Chapter 22:
Martial Arts Grandmaster
“You just said… what grandmaster?”
Ye Feng frowned. He didn’t understand why these two suddenly knelt before him.
“You… aren’t a grandmaster?”
Yang Mu looked up at Ye Feng, full of confusion. Did he not even know what a grandmaster was?
Jia Lianshan had the same thought. The more he looked at Ye Feng, the less he seemed like an antique grandmaster—he was simply too young, unbelievably young.
In the entire history of antique appraisal, he had never even heard of a grandmaster in his twenties.
Moreover,
after working in this field for so many years, he had only ever heard of three grandmasters in total.
Those three were all figures at the very peak of the field, worshipped by countless people.
Their level had already reached an unimaginable realm—
the ability to determine authenticity with a single glance.
For small-time antique masters like them, those true grandmasters were beyond comparison.
“What grandmaster? You’ve got the wrong person.”
Ye Feng replied calmly, then casually waved his hand.
Suddenly,
a gentle force lifted Yang Mu and Jia Lianshan from the ground.
Both of them were instantly stunned, staring at Ye Feng in disbelief.
What kind of strange technique was that?
He actually lifted people into the air from a distance.
Incredible—absolutely incredible!
Almost at the same time, both Yang Mu and Jia Lianshan seemed to realize something, their pupils violently contracting!!
Just as they were about to speak, Ye Feng had already left the room.
They looked at each other. After a moment, their lips trembled as they said in unison:
“A legendary martial arts expert… a Hua Jin grandmaster!!!”
“What? Hua Jin grandmaster?”
The three of them—Liu Xuan, Yan Yang, and Yan Ting—were completely stunned, their minds exploding in shock.
“That’s right. Lifting objects through empty space is one of the clearest signs of a martial arts grandmaster.”
Yang Mu said with reverence, as if speaking of a deity:
“I never thought I would meet a martial arts grandmaster in my lifetime… and such a young one at that. Heaven… I have no regrets in this life!”
Jia Lianshan also looked dazed as he added:
“It’s said that martial arts grandmasters are elusive, like divine dragons who show only their heads and tails. I’ve been in this world for decades and never once seen one. They are no longer ordinary humans—they have transcended the limits of mortals. To them, catching bullets with bare hands or killing from a distance is nothing but child’s play.”
“Oh my god!! Are they like gods?”
Yan Ting widened her eyes, her mouth open so wide it looked like she could swallow an egg.
Liu Xuan and Yan Yang were completely numb from shock.
Following antique masters, they had naturally heard bits and pieces about the martial world before. But they had always thought such people were legends they would never encounter in their lifetime.
Yet now, not only had they met one—it was a teenager who looked barely nineteen years old.
Yang Mu and Jia Lianshan both sighed deeply.
They had originally thought Ye Feng being an antique grandmaster was already the limit. Who could have imagined he was actually an even more terrifying martial arts grandmaster?
Compared to a martial arts grandmaster, an antique grandmaster was nothing.
At this moment,
they suddenly felt a wave of regret.
If they had known Ye Feng was a martial arts grandmaster, they would have done everything to build a relationship with him.
One could only imagine—
for someone to reach the level of martial arts grandmaster at such a young age, his background must be unimaginably powerful.
Suddenly, they felt a chill of fear.
Good thing they knelt quickly!
Otherwise,
offending an antique grandmaster might still leave room for negotiation—but offending a martial arts grandmaster would basically mean no way out at all.
Because people like that were unpredictable, killed without hesitation, and didn’t care about worldly rules.
In their eyes, they were the rules themselves.
The stronger one’s fist, the stronger the rules.
Yang Mu suppressed his shock and immediately shouted at Liu Xuan:
“Transfer the remaining 140 million immediately! Within one hour, it must be in Grandmaster Ye’s account!”
“Also, transfer another 100 million from my personal account. Mark it as: voluntary donation from Yang Mu!”
“Yes, Master!”
Liu Xuan nodded and quickly went to handle it.
Hearing this, Jia Lianshan smiled inwardly, thinking this guy was really clever—actually adding another 100 million to build a relationship with Ye Feng.
Feeling envious, he didn’t want to fall behind and casually asked:
“Ahem… Old Yang, do you have Grandmaster Ye’s contact information?”
Yang Mu nodded proudly:
“Yes.”
“Then… could you give me his bank account and phone number?”
Jia Lianshan asked nervously, licking his dry lips.
He also wanted to build a relationship with Ye Feng. If he could connect with someone like that, his future would be limitless.
Just thinking about it made him excited.
But the next second, Yang Mu poured cold water on him.
Yang Mu sneered:
“You’re dreaming!”
“That’s a client’s privacy. It cannot be disclosed to anyone.”
“Not allowed? That just means there’s room for negotiation.”
Jia Lianshan thought coldly, then said with a fake smile:
“Old Yang, we’ve known each other for years. We’re practically friends, right?”
“How about this—if you give me Grandmaster Ye’s contact information, I’ll let the matter of those Yuan dynasty antiques go. I won’t tell anyone, and your reputation won’t be affected.”
Hearing this, Yang Mu hesitated.
After thinking for a while, he refused.
Because giving Ye Feng’s contact information to others would be a violation of his privacy.
Compared to losing reputation, he was even more unwilling to offend a martial arts grandmaster.
He knew exactly what should and should not be done.
“Forget it. Don’t even think about it. Customer privacy comes first. It must not be leaked—that’s the rule!”
Yang Mu said coldly.
“Tch, just say you don’t want to give it.”
Jia Lianshan cursed inwardly, grinding his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do. He could only leave angrily.
After the three of them left, Liu Xuan finally stepped forward and asked nervously:
“Master… is Mr. Ye really a martial arts grandmaster?”
“Of course!”
Yang Mu snorted:
“If you don’t believe it, go try offending him and see if he kills you.”
“Ah?”
Liu Xuan quickly stepped back in fear:
“No, no, I wouldn’t dare!”
“Then behave and do as I said.”
“Yes!”
