Chapter 384 Yin Tian’s Character_1

Hearing Fan Mingyuan’s voice, everyone’s gaze fell upon the center of the exhibition hall.

"Following the instructions of my master, this calligraphy conference has an alteration to what was done in the past,"

After he finished speaking, Fan Mingyuan deliberately paused, seeing that everyone was listening intently, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "The winner of this calligraphy conference will become my master’s disciple!"

As these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted into an uproar.

Previous calligraphy conferences also included calligraphy exchanges, but there were no substantial benefits for the winners.

But this time was different!

If one could win, they would be on par with The Four Sages!

Especially given Sir Wang’s status in the literary world, becoming Sir Wang’s disciple boded well for one’s future!

For a moment, everyone’s breathing became heavy with excitement, each wishing they could bring more than their full capacity to participate in the conference.

Fan Mingyuan was quite pleased with everyone’s reaction and smiled lightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t keep you with my idle chatter. Next, we’ll have the calligraphy exhibition by my master, and then it will be time for the calligraphy exchange."

With a wave of his hand, Fan Mingyuan saw staff lined up and approaching from afar.

These staff members were all carrying beautifully framed characters as they walked over from a distance.

Everyone also rose from their seats, crowding forward to admire the calligraphy.

The crowd was so enthralled that they almost wished to become one with the characters.

There weren’t many pieces featured in the exhibition this time, so it didn’t take long for everyone to finish their appreciation.

Microphone in hand, Fan Mingyuan chuckled, "I believe everyone has had their look, so let us start the auction. The highest bidder wins, and all the proceeds from the auction will go to public charity. Please bid generously."

The auction began.

For those pieces that Yin Tian didn’t even spare a second glance, the people present treated them as if they were sacred texts.

Even the least expensive piece sold for over a million!

The total auction price for just over a dozen calligraphy pieces reached an astonishing twenty-five million!

Those who successfully bid for the calligraphy pieces were overjoyed, treating their framed purchases like treasures and keeping them tightly by their side, as if afraid someone else might take them away.

As for those who didn’t win a bid, they stamped their feet and beat their chests in regret, wondering why they hadn’t brought more money with them this time.

"Heh..."

Yin Tian let out a light chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Qingge looked at Yin Tian, puzzled, and asked out loud.

"I’m laughing because they have never seen anything truly valuable and treat those items as treasures," Yin Tian remarked without hesitation.

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, Jiang Qingge nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if you put out that piece you wrote before... ahem, that one, it would completely outshine all these characters."

Yin Tian merely smiled lightly without responding.

At this moment, Fan Mingyuan spoke up again, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, we have a special segment."

He gestured toward the distance, and a staff member immediately brought over a new piece of calligraphy.

Fan Mingyuan glanced at Yin Tian from afar before he continued, "This character was written by a friend of my master. My master didn’t want to enjoy it alone, so he brought it out for everyone to view."

Everyone’s gaze was fully drawn to that piece of calligraphy.

With just one look, their eyes were locked and could not look away.

"Such an exquisite character! If it had been from ancient times, it would surely be a work passed down through generations!"

"It resonates with such force that it seems to penetrate the paper, brimming with murderous intent, containing the spirit of its author – the best character I have ever seen!"

"My God! Just by looking at this piece, I even feel a chill down my spine, as if there were a knife held to my neck..."

The crowd murmured in awe, utterly stunned by the character before them.

Even those who had purchased calligraphy earlier felt, upon comparing their own acquisitions with the new character, that what they had bought seemed pale in comparison!

"Brilliant writing!"

Jiang Qingge’s eyes sparkled, "The hand wielding the brush is like a knife – such an aura of golden cavalry and iron horses, I can almost sense the resolute and decisive nature of the person writing!"

Yin Tian’s eyebrows lifted, and he looked at Jiang Qingge with a teasing smile, "What does that person look like?"

Jiang Qingge’s cheeks flushed, and instead of answering Yin Tian’s question, she spoke very seriously, "This piece of writing... it is on par with that piece of yours!"

"It’s not just that," said Yin Tian softly, "Hanging this character in a house, it could also act as a guardian and ward off evil."

"How do you know?"

"Because I wrote it," Yin Tian replied, grinning at Jiang Qingge.

As these words were uttered, not only Jiang Qingge but also Su Qinwei and the others were stunned.

That calligraphy was written by Yin Tian?

But how could Yin Tian’s writing appear here?

While Yin Tian and the others talked, people had already started to scramble for the piece.

"Ten million! I bid ten million!"

"You’re being too stingy, I bid fifteen million!"

"Twenty million!"

The bidding grew increasingly fierce.

Suddenly,

The price for this single piece had already surpassed the total auction price of all Sir Wang’s previous calligraphy pieces!
