Chapter 319: [319] What do you call me? Old man? _1

Tang Feng had already used the system to scan that woman.

He learned that the woman’s name was Zhong Pan’er, who was 23 years old and had been studying antiques appraisal for over three years.

She was here to take part in the junior appraiser examination today.

Moreover, her master seemed quite formidable, a renowned appraisal master in Zhonghai, Yao Guhuai.

But no matter her identity, she dared to falsely accuse him and Qin Yanan, and he certainly wasn’t going to indulge her.

Although Zhong Pan’er was somewhat intimidated under his pressure, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because just now in the parking lot, she witnessed a scene that she found disgusting.

She saw with her own eyes, that beautiful woman, even prettier than herself, raising her head from his lower body, and there was some sort of liquid coming out of her mouth.

She had even wiped it with a tissue, looking all shy and coy.

At that moment, she recognized that woman—it was Qin Yanan, the owner of Ya Garden.

After all, there were only a few women in the antique circle more beautiful than her, and Qin Yanan was one of them, whom she often kept tabs on.

Initially, she was not sure of Tang Feng’s identity, thinking he was Qin Yanan’s boyfriend.

But upon learning that he was the genius appraiser Tang Feng, who had suddenly made a name for himself in the Zhonghai Antique Circle, she immediately thought of a possibility.

This guy must have gained fame and fortune so quickly by using some indecent means to curry favor with Qin Yanan, who then put in a lot of effort to help him rise to prominence.

This was also the reason why she held such disdain, even disgust, towards Tang Feng.

However, she couldn’t possibly speak of such matters in the parking lot in front of so many people, so she could only snort coldly, “If you haven’t gained your position through publicity stunts, then explain to everyone why you knew nothing about antiques a month ago, but now you’ve become a genius?”

The other contestants also felt her doubt was justified.

Even if he was an unrivaled genius, it was impossible to learn to appraise antiques in just a month, let alone sweep the antique street.

His title as a “genius” was obviously hyped up.

“Yeah, give us an explanation, how did you manage to become the number one genius after a month of studying?”

“Heh, I’ve been studying for several years now and I’m still confused. One month, what a joke.”

“I thought he had been studying for a long time, but it turns out it’s only been a month, isn’t this nonsense?”

“What could you possibly learn in a month? I bet you can’t even recite all the basics, can you?”

“Please give everyone a satisfactory explanation…”

Faced with the crowd’s skepticism, Tang Feng only responded with a cold laugh, “Do I need to explain myself to you? Who do you think you are?”

His answer made everyone more convinced of his lack of authenticity.

“Heh, looks like you can’t explain it, can you? Feeling angry out of embarrassment now?”

“I thought Zhonghai Antique Circle really had a genius, but it turns out to just be someone with an empty reputation.”

“To become famous through hype is truly despicable.”

“I call on everyone to boycott him together. People like him will only bring shame to our antique circle.”

“I wholeheartedly agree…”

Zhong Pan’er looked at Tang Feng with a smirk of triumph.

She wanted to drive out the scoundrel who rose to the top by such underhanded means, to return the antique circle to a clean state.

Just as everyone was bombarding Tang Feng with criticism, an elderly voice suddenly came from not far away, “Mr. Tang, you’re here early?”

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn towards the voice.

They soon saw an old man with white hair and beard, walking briskly towards them.

He appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, but his step was extraordinarily spry, much lighter than that of younger people.

When everyone saw the old man, they all stood up in unison, showing a sincere and fearful demeanor.

In the entire Zhonghai Antique Circle, who wouldn’t recognize the renowned Ouyang Yushan?

This elder was definitely a legendary figure in the antique world.

However, what greatly puzzled the crowd was that they had heard Elder Ouyang had been seriously ill recently, as if he didn’t have much longer to live.

Yet looking at him now, where was the appearance of a dying man? It looked more like he had rejuvenated!

Upon seeing Ouyang Yushan, Zhong Pan’er was extremely shocked as well and hastily greeted him, “Uncle Ouyang, have you recovered?”

Her master, Yao Guhuai, had some relationship with Ouyang Yushan, so her calling him “uncle” was quite proper.

Usually, when Ouyang Yushan saw her, he would at least respond with a smile.

But today was irregular; faced with her greeting, Ouyang Yushan completely ignored her, walking past her and continuing towards the contestants’ seats.

Zhong Pan’er was immediately baffled and wondered what was wrong with Uncle Ouyang today.

But the next scene made her jaw nearly drop.

After Ouyang Yushan bypassed her, he headed straight for Tang Feng, moving so quickly that he stumbled a bit.

Tang Feng hurried to help him stabilize, “Elder Ouyang, slow down, don’t trip over.”

Ouyang Yushan looked somewhat displeased, his aged face drooping, “What did you call me? Elder Ouyang?”

Tang Feng was suddenly at a loss, “After all, in front of so many people, we should consider the impact, right?”

That day when he had gone to Ouyang Yushan’s residence, because he helped treat him, the old man insisted that he call him “Big Bro.”

He had initially refused, but yielding to his persistent demands, he reluctantly agreed.

But that was in private, which was better.

Now in front of so many people, he found it hard to say.

However, Ouyang Yushan was still stern, “What does it matter if there are a lot of people? You don’t recognize me as your Big Bro in front of them?”

Left with no choice, Tang Feng finally called out, “Big Bro Ouyang.”

Only then did Ouyang Yushan’s face light up with a smile, “Ah, that’s more like it, Mr. Tang.”

Their exchanges of “Big Bro Ouyang” and “Mr. Tang” were like dropping a bomb among the people present.

All the contestants looked at the two, their eyes wide with shock.

“Ouyang…Big Bro? Did I… did I hear that right?”

“He actually called Elder Ouyang ‘Big Bro’? And Elder Ouyang agreed?”

“Elder Ouyang is calling him ‘Mr. Tang’? This…why can’t I seem to understand?”

“Can someone tell me, what exactly is going on here?”
