“How come there’s not a single point?” Tan Cheng Hui froze.
Qin Li’s eyes flashed and he secretly said that this was indeed the case, he knew that if someone wanted to fix them, they would never stop there, and it would be easiest to do it on the judges.
However, Qin Li had a feeling of anger in his heart, not for anything else, just for his Qin Li’s stuff, how could he bear to end up with a zero score?
“Now that the scores have been determined, let’s then have our experts explain to us one by one why this score was assessed!”
This is the last session, if there are any highlights of your exhibit that have not been rated as seen, speak up at this moment and extra points will be given!
“They’re doing it on purpose!” Tan gritted her teeth, “Deliberately trying to put Tan Kee to death!”
Old Xu and the others’ faces didn’t look good, they all knew it was deliberate, but so what, they couldn’t do anything at all!
“Forget it, it seems that Tan Ji really doesn’t stand a chance.” Tan Chenghui seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, the glow on his face was gone, and there was no look in his eyes.
“Why forget it?” Qin Li spoke slowly.
Tan Chenghui looked at Qin Li helplessly, “What else can we do if we don’t count it? There’s nothing we can do about the judges at all!”
Qin Li, however, smiled, “Just wait and see.”
Wait and see?
To see what?
At a time like this, what are you waiting for?
Tan Chenghui thought it was Qin Li comforting him and didn’t take it to heart, he was already thinking about disbanding Tan Ji when he got back.
In recent years, Tan Ji had been going downhill, and he thought this was an opportunity, but he hadn’t expected to take a step into the abyss!
The others also shook their heads slowly when they heard Qin Li’s words, it was now an ironclad fact, there was no way to flip it, this was not like gambling on stones, there were three chances.
This was only one!
The crowd laughed bitterly and when they looked up to see, the experts had already judged the seventh, the Spiritual Jade Jewellery.
They were the tenth, followed by Yuanfu Jewellery and Fengji Jewellery Company.
It was their turn to go past these few, and at a time like this, they had no more hope.
“The one given by Spiritual Jade Jewellery is a hibiscus seed vase, the vase is in good shape, it’s just a pity that there is nothing special about it, nothing outstanding compared to the vases on the market, so fifty points is already considered very high.”
There was no word from Spirit Jade Jewellery, they were actually very satisfied in their hearts, after all, they were fifty points higher than Tan Kee Jewellery!
“Next up is the Feng Kee Jewellery Company, their painting is a Dunhuang fresco, it looks vivid, but unfortunately, it doesn’t have the finishing touch, it’s missing a dignified flavour.
The person in charge of the Feng Ji jewellery house immediately stood up and spoke, “We have something to say.”
Then this person spoke up and raised the score by ten points!
Ninety points, straight up to Yuanfu Jewellery!
Then came the Yuen Fook Jewellery!
“Jade Goddess of Mercy, with a kind face, honestly, this is the best carved jade Goddess of Mercy I’ve seen so far!”
Many of the surrounding audience listened with faces that would have been speechless, they all thought Tan Kee’s was good looking, but it turned out that Tan Kee scored zero points.
They were really tired of looking at this jade Guanyin, there were all over the market and they couldn’t tell what was good about it.
Suddenly hearing these words from the expert, many people sneered in their hearts.
Qin Li also let out a chuckle: your insight is really short!
No one lifted the score for Yuanfu Jewellery, they knew it was the highest, after all, He was always behind it.
“Well that’s the end of it.” The expert was about to sit down as soon as the microphone was put down.
At that moment Tan Chenghui quit, you don’t even give a f*cking reason for not giving points!
“Tan Jiji’s hasn’t said it yet!”
Tan Chenghui didn’t say anything, there were a few viewers who were not happy, several of them voted for Tan Ji’s, now Tan Ji’s scored zero points they were all very unhappy, surprisingly there was not even an explanation.
They felt in their eyes that they were treated like idiots by the organisers!
The expert figure gave a lurch and glanced at He Hongkang behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Impatience showed on He Hongkang’s face, but he still waved his hand, signalling to explain.
Otherwise it would not be easy to explain to the audience.
The expert nodded, his eyes narrowing as he sneered, “This Tan Ji’s, is the worst carving I’ve seen so far! No, he can’t even call it a carving, it’s a piece of junk! A complete and utter piece of rubbish!”
Boom!
In an instant, the entire arena hall was abuzz with people, turning their heads in a clamour to look at the expert!
Tan Chenghui and the others’ faces were red with anger, this was a f*cking obvious case of telling lies with their eyes open!
The expert even glanced at He Hongkang as he spoke, and when he noticed that He Hongkang was smiling, he became even more condescending: “Humph! I don’t even understand how Tan Ji has the face to bring up such rubbish!”
Tan Chenghui couldn’t bear it at once and stood up to look at the expert angrily, “Then tell me where the rubbish is! The audience has voted so much, what do you mean, the audience are all fools?”
“Yes!”
“How can this person speak!”
“And an expert, no manners at all, talking like that on such occasions, it’s outrageous!”
