Chapter 348 - 348 It's Over Before It Begins
348 It’s Over Before It Begins
When Ye Feng heard Kong Liansheng’s name, his expression became strange.
Even a defeated opponent like him could be called a ‘master’?
When Sun Ke saw his expression, he was a little unhappy. “What? You know Master Kong too?”
Ye Feng coughed dryly: “I know him, but I’m not too familiar with him. However, I am quite familiar with his master, Mei Donghai.”
Pfft…
Lin Qianqian, who was drinking tea, spat it out.
The others were also stunned.
Wasn’t this guy too good at pretending?
Master Kong was already a famous figure in the antique world.
Not to mention his master, Mei Donghai.
That was definitely an existence like Mount Tai and the Big Dipper.
And Ye Feng actually said that he knew Grand Master Mei?
Wasn’t this too ridiculous?
Sun Ke’s expression suddenly turned ugly.
“Ye Feng, you don’t have to spout nonsense just to suppress me, right? You said you know Grand Master Mei? You can’t brag like this!”
Lin Qianqian wanted to defend Ye Feng.
However, she really did not know how to explain it.
This time, even she felt that Ye Feng was bragging to spite Sun Ke.
He was just a student. How could he know people from the antique circle?
Not to mention an existence at Grand Master Mei’s level.
It was impossible!
The other three girls also felt that Ye Feng’s actions were a little childish.
A mature man must first admit that others were stronger than him.
He lied to gain some face.
It was too childish.
Ye Feng was too lazy to explain anything to them.
Knowing Mei Donghai wasn’t something to brag about.
Instead, it was Mei Donghai who should feel honored to know him.
But he didn’t explain, so the others thought that he was lying.
Sun Ke immediately seized the opportunity and admonished him in the tone of an experienced person, “Young man, lying is not a good habit. You have to be careful in the future.”
Lin Qianqian quickly tried to ease the awkwardness: “Ye Feng was just joking, don’t take it seriously.”
Sun Ke was about to continue lecturing him.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the caller ID, he hurriedly picked up the call.
“Master Kong, you’ve arrived, right? Alright, alright. I’ll come out to pick you up now.”
After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly called out to Lin Qianqian, “Master Kong has arrived. Let’s go out and welcome him.”
Lin Qianqian stood up hurriedly and followed him out.
Ye Feng did not move. He was still drinking his tea slowly.
After a moment, he heard footsteps approaching.
“Master Kong, I ordered a pot of Biluochun for you. You should like it.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll just come over and take my leave. I still have to participate in a treasure appraisal TV show in the afternoon.”
“Wow, those who can participate in such a program must be the top masters in the antique world. Master Kong is indeed amazing.”
“Don’t say that. Actually, I’m still lacking in antiques. I still have a lot to learn.”
“Master Kong is really too humble. If even you have many shortcomings, then others are even less worth mentioning.”
The two of them chatted as they walked into the private room.
Sun Ke saw that Ye Feng was still sitting there drinking tea and was a little unhappy. “Master Kong is here. Why don’t you stand up and welcome him? How rude.”
Ye Feng could only put down the teacup. He stood up and looked at Kong Liansheng. “Welcome, Master Kong.”
Kong Liansheng had his hands behind his back and was putting on airs.
When he saw Ye Feng, his eyes widened.
He thought that he was seeing things.
He rubbed his eyes.
“Ma… Master Ye? It’s really you?”
When the people present heard his words, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Master Ye?
This… What was going on?
Sun Ke looked at Kong Liansheng in a daze. “Master Kong, you… Why do you call him Master Ye?”
Kong Liansheng looked at Ye Feng respectfully. “Previously, because I was ignorant, I provoked Master Ye. Master Ye personally gave me some pointers. Only then did I realize my mistake. Although he isn’t my master, he is more like my master.”
When everyone heard his explanation, they were even more shocked.
Ye Feng personally guided Master Kong?
Master Kong had a high status in the antique world.
What kind of person was qualified to guide him?
Lin Qianqian looked at Ye Feng dumbfoundedly.
She was unable to regain her senses for a long time.
Kong Liansheng looked at Sun Ke unhappily. “Director Sun, this is your fault.”
Sun Ke asked carefully, “What’s wrong?”
Kong Liansheng was a little angry. “Since you know a master like Mr. Ye, why did you invite me here? Are you humiliating me?”
Sun Ke was dumbfounded. “Could it be… Is he better at antiques than you?”
Kong Liansheng looked at Ye Feng respectfully. “With my meager cultivation, I am not even fit of carrying his shoes. How dare I call myself a master?”
This made everyone present even more incredulous.
To be able to make Master Kong say something like ‘not even fit to carry his shoes’.
Then how terrifying was Ye Feng’s strength?
Kong Liansheng cupped his hands at Ye Feng. “Master Ye, if I knew that you were here, I wouldn’t have dared to pretend to be a ‘master’ even if I was beaten to death. Please forgive me.”
After saying that, he turned around and glared at Sun Ke.
He left without looking back.
Sun Ke stood rooted to the ground.
His mind went blank.
What was going on?
He had already lost face in the ‘duel’ with Ye Feng.
He had wanted to use Master Kong’s hands to win back a city.
He had never expected this.
It had already ended before it even started.
He just wanted to act cool in front of Lin Qianqian. Why was it so difficult?
Lin Qianqian was also dumbfounded.
She had been in contact with Ye Feng for so long. She thought that she knew him very well.
However, she did not expect him to give her such a big surprise.
Or rather, she was frightened.
Ye Feng actually knew about antiques?
Even the famous Master Kong fled at the sight of Ye Feng.
How terrifying would that be?
The three girls beside him also looked at Ye Feng with infatuated expressions.
When he said that he knew Grand Master Mei earlier…
They thought that he was bragging for the sake of his face.
They even felt that the other party was too childish.
Only now did they know.
It wasn’t that he was childish.
It was because his strength had already exceeded their imagination.
Just like what Ye Feng said, a frog at the bottom of a well would never be able to imagine how big the ground was and how high the sky was.
How sad and laughable.
Ye Feng felt a little awkward being stared at like he was a monster.
“Don’t look at me like that. Actually, I’m just an ordinary person.”
