Fortune Chapter 149

“Older brother Ming Shan, how could you not inform my brother of such a big event as your acceptance of a disciple?”

The old man in his seventies among the four people who had come here looked at Zhou Mingshan and smiled lightly, the smile on his old face gave people a sincere feeling that made them feel good about him, but Zhou Mingshan and Ye Han did not feel half as good about him, because this man was the real helmsman of Ning’s jewellery, the King of the North’s gambling stones, Ning Haotian, a master-cla*s figure who was equally skilled in gambling stones and carving.

He had come to Shanhai City today!

As for the other three people, they were naturally Ning Siyuan and Ning Feng, as well as a handsome young man. Zhou Mingshan had accepted Ye Han as his disciple, and they had deliberately hung around until the end to come, only that they were not simply here to congratulate him.

As the saying goes, when enemies see each other, they see each other in a different light. At this moment, Ning Feng looked at Ye Han and gave a cold laugh, making his handsome face a little bit more fierce. Seeing the arrival of the Northern King of Gamblers, many people in the hotel looked this way, one was the Southern King of Gamblers and the other was the Northern King of Gamblers, both of whom were outstanding figures in the same field.

Zhou Mingshan and Ning Haotian were rivals when they were young and did not give way to each other, and everyone in the hotel who had some ability knew this.

Zhou Mingshan looked at Ning Haotian and smiled; “I didn’t expect that Brother Ning would still like to walk around at such an old age, I thought that Brother Ning had already gone to some place to recuperate and enjoy his old age in peace, if I knew that Brother Ning was still in such good health, I would have said something to inform you, please come inside.”

“Oh, old brother Ming Shan, is this little fellow the disciple you took in?” Ning Haotian had no intention of taking a step, he looked at Ye Han with those old eyes as if he was admiring him, Zhou Mingshan smiled; “Not bad, it’s him, I wonder what Brother Ning thinks of him?”

“Not great.” Ning Haotian smiled lightly and said something that made Zhou Mingshan’s face stiffen, in front of so many guests, Ning Haotian was deliberately embarra*sing him, seeing this, Elder Lin, Lin Baimo as well as Eldest Tang and Zhou Yun’er all walked over, their faces were not very good, now anyone would know that this Ning Haotian was here for trouble.

Zhou Mingshan sneered; “Does Brother Ning mean that this disciple of mine is not able to meet your eyes? Or is it that I, Zhou, have poor eyesight?”

Upon hearing this, Ning Haotian smiled and said; “Elder brother Ming Shan, I didn’t say that, but I have recently taken on a disciple as well, so why don’t we let them have a competition to see who is better between them?”

Zhou Mingshan’s eyes changed, this was only Ning Haotian’s purpose for coming here, a competition, how could this be possible, he hadn’t even taught taught taught Ye Han any of the art of carving, Zhou Yun’er and the others’ faces likewise changed after hearing these words.

Zhou Mingshan let out a deep breath and said; “It’s fine if you want to compete, but not now, Brother Ning shouldn’t be deliberately breaking up my stage today, right?”

“Of course not, but I’m afraid this decision is a bit too hasty for the disciple that Brother Ning is going to take on, you and I are both carving connoisseurs, we can’t pa*s on this craft to a mediocre person, in order for Old Brother Ming Shan to make the right decision, I think it would be better to let my untalented disciple compete with him, how about that?” Ning Haotian looked at Zhou Mingshan with a smile on his face, but he was pressuring him step by step with these words, not giving Zhou Mingshan a way back at all, if Zhou Mingshan pushed back, it would just show that Ye Han was inferior to Ning Haotian’s disciple.

For a moment, Zhou Mingshan’s face grew colder and colder, Ning Haotian had given him this dilemma, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger.

Seeing this, Ning Feng smiled towards Ye Han and said; “What, you don’t dare to compete?” After saying this, Ning Feng looked at Zhou Yun’er again; “Yun’er, take a look, this is the man you chose, being a man without any guts at all, how can such a person he be worthy of you?”

Zhou Yun’er snorted coldly and said; “Even if my man is no longer good, he is still a million times better than you, Young Master Ning, if you have the ability, you yourself started with nothing and have reached the point where my man is now?”

At these words, Ning Feng’s face was incomparably cold, and both fists were clenched tightly.

Ye Han didn’t bother with this Ning Feng at all, comparing carvings right now really wasn’t his strong point as he hadn’t learnt it at all, but this Ning family’s people were pressing hard every step of the way, so I was only afraid that it wouldn’t be possible if he didn’t compare.

“Teacher, since this old man is willing to put on a show for all the guests on this big day today, why don’t we oblige them, it just so happens that I would also like to see what the disciples taught by the King of Northern Gamblers are capable of, to make certain people so mad.” Ye Han looked at Ning Haotian and smiled lightly, hearing him say this, Ning Haotian smiled and nodded, not angry at all.

Zhou Mingshan gave Ye Han a glance and laughed bitterly in his heart as he lowered his voice and said; “How is this kid of yours going to compete with others when he hasn’t even studied the art of carving?”

“So, it’s up to the teacher to teach on the spot.” Ye Han smiled faintly and continued; “What’s more, even if you lose, so what? Whether I am capable of becoming your disciple or not, you just know clearly in your heart, so why bother with other people’s comments, do I have to go through all the trouble of explaining to those hundred idiots when a hundred of them call me stupid? Wouldn’t that make me even more foolish.”

At these words, Zhou Mingshan suddenly laughed and said; “Well said, why should my disciple need others to comment on him, good, Brother Ning, I will agree to your request for a competition, consider it a show for the friends who have come here today, winning or losing doesn’t matter because I know in my own heart how capable my disciple is.”

Upon hearing Zhou Mingshan’s words, the people inside the hotel all became interested and stood up, carving a competition, many of them had never seen one before.

Ning Haotian smiled lightly and said; “In that case, then let them each prepare, it just so happens that I would also like to see what this beloved disciple of Old Brother Ming Shan is capable of.”

The two men smiled at each other and nodded, but there was a cold sharpness in that smile that blossomed out, and then Zhou Mingshan sent someone to prepare the carving knives and jadeite, something that the Ning family did not need to prepare as they had already brought it, so one could imagine that this Ning Haotian really did not have any good intentions from the start.

The handsome young man had already taken out a piece of jadeite and several sharp knives, which were of various kinds, somewhat like scalpels, but much sharper than scalpels.

At this moment, under the gaze of the surrounding guests, the handsome young man was seen smiling coldly at Ye Liang and said; “Remember my name, my name is Leng Fan, today you are destined to lose at my hands.”

“Probably.” Ye Han smiled lightly and said; “The visitor is a guest, why don’t you come first, no need to wait for me, at the end of the day anyway, as long as I carve the item out.”

Right now Ye Han had no jadeite in his hand, nor did he have a carving tool.

“Then you’ll see.” Leng Fan smiled coldly, his hand brushed over those carving knives placed on the table, and finally took out a bright and shiny knife and carved on top of the piece of jadeite he was holding, his hands were strong and steady like a mountain, his eyes were like electricity, seeing this, Zhou Mingshan’s eyes suddenly stared, this disciple of Ning Haotian seems to be not simple!
