Ma San, who had just arrived at the shop’s entrance, staggered when he heard the price of eight million!
He stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Ren Xueying, then spoke somewhat bewilderedly, “Beauty, you’re not joking, right?”
If this painting is really worth eight million, you are a complete idiot!
Great wealth was already within grasp, and then that kid forcefully snatched it away?
“Miss, do I look like I’m joking?” Ren Xueying spoke indifferently, turning her gaze back to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, meanwhile, was not paying attention to Ren Xueying. He took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it over the surface of the scroll!
Splash!
Everyone present was shocked.
“Young man, what are you doing?”
“Yeah! The lady just offered eight million, and now you’re ruining the painting?”
“Sigh!”
The crowd sighed in unison, but Ren Xueying’s eyes lit up at Ye Fan’s actions.
It seemed today she had encountered an expert!
“Handsome, how about ten million?” Ren Xueying actually raised the bid by another two million. Such a move completely baffled everyone.
Clearly, Ren Xueying must have seen something; otherwise, as a member of the prominent Su Family from Flower Capital in Provincial City, she would not raise the price for no reason.
Hiss!
Ye Fan still didn’t speak. When the painting scroll was sufficiently moist, he activated his Qi Force, grasped one corner of the scroll, and ripped it forcefully!
Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he actually tore off a thin film from the surface of the scroll, like a layer of adhesive paper covering it.
And with that film removed, the true visage of the scroll underneath was immediately revealed.
The colors were vibrant, the brushwork clear, the lines more distinct… even Daoist Wu’s seal was clearer.
“Encapsulated painting! I’ve got it, this is the legendary encapsulated painting… the outer layer is a sheepskin protective film, and the inside holds the authentic work!”
“My goodness, this is actually Daoist Wu’s authentic work! What a steal, forget ten million, even twenty million would not do it justice!”
“Handsome! I offer fifteen million, will you sell this painting to me? Cash transaction!”
“I bid eighteen million!” Discover hidden tales at
…
The crowd at the scene instantly exploded!
This was indeed sensational!
A painting purchased for fifteen hundred yuan was now fetching a bid of twenty million!
This was a profit of tens of thousands of times!
Ye Fan’s mouth twitched slightly as the film was torn away. The ancient Qi flowing from the scroll was all absorbed by Ye Fan under the influence of his Qi Force.
Ye Fan could clearly feel the ancient Qi being absorbed into his dantian.
As if nourished, the flickering flame therein seemed to become more vigorous, and the fire even brighter.
It appeared that the ancient Qi from the scroll was like nutrition and fuel for the mysterious Inheritance flame within his body.
For Ye Fan, whether it was twenty million or two hundred million, although the money was indeed substantial, for him, it was just a number.
With the Ye Corporation, the Wandering Spirits Organization, and the not yet fully disclosed Tianji Pavilion at his back, wanting money was as simple as lifting a finger for Ye Fan; it could shake an entire nation.
Ye Fan took an interest in this painting primarily because he needed the ancient aura within the scroll.
Now that Ye Fan had absorbed all the ancient aura from the scroll, the painting didn’t actually hold much significance for him anymore.
However, for Ma San, losing a painting worth twenty million was more painful than being killed!
Ma San stood dumbfounded at the door for several seconds before finally reacting. He quickly walked up to Ye Fan, grabbed his arm, and said, “Give the painting back, I’m not selling it anymore!”
As he spoke, Ma San reached out to snatch the painting back.
Ye Fan dodged with a swift movement of his body and said coldly, “Boss, are you trying to rob me? What do you mean? The painting has clearly already been sold, and you want to take it back? I’m afraid that’s not going to happen!”
“Kid, don’t be ungrateful! Daring to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth, in Cloud City, not many people have the guts to compete with me, Ma San, for good stuff!” Ma San stared coldly at Ye Fan and continued, “Kid, you’d better hand the painting back to me willingly, or I will make your life worse than death!”
As Ma San spoke, his voice grew darker, and several strong men moved to surround Ye Fan.
Ye Fan’s mouth twitched. “Boss! You seem to be confused about the situation, aren’t you? Let’s not talk about other things. Your big brother behind you, Old Wolf Wu, is already dead. You’re not unaware of this, are you? Moreover, I can tell you that I’m the one who took him down… Do you want to join him?”
As Ye Fan spoke, a fierce killing intent surged from his body, instantly causing Ma San’s heart to tremble violently.
Of course, Ma San knew about the trouble with Old Wolf Wu.
However, being at his level, he only knew that Old Wolf Wu seemed to have offended the young master of the Ye Family and Su Corporation, so he was dealt with. As for the specifics, he was unclear.
Reminded by Ye Fan, Ma San took another serious look at Ye Fan and seemed to remember who Ye Fan was?
Isn’t this the idiot from the Ye Family?
Why did Ye Fan look not at all foolish at this moment?
What the hell was going on?
“Handsome! Would you sell this painting to me for thirty million?” Ren Xueying squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Ye Fan’s arm, and gently shook it, her ample chest bumping against Ye Fan’s arm without a care, “My grandfather’s birthday is coming up, and I don’t know what gift to prepare for him. Handsome, could you please fulfill my wish?”
As Ren Xueying shook her body, the collar in front of her chest moved slightly, and the edge of her dress slipped halfway down her shoulder, revealing half of her fair skin. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Ye Fan’s pupils couldn’t help but dilate!
Phoenix Pattern?
Below Ren Xueying’s collarbone, Ye Fan clearly saw a flash of a golden Phoenix pattern!
And six years ago, when Ye Fan was on a secret mission in Provincial City, he almost died in an attack… and at that time, it was a girl who saved him!
Back then, the night was deep, and Ye Fan never saw the girl’s face, only the golden Phoenix pattern at her neckline!
Six years later, to come across the girl who had saved his life again in Cloud City?
Fate really does work in mysterious ways!
A life-saving grace should be repaid with a pledge of one’s own life!
But now that he already had seven wives, he might not be able to make such a promise!
Since Ren Xueying liked the painting so much, he decided to give it to her as a gift!
“Beauty indeed has a good heart. Since it’s like that, I’ll give you this painting as a gift!” As he spoke, Ye Fan handed the painting scroll to Ren Xueying’s hand.
“Ah?” Ren Xueying was stunned, “Handsome, you… this…”
The surrounding crowd also wore puzzled expressions. A painting worth thirty million, just given away like that?
How outrageously generous!
It’s all about the money!
And the most frustrated person was Ma San. He was willing to spend one million to buy it back, and Ye Fan refused, only to turn around and give it to a beautiful woman for free?
Was this done deliberately to disgust him?
