Could someone else have come back with her Ye Fan ate while looking at the door. 。Only to see Si Kong Yanran push open the door and walk in, and behind her, Wu Miner and her mother who hadn't been s...Ye Fan suddenly smiled and said, “The story depicted in this painting is about a painting competition held during the Song Dynasty by Emperor Zhao Ji in Bianjing, which is now Kaifeng, Henan Province. ”

The woman in the dark corner was taken aback. She hadn't expected this self-proclaimed Fan Ye to actually be able to answer, and answer flawlessly, as if he had looked up the answers online beforehand.

However, the female guest quickly came to her senses and smiled, saying, "You're very impressive, you passed this round. So, what is the question on this painting"

Ye Fan replied without hesitation, "The fragrance of horseshoes follows me as I return home after walking among the flowers."

Actually, Ye Fan had racked his brains to come up with this. The old man really liked the painting, saying it was full of artistic conception. The theme of that year's art exam was "Returning Home After Admiring Flowers, Horsehoof Fragrant," and many painters struggled to capture its essence. Some painted majestic horses, others filled their canvases with flowers, but none truly conveyed the poem's spirit.

Later, a painter painted this picture: a traveler sitting on horseback, with several butterflies unwilling to leave him behind along the way. With just a few strokes, he brought out the mood of the scene, and that's how he passed the exam.

This female guest was truly astonished this time. She couldn't sit still any longer and walked out from behind the curtain, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Ye Fan, as if suspecting that he had cheated.

Looking at her like that, Ye Fan found it rather amusing. Thinking about it, his own attire did not scream "learned scholar" at all.

"Brother, that's amazing! I didn't expect you to be so profound. I, Xiao Ma, am impressed." Ma Xiaobing had been standing beside Ye Fan at some point and patted him on the back, a sheepish smile on his face.

Envy and jealousy toward Ye Fan, he didn't bother with him. However, when he turned his head, he almost jumped in fright. He realized that a bunch of male buddies had surrounded him without him noticing. They were all looking at him intently.

To be more precise, he was walking towards the female guest behind Ye Fan, paying his respects with a gaze that was like a tiger or a wolf. Even Ye Fan felt uneasy under those piercing eyes.

The female guest paid no attention to the wolves around her, but her starry eyes were fixed on Ye Fan, as if she hoped to find some clues about him.

Ye Fan coughed lightly, "The third question should be coming up next, right"

The female guest withdrew her scrutinizing gaze. She was slightly disappointed; she hadn't been able to glean anything of value from Fan Ye. Could it be that Fan Ye truly answered based on his own abilities

The third question is, please identify whether this painting is authentic and state your reasons.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, the crowd below erupted, especially Ma Xiaobai, who was pounding his chest and feet, vehemently defending Ye Fan, "How could this painting be a genuine work of that student That's from the Song Dynasty! If it were real, it would be worth a fortune now. How could it possibly be here for an auction"

What Ma Xiaobing said was actually the truth. Everyone knew that the painting on display was definitely a fake, but knowing it and being able to say it was a fake with valid reasons tested one's painting skills.

Even world-renowned painters today can't always distinguish a forgery with 100% certainty. Given that this female guest made such a statement, it can only mean that the painting is extremely close to the real thing.

And wanting to start from the aspects of paper aging and wear, it's almost impossible, unless you use sophisticated instruments. Otherwise, how could human eyes possibly achieve this

Ye Fan was also cursing inwardly, "Who the hell came up with this question Doesn't this blatantly prevent attendees from ever seeing the female guest's true face The less you see, the more you want to buy the paintings and participate. And the harder the question is, the more paintings you'll buy."

This is most likely the work of that old Mr. Mo, the chairman. He's really a cunning and shrewd person.

The female guest didn't mind these things. The reason she took time out of her busy schedule to attend this charity auction was twofold: first, she herself was very passionate about charitable work, and second, Mr. Mo had assured her that it was impossible for anyone to break through his carefully prepared three rounds. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of the female guest would definitely not succeed.

So that's why this female guest agreed to appear. In fact, it was just as expected. Before her dark veil, few people could even answer her first question, let alone her second or third.

She saw Ye Fan's expression and became even more secretly pleased.

Ye Fan's heart came up with anger, you must think I can't answer Wait and see, I will definitely make you eat your words.

Ye Fan said, "Of course this is a fake. The reason is very simple, even I could paint such a mediocre painting."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall was filled with murmurs. No one believed a word this arrogant person said.

Ma Xiaobai suddenly hugged Ye Fan's arm, whispering urgently, "Brother, don't struggle anymore. Even your little brother Ma can't answer this, you have even less hope. Let's just leave, it won't be embarrassing for you."

Ma Xiaobing had already seen that someone seemed to have started taking off their shoes. If Ye Fan didn't leave, Ma Xiaobing could almost predict what would happen to him.

Ye Fan was amused by this Xiao Ma Ge. This Xiao Ma Ge seemed to have a very good opinion of himself. Since he couldn't answer it himself, he wouldn't allow others to answer it

The female guest was also stunned by Ye Fan's words, and looked at him in astonishment: "Mr. Fan, are you joking"

Ye Fan said speechless, "Do you think I'm joking" He slapped away Ma Xiaobing with his hand.

Ma Xiabei extended a big thumb in front of Ye Fan and sincerely said, "You're awesome." Then he turned his back, rolled up his sleeves, and glared fiercely at those restless young masters, looking like he would fight anyone who dared to throw a shoe. For a moment, it really managed to suppress those uneasy people.

"What's going on" a low, powerful voice suddenly boomed. Then, an elderly man in his sixties pushed through the crowd and walked forward.

Mo Zihan also came. Ye Fan didn't expect that he could still get the attention of this old Mo, it was really an honor.

The female guest briefly recounted the situation to the association president upon seeing him. Lao Mo listened attentively, and when he looked at Ye Fan, a glimmer of interest appeared in his eyes.

"Get the four treasures of the study ready," Old Mo said loudly to the person behind him.

That person then said goodbye and hurried away.
