Seeing my confused expression, Old Man Li interrupted to explain to me: "We are tomb robbers, cooperating with the authorities, we feel that it is not safe, and another one is what I said just now. We were extremely proud at the time, thinking that we are the best in the world, and simply looked down on Zhang Chenglin."

Who would have thought that they would be captured by this person who they looked down upon?

"After that, you agreed to Zhang Chenglin's conditions and accompanied him to conduct an archaeology?"

"What are we testing them for? We are Zhang Chenglin's pathfinders, so we can help them cut through the thorns in front so that they can smoothly enter the ancient tomb to investigate."

From the looks of it, these two old men were really miserable. They might be able to live a peaceful life in prison, and promise Zhang Chenglin that they would not even live if they went to the archaeological scene. This choice was inevitable.

"After the examination, Zhang Chenglin kept his promise and let you guys go?"

"Zhang Chenglin is a man of his word. He immediately let us go after he finished taking the Ancient Code." Hearing the tone of the Old Man Wang's words, it seemed to contain his admiration for Zhang Chenglin.

"And after that?" You and Zhang Chenglin became good friends? "

From the looks of it, Zhang Chenglin invited them to be appraiser s, so their relationship should be very good.

"Not really. At the time, we did indeed express our gratitude from the bottom of our hearts to Zhang Chenglin for his words, but at the same time, we did not want to see him again."

"Don't want to see him again? Are you planning to go back to being tomb robbers again? "

I stared at the two old men in disbelief. When the two old men saw my shocked expression, they both started to laugh.

"Our brothers like to be free and unfettered, not liking to be controlled by others. Although the treatment towards Zhang Chenglin is not bad, there are too many rules that restrict it. I'm a little not used to people like us who are used to being carefree and unrestrained."

"Haven't you been in contact since then? Until this time. "

"How is this possible?" Old Man Li replied, "Of course we'll meet again later, but the way we'll interact is very similar to the first time."

"You've been caught stealing graves again?" I asked him speculatively.

Old Man Li nodded his head, "Last time, we felt that it was due to bad luck and that we were careless. But this time, we did not think so."

Halfway through Old Man Li's words, the Old Man Wang continued, "After that period of archaeology with Zhang Chenglin, we deeply understood that Zhang Chenglin is extremely strong. The two of us are no match for him in the field of tomb robbing, so as long as he wants to capture us, he can capture us anytime."

Zhang Yaxin's grandfather was actually so powerful, no wonder I felt a sense of respect from the soul every time I saw him.

"And then he got you to help him with the archaeology?"

This time, Old Man Li and Old Man Wang both nodded their heads in tacit understanding with regards to my question.

"And then?"

"After that, we repeated this process several times. It was as if we were in a competition with Zhang Chenglin, but the ones who lost every time were always us."

When Old Man Wang said this, he did not feel convinced. In one breath, he finished the tea cup in his hand.

"How did you and Zhang Chenglin become friends?" This was the question that I was most curious about. The two old men nagged me for a long time, but it did not answer my question.

"Unknowingly, we became friends."

Old Man Wang's answer was very vague. I looked at Old Man Li, hoping that he would give me a clearer answer.

"We gradually became friends in the archaeology field. Although we didn't say it out loud, our hearts were already together, to the point that Zhang Chenglin capturing us in the end was just for fun, or perhaps it's been a long time since he saw us, wanting to chat with us."

"This method is really strange, can't we use a more normal method?"

"There's no other way. This is a special way of communication between us." Old Man Li shrugged. He was helpless but also seemed very happy.

"Are you still robbing tombs?"

"I'm old. I stopped washing up long ago."

"Then how are you two going to communicate with Zhang Chenglin?"

"Call! "Now that technology is so advanced, people thousands of miles away are able to communicate in an instant. It's very convenient to communicate with them."

I was speechless. Previously, I clearly said that I was communicating with Zhang Chenglin in a very special way, but now, it suddenly became a phone call.

"Zhang Chenglin is so rich, and you guys look so shabby, why didn't he help you guys out?"

"Everyone has their own way. Little brother Chen Yang, although we are friends, our paths are different. Furthermore, we are ambitious people, and the competition is not over yet!"

The battle between these two old men and Zhang Chenglin had not ended yet, so their final destination ought to be death.

"That's not right! Aren't you both notorious? Isn't it embarrassing for Zhang Chenglin to invite the two of you? " I suddenly thought of this fundamental question, "Furthermore, I heard that the appraiser before the auction are all famous masters. How could your current fame compare to the great master?"

"Although we are notorious, our abilities are still there. Furthermore, we are also people that Zhang Chenglin trusts, that's why he invited us to be his appraiser."

It seems like the relationship between them and Zhang Chenglin was really not simple, "Even if you guys have the deep trust of Zhang Chenglin, what's the use of your faces not being trusted by those treasure merchants?"

"Who said we're going to show our faces?" Old Man Li gave me a faint smile, but in my eyes, I felt that he was extremely cunning.

"What do you mean? Are you guys going to do an appraisal on the stage with your faces covered? "

This is the first time I've heard of it. If no one knows who you are while covering your face, will they believe that your identification is real?

"Yes, we'll wear a mask when we appraise the treasures."

"That way, won't others doubt the authenticity of the items being auctioned?"

The Old Man Wang explained: "If this was an ordinary small auction, then this might have been a very important performance, but in this top tier auction, this is just a formality, because everyone knows, such an auction would not have some sort of fake item to trick people. If there is such a thing, then it would be the responsibility of the auction, because the appraiser was also invited by them."

The Old Man Li added: "Zhang Chenglin believes in our appraisal skills, that's why he invited us. This matter is entirely under his responsibility, it doesn't have anything to do with the other people who came to auction."
