Chapter 169: Turning Against Each Other

  "(Free.) 'May I ask, what are the rules of your appraisal hall? I'd like to learn from you.' Ye Feng smiled. This clock manager thought that this would be enough to suppress himself, but he was really wrong."

  "Honorable guest, if you're going to say that, then don't blame me for turning my back on you! Come on!" Zhong Guan Shi shouted loudly. Several monks appeared before the crowd, and it seemed that with just one order from Zhong Guan Shi, they would take action against Ye Feng.

  "Haha, Zhong Guanshi, you'd better think carefully, don't be reckless for a moment, or not only will your position be lost, but even your head will be gone." Ye Feng warned.

  "What's going on, noble guest? You're threatening me. By saying this, you're threatening the entire Appraisal Pavilion." Manager Zhong also got angry. Having been in charge of the Appraisal Pavilion in Luoricheng for many years, even if the other party was a diamond VIP, in this situation, he would not be afraid of being blamed by the headquarters in the future.

  Zhong Guanshi waved his hand and several appraisal pavilion monks surrounded Ye Feng, ready to take action.

  Now that things have developed to this point, everyone is waiting for Zhong Guan to give the order to take down Ye Feng and vent their anger.

  In Luoshi City, these people have never been treated like this before. If word gets out, they'll lose all face and won't be able to show themselves in Luoshi City again.

  "Please escort this esteemed guest out of the appraisal chamber, so as not to delay Young Master Nan's selection of items that meet his fancy." Zhong the steward said to several of his underlings.

  Several monks closed in on Ye Feng, their bodies emitting a strong aura that oppressed him.

  Ye Feng, however, was completely unbothered, sitting in a chair, unmoved.

  "Zhongguan Shi, take a good look at this before making your decision." Ye Feng tossed out a jade pendant.

  Zhong Guan took over the jade piece, a very ordinary-looking jade piece. This was a kind of jade piece that could record images and briefly retain events that had occurred not long ago. Although there was no sound, it was possible to clearly see what had happened.

  Zhong Guanshi poured spiritual energy into the jade slip, and a scene appeared before everyone's eyes. It was Ye Feng looking at the bangles at the counter, and then Nan Hui came over and fought with Ye Feng for the bangle.

  Although I couldn't hear what a few people said, the scenes unfolding before me could reveal the course of events.

  Everyone was stunned, this piece of jade is extremely ordinary and has almost no value, nobody would carry this kind of jade with them.

  Actually, Ye Feng didn't expect things to turn out this way. At first, he just wanted to make a record of the items in the Appraisal Pavilion and then compare them to see how many crystal stones his own treasures were worth. He didn't think that his casual actions would have such an effect, it's as if even heaven is helping him.

  Zhong Gangshi looked at the image on the jade piece, his face changing color. This time it's really over, the jade piece is the best evidence, far more convincing than a few words from a partner.

  What have you done to make people ask this diamond VIP to leave the appraisal chamber?

  It sounds nice to ask someone out, but if it's put harshly, it means driving them away. If this gets back to headquarters, one's head may not roll, but the position of manager at Luori City Antique Appraisal House will definitely be gone.

  Alas! It's all because of this damned fellow. How could I have been so bewitched and listened to his testimony? Now it's all over.

  Nan Hui did not expect that Ye Feng still had this move, with this jade piece as evidence, he himself didn't even have the room to turn over.

  His brow furrowed in concentration, Nan Hui took a step forward and appeared before Zhong Guan Shi, snatching the jade slip from his hand. With a slight exertion of force, the jade slip turned into powder, and the image also disappeared without a trace.

  "Kid, what other proof do you have? I won't believe you still have the Shadow Jade Plate." Nan Hui smiled triumphantly. Now that there was no evidence left, Ye Feng would surely be captured without a fight.

  Zhong Guanshi was taken aback for a moment, and then joy overflowed onto his eyebrows. It seemed that he had been overly fearful, and hadn't thought of this possibility. Nan Hui crushed the jade piece, and his position would be secured, wouldn't it?

  Ye Feng didn't even notice Nan Hui's movement, he took out the jade piece just to give Zhong Guan Shi a last chance, not wanting to make things big, after all, he and Jian Bao Ge had a cooperative relationship, making things awkward would be bad for everyone.

  "Zhong Guanshi, since something has already happened before, there's no need for me to say more. You've also seen it clearly, so you should have a number in your heart about what to do." Ye Feng said calmly to Zhong Guanshi.

  "Haha, I only appeared after the dispute started. As for what happened earlier, my friend has already proven it. You'd better know your place and leave now. If you really want to turn against me, it will be even more disadvantageous for you." Zhong Guanshi saw that Ye Feng was only in the foundation-building stage, while his own cultivators had several in the golden elixir stage, and even a few Nascent Soul stage experts who were quietly observing without revealing themselves. With such strength, he wasn't afraid of Ye Feng breaking through to the sky.

  "It's better to leave on your own terms and save some face. If you're kicked out, you'll lose all dignity." Qiao Xiner also sneered.

  "Zhong Guanshi, don't say I didn't give you a last chance, this is what you asked for." Ye Feng stood up from his chair, at this point, there was no need to consider anything else.

  With a movement of her palm, a pale purple-gold card appeared in the center of her hand, and the pattern on it was surprisingly the signboard of Jianbao Pavilion's Treasure Basin!

  "What is this!" Ye Feng shouted at Zhong Guanshi.

  Everyone was shocked by Ye Feng's loud shout, especially Zhong Guanshi, who had a guilty conscience and was naturally afraid.

