The few who witnessed all this were also stunned.
Especially Master Pan's granddaughter, her eyes widened, her mouth agape as if an egg could fit inside.
"So amazing!"
"I wonder how this guy did it!"
She muttered, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Young man, your skills are truly incredible!"
The proprietress knew very well the fighting prowess of these two, which was why she was so shocked.
It seemed Ye Fei was definitely a skilled practitioner.
Afterward, the proprietress made a call to the supplier, successfully resolving the issue. Then, with a smile, she walked up to Ye Fei.
"Young man, you've helped me, Sister Wang, a great deal today!"
"If this fake had truly been sold to someone else, and they later discovered it was a counterfeit, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of our Jade Pavilion?"
"So Sister Wang truly owes you a favor!"
"How about this, you need a piece of warm jade, right?"
"Just pick any piece, consider it Sister Wang's way of thanking you."
The proprietress said directly.
"Since Sister Wang is so straightforward, I won't decline!"
"To be honest, I did have my eye on a piece of jade here."
Then Ye Fei directly pointed to a piece of something resembling a stone, coated in lacquer and covered in a lot of dust, in the corner, and said.
"Sister Wang, I'll take this one."
Sister Wang was also surprised. She remembered this piece of jade as a complimentary gift from years ago when she bought a lot of jade.
"I didn't spend any money on this jade, it was a free gift."
"Since it never sold, it's been gathering dust in this corner."
"If you like it, feel free to take it!"
"And speaking of which, it's Sister Wang who's getting the better deal!"
The proprietress handed the black, irregularly shaped piece of jade directly to Ye Fei.
"Sister Wang, thank you!"
"But I can't just take your things for free!"
"This is truly a treasure!"
"How about this, I'll buy it for ten million, what do you say?"
Ye Fei asked.
"No, that's too much!"
"I can't accept your money!"
"This is for you, free of charge!"
Sister Wang directly handed the black jade into Ye Fei's hands.
The two exchanged pleasantries again, and in the end, Ye Fei conceded.
"Then thank you, Sister Wang."
"I, Ye Fei, will remember this."
Then Ye Fei took out the dagger he carried and carefully began to peel away the outermost black layer.
Slowly.
The entire black outer skin was peeled off by Ye Fei.
Then Ye Fei poured an unknown liquid from a white bottle he carried, mixed it with water, and then directly threw the still black jade into the liquid.
Then the liquid began to bubble and steam.
Even Master Pan looked puzzled, not knowing what Ye Fei was doing.
Finally, when the liquid stopped boiling, the jade, which was originally entirely black, began to turn red.
Eventually, the black jade turned into a completely crimson piece of jade.
"Blood jade, could this be the legendary blood jade?"
Master Pan could no longer control his emotions and quickly walked over to Ye Fei.
Then, rubbing his hands, he said eagerly.
"Mr. Ye, would you allow this old man to take a look at the jade in your hands?"
Ye Fei handed it over casually.
"Take a look, I'll give you five minutes."
Then Master Pan excitedly took the jade with both hands, placed it in his palms, and began to examine it carefully.
The proprietress also looked incredulous.
However, if Ye Fei hadn't appeared, this jade would likely have ended up being used to prop up a table leg.
So she harbored no jealousy.
What shocked her even more was Ye Fei's talent and mastery in jade appraisal.
"It truly is the legendary blood jade!"
"Whether it's the color or the feel in my hand, it's exactly like the legends!"
"I was only fortunate enough to see a piece of blood jade many years ago."
"Today has been a feast for my eyes."
Then Master Pan returned the blood jade to Ye Fei.
"Little brother Ye, Sister Wang, I am impressed, truly impressed!"
"Your discerning eye is unparalleled, truly amazing!"
The proprietress also genuinely praised Ye Fei.
"But I also have to thank you, Sister Wang. If you didn't have this blood jade here, even with all my skills, I couldn't have conjured it, could I?"
Ye Fei replied with a smile.
Then Ye Fei chatted with Sister Wang and Master Pan for a few more moments before preparing to leave.
After all, he had a more important matter to attend to next: carving this blood jade into shape.
After bidding farewell to the group, Ye Fei took a car back to his hotel room.
Just as he changed his clothes and was about to begin carving, his phone began to ring incessantly.
Ye Fei picked it up and saw it was He Jingyao's number.
Upon learning that He Jingyao wanted to see him, Ye Fei directly told her the hotel he was currently staying at.
Not long after, there was a knock on his door.
Ye Fei walked over and opened the hotel room door.
What greeted him was He Jingyao, dressed in a fitted dress and looking very beautiful.
"Ye Fei, I finally got through to you!"
"I called you so many times, and it kept saying your phone was off."
"Are you blocking the door and not letting me in?"
He Jingyao joked.
"Miss, please come in, please!"
"I went to the antique street earlier, my phone ran out of battery, and I just got back."
Ye Fei explained.
"What, you've already been to the antique street?"
"I was planning to ask you to go together today!"
He Jingyao was also thinking about the gift, and her thoughts aligned with Ye Fei's.
"No need to go, I've already bought the item."
"And I didn't spend a single cent!"
Ye Fei said rather triumphantly.
"How is that possible? You weren't scammed, were you?"
Warm jade often cost tens of millions, sometimes even hundreds of millions. How could it be obtained for free?
She certainly didn't believe it.
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Moreover, I'll tell you, this is the legendary blood jade!"
"Come quickly and take a look!"
"I haven't carved it yet!"
"I thought it would be too much of a loss to give away such a large piece of blood jade, so I plan to only take a portion of it and keep the rest for other uses."
As if seeking praise, Ye Fei pulled He Jingyao over to the table in the room.
On the table lay a piece of completely crimson jade, about the size of a block of tofu.
