When the little handmaiden heard this voice, her body trembled uncontrollably.
Because she was pretty and cute, plus she was smart and quick-witted. She learned the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting very quickly, so Governor Fang was very fond of her.
Every time Governor Fang flaunted his elegance, he would bring her along.
Bring a famous prostitute?
It was too vulgar. Governor Fang wanted the feeling of a budding girl serving him. However, no matter how much he doted on Yi Cui`e, once the painting was destroyed, he would definitely beat her to death.
"Calm down, quickly calm down. Great Teacher Sun's drawing skills are incomparably marvelous. There's no way anyone would be able to see through it!"
The little maid consoled herself.
Sun Mo turned his head. The person who came was tall and burly, but he was exceptionally skinny. He was casually wearing a white robe, and it was unknown how many days it had been since he washed it. Not only were there wrinkles, but there were also ink stains.
His hair was messy, tied with a hemp rope at the back of his head, and he looked slovenly.
"He really is an artist!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. He didn't understand. Why would art students always dress like this?
Zheng Qingfang and the others welcomed them and began to reminisce about the past.
Artists weren't that popular, but once they reached the level of Jiangnan's number one, things would be different.
Sun Mo took this opportunity to activate Divine Sight and stared at Wu Yezi.
67 years old, fifth level of the divine force realm!
He had been learning to paint since he was a child.
Given his outstanding talent, if he were to focus his efforts on cultivation, he would surely be able to achieve great things. In fact, he might even be able to become a master teacher. However, he loved painting too much.
For the sake of painting, he once gave up love, because he felt that love would turn him into a vulgar person. He would be trapped by daily necessities for the sake of his family and responsibilities.
"…"
At first, Sun Mo was quite impressed by this painting fanatic. But when he saw this data, he suddenly felt disdain. It was because he felt that love and the trivial daily life were also a kind of experience, a kind of happiness.
Suddenly, Sun Mo understood why Wu Yezi could draw the [Riches and Honor, Solitary Residence Painting]. He also understood the deeper meaning behind this painting.
This fellow treated everyone as mere mortals.
Today was the Deer Tail Banquet. Although the invited guests were all rich and powerful, not everyone had the qualifications to converse with Wu Yezi.
Those who could stand beside Wu Yezi were all top-notch big shots like Zheng Qingfang and Li Zixing.
As for the others, they just needed to smile.
"Master Wu, we are admiring your painting," Riches and Honor, Solitary Life. "
Fang Lun invited, "Since Master is here, why don't you explain it to us?"
"There's no need for that. The so-called famous paintings are meant to be admired and comprehended by oneself. If one were to listen to someone else's introduction, it would instead become inferior."
Wu Yezi straightforwardly rejected.
This was his opinion, but the main reason was because he was lazy and disdainful. The people present were just a bunch of ordinary people. Were they worthy of him lecturing them on painting?
Wu Yezi looked around and saw that everyone was smiling and had kind attitudes. He had long since gotten used to this kind of flattery. Just as he was about to find a place to sit down and drink some tea, he suddenly saw a young man talking to a young woman beside him. He didn't seem to care about him at all.
Cough, cough!
Wu Yezi pretended to cough.
"Is Master sick?"
Fang Lun had a look of worry on his face, and the others immediately showed concern for his well-being.
"I caught a cold, but it's nothing serious!"
Wu Yezi saw that the young man only raised his head to look at her for a moment before lowering his head. Even when their eyes met, there was no expression.
"Tsk, this look, it seems like you're looking down on me?"
As an artist, Wu Yezi's thoughts were very meticulous.
"Teacher Sun, your [Galloping Horse Painting] isn't bad, but it's still inferior when compared to Grandmaster Wu's [Riches and Honor, Mountain Dwelling Painting]. Hence, don't be arrogant and complacent. You must learn humbly. Come, let me introduce you. This is Grandmaster Wu, Wu Yezi, the number one artist in Jiangnan!"
Ni Jingting spoke again to disgust Sun Mo.
He could see through a person like Sun Mo. Sun Mo was confident and arrogant. Naturally, it was because Sun Mo was overflowing with talent and had the capital to do so. If Sun Mo were to admit defeat, there was an 80% to 90% chance that he would be rebuking Wu Yezi.
(Miao Mu might not be able to win, but Wu Yezi can't possibly be unable to win against you, right?)
(If you can win against Wu Yezi, I, Ni Jingting, will change my surname to yours!)
Ni Jingting smiled as he looked at Sun Mo. If Sun Mo greeted Wu Yezi with the attitude of a junior, the fame he had accumulated earlier would weaken a little.
Just think about it. Sun Mo, who was so amazing, still had to be so respectful to Wu Yezi. Didn't this mean that Grandmaster Wu was even more amazing?
It was like a banquet. A C-list movie star had just gotten the limelight, but the Oscar -winning superstar Leonardo came. Who would still care about you? After the banquet, everyone would only be talking about Leonardo.
"This fellow is so disgusting!"
An Xinhui frowned, wanting to help Sun Mo out of this predicament. However, before she could say anything, Wu Yezi cried out in shock.
