Chapter 13
“What’s that?” However, at this moment, a surprised cry came from behind the crowd.
Meanwhile, an elderly man dressed in a Tang suit walked over with a shocked expression, staring intently at the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad in Ye Feng’s hand with an exaggerated look on his face.
“Elder Tang?” The few guys who were mocking earlier were stunned upon seeing him.
Elder Tang, a known figure in the antique circle, may not be as formidable as Xu Tong, but he’s not far off.
Anything that passes through his hands is either real or fake, and he never makes a mistake.
“Uncle Tang, what are you doing here?” Xu Kun was about to find trouble with those guys, but upon seeing Elder Tang, he quickly approached him with a smile.
Seeing Xu Kun, Elder Tang asked with a smile, “Little guy, how’s your grandfather?”
“Not too well.” Xu Kun shook his head, then pointed to the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad in Ye Feng’s hand, asking, “By the way, what did you say this is?”
“Young man, can I take a look?” Elder Tang asked Ye Feng, staring at him.
“Of course.” Ye Feng nodded and handed the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad to Elder Tang.
“This item has already been appraised by Elder Xu Tong, who said it’s the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad.” Ye Feng introduced as Elder Tang examined it.
“That’s right… This item is indeed Shen Wansan’s Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad, no doubt about it!” After assessing it, Elder Tang confirmed its identity.
“What? Shen Wansan’s Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad? Isn’t that extremely valuable?”
“Holy shit! We were calling others idiots without realizing we were the ones ignorant of this artifact.”
After hearing Elder Tang’s words, the two guys who mocked earlier bowed their heads in shame, wishing they could find a hole to hide in.
In the end, seeing that Ye Feng and his group were not to be messed with, they turned to leave in embarrassment, lest Xu Kun beat them up.
Not only them, even Xu Kun was stunned: “Holy shit! Is this really Shen Wansan’s treasure?”
To be honest, he regretted it now.
Originally, he thought Ye Feng was bluffing him, but he didn’t expect this to be such a priceless treasure.
And Ye Feng initially planned to leave it with him, but he foolishly refused, now regretting his decision deeply.
“Of course!” Elder Tang nodded, then looked at Ye Feng and asked with a smile, “Are you willing to sell this item?”
“Yes, as long as the price is right, I’ll sell it.” Ye Feng replied without hesitation, nodding.
The most significant part of the Golden Toad was the golden glow, which Ye Feng had already absorbed. Now that he could make some money, why wouldn’t he?
“Brother, I’ll buy it, sell it to me!” As soon as Ye Feng expressed willingness to sell, Xu Kun immediately had an idea.
Joking aside, this is Shen Wansan’s treasured item.
If he bought it, wouldn’t he become as wealthy as Shen Wansan?
“This item is really hard to appraise!” Elder Tang said with a troubled look at the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad.
Indeed, while it’s a valuable item, there are people willing to buy it regardless of the price.
However, the value of this item is not entirely clear, nor is it easy to sell it.
So, the price is a big issue.
If the price is too low, Ye Feng certainly won’t sell it, but if it’s too high, over ten million, they would have to reconsider.
“Forget it, I’ll let it go cheap for you, I’m leaving now.” Then, Elder Tang left with a smile.
The item is great, but he clearly couldn’t afford it.
Though Elder Tang is a prominent collector, he isn’t as wealthy as many business owners.
However, before leaving, Elder Tang left Ye Feng his contact information, seemingly very interested in Ye Feng.
“Brother, let me show you the world.” After Elder Tang left, Xu Kun stopped mentioning the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad.
“Not buying it?” Ye Feng was a bit puzzled.
“I can’t afford it now, unless my dad comes over.” Xu Kun shook his head helplessly.
Xu Kun took Ye Feng into a luxury club.
It’s a membership system; without a membership, you can’t get in.
Moreover, once inside, numerous people had already gathered in the grandest hall.
Ye Feng casually glanced around and found it was full of renowned figures from Jiangcheng.
None of them were people Ye Feng could afford to provoke.
“Young Master Xu! You’re here?”
“Young Master Xu, why did you just arrive?”
As Xu Kun arrived, everyone nodded and bowed, warmly greeting him.
While exchanging pleasantries with them, Xu Kun didn’t forget to introduce Ye Feng, “This is Ye Feng, my brother.”
“So it’s Young Master Ye, I toast to you.”
“Young Master Ye, I’ve finished my drink, you may do as you like.”
Upon hearing Xu Kun’s introduction, these high-profile figures warmly toasted with Ye Feng, trying to please him.
This was something Ye Feng could never have imagined before, that he could make so many influential people treat him so politely.
Of course, Ye Feng knew he was basking in the glory of the Xu Family and Xu Kun.
However, Ye Feng quickly bonded with them, becoming outwardly familiar with them, and exchanged contact information with all of them.
“Let’s go… The auction is about to start, let me show you around.” Halfway through the banquet, Xu Kun tapped Ye Feng’s shoulder to signal.
Xu Kun’s main purpose for coming here was the auction.
Under Xu Kun’s guidance, Ye Feng arrived at a large auction hall, which was already filled with people.
Xu Kun took Ye Feng and sat in the front row directly.
“Yo! Isn’t this Scumbag Kun? You’re here too?” At this moment, a young man sat next to Xu Kun, smiling as he greeted him.
On the surface, this guy seemed harmless, but his expression showed he wasn’t friendly.
Upon seeing the person, Xu Kun chuckled with a sneer and retorted, “Asshole Jie! If you can come, why can’t I? Is the auction hosted by your family?”
Ryi Jie feigned surprise and exaggeratedly answered, “Wow! How did you know? My family holds 60% of the stake in the club.”
“Damn you!” Xu Kun cursed angrily and ignored him further.
Because what Ryi Jie said was true; Xu Kun just didn’t remember it right away.
As the two glared at each other, the auction officially began.
Ryi Jie and Xu Kun were both among Jiangcheng’s famed four young masters, and they’ve never gotten along, so it’s not surprising to Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng was particularly looking forward to the auction.
With such a grand auction in the club, there must be a lot of great items. Even if he can’t afford them, he can gain some insight.
Sure enough, as the auction started, Ye Feng was astonished.
The first item brought up for auction was a painting by a famous artist, with a starting bid of one million.
And this painting by the renowned artist is worth at least five million.
Starting with such a great item made Ye Feng even more excited.
Who knows if something Ye Feng desires will appear; if something emerges that could enhance his cultivation base, he would borrow money to buy it…
