Five days later.

Xijiang Provincial Martial Arts Association, Yuan Shuo's office.

Wang Ye plopped down into a chair in Yuan Shuo's office. He had headed straight there after dealing with the ancient ruins, his feet and clothes caked with a lot of dirt.

Therefore, upon entering Yuan Shuo's office, he tracked mud all over the floor, which made Yuan Shuo feel a pang of disgust.

He usually cleaned his office himself!

"Hold on, clean up my office before you leave!" Yuan Shuo said somewhat irritably to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye, looking somewhat perplexed, gave Yuan Shuo a glance that screamed three big words:

What are you saying?

Seeing this, Yuan Shuo knew Wang Ye was playing dumb and didn't bother to argue further. He knew Wang Ye must have had something important to tell him since he came all this way in such a dusty rush.

"Just tell me what you want to say," he said, staring at the dirty floor. He had just cleaned the floor not long ago, meticulously wiping every corner.

As a result of Wang Ye's arrival, the cleanliness didn't last even half an hour.

His tone lacked any courtesy as he spoke to Wang Ye.

A woman sitting beside Yuan Shuo with her legs crossed, watched the dirt on the floor with a faint smile on her face.

Just moments ago, Yuan Shuo had been boasting to her about how clean and tidy his office was.

Now, with no chance left to boast, Yuan Shuo felt frustrated.

"I've already fixed up the ancient ruins. I want you to come see how my reconstruction turned out," said Wang Ye. The ancient ruin was in Taiyuan City Prefecture, so after finishing the job, the first thing was obviously to invite Yuan Shuo and his team for a look.

If Yuan Shuo and others thought it was acceptable, the next step for Wang Ye would be to show it to the man with the square face.

If the square-faced man didn't see any issue then, the ancient ruins project that Wang Ye was working on could be considered a success.

Then, it could be used to dupe those foreigners.

"Fixed it up already?"

Yuan Shuo and the woman beside him exchanged a look, both a bit surprised.

Though they hadn't had great expectations for Wang Ye's reconstructed ancient ruin—after all, just the mysterious, treasure-filled vibe of real ancient ruins is extremely hard to mimic.

They thought that constructing a fake ancient ruin would take at least half a month to twenty days; however, Wang Ye completed it in just nine days.

Moreover, during these twenty days, they had heard that Wang Ye, having nothing else to do, even took a trip to Wolong City Government like he was going to mine some kind of raw stone veins.

He had decided against mining right after getting there and even spent a day there just having fun…

"Wang Ye."

Yuan Shuo's look became serious as he faced Wang Ye. Although he had been somewhat irritable while speaking earlier, essentially, he was just teasing him.

But now, the tone he used implied he truly had something important to discuss with Wang Ye.

"You've never seen the ancient ruins, so we understand you can't create an exact replica, but you can't just make a random ruin and try to pass it off to us."

"Exactly," the woman beside Yuan Shuo, Wang Hui, chimed in.

"Huh?"

Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui's words left Wang Ye slightly stunned before he could react.

It turned out that because he had forged the ancient relics so quickly, Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui felt that he was fooling them.

For a moment, Wang Ye helplessly said to Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui, "President Yuan, Secretary Wang, since I am already here, it is definitely because I am confident, which is why I let you see it."

"If I were fooling you because I couldn't do it well, then I wouldn't need to show you at all, but would have straightforwardly told you that I can't do it."

As Wang Ye spoke, he appeared somewhat helpless.

Am I really that foolish?

If I couldn't do it well, I would have just said so, there's no need to deceive Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui here.

There's no benefit to myself either.

What exactly are Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui thinking?

Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui nodded; what Wang Ye said did make some sense.

If it were just to deceive them, Wang Ye really wouldn't need to go through such trouble.

Still, the two of them couldn't help feeling somewhat skeptical.

So fast?

This is an ancient relic, after all!

Although Wang Ye was a Third Grade Martial Warrior, which made him somewhat faster at forging ancient relics due to his capabilities,

the key issue sometimes isn't just about speed.

It's about finding things.

Since you've already said it's an ancient relic, it should be apparent to anyone observing from outside that there are valuable things inside, which they need, prompting them to choose to enter the relic.

Otherwise, those foreigners aren't fools; if they can't sense any valuable objects from the outside, they would quickly realize that the relic must be fake.

Seeing that the two still seemed unconvinced, Wang Ye somewhat irritably said to them:

"If the two of you don't believe what I'm saying, why not just come with me and see for yourselves? Just one trip, and feel what it's like, that should clarify things, right?"

How much do these two mistrust him!

Keep in mind, he was the person who had greatly advanced Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country!

Even if they didn't trust him, they could at least go have a look, make a gesture—what did their apparent disbelief mean?

"Indeed."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shuo and Wang Hui didn't say much more. After nodding slightly, they let Wang Ye lead the way, following behind him.

Regardless, they still needed to check it out.

What if… Wang Ye really succeeded?

The location of the ancient relic was in Taiyuan Mountain in Taiyuan City Prefecture.

Taiyuan Mountain was vast!

Compared to the Dushan Mountain that Wang Ye had visited a few days ago, it was not just a bit larger!
