However, at this moment, Ye Fei actually asked him to sign this calligraphy!
This... Elder Mo's mind raced, his breathing became uneven, feeling as if he were dreaming and it wasn't real.
"As I said before, my sister-in-law asked for a piece of calligraphy. Originally, I wanted to do a piece for her myself!"
"But she didn't like it and even accused me of bragging. So, with your reputation, Elder Mo, if you sign it, she won't dislike it when I give it to her."
Immediately, Ye Fei's gaze fell on Elder Mo, and he expressed his thoughts.
"This... this... Little Divine Doctor, this is just taking advantage of you. How can this old man be worthy!"
Elder Mo was stunned, then came back to his senses and immediately stammered, feeling ashamed.
"No, no, no. Women like my sister-in-law only recognize fame. What's the use of my calligraphy being good if they don't appreciate it?"
Ye Fei waved his hands repeatedly and said this to Elder Mo.
As Ye Fei spoke, he also turned to look at Sister Hong and the so-called masters present!
Ye Fei's words were perhaps more suitable for others present than for Elder Mo.
Because among everyone present, apart from Elder Mo, there seemed to be no one who could appreciate it!
This made Ye Fei sigh with emotion, could such a level of calligraphy be called mastery?
*Swish! Swish!*
Sister Hong and the others were not fools. Hearing Ye Fei's words, their faces immediately changed.
"What do you mean? You're saying they don't know good from bad?"
Sister Hong raised her head and glared at Ye Fei!
At this moment, listening to Ye Fei's words, she increasingly felt that Ye Fei was trying to use Elder Mo's name to show off.
Thinking this, Sister Hong's beautiful eyes fell on Ye Fei's scribbled calligraphy again!
This thing looked terrible, could it even be called calligraphy?
Shameless, and even asking Elder Mo to sign it!
Wasn't this ruining Elder Mo's reputation?
Elder Mo was truly accommodating, agreeing just to not let Ye Fei lose face.
If it were her, she would absolutely not agree!
"Elder Mo, how about it?"
Ye Fei, not thinking much, looked at Elder Mo and spoke again!
"This... Alright, alright! I'm ashamed, truly ashamed! With my limited calligraphy skills, I'm completely unworthy of signing this piece!"
"However, since Little Divine Doctor has said so much, if I refuse again, it would be disrespectful to you."
Finally, Elder Mo agreed.
Then, he carefully picked up the brush and signed his name in the bottom left corner with great care!
The characters were very, very small, as if he were afraid that writing larger would ruin the superb artistry and intent of Ye Fei's calligraphy!
When Sister Hong and the others saw this scene, they thought Elder Mo was afraid of losing face but didn't want to offend Ye Fei.
Therefore, he could only write the characters as small as possible so that they wouldn't be easily noticed!
This way, it wouldn't be easily discovered!
Ye Fei nodded slightly when he saw Elder Mo sign.
Then, Ye Fei intended to put it away.
Just then, Elder Mo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Ye Fei, "Little Divine Doctor, please wait a moment."
"Hmm?"
Ye Fei looked at Elder Mo with a confused face, "What is it? Is there something else?"
"May I ask if Little Divine Doctor would allow me to take a picture?"
Elder Mo said shyly to Ye Fei.
"Take it as you please."
Ye Fei thought it was something important, but it was just taking a picture, so he readily agreed.
Elder Mo was overjoyed and immediately took out his phone and took several photos.
Then, he looked seriously at the photos he had taken, selecting good angles before finally putting his phone away with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, the banquet began!
Throughout the banquet, Elder Mo was very enthusiastic, constantly flattering and praising Ye Fei.
"Little Divine Doctor, this old man has something he wishes to say to you."
After a few rounds of drinks, Elder Mo's gaze fell on Ye Fei with intense fervor.
"Hmm? What is it?"
Ye Fei looked surprised, thinking for a long time, but couldn't figure out what Elder Mo wanted.
"This old man has lived for so many years, and I have never seen calligraphy as divinely crafted as yours, Little Divine Doctor!"
"The artistic conception of your calligraphy, the strength of your brushstrokes, in my opinion, is something from the heavens, from an immortal!"
"Therefore, this old man presumptuously wishes to become your disciple, Little Divine Doctor. I know my talent and comprehension are limited, and I'm afraid I'll be buried in the earth before I can learn your 'ghost grass' technique."
"Hence, I only wish to grind ink and hold brushes for you by your side whenever you write calligraphy or paint."
Before drinking, Elder Mo had this thought but dared not express it.
After drinking two glasses of Maotai, emboldened by the alcohol, he blurted out his thoughts.
After Elder Mo finished speaking, he looked at Ye Fei with burning eyes.
But the more he spoke, the more stunned and speechless the people around him became!
"Elder Mo, you've had too much to drink... Little Brother Ye Fei, Elder Mo has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
At this moment, Sister Hong reacted and hurriedly said to Ye Fei.
In Sister Hong's opinion, Ye Fei had indeed drunk too much!
Otherwise, how could he say such world-shattering words?
Wants to become Ye Fei's disciple?
Is Ye Fei qualified for that?
Just based on that scribbled 'ghost grass'?
Isn't this ridiculous!
"Nonsense, I haven't had too much to drink! This old man has not had too much to drink! My mind is clear!"
Elder Mo heard Sister Hong's words and became furious, slapping the table and shouting that he was not drunk.
Then, his gaze fell on Ye Fei, and he said again, "Little Divine Doctor, I haven't had too much to drink. Don't listen to their nonsense, I am serious..."
"No, no, your talent is too poor, too poor..."
Ye Fei looked at Elder Mo and repeatedly waved his hands, immediately refusing.
Hearing this, Elder Mo's face fell with disappointment, like a deflated ball, and he slumped back into his seat!
"Ye Fei, you've gone too far! Elder Mo saw that you were a disciple of the White-Browed Taoist and flattered you a few times, and now you're getting ahead of yourself!"
Suddenly, Sister Hong's gaze fell on Ye Fei, and she said angrily.
This guy, it was one thing that he was pretending before, but now he was getting arrogant.
His demeanor made it seem as if he had truly become a master!
Even Sister Hong, with her good temper, was getting angry.
"..."
Ye Fei was speechless!
Damn it, was he pretending? Was he getting arrogant?
Originally, Ye Fei wanted to explain a few words, but seeing the situation, explaining would be useless!
So, Ye Fei stopped talking.
After the banquet ended, Ye Fei took the calligraphy and returned.
"Alas! There are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens! I thought my calligraphy was already quite good, but compared to Little Divine Doctor, I am merely a frog in a well! A frog in a well!"
Elder Mo watched Ye Fei leave and immediately sighed with emotion.
Then, he suddenly remembered the photos he had taken on his phone!
"No, no, such a peerless masterpiece, and signed, although I didn't write it, it's still a happy event in life. I must show it off on my social media to make those old guys envious!"
As Elder Mo spoke, he edited the photos and posted them on his social media!
The edited content read: "Ancient divine script, for my Ghost Grass!"
Who were the people in Elder Mo's social circle? They were all grand masters of calligraphy from the capital!
Those people were far superior to the calligraphers and painters in a small place like Jiangdong.
Therefore, the moment Elder Mo posted his calligraphy, it was immediately seen!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! This... Is this the legendary lost Ghost Grass? My heavens! Am I dreaming!"
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! I know Elder Mo's calligraphy skills. Although he ranks in the top ten in the capital's circles, he definitely cannot write such divine calligraphy!"
"What's going on? Elder Mo's signature? When did Elder Mo's calligraphy skills reach such astonishing heights? Could his trip to Jiangdong have led to another breakthrough?"