  "Violet Gold VIP Card!" Only Zhong Guanshi on the scene recognized that this was the Violet Gold VIP Card of Jianbao Pavilion, while others didn't even know what it was, let alone heard of it.

  Zhong's face turned pale and he began to sweat, the purple gold VIP card represented what kind of power and status, Zhong was very clear, as long as Ye Feng said a word, no matter whether he did anything wrong or not, the headquarters would cut off his head.

  At this time, the clockwork steward couldn't help but resent his partner. Isn't this pushing himself to a dead end? Nan Hui was the same, relying on being the second generation of Lu Ri City, he dared to rob others of their favorite bangles. The moment the Purple Gold VIP card came out, you, Nan Hui, were done for, and your own head couldn't be kept intact.

  "What's this Purple Gold VIP card? Is it even higher in status than the Diamond VIP card?" Nan Hui looked at Zhong Guan Shi's rapidly changing facial expression and couldn't help but ask.

  "This is the Purple Gold VIP card, which represents absolute status in the Appraisal Pavilion. Guests who hold the Purple Gold VIP card are almost as noble as the owner of the Appraisal Pavilion." Zhong Guanshi could not forget that before becoming a manager, the first rule for treating guests was to distinguish the status of the VIP card.

  Nan Hui and others were stunned, originally thinking that the diamond VIP card was already honorable enough, who would have thought that there would be a purple gold VIP card such as this revered guest, according to Zhong's words, this wristband absolutely belongs to Ye Feng.

  Zhong Guanshi's dull eyes turned to Ye Feng, "Noble guest, I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize you and offended you. I hope you can forgive me this time, as I have an 80-year-old mother at home..."

  "Stop it. Are you still going to say that there are three-year-old children waiting for milk at home?" This phrase, Ye Feng had seen too many times in the TV dramas of that world. Whenever someone was begging for mercy, they would always say such lines. He didn't know what the author was thinking, couldn't he come up with something new? It was all so cliché and annoying to hear.

  Zhong Guan Shi was momentarily embarrassed.

  "I've given you several chances, but you refuse to change your ways. As the manager of the Sunset City Appraisal Pavilion, you've done something like this. I don't want to interfere with the internal affairs of the pavilion, but I will report this matter to your headquarters. How they deal with you is no longer my concern." Ye Feng looked at Manager Zhong.

  After wandering in the cultivation world for a long time, it's inevitable to have some iron and stone heart, but Ye Feng still gave Zhong Guan Shi many chances, which is already very difficult.

  If Ye Feng didn't have the Purple Gold VIP card today, who knows what would happen, maybe he would even be injured by the appraisers of the Appraisal Pavilion.

  Zhong Guang sat on the ground with a thud, he was really bewildered, his whole life was ruined like this.

  Nan Hui looked at the purple gold VIP card in Ye Feng's hand, and his face was even more unsightly. After pretending for a while, he finally realized that he had become a laughing stock, like a clown.

  Suddenly, Nan Hui had an idea in her mind.

  Thoughts are not as good as actions, Nan Hui's body suddenly exerted force and rushed towards Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng didn't focus all his attention on Nan Hui, but he still noticed Nan Hui's movements. He took a strange step with his foot and dodged the figure that was pouncing on him.

  "Zhongguan Shi, in the appraisal hall, someone actually attacked the Purple Gold VIP, what should be done about it!" Ye Feng shouted loudly at Zhongguan Shi, who was still in a daze.

  Zhong Guanshi suddenly came to his senses, "Young Master Nan, don't act rashly, attacking the Purple Gold VIP in the Appraisal Pavilion would have consequences that even your family can't afford!"

  What Zhongguan said was not nonsense. If Jianbao Pavilion can't even protect its own purple gold VIPs, it would be a huge joke. Not to mention in this small place of Luoricheng, even within the Jiuzhou City, who wouldn't give some face to Jianbao Pavilion?

  Nan Hui smiled, "Zhong Guanshi, I think you're confused. This purple gold VIP card is clearly from my Nan family and was stolen by this kid. I'm just taking back what belongs to us, the Nan family. What does it have to do with being against the Appraisal Pavilion? Why would the Nan family go to the Appraisal Pavilion headquarters to report you?"

  He's already made it clear that as long as Ye Feng is eliminated and the Purple Gold VIP card is obtained, the Nan family will not go to report the situation to Zhong Guan, a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

  Zhong Guanshi's brain was spinning rapidly, Nan Hui's words made a lot of sense. It was clear that Ye Feng was an outsider, and for some reason he had passed through Lu Ri City. If they could get rid of him, wouldn't all their troubles disappear?

  The most important thing is that the VIP card of Jianbao Pavilion, whether it's a diamond VIP card or a purple gold VIP card, will not have the holder's name and ID.

  In other words, whoever holds the VIP card of Jianbao Pavilion is a VIP of Jianbao Pavilion.

  Getting rid of Ye Feng won't spread any news and will also resolve a disaster that's about to happen, Zhong Guanshi's heart moved.

  Everyone is waiting for Zhong Guan Shi's final decision. If Zhong Guan Shi insists on helping Ye Feng, the people present will have no choice but to accept their fate and leave without getting the bracelet, losing face in the process. The difference is that the accomplices and Zhong Guan Shi himself will be punished by Jian Bao Ge.

  Zhong Guanshi thought for a long time and finally steeled himself to take action. There were two possible outcomes: if he succeeded in taking down Ye Feng, the problem would be solved as long as the news didn't leak out; if he failed to take down Ye Feng, then he would just die trying.

  If you don't strive for it, there is absolutely no way out.

  It's worth taking a shot just for that glimmer of life!
