The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Crown Prince, You’ve Been Fooled by This Kid

Zhou Shilong and Lin Shaofeng exchanged a look, and both saw deep fear in the other’s eyes!

At first, they were polite to Cheng Yuan only because he was Prince Duan’s sworn brother; they weren’t particularly afraid of him.

They had even secretly schemed to get revenge on Cheng Yuan whenever his relationship with Prince Duan soured.

But now? How could they still dare to seek revenge?

From now on, even without having to consider Prince Duan’s reputation, Cheng Yuan was their patriarch.

Lin Shaofeng scrambled to his feet, gazing at Cheng Yuan with a look of pure adoration, not bothering to hide his fawning. ”Grandmaster, you’re incredible! You’re absolutely the undisputed number one of the younger generation in the entire Ancient Martial Realm!”

Zhou Shilong was just as shameless with his flattery. ”Third Uncle’s combat skills astounded me, but what’s even more astounding is your potential! One day, Third Uncle will attain the Dao and become the undisputed number one in the entire Ancient Martial Realm!”

Duan Lang laughed and cursed, ”Stop sucking up, you two! Even I can’t listen to this anymore. Third Uncle, please, the elevator.”

After that little spar, Duan Lang had completely accepted his place. He finally understood his father’s words: he absolutely, under no circumstances, could afford to provoke Cheng Yuan. He had to, by all means, stay on good terms with him.

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly and strolled into the elevator.

Duan Lang, Zhou Shilong, and Lin Shaofeng stood cautiously behind Cheng Yuan, not daring to overstep their bounds by even half a step.

Cheng Yuan said gently, ”Xiaolang, we’re practically family. No need to be so formal. Tell me about the Magical Artifact Exchange.”

Duan Lang replied respectfully, ”To answer your question, Third Uncle, the Magical Artifact Exchange was first started by Gui City’s own Master Xun Chang. Initially, it was just a small, local event in Gui City.”

”Last year, an Upper Grade Magical Artifact appeared at the exchange and was acquired by the Magic Master from Hong Kong Island, Li Jumin!”

”After that, our Gui City Magical Artifact Exchange became famous, and many experts from out of town started coming to hunt for treasures.”

”Today, there are a total of eight prominent figures from various circles attending. The more important ones include Qian Province’s wealthiest man, Elder Qian Jinshui; the young clan leader of the Shu Miao Race from Miaojiang, Miao Shijie; and the rich merchant from Hong Kong Island, Bao Beilong.”

”Elder Qian is nicknamed ’Half-a-Province,’ which gives you an idea of how vast his fortune is! Miao Shijie needs no introduction, and Bao Beilong is the youngest son of a shipping magnate. All three of them have brought a Magic Master to appraise items.”

As he spoke, the elevator arrived. The group reached the Cloud Palace on the top floor.

Zhou Shilong and Lin Shaofeng eagerly pushed the doors open, and Cheng Yuan and Duan Lang entered the room, one after the other.

Inside the room were two rows of long benches made of huanghuali wood.

Seven or eight people were already seated.

Upon seeing Duan Lang, most of them stood and clasped their hands in greeting.

”Crown Prince, you’ve arrived?”

Duan Lang politely returned the gesture and exchanged pleasantries with the group.

Only a few remained firmly seated, unconcerned: a young man in Miao ethnic attire, an old man in a Zhongshan suit, and another young man who looked rather wealthy.

Next to each of these three stood an arrogant-looking Magic Master.

Miao Shijie shot a nonchalant glance at Cheng Yuan beside Duan Lang and asked with a sinister smile, ”Duan Lang, who’s this young man? He looks unfamiliar. Don’t tell me he’s some new charity case of a brother?”

”Miao Shijie! Watch your mouth! This is...”

Duan Lang instinctively started to snap back and explain Cheng Yuan’s identity, but Cheng Yuan, not wanting to make enemies for no reason, cut him off. He said coolly, ”I am the Mage hired by Crown Prince Duan to assist him with appraisal.”

Hearing this, everyone froze for a moment and stared at Cheng Yuan in unison.

The next second, the entire Cloud Palace erupted in roars of laughter.

”Hahaha, did you all hear that? This kid says he’s a Mage? Here to appraise for the Crown Prince?”
