After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person Chapter 548 Shooting Blindly

Chu He quickly stepped forward, blocking in front of Chen Yu.

"Mr. Ma, isn't this a bit too much? I have already verified it, and Mr. Chen is indeed the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, there is no doubt about it."

Ma Chengfei didn't care about that, taking out a dagger from his person and aiming it at Chen Yu.

"This kid appeared in the Core Tower for no reason, he must have ulterior motives! Seize him imdiately, or our Sand Hollow will be destroyed by him."

Frustrated, Chu He always felt that Ma Chengfei acted arrogantly because of his status in the Core Tower, and now he was being unreasonable in front of Chen Yu.

This could likely cause conflict between Sand Hollow and the Sect.

Chen Yu chuckled, his body suddenly flickered, appearing in front of Ma Chengfei, and lightly tapped his shoulder.

A strong current was imdiately released, knocking Ma Chengfei to the ground, while the other Core Tower mbers were stunned, their gazes turning to Chu He.

"Mr. Ma has passed out, everyone listen to my command, disperse imdiately, and go back to your duties!"

The people promptly dropped their weapons: those who should eat, ate; those who should patrol, patrolled, as if nothing had happened.

Chu He sighed deeply, had soone carry Ma Chengfei away, and then sat down in an empty spot with Chen Yu.

"Sect Leader Chen, you see, my words don't carry much weight here. Besides Ma Chengfei, there are a few old n, they are the elders of the Core Tower! So, I can only take you on a simple tour of a few floors, please forgive !"

Chen Yu waved his hand, "No matter, a casual look will suffice!"

Chu He imdiately felt sowhat embarrassed and quickly handed a tal card to Chen Yu.

"This is a ticket to the bottom three floors of the Core Tower. With this, you can move freely within them! As for the other floors, I'll discuss it with the elders in the tower."

Chen Yu didn't say much, as he had already roughly scanned the layout of the place with his system, and by just visiting the bottom three floors, he could virtually reconstruct everything inside the tower in his mind.

After eating sothing simple, Chen Yu took Jin Lingsu and others to the very bottom layer of the Core Tower.

This level had very few people, just several relatively young individuals with innate superpowers sitting at the workbenches, examining so antique jade wares.

This place looked like a giant collection center, filled with various treasures, dazzling to the eye, akin to a world-class museum.

The mont he entered, Chen Yu was stunned by everything here; just the two vases placed at the entrance were imperial tributes from the Qianlong era.

"Who's there?"

A girl looking to be in her twenties suddenly jumped out, blocking Chen Yu's path.

"This is a restricted area of the Core Tower; outsiders are not allowed in without permission. Leave imdiately, or don't bla for being rude."

Her candy-fierce deanor made Chen Yu find it sowhat amusing; he directly took out the tal card Chu He gave him.

Upon seeing the card, the girl imdiately beca respectful and let Chen Yu in.

Jin Lingsu rushed to a display case, her face full of excitent.

"Wow, all the treasures here have been lost for years, if they were all taken out, they'd be worth at least several billion!"

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly ran over.

"What do you think you're doing? Everything here has been painstakingly collected by us; you're not taking a single item."

Jin Lingsu's eyes darted back and forth.

"Little sister, don't be so tense! Loosen up a bit. These things are useless lying around here, why not let sister take them out and trade them for money, and then we'll split it eighty-twenty..."

"No way!" The little girl spread her arms in front of the shelf, "As long as I'm here, you won't think about taking these things away."

Chen Yu coughed twice, "Alright, stop joking around with her. We're just here to have a look. If we really wanted to take anything from here, we would need the Core Tower's owner's permission."

Jin Lingsu smiled awkwardly and then patted the little girl's shoulder.

"You really are dedicated, little sister. Why don't you co work in my collection room, I'll start you off with a salary of a hundred thousand a month!"

The little girl did not answer but continued to stare down Jin Lingsu, looking fierce yet adorable.

Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and took a few steps deeper into the room, when he suddenly discovered sothing resembling a marble placed in a corner.

The patterns on it seed to be from the Tang Dynasty's Tianbao era, but woven between these patterns were so text in the style of the early Southern Song Dynasty.

Chen Yu imdiately beca interested and crouched down to take a closer look.

"Sir, do you like this item?"

The little girl, who just a mont ago had been confronting Jin Lingsu, hurried over to Chen Yu's side.

It looked as though she was worried that Chen Yu might steal sothing here.

"I just find it odd. The age of the item shouldn't be a problem, but the patterns span over several dynasties."

The little girl also nodded.

"This item has been here for many years, and we've conducted a lot of related research. However, we just can't determine its real age or purpose."

Chen Yu frowned slightly and imdiately began scanning it with the system.

It wasn't long before all the derivative information about the altar appeared in his mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a sacrificial altar from the fourteenth year of Tianbao, around the ti when An Lushan started the rebellion."

The little girl's eyes widened, and she scrambled closer to take a closer examination.

They had conducted a lot of related research and had already narrowed the years down to between the tenth and fifteenth year of Tianbao and the function to a major ceremony for heaven worship.

But because there were no clear inscriptions and no records in the historical docunts, they couldn't identify the specific user.

Yet Chen Yu, after just one glance, was able to determine its age and even link it to An Lushan, which was indeed surprising.

"Sir, are you sure?"

Chen Yu gently stroked the inscription.

"This must be carved by Zhao Gou, the founding Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, using what later generations called 'riddle script' tadpole text! No one in this world can understand this writing anymore, so it's normal that you spent so much ti without deciphering it."

The little girl beca excited and took out her special cara to snap photos of the inscriptions on the outside of the altar.

As they were speaking, an elderly man suddenly ran over and snatched the cara from the little girl's hands.

"Who allowed you to take pictures here?"
