Xiao Yang approached the receptionist and told her that he want to auction off an item, the receptionist rang hey manager and then lead Xiao Yang to an private room fitted with many equipment used to identify treasures. There they found an old man and an woman who is about in her late 20.

"Good afternoon sir, I'm the manager of this Golden Sky Auction and this is our professor for authenticating treasures"

The manager's face clearly indicated that she wasn't convict by Xiao Yang's plate that he is holding on his hand as Xiao Yang was dressed in a cheap looking t-shirt and jean.

"If I may young man?". Said the old man while gesturing with his hands

"Of course professor"

The professor gently fetched the plate from Xiao Yang's hand while wearing an blue surgical glove, the professor took an closer examination with his glasses but his eye brows suddenly shot high into the roof and he slowly rushed to put the plate on a thick red cushioned.

At this point everyone in the room was shocked by the old man's reaction, especially the manager as she never seen the professor react like this ever before, she held her breath waiting for the professor to save her from this killing curiosity that she has.

"This... This is the Tang Dynasty's dinning plate used by the emperor himself!"

"This is over a thousand years old and Its worth at least a ¥400k!"

Everyone's jaw dropped as they heard the professors price evaluation for the plate except Xiao Yang as he is already aware of the value of the treasure.

"How about this sir, we will help you auction this off today with only an 1% fee? Normally it's 5%"

"Alright, here is my credit card"

The manger passed Xiao Yang's credit card to one of the staff to be written onto the system, before handing it back to Xiao Yang and lead him to the hall where the auction was going to begin.

**Half an hour later
