Feng Xiyan shook Li Qin’s hand, then responded, "The honor is mine. I heard from Yun’er that you have helped her a lot in the past. I didn’t bring anything valuable with me today, so I can only offer this small gift as a meeting gift."

After saying that, Feng Xiyan reached toward a paper bag placed on the floor beside him and took out a small wooden box. Pushing the small wooden box toward Li Qin, he waited in silence.

Looking at the small wooden box, Li Qin’s heart skipped a beat.

’This box... It looks similar to the ones Miss Bai sold to Old Yu before.’

Reaching for the small box with trembling hands, Li Qin slowly opened it. When he saw the jade thumb ring resting on the red silk cloth inside, he quickly raised his head.

Looking at Feng Xiyan, he said, "Young Master Feng, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it."

Feng Xiyan raised his hand and interrupted Li Qin. "Master Li, this is just a small gift. It’s not worth much. Please accept it with peace of mind."

As the Great General of the Feng Army, Feng Xiyan’s commanding aura was unmatched in the Central Continent.

Being stared at by him, Li Qin felt a heavy pressure and had no choice but to accept the jade thumb ring.

Closing the small wooden box, he said, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you and will accept the gift. Thank you, Young Master Feng."

Feng Xiyan nodded, and Li Qin couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Looking at the small wooden box on the low table, he thought with a hint of fear in his heart, ’Heaven, how wealthy is this Young Master Feng? He actually said that this priceless treasure is only a small gift.’

Not knowing that Feng Xiyan’s small gift had almost scared Li Qin to death, Bai Hanyun gestured for Feng Xiyan to take out the items inside the paper bag.

She then turned to Li Qin and said, "Master Li, I came here today to sell some antiques. I hope you can help me appraise their value."

Hearing this, Li Qin came out of his thoughts and calmly replied, "Miss Bai’s antiques must be treasures. I can’t wait to see them."

With that, he put on his white gloves and began carefully appraising the antiques one by one.

Half an hour later, Li Qin put down his magnifying glass and looked at Bai Hanyun.

"Miss Bai, these bronze cups, plates, bowls, and these two sets of gold hair accessories are genuine. The last time you sold the bronze plate to us, many customers asked for another bronze antique, which drove the price higher."

"Although the more antiques circulate in the market, the lower the price becomes, your antiques are highly sought after by many people. Therefore, the price should be at least the same as, or even higher than, the bronze plate you sold to us before."

Listening to this, Bai Hanyun nodded in understanding and asked, "Master Li, will the Gu Bao Antique Store buy these antiques?"

Li Qin pondered for a moment and replied, "We don’t have that much money on hand right now. If you are not in a hurry, I can help you put them up for auction. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun leaned closer to Feng Xiyan and whispered, "Xiyan, the auction will take at least half a month to prepare. Do you need the construction materials and street lamps as soon as possible?"

Feng Xiyan lowered his head and whispered back, "Yun’er, do you remember that General Tan said they were going to build the new imperial palace?"

Bai Hanyun nodded, and Feng Xiyan continued, "Since Xiqiang City’s construction project is still ongoing and the generals are planning to build the imperial palace, I estimate that the materials won’t last long."

Thinking that it would take time for Mu Yingzuo to prepare her order later, Bai Hanyun nodded. "I understand."

After a brief discussion with Feng Xiyan, Bai Hanyun looked at Li Qin and asked, "Master Li, how long will it take for the next auction?"

"The next auction should be held in two months," Li Qin replied calmly.

After getting the answer, Bai Hanyun exchanged glances with Feng Xiyan, then looked at Li Qin and said, "It’s too long. I can’t wait."

When he heard this, Li Qin lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly. ’Looks like today’s deal will end in failure.’

While he was thinking, Bai Hanyun added, "Master Li, please help me put those antiques up for auction."

The moment he heard this, Li Qin raised his eyes to look at Bai Hanyun in surprise. "Are you sure, Miss Bai?"

Bai Hanyun nodded and explained, "Since my antique store will open in two days, I need more people to know about it."

Listening to what she said, Li Qin smiled. "I see. Then I will inform the Gu Bao Auction House’s general manager so he can help you promote your antique store."

Getting the promise she wanted, Bai Hanyun sincerely said, "Thank you, Master Li."

Waving his hand, Li Qin chuckled and responded, "No need to be polite with me. As long as Miss Bai lets me see some good antiques from now on, I will be very happy."

Bai Hanyun smiled at his words. "That’s for sure."

Glancing at the wall clock in the office, Bai Hanyun added, "Master Li, we still have things to deal with, so I won’t take up any more of your time."

Seeing Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan stand up, Li Qin also stood up. Reaching out toward her, he said, "Then I will see you in two days, Miss Bai."

Bai Hanyun shook his hand and nodded. "I will wait for your visit to the grand opening of my Bai Feng Antique Store, Master Li."

After shaking Bai Hanyun’s hand, Li Qin also politely shook Feng Xiyan’s hand before personally escorting them out of the Gu Bao Antique Store.
