C268 The Way to Break the Conundrum (2/2)

”Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly. I know that you have an ancient painting in your hand that was passed down from the previous dynasty. Can you show this painting to us?”

After Tang Rou said this, not just the old gramps, but even the others around her revealed an astonished expression. This was unavoidable, since donating an ancient painting was an extremely secretive matter.

”How do you know about this? What on earth are you planning? ”

The butler, who always had a bit of prejudice against me and Tang Rou, stood up and started criticizing us. This kind of tone made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and Tang Rou also revealed a displeased expression.

Old mister Bai, the two of us were running here and there because of this, and we almost lost our lives last night. Now, the person beside you is actually questioning me, if that's the case, I don't think we need to wade in this muddy water.

After saying this, Tang Rou went over and pulled my arm. As she walked out, she even gave me a look.

Of course, I knew that this was Tang Rou's way of provoking others. If that Old Man Bai was suspicious of us, then this matter could only be put on hold for now. If the old man knew, then she would definitely stop us if she knew that Tang Rou and I had worked hard these past two days.

As expected, just as Tang Rou and I took two steps forward, Old Man Bai spoke up from behind us.

”Young people, why are you so impatient? I'll get my butler to apologize to you all.”

After saying this, Old Man Bai coughed. Although the butler's face still had an unsatisfied expression, he still coldly snorted at Tang Rou and me. Then, he turned around and stood to the side, no longer saying anything to stop them.

After seeing this situation, Tang Rou and I didn't continue being hypocritical.

”As for how we obtained this information, I don't mind telling you. Before this, I really wanted to find a magic tool that I could use, and I coincidentally saw news of your ancient painting being auctioned off and even donated. This item is definitely a very good item for us Daoists. Therefore, we wanted to buy this painting in the beginning. ”

As Tang Rou said this, she slowly paced back and forth in the room. The expressions of the people next to Old Man Bai also became more and more amazed. In reality, it was hard for the two of us to say anything about it, but things had already gotten to this point and we couldn't continue hiding it.

Tang Rou cleared her throat and continued.

”Old mister Bai should also know the strength of our Tang Clan. Although my parents and grandfathers are no longer around, it shouldn't be a problem to spend tens of millions to buy a painting. Furthermore, what I want is only the scroll of that painting.”

The old man nodded his head repeatedly with a suspicious look on his face, but it was quickly covered up.
