"Grandmaster Wu, what do you want to do?"
Governor Fang didn't understand.
"I want to burn it!"
Wu Yezi spoke the truth.
"How can this do?"
Governor Fang was badly shocked. "That's a famous painting!"
Qi Mu`en, Zheng Qingfang, and the other major characters immediately dissuaded him. Because the Wondrous Blossom Realm was something that could only be encountered and not sought after, every famous painting was unique. It would be too much of a pity to destroy it.
"Everyone, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind!"
Wu Yezi persisted and even bowed to Fang Lun. "Governor Fang, please grant me my wish!"
"Why?"
In the crowd, a guest didn't understand and asked.
"Shut up!"
Governor Fang turned his head and berated.
"It's fine!"
Wu Yezi didn't feel embarrassed at all. He calmly explained, "Compared to Grandmaster Sun's famous painting, mine is just an inferior work. It's better to burn it to avoid dirtying people's eyes."
"Grandmaster Wu!"
Sun Mo was shocked and wanted to explain.
"Grandmaster Sun, I don't have any unhappiness toward you and I'm not destroying the painting out of anger. It's just that after hearing your Priceless Advice, I felt deeply moved!"
Wu Yezi smiled. "However, I have a presumptuous request!"
"Grandmaster Wu, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Please speak!"
Sun Mo was humble.
"If Grandmaster Sun is free, I hope that I can pay a visit to your residence and discuss painting. I wonder if it's possible?"
Wu Yezi was a grandmaster and could understand a person just by looking at a painting. Hence, he had a very good impression of Sun Mo.
"Grandmaster Wu must be joking. I'll be waiting for you at any time!"
Sun Mo suddenly felt a hint of admiration toward Wu Yezi. This was the kind of person who loved painting to the bone.
He didn't care about the evaluation and discussion of the people around him. What he was concerned about was always how to improve his painting skills.
"Grandmaster Wu has acknowledged Sun Mo?"
"Is there a need to ask? He's about to burn the painting. What do you think? "
"Sun Mo's painting skills are actually so impressive?"
When the guests in the surroundings saw that Wu Yezi, who usually wasn't talkative, was actually chatting happily with Sun Mo, they were all extremely shocked. Some people even noticed that when Wu Yezi was addressing Sun Mo, he kept calling him Grandmaster Sun instead of Teacher Sun.
One must know that someone like Wu Yezi was extremely proud. Moreover, he was the number one painter in Jiangnan. How impressive was Sun Mo to be able to be addressed as' Grandmaster 'by such a person?
"You don't usually paint? What a pity. If you had spent all your time on painting, the title of the number one painter in Jiangnan would have been yours in less than five years. "
Wu Yezi sighed.
Hearing these words, everyone was shocked once more. Isn't this evaluation a little too high?
An Xinhui surveyed Sun Mo as if this was the first time she knew him. Although she had already guessed that Sun Mo had outstanding capabilities, she still found it a little hard to believe when she personally heard Wu Yezi acknowledging him.
"Jiangnan's number one painter?"
Liu Mubai didn't know why, but his heart was filled with bitterness and unwillingness. A genius like him had the stubbornness of wanting to defeat his opponent in all aspects. Moreover, Sun Mo was his love rival.
But now, Liu Mubai was dealt a blow because he knew that even if he worked hard for his entire life, it would be impossible for him to win against Sun Mo in terms of painting.
Yue Rongbo looked at everything calmly and then glanced at Ni Jingting. A mocking smile appeared on his lips. (You guys basically don't understand how outstanding Sun Mo is!)
"Governor Fang, since you obtained a famous painting from Sun Mo, you should give him something in return, right?"
Zheng Qingfang suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?"
Governor Fang started. After that, he nodded. "Yes!"
Strictly speaking, Wu Yezi and Fang Lun could pursue Sun Mo's act of forging a famous painting, but they didn't do so.
Moreover, after giving a gift in return, in addition to Wu Yezi's words, Sun Mo's imitation of the [Riches and Honor, Solitary Residence Painting] would become a much-told story!
Fang Lun wasn't a fool. He knew that the more famous Sun Mo was in the future, the more his deeds would be circulated. It was impossible for him to leave his name in history just by relying on himself. But if he managed to climb up to Sun Mo, he'd be able to leave a mark in the history books.
"If Sun Mo becomes a saint, the Deer Tail Banquet this time around would surely be written down in great detail!"
Creating a famous painting because he felt sorry for a little maid who had jumped into the lake. This was a much-told story. Upon thinking of this, Fang Lun suddenly started. (What am I thinking about?
How can Sun Mo become a saint? However, there's still hope for him to become a 7-star great teacher.)
"This famous painting was created because of this little maid. Why don't we gift her to Grandmaster Sun?"
Zheng Qingfang suggested.
"Gift this lowly maid? I'm afraid it would taint Grandmaster Sun's identity! "
Fang Lun frowned. This lowly maid couldn't even protect a famous painting. Given his personality, he'd definitely sell her off when he returned.
No matter what, Sun Mo was someone from the modern era. How could he have the face to say something like asking for a maid? However, when he heard Zheng Qingfang's words and saw Fang Lun's expression, he knew that if he didn't step forward, this little maid would most probably be out of luck.
"Sigh, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda!"
Sun Mo sighed in his heart and spoke, "I can be considered to have some fate with this little maid. Maybe, with her by my side, I'll be able to create another famous painting!"
"Oh? At that time, I hope that Grandmaster Sun will be willing to part with her! "
Governor Fang had a look of joy on his face. After that, he waved his hand generously. "If Grandmaster Sun doesn't mind, you can take it!"
