While Old Master Wang looked pleasantly surprised, Ye Fan was a bit confused. The kind-looking old master before him seemed very familiar; it seemed that he had seen him somewhere before. Quickly, Ye Fan remembered—he had encountered Old Master Wang leisurely strolling through the antique market before, and he had even helped him appraise an antique.
"Remember now?" Old Master Wang said heartily, beckoning to Ye Fan, "If it hadn't been for you, I probably would have been swindled." He signaled Ye Fan to sit beside him—a gesture that seemed inconsequential to Ye Fan, but it caused a massive stir among the other onlookers.
What was Old Master Wang's status? For him to take the initiative to invite a young man to sit beside him spoke volumes of how much he valued Ye Fan.
Ye Fan went over and sat down beside Old Master Wang, then said, "I never expected we'd meet again this way."
