [Mingyue and Songjianzhu] yesterday, and it really worked wonders.
The little girl said that she seemed to feel a magical power pouring into her body. She suddenly felt refreshed and her pain was mostly relieved. "
Huang Youde replied with a smile.
"Oh? I didn't expect Master Fanchen's new work to have this effect.
To be honest, Lao Huang, we are here today. I believe you can guess a thing or two, right?
Qian Mo is also a die-hard fan of Master Fanchen. He heard that Master Fanchen has released a new work and hopes to take a look at it. "
Bai Jin was chatting beside him, while Xiao Qianmo was doing nothing, drinking coffee and looking around.
"Of course it's okay if Qian Mo wants to see it, we're ready~"
Huang Youde stood up with a smile and took the scroll from the table nearby.
Seeing this, Bai Jin glanced at Xiao Qianmo, stood up and helped Huang Youde open the scroll.
As the scroll slowly unfolded, Xiao Qianmo's eyes were also attracted.
I saw her put down her coffee, stretched out her slender jade fingers to touch the scroll, and looked at it carefully.
"Look, Qian Mo, this painting is indeed an improved version of [Mingyue Photo among Pines]. The lines and colors are more refined. There is no doubt that it is authentic~"
Bai Jin sighed and commented.
Xiao Qianmo nodded sternly.
"Old Huang, when you were at the exhibition before, you took out this new painting after you left. Who gave it to you?"
Bai Jin asked deliberately.
"The superior arranged for someone to send it here. What's wrong, Lao Bai?"
"As far as I know, uncle has not been notified by any party~"
Xiao Qianmo on the side suddenly said something.
Huang Youde was speechless when he heard Xiao Qianmo's words. He could deceive Bai Jin, but he couldn't hide it from Xiao Qianmo.
Because Xiao Zhan only needs a phone call to find out the truth of the matter.
"Um~haha, Qian Mo is still well-informed.
That's right, this painting was given to Huang by a friend for temporary storage. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had no choice but to take this step. "
Huang Youde admitted with a smile.
"Oh? Your friend is that young man, right?
The other party hands you the painting and then asks you to display it again? "
Bai Jin continued to ask.
"Yes, it seems nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
"As expected, Lao Huang, you are so uninteresting.
I brought the painting home, but I made a fool of myself in public at the art exhibition. "
Bai Jin pointed at Huang Youde pretending to be angry.
"Haha, I can't help it, it's that young man's request."
Huang Youde replied apologetically.
"By the way, where is that young man? When we came out of the art exhibition, I saw him getting in the car with you."
Bai Jin asked with a smile.
"left already."
"What about this painting?~"
Bai Jin pointed and asked.
"It's temporarily stored in my house and still needs to be returned."
Huang Youde replied.
"Uncle, I want to buy this painting Qianmo, is that okay?"
Xiao Qianmo on the side suddenly interrupted again.
"Oh, Qian Mo, you have made things difficult for uncle. The young man specially told me that I must keep the painting and come and pick it up when I have time."
Huang Youde replied in embarrassment.
"Then how could a person have the works of Master Fanchen? Could they have been stolen?"
Xiao Qianmo took a sip of coffee and said calmly.
"Probably not. Since the young man dares to show it in public, it means there is no problem with the origin of the painting."
"My brother said that several important cultural relics have been lost in Long Kingdom recently, and he is paying attention to this matter.
It seems like this painting needs to be examined carefully~”
Xiao Qianmo said lightly.
Threat, really a threat from Chi Guoguo!
