The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 568

C568 – The Person I Am Talking about Is You!

The crowd was already in a frenzy.

Lee Wangyang swelled with pride.

“Furthermore, today I have someone special to introduce to you all.”

“This individual is my disciple, and also my protege.”

“Despite his youth, he is exceptionally gifted and has mastered at least seventy percent of my skills.”

Lee Wangyang, sensing the atmosphere was ripe, raised his voice.

At that moment, the crowd made way.

A young man emerged, his face beaming with pride he could barely contain.

“Hello, everyone. I am Mr. Lee’s apprentice, Gao Yunfan. A few pieces in today’s exhibition are my own creations. Please, enjoy.”

Gao Yunfan’s eyes drifted to the side.

He spoke with a polite air, but the smug look on his face betrayed his true feelings.

“Wow! Is this… Oh my, to carve the Great Wall from such a large piece of jade, and with such lifelike detail, it’s nothing short of divine inspiration!”

“President Lee, you’ve truly discovered a gem this time.”

“Your disciple is so young, yet in his thirties, he has achieved such mastery. He’s destined to be a great master!”

“President Lee, it seems he has indeed surpassed the teacher!”

The local citizens simply clapped.

They weren’t well-versed in the art of carving, nor did they care much about who held the title of president.

Their interest lay in seeing Ann Chuxia.

But within the carving association, flattery was a must, and the compliments flowed incessantly.

How could Lee Wangyang not be thrilled? The praise was for his own disciple, after all.

Yet, he couldn’t let his pride show.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t overpraise the young man. He’s still maturing and needs to keep a level head. We wouldn’t want him getting too cocky.”

Lee Wangyang chuckled, “My disciple’s humble works are merely a prelude to greater things. I apologize for their simplicity.”

“Not at all. If Yunfan’s works are considered humble, then the rest of us might as well not bother.”

“Indeed, especially since he was trained by Master Lee himself.”

“We’re simply not in the same league!”

While everyone was busy showering praise, the white-haired elder, Vice President Wang, who often clashed with Lee Wangyang, stood by observing with a cool detachment, not uttering a single word.

Under normal circumstances, even he would have to acknowledge that the young disciple had considerable talent. Achieving such a level of skill at his age was no small feat.

But now…

To be honest, I’ve discovered someone even more impressive: Su Ming.

Compared to Su Ming, your disciple still has a long way to go.

“Besides that, I’ve got another announcement to make!”

Lee Wangyang and Gao Yunfan were smug for quite a while, and the area around them buzzed with excitement. Sensing the moment was ripe, Gao Yunfan cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and spoke up with confidence.

The crowd fell silent upon hearing him.

“Today, in addition to attending my master’s exhibition, I have a significant announcement to make.”

“I’ve been secretly in love with a girl for a long time, but I’ve always been too shy to confess my feelings. Today, however, in front of all of you, I’ve decided to muster up the courage!”

With a flourish, Gao Yunfan produced a large bouquet of roses from behind him as if by magic. He strode over to Ann Chuxia’s side and knelt on one knee.

“Ann Chuxia, I didn’t have much fame before and felt unworthy of you. But now, I’m about to become the vice president of the Sculpting Association. Please, promise me, be my girlfriend. I will make you happy!”

Gao Yunfan declared, his eyes shining with hope.

…

He had expected a round of applause, but the crowd just blinked and stayed quiet.

“Hmm?”

What’s happening here?

This isn’t quite how I pictured it.

Gao Yunfan was taken aback. He blinked, looking left and then right.

Hey, hey, hey!

What’s with the looks, folks? Why are you staring at me as if I’ve lost my mind?

Oh!

I get it now; you’re all green with envy!

The women must be thinking, ‘Why can’t I land such a perfect man?’

And the men, well, Ann Chuxia is the dream girl of countless fans, and here I am, boldly confessing to her. I’m confident she’ll say yes!

The guys must be heartbroken!

Hmph!

Your heartache is none of my concern!

I’m the epitome of cool, charm, and unbeatable style!

What do you have that can even compare to me?

“Ann Chuxia, I’ve always been fond of you. Please, say you’ll be mine!”

Gao Yunfan stood tall and proud, still kneeling on one knee.

His eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Uh…”

Ann Chuxia stepped back, facing a situation she had never encountered before. Previously, there would always be an agent or security personnel to assist her.

But now…

“Why not just focus on your carving? Why the marriage proposal?”

“Mr. Su and Ms. An are the real match. Who do you think you are?”

“It’s just not even close. It’s painful to look at.”

“How can a member of the Sculpting Association even think to compare himself to Mr. Su? Whether it’s looks or talent, he’s out of his league…”

Many Eastsea locals couldn’t resist making snide comments.

Even those who weren’t from around here, after being influenced by the locals, found themselves unable to refrain from adding their two cents.

“Huh?”

Gao Yunfan was utterly baffled.

What was happening here?

?This wasn’t how it was supposed to go…

Wasn’t this a bit much?

Who in the world was Mr. Su?

Which jerk is he?

I’m going to challenge him to a duel!

“Hey, this sculpture over here looks great, shall we check it out?”

Just then, Su Ming approached Ann Chuxia and gestured toward a nearby ivory carving.

“Sure!”

Ann Chuxia responded with a sweet smile, turned on her heel, and strode off with Su Ming.

Whoosh…

It was as if a breeze had swept through the area, leaving a few fallen leaves in its wake.

Gao Yunfan knelt on the ground alone, awkwardly holding a rose, as if proposing to thin air.

Damn it…

The rest of the Carving Association members stood in silence behind him, no one daring to speak up.

Today was supposed to be Lee Wangyang and Gao Yunfan’s turf.

Instead, they were utterly humiliated.

“Who are you? How dare you try to steal my woman?”

“Ann Chuxia, don’t let him deceive you. We’ve known each other for a long time, and you know how sincere I am.”

Gao Yunfan quickly got to his feet and shouted.

“This ivory carving is truly remarkable. The craftsmanship is exquisite, truly a rare gem.”

Su Ming and Ann Chuxia seemed not to hear him, continuing to heap praise on the sculpture.

“Oh? You understand carving?”

Hearing their conversation, Gao Yunfan’s eyes brightened, and a dark smile crossed his lips. “Do you have what it takes to challenge me? Let’s see who can win Ann Chuxia’s heart…”

Su Ming turned with a slight smile. “Gao Yunfan, Ann Chuxia is a person, not an object. If she were to fancy a street beggar, what concern is it of yours?”

“I…”

Gao Yunfan felt a surge of frustration, nearly choking on his own indignation. “Are you brave enough or not?”

“A challenge?”

Su Ming laughed heartily. “There’s no point in competing with someone who hasn’t even started their training.”

“Hmph! Sounds like you’re backing down.”

Gao Yunfan scoffed coldly.

“No, you’re mistaken. The untrained one I’m referring to is you.”

Su Ming’s gaze was piercing as he spoke deliberately.
