Chenpi just smiled at him, then sat down next to Jiu Ye very rudely, lying on the sofa opposite Jiu Ye in a Ge You-like posture.
His attitude can be said to be extremely arrogant. His behavior gives people the feeling that Jiu Ye is not the master of this house, but he is the real gangster bully.
"Master Jiu, to be honest, I recently found a jade Buddha at the Crescent Hotel, but I heard that it's not an authentic one, and I don't think it looks real. I heard that Master Jiu is an expert at identifying authentic ones, so I thought of asking Master Jiu to help me see if this jade Buddha is real or fake."
Chenpi spoke, then looked at the servants, his eyebrows slightly raised, but the meaning was self-evident.
"Yes, Fourth Master."
The servant immediately understood what he meant and respectfully presented the Jade Buddha Palace he had brought with him to Master Jiu.
Jiu Ye looked very calm throughout the whole process.
"Speak of the devil, and here he comes. I was thinking that this time it would be someone from the Nine Gates, but I didn't expect it to be Chenpi who just replaced Old Four."
Jiu Ye was thinking in his heart, but his face looked as dull as water, as if no matter what Chen Pi was doing, it could not affect his thoughts.
Seeing that he did not react, Chenpi took off the cloth that was wrapping the jade Buddha, then took the jade Buddha in his hand and handed it to Jiu Ye.
"Master Jiu, take a look. I feel like there's something odd about this jade Buddha. I think it's a fake."
Jiu Ye's mouth twitched helplessly. He had seen people being forced to do something, but he had never seen anyone do it in such a risky way.
The man had already personally handed the jade Buddha to him, so even if he didn't want to identify it, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Jiu Ye took the jade Buddha with a forced smile and looked at it carefully.
The workmanship and color of this jade Buddha are both very exquisite. The only shortcoming is the bottom, which looks rough as if it was deliberately polished. At first glance, it seems to lower the value of the entire object.
"So that's what happened..."
Immediately, Jiu Ye said to Chen Pi, "This jade Buddha is indeed a fake."
"Sure enough!"
When Chenpi heard this, he became very excited and started to speak immediately.
"I knew this was the case. The Crescent Hotel is really too unkind. They have already set up an auction, but they are still auctioning fakes."
As he spoke, he turned his scorching eyes towards Master Jiu, "Don't you think the people at the Crescent Hotel are being too unrefined? I think they are just relying on the good reputation of the previous auction and are now thinking about how to make money. They can even do such a thing. Aren't they destroying their own reputation?"
It was as if Chenpi was waiting for this opportunity. After Jiu Ye concluded that this thing was a fake, he kept insisting on this matter and kept saying bad things about the Xinyue Hotel.
When he had almost vented his anger, Master Jiu looked at him with a hint of amusement.
"Chenpi, to be honest, I also have one of these jade Buddha statues."
"You have some too?"
Chen Pi stared at Jiu Ye with eyes wide open, with a look of disbelief, as if this was something completely impossible.
Seeing Chen Pi's jaw-dropping expression of surprise, Jiu Ye finally understood the whole story.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart and couldn't help feeling sorry for Er Yuehong.
Er Yuehong was a well-known righteous man in Changsha. He wanted to teach an apprentice, but the apprentice turned out to be so sinister and vicious.
"I do have one in my hand. It was sent to me by a waiter from the Crescent Hotel before you came."
Jiu Ye spoke without changing his expression, then he looked at his servant and gave him a look, imitating Chen Pi's expression.
"Yes, Master Jiu."
The servant spoke quickly, then trotted to the side hall. When he came out again, he had a jade Buddha in his hand.
"Chenpi, look at this. This is the jade Buddha that Xinyue Hotel gave to me personally. I think this one must be real."
Jiu Ye spoke without changing his expression, and then, as if to get his revenge, he handed the jade Buddha in his hand to Chen Pi himself.
Chen Pi didn't know how to appreciate these things at all. He took the thing and looked at it from left to right, but still couldn't see any clues. "No, this can't be real. How can it be real?"
Chen Pi spoke to himself, his eyes showing both anger and disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible."
Jiu Ye spoke calmly, and then he stretched out a hand to point at the jade Buddha, "Look at the luster and texture, they are not comparable to ordinary jades, not to mention that this is an item sent by the Crescent Hotel. After all, the Crescent Hotel has been standing for a hundred years and is becoming more and more powerful. How could they fool me with a fake one?"
"Is this really true?"
Chenpi has a lot of courage, but when it comes to intelligence, he is just like an elementary school student in front of Jiuye, an experienced old fox.
Jiu Ye led him in with just a few words, and then continued to speak to Chenpi.
"This is indeed the real thing. I can be sure of that. Chenpi, I wonder who gave you this jade Buddha? It seems that it was not the Crescent Hotel that wanted to use this jade Buddha to deceive others, but someone else used this jade Buddha to deceive you."
Jiu Ye still spoke very calmly, but Chenpi's face was filled with more and more anger and disbelief.
However, he still believed Jiu Ye, and looking at the jade Buddha he had taken, he couldn't help but sneered twice.
"Master Jiu is worthy of being Master Jiu. His abilities are indeed not to be underestimated. This time, I, Chenpi, will make a fool of myself. I hope Master Jiu will forgive me. Now that the truth has been revealed, I will not bother you here anymore. Goodbye."
