Chapter 314
"Qingfeng, Qi Lin, the Antique Challenge has begun . Who would like to authenticate the 3 pieces first?" Yanzhi Pei asked with a smile .
Of course, she wanted Qingfeng to authenticate first, that was why the reason she said her name first . The first person to authenticate had a slight advantage .
To her surprise, Qingfeng did not fight for the right to authenticate first . Instead, he said, "Qi Lin can go first . "
Qingfeng knew that Yanzhi Pei had good intentions . The first person to authenticate the antiques had a slight advantage . But he did not want the advantage . He wanted to defeat Qi Lin and for Qi Lin to admit defeat from the bottom of his heart .
If Qingfeng went first, Qi Lin would say that Qingfeng won because he had an advantage .
Now that Qingfeng let Qi Lin went first, Qingfeng was at a disadvantage . If he won, Qi Lin or the surrounding people would have nothing to say .
Qingfeng dared to do this because he was confident in his abilities . He was confident that he could defeat Qi Lin . To be honest, in the antique field, he did not have an opponent in Huaxia .
A flash of delight appeared in Qi Lin’s eyes . He walked towards the three antiques . If the other let him go first, there was no reason for him to reject the advantage . He only cared about winning Qingfeng . He did not care how he achieved his goal .
Qi Lin picked up the first antique – the <Bamboo Painting> by Dongpo Su . Upon careful examination, he discovered that the bamboo in the painting were upright and luscious . It was a rare piece .
But Qi Lin rejected the painting with a single glance . It was a high-end replicate . Why did he say that? It was because the <Bamboo Painting> only had 6 bamboos . The authenticate painting had 7 bamboos which represented the seven bamboo gentlemen .
"This <Bamboo Painting> is fake," Qi Lin said confidently .
Yanzhi Pei did not speak after hearing Qi Lin’s authentication as she would only reveal the results after the two of them had finished authenticating the pieces .
"Qi Lin, I will record your result . You can start authenticating the second piece," Yanzhi Pei said as she pointed to the Buddha bracelet .
Qi Lin smiled faintly as he walked towards the second piece of antique . The Buddha bracelet was exquisitely carved but it looked too white and clean . It did not have any signs of the age of time .
If the Buddha bracelet truly belonged to Cixi Empress, it would have a history of 100 years . The Buddha bracelet would not decompose or rust but it would have a thin layer of jade enamel on the bracelet .
Jade enamel was a thin layer which only Antique Masters and Antique King would be able to see .
However, Qi Lin touched the Buddha bracelet and did not find any enamel . Thus, it was not a piece from the Qing Dynasty . It was a modern replica .
"This Buddha bracelet is made of real jade but it did not belong to Cixi Empress . It is fake," Qi Lin said confidently with a light smile .
Yanzhi Pei furrowed her brows slightly when she heard Qi Lin’s words . She did not expect Qi Lin to be able to tell that the Buddha bracelet was fake .
The Buddha bracelet was carved by a modern jade master and gifted to Yanzhi Pei .
"Qi Lin, you can start authenticating the third piece of antique . " Yanzhi Pei did not critique his words; she asked Qi Lin to authenticate the third antique .
Qi Lin arrived before the third piece of antique and picked up the green jade pendant .
The green jade pendant had a thin layer of jade enamel on the surface . There was quite a lot of jade enamel . Furthermore, the words "Tai Bai" were graceful and majestic . It was clear it was an authentic piece .
When he held the green jade pendant, Qi Lin could even imagine the Bai Li’s vallant and handsome figure .
"The third piece is authentic," Qi Lin said .
Yanzhi Pei did not speak when she heard QI Lin’s words . However, the surrounding people had started discussing animatedly .
"As expected of the WS City King of Antiques! CEO Qi Lin is amazing . The green jade pendant looks authenticate . "
"Yes, CEO Qi Lin also said that the first piece and second piece are fake . That’s what I think too . "
"CEO Qi Lin is going to win the challenge for sure . Qingfeng Li is screwed . "
The surrounding crows all sprouted praise for Qi Lin . They believed that Qi Lin would win the challenge . Well, they were all WS City citizens so it was not a surprise that they favored Qi Lin .
Yanzhi Pei furrowed her brows and looked unhappily at the crowd . She was the main judge today . She had not even speak and the crows had started making their own judgments . What a brash crowd .
"Qi LI, your authentication results is that the first two pieces are fake and the last piece is authentic . Is that right?" Yanzhi Pei asked with a frown .
"Yes," Qi Lin said confidently with a nod .
He was very confident in his authentication . He believed that his results were all correct .
"I have recorded your authentication results . Now, we will invite Qingfeng to authenticate the three pieces," Yanzhi Pei said with a faint smile .
Qi Lin was very unhappy to see Yanzhi Pei smiling at Qingfeng . This woman would only talk to him with a frown or with a cold expression . But she was all smiles when she talked to Qingfeng . It was clear she was giving him the cold shoulder .
Even though Qi Lin knew that Yanzhi Pei was giving him a cold shoulder, he dared not reveal his displeasure . After all, her status was much higher than him . Blue Star Corporation still depended on her company to further develop .
Qingfeng smiled at Yanzhi Pei and walked towards the three antique .
He picked up the first antique the <Green Bamboo Painting> and placed it down almost immediately .
Then, Qingfeng picked up the Buddha bracelet and examined it carefully . He determined that It was a modern replica . The jade was real but it was not from the Qing Dynasty . His authentication conclusion was the same as Qi Lin; the Buddha bracelet was fake .
Qingfeng arrived before the third green pendant and examined it carefully . He discovered that the jade was pure and white, it had a thin layer of jade enamel . It was an authentic piece .
"The second jade bracelet does not belong to Cixi Empress . It is a fake piece . The third jade pendant is authentic and it belongs to Bai Li," Qingfeng said with a light smile as he revealed his conclusions .
"What about the first piece? Do you think it is authentic?" Yanzhi Pei aked .
"My results differ from Qi Lin . He thinks that the <Bamboo Painting> is fake but I think that it is authentic," Qingfeng said confidently with a faint smile .
