After Divorce, Bewitching Female CEO Pursues Me - Chapter 25

As Chen Ping finished speaking, everyone turned their attention towards him.

 

They saw that what was just a piece of wood a moment ago had now transformed into the head of an eagle, bearing no difference from a real eagle, whether it was the feathers or the beak, everything was carved with exquisite detail, incredibly lifelike, especially those eagle eyes, with just one glance, sending shivers down one’s spine, as if it wasn’t a wooden carving in front of them, but a living, breathing eagle.

 

“This… it’s really carved!”

 

Everyone was astonished.

 

Li Yunhao and Su Wanyun also widened their eyes in disbelief, never expecting Chen Ping to actually be skilled in carving.

 

“Hmph! So what if you can carve?” Li Yunhao still couldn’t accept it, sneering disdainfully, “Even if you can carve, can you carve better than Master Gu?”

 

“Someone like you, in the antique street, would just be an apprentice. Anyone who has been an apprentice for a year can carve like this, it’s just basic work, nothing impressive!”

 

“Yeah, basic work, nothing special.”

 

After hearing Li Yunhao’s words, people around agreed, nodding in assent.

 

They had initially thought that Chen Ping’s carving skills were exquisite, but now they realized it was just basic work, almost fooled.

 

One by one, the admiration in their eyes quickly disappeared.

 

Su Wanyun’s astonished gaze also returned to normal at this moment.

 

“Nonsense!”

 

Just then, a deep voice resounded, and everyone turned to look.

 

They saw an old man in his sixties, dressed in green, approaching.

 

Upon seeing this old man, everyone bowed.

 

“Master Gu!”

 

“Master, you’re here!”

 

“Hello, Master!”

 

…

 

The old man nodded and walked towards Chen Ping.

 

Li Yunhao’s face lit up with joy upon seeing Master Gu, immediately going to greet him.

 

“Master Gu, this person named Chen Ping said—”

 

“Shut up!” Before Li Yunhao could finish, Master Gu suddenly interrupted, “If you don’t understand carving, don’t speak nonsense and embarrass yourself!”

 

“Huh?” Li Yunhao was stunned, his face full of confusion, “Master Gu, what do you mean by that?”

 

Master Gu ignored Li Yunhao and instead walked quickly to Chen Ping’s side, his eyes fixed on the eagle carving in Chen Ping’s hand as if he had seen a great beauty, his expression extremely excited,

 

“Mr. Chen, may this old man have a look at this eagle carving?”

 

Everyone: “…”

 

All were astonished.

 

Master Gu was the undisputed leader in the carving world, why was he so excited?

 

Chen Ping calmly replied, “You have some insight! Feel free to take a look!”

 

With that, Chen Ping handed the eagle carving over.

 

Everyone: “…”

 

They all remained silent, exchanging glances.

 

Master Gu carefully took the eagle carving, holding it as if it were a treasure, examining it in his hands, again and again, the more he looked, the more his body trembled, after trembling for a full three minutes, he exclaimed,

 

“This is the Divine Eagle!”

 

“I never thought that even with half a foot in the grave, I could still witness the Divine Eagle with my own eyes, this life, no regrets!”

 

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

 

What is a Divine Eagle?

 

“Master Gu, what is a Divine Eagle?”

 

“It doesn’t seem any different from ordinary carvings, what’s so divine about it?”

 

“It’s not even as good as the one in Mr. Li’s hands!”

 

People around were all puzzled.

 

Master Gu’s face turned serious, saying,

 

“If you don’t understand, then don’t speak nonsense!”

 

“The eagle carving in Mr. Li Yunhao’s hand, though made by me, is trash compared to Mr. Chen’s eagle carving!”

 

“Boom!”

 

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s minds seemed to be bombarded by thunder.

 

Master Gu actually admitted inferiority with his own mouth?

 

How could this be?

 

“Master Gu!”

 

Li Yunhao was extremely unwilling and dissatisfied, pointing at Chen Ping’s eagle carving, “Are you sure you didn’t misjudge without your glasses? Or, do you need to take a closer look?”

 

“Smack!”

 

Master Gu slapped Li Yunhao across the face,

 

his face dark, roaring, “Are you saying that I, the old man, have bad eyesight and made a mistake?”

 

“Huh?” Li Yunhao was stunned, quickly waving his hands and explaining, “Master Gu, you misunderstood, I, I didn’t mean that, I—”

 

“Shut up!” Master Gu scolded angrily,

 

“What? Still not convinced? Fine, today I’ll make you convinced!”

 

After saying that, Master Gu called out to Mingde Pavilion, “Bring three different magnifying glasses and a microscope over here!”

 

“Yes, Master!”

 

Soon, several apprentices from Mingde Pavilion brought over magnifying glasses and a microscope.

 

Master Gu picked up one magnifying glass, “This magnifying glass can magnify ten times. See if you can find any difference between Mr. Chen’s eagle carving and mine?”

 

Li Yunhao’s face was still in pain, but the other party was Master Gu, he dared not offend, so he could only endure the pain and took the magnifying glass to observe, his face filled with astonishment.

 

“See anything?” Master Gu asked.

 

“Mr. Chen’s carving and Master’s carving are equally remarkable!”

 

“Switch to a 20x magnifying glass and continue!”

 

“Okay!” Li Yunhao switched to the magnifying glass and continued observing.

 

“Now?” Master Gu asked again.

 

“Still equally remarkable!”

 

“Switch to the third one!”

 

Li Yunhao followed the instruction.

 

“Now?”

 

“Still equally remarkable!” After saying that, Li Yunhao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

 

If it was only magnified ten times, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

 

But magnifying successively to twenty times, fifty times, yet Chen Ping’s eagle carving still remained equally remarkable compared to Master Gu’s, this was extraordinary.

 

“Use the microscope!” Master Gu said again.

 

“Okay!” Wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Yunhao used the microscope to observe.

 

Then—

 

“This… this…”

 

After observing for a while, Li Yunhao trembled all over, his face full of astonishment.

 

“See any difference?” Master Gu asked Li Yunhao.

 

“No, it’s impossible—”

 

“Under the microscope, on Chen Ping’s eagle carving, why is every part an eagle’s head? Each one, comparable to the size of a cell, yet they form a larger eagle’s head, and so on, forming a visible large eagle’s head. How did he do this? Could it be that his eyes were made by the microscope?”

 

“Smack!” Master Gu slapped Li Yunhao across the face again, rebuking,

 

“Just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean others can’t!”

 

“This is the Divine Eagle. As the name suggests, it is divine-level carving technique!”

 

“In our profession, most people only know about dividing carving into three levels: heaven, earth, and human, but in reality, in heaven carving, there is also divine carving!”

 

“Anyone who can reach the realm of divine carving, even if it’s a single cell, can be carved!”

 

“I’ve been studying for decades, and I’ve only reached heaven carving, but Mr. Chen, at the age of thirty, has already reached divine carving, truly broadening my horizons! I’m ashamed of myself.”

 

“Please accept my bow!”

 

Afterwards, Master Gu bowed to Chen Ping as a sign of respect.

 

Everyone: “…”

 

They were all speechless.

 

That was the undisputed leader in the carving world of the antique street, actually bowing to Chen Ping.

 

This…

 

For a moment, people around all turned to look at Li Yunhao.

 

Li Yunhao: “…”

 

He was dumbfounded, never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Chen Ping’s carving skills would truly surpass the undisputed leader of the carving world in the antique street, Master Gu…