"Whose painting is this?"
Swoosh!
The entire Linjiang Hall instantly fell silent. The guests stared dumbfoundedly at Wu Yezi. This famous artist was staring at the [Riches and Honor, Mountain Dwelling Painting] in a daze.
At the next instant, their gazes turned to Fang Lun. Their first reaction was that he had been scammed by a swindler. If this was Wu Yezi's painting, why didn't he recognize it?
"Grandmaster Wu, this... this is the painting I got from you?"
Fang Lun frowned.
"My painting?"
Wu Yezi's brows furrowed tightly. He took a few steps forward and observed it carefully. "No, although it looks very similar, I didn't draw it!"
After hearing this, Sun Mo sighed. He knew that he wouldn't be able to fool the real person.
Miao Mu, who was not far away, started. After that, his face was filled with astonishment as he stared at Sun Mo. As expected, this painting was drawn by him.
No, it should be said that he was the one who drew these famous paintings.
Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but as a famous artist, Miao Mu could tell that some of the techniques used in these five famous paintings came from the same person.
"But isn't this a little too unbelievable? This Sun Mo actually copied Grandmaster Wu's famous painting? "
Miao Mu was shocked. Was this something that humans could accomplish?
However, the truth was right before his eyes. He had no choice but to believe it! After that, his heart was filled with envy and jealousy. In the end, all of these feelings turned into intense disappointment and inferiority.
Geniuses were truly unreasonable.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Miao Mu + 1,000. Respect (1,100/10000).
"Prince, I'm not feeling well. I'll take my leave first!"
After Miao Mu spoke, he didn't wait for Li Zixing's reply. He staggered and wanted to leave the cabin.
"Grandmaster Miao, there's a doctor on the pleasure boat!"
Qi Mu`en asked, but Miao Mu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to care about him.
Everyone didn't care about Miao Mu's departure. All of them were looking at Wu Yezi.
"Grandmaster Wu, is this a fake painting?"
Fang Lun asked. He started to suspect that someone had secretly swapped the [Riches and Honor Painting].
"Fake painting? Where would you find a fake painting at the Wondrous Blossom Realm? "
Wu Yezi laughed.
Everyone started. That was true.
Zheng Qingfang was as expected of an experienced person. He glanced at Li Feng with a contemplative look on his face. After that, he glanced at the little maid and finally, his gaze landed on Sun Mo.
Wu Yezi stared at the famous painting before him. "Although its layout is similar to my [Riches and Honor Painting], its concept far surpasses mine!"
Si ~
Upon hearing this, everyone drew in a cold gasp. There was actually a famous artist that was even more amazing than Wu Yezi?
"In the past, when I gave this painting to you, I was actually unwilling because it wasn't perfect enough. However, I couldn't find the reason. But now, I've found it."
Wu Yezi sighed ruefully.
As a painting fanatic, he would evaluate a painting purely from an artistic perspective and wouldn't mix in his personal feelings.
"Grandmaster Wu, why do you say this?"
Qi Mu`en was curious.
"That painting of mine, ordinary people wouldn't feel anything when they see it because it's too lofty. Only people like Governor Fang and Prime Minister Zheng would be able to understand it. But for this painting, even ordinary people would be influenced by the concept it conveys!"
Wu Yezi shook his head and laughed. "After seeing this painting, don't you guys feel a sense of relief and want to return to your true selves? Don't you care about the feelings of others? "
The guests started whispering to each other. Honestly speaking, they were still dumbfounded.
"I wonder who drew this famous painting?"
Wu Yezi was curious.
"Lowly maid, why are you still not scramming over here? Tell me the reason!"
Fang Lun looked at the little maid and roared loudly.
Putong!
Yi Cui`e directly knelt on the ground.
"It's... I'm the one who drew it!"
The little maid didn't wish to expose Sun Mo. Hence, she admitted it herself.
"Lowly maid, do you think I'm a fool? If you can draw a famous painting, even a beggar can become a deity. Men, beat him up! "
Governor Fang roared in rage.
A burly man immediately rushed in, wanting to beat up the little maid.
Yi Cui`e exerted force with her teeth, wanting to bite off her tongue. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to endure the beating and would expose Sun Mo.
If she bit off her tongue, she wouldn't be afraid.
Sadly, Governor Fang's guards were all elites. They immediately grabbed Yi Cui`e's chin and forcefully broke it off.
"Sir, she wants to bite her tongue to commit suicide!"
The guard reported.
"She wants to die? It won't be so easy. Beat her up! "
Governor Fang was enraged because he had lost face. Think about it, he had been boasting about this famous painting for half a day. In the end, the author was someone else. How embarrassing would this be?
He would definitely be branded as someone who pretended to know when he didn't!
"Stop!"
Sun Mo roared explosively. With a flash, he appeared before the little maid and blocked the guard's fist. "Governor, I was the one who drew that painting. I acted according to the urgency of the situation. Please forgive me!"
"Huh?"
The group of guests was taken aback. What was going on?
"Teacher Sun, I know you are concerned about this little maid, but you can't speak nonsense!"
