Qin Wentian could naturally feel the enmity emanating from the elder. However, he had no interest in the Royal Academy. But the Royal Academy had coveted his belongings.
Qin Wentian advanced instead of retreating. He smiled, "There's no problem if you want to stand back. However, I want to bring my belongings away."
"Your belongings?" That elder was none other than the teacher who had borrowed the Divine Inscription painting from Xue Yuan. He stared at Qin Wentian as he unhappily asked.
"Yes, it's mine." Qin Wentian pointed to the Divine Inscription painting as he calmly replied.
However, as the sound of his voice faded, it didn't cause the commotion he had imagined. Not only that, the crowd only froze for a moment as they cast a glance in his direction before shifting their gazes away.
He said that the Divine Inscription painting displayed in the exhibition hall belonged to him. Wasn't this a joke?
If it belonged to him, wouldn't the Royal Academy treat him as an esteemed guest when they exhibited his painting? Why would they stop him from getting close? Wasn't this an insult to the intelligence of the Royal Academy?
This joke wasn't funny at all. In fact, it sounded a little cold.
"Yours? Was it drawn by you? "That elder froze for a moment before asking in a mocking tone.
"Yes." Qin Wentian honestly nodded his head. This painting was indeed drawn by him.
"Eh …" Seeing that Qin Wentian actually nodded his head, the expressions on the faces of the crowd grew more and more interesting. It was as though this painting was really drawn by him …
That elder contemplated Qin Wentian as a strange expression appeared on his face. Especially Qin Wentian's countenance. This Divine Inscription painting was something he had borrowed from Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan shouldn't have any interactions with Qin Wentian, so when did this painting belong to Qin Wentian? And what was even more ridiculous was that Qin Wentian said that he was the one who drew it.
"Are all the students of the Emperor Star Academy as shameless as you?" That Elder coldly spat out. Although his voice wasn't loud, it was filled with a sense of humiliation.
Although Qin Wentian's status in the Emperor Star Academy was extremely high, he still dared to boast in such a manner in the Royal Academy. One couldn't help but say that he was simply seeking his own humiliation.
Many people had moved their eyes away from Qin Wentian, but at this moment, they became interested again. This guy seemed to be quite humorous.
"Little fellow, I've heard rumors about you from my friends. You're a young genius from the Divine Weapon Pavilion who can inscribe 3rd level Divine Inscriptions. However, do you know what this human-shaped Divine Inscription signifies? With regards to this type of Divine Imprint, even a 3rd ranked Grandmaster would find it difficult to inscribe it, let alone creating it. It's better for the younger generation to have some respect in their hearts. "
At the side of the painting, a weaponsmith advised Qin Wentian, his tone filled with the tone of someone lecturing a junior.
Upon hearing the words of this person, many in the world of weaponsmiths had expressions of respect on their faces. This old man was a 3rd ranked Grandmaster, and his status was extremely high.
Behind Qin Wentian, Mu Rou was somewhat depressed. What was wrong with this fellow, Qin Wentian?
Walking forward, she tugged at the corner of Qin Wentian's robes as she softly said, "Let's go out for a walk."
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze, looking at Mu Rou who was beside him. In a serious tone, he stated, "This painting is really mine. Not only that, it's the birthday present I gave you yesterday."
Mu Rou froze. Looking at the serious expression on Qin Wentian's face, it didn't seem as though he was joking.
Not only that, based on her understanding of Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian wouldn't joke about such a matter.
In that case, what Qin Wentian said might be true.
However, this painting that caused such a huge commotion in the Royal Academy, as well as the entire weaponsmithing world, was actually a birthday present given to her?
Even Mu Rou, as the person in question, couldn't believe it.
However, Mu Rou gradually believed in Qin Wentian. However, when Qin Wentian's words entered into the ears of others, it became an even bigger joke. A painting that could cause such a huge commotion was actually a birthday present?
"Aren't you afraid that the wind will cut your tongue? A birthday present? Ridiculous to the extreme." That teacher coldly snorted in disdain. Qin Wentian's words were getting more and more ridiculous.
"Even if you want to fabricate a reason, you should at least come up with something more convincing, right?"
At this moment, another voice drifted over. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over to the person who spoke. It was someone he was familiar with, Murin from the Star River Association.
"For someone like you, even a single glance at you would dirty my eyes, let alone fabricating a reason." Qin Wentian stared at Murin as he spoke. Every time he saw Murin's calm countenance that was tinged with a hint of arrogance, he couldn't help but think of the filthy soul hidden beneath her skin.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't even bother to glance at Murin. Hence, he quickly shifted his gaze away from Murin. Since he didn't have the ability to make Murin pay for his actions in the past, he would do his best not to disgust himself.
