Chapter 308 - 308 A G.o.d-Like Existence
308 A G.o.d-Like Existence
As Mei Donghai spoke, he hurriedly took out a magnifying gla.s.s that he carried with him and began to observe it carefully.
As the time pa.s.sed, the expression on his face became more and more surprised.
In the end…
He was drenched in sweat and his face was pale.
Then, he sat on the ground.
“It’s actually… It’s actually an authentic work? It’s actually authentic?”
Kong Liansheng hurriedly took the magnifying gla.s.s and leaned in front of the painting to study it.
He did not miss a single detail.
In the end, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
“It’s actually authentic? It’s actually an authentic work? Oh my G.o.d!”
Lu Xiaoya, who was also standing at the front, saw the expressions of the two people who had seen a ghost.
She was instantly confused. “What authentic work?”
Mei Donghai’s eyes went blank as he muttered, “Lady Guo… The authentic Spring Tour painting…”
His voice trembled violently. It was obvious how agitated he was.
It was hard to imagine that an antique master like him would lose his composure like this.
“What is the painting of Lady Guo’s Spring Tour?”
Lu Xiaoya was still dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it just a painting? Was there a need to be so scared?
She didn’t understand.
However, the people who were watching the show immediately exploded.
“What? Did I hear wrongly? The painting of Lady Guo’s Spring Tour? Authentic? Are you kidding me?”
“Yeah, how is that possible? The original of this painting has long been lost. Where did the original come from?”
“That’s right. The only thing that exists now is a copy from the Song Dynasty. The original has long been lost. How can there be an original?”
“If it’s really an authentic painting, how much is it worth? 100 million? 200 million?”
“You’re thinking too much. If it really is the painting of Lady Guo’s Spring Tour, then it’s a national treasure and a priceless treasure.”
“Great Master Mei must have seen wrongly, right? How could such a divine work appear so easily? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Although everyone was doubtful, they still rushed over like a tide.
Seeing this, Mei Donghai hurriedly got up from the ground.
“Aiya, I saw wrongly just now. This isn’t an authentic work at all. It was just a Qing Dynasty replica. The level of the person who copied it is very high. He almost deceived me, hahaha…”
Kong Liansheng, who was at the side, had yet to react. “Master, this is clearly…”
Mei Donghai immediately glared at him.
Kong Liansheng immediately reacted.
Now, the entire antique street was a mess.
If they really knew that the original painting of Lady Guo’s Spring Tour, which had been lost for a thousand years, had reappeared.
It was hard to guarantee that no one would harbor ill intentions.
As the saying goes, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of holding a treasure.
100,000 yuan was enough to make people envious.
1 million yuan was enough to make people work for it.
10 million yuan could make people crazy and lose their humanity.
This was a truly priceless treasure.
It could not be measured with money.
Who knew what kind of chaos it would cause?
That was why Mei Donghai said that.
“This imitation of the painting of Lady Guo’s Spring Tour is indeed exquisite. I was almost fooled. Master, how much do you think this painting is worth?”
Kong Liansheng immediately played along.
“I think this painting should be worth 5 to 6 million.”
Mei Donghai pretended to ponder for a moment and made a bid.
The crowd that was rushing over immediately stopped.
“Hey, so it’s an imitation? I knew it. How could an authentic work appear so easily?”
“I was so excited for nothing. I thought that I would be able to witness the reappearance of this masterpiece.”
“Although it’s an imitation, 5 to 6 million is already a very high price.”
“Yeah, after all, it was only bought for 1 million. In the blink of an eye, it has increased by five or six times. It’s already very good.”
“It’s a pity that it’s not an authentic work. Otherwise, it would definitely be a big piece of news that would shake the entire country!”
“Be content. You’re still not happy after increasing it by five or six times? How many businesses in this world can earn money so quickly?”
“That’s true…”
Mei Donghai and Kong Liansheng’s performance dispelled everyone’s greed.
It had to be said that Mei Donghai was very wise.
If he said that this painting was worthless…
It was definitely impossible to dispel everyone’s doubts.
And the estimated price of 5 to 6 million was no more or less.
Although it was enough to make many people jealous.
However, it was not to the extent that they would take the risk in public.
He was just right.
Ye Feng was very grateful for this.
He really did not consider it at that time.
He actually took out this peerless painting in front of everyone.
Now that he thought about it, he felt a lingering fear.
If it wasn’t for Mei Donghai and his disciple covering for him…
The consequences were simply unimaginable.
“Thank you, Mr. Mei. Even if it’s an imitation, I’m very satisfied.”
He immediately cupped his fists at Mei Donghai.
“Mr. Ye, your eyesight is indeed extraordinary. I really admire you,” Mei Donghai praised sincerely.
He admired this young man to the extreme.
To actually be able to pick up such a shocking treasure like the painting of Lady Guo’s Spring Tour.
He was simply a G.o.d-like existence.
He really wanted to ask Ye Feng for advice now.
How did Ye Feng know that there was a painting hidden in the fake?
Did he have x-ray vision?
This was too unbelievable.
However, Mei Donghai knew that now was not the time to ask about this.
He could only talk about it in the future.
Kong Liansheng who was at the side was also full of admiration toward Ye Feng.
There was no longer any hatred in his heart.
He immediately bowed and stepped forward.
“Mr. Ye, I finally know what it means to have eyes but not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive my ignorance. At the same time, I will fulfill the bet and withdraw from the antique world.”
Ye Feng heard Kong Liansheng’s words and waved his hand.
“Forget about quitting the antique world, right? If a talent like Mr. Kong withdraws just like that, it will be a great loss to the antique world.”
“But…”
Kong Liansheng wanted to say something more.
Ye Feng immediately interrupted him.
“There’s no deep hatred between us. If the antique world loses a talent like Mr. Kong because of this, I will feel guilty too.”
Mei Donghai also spoke.
“Since Mr. Ye is so magnanimous, don’t be so pretentious. As long as you learn from your mistakes, don’t make the same mistake again.”
Kong Liansheng looked at Ye Feng gratefully: “Thank you Mr. Ye for letting bygones be bygones, Kong Liansheng is extremely grateful.”
Mei Donghai then said with a deeper meaning, “Then we master and disciple will take our leave first. Mr. Ye, you’d better leave as soon as possible. Don’t stay.”
With that, he left with Kong Liansheng.
Ye Feng naturally understood the meaning behind his words.
He knew that the longer he stayed here, the greater the danger.
He immediately put away the peerless painting and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the surrounding people gathered around again.
