Chapter 55: Chapter 55 In my eyes, you are nothing but a fart

Most of the attendees at the Treasure Appraisal Conference were antique enthusiasts, and the appraisal process was very slow.

After Chen Fan finished appraising in ten minutes, he stood to the side, silently circulating the "Void Body Refining Skills" as he cultivated.

Xu Xin mocked, "That guy is still standing there like a wooden post. If he gets first place, then I’ve really seen it all."

Qin Lan felt inexplicably happy, her smiling face showing even more delight, "I seriously wonder what Miss Su sees in him; I’m starting to suspect her IQ is below average."

An hour later.

Li Chenghao approached Qin Lan and Xu Xin with a smile on his face, "This treasure appraisal competition was much simpler than I thought. If I’m not wrong, I should have judged everything correctly this time."

Xu Xin quickly took the paper from Li Chenghao’s hands and glanced at it, "Authentic items: 41, fakes: 59. There’s a total of one hundred antiques on that shelf?"

Li Chenghao nodded.

Xu Xin hugged Li Chenghao’s arm with anticipation, "Darling, I’m counting on you to really show Chen Fan up later!"

Li Chenghao smiled proudly, "Don’t worry."

He sneakily glanced at Qin Lan, who shyly cast him a subtle flirtatious look, unnoticed by Xu Xin.

Before long, everyone present had completed their appraisals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please write your names on your papers and hand them in," Ma Zhen said.

Everyone did as they were told.

"Next, my people will judge your appraisals. One point for each antique, and if you appraise correctly, you’ll get an additional point. The final ranking will be based on the scores."

It wasn’t long before Ma Zhen’s people had graded all the appraisal results.

Ma Zhen moved to the front of the group.

Everyone quieted down.

Xu Xin, somewhat excitedly, grabbed Li Chenghao’s hand, "They’re about to announce the results."

Qin Lan glanced at Chen Fan and noted his calm face, sneering inwardly, "Is it because he knows he couldn’t guess many correctly and has given up?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final results are in. I will only announce the top three. The rest will be sent back individually," Ma Zhen began.

"Mr. Zhou Yuan, 91 points!"

An elder emerged from the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wu Xiutong, 91 points!"

A middle-aged man excitedly stood up.

The crowd showed some surprise.

"I didn’t expect there to be a tie."

"With second and third both at 91 points, I wonder how many points first place got."

...

Xu Xin looked at Li Chenghao, "Darling, only first place is left. Are you confident?"

Li Chenghao took a deep breath, "Rest assured, I’m very confident in my abilities."

Ma Zhen continued to announce.

"Mr. Li Chenghao, one hundred points!"

"Yay!" Xu Xin jumped up excitedly, "Darling, you’re amazing, a perfect score!"

Li Chenghao’s face showed pride as his lips curved slightly upward.

The crowd all turned to look their way, faces filled with astonishment.

"This young man actually got a hundred points, that’s just incredible!"

"He even managed to appraise all the antiques on the shelf correctly. Zhou Yuan is a seasoned treasure appraiser, and even he was mistaken on a few. This guy is truly impressive."

"It seems this person truly deserves to be the first."

...

Xu Xin walked up to Chen Fan with pride, "Weren’t you all capable before! Why aren’t you jumping around now? My boyfriend identified all the antiques without a single mistake, and you? You didn’t even make it into the top three!"

Qin Lan also walked over, looking down at Chen Fan with an air of superiority, "You’re still the same worthless trash!"

Li Chenghao also glanced at Chen Fan with contempt, "Didn’t you say you would get first place? Seems like you were just farting, weren’t you?"

Chen Fan calmly looked at the three of them without saying a word.

Xu Xin ran up to Ma Zhen, "Hurry up and give us the first-place prize. I want to give it to my bestie as a gift!"

Ma Zhen glanced at Xu Xin, "Miss, please be quiet for a moment, I haven’t finished announcing."

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Everyone present turned their attention back to Ma Zhen.

"You haven’t finished announcing? But there are already three people, what else is there to announce?" someone questioned, puzzled.

Ma Zhen spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me clarify that Mr. Zhou Yuan and Mr. Wu Xiutong are tied for third place. Mr. Li Chenghao is in second place, and I have not yet announced the first place."

"What!" Xu Xin’s eyes widened, "My boyfriend got a perfect score, why is he only second place? There must be some scandal in this competition!"

Li Chenghao too stood behind Xu Xin, furious.

Ma Zhen glanced at Xu Xin, speechless, "Who told you a perfect score is a hundred? I only said that one point is added for each correct appraisal."

Then, he raised his voice, "Now, I will announce the winner of the first place."

"Mr. Chen Fan, 101 points!"

A smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face as he walked up to the crowd.

Everyone looked at Chen Fan incredulously, completely unprepared for the possibility that there would be someone with 101 points.

Li Chenghao’s face showed disbelief, "There were clearly only a hundred antiques on the shelf, but you gave him 101 points. What do you mean by this? I think his first place is nothing but bought with money!"

Xu Xin seconded: "That’s right! Chen Fan is a complete waste. How would he know about appraising treasures? He’s just a gigolo relying on Miss Su. Perhaps this entire treasure appraisal conference was held just to build up his reputation!"

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Ma Zhen coldly snorted at Li Chenghao and Xu Xin, "If you lack the ability, don’t come here slandering our Treasure Pavilion."

"Even if he really knows how to appraise treasures, then tell me, where did this extra point come from?" Xu Xin demanded aggressively.

Ma Zhen began to explain: "There were indeed only a hundred antiques on the shelf, but as I said, it’s about appraising all the antiques in the hall!"

"This proves that Mr. Chen Fan is the real master here. He’s the only one who noticed the existence of another antique beyond those on the shelves!"

"This is also why I asked you to write down the number of antiques!"

Li Chenghao frowned, "There’s nothing else in this hall except these shelves, where could there be another antique?"

Ma Zhen looked at Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen Fan, you tell him."

Chen Fan, smiling, walked up to Ma Zhen, took the small teapot from his hand, and showed it to everyone, "It’s this!"

Ma Zhen added with a smile: "A Purple Clay Xishi Pot from the Ming Dynasty, middle period, one of my all-time favorite treasures."

Realization dawned on everyone as they began to admire Chen Fan.

"So that’s it, I can’t believe I didn’t notice it. Indeed, Mr. Chen Fan has a discerning eye."

"Truly, he’s the genuine treasure appraising master!"

Li Chenghao and Xu Xin were stunned.

Qin Lan’s expression was one of shock, her lips turned pale, and she felt more choked up than ever before.

Chen Fan walked up to Li Chenghao and his group, glanced over all three of them, and said as though addressing Li Chenghao and all three at the same time, "In my eyes, you’re nothing but a fart!"
