Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Genius or Fool!

"What?"

"Who on earth is it?"

"What’s this all about?"

A buzz of surprise swept through the crowd below. Could there be such a treasure appraisal genius other than the one known?

Ouyang Rui’s lips twitched slightly. "Then may I ask, Miss Lin, who exactly is this genius you speak of?"

"The treasure appraisal genius is none other than Young Master Ling Feng at my side," Lin Xian’er said candidly.

Ouyang Rui’s expression changed as he looked at Ling Feng with some surprise.

At this moment, Ling Feng leaned lazily back in his chair, a faint smile playing at his lips, exuding an air of nonchalance.

Judging by his calm demeanor, Lin Xian’er’s words were no falsehood.

"This..." Ouyang Rui was taken aback. The Divine Country Imperial Doctor? A treasure appraisal genius? When these two identities merged, it was indeed shocking.

Such a young Imperial Doctor from the Divine Country was already a rare find in a century, let alone one with such discerning judgement in treasure appraisal. How was this guy’s brain put together!

"That lad is the Imperial Physician from the Divine Country, right? How is he so outstanding in appraisal as well?"

The crowd below started to buzz with excitement. Seasoned appraisers usually needed at least a decade or even decades of experience to be considered skilled, requiring a unique vision and extensive experience.

The field of medical skill was similarly vast and profound, demanding a great deal of time for practice and research.

And Ling Feng, how old was he?

"Perhaps this is what they call a true evil genius!"

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

From the reserved seating area, Jia Lang, seeing Ling Feng stealing the show once again, could hardly hide his envy, gritting his teeth: "Enjoy your moment while you’re still alive, as it won’t be long!"

"So Divine Doctor Ling is not only a distinguished Divine Country Imperial Doctor, but also a master in the field of appraisal!"

Ouyang Rui’s attitude became reverent at once, acknowledging that apart from their ancestor, no one else in the Treasure Pavilion had been able to evaluate the Thunder Cloud Stone, which attested to Ling Feng’s superior level of appraisal, likely even surpassing his own.

In the art of appraisal, the most proficient leads the way, and Ling Feng deserved the title of "master."

"Hmph, even the most skilled appraiser can make a mistake."

The President of the Treasure Appraisal Guild, Lio Xudong, still stood by his own opinion, insisting, "I maintain that the treasure chosen by Ouyang Yu is the true upper grade!"

With Lio Xudong’s statement, the atmosphere once again thickened with tension.

Would it be the young genius Ling Feng with superior skills, or the time-honored and highly respected Old Master Lio Xudong with his old-school expertise?

Lin Xian’er clenched her teeth before finally voicing her opinion, "My view is the same as Ling Feng’s!"

Ouyang Rui nodded, smiling, and continued to question the other distinguished guests in the premier seating.

Those who could sit in such seats were all figures with certain discerning eye power. Although Ling Feng’s reputation as a "treasure appraisal genius" was on the rise, in the end, aside from Ling Feng and Lin Xian’er, everyone else unanimously chose Ouyang Yu.

Ouyang Yu’s face showed a smug look of triumph, "Hmph! I am the favored choice. This time, victory is mine for certain!"

Ouyang Jing, however, clenched his fist tightly, as even he himself had little confidence.

Could Ling Feng really help him turn the tide?

Anyway, from his point of view, the treasure Ling Feng had selected for himself was known by no one, and it didn’t look like a rare treasure at all, but more like a piece of scrap iron.

At the Treasure Pavilion, on the stage of the treasure appraisal conference.

Presider Ouyang Rui slightly raised his hand, smiling as he said, "Well, all the distinguished guests with the ’heaven’ character designation have made their choices. Now, the moment to reveal the final outcome has arrived."

Lin Xian’er couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Ling Feng, only to see that his expression was always calm and collected, as if he had already locked in the victory.

"Hey, Ling Feng, are you really that confident?" Lin Xian’er leaned in close and asked softly.

"I’m about ten percent confident," Ling Feng touched his nose bridge and replied with a faint smile.

Lin Xian’er rolled her eyes. Ten percent confident? Wasn’t that just a hundred percent sure that Ouyang Jing would win!

But, why was he so confident?

By now, Ouyang Rui had already had his servants present all the treasures selected by the Ouyang Family disciples to two senior appraisers. Including Ouyang Rui, the three appraisers appraised them together and recorded the results before returning to the stage.

"The results are out, now I will announce the scores," Ouyang Rui cleared his throat, "First place, the Eight Treasure Ruyi Ring selected by Ouyang Yu."

"Second place, the Golden Jade Glass Bowl selected by Ouyang Xi."

"..."

"Sixth place, the Nameless Black Iron selected by Ouyang Xiu."

As Ouyang Rui announced the results, the audience below was filled with sighs. Some mocked Ouyang Rui for having eyes but failing to see, giving up the second-place Golden Jade Glass Bowl and instead selecting the worst piece of black iron.

Others doubted this so-called "youthful prodigy" Ling Feng, questioning whether this guy really understood appraisal.

Lio Xudong, the Old Master Lio, said with a smile, "Young man, do you understand now? It’s not bad to become famous at a young age, but your mentality still needs to be tempered!"

"Ridiculous, idiot! Hahahaha!" Jia Lang almost laughed himself breathless, "Clear as day, he’s a complete amateur, and yet he’s still boasting in the Treasure Pavilion – it’s just hilarious! He claims to be a treasure appraisal genius we see, but he’s clearly a fool!"

Seeing Ling Feng embarrassed, Jia Lang naturally couldn’t contain his joy.

Ouyang Jing on the stage clenched his fists, he too began to doubt whether Ling Feng had deliberately come to sabotage him.

But they had no grievances or hatred. Why would he want to harm him? Moreover, even if he had chosen the golden jade bowl, he would still be doomed to lose!

As for those skeptical and scoffing voices, Ling Feng remained unmoved, still ever so composed, sitting in his seat with a smile.

Lin Xian’er, hearing this result, couldn’t help but feel worried for Ling Feng. She turned her head to look at Ling Feng and comforted him, "Ling Feng, don’t mind it, you just misjudged for a moment. Who doesn’t make mistakes sometimes?"

"The treasure appraisal isn’t over yet," Ling Feng replied with a light smile, feeling a little warmth in his heart upon seeing the concern on Lin Xian’er’s face.

"How is that possible, the results have already been announced..."

Lin Xian’er bit her lip, muttering softly to herself.

At this moment, Ouyang Rui on the stage said with a smile, "It seems the results are quite clear now, the person who has won tonight’s treasure appraisal conference is Ouyang Yu!"

The audience below exploded in discussion, surprised that the outstandingly capable Ouyang Jing had stumbled this time, suffering a resounding defeat!

"Hahahaha..." Just then, a faint mocking laughter arose, it was Ling Feng from the heavenly seat number six, tauntingly saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, I think the Treasure Pavilion of the Ouyang Family is probably not far from closing its doors."

As those words were spoken, pairs of sharp eyes all fixed on Ling Feng. Even Ouyang Rui’s gaze turned somewhat frosty.

Even if Ling Feng had a close relationship with Ouyang Bo Feng, to say such disrespectful words was quite excessive!

Ouyang Rui’s smile on his face became rigid, replaced by a hint of anger, "Divine Doctor Ling, aren’t you taking losing too poorly? Even if you are the Divine Country Imperial Physician, you should not be so impetuous in my Treasure Pavilion!"

Ling Feng, serene and composed, picked up his teacup, took a leisurely sip, and said indifferently, "Ignorance isn’t to be feared, what’s dreadful is not realizing one’s own ignorance!"