Chen Pi tried his best to control his emotions and said this almost with gritted teeth. Then, he left Jiu Ye's mansion with an angry face.
"No delivery."
Jiu Ye spoke coldly, and sneered behind Chenpi's back.
"You want to play this trick on me? What a pity. Your skills are still too shallow after all."
Chapter 92 Tangerine Peel
After Chenpi came out of Jiuye's house, his face became very gloomy.
"What on earth happened? Did Master Jiu give you a cold look?"
When Jude Kao saw Chenpi's appearance, a look of doubt flashed across his eyes and he asked tentatively.
"Look at the bad idea you gave me. You said that I should take this jade Buddha to Jiu Ye, which would definitely embarrass him and deal a heavy blow to the New Moon Hotel. But in the end, they took out the real jade Buddha, and I felt like a clown."
Chenpi spoke angrily, feeling depressed inside. He looked at Qiu Dekao with a very unhappy expression, as if he had been deceived.
Jude Kao always had a calm expression on his face, as if he had already expected it.
"The jade Buddha I gave you is real, but the one that Jiu Ye was able to make you believe is the real one. You should reflect on yourself."
"Are you saying that this is real?"
Chenpi asked in disbelief, and at this moment he seemed to understand something, with even more anger on his face.
So, I went to see Jiu Ye in person, intending to embarrass him, but I never expected that I would be the one being made a fool of.
At this time, Jude Kao was still looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Why aren't you surprised at all when something like this happens? Or did you plan for this outcome a long time ago?"
Chen Pi noticed that something was wrong with Qiu Dekao at this moment and spoke to him in a cold voice.
"I just think that Jiu Ye is not easy to deal with. This time I called you over with the idea of letting you test Jiu Ye. Now it seems to be true. Among the nine sects, Jiu Ye, who looks the most peaceful, is indeed the most difficult to deal with."
Jude Kao spoke up and told Chen Pi his initial thoughts.
"Okay, Jude. It turns out that I've been used as a gun by both of you this time. You think she's hard to deal with, so why don't you go and test her yourself? What do you mean by asking me to go over? Do you think I'm a stubborn person who's easy to bully?"
Chen Pi felt extremely unhappy when he thought about how he was played around by Jiu Ye. Moreover, Qiu Dekao now told him that he was just using him as a gun, and his purpose was not to embarrass Jiu Ye, but to test Jiu Ye's ability.
At this moment, he felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.
Qiu Dekao just smiled faintly, "Don't be angry, you are one of the Nine Gates now, so it is much better for you to come forward than for me. If I go and try by myself, I guess Master Jiu won't let me in."
Although he said this, Chenpi still felt extremely unhappy.
This feeling of being used as a gun would be very uncomfortable for anyone.
Chen Pi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and even felt a little bit unable to vent his emotions. He was silent for a while, and suddenly pulled out a gun from his arms, "Jude Kao, don't think that just because we are in a cooperative relationship now, I won't dare to do anything to you. If you really make me angry, I don't mind killing you too."
Chen Pi spoke coldly, his eyes were unusually cold.
Jude Kao did not expect his sudden abnormal behavior, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Pi was obviously a little dazed.
Then he couldn't help laughing again.
"why are you laughing?"
Chenpi asked in confusion, and became even more angry.
This Jude Kao seemed to be deliberately going against him.
"nothing."
Jude Kao shook his head and looked directly at Chen Pi. "I really admire you for this. Do you think killing people can really solve problems? This is only the way the weak solve problems. The truly strong will not bother to solve problems by killing people."
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm incompetent?"
Chen Pi's eyes also turned cold, and he spoke to Qiu Dekao in a deep voice.
"I don't mean anything. I just want to remind you that there is more than one way to solve the problem, and killing is the stupidest way."
Jude Kao looked at Chen Pi's increasingly cold gaze, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Let me tell you this! Even if you have the ability to kill Master Jiu now, will the people under Master Jiu be convinced by you? Now, if you kill Master Si and replace him and become one of the Nine Gates, will your master Er Yuehong look at you with new eyes? Let's not talk about the two of them, just talk about the people under Master Si, are they really 100% convinced by you?"
Jude Kao spoke word by word, feeling somewhat disdainful of Chen Pi's behavior of fighting and killing all day long.
"It's easy for you to say that. So, tell me, what should I do about this matter?"
Chen Pi still looked at her coldly, and then spoke to Jude Kao.
At this moment, he was still on the verge of a rage, and his emotions were extremely excited, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
Jude Kao looked at him as if he were an ignorant child, and he couldn't help but smile again.
Then, Jude pointed to his head and said, "Solving the problem here is 100 times better than using violence directly."
"for example?"
Chen Pi was actually aroused at this time and continued to speak to Jude Kao.
"This is very simple. For example, if you currently use violence most often, it is actually because this method brings you convenience, so when you encounter a problem, you subconsciously think of using violence first. However, you can try to use your brain."
When Jude Kao said this, his expression became more confident, "For example, when I asked you to go find Master Jiu just now, it wasn't because of anything else, I just wanted you to test him.
The jade Buddha I gave you is actually a real one, but Jiu Ye has the ability to make you believe that the one in his hand is the real one. This is Jiu Ye’s strategy.”
"You don't have to remind me again and again that I'm not as good as Master Jiu. Just tell me what I should do next."
When Chenpi heard him mention this matter again, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and spoke with gritted teeth.
