"Tang Zheng, don't spout nonsense. I've never been to school. I'm not a burden," Li Xiaotian corrected him.
Everyone around them perked up their ears. When they heard that Li Xiaotian had never been to school, they all looked at him in disbelief. After all, Li Xiaotian was about the same age as the others and had an outstanding aura.
"It's exactly because I've never been to school that I want to experience it. This is the best university in the country. I'd like to attend one of your classes."
"Welcome, welcome." Sinosaurus said excitedly while winking at Tang Zheng. He seemed to be asking him to tell the truth. Where did he go to kidnap such a beautiful girl?
As for Tang Zheng's luck with women, have all the members of 502 passed away? "
The bespectacled man nodded and said, "The specific author of this painting is no longer known. However, it is inferred that it was painted by a master painter 1,500 years ago. Legend has it that he saw a fairy descending from the Nine Heavens and used that as inspiration to paint this painting."
"This student is right. Sit down." Qi Shaowen praised, "This painting has been passed down to this day. Since ancient times, there have been very few forgeries of this painting because no one has been able to fully express the charm of the painting. In the original painting, the fairy descending to the mortal world is full of spiritual energy. It's as if a real person is standing in front of you."
"Wow, is it really that amazing? Do fairies really exist in this world? "Many people were discussing.
Qi Shaowen smiled gently and the wrinkles on his face eased slightly. He said, "Some of you may think that I'm exaggerating, but I want to tell you that this is not an exaggeration. It's the truth. This painting is now kept in the National Museum and is not on display. I've seen it a few times and every time I see it, it's as if a fairy is standing in front of me. It's an indescribable feeling."
Hearing his words, the crowd was even more amazed. They thought that if they were lucky enough to see this painting, it would be the greatest blessing of three lifetimes.
"Pfft, it's just a forgery. It's almost blown to the sky." Someone snorted disdainfully. This voice wasn't soft, it was crisp and penetrating. Everyone heard it.
Immediately, everyone looked towards the source of the voice and discovered that the owner of the voice was actually Li Xiaotian.
Qi Shaowen's face darkened. He glared at Li Xiaotian and said, "What did you say?"
"I said, you said that the 'Nine Heavens Maids Painting' in the National Museum is a fake." Li Xiaotian said in a shocking tone.
Tang Zheng was also startled by her actions. She was really a troublemaker. He hurriedly tugged at her sleeves and said, "You're not a student. Pay attention to the class and don't interrupt."
"He's wrong, I'm just correcting him. I have good intentions, I don't want him to continue down the wrong path." Li Xiaotian solemnly vowed.
Seeing her boasting so shamelessly, Tang Zheng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Li Xiaotian was good at lying. Her words were probably ninety percent false and one percent true. It was difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies. Therefore, Tang Zheng did not know why she made such a fuss.
"Both of you, stand up." Seeing Tang Zheng and Li Xiaotian whispering to each other, Qi Shaowen immediately flew into a rage. He hated it when students spouted nonsense about things they did not understand.
Archaeology required rigorous spirit, not sensationalism. Moreover, she dared to say that the painting in the museum was a fake. This was equivalent to challenging his reputation.
He had seen the painting and was certain that it was authentic. If this person dared to question the painting, it was the same as questioning him. How could he tolerate this?
Tang Zheng was caught in the crossfire. He thought to himself, "What does it have to do with me?" However, he still stood up. Li Xiaotian, on the other hand, continued to sit as if nothing had happened.
"Why are you still sitting? Stand up." Qi Shaowen shouted in a deep voice.
"I corrected your mistake. Instead of thanking me, you want me to stand up. How dare you?" Li Xiaotian stood up and said angrily.
This sentence was so powerful that the others did not know whether to laugh or cry. Girl, I admit that you are very beautiful. However, this kind of academic problem is not something that can be solved by a face and a figure. Why do you have to spout nonsense like this?
"Hey, are you telling the truth or not?" Tang Zheng could not figure out what was on her mind. Seeing that she was angry and did not seem to be faking it, he asked in a low voice.
"Of course I'm telling the truth. Do I have to lie?" Li Xiaotian said angrily.
"Stop mumbling. Speak loudly. As a student of the Archaeology Department, you dare to spout such baseless nonsense. Humph, this is the first time I've seen such a thing in all my years of teaching," Qi Shaowen said angrily.
Li Xiaotian could not take it anymore. She retorted loudly, "Who said that I have no evidence? I said that the painting in the museum is fake. Of course it is fake. Moreover, I have real evidence."
The others' interest was piqued. They stared at Li Xiaotian intently, waiting to see what she could say.
Zhou Yan asked quietly, "Third Brother, who is this person you brought with you? Why is she so arrogant?"
Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could only wait and see.
Qi Shaowen was so angry that he laughed and said, "Fine, show me your so-called real evidence. I'd like to see it for myself and broaden my horizons."
"Then I'll broaden your horizons," Li Xiaotian said.
"That fake painting is indeed good enough to pass off as the real thing. However, a fake is a fake. It can never replace the real thing. The imitator deliberately left a flaw in the painting. It's just that the later generations were too stupid to notice this flaw."
Qi Shaowen's face flushed red again. Naturally, he was included in the list of stupid later generations. He believed that no one would be happy to be called stupid by a person who was old enough to be his granddaughter.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart. He asked, "What exactly is the flaw?"
Tang Zheng heard Li Xiaotian's words and could not help but believe her. She did not have to provoke an old man whom she did not know.
Therefore, his interest was piqued. He wanted to know what her so-called flaw was.
"Look at the bottom right corner of this painting. The jade pendant hanging from the waist has no words on it. However, the fake one has the word 'Li' on it," Li Xiaotian said.
Qi Shaowen was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, "This is your so-called flaw? What a joke. " At first, Deng Shaowen thought that there was a flaw in the painting when he saw how confident Qi Shaowen was. He did not expect Qi Shaowen to say something like that.
The others were curious. They did not know what Qi Shaowen's laughter meant.
Qi Shaowen stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, your so-called flaws are all fabricated. What 'Li' character? You're lying to those who haven't seen that painting. I've seen that painting more than ten times. There's no 'Li' character on that jade pendant at all."
Wow!
Everyone looked at Li Xiaotian with complicated gazes. It turned out that what she had said for a long time was actually a lie.
However, Tang Zheng's feeling was completely different. Although Li Xiaotian was usually full of nonsense, at this moment, Tang Zheng believed that what she said was true. This was a feeling.
Li Xiaotian seemed to have expected this. She said calmly, "That's why I said you're stupid. It's been two hundred years and no one has discovered this flaw. Let me tell you how to verify it. Believe it or not. Go find some water and sprinkle it on the jade pendant. Later, you can see if the word 'Li' is on it. "
Sprinkle water?
Everyone was dumbfounded. This kind of ancient painting could be considered a national treasure. Everyone was eager to protect it. Who would be willing to sprinkle water on it?
"Crazy, absolutely crazy," Qi Shaowen muttered incessantly.
Li Xiaotian chuckled. She did not comment.
This was the first time Qi Shaowen had encountered such a situation. Perhaps it was Li Xiaotian's confident expression that provoked him. He decided to convince this student wholeheartedly. He said, "Wait here. I'll make a phone call right away. If the so-called 'Li' character doesn't appear, you'll fail this course."
Qi Shaowen stormed out of the classroom to make the phone call. Meanwhile, the classroom was in an uproar.