Qi Mu`en persuaded. The matter today could be big or small. If Wu Yezi pursued the matter, Sun Mo would have to bear the crime of forging someone else's famous painting.
Such a stain would have a tremendous impact on his career in the future.
"Speaking of which, the main culprit of this matter is the beloved son of Prince Li. He forcefully snatched the famous painting that this little maid was keeping and even intentionally damaged it.
"This little maid was terrified and uneasy and could only seek death. She was coincidentally seen by my student. Hence, I acted and created this painting!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he looked at Wu Yezi and bowed in apology. "I'm sorry, Grandmaster Wu!"
Wu Yezi didn't say anything. He was surveying Sun Mo instead.
(My heavens, this is going to be a great show!)
All the guests were extremely excited. Actually, they already believed Sun Mo's words. Everyone understood what Li Feng was.
Now that they thought about it, Li Feng was the first one to stand out and say that this was a fake painting!
"Nonsense, it's clearly this little maid who was careless and damaged the famous painting!"
Li Feng argued.
Sun Mo smiled.
"Father, I'm speaking the truth. He's maligning me!"
Li Feng used all his strength to shake Li Zixing's arm.
"Shut up!"
Li Zixing scolded. (Do you think Fang Lun and the others are as stupid as you? Even if Sun Mo didn't say anything, he would have to settle this matter himself.)
(Damn it, it's fine if you do bad things, but if you're seen by others and are caught red-handed, you would be a fool.)
Naturally, what made him feel the most awkward wasn't that his son was caught doing bad things. Rather, it was that he had said that Sun Mo was inferior to Wu Yezi. In the end, the painting before him was drawn by Sun Mo.
"Teacher Ni, your judgment is really impressive!"
An Xinhui praised.
Ni Jingting's face instantly flushed up. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a mission, he really wanted to leave.
The gazes of the guests when looking at Ni Jingting turned into contempt. They heard that he was a 3-star great teacher and was even a personal great teacher hired by Li Zixing with a high salary. They didn't expect him to be so trash!
"What's your name?"
Wu Yezi asked.
"Sun Mo!"
Sun Mo introduced.
"So, you are that One-Vote Sun who is like a dog in front of the door!"
Although Wu Yezi was a painting fanatic, Sun Mo was too famous. When he attended a gathering, he had heard his friends talking about Sun Mo before.
"..."
Sun Mo fell silent.
"I really want to know why you guys aren't shocked?"
Wu Yezi looked at Fang Lun curiously.
"Because he just drew a famous painting!"
Qi Mu`en explained. After that, he added another sentence in his heart, "Also, those three famous paintings might be drawn by him as well!"
"Oh? Can I take a look? "
After Wu Yezi asked, he saw the Galloping Horse Painting and couldn't help but praise, "Beautiful, the entire painting is filled with vitality. This is a painting that belongs to a young man!"
After admiring it for a while, Wu Yezi looked at Sun Mo. "Pardon me for asking, but why did you look at me with that gaze earlier?"
"Grandmaster Wu, you are too stubborn. If you can't place your emotions in life, how can you place your emotions in paintings? How can you create a famous painting that can influence the world? "
Sun Mo's words came from the bottom of his heart.
He wasn't lecturing Wu Yezi but was persuading him. He hoped that Wu Yezi could improve further and reach the Art Saint Realm.
Bzz!
Priceless Advice was activated.
"..."
Gu Xiuxun, who was in the crowd, was speechless. (Why are you spitting out golden words again? Moreover, you're saying it to the number one artist in Jiangnan. Aren't you a little too 'lawless'?)
However, 'If you can't place your emotions in life, how can you place your emotions in paintings?' This sentence was really well said!
Wu Yezi repeated this sentence and sank into contemplation.
Not only him, but everyone in the Linjiang Hall was also affected by this great teacher halo.
Liu Mubai was dumbfounded. (Do you have to show off like this?)
"Haha, I understand now. So this is my bottleneck. No wonder my painting skills haven't improved over the past ten years. So it's because my heart is too proud!"
Wu Yezi suddenly laughed uproariously. After mumbling to himself, he solemnly clasped his hands and bowed toward Sun Mo. "Great Teacher Sun, thank you for your guidance!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wu Yezi + 500. Friendly (500/1,000).
Hua!
The guests were completely stunned. They had thought that Wu Yezi would pursue the matter of Sun Mo forging his painting. After all, the name 'Wu Yezi' was inscribed. Who knew that he would actually be grateful to Sun Mo?
Who was this?
The number one artist in Jiangnan was bowing to Sun Mo in the end?
The most awkward ones were undoubtedly Li Zixing and Ni Jingting. It was because the two of them had kept on belittling Sun Mo and raising Wu Yezi's status.
"Ha, I knew that Teacher is the most impressive!"
Lu Zhiruo's chin was raised, feeling proud.
"Grandmaster Wu, I don't dare to accept your praise!"
Sun Mo flashed and stepped aside.
"Congratulations to Governor Fang for obtaining another famous painting!"
Wu Yezi looked toward Governor Fang. After clasping his hands, he made a request, "Can you return that famous painting of mine?"
