Chapter 225 Feeling ashamed
However, his question made the masters and disciples present laugh and cry. You don’t even know these basic carving tools?
Chen Luobai also felt a little embarrassed, muttering to himself: This kid, usually I can't find anyone to teach him even if I want to! Fortunately, Pei Hanjie came over quickly and briefly introduced the tools, which made the atmosphere less awkward.
Lin Fan had a rough idea after hearing this, so he picked up the carving knife and prepared to start his first carving experience. However, he looked at the mediocre jade in front of him, frowned, and said, "Master, this is my first time. The quality of this jade doesn't seem to be very good."
"Hahaha, after all, this is very memorable." Chen Luobai joked, but his words made everyone want to laugh. What's the matter? Do you still want a piece of top-grade jade?
However, in order to meet Lin Fan's requirements, Chen Luobai still ordered Pei Hanjie to go to Area A to get a better piece of jade. When Pei Hanjie appeared in front of everyone with the A-grade jade worth millions, everyone was stunned!
Several masters immediately understood: Lao Chen really seemed to value this, but did he really think so highly of him? You know, one cut of this jadeite worth millions could be ruined!
"How about this one? Try it." Chen Luobai looked at Lin Fan with expectant eyes.
"Okay." Lin Fan picked up the carving knife, took a deep breath, and nodded. Seeing this, everyone fell silent and focused their attention on his hands. Zhao Ziqing also looked at him nervously, feeling that this man could do it! He was too outstanding!
This guy is simply omnipotent!
"Oh, by the way, Master, what do you want me to carve?" Lin Fan asked easily under the attention of everyone.
"Ah, well, just come as you please, don't take it too seriously." Chen Luobai's mouth twitched slightly, secretly regretting that he had not communicated with his disciples in advance. Now, he made a fool of himself in front of his old friend.
"I understand." Lin Fan held the carving knife and stared at the jade in front of him, inspiration flowing like a spring.
He closed his eyes, sketched out the outline of the work in his mind, and then swung the knife decisively. The moment the carving knife touched the jade, a crisp "click" sound was heard, and the hardness exceeded his expectations.
Seeing this, several masters shook their heads. How could such a method of cutting produce a masterpiece? They felt that Lin Fan's knife sense was really lacking in maturity.
Chen Luobai frowned slightly. Although his knife strokes were correct, without sufficient speed and strength, the carving would be difficult to take shape.
However, just when they were doubtful, Lin Fan had already noticed the problem. He quickly injected his true energy into the carving knife. In an instant, the ordinary carving knife seemed to have turned into a magical weapon that could cut through iron like mud. The hard jade was easily cut like tofu.
With a crisp "click", a large piece of jade fell and landed steadily on the table.
Everyone was stunned and could hardly believe what they saw, but Chen Luobai's eyes suddenly lit up, his gaze fixed on Lin Fan's hands and carving knife, his heart filled with excitement.
Lin Fan seemed to have entered another world, and was completely absorbed in the carving. Every move of his knife was precise and swift, with debris flying everywhere. Soon, the prototype of the work gradually emerged.
Chen Luobai's expression turned strange. Could it be a turtle? Several masters also glanced at Chen Luobai. This old man had a special liking for carving turtles. This was no longer a secret in the circle.
However, they began to wonder: Is this guy really a novice? Why is his knife sense so sharp? And his speed so fast? Even masters like them would be ashamed of themselves!
About half an hour later, a lifelike turtle appeared in front of everyone. Although it was still not as good as the master's work, for a novice, it was an unprecedented miracle. You know, most people cannot carve such a work when they try to feel the knife.
"Master, what do you think of this?" Lin Fan handed the turtle to Chen Luobai. Chen Luobai looked at the work carefully and praised it repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good! Hahaha!" His excitement was beyond words, and his face flushed slightly with excitement.
The other Grandmasters also gathered around to watch, all of them were extremely excited. One of the Grandmasters, a bearded one, even said directly to Lin Fan, "Boy, are you interested in becoming my disciple?"
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" What was going on?
Chen Luobai was immediately furious: "Old Hu! I invited you here to attend the apprenticeship banquet, not to ask you to poach my girlfriend!"
"The apprenticeship banquet hasn't been held yet, so he is not considered your official disciple. This doesn't count as poaching, right?" The bearded master explained with a smile.
"Old Chen, don't be stingy. Haven't you always been thinking about my good wine? How about this, you give this disciple to me. Not only the wine, I can also give you some other wine. That's no problem!" The bearded master tempted.
"Get out!" Chen Luobai was furious. This guy was looking down on others. He was just daydreaming!
Other masters also began to get restless and extended olive branches to Lin Fan. They stared at Lin Fan with eyes as bright as hungry wolves seeing their prey!
Zhao Ziqing watched this farce from the sidelines and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This man is so amazing! To think that so many masters want him, I have to say, he is really too good!
The disciples couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when they saw the huge disparity between their master and Lin Fan's treatment. They had all gone through so much trouble to become his disciples! And now Lin Fan was asking the masters to beg him for help? What a stark difference in treatment!
"Thank you all for your kindness, Grandmasters." Lin Fan glanced at the somewhat uneasy Chen Luobai and declined with a smile, "But I already have a master, so I won't become his disciple again."
Hearing Lin Fan's rejection, Chen Luobai was almost moved to tears. This disciple's love was truly worth it! He felt like a lucky guy who stood out among many licking dogs, and received the firm choice and favor of a beautiful woman. This feeling was really great!
When the masters who had once enthusiastically pursued Lin Fan saw his firm refusal, they all felt an indescribable sense of loss in their hearts.
The bearded master still refused to give up. He urged anxiously, "Think about it again. I'll double what Lao Chen can give you!"
Lin Fan smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Even if you offer ten times as much, my choice will remain the same."
However, he thought to himself: Ten times? This is just empty talk. If you are really sincere, why not just reveal your true intentions?
Chen Luobai stared at Lin Fan, his heart filled with warmth. If it weren't for the public watching, he really wanted to hug this disciple who made him proud.
