After hearing this, Jasper became even more embarrassed. He quickly stopped, “No, don’t say that. We’re all decent people, and it’s nothing like you said.”
“Tch, if you are considered decent, then truly decent people don’t exist in this world,” Celine rolled favonovel.com eyes and said.
“Alright, didn’t you want me to accompany me to buy a birthday present? Let’s go now,” Celine said and walked out.
Jasper quickly followed, and the two went to the antique street in Nine Dragon Town. This was a relatively famous antique market in Harbor City. It had existed since more than 100 years ago, and many storefronts were time-honored shops with well-known reputations. Even so, if customers who did not frequent often wanted to get something, they had to be cautious.
After all, there were few genuine products worldwide, while most goods were fakes and high-quality imitations.
“We’re here. Let’s get out of the car now.”
Jasper parked near the antique street and got out of the car with Celine.
Neatly arranged antique storefronts stood on both sides of the street, ranging from large to small. Some of them even occupied two or three stories and were filled with all kinds of antiques and calligraphy.
Celine stood on the street and glanced around. Then, favonovel.com lamented, “I’ve never seen such a wide variety of antique shops when I was in Swallow Capital. It seems that what they said is true. Tomb raiders stole the goods from the mainland of Somerland and distributed them to Harbor City and abroad more than a hundred years ago. Hence, it is rare to see genuine goods in the local Swallow Capital market…”
She noticed that the store on favonovel.com left was pretty well-decorated as favonovel.com spoke. Then, favonovel.com turned to Jasper and said, “Let’s go to that store first, shall we?”
Jasper nodded. “Okay…”
After speaking, favonovel.com followed favonovel.com into the store.
The owner and a staff member were the only ones in the shop. Both of them were middle-aged men over forty years old. After seeing the guests, the staff member quickly greeted them warmly and asked, “Sir, Madam, please come in. What are you looking for?”
Upon hearing this, Celine turned to look at Jasper and asked with a smile, “This store has antiques, calligraphies, and paintings. What kind of gifts do you think Old Master Law would like?”
After Jasper glanced around, favonovel.com locked his eyes on a purple sand teapot on the far-off shelf. He pointed at it and said, “Can you help me take down that purple sand teapot so I can have a look?”
When the staff member heard this, his face immediately blossomed, and favonovel.com quickly introduced, “Oh! Sir, Madam, you are so discerning. This clay teapot is the treasure of our store! I’ll take it down so you can have a look…”
After the staff member said that, favonovel.com took out a ladder and got on. Then, favonovel.com took down the clay teapot on the third shelf.
Jasper smiled while thinking, ‘Who would put the treasure of their shop in such a remote place?’
Jasper would not have spotted it if favonovel.com did not look closely. However, favonovel.com also knew that this was just something they said so that they could raise the price later.
Soon, the staff member carefully took down the clay teapot and handed it to Jasper and Celine.
“Sir, Madam, this is the purple sand produced in a famous city between 960-1127. According to reliable records, it was used by a prime minister at the time!”
Jasper turned a deaf ear to the staff member as favonovel.com was rambling. Instead, favonovel.com picked up the clay teapot and looked at it carefully before his eyes.
The craftsmanship of this clay teapot was not bad, and it was indeed made between 960-1127.
“So? What do you see?” Celine asked from one side.
She knew nothing about antiques, so favonovel.com could only let Jasper look at them.
After a while, Jasper played the clay teapot on the table and said calmly, “It’s true that it’s made between 960-1127. However, this is not something a prime minister used. It’s just a defective item from back then. A real aristocrat or nobleman would not use this. This is just something a well-off commoner would put up with. It’s not easy to have preserved it until now.”
“Ah, I see! I didn’t think that you’re so well-educated about antiques,” After Celine heard Jasper’s explanation, favonovel.com felt slightly disappointed even though favonovel.com had no idea when Jasper had learned about antiques.