The surrounding audience also frowned at this moment.
When that expert saw that the reaction was so big, he was a little weak in his heart, he was just pleasing Mr. He, but he didn’t expect to get into such big trouble.
At that moment, he hurriedly spoke, “Don’t be disorderly, since you want me to explain, then fine I will explain to you!”
“The entire exhibits in the carving hall are all artworks such as vases, jade guanyin and so on, and this Tan Ji has actually carved a what? A bird!”
“I even saw that it was described as a phoenix, what a joke, have you seen what a phoenix looks like? There are no detailed drawings on the ancient texts, and you know the carving is a phoenix?”
“The way I see it, what you’ve carved is a bird!”
Tan Chenghui was shaking with anger, “Those lifelike feathers, are you blind!”
“This gentleman, please be polite!” The expert glared at Tan Chenghui, “That’s exactly what I’m saying, the whole carving, apart from the feathers, there’s nothing else to look at! Besides, this carving, haven’t you noticed that it doesn’t even have an eye!”
“A bird without eyes is a blind man, isn’t it? What is this kind of thing if not a defective product or rubbish? It’s all face to give him zero points, if I were to count the marks, they’d be rightfully minus a hundred!”
Tan Chenghui finally fell into his chair in anger: “b*****d b*****d b*****d b*****d b*****d!”
“Dad, be careful of getting angry and breaking your health!”
Tan Ziji bit his lower lip, “These b*****ds!”
Qin Li hadn’t spoken from the beginning, but at this moment he stood up, he slowly walked down the steps and opened the glass cabinet as the expert continued to point at his carvings and hurl abuse.
“Who’s that? What’s to be done!”
Someone around him spotted Qin Li’s movements.
The expert immediately frowned, “That gentleman, please do not move the carvings on the stage at will.”
Qin Li smiled, looking at the expert with a wide smile, which showed that he was really angry.
The audience, who were very close to him, instantly felt a chill coming straight at them, and they thought it was because the venue was air-conditioned.
Little did they know that it was Qin Li’s anger that had caused the aura in his body to go out of control!
Qin Li spoke slowly and suddenly a silver needle appeared in his hand.
“Do you know why I didn’t carve its eyes?”
Qin Li sneered as he looked towards the judges, “Because I believed that the judges’ eyes could see the beauty of this phoenix, but I was wrong!”
“I did not want to carve the eyes just for the people here to see it, because if I carved the eyes, it would have flown away. Unfortunately, there are too many people who pretend to be blind.”
Everyone in the room froze, especially the judges and experts, who instantly burst out laughing.
“Haha, is this man a fool?”
“A carving said it would fly?”
“It’s not like he’s pissed off, is it?”
The people at the judges’ table were gloomy, they felt that at the moment Qin Li was playing them for fools!
A carving that would fly away?
Are you a f*cking idiot?
“Kid, this is a competition venue, put down the exhibit and go back to your place immediately!” The expert’s face didn’t look good either, “A scrap with no eyes, no appreciation value, please go back!”
Qin Li’s eyes glowed coldly: “This is what I’ve been waiting for, why should I go back! Didn’t you say that this was rubbish? Then I will show you even more, the true face of this phoenix.”
Tan Chenghui and the others instantly froze when they heard Qin Li’s words, just now Qin Li said wait for it again.
Was this the moment he was waiting for?
What was different about this time?
Suddenly, everyone present saw the silver needle in Qin Li’s hand!
“He’s got a needle in his hand!”
“What does it want to do?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Li’s spiritual energy was injected into the silver needle, and with a forceful and deft swing under his hand, a pair of phoenix eyes were suddenly carved!
It was like painting the eyes of a dragon!
As soon as the eyes were carved, the whole venue fell silent!
Then, like an atomic bomb explosion, the whole place exploded in an instant!
Newsflash…!
The crowd could only see a radiant emerald green colour, rising from the sculpture, as the huge phoenix silhouette soared above the entire field!
Blinding the sky!
The next moment, the phoenix rushed out of the venue windows and into the clouds, out of sight!
But the sculpture in Qin Li’s hand at this moment seemed to be emitting a multicoloured glow!
But if you look closely, you will see that the emerald green colour is no longer in that jade.
All that was left was a white stone!
Dead silence!
The jury, the audience, the contestants, the experts!
Everyone was staring at Qin Li with their mouths wide open, at the sculpture in his hands!
“Now, do you still want to say that this is rubbish?” Qin Li looked straight at the judging panel.
Suddenly, one by two, one hundred, two hundred …… everyone in the entire venue stood up!
The shouts suddenly shot up into the sky!
“Tan Kee, the champion!”
“Tan Kee!”
“Champion!”
One by one, they waved their arms and shouted towards the judges’ box!
The entire judges’ stand was silent, each one’s face full of shock and disbelief.
It’s over, this time the winner seems to be Tan Ji!
“General He?” The expert trembled as he looked towards He Hongkang.
He Hongkang’s face was ironic: “Get the hell out of here! Tan Ji, Tan Ji, I want you all dead!”
