Chapter 167 The Student Surpasses the Master



Isn't this just ordinary relief carving?

And, to be honest, its processing is very rough. In the eyes of a true master sculptor, it would be nothing more than a dish.

Zheng Quchi smiled, his eyes crinkling, and readily agreed.

The shopkeeper and those around her were astonished by her quick answer.

The shopkeeper assumed she was either clueless or mentally challenged, and never believed she was a true expert.

"You...you're just letting her make the decisions?"

The shopkeeper hadn't forgotten Wang Zebang and Fu Rong, who had appeared at the beginning. Now that this young man said he would challenge on their behalf, he naturally had to ask carefully whether this was true or not.

As for Wang Zebang and Fu Rong, after the general's wife appeared and took control of the whole scene, they automatically became "invisible" and stopped making a sound.

When the shopkeeper pulled the two "invisible men" out for questioning, they both replied in unison, "She has full authority to make this decision."

The shopkeeper was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

This young man didn't look as well-dressed as the two men, but judging from their attitude towards her, he inexplicably gave off a superior-subordinate vibe.

This is quite strange.

But the shopkeeper didn't think much of it at the moment. Seeing that they agreed, he said with a smug look on his face, "Okay, okay, you guys are really confused. Fine, if she accepts this challenge and fails later, I've already said beforehand that your deposit will not be refunded."

This condition was clearly not included in the original terms and conditions set by the owner of Jinxing Inn; it was added by the owner on the spot.

No problem, he raised the stakes, and Zheng Quchi also raised his: "If I succeed, you will waive the room and board expenses for our team for a year."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes widened: "What arrogance! Take a look at the carvings on this doorpost. Do you think you can fix it? Don't think you can just do it because you know a little about carving. Let me tell you, if you can really fix it, I'll promise you. But if you fail, you'll have to pay for this doorpost!"

Zheng Quchi raised an eyebrow: "You're the one with a big mouth. Let's make a pact here, with everyone as witnesses, and it's not to be taken back."

The shopkeeper was full of confidence. He patted his big belly and sneered, "Whoever goes back on their word is a coward."

Very well, in her life, what she liked most was this kind of arrogant, ignorant, and yet wealthy and powerful person.
