Chapter 361: Chapter 361 I’m Still Okay

One idea was that Xiao Yifei was a complete novice, a person who knew nothing, but Cao Heming dismissed this thought as soon as it emerged. Because the idea was too unrealistic; Tan Zhenting was no fool. Tan Zhenting would certainly see through Xiao Yifei’s strengths and weaknesses. A Xiao Yifei who received such courtesy from Tan Zhenting could hardly be ordinary.

The second thought was that Xiao Yifei was pretending to be a fool to test him. This idea made Cao Heming suddenly narrow his eyes. He looked at Xiao Yifei and also began to probe.

"Hmm, I know, it’s okay, I’m just looking around, don’t worry about it."

The indifferent voice of Xiao Yifei reached Cao Heming’s ears, causing him a start. However, after a brief moment of surprise, Cao Heming calmed the slight turmoil in his heart, believing that his own actions and guise were flawless, without a single loophole.

So, he stopped talking and stood by, watching Xiao Yifei’s clumsy actions. The more he watched, the less Xiao Yifei seemed to be pretending to test him but rather to be a complete novice who truly knew nothing.

This wasn’t just Cao Heming’s thought; Jia Dong also harbored doubts about Xiao Yifei. Initially, Jia Dong thought Xiao Yifei must be quite capable, but just from observing Xiao Yifei’s posture while appraising the treasure, he seemed even more like a complete novice. At the start, Jia Dong was somewhat worried because Tan Zhenting was looking out for Xiao Yifei, so he held back from unnecessary comments. But when he saw that Tan Zhenting was standing aside, utterly disregarding Xiao Yifei,

as if he had no expectations from Xiao Yifei and didn’t believe that Xiao Yifei could discern anything, Jia Dong’s heart suddenly settled. Watching Xiao Yifei feign expertise as he examined the Yuan blue-and-white vase, Jia Dong, standing beside Xiao Yifei, began to speak in a tone full of ridicule.

"What are you looking at? Is this Yuan blue-and-white vase from your family? Knocking and tapping it as you are, why don’t you just put it in your mouth and take a bite?"

Jia Dong stroked his goatee, pride evident in his gaze.

With Jia Dong’s status, he felt entitled to lecture this ignorant youngster.

Xiao Yifei, holding the Yuan blue-and-white vase, turned and glanced at Jia Dong, not saying much. Instead, he turned back and truly brought the vase to his mouth, opening it to gently bite on it with his teeth.

Seeing this action, Jia Dong burst into laughter filled with mockery, adopting an air of superiority, one hand behind his back and the other pointing at Xiao Yifei.

"Xiao... Master Xiao, what are you doing? Are you hungry? If you’re hungry, go eat something instead, why bite on a Yuan blue-and-white vase? Do you know how much this vase sold for at the auction? If you damage it, do you think you can afford to compensate?"

Jia Dong said to Xiao Yifei, full of disdain.

When Jia Dong spoke to Xiao Yifei in such a manner, Tan Zhenting didn’t object. Apart from Tan Yunjing, whose gaze turned a bit unfriendly, there was no other reaction.

This situation made Cao Heming’s eyes suddenly narrow.

"Could it be that I was wrong? This Mr. Xiao, the so-called master, is actually not a master of artifact appraisal, but truly clueless about this field?"

Cao Heming watched the awkward actions of Xiao Yifei, filled with doubt.

At this moment, Jia Dong, seeing Xiao Yifei’s silence in response to his words, was brimming with smugness, as if his few strands of goatee might curl up to the sky.

And just at that moment, Xiao Yifei finally turned around, holding the Tan Family’s blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, a smirk on his face as he spoke to Jia Dong, "I just heard them calling you Professor Jia, Professor Jia, you must be the real deal. You just said that this blue and white vase from the Yuan Dynasty was auctioned off for a high price? How high was this high price?"

Jia Dong, hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, had a mocking expression fleeting across his face, "You don’t even know the price of this Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Descending the Mountain vase, one of the top three final auction prices recently, and you dare to claim to be a sage? Really embarrassing. This blue and white Yuan vase, the final hammer price was ninety-three million RMB. Do you really think if you damaged this blue and white Yuan vase, you could afford to compensate for it? Would you even be worth that much if you were sold?"

When Xiao Yifei heard this price, the hand holding the Yuan blue and white vase shook violently, as did his heart.

"Ninety-three million RMB for just this broken vase?"

Xiao Yifei tilted his head to look at the small Yuan blue and white vase in his hand, filled with astonishment. That such a little broken vase could fetch such a price was truly beyond Xiao Yifei’s comprehension of how these wealthy people thought.

Seeing Xiao Yifei’s instantly panicked expression, Jia Dong’s face was full of disdain. Although he didn’t have such assets himself, he frequently dealt with antiques and had seen his fair share of major scenes, so seeing Xiao Yifei’s panic only reinforced Jia Dong’s contempt for him.

"Still calling yourself a master when you’ve never experienced such a situation? What kind of master are you?"

Jia Dong shook his head disdainfully, his sleeves flapping, and hair flying, exuding an immortal-like demeanor.

Cao Heming, seeing Xiao Yifei look this way, also furrowed his brows. He looked at Xiao Yifei, his doubts growing stronger. Just who exactly was Xiao Yifei, appearing ignorant about antiques and still putting on airs? What could possibly be the reason Tan Zhenting saw something in him? Apart from being young and handsome, what qualifications did Xiao Yifei have?

Cao Heming’s eyes filled with curiosity as he looked at Xiao Yifei.

But right now, Xiao Yifei seemed as if he hadn’t noticed the peculiar gazes from those around him nor felt any impact. After hearing Jia Dong reveal the terrifying auction price for the blue and white vase, he hurriedly and carefully placed the Tan Family’s vase on the table, then picked up the one Cao Heming had brought over. This time, however, his movements weren’t quite as cautious.

"Ha! You greenhorn, so cautious with a fake and yet daring enough to pick up the genuine article. Aren’t you afraid of paying for it?"

Jia Dong glanced at Xiao Yifei out of the corner of his eye, his aged face full of scorn.

"Enough, there’s no use in looking at it. You could stare at this item for ten years and not see anything special about it, so stop posing. The appraisal results have already come out, and I have informed the Family Head of Tan as well, he has acknowledged it. The matter is now settled."

With his robes fluttering about, Jia Dong looked like a lofty outsider. He stretched out his hand towards Xiao Yifei, waving him off with evident distaste, "As for you, stay where it’s cool; we are discussing serious matters here, and there’s no place for your comments!"

Xiao Yifei, upon hearing Jia Dong’s words, didn’t get angry; instead, a playful smile appeared on his face. He flipped the vase that Cao Heming had brought over and then said to Jia Dong, "Professor Jia, why is it that I can’t agree with you?"

After Jia Dong had spoken to Xiao Yifei, he turned his head towards Tan Zhenting, intending to put an end to today’s issue. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yifei suddenly spoke up again, causing Jia Dong to whip his head back fiercely, his eyes glaring fixedly at Xiao Yifei.

"Insolent boy! What right do you have to pontificate? What right do you have to chime in? Mind your own business and know your place. Talk less as a newcomer and do more work! What gives you the right to have an opinion? Don’t pretend to be something you’re not; you should be aware of your own limitations. When did I ever allow you to speak?"
