Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, First Update

"Senior Sister, have you forgotten what I used to do? Even hundreds of meters away, I could hear everything clearly, even a mosquito flying by," Chen Wei said with a faint smile.

"Sure, keep bragging about hundreds of meters away..." Su Yumei seldom inquired about the things Chen Wei did privately, so she wasn’t as aware as Guan Shanyue or Leng Qianqian.

"Senior Sister, let’s not talk about that. About you wearing a Bunny Girl costume for me, was that for real?" Chen Wei asked for confirmation again and again.

"When you start listening and stop being so childish, we’ll talk," Su Yumei said, her gaze shifting evasively.

"Am I not obedient enough now?" Chen Wei asked back.

"Being obedient means watching the exhibition quietly," Su Yumei coughed.

"Okay, fine." For the Bunny Girl’s sake, Chen Wei calmed down, stopped pestering Su Yumei, and returned his gaze to the stage.

This little rascal... he’s serious!

Su Yumei started to become a bit indecisive.

She hesitated about whether or not to fulfill Chen Wei’s dream.

Suddenly, there came a burst of noisy excitement from downstairs.

Curious, Su Yumei looked down to find that a treasure worth hundreds of millions was on display!

"My god! Isn’t this the Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix that was bought by a mysterious buyer for 230 million?"

"I never thought I’d actually get to see it with my own eyes in a place like this. It’s beautiful, truly stunning."

"It seems like this exhibit will unquestionably be the number one."

...

Hearing the discussions and the sounds of amazement from downstairs, old man Xu Wenshan in VIP room 208 on the second floor stroked his beard, feeling very pleased, "With the Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix on display, which other gemstone could possibly rival its brilliance?"

"Wen’er, do you think I’m being a bit too harsh on them?" The old man looked up to the bodyguard standing by his side.

"They should be thankful that you, my lord, have given them a chance to broaden their horizons," Li Wen’er said, expressing his thoughts.

"That’s true, that’s true," The old man was clearly satisfied with the answer, "It’s just a pity it went on stage too early. If it had been the grand finale, their expressions would have been even more vivid."

"It’s a shame for those other contestants following after. Under the presence of my Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, no matter how exquisite their works, they’ll all pale in comparison," he said with supreme confidence.

He couldn’t imagine any gemstone creation present that could surpass the Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.

Su Yumei, on the other hand, had a completely different opinion, "It is pretty, but when compared to Junior Brother Chen, it still falls far short."

She might not understand jade, but she could still discern superior from inferior.

She was just waiting for the two pieces that Chen Wei had personally carved to be drawn and shown to everyone, so they could truly appreciate what a masterpiece looks like!

Number thirteen, eight, five, twenty-four...

As the seconds and minutes ticked by, the number of remaining pieces available for display grew fewer and fewer.

After the Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix was shown, the audience’s standards rose, making everything else seem mundane and uninspiring.

All eyes were locked on the Colorful Phoenix, regretting that a second could not be stretched to double its time. Who could spare a thought for anything else?

"Number eighteen, next up, we have two pieces collected and personally carved by the master artist, Chen Yumei," the host introduced.

"Chen Yumei? Who’s that?"

"These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to call themselves a master. It’s shameless bragging indeed."

"Tell me about it. I’ve been in the gemstone circle for so long and have never heard of a master named Chen Yumei."

"No need to guess, it must be someone who got in through connections. Seeing all the significant players here today, they must want to make a name for themselves. There are too many people like that; I’m used to it by now."

"They can only say their luck is really bad to have gone after the Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix. Without comparison, there’s no harm," the conversation ended on a note of collective skepticism.

...

Murmurs of all sorts grew louder and louder, and the host got a bit flustered, hurriedly asking someone to open the small box and take out the jade token to start the introduction, "This is a jade token with a tortoise and crane longevity theme..."

Once the jade token was revealed, the doubtful voices suddenly quieted down a bit.

"Hiss! This looks like something special!"

"It’s more than special—from such a distance, I can feel the tortoise and crane almost coming to life, as if they are about to leap out of the jade token."

"Such carving skills, absolutely incredible!"

"Chen Yumei, could it be that I have truly overlooked a master? No, I must look into this immediately."

...

On the second floor in the private room.

Like the others, the elder’s eyes lit up the moment the tortoise and crane longevity jade token was displayed, "It seems that this exhibition isn’t as boring as I imagined, but however good it is, it ultimately can’t compare to my Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix."

"Next is Master Chen Yumei’s second piece, Jade Bodhisattva," the host announced the following item after the jade token was returned and the box closed, as per procedure.

"Jade Bodhisattva...uh, do people still collect such clichéd themes?"

"Bodhisattvas are far too common, lacking novelty."

"No matter how one carves a Bodhisattva theme, it seems to always remain the same."

"It looks like the Colorful Phoenix Seeking Phoenix is set to take the lead, with no suspense."

...

The host turned the switch on top of the box, and like a flower blooming, the sides of the wooden box fell.

At the same time, a spotlight shone down.

The Jade Bodhisattva was crystal clear and immaculate!

In an instant, it quieted the noisy crowd completely.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Jade Bodhisattva as a sense of reverence arose in their hearts.

It was as if they truly saw a living Bodhisattva descending upon the mortal world to enlighten the masses!

This sense of sanctity pressed down from above their heads.

"Whose work is that! Why does a place like this have such a fine piece! Wen’er, go and find out, at all costs I must purchase it and add it to my collection," the elder exclaimed, standing up and going to the railing, gripping it tightly with both hands in extreme excitement.

"I will find out right away," Li Wen’er left the private room.

Leaving only the elder by himself to reflect, "It seems I have been too arrogant, indeed, there are always people better than oneself, skies beyond skies, and jades beyond jade!"

...

"Wei, look quick, people have started to kneel in devotion!" Su Yumei pointed out.

She could understand this feeling.

"I must admit, that stroke of light was cast very well, playing a crucial role." Chen Wei didn’t take all the credit.

"Wei, who do you think will win? Your Jade Bodhisattva, or that Colorful Phoenix thing?" Su Yumei asked with keen interest.

"My carving clearly wins, but that Colorful Gemstone truly is rare in this world, and it’s such a large piece, too. Considering this is a gemstone exhibition, I’d say they have a sixty percent chance, and I have forty," Chen Wei analyzed.

"It’s a pity—if you had that piece of gemstone, Wei, the effect would undoubtedly be even more stunning," Su Yumei said.

There was a long silence before Chen Wei replied, and as she turned her gaze to him, she saw his serious face. Su Yumei felt a sense of foreboding and asked in a low voice, "What’s happened?"

"We’ve shown too much wealth and attracted unwanted attention. There might be a nasty fight soon," Chen Wei had noticed those few people weren’t quite right—they weren’t ordinary guests, but well-trained! They had been plotting for a long time!
