Chapter 52
A Bribe from the Master

“Hey, why do you all know about this Mirror Bracelet?”

“Isn’t it just an ordinary treasure from a Taobao store?”

Chen Fan asked curiously.

“It is now, but it wasn’t before.”

“The Mirror Bracelet was once in my possession and appeared at an auction.”

“However, it was unsold.”

“Later, I invited many restoration masters and array formation masters to come and observe, but they all couldn’t repair it.”

“So, for a while, the Mirror Bracelet was quite famous.”

“I guess many masters must have gone to observe it privately, but they didn’t dare to make a move, so they didn’t.”

Ji Yao Yao explained, her words seemed to reveal something, causing many masters to blush slightly.

“Speaking of which, did you repair this?”

Ji Yao Yao asked expectantly.

“No, it was repaired by an elder in my family.”

Chen Fan shook his head, he didn’t want to be so high-profile.

What if those masters lost face and he was exposed?

Not pointing out things would also offend the masters.

It was best to make up a non-existent elder in his family, it could also market his mysterious identity and elevate his status.

“An elder in your family?”

“I see…”

Ji Yao Yao was instantly enlightened, she thought of the powerful and mysterious aura she sensed in Chen Fan's territory, an aura that also carried a sense of time.

“Whew…”

Others inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Fan was too young.

If he could repair treasures that even these masters couldn’t, it was too unrealistic.

No matter how gifted he was, repairing this kind of work that required experience, knowledge, and technique, still required time to accumulate.

The old guys breathed a sigh of relief, and the young people also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, no one wanted their peers to be too much better than themselves.

“I’ll visit again someday, I hope you can introduce me!”

Ji Yao Yao looked at Chen Fan with fiery eyes.

As the head of the auction house, knowing a restoration master with such incredible skills was a very urgent matter.

If she could get the master to work, would the auction still worry about not having a major treasure?

She knew that her bet on Chen Fan was absolutely right.

“No problem.”

Chen Fan nodded, but his heart was overjoyed.

All the restoration masters were actually him.

He could naturally understand the meaning in Ji Yao Yao’s eyes.

Just repairing treasures?

As long as the price was right, he could always make some profit.

Free repair?

Impossible.

Even masters need to eat.

You’ll have to prepare the materials for the repair yourselves.

For a moment, Chen Fan seemed to see countless points and wealth beckoning to him.

This was completely beyond Chen Fan's expectations, he really didn’t expect a Mirror Bracelet to cause such a big reaction, bringing him invisible business.

“Thank you…”

Seeing Chen Fan’s straightforward agreement, Ji Yao Yao smiled happily.

“Little friend Chen Fan, could you introduce me to some masters someday…”

Just then, an old man slowly walked to Chen Fan, speaking with utmost humility and sincerity.

This surprised Chen Fan.

“This is Master Gu, a renowned restoration master in our South City…”

Ji Yao Yao explained with a smile.

“I’ve met the master…”

Chen Fan bowed with respect.

Restoration masters were highly sought after, and they had a strong influence. Many complete treasures on the market were from their hands.

Moreover, Master Gu hadn’t been disrespectful.

“I am merely a figurehead.”

“Your elder is the true master, skilled beyond compare.”

“I hope, little friend, you can introduce me to visit him.”

Master Gu was very humble.

“Master Gu, you flatter me.”

“It’s just that my elder is always secluded and doesn’t like strangers…”

“If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely introduce you, but it’s not something that can be rushed.”

Chen Fan shook his head and directly refused.

He was joking, this guy was a real restoration master, if he really introduced him, wouldn’t Baxia be exposed?

“Then I’ll wait for good news from the little friend.”

“We’ve just met, this is a little gift for you…”

Speaking, Master Gu directly took out a treasure box and handed it to Chen Fan, intending to bribe him.

“Master Gu, you mustn’t!”

“I can’t accept a gift for nothing, it’s not proper…”

A flash of excitement crossed Chen Fan’s eyes, but reason prevailed.

As the saying goes, taking people’s money is being short with them, eating people’s mouths is being soft.

It wouldn’t be good of him to take it without doing anything in return.

“You misunderstood, little friend, I just want to make friends with you, not ask you to do anything for me.”

“True masters all have strange temperaments, their wills cannot be changed by others or material possessions, I’m like this, let alone a true master…”

Master Gu explained sincerely.

“Little Fan, just take it.”

“Master Gu’s gifts are always sincere and without any ulterior motives.”

Ji Yao Yao chimed in from the side.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll accept your generosity, Master.”

Since this was the case, Chen Fan readily accepted, happily taking the treasure box.

He didn’t open it, he put it directly into his storage ring.

Gifts from a master were definitely extraordinary.

The cost of repairing the Mirror Bracelet was definitely covered.

He had come just to try and get a few spirit fruits, he didn’t expect to get so many benefits.
