"Alright! Facts speak louder than words! Since you've brought your master's masterpiece, then bring it out! The crowd's eyes are sharp! You'll know who's a layman with one look! "
Tao Qianli was brimming with confidence.
If Chen Xiaobei had brought out an ordinary piece of art, Tao Qianli would have said that it was worthless and slapped Chen Xiaobei in the face.
Even if Chen Xiaobei brought out a masterpiece that was even better than the Ride As A Thousand Paintings, Tao Qianli would still find fault with it so that Chen Xiaobei would not lose too badly.
No matter what, Tao Qianli would not allow himself to be called a layman.
"Ms. Fei Xuan, can I ask two of your staff to help me?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Of … Of course …"
Fei Xuan was still in a daze as if she had yet to recover from the shock.
After being an auctioneer for so many years, Fei Xuan had met countless people. But this was the first time she had met someone as crazy as Chen Xiaobei.
Soon, two young maids came to the front of the stage.
Without further ado, Chen Xiaobei took out a scroll from his Infinite Space Ring and handed it to the two servants. "Open it horizontally. Slow down. This painting is very wide. Be careful not to damage it!"
The two maids followed Chen Xiaobei's instructions and began to open the scroll.
At the same time, everyone's attention was focused on the painting.
"Kid! Do you know what it means to show off in front of an expert? "
Lu Changwei said. "How dare you show off your painting in front of Master Tao Qianli? I really admire your courage! "
On the other hand, Miao Yiyue was frowning. "Isn't this kid a medical student? Why does he have an artist teacher? This is so unreliable … How am I going to explain it to Muyue if Lu Changwei really kills him? "
"Ruilong! How about we make a bet? "Qin Luo smiled." Let's bet on whether that young man will live or die after the painting is opened! "
Wei Ruilong pursed his lips. "Don't try to trick me! Based on Lu Changwei's personality, as long as he can find the slightest flaw in this painting, he will definitely kill that young man! "
"Sigh … What a shame! The little hero who dared to insult Lu Changwei is going to die young … If he survives this, I'll treat him to a drink! "Qin Luo sighed.
"Count me in!" Wei Ruilong shrugged.
"Lunatic! Lunatic! Idiot! "
In the second row, the beautiful lady rolled her eyes at Chen and said, "Luckily, I'm smart enough. If I were to be mistaken as his accomplice, I would be so unlucky!"
"Whoosh! What a magnificent painting! "
However, at this moment, the beautiful woman's boyfriend let out a cry of surprise.
In the next instant, the entire auction hall was filled with the same exclamations of astonishment.
Chen's scroll was fully unfurled.
It was a horizontal scroll, about one meter tall and ten meters wide. It almost spanned across the auction stage. The first impression it gave people was that it was spectacular!
In comparison, Tao Qianli's Ride As A Thousand Paintings was only one-fifth the size of this painting.
Coincidentally, Chen's drawing was also depicting the 'One Man Against A Thousand Men'!
At the top of the painting, there were dark clouds looming over the city.
The main part of the painting was depicting a magnificent scene of thousands of men and horses marching in a straight line. The painting was ten meters wide and the thousands of soldiers were depicted in great detail!
In the middle of the painting, there was a general riding on a white horse, holding a long spear in his hand. Facing the thousands of soldiers, he was all alone!
"Top-tier! This painting is definitely a top-tier work of art! The composition of the painting is magnificent! It's an epic scene! Just this point alone is enough for a painter to practice for several years! "
"The strokes are great as well! Even though it's just an ink painting, the layering and the three-dimensional feel of the painting are all highlighted! It's just too realistic! "
"This painting is really good but I think it's similar to Master Tao's Ride As A Thousand Men …"
"Master Tao's painting highlights the details of the general! The horse's mane, the parts of the armor! All of them are depicted in great detail! I think it's even harder to draw!"
"Yeah! That young man's painting is really good but I'm not convinced that Master Tao is just a layman! "
…
Everyone was talking about it but no one supported Chen Xiaobei.
"Kid! Just tell me! How do you want to die? Tell me! How do you want to die? I will grant you your wish! "
Chen Xiaobei shrugged and said, "As the saying goes, the layman enjoys the show while the expert appreciates the artistry! I'm not trying to pick on anyone but everyone here is a layman. Only Master Tao and the young governor are experts in this field! "
"Master Tao? Young governor? "
Upon hearing that, everyone realized that Tao Qianli and Dong Xiaowu were standing right in front of Chen Xiaobei's painting!
Both of them were staring at the painting. It was as if they were sealed by some kind of magical power. They were frozen on the spot!
Clearly, the two of them had seen the essence of the painting that the layman would not be able to see.
"What … What the hell is going on?"
Lu Changwei was left in a daze.
The rest of the people were equally baffled.
"Master Tao! Young governor! Can you hear me? "Lu Changwei shouted at the top of his lungs.
Sii …
Suddenly, Tao Qianli and Dong Xiaowu took in a deep breath. It was as if they had just woken up from a dream.
The two of them looked terrified as they explained. Their foreheads were covered in cold sweat and their breathing was rapid, as if they had suffered a great shock.
"Master Tao! Young governor! What's wrong with you guys? Why do you look so distracted? "Lu Changwei was even more confused.
Everyone else was just as baffled. They could not figure out what was going on.
"Divine item! This painting is divine! "
Tao Qianli and Dong Xiaowu exclaimed at the same time. Both of them were shaking uncontrollably.
"What the hell is going on? Can you guys stop fooling around? Are you guys seeing ghosts? "Lu Changwei was sweating profusely as well. This was just too weird.
"Look at the painting from any angle on either side …" Tao Qianli said.
Tao Qianli said in a trembling voice, "The army was charging at us as if they were going to charge out of the painting and trample us into minced meat …"
"You … Go to the center and stand behind the general …" Dong Xiaowu said.
Dong Xiaowu continued, "That lone figure seemed to exude the majestic aura of a mountain. It was as if a single man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies! As long as you stand behind him, the pressure from the thousands of soldiers will disappear! "
"How is that possible? Are you guys possessed? "Lu Changwei could not believe it.
"You can look at it yourself if you don't believe me!"
Dong Xiaowu pulled Lu Changwei over. "Calm down and look at it carefully!"
"Sii …" A few seconds later, Lu Changwei took in a deep breath and broke out in cold sweat.
