Chapter 314: 【314】Why aren’t you surprised at all?
Tang Feng went to work at Ya Garden as usual the next day.
As soon as he entered the store, his master, Zhang Jicheng, pulled him into the back hall.
“Feng, the appraiser qualification assessnt is tomorrow, how well have you prepared?”
Caught off guard by his question, Tang Feng felt sowhat embarrassed.
He had been busy dealing with Qin Lishen these past two days. Had his master not reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about the qualification exam.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Jicheng grew displeased, “Do you realize how important this assessnt is to you? You must not be negligent. You have to take it seriously.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Tang Feng did not dare to argue and simply kept agreeing.
“I will now tell you about the assessnt’s rules and so points to note. Consider this a last-minute refresher. Learn as much as you can,” Zhang Jicheng said with a sense of resignation toward his disciple.
This guy clearly had extraordinary talent for the appraisal of antiques but had always shown a careless attitude, never taking the initiative to ask questions.
This gave him quite a headache.
“Alright, Master, you speak, I’m listening.” Tang Feng dared not further irritate the old man and quickly adjusted his attitude.
Zhang Jicheng looked satisfied and nodded, “The professional qualification assessnt involves very little theory; it’s mostly practical.”
“That puts my mind at ease.” Tang Feng managed to be serious for two seconds before slipping back into a playful grin.
Practical work was his forte.
With the system’s assistance, his appraisal skill was enough to outshine any expert.
But he was sowhat lacking in theory.
Mount Morality Immortal stood majestic and grand.
It stood at the center of the Central Divine Continent, like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens.
In fact, for tens of thousands of years, the Daode Immortal Sect had been situated upon this mountain, overlooking all beings from its lofty height.
However, today.
The pillar that countless cultivators of the Central Divine Continent looked up to, was now ‘subrged’ in surging vital energy.
The sound of rushing water echoed.
Brilliant and shocking vital energy, mighty and overwhelming, collided fiercely with the Sect Protection Array of Mount Morality Immortal.
At every instant, a vast amount of vital energy evaporated while also causing nurous sections of the Sect Protection Array to collapse.
Still.
The ‘subrging’ vital energy engulfing Mount Morality Immortal did not show any signs of slowing, seeming endless and boundless.
“What’s going on?”
“Has soone dared to attack the Daode Immortal Sect?”
“This red vastness is the power of vital energy? How can there be such imnse vital energy?”
Most of the Daode Immortal Sect disciples had yet to react.
Just monts ago, they were cultivating in their own caves, and the next, they felt terrifying fluctuations coming from the direction of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
Then.
This was the scene they were faced with now.
The grand Mount Morality Immortal had been ‘subrged’ in surging vital energy, and at this mont, countless formations within the mountain were activated, resisting the erosion of the vital energy.
“Did it hold?”
Upon seeing this, Sect Leader Mu Qingliu, not knowing why, felt a sigh of relief deep inside.
“The professional qualification exam is divided into junior, interdiate, and senior levels. Earning a junior qualification already makes one a professional appraiser, but it lacks authority. Only a senior qualification confers expert-level authority…”
“Can I take the junior, interdiate, and senior level assessnts all at once?”
Tang Feng asked, interrupting once more.
Zhang Jicheng was almost driven insane by his disciple’s bizarre questions.
For other appraisers, when taking the exam for the first ti, it’s common to opt for the easily passed junior qualification.
They first get the practicing license, then gain experience in the industry for a few years before taking the interdiate level.
Those eligible for the senior assessnt are often well-known individuals who have been in the antiques business for many years.
Soone like Tang Feng, who wanted to complete all three levels of assessnts in one go, could not be said to be unprecedented, but he was certainly extraordinary.
“While it’s possible, it’s still better to be cautious and not overambitious…” Zhang Jicheng couldn’t resist giving his disciple another earnest lecture.
Though Tang Feng agreed outwardly, he couldn’t help but disagree internally.
If he had the ability to pass with ease, why waste several years?
As Zhang Jicheng was explaining the specifics, Qin Yanan also happened to arrive at the store.
Upon seeing Tang Feng, she ran over excitedly, “I’ve got good news for you. Qin Lishen was arrested last night.”
“Oh,” Tang Feng nodded, showing little reaction.
“How can you be so unsurprised? I’m talking about Qin Lishen, Gao Shichang’s right-hand man. He was caught by security last night,” Qin Yanan thought he hadn’t heard her clearly, so she emphasised it again.
“I know, what about it?” Tang Feng looked at her with a puzzled face.
“Aren’t you at all surprised?” Qin Yanan, seeing his expression, wondered if she was being overly dramatic.
“What’s there to be surprised about? I was the one who sent him in,” Tang Feng revealed casually, dropping a bombshell.
“He was sent in by you? Are you joking?” Qin Yanan was imdiately struck speechless.
In Zhonghai, Qin Lishen was considered a significant figure, with the backing of Gao Shichang.
That such a ruthless character was toppled by Tang Feng seed utterly fantastic.
“Our enemy is Gao Shichang. What’s so startling about a re Qin Lishen?” Tang Feng felt she was making too much of a fuss.
Qin Yanan didn’t know what to say.
This guy was dismissing soone like Qin Lishen and even boldly declaring enmity with Gao Shichang.
If word of this got out, it would probably make a lot of people laugh, right?
“By the way, how did you topple Qin Lishen? Can you tell about it?” she asked, curious.
Feeling there was nothing to hide, Tang Feng explained the gist of the events to her.
“So you went to that neighborhood to find that woman in order to take down Qin Lishen?” Qin Yanan realised after hearing the story.
“That neighborhood? So you admit you were following ?” Tang Feng’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Caught having slipped up, Qin Yanan quickly covered her mouth, vehently denying, “No, I didn’t… I’m not that bored.”
“Really?”
Tang Feng leaned in close, staring intently into her eyes, “Look into my eyes and say that again.”
The distance between them was very close now, creating an intimate atmosphere.