Sun Mo clasped his hands, looking embarrassed.
"Lowly maid, why aren't you scramming over to pay your respects to your new master?"
Fang Lun berated.
"My master is above!"
Yi Cui`e kowtowed, feeling like she had just escaped from the sea of bitterness.
"Get up!"
Sun Mo felt very awkward. In truth, he had worried too much. It wasn't a big deal for the people of the Nine Provinces to gift a maid to others. Some people could even gift concubines to others.
Ding!
"Congratulations on helping a little maid escape from the sea of bitterness and preventing her from committing suicide. At the same time, you obtained Wu Yezi's recognition and suppressed Miao Mu in the painting battle. Hence, you are rewarded with one golden treasure chest!"
The system's notification suddenly rang out.
Sun Mo had a look of joy on his face. There was actually an unexpected harvest? After that, he patted Lu Zhiruo's head. "Open the chest!"
The light faded, leaving behind a fruit!
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining one divine force fruit!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Mo was so happy that he almost whistled. Another divine force fruit. This time around, he would be able to reach the third level of the divine force realm for sure.
"Miao Mu should have thought that this painting originated from Sun Mo. That's why he felt ashamed and left in advance, right?"
Zheng Qingfang asked Li Zixing.
"I don't know!"
Li Zixing stiffly retorted. Actually, he understood that Miao Mu had suffered a crushing defeat. Luckily, he had tactfully left. If not, if he heard Wu Yezi praising Sun Mo now, he would surely die of embarrassment.
"No, I mustn't let Sun Mo be complacent!"
Li Zixing glanced at Ni Jingting. Let's execute the second plan!
Because of Sun Mo's excellence, Li Zixing wanted to destroy him even more.
Ni Jingting was still looking for an opportunity to interject. Qi Mu`en smiled. "Everyone, I recently obtained a darkness plant. I've asked a few great teachers and all of them said that they have never seen it before. Now, I'll take it out and hope that the few new great teachers here can give it a look!
"If anyone can tell me its origin and use, I, Qi, will definitely give you a great gift!"
As the sound of Qi Mu`en's voice faded, two burly men walked in together with a wooden chest.
"Extinguish the lights!"
Qi Mu`en commanded again.
Pak!
The candlelight and wall lamps were all extinguished. Just when some of the female guests exclaimed in shock, they immediately vanished because the lid of the chest had been removed.
A completely transparent plant appeared in everyone's vision. Moreover, this plant was glowing like a night pearl, causing the entire Linjiang Hall to be illuminated.
Wow!
The guests exclaimed in shock.
This was definitely a rare treasure.
"So beautiful!"
Ying Baiwu sighed. She secretly asked, "Ziqi, do you know what this is?"
Even Tantai Yutang, who everyone looked down on, had to admit that Li Ziqi's knowledge was extremely profound. Her knowledge was comparable to an encyclopedia!
"I don't know!"
The little sunny egg shook her head.
"Eh?"
Lu Zhiruo started. Why would this thing appear here?
"What's wrong?"
Li Ziqi asked.
Lu Zhiruo's lips trembled. She wanted to explain, but she hesitated and eventually shut her mouth. This was because her father had said before that some things shouldn't be spoken recklessly. If not, it would only bring harm to them.
"Does anyone know what this is? Teacher Liu? Teacher Fang? Teacher Sun? "
Qi Mu`en asked again. Although Sun Mo's fame was very great recently, Liu Mubai and Fang Wuji's fame was still widespread. They were the twin jade annulus of Jinling. Hence, he still asked these two first.
Fang Wuji turned his head and glanced over before giving his answer. "I don't know."
"You..."
Seeing his proud student acting like this, Cao Xian almost died from anger. (Can you do me a favor?)
Everyone looked toward Liu Mubai.
"I don't know what it is called. But I know it's very precious! "
Liu Mubai spoke, "When I was training in the Darkness Continent, I was fortunate enough to see it once. It's a type of plant that likes the shade and usually grows in caves."
"Oh? Can you speak in more detail? "
Qi Mu`en asked.
"Sorry, I only know this!"
Liu Mubai shook his head. This type of translucent plant was clearly a rare treasure. Back then, the ten-man team that Liu Mubai was in wanted to obtain it, but they were ambushed by a gigantic snake and suffered heavy casualties.
That gigantic snake was over 300 meters long. Clearly, it was a species of darkness that had gained intelligence and had extremely strong combat prowess. Something that it could protect was clearly a peak-grade treasure.
"Prince Consort Qi, this plant of yours shouldn't have matured yet."
Liu Mubai still remembered the cave of the gigantic snake. When he had time, he would go there again to take a look.
"Teacher Sun, what do you think?"
Qi Mu`en asked.
"Let me think about it!"
Sun Mo found an excuse. Actually, at the instant he saw this plant of darkness, relevant information appeared in his mind.
It wasn't from Divine Sight, but it was recorded in the Darkness Plants Encyclopedia that Sun Mo had.
However, for something that no one knew about, even if Sun Mo was right, no one could be the judge, right? Moreover, this plant was very dangerous and wasn't suitable to be introduced in public.
"If you don't know, then you don't know. What do you mean by thinking about it? Could it be that you want to know everything about it just by thinking about it? "
Li Zixing mocked.
"From your meaning, it seems that you understand?"
Ying Baiwu directly retorted. He actually dared to mock her teacher? How preposterous.
"Teacher Sun, is this how you teach your students? Casually interrupting and speaking in such a disrespectful tone, isn't your upbringing a little too lacking? "
Ni Jingting berated.
