Ye Wuchen raised the painting and asked gently, "Lady Hua, I wonder if this' Twin Lotus Flowers' painting is fortunate enough to gain your favor? A good painting matches a beautiful woman. If Lady Hua doesn't mind my poor painting skills, please accept it as a token of my sincerity. If this painting can't enter Lady Hua's eyes, then this painting has lost its purpose of existence. It's fine to burn it. "
Everyone's gaze landed on Hua Shuirou. Some young masters even took the opportunity to admire her without concealment. The more they looked at her, the more they felt that she was gentle and beautiful. However, when they thought of Lin Xiao and Ye Wuchen, they could only feel sad. Regardless of looks, family background, or talent … they were all beyond their reach. Perhaps, only a genius like this was worthy of such a fairy beauty. The young ladies, on the other hand, were all envious and even jealous. How could they not be envious that Lin and Ye Wuchen fell in love with each other at the same time? To some scholars who valued painting as much as their lives, they were terrified. At this moment, they didn't care about the marriage agreement between the Lin family and the Hua family. They were afraid that Hua Shuirou wouldn't agree. If that was the case, they would have to watch such a peerless work of art being destroyed. This was worse than killing them.
"Chen 'er has taken a fancy to the Hua family's daughter?" Wang Wenshu asked softly.
"Seems like it. The Hua family's daughter is an outstanding beauty. It's normal for Chen 'er to fall in love with her. Speaking of which, Chen 'er isn't young anymore, "Ye Wei said with a smile. He didn't blame Ye Wuchen's action at all. On the contrary … if he could really snatch the daughter-in-law that originally belonged to the Lin family, forget about forming a good relationship with the Hua family, just imagining the Lin family's expression would make him feel extremely comfortable. Moreover, Hua Zhentian only had this one daughter and he loved her dearly. Whoever married his daughter would inherit the entire Hua family in the future. That was why the Yeh family had tried so hard to get Hua Zhentian to betroth their daughter to Wuchen, but they had been repeatedly rejected. Because at that time, Ye Wuchen was really useless. Let alone the Hua family, until the day Ye Wuchen turned sixteen, there was not a single person who came to propose marriage to her. When Wang Wenshu shamelessly took the initiative to mention which noble family she wanted to marry, her opponent would always find an excuse to change the topic, or even run away without a trace.
However, with Hua Zhentian's character, it was basically impossible for him to change his engagement with the Lin family. Ye Wei silently thought.
"The young lady of the Hua family is very likable. If Chen'Er really likes her, we must help him get her."
"…" Ye Wei was quite shocked by his wife's words. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Ye Shuiyao listened to their conversation without saying a word. Her gaze also fell on Hua Shuirou. However, she did not know why, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. As for the reason … she did not know.
Since Hua Shuirou was born, it could be said that it was the first time that so many people stared at him at the same time. In his panic, his heart beat like a deer. He wanted to run away immediately. After a long time, Hua Zhentian finally said, "My dear daughter, do you want this painting? Just say it."
"I …"
Although Hua Shuirou's temperament was as gentle as water, she was not a person with a pure mind. She knew that she, who was already engaged, must be loyal to her future husband. No matter how much she liked that painting, how much she wanted that painting, she must say no in this situation.
Thus, she raised her head. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly met Ye Wuchen's eyes. The smile on his face was so gentle that it actually wiped away the nervousness in her heart bit by bit. His gaze was so gentle and deep, as if it carried a fatal attraction that pulled at her heart and all of her attention. It made her want to sink deep into it and be lost in it.
The 'no' that was about to leave her mouth suddenly could not come out. No matter how hard she tried, she could not say it. And her heart began to beat faster and faster …
"Do you want this painting?" He asked again. His voice was as gentle as the wind.
"I … want it."
The corners of Ye Wuchen's mouth revealed a smile and he nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, a sharp cry broke the silence. The Green Silk Bird on Hua Shuirou's shoulder spread its wings and flew towards Ye Wuchen. Then, it landed on his raised left arm and chirped happily. Ye Wuchen rolled up the painting and placed it under its claws. The Green Silk Bird used its claws to hold it tightly. Then, with another sharp cry, it spread its wings and flew back to Hua Shuirou's body. The painting also fell into her hands.
Everyone's eyes widened once again … Shock, envy, disbelief … This scene definitely could not have been staged in advance, but now it was happening right in front of their eyes. The Green Silk Bird's love and love. This unbelievable scene appeared so naturally, as if it was the will and arrangement of the heavens. It also seemed like this Green Silk Bird understood their hearts and wanted to use its own power to tie the knot between them.
When the painting fell into her hands, Hua Shuirou still did not wake up from her daze. Today's scene was something she could never forget for the rest of her life. Even now, she still didn't know why she had agreed to it. She had subconsciously shouted out what she was thinking. All her doubts and apprehensions had completely disappeared at that moment.
The faces of everyone in the Lin family turned ashen. They looked at Hua Shuirou with eyes filled with anger. However, they heard Hua Zhentian laugh loudly and say, "I knew my good daughter would like this painting. Even someone like me, who doesn't know how to draw, thinks that this painting is not bad. It would be strange if my daughter didn't like it. But what's up with this bird? Could it be that she also likes this painting and couldn't wait to snatch it? "
He still did not realize that Hua Shuirou's three short words were equivalent to giving the entire Lin family a heavy blow. They were so sullen that they wanted to vomit blood. In this kind of situation, they had to endure it for the sake of the Lin family's reputation. This was because Lin Xiao had very generously said, "… After all, she is not a member of the Lin family. Everyone has the right to pursue her!"
He had seen people slap themselves, but he had never seen someone slap themselves so loudly. Lin Xiao originally thought that with Hua Shuirou's personality, he would definitely reject it. He did not expect him to actually agree. He felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly cut a few times. The pain made him twitch.
However, no one noticed that although Ye Wuchen had a smile on his face, his eyes were closed.
When he finally opened his eyes, the dizziness from before had finally disappeared without a trace.
This was a type of power called "Soul", one of the Ten Elements of Order (The Elements of Order included the Seven Elements of Nature and the Three Elements of Fate. The seven major elements of nature are: water, fire, wind, thunder, earth, light, and darkness. The three major elements of fate are: life, death, and soul.) The power of the soul was the most mysterious and difficult to appear. It was also the most difficult to use and control elemental power. He thought that since he had a vague "premonition" ability, it meant that his power of the soul was innately activated. He had tried to use it a few times before. And today was the first time he officially used it. He let Hua Shuirou shout out what he was thinking, and then he gave the Green Silk Bird a soul instruction.
However, just using the simplest soul instruction on Hua Shuirou and the Green Silk Bird, who did not have any power at all, made him feel dizzy. He almost fainted on the spot. He sighed to himself. It looks like I should use this power less in the future. If I use it on someone with a little bit of power, not only will it be useless, it will also hurt myself.
