“Young Master Jiang? Divine Doctor Hao?”
Sun Yilang was stunned, watching the two whisper to each other.
That’s right, these two were indeed Jiang Zhitao and Divine Doctor Hao. Divine Doctor Hao had originally come to the ghost market to find a medicinal ingredient, but unexpectedly ran into people from the Liu family acting arrogantly. Given Jiang Zhitao’s personality, how could he tolerate them? Kuai Shu Ge
Ye Fan helplessly shook his head with a wry smile. This kid was always so arrogant.
However, this time, he might be on the receiving end of bad luck.
With the Jiang family’s strength, they were probably no match for the Liu family. If they were targeted for revenge by the Liu family, the Jiang family would likely suffer greatly.
Liu Cheng gritted his teeth. He had just emerged representing the Liu family today and was humiliated. To his surprise, someone dared to oppose him again in the ghost market that evening.
If he didn’t teach these people a lesson, the Liu family’s honor would truly be tarnished by him.
“Boy, who are you?”
His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, wishing he could carve Jiang Zhitao into a thousand pieces.
Jiang Zhitao, naturally, feared nothing. Not to mention in the ghost market, but throughout Jiang City, there were very few people he feared.
“I go by no other name, nor do I change my surname. Jiang City is your…”
Seeing that Jiang Zhitao was about to announce his name, Ye Fan quickly coughed and said, “Isn’t this Young Master Zhou? Just the other day we said we’d go to Haicheng together, what a coincidence to run into you here in the ghost market today.”
Ye Fan quickly stepped forward, his face full of smiles, and grabbed Jiang Zhitao’s hand.
Seeing Ye Fan, Jiang Zhitao was also taken aback, but upon seeing Ye Fan’s constant winking, he instantly understood.
“I am Zhou Youde, from the Zhou family in Haicheng. If you’re not satisfied, come find me.”
He looked at Liu Cheng and snorted, carrying his arrogance to the extreme.
“Why should Young Master Zhou bother with people like this? I dealt with them during the day. They’re just a bunch of mentally ill idiots who think they can do whatever they want in the antique business because they have connections. They naively believe that their words are imperial decrees and must be obeyed by others. I’ve lived so long, and this is the first time I’ve encountered such an idiot.”
Ye Fan chattered on, scolding them.
Upon seeing Ye Fan, Liu Cheng’s anger could no longer be contained and instantly ignited, reaching its peak.
“It’s you? You dare to show yourself before me again, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
The harm Ye Fan had inflicted on him during the day was too great.
As a leader among the younger generation of the Liu family, although Liu Cheng was not the eldest direct descendant, he ranked among the top three. His first battle after emerging was thwarted by Ye Fan, so it was natural for him to be furious.
“I hate these chattering idiots the most. If you have the guts, show them. Can you appraise antiques through arguments? How laughable.”
Ye Fan kept scoffing coldly, even his expression filled with disdain.
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, the woman’s face contorted with anger, “According to this gentleman, he should also be proficient in antique appraisal? If so, why not have a competition with us?”
The woman’s voice was like a warbler or swallow, possessing an irresistible magic.
Even Ye Fan, with his firm will, couldn’t help but be stunned, his emotions stirred.
Quickly calming himself, Ye Fan slowly looked up at the woman’s eyes, “I didn’t expect the Liu family to have such a beauty. It’s just a pity she was born in the wrong place and is destined to be wasted.”
Ye Fan sighed helplessly and shook his head, then looked at Liu Cheng, “Since your Liu family boasts of being the best in the antique business, we shall have a competition today. I wonder if you dare?”
This was naked provocation.
Facing the Liu family, Ye Fan felt no fear, not even a trace of worry.
At this moment, even the woman was stunned. What was going on? She was the one provoking Ye Fan, how did it turn into Ye Fan provoking the Liu family?
Moreover, Ye Fan’s expression was too calm. There was even a hint of contempt deep within his eyes. Who exactly was he?
At this moment, the woman was filled with doubt.
But Liu Cheng was already beyond furious, “Good, today we shall settle our grievances. I will make sure you wish you were dead, but unable to die.”
His inner rage was completely unleashed at this moment, the fury in his eyes seemed to want to carve Ye Fan into a thousand pieces.
However, facing such an enraged Liu Cheng, Ye Fan let out a disdainful cold snort, “I couldn’t ask for more.”
Unconsciously, the woman felt a bit more drawn to Ye Fan. This man was different.
But despite her interest in Ye Fan, she was, after all, a member of the Liu family. Seeing that Ye Fan had agreed, she smiled, “Since it’s a competition, there must be stakes. Have you considered what the stakes should be?”
Ye Fan shrugged, “It doesn’t matter. If I lose, you can have this life of mine.”
In an appraisal competition, how could he possibly lose?
Seeing Ye Fan’s expression, Liu Cheng’s body trembled, “Good, we’ll wager this life then.”
Gritting his teeth, Liu Cheng had gambled everything.
Ye Fan was taken aback, he hadn’t expected Liu Cheng to be so reckless, but all of this truly didn’t matter to him.
“If you’re willing, then so be it.”
That indifferent attitude would likely infuriate anyone who witnessed it.
“Piaoxu, announce the rules.”
Turning to the woman, Liu Cheng said coldly.
The woman, named Liu Piaoxu, held a high status in the Liu family. Seeing that neither of them had any objections, she nodded.
“Since that’s the case, everyone present can be a witness. I now announce the competition rules: within one hour, whoever buys an item for no more than a thousand yuan with the highest value wins.”
After all, this was a ghost market, filled with funerary objects. If there was no upper limit on the price, there would be no competition.
And by setting a time and price limit, it was fair to both parties.
Ye Fan nodded, then smiled slightly, “I look forward to you killing me.”
“We’ll see.”
Liu Cheng said angrily, then strode forward.
Ye Fan, however, was not in a hurry. Picking up treasures in the ghost market required brains, not brute force.
Those who set up stalls and operated here were not fools, and most of them had personally gone on tomb expeditions. Therefore, it was not easy to find bargains from them.
Ye Fan walked slowly, occasionally looking left and right, then shaking his head and leaving.
Compared to Liu Cheng’s hurried pace, Ye Fan’s actions seemed too leisurely.
The hour passed quickly. Liu Cheng had already returned, holding a rusty iron sword in his hand.
“Where is Ye Fan? Why hasn’t he returned?”
Turning to Sun Yilang, Liu Cheng asked in a deep voice.
“Hmph, I think he’s run away. I knew this person had no real skill,”
The elder Liu family member said disdainfully.
Liu Piaoxu, however, frowned, her gaze fixed ahead with anticipation.
Even she herself didn’t quite understand why she was anticipating Ye Fan’s appearance.
“He didn’t complete the purchase task within the allotted time, so he’s considered to have failed, right?”
Liu Cheng said coldly.
