Chapter 280 Winning the Championship (The Finale)

Chapter 286. Winning the championship (finale)

Among the nine surnames, the Ren surname is the first. This is a well-known fact in the antique world, and this Young Master Ning also knows it.

Not only that, he also knew that as early as the dissolution of Sijiu Hall, there was no news about Ren. He had never appeared in the past ten years. He was either in decline or completely changed his career.

The other eight surnames were stunned when they heard his question. They wanted to refute but were speechless, and their faces turned red from holding back.

At this moment, a voice came from nearby: "Who said that there are only eight surnames left in Sijiutang?"

This voice was accompanied by a faint sneer, which sounded very strange. When everyone turned their heads, they saw a young man in ragged clothes coming from behind. Although his body was covered in blood, he had a graceful manner and extraordinary temperament.

"Why did you come out? Aren't you going to leave?"

Hu's father and daughter were stunned when they saw this person, while the others were stunned and puzzled.

The person who came was naturally Ren Ping. Before he could say anything, his eyes suddenly shifted to the woman called Miss Ping, and he was slightly taken aback: "It's you?"

"It's you!" The other party also asked in surprise.

It turned out that this woman was Ping'er whom he had met in Nanling that day. Ren Ping had always thought she was Wang Pei's maid, but after seeing her today, she turned out to be the young master of Dazhai, the capital, with an extraordinary status.

Immediately afterwards, I thought that behind Wang Peiping and Hepinger was Zhiyunzhai, the head of the three major zhais, which had a high status in the capital industry. The so-called purchasing meeting actually invited them to be the managers, and the real power behind it was ready to be revealed:

Tianyantong-Shanhe Baojian Competition!
This competition, which was re-hosted after decades, not only attracted the attention of the industry in China, but it was also a top priority in the industry in the capital.

Only these kinds of competitions are qualified to drive Yunzhai, and only they would think of buying so many precious curium porcelain at one time for the competition.

In an instant, after thinking through the cause and effect, Ren Ping had an idea in his mind.

Ping'er on the other end also smiled slightly: "It really is you, Miss has been waiting for you for many days."

Seeing that everyone was confused, he introduced: "Everyone, this gentleman's name is Ren Ping. He comes from Nanling. He found the Mingquan Xiaotianlong that was widely rumored some time ago and the two missing Twelve Flower God Cups. "

"He also has another identity, that is, he is the first heir of the Sijiu Hall. Now you know why he is here, right?"

"What? He is that Ren Ping from Nanling?"

"The descendant with the surname Ren actually went to Nanling? No wonder we haven't been able to find it!"

"In this way, the nine surnames are complete, and our Sijiutang can be regarded as reunited. Can we participate in the shopping fair together?"

Surprised, the rest of the people were still discussing.

Ping'er didn't pay much attention, and smiled at Ren Ping: "Mr. Ren, what are your plans?"

"Now?" Ren Ping looked at his face: "Of course I have to take a bath and change clothes."

Ping'er chuckled: "That's not easy, come with me to Zhiyunzhai, Miss will be very happy to see you."

"Okay, it's time to discuss important matters."

The two of them did not stay in the yard for too long. After instructing many people to attend the purchasing meeting on time, they took the car back to the capital city together.

When he arrived at the headquarters of Zhiyunzhai, Wang Pei had already received the news and was waiting. Besides, there were several other acquaintances. Ren Ping couldn't help being slightly surprised when he saw it:
"Old Qi, Su Rui, why are you here?"

Those people are naturally Qi Heng, Su Rui, Rong Yi, and the Qi brothers and sisters. Ren Ping went alone in the mountains for more than a month, and they also waited in the capital for more than a month. Later, they came to Zhiyunzhai to inquire. Only then did the news learn of his whereabouts.

The five of them were all dissatisfied with him, full of anger and wanted to vent, but they also knew that now was not the time, so they looked at Wang Pei.

Wang Pei smiled slightly: "Let's not gossip, everyone, how about we discuss the business together?"

Everyone said yes.

The next most important thing is to participate in the capital competition. Ren Ping had a plan in mind, and after discussing with everyone, he decided:
The first step is to contact various forces, the most important of which are two.

The first is Mr. Lian Yuquan. Since the last meeting in Nanling, Ren Ping has become half of Mr. Lian's disciples. If he wants to use this to contact some elders in the ancient spring world of the capital, it will be easy;

The second is the Porcelain Academy of the National Museum. With Yan Jiang as the dean, at least no one in the porcelain industry dare not buy his face.

