426 An Antique Master Stumped by a Broken Wooden Box

Ye Feng spoke as he opened the package on the table.

Then, the true appearance of the wooden box was revealed.

When everyone heard his words, they were filled with antic.i.p.ation.

They thought that he would be able to take out some decent antique.

When they saw the wooden box, everyone was immediately disappointed.

The wooden box was dull, and its surface was black. It did not look good.

Moreover, they could not see any value in it.

Yan Hongcai’s expression immediately turned ugly. “Boss Ye, you brought a broken wooden box for Grand Master Zhu to appraise? Is he playing with us?”

An awkward expression appeared on Sun Shouyi’s face.

He originally saw that Ye Fan was so confident and thought that he could take out some treasure.

He did not expect it to be an ordinary wooden box.

With his eyesight, he could not see anything special at all.

He immediately apologized to everyone in the Ancient Treasure Workshop, “Everyone, don’t be angry. Boss Ye was just joking with everyone. This compet.i.tion will be considered the Ancient Treasure Workshop’s victory.”

Hearing his words, the group of young men from Ancient Treasure Workshop became even more unhappy.

“Manager Sun, what are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘consider it’? Didn’t we win with our own strength?”

“That’s right. I gave you a chance, but you’re useless. What kind of c.r.a.ppy things did you take out?”

“I heard that Maple Leaf Pavilion is one of the top three antique stores in Zhonghai.”

“Especially their boss. He’s really too much of a bully. He’s been teasing Grand Master Zhu time and time again.”

“Only Grand Master Zhu has a good temper. If it were anyone else, they would have fallen out with them long ago.”

“How dare they offend Grand Master Zhu? Will Maple Leaf Pavilion still have a place in the antique world in the future?”

“Boss Ye, quickly put away your broken wooden box. Don’t embarra.s.s yourself.”

“That’s right. If word gets out, it’ll be a joke. The dignified Maple Leaf Pavilion actually used a broken wooden box to fight. Hahaha..”

Ye Feng turned a deaf ear to their voices, he only stared at Zhu Wenkai.

As he said that, he glanced at Yan Hongcai and the others. “If you can’t solve it, you can go somewhere else!”

When the people from the Ancient Treasure Workshop heard him being so arrogant, they were all furious.

“This kid is too arrogant. Even now, he’s still stubborn.”

“I think he won’t shed tears until he sees the coffin. Grand Master Zhu, show him what’s good for him.”

“That’s right. Since he’s asking for humiliation, we’ll fulfill his wish.”

“What’s so special about a broken wooden box? Grand Master Zhu can solve it with just a glance.”

“Today, we will make your Maple Leaf Pavilion lose all face…”

Yan Hongcai did not retort Ye Feng directly. He turned to look at Zhu Wenkai.

“Grand Master Zhu, then I’ll have to ask you to solve this last question.”

Zhu Wenkai glanced at Ye Feng and immediately went forward to check.

He had been provoked by Ye Feng several times, and he was already furious. He wanted to suppress this brat’s arrogance.

Wasn’t it just a broken wooden box? What was so difficult about that?

With him taking action, was he not at ease?

However, when he looked at the wooden box, the contempt in his heart immediately disappeared.

What replaced it was a solemn expression.

He hurriedly picked up the wooden box and examined it carefully.

One minute.

Two minutes later.

Three minutes…

Ten minutes pa.s.sed.

Zhu Wenkai seemed to have been immobilized as he kept looking at the wooden box.

His expression became more and more solemn.

In the end, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“This… This box is a little strange…” he muttered to himself.

He was like a primary school student who was faced with a complicated advanced math problem. The confusion in his eyes became more and more intense.

Yan Hongcai, who was at the side, was a little anxious.

When Grand Master Zhu solved those two questions just now, he did it with ease.

Why was he stumped by a broken wooden box?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, “Grand Master Zhu, is there something strange about this box?”

Zhu Wenkai ignored his words.

He tried all kinds of methods to open the box.

But in the end, they all ended in failure.

In the end, he fell onto the chair.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.

“This old man… He tried his best, but he really can’t tell the origin of this box!”

There was bitterness in his words.

To make a great antique master like him admit that his eyesight was bad was worse than killing him.

The moment he said this, it was as if he had dropped a heavy bomb in the hall.

Everyone was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

“What is it? Even Grand Master Zhu… He couldn’t even tell the origin of this box? How is this possible?”

“That’s right. We’ve all witnessed Grand Master Zhu’s strength. He solved two difficult questions with ease. How did he stumble on a broken wooden box?”

“Grand Master Zhu, please take a closer look. We believe that you will definitely be able to crack it.”

“That’s right, Grand Master Zhu. We believe in your strength. What’s so difficult about a broken wooden box?”

The young people of the Ancient Treasure Workshop couldn’t accept this reality and spoke up one after another.

Sun Shouyi and Lin Qianqian also revealed expressions of disbelief.

When Zhu Wenkai solved the two questions just now, it was easy. It was enough to prove that this antique master definitely lived up to his reputation.

At this moment, the antique master was stumped by a broken wooden box.

This was definitely an ancient legend!

No wonder Ye Feng said that he would give the third antique to him. It turned out that he came prepared.

He really didn’t know where this guy got this strange thing from.

Yan Hongcai was also anxious.

If Zhu Wenkai admitted defeat, Ancient Treasure Workshop would not be able to enter Zhonghai for the next three years.

This was definitely an unbearable loss.

“Grand Master Zhu, is this kid behind this? This wooden box is not an antique at all, so you can’t tell?” he hurriedly hinted to Zhu Wenkai.

As long as Zhu Wenkai was willing to play along with him and refuse to admit Ye Feng’s problem…

With Zhu Wenkai’s status in the antique world, no one would dare to question him.

This way, not only would he be able to preserve Ancient Treasure Workshop’s profits, he would also be able to preserve his reputation. It was the best of both worlds.

Zhu Wenkai was also a veteran.

How could he not hear the hidden meaning behind his words?

But he still shook his head.

“This time, this old man has indeed lost!”
