Wan Shaoling had been observing every movement of Ye Feng since he handed over the wine glass.

He noticed that Ye Feng, after taking the wine glass, first looked indifferently at the glass, then gently swirled it, followed shortly by a subtle sniff near the tip of his nose!

These three actions were executed seamlessly, as natural as drinking water or eating food.

While these actions might seem ordinary, only those who truly understood wine tasting would know that these were indeed the most standard wine tasting movements.

Wine tasting is actually a profound art, consisting of look, swirl, sniff, taste, and savor!

And the three careless actions performed by Ye Feng were exactly look, swirl, sniff, but he had not yet tasted, let alone savored!

Seeing this, Wan Shaoling was shocked in his heart.

He could now confirm that Ye Feng was certainly not some worthless driver, because even those slight movements showed that he was definitely an expert in wine tasting!

Moreover, the natural fluidity of his actions indicated that he must have tasted countless high-quality wines; otherwise, they wouldn't be so standard and natural.

"Ye, why aren't you drinking? Surely you're not refusing to give me, Wan Shaoling, face?"

Wan Shaoling saw that after Ye Feng sniffed, he continued to hold the wine glass without a sip, his expression stiffening, then he asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth twisted with a playful, almost sinister smile:

"The wine is not good, and the person is not good either! I never savor the taste of bad wine, just like I never give face to bad people!"

Ye Feng's words were incredibly sharp, and upon their utterance, they instantly stiffened the expressions of Wan Shaoling and Qi Jian, turning them grim.

Wan Shaoling's eyes flickered with a hint of cold light, though it was deeply hidden. His smiling face remained unchanged as he asked in confusion:

"I'm not sure what you mean by that, Ye? Could it be that this wine is not good?"

At this moment, the others also turned their gaze towards Ye Feng, not understanding why he was so disrespectful when Wan Shaoling was kindly offering a toast.

With a smirk curling up at the corners of his mouth, Ye Feng then lifted the wine glass, his expression mocking:

"Wan, bringing a bottle of fake wine to deceive me, what do you think I mean?"

Huh?

Ye Feng's words stunned everyone, and they all looked at the red wine in the tulip wine glass, their curiosity piqued.

The wine looked no different from ordinary red wine, and since Ye Feng hadn't even tasted it, how could he know it was fake?

Wan Shaoling also furrowed his brows; he had casually grabbed this bottle of wine, checking its label, which stated it was a 1987 Bordeaux from Kelude winery.

This type of wine could only be considered average in quality but was definitely not fake, and in a high-end club like Eastern Pearl, there shouldn't be any fake wines.

"Ye! If you have a problem with me, you can just say it. But I come with good intentions to offer you a toast, and you call it fake wine. What does that mean?"

The smile on Wan Shaoling's face disappeared completely, his gaze towards Ye Feng turning somewhat hostile.

His intention was to test Ye Feng's cultivation and manners. If Ye Feng knew nothing of these, he could deal with him anytime.

But if Ye Feng indeed possessed deep cultivation and was skilled in manners, it would imply that he had a strong background, and dealing with Ye Feng would require a long-term strategy.

One could say, this bottle of wine was merely a tool for Wan Shaoling to test Ye Feng, but he had not expected the other to declare it fake.

At this moment, the rest of the people in the private room also saw this scene, especially after realizing that the two people clashing were Wan Shaoling and Ye Feng, the music inside the private room stopped again, and one after another, the offspring of the privileged walked towards this spot.

Wan Shaoling was one of the most outstanding young talents in Mingzhu City, and the superhuman abilities Ye Feng had just displayed were equally taken very seriously by these people.

Now, it seemed that there was a conflict between the two, which was definitely a big drama.

Every gaze was intense, all looking towards Ye Feng and Wan Shaoling, seemingly trying to determine which of the two had greater abilities.

Seeing that Wan Shaoling did not admit, the smile on Ye Feng's lips became more pronounced, and he picked up the bottle of wine to take a look:

"Bordeaux Kelude Vineyard '87 red wine! The label is correct!"

Having said that, Ye Feng turned his eyes towards Wan Shaoling:

"Seeing that Mr. Wan is also a connoisseur of wine, you must know that this wine, among the array of red wines produced by the Bordeaux Kelude Vineyard, is not considered precious! But even so, it has the lineage of the Bordeaux Kelude Vineyard, which means, 'Flower falls into four petals,' and this method of identification can also be applied to it!"

Flower falls into four petals!

To ordinary people, this term meant nothing, but to the offspring of the privileged who often dealt with red wine, it was clearly understood as an identification method for red wines from the Bordeaux Kelude Vineyard, which involved evenly dropping a drop of wine on glass, where it would splatter into four droplets.

And named for its petal-like bright red tint, it was called 'Flower falls into four petals'!

"So Young Master Ye wanted to check the authenticity of this bottle of wine?"

By now, Wan Shaoling understood as well, and his lips began to curl into a cold smile; he didn't believe that Eastern Pearl would really serve counterfeit wine to its guests.

In fact, not just him, but everyone in the private room, including Jiang Ying, did not believe it would happen. As one of Mingzhu City's, and even China's most famous high-level clubs, its clientele were mainstream figures in society. Selling fake wine here was an utterly idiotic act of ruining their own reputation.

Little Monkey, worried Ye Feng would make a fool of himself and destroy the cool, heroic image established earlier, quickly grabbed Ye Feng's arm and whispered in persuasion:

"Brother-in-law, this is Eastern Pearl, there's absolutely no fake wine here!"

Although Jiang Ying did not speak at the moment, her expression was somewhat solemn, clearly also very worried about Ye Feng making a fool of himself.

However, she understood Ye Feng better and knew he definitely had his reasons, and at the moment she did not speak out to stop him.

Hearing Little Monkey's words and seeing that everyone else was disbelieving, Ye Feng's smile grew more amused, and then he nodded and said:

"Yes! I really do want to check the authenticity of this wine!"

"Good! Since Young Master Ye insists, let's proceed with 'Flower falls into four petals'!"

Wan Shaoling and Qi Jian both knew, this was when Ye Feng would make a fool of himself.

Then, they exchanged a glance, both flashing a teasing smile, and then moved to a glass coffee table with tulip wine glasses in hand.

This kind of coffee table was entirely made of crystal glass, crystal clear – if red wine were dropped on it, it would be extremely noticeable and suitably perfect for 'Flower falls into four petals.'

Then, everyone gathered around the crystal glass coffee table, all eyes on Wan Shaoling.

Wan Shaoling smiled slightly, then extended a finger, dipped it in the red wine in the glass, and then steadily placed his finger about a foot above the coffee table.

The bright red liquid slowly gathered down Wan Shaoling's finger and within the blink of an eye formed a droplet hanging from the fingertip, and then the droplet fell, landing on the coffee table.
