"If I lose, I'll kneel down, knock my head on the ground three tis, call you 'Daddy', and compensate you for the tens of thousands of losses for that pottery piece," Hao Jian confidently declared.
As soon as he spoke, everyone was a bit stunned. Had this guy gone mad? Seeking punishnt wasn't done this way, right?
Below the stage, Shu Ya was also shocked. This guy actually wagered such a high stake? Was he really capable?
"Wow, the teacher is so cool!" Zhao Yating exclaid excitedly.
"Classmate, is your teacher very skilled in pottery art?" Shu Ya asked Zhao Yating.
Zhao Yating first glanced at Shu Ya, and after realizing that Shu Ya was also very beautiful, her attitude turned sowhat cold, "Who are you?"
"I'm your teacher's, uh, friend." Shu Ya said with an embarrassed smile, initially wanting to say fiancée, but imdiately changed her words considering Qin Bing was by her side.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yating felt reassured and said, "The teacher once gave a teapot he made himself. Zhang Jia said it's worth over a million and even said the teacher is a master-level Pottery Artist. That's what Zhang Jia said."
Zhang Jia also nodded in agreent, "Judging by the shape and craftsmanship, as well as the artistic value of the teapot the teacher made, it really is worth over a million. It's the work of a master."
"Didn't you say you're the teacher's friend? Didn't the teacher tell you?" Zhao Yating asked in surprise.
Shu Ya didn't speak, feeling a rush of anger boiling within her.
Dammit, even Hao Jian's students knew he was a Pottery Artist, but she didn't know anything. How many things was he hiding from her?
Hearing Hao Jian speak with such self-assurance, Situ Junyan couldn't help but frown, feeling a foreboding premonition. Was this guy bluffing to intimidate , or did he really have so skills?
"What's the matter? Scared? If you're scared, let's just forget it."
Hao Jian mocked, intentionally provoking. At this point, if Situ Junyan refused, all the guests and buyers below would look down on him, and he wouldn't be able to sell his exhibits. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
"Who's scared? Since you're seeking your own demise, don't bla . I accept your challenge!" Situ Junyan snorted coldly, planning to make Hao Jian lose face in a while!
"Don't rush. I haven't stated your conditions yet. If you lose, you'll kneel down and call 'Daddy' three tis, then roll out of the Huaxia pottery art scene!" Hao Jian said with a cold laugh.
", lose? What a joke," Situ Junyan was sowhat angered. How could he possibly lose?
"Don't get so worked up. I said 'if,'" Hao Jian said with a superficial smile, his expression sowhat refined.
Watching this smile from below, Shu Ya imdiately felt a bad premonition because this smile was a sign that he was about to trick soone.
Whenever he was about to trick soone, the corner of his mouth would reveal such a smile.
Situ Junyan indeed fell for it and grunted angrily, "If I lose, I'll do as you said!"
"Everyone better listen up, and be my witnesses, in case soone tries to back out later!" Hao Jian told the crowd.
The people all had mixed feelings of laughter and helplessness, unclear where Hao Jian's confidence ca from.
"Old Master Sun, I'll have to trouble you to appraise later when the ti cos," Hao Jian then turned to look at Sun Hong, his attitude now respectful and polite.
"Sure," Sun Hong nodded. He too was curious whether this young man could defeat Situ Junyan.
"Then let's start!" Situ Junyan urged, already impatient to see Hao Jian make a fool of himself.
"What's the hurry, rushing to acknowledge your daddy?" Hao Jian asked with a cold laugh.
"What's the point of arguing? Let's see the truth through a contest of skills!" Situ Junyan was very annoyed by Hao Jian's words.
"If you can't even win in an argunt against , there's no need to talk about anything else, right?" Hao Jian scoffed, and without giving Situ Junyan a chance to reply, he turned and walked towards his side.
anwhile, Situ Junyan stood in place with a savage expression for a few seconds before sullenly walking back to his side and roaring, "What are you doing?"
"Whatever!"
"Style?"
"Whatever!"
"Material?"
"Whatever!"
Situ Junyan asked angrily, "Why is everything so casual with you, do you even understand pottery art?" Hao Jian's indifference was clearly an excuse.
Hao Jian glanced at Situ Junyan with a cold look in his eyes, "I'm just not trying to bully you by letting you choose, idiot!"
"Alright, alright, if you're looking to die! Then don't bla ! Let's go with Blue and White Porcelain then!"
Situ Junyan said with his eyes nearly bursting, Blue and White Porcelain was his forte, Hao Jian allowing him to choose was practically courting death!
"Is Situ Junyan's Blue and White Porcelain very powerful?" Shu Ya asked Zhang Jia.
"I am not his equal," Zhang Deqi interjected, sighing slightly, for even he had to admit that Situ Junyan's mastery of Blue and White Porcelain was indeed a cut above his.
"Isn't Hao Jian in danger then?" Shu Ya exclaid.
"No worries, Teacher will definitely win!" Zhao Yating said confidently.
Shu Ya was taken aback, "Why are you so sure?"
"I just know," Zhao Yating huffed, her face filled with a smile.
Seeing this, for so reason, Shu Ya suddenly felt a bit upset.
"Then it's Blue and White Porcelain!" Hao Jian shrugged nonchalantly, as he was knowledgeable and skilled in both Western and Chinese pottery arts; it didn't matter to him what to make.
"You just wait to kneel and kowtow to !" Situ Junyan sneered darkly and began to work.
The making process began, and Hao Jian completed the six steps one by one, wedging, throwing, sculpting, painting, printing, and glazing.
During Hao Jian's making process, Sun Hong, who had been observing all along, noticed a very peculiar detail—that Hao Jian actually carved characters before firing them in the kiln, and what's more, it was an internal engraving.
Sun Hong was astounded, it was clearly the work of a master, he could never have imagined that an invitation to an exhibition for the disabled could have led him to et a master-level Pottery Artist.
And this guy was so young; to have such skill at this age, it was nothing short of genius!
This ti was rather lengthy, taking over two hours for both to finally complete their work.
Situ Junyan was very satisfied with his Blue and White Porcelain, so his glance towards Hao Jian's piece was full of mockery.
"Now for our Old Master Sun to comnt."
Tang Liya had barely started speaking when Sun Hong dashed onto the stage and grabbed Hao Jian's hand.
After grabbing Hao Jian's hand, he wouldn't let go, full of excitent, "Master! Oh, master!"
"Old Master Sun, what are you talking about?" Tang Liya asked with a sowhat rigid expression.
Sun Hong pointed at Hao Jian and said, "Ladies and gentlen, this man is the real master-level pottery artist, truly deserving!"
Everyone was shocked and bewildered.
What did Sun Hong an by this, that Hao Jian was the real master? Then what about Situ Junyan?
