Chapter 426 [426] The antique master was stumped by a broken wooden box

As Ye Feng spoke, he opened the package on the table.

Then the true appearance of the wooden box was revealed.

When everyone heard his words, they were full of expectations.

I thought he could come up with some decent antiques.

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

This wooden box has a dull shape and a black surface, and it doesn't look good at all.

And I can't see any value in it.

Yan Hongcai's face immediately turned ugly. "Boss Ye, you brought a broken wooden box to Master Zhu for appraisal? Are you teasing us?"

Sun Shouyi also showed an embarrassed look on his face.

Seeing that Ye Fan was so confident, he thought he could come up with some treasure.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an ordinary wooden box.

With his eyesight, he couldn't see anything special.

He immediately apologized to everyone at Guzhenfang, "Don't be angry, Boss Ye was just joking with you. For this competition, just consider it that Guzhenfang won."

Hearing what he said, the group of young people in Hu Zhenfang became even more unhappy.

"What are you talking about, Manager Sun? What do you mean even if we win? Didn't we win by relying on our strength?"

"That's right. I gave you a chance, but you're useless. What kind of crap did you come up with?"

"I heard that Maple Leaf Pavilion is one of the three major antique brands in Zhonghai. When I saw it today, I was really disappointed!"

"Especially their boss, he is really too much of a bully, repeatedly teasing Master Zhu, he is not a human being!"

"Master Zhu is the only one with a good temper. If it were anyone else, they would have fallen out with them long ago."

"If they dare to offend Master Zhu, will Maple Leaf Pavilion still have a place in the antique world in the future?"

"Boss Ye, put away your broken wooden box quickly, don't embarrass yourself."

"Yeah, if it gets out, people will laugh at us. A dignified Maple Leaf Pavilion would actually use a broken wooden box to fight. Hahahaha..."

Ye Feng turned a deaf ear to these people's voices and just stared at Zhu Wenkai.

"This is the last question of our Maple Leaf Pavilion. As long as Master Zhu can solve it, our Maple Leaf Pavilion welcomes Guzhenfang to settle in Zhonghai."

As he said that, he glanced at Yan Hongcai and the others and said, "If you can't untie it, go wherever you want!"

When the people from Guzhenfang heard how arrogant he was, they all became furious.

"This kid is too arrogant. Even now, he is still stubborn."

"I think he won't cry until he sees the coffin. Master Zhu, show him some power."

"That's right. Since he brought disgrace upon himself, let's fulfill his wish."

"What's so special about a broken wooden box? Master Zhu can crack it with just one look."

"Today, I will make you, Maple Leaf Pavilion, lose face..."

Yan Hongcai did not respond to Ye Feng directly, but turned to look at Zhu Wenkai.

"Master Zhu, please help me solve this last problem."

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

He had been provoked by Ye Feng several times and was already feeling a little angry. He was just about to suppress this boy's arrogance.

It's just a broken wooden box, isn't it? What's so difficult about it?
With his help, why can't it be captured easily?
But when he cast his eyes on the wooden box, the contempt in his heart immediately disappeared.

Instead, there was a solemn look.

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

One minute.

Two minutes.

three minutes……

Ten minutes passed.

Zhu Wenkai seemed to be under a spell, holding the wooden box and looking at it non-stop. His expression became more and more solemn.

By the end, beads of sweat even appeared on my forehead.

"This... this box is a bit strange..."

He muttered to himself.

It's like a primary school student who encounters a complicated high-level math problem and the confusion in his eyes becomes more and more serious.

Yan Hongcai on the side became a little anxious.

Master Zhu solved those two questions with ease just now.

Why am I so stumped now when faced with a broken wooden box?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Master Zhu, is there anything strange about this box?"

Zhu Wenkai turned a deaf ear to his words.

I tried various methods to open the box.

But in the end all ended in failure.

Finally, he fell down on the chair.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"I have tried my best, but I really can't tell where this box came from!"

There was bitterness in his words.

For a master of antiques like him to admit that his eyesight is not good is more painful than killing him.

When he said this, it was like dropping a bombshell in the hall.

Everyone was fried till crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"What? Even Master Zhu...can't figure out the origin of this box? How is this possible?"

"Yes, Master Zhu's strength is obvious to all of us. He solved two difficult questions easily. How come he failed over a broken wooden box?"

"Master Zhu, please take a closer look. We believe you can crack it."

"That's right, Master Zhu. We believe in your ability. How difficult is it to deal with a broken wooden box?"

The young people in Guzhenfang could not accept this reality and started to speak out.

Sun Shouyi and Lin Qianqian both showed expressions of disbelief.

Zhu Wenkai solved those two questions just now with ease, which was enough to prove that this antique master was absolutely worthy of his reputation.

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

This is definitely an eternal story!
No wonder Ye Feng had vowed before that the third antique would be given to him. It turned out that he came prepared.

I really don't know where this guy got this weird thing from.

Yan Hongcai was also anxious at this time.

If Zhu Wenkai gave up like this, then their Guzhenfang would not be able to enter Zhonghai within three years.

This is absolutely an unbearable loss.

"Master Zhu, is this guy playing tricks? This wooden box is not an antique at all, so you can't tell it?"

He hurriedly gave Zhu Wenkai a hint.

As long as Zhu Wenkai joins him in cheating and refuses to acknowledge Ye Feng's problem.

Given Zhu Wenkai's status in the antique world, no one dared to question him.

In this way, not only can the interests of Guzhenfang be preserved, but also Zhu Wenkai's reputation can be preserved. It is simply the best of both worlds.

Zhu Wenkai is also a veteran.

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

But he still shook his head.

"This time, it is indeed I who lost!"