Upon hearing Qin Wentian's words, Murin's countenance instantly turned Cold. After which, he coldly replied, "Not having the slightest bit of respect for your elders, only the Qin Clan would be able to teach you. No wonder you're a traitor."
Murin's words were even harsher and more venomous compared to Qin Wentian's.
"After deceiving me to join the Star River Association, you betrayed me and my Qin Clan to the Ye Clan, coveting the Divine Imprints of the Divine Inscriptionists of the Sky Harmony City's Star River Branch. It's hard to imagine that a person like you would actually hope for the respect of others. How thick is the skin on your face?" Qin Wentian shook his head as he spoke, not even bothering to glance at Murin.
Murin furrowed his brows, while expressions of interest appeared on the faces of the surrounding crowd. However, the Elder from the Royal Academy spoke again.
"I don't care how the Emperor Star Academy taught you, but this place is the Royal Academy. Our Royal Academy doesn't welcome a youth like you who doesn't know how to respect himself." The Elder stared at Qin Wentian as he slowly continued, "So, can you scram now?"
The Elder from the Royal Academy had a condescending look on his face. After being a teacher for so many years, he had never seen such an arrogant student before. Not only that, Qin Wentian was also a student of the Emperor Star Academy.
"I do want to leave, but the problem is, your Royal Academy didn't seek my permission, and instead displayed my artwork here. And now, you want to chase me away?"
Qin Wentian had a serious expression on his face, causing many to be speechless. Not only that, the students of the Royal Academy had already started to jeer, "I've never seen such a shameless person before."
"If I were him, I would have scrammed as far away as I could."
Numerous voices rang out, none of them friendly. After all, this place was the Royal Academy.
To Qin Wentian, this place was filled with hostility.
"Do you want me to chase you away?" The Elder took a step in the direction of Qin Wentian, as an intense pressure bore down on Qin Wentian.
But at this moment, a radiant smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face.
"The Royal Academy represents the face of the Royal Clan. In the Royal Capital of the Chu Country, it is second only to the Emperor Star Academy. I thought that in many matters, the Royal Academy would be magnanimous, but it seems like I was wrong." Qin Wentian stared at the Elder as he slowly continued, "Of course, things will soon become clear. The more you act like this, the uglier the face of the Royal Academy will be."
Looking at the serious expression on Qin Wentian's face, a few people started to waver.
There was no reason for Qin Wentian to cause trouble here. Could it be that such a ridiculous matter was real?
"The Sky Transport Network is already investigating this matter. I believe that we will have an answer very soon." Qin Wentian continued.
"What nonsense." The Elder coldly snorted. Since when did this have anything to do with the Sky Transport Network?
At this moment, a group of silhouettes walked over. They were none other than the people from the Sky Transport Network.
As they walked to the front of the crowd, they couldn't help but to silently curse the person in charge of the Royal Academy for being so muddle-headed. If the painting had been delivered to Mu Rou, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
In such a situation, if they were to expose the truth, where would the face of the Royal Academy be?
"Elder, can I speak with you for a moment?" The person in charge of the Sky Transport Network asked the Elder of the Royal Academy, causing the Elder to frown, as though he felt something was amiss.
"If you have anything to say, just say it out loud. I'm looking for the Sky Transport Network to help me transport the painting. Now that such a thing has happened, do you really intend to settle this in secret?" Qin Wentian calmly replied as he stared at the people walking over.
"Hmph." The Elder from the Emperor Star Academy coldly snorted, as he spoke to the person in charge of the Sky Transport Network, "What's the matter? Just say it, there's no need to hide."
The person in charge of the Sky Transport Network had an awkward expression on his face. After which, he bowed to Qin Wentian and the Elder from the Royal Academy, "This matter, the fault lies with my Sky Transport Network."
Such a scene caused the crowd to feel that something was amiss. It was as though there was a problem with the origin of the painting.
The Sky Transport Network was the first to apologize to both parties. As expected of one of the three largest networks in Chu.
"Elder, did this Divine Inscription painting originate from Xue Yuan of the Royal Academy?" The person in charge of the Sky Transport Network inquired.
"Yes." The Elder furrowed his brows, but he still nodded his head.
"If that's the case, then the owner of this painting should be Qin Wentian of the Emperor Star Academy." The person in charge once again bowed to the Elder from the Royal Academy.
However, at this moment, no one was paying attention to his actions.
His voice was like a clap of thunder in the quiet space, causing many people's hearts to tremble violently.
Was this a joke?
If that was the case, then wasn't this a little too cold?
Such a plot seemed to be a little too dramatic. Where would the Royal School put its face?
Especially when the voice of the Elder from the Royal Academy was so powerful and resonant.
