Chapter 167

Three minutes later, an old man wearing a green shirt, gray shoes and a mustache walked into the auction hall, surrounded by several disciples.

"Hello, Master Dong!"

Many guests who recognized the old man greeted him politely. Although Dong Banzhang was only an appraiser, he was famous and knew many bigwigs in the business and political circles. Such a person was naturally worthy of their polite treatment.

Jiang Bingkun took two steps forward to greet Dong Banzhang, "Mr. Dong, I have a painting that your auction house has appraised. Now someone is questioning whether it is a fake, so I specially asked you to come and take a look!"

Hearing what Jiang Bingkun said, Dong Banzhang's face suddenly darkened. The items auctioned by his auction house were either appraised by him or by his apprentices. Now being said to be fakes is simply a slap in his face!

"Mr. Jiang, who is this person?" Dong Banzhang did not hide his anger in his tone. He wanted to see who the other person was, since he dared to question his and his disciples' ability to appraise treasures.

"Mr. Dong, it's him!"

Jiang Bingkun pointed at Ye Xiao casually, with a sly look in his eyes.

Dong Banzhang raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Xiao. Seeing that he was a stranger and so young, he couldn't help but look down on Ye Xiao.

However, since this person could make Jiang Bingkun specially invite him, he must have some ability, so he did not neglect him.

"Mr. Jiang, take out the painting!"

Jiang Bingkun nodded to his attendant, who immediately moved a long table and slowly spread the plum blossom lady painting on the long table.

After Dong Banzhang took the magnifying glass from his disciple, he bent down and observed it carefully. At this time, everyone in the auction hall held their breath and did not dare to make a sound, so as not to disturb Dong Banzhang.

Shen Luoyan's palms were full of sweat. She knew that from the moment Jiang Bingkun called Dong Banzhang, Ye Xiao had at least lost 80%. Not to mention whether Ye Xiao could tell the fake painting apart, even if it was a fake painting, since Dong Banzhang was the chief appraiser of the auction house, he would never destroy his reputation.

Ye Xiao was still too reckless. This time, he fell into Jiang Bingkun's trap!

Dong Banzhang only looked at it for less than half a minute, and then he straightened up, "Mr. Jiang, I have finished the appraisal. This painting is definitely authentic!" Dong Banzhang's voice was loud and gave people an infinite sense of authority.

Shen Luoyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. Dong Banzhang's words were equivalent to sentencing Ye Xiao to death!

Song Qingxue's eyebrows were also tangled, and her eyes flashed with a complex look of self-blame, helplessness, and resentment.

The grudge between Ye Xiao and Jiang Bingkun was caused by her. If she hadn't asked Ye Xiao to follow her to Mingyue Tower that day, the two would not have had a grudge. Although she still hated Ye Xiao for not caring about her, she didn't want to see Ye Xiao being forced to jump into the sea after losing. But what can she do now?

Jiang Bingkun immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dong!"

After that, he turned his head impatiently and looked at Ye Xiao, "How about it, Mr. Ye, can you jump into the sea?"

"I advise you to hurry up, otherwise the cruise ship will go farther and farther, and you really won't have any chance of survival, hahaha!" Jiang Bingkun smiled wildly.

Although some of the onlookers sympathized with Ye Xiao, most of them felt that Ye Xiao had brought it upon himself. If Ye Xiao hadn't angered Jiang Bingkun, how could he have been suppressed by Jiang Bingkun?

Of course, they have automatically chosen to forget Jiang Bingkun's previous troubles, or in their eyes, Jiang Bingkun can bully Ye Xiao at will, but if Ye Xiao dares to resist, it would be a heinous act.

However, Ye Xiao completely ignored the mocking eyes of the crowd. He curled his lips and laughed jokingly: "Haha, with such a rubbish appraisal level, he still has the nerve to be called a master. He is really shameless!"

Hearing that Ye Xiao dared to shout at Dong Banzhang at this time, everyone pointed at Ye Xiao and said, "Boy, you'd better keep your mouth clean. Master Dong's name, can you, an ant like you, slander it?"

"Haha, I think he is so stubborn because he knows he won't live long! He is really a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water!"

"Young Master Jiang, I suggest that someone quickly throw this ignorant boy into the sea to feed the fish. Leaving such a vulgar person on the cruise ship for one more second will only pollute the air."

Shen Luoyan and Song Qingxue were almost crying in anxiety. They also felt that Ye Xiao was too bold. It was not enough to offend Jiang Bingkun, but he also offended Dong Banzhang to death. I am afraid that no one can protect him now!

Jiang Bingkun did not speak, but just watched this scene calmly. Dong Banzhang's status was not lower than his own. If he angered this man, even if Ye Xiao was lucky enough to survive today,In the future, it is estimated that there will be no place to stand in the entire Jiangnan Province.

At this time, Dong Banzhang's old face was almost gloomy. He had been appraising treasures for decades, and today was the first time that someone humiliated him like this.

"Boy, if the sky is crazy, it will rain, and if people are crazy, they will be in trouble. I see that you are young and I won't argue with you, but I advise you to take back what you just said, otherwise the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable."

Ye Xiao grinned and said lightly: "Am I arrogant? A blind rat like you dares to call yourself a master. I am just telling the truth. Is that not enough?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Boy, since you keep saying that I am blind, you'd better be able to explain it. Otherwise, even if I, Dong Banzhang, risk my life today, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." Dong Banzhang stared at Ye Xiao and shouted hoarsely.

Ye Xiao smiled instead of getting angry, with a calm and composed face, "Haha, I wanted to save some face for you, but you insisted on giving face without shame, so you can't blame me." After saying that, Ye Xiao stood up and walked towards the painting of the lady in front of Dong Banzhang.

"What does this kid want to do? Can he really prove that Master Dong was wrong?" Everyone was puzzled. Due to Dong Banzhang's authority in the antique industry, they instinctively believed that Dong Banzhang would never be wrong.

Seeing Ye Xiao coming forward, Jiang Bingkun moved back slightly. He was worried that Ye Xiao would take him hostage and get away. Dong Banzhang looked at Ye Xiao with a playful look in his eyes. He wanted to see what this arrogant boy was capable of.

Ye Xiao came to the painting, slowly stretched out his hand, pressed and lifted the painting paper, and heard a "crash!", and the painting on the table was immediately uncovered by him.

If there were martial arts masters here, they would be horrified. Ye Xiao had exerted his internal strength to perfection. His strength was only applied to the upper layer of rice paper, without damaging the lower layer at all.

The difficulty of this method is no different from peeling a raw egg with bare hands without damaging the inner shell membrane of the egg.