With the help of these two forces, two of the seven categories of antiques can be guaranteed, and with the help of the headquarters of the Spring and Autumn League and the Sansan Zhai, it is quite sure that they will win the competition.

The second step is to eradicate dissidents.

On the surface, this competition is a grand event in the collection industry, but in fact, it is secretly related to the revitalization of the ancient martial arts world. The major ancient martial arts forces are all staring at it eagerly, wanting to get a piece of it, and Ren Ping is their number one target.

He had already thought about it, he would not be able to deal with the Jingyuan Group and Fang Yang's two rivals alone, but fortunately, he also had help on his side.

After sending their daughter back to Longquan for recuperation, Mei Hanxiao and Mo Ganyun have already set off for the capital. They can arrive today. The reputation of the Yunxiao couple is enough to intimidate a group of Xiao Xiaoxiao.

There is also the Dragon Mansion, a behemoth-like existence in today's ancient Chinese martial arts world, as long as it makes a move, no one can beat it.

The Capital Long Mansion and the Longquan Mei Family work together, and any ancient martial arts forces lurking in the dark dare not act rashly.

Ren Ping didn't want to make a big move at first, but if someone wanted to take advantage of the competition to get his own way, then he had no choice but to act first.

The plan was decided, and the group took action immediately. Qi Heng and others, holding letters in hand, separately visited various forces such as Lian Lao and the Porcelain Academy to seek support.

Wang Pei accompanied Ren Ping to Longfu to meet Long Wei.

After a few months, Long Wei has already reached the eighth level of Dragon Touring Realm, only one step away from entering Hengjiang.

There was no estrangement between the two when they met again, instead, they looked at each other with a smile just like when they parted in Nanling that day, and kept everything in silence.

……

A month later, the capital competition was held as scheduled.

On the day of the competition, all the seven major campuses of the National Museum, as the organizer, were present. Industry forces such as Spring and Autumn League and Zhiyunzhai were present. In addition, there were thousands of industry talents.

Ren Ping stood in the bustling crowd, seemingly inconspicuous, but in fact almost gathered the eyes of more than half of the audience. Everyone knew that he was the big favorite of this competition.

The first level, the peripheral points competition, is different from the Spring and Autumn League's selection in the Nanling preliminaries. Each person chooses a category as their main item, and the final value of the antiques is scored according to the final value of the selected antiques. The top five in each category advance.

Ren Ping has three recommended jade cards in his hand. According to the rules, he can sign up for three main items at the same time, one ancient spring, one porcelain, and one miscellaneous item. However, the number of antiques that can be panned remains the same.

When the news came out, the crowd started talking a lot, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

However, when the results came out, it was shocking. Ren Ping ranked in the top five in all three main events, and all of them entered the knockout round, equivalent to one person occupying three places for promotion.

Such a situation is not only this time, it is also unheard of in previous competitions!

The second level is the inner circle knockout round.

Because Ren Ping occupied three places alone, the 35 candidates for promotion were reduced to 33 people. They were randomly divided into groups of two and two for single elimination.

The competition system is formulated by the organizer, and then drawn immediately.

Ren Ping’s first question was called Peeping the Leopard in the Tube. He placed an antique in a black box, exposing a small part of the hole, and asked two people to guess its origin and value. This is a very clever way to test eyesight. Then add some holes and continue to guess, which is a bit similar to betting on stones.

The second question is called One Leaf Knows Autumn. It is similar to a crossword puzzle. Through the continuous description information given, guess a certain famous antique in the industry. This is a test of the knowledge reserves in the industry, especially the auction information of the auction house.

As soon as the two questions came out, Ren Ping knew that the competition system of this knockout round seemed to be varied, but in fact it remained the same. The test was still about knowledge of antiques, not about ancient martial arts.

He was relieved, but he had already passed the first round for a long time, and then passed several rounds in a row to advance to the final.

The opponent in the final was Du Yu from Jingyuan Group. Although he was also a rare young hero in the industry, he was no match for Ren Ping. The reason why he delayed until the last moment was just to wait for news outside the arena.

It's a pity that he was soon disappointed. When the fighting sound outside the arena suddenly rose and fell, and finally returned to calm, Du Yu's expression changed, and he slowly sat down on the ground.

On the other side, Ren Ping saw Long Wei at the side of the field. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he smiled slightly and picked up the gleaming trophy in his hand.
