CHAPTER 1084: CHAPTER 1084: COMING AND GOING IN A HURRY

This point is undeniable; his ability can only be described as terrifying.

"He’s gone; he’s really quick to come and quick to go."

Sikong Zhairiyue left with this remark.

"That sentence really suits him—quick to come, and quick to go." Ye Mingtian’s eyes gleamed with brilliance, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

...

The next day.

Shortly after Ye Chenfeng got up, he received a call from Ji Qiushui about the art exhibition.

"Oh, I forgot about this!"

Ye Chenfeng had completely forgotten.

"Alright, come pick me up then!"

Since it wouldn’t hurt, Ye Chenfeng agreed.

Ji Qiushui quickly came to pick him up.

"Did your brother ask you to come?" Ye Chenfeng asked.

"I came myself..." Ji Qiushui replied expressionlessly, but Ye Chenfeng felt she was on his side.

The art exhibition was held in a museum with a long history, and Ye Chenfeng originally thought there wouldn’t be many people at such an event.

But upon arrival, Ye Chenfeng realized he was wrong; it was a huge crowd, even getting to the entrance was a bit tough.

"What’s going on today?" Ye Chenfeng asked, surprised.

"Young man, you don’t know? Many masters are visiting today, especially Divine Land’s sole disciple of world-renowned oil painting master Tony, Pan Wei, who will be attending. That’s why it’s such a sensation," someone nearby said.

Ye Chenfeng touched his nose; Tony’s disciple, isn’t that Adolf’s disciple then?

How did he become a master-level figure? Ye Chenfeng couldn’t understand how Adolf’s assembly-like paintings could be considered world-class masterpieces.

Ye Chenfeng expressed deep skepticism about this.

"Yo, Ye Chenfeng, you’re here! Tsk, tsk, it seems like you’re fond of antique calligraphy and paintings!"

At this moment, a voice full of sarcasm drifted past his ears.

No need to think, it must be Ji Fengyu and Price.

"Haha, what are you doing here?" Another cold voice came, and Ye Chenfeng found himself mistaken; on such an occasion, seasoned enthusiasts like Ji Xiaofeng and Ding Wenjun could not possibly be absent.

Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng became a target, a subject of widespread criticism.

"This isn’t your territory; I come and go as I please, none of your business," Ye Chenfeng said displeased.

"Hmph!" Ji Xiaofeng snorted coldly and said proudly, "Let me put it this way, in this Capital City’s domain, my Ji Family’s voice holds considerable weight."

Ji Xiaofeng didn’t clarify, but the implication was clear: in the Capital City, the Ji Family is akin to a ruler.

"You’re so impressive; why don’t you claim the earth belongs to your Ji Family, and take it home?" Ye Chenfeng sneered.

"I..."

Ye Chenfeng’s remark instantly angered Ji Xiaofeng, though he wanted to retort, Ji Xiaofeng found himself at a loss.

Ji Xiaofeng glared angrily at Ye Chenfeng, then changed the subject: "How did you get here? Everyone here is high society. You couldn’t have sneaked in."

"Enough, let’s go inside!" Ding Wenjun didn’t even glance at Ye Chenfeng, automatically ignoring him.

Ji Xiaofeng shook his head: "No way, this guy must have sneaked in. I need to find someone to deal with him; this kind of trend mustn’t be allowed to form. Under the capital’s nose, this kind of foulness mustn’t persist."

"Uncle, it’s about to start; we don’t need to stoop to his level," Price said at this point.

Upon hearing Price’s words, Ji Xiaofeng smiled broadly: "Alright, let’s go inside. Let’s just ignore him."

"Qiushui, come over here!" Ding Wenjun glanced at Ji Qiushui.

"You guys go ahead; I’m not that interested in calligraphy and paintings." Facing her mother, Ji Qiushui remained as calm as ever.

Ye Chenfeng understood, Ji Qiushui and her mother Ding Wenjun really share similarities, and Ye Chenfeng realized Ji Qiushui’s current state wasn’t entirely caused by Ji Qingrong; heredity played a significant role as well.

Seeing Ji Qiushui siding with Ye Chenfeng, Price became visibly angry.

Yesterday they had visited Ji Qingrong, but Ji Qingrong did not agree to Price’s proposal, also explicitly stated that Ji Qiushui had already been promised.

Although the specifics of who weren’t mentioned, anyone with wit could guess Ji Qingrong was referring to Ye Chenfeng, of course.

Ji Qingrong’s firm attitude left Price thoroughly discomfited. He could only make plans with Ji Xiaofeng and Ding Wenjun.

The famed art exhibition was now an opportunity; of course, this exhibition was different from regular ones—it’s actually a fundraising charity event.

By auctioning famous works, the proceeds are partially donated.

So today became an opportunity for some rich young men to flex their muscles, showcasing their wealth while also enhancing their reputation; a win-win situation.

Knowing about this exhibition, Price and Ji Fengyu planned to invite Ye Chenfeng over, thus creating a stark contrast that would further gain Ji Xiaofeng and Ding Wenjun’s trust.

"Shall we go? Since we’re here, let’s go in and take a look." Ji Qiushui said to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng pinched his nose: "Didn’t expect you to side with me, let’s go, let’s go in and take a look."

The exhibition hall was already packed, especially all seats were basically filled.

Thanks to Ji Qiushui, the two finally found seats, but they were too far back, just a few steps from the exit.

On the other hand, Price and their group got the first-row seats, after all, they belonged to one of the Eight Great Families, the Ji Family.

Soon, the exhibition began. The host passionately introduced the titles of the master painters attending today, immediately rousing the audience.

Most of them were calligraphy and painting enthusiasts, so these masters held special significance compared to ordinary people.

Which is why this scene unfolded: merely hearing the names made these people excited beyond measure.

"Presumably, everyone knows a little about tonight’s star master. Yes, today’s star master is Divine Land’s only true disciple of world-renowned oil painting master Tony, Pan Wei. Pan Wei’s work will be the final feature, and the ultimate bidder will not only get this piece but also receive a cherished work by Pan Wei, rumored to be created by his mentor, Tony."

Words that leave people in shock; when the host revealed this news, the audience was in an uproar.

The vast majority in attendance aimed to obtain Pan Wei’s work.

But now, they could not only obtain Pan Wei’s work but also receive his gift.
