The noise immediately attracted a lot of people to watch. Seeing that Xiao Chen's clothes were not of high quality, another painting seller came up to persuade him.
"Brother Xu, it seems like this person doesn't have much money. He wants to pretend to be rich in this auction. He only said that because he wants to attract people's attention. In fact, he is just a poor man. Don't bother with him. Can he understand the painting of a master like Tang Yin? "
Xu Bowen's anger did not diminish after he heard that. He pulled Xiao Chen's collar and said, "If you dare to say such words today, then you have to bear the responsibility. Do you understand? If you don't have enough money... Then you can spend the rest of your life with the Xu family!"
When the surrounding people heard that it was the Xu family, they couldn't help but sigh.
"So he's the one known as the 'Collecting King', Xu Bowen!"
"The Xu Family is ranked fourth in the entire Wuling just by relying on their collection of calligraphy and paintings. They have become one of the four big families in the Wuling. Their background isn't simple!"
"I don't know what's going on with this kid. He actually offended the Xu Family. This is terrible."
Many people seemed to have seen the fate of Xiao Chen. This time, he was unable to act cool. He had been reduced to being the servant of the Xu Family for his entire life. In modern times, such a life could be said to be extremely miserable.
Xiao Chen didn't panic at all. He reached out his hand and pushed Xu Bowen away. "You don't look like a collector at all. You don't even have the bearing of a collector. You still dare to say that you are the 'collector king'? I think you're just a wimp. "
Xu Bowen staggered from the push and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, someone around him helped him up.
He felt Xiao Chen's extraordinary skills from the push just now. No one else knew about it. However, he knew it in his heart. He had once gone to the mountain to practice martial arts for ten years before he went down the mountain. His body and bones were more than two times stronger than ordinary people.
However, with just a simple push from Xiao Chen, he almost fell to the ground. It was obvious that the other party's background was not small.
Even so, his face was still full of anger, because Xiao Chen was mocking his collection of paintings.
As the saying goes, a man can be killed but not humiliated. Now that Xiao Chen said that his painting was a fake, it was equivalent to insulting himself and his personality.
"Alright, I won't argue with you. If you say that my painting is fake, then tell me the reason. Otherwise, 80 million yuan, not a single cent less!" Xu Bowen said loudly.
Xiao Chen originally didn't want to lower himself to Xu Bowen's level. He was only here to take a stroll. However, Xu Bowen didn't seem to shed tears until he saw the coffin. He could only walk in the direction of the painting with his hands behind his back.
Wong Han, who was standing behind Xiao Chen, was frightened by Xiao Chen's action. He quickly called Jian Shi to inform him.
Putting other things aside, this eighty million wasn't a small sum. Moreover, Xu Bowen was a very stubborn person. If he didn't buy Jian Shi's reputation as the mayor of the city, this matter would become very difficult.
Xiao Chen noticed Wong Han's movement. He turned around and said to him, "No need to trouble him. I can handle the matter here."
Wong Han immediately felt that Xiao Chen was really not afraid of death. He could only silently say in his heart that they would not be beaten to death later.
Wong Han's heart was full of bitterness now. What kind of thing was this? He had just come to work and was arranged to accompany such an ancestor.
More and more people gathered around. Soon, there were no less than a few hundred people gathered here. There were amateurs here, and most of them were spectators. However, there were also some who knew how to paint. Now, of course, they wanted to see Xiao Chen and Xu Bowen's performance.
The main thing was to see how Xiao Chen would explain the problem with the painting. Most people still felt that Xiao Chen would definitely be slapped in the face very soon.
After all, any of the antiques here had been verified by the few national treasure appraisers. He was just a person who did not seem to have much culture. To dare to say such arrogant words was simply courting death.
Wong Han stood behind Xiao Chen and broke out in cold sweat. Seeing so many people around him, he knew that today's matter was going to blow up.
Xiao Chen slowly came to the front of the painting. After casually glancing at the painting, he said with a faint smile,
"I believe that you all know about Tang Yin, the painter. He has a lot of works in his later years, and this Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix painting is one of his few works in his younger years."
"Hurry up and tell me about the painting. Even a three-year-old child knows what you're talking about." Xu Bowen urged from the side.
In his opinion, Xiao Chen was deliberately stalling for time. When he saw Wong Han calling just now, he guessed that he had called for reinforcements.
However, he had made up his mind today. No matter who came, it wouldn't work. His reputation had been affected by Xiao Chen's lie. Even if he didn't want eighty million yuan, ten million yuan wouldn't be a problem.
"What I'm talking about is the key to the problem. Since this is the painting of Master Tang Yin when he was young... May I ask, what was his state of mind at that time? Water and ink paintings are usually drawn in a way of writing. The meaning is the state of mind. Painting is a picture of his state of mind at that time."
Xiao Chen analyzed the painting unhurriedly.
Someone in the crowd immediately replied.
"At that time, he was young and full of vigor, and he was even in the Imperial Examinations. Of course, he was in high spirits!"
Xu Bowen also nodded in agreement.
"So? Are you saying that the edge of the painting isn't enough? It is obvious that every stroke of the painting is in line with his mental state at that time." When Xu Bowen said that, he didn't forget to take the painting and observe it.
"All of you only saw the surface. This painting isn't Tang Yin's authentic work at all!" Xiao Chen said as he turned the painting over.
The surrounding crowd, including those who did not understand the painting, were shocked.
"This... This is... Phoenix!" Xu Bowen's jaw dropped in shock.
"That's right. This is a phoenix painting. This is not a painting from Tang Yin's youth. If he dared to draw a phoenix under the control at that time... That's right. This is a phoenix painting. This is not a painting of Tang Yin's when he was young. If he dared to draw a phoenix, he would be courting death. Do you think a master like Tang Yin would make such a mistake? "
Xiao Chen's voice echoed in everyone's ears. This time, it was Xu Bowen's turn to break out in cold sweat. He didn't know what to say.
However, Xiao Chen's next sentence made him find a way out.
"But this transformation is indeed a rare masterpiece. Since it's a fake... Since it's not Tang Yin's real work, then I'll just accept it reluctantly. How about I offer a million? " Xiao Chen stretched out a finger and gestured in front of Xu Bowen.
