"Simple!" Zhang Xuan is oblivious to the thoughts and astonishment of the crowd. Chuckling lightly, he says, "Even though a savage beast like the Chixiong possesses invincible defense, its body is streamlined, similar to a sharp sword. It specializes in swift attacks and defeats its opponent through speed. It doesn't rely on strength and weight to suppress its opponent forcefully! From this, it can be deduced that its aura is as sharp as a sword, not as heavy as a mountain! To draw a savage beast but get its disposition wrong, if this isn't a guess, what else can it be? "
Master Lu Chen's body staggers.
The other party isn't wrong, he is right!
Previously, he thought that since the Chixiong possesses invincible defense, its disposition should be as heavy as a mountain. However, after the young man's reminder, he suddenly recalls that he has read about it in a book. This savage beast possesses incredible speed and is capable of killing without leaving a trace. This is precisely the reason why very few have seen its true appearance!
The greatest taboo for a master painter is to get its disposition wrong. If he were to get it wrong, no matter how precious the painting is, it would become trash. He has already given him a lot of face by only saying that it's not bad and not going overboard.
"Good, good!" After praising him twice, Master Lu Chen's face flushes in excitement.
If it was just one painting, it could be due to luck or coincidence. However, to be able to see through two of them and hit the nail on the head, he can tell that even though the young man before him looks young, he is a true master painter!
His standard can only be higher than his!
Friends are easy to find, but soulmates are hard to find. For him to become the emperor's tutor, there is no one in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom who can match up to him in the field of painting. Usually, when he explains to others, they would just brush it off casually and praise him profusely. No one is able to understand what he is saying, needless to say, point out his flaws!
This is also the reason why he feels so desolate. He often opens his doors to instruct the diligent juniors in hopes that he can find a successor.
At this moment, meeting someone who can point out his flaws is equivalent to meeting a soulmate. How can he not be excited?
The fact that he didn't jump up on the spot is already a testament to his strong willpower.
Seeing the master's excited expression, Huang Yu and Bai Xun stare at one another. The bickering from before is gone. Instead, their eyes widen so much that they are about to fall to the ground.
They had known this master since they were young. He was a man who would not change no matter what happened. Last time, His Majesty the King had specially sent someone to deliver the [Polar Luminous Pearl], which was priceless, but he did not even take a look at it and had the servant keep it in his room!
The young man casually answered a question, and this happened … Could it be that what he said was true?
With such thoughts in mind, the two of them turned to look at the young man not too far away. However, no matter how they looked at him, he looked extremely ordinary. There was nothing special about him.
"Xiao Yu, why aren't you introducing this young master to me?"
Just as he is perplexed, he hears Master Lu Chen's question.
"Introduction? He … "Being questioned, Huang Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that she hadn't asked for the other party's name. Her face reddened, and she scratched her head awkwardly. Turning to Zhang Xuan, she asked," Ah, right, what's your name again? "
Hearing this, Bai Xun, who was sitting at the side, looked constipated.
Just a moment ago, he was so jealous that he almost died. He thought that his goddess had been snatched by someone else, and he couldn't wait to beat this young man up. Only now did he realize that … Huang Yu didn't even know his name!
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have gotten so angry!
However, before he could resolve his dilemma, Master Lu Chen's furious voice sounds, "What do you mean by you and me? Don't you know the rules! This little brother, you and I are of the same generation. You have to call me Grandmaster in the future! "
"Of the same generation?"
This time, not only did Huang Yu and Bai Xun faint, even the butler, Uncle Cheng, was stunned. He stared at Zhang Xuan as though he was looking at a monster.
What is Master Lu Chen's identity?
Emperor Shen Zhui's teacher, the true Emperor's tutor!
No one in the entire kingdom dares to call him Grandmaster Lu Chen's peer. Because, the moment they do so, it means that they are the elder of the emperor!
Yet, a person of such status wants to call a young man who isn't even twenty yet his peer? Did they hear wrongly?
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Seeing the two of them in a daze, Lu Chen berates once more.
"Yes!" Bai Xun and Huang Yu hurriedly bow, "Greetings to Grandmaster!"
"There's no need to stand on ceremony!" Not expecting Lu Chen to be so courteous, Zhang Xuan shakes his head helplessly, "I am Zhang Xuan. I only managed to comprehend Grandmaster's painting by chance. I am unworthy of the title of Grandmaster!"
"So it's Little Brother Zhang Xuan. You can't say that, rules are rules! Since you were able to point out my mistake with a single glance, it shows that you have a deep understanding of painting and possess exceptional eye of discernment. If I can't even be considered as a Grandmaster, wouldn't my title as a Grandmaster be undeserved? "Lu Chen says.
Zhang Xuan laughs dryly.
It's true that he was able to point out the mistake, but he didn't do it with his ability. Instead, he used the cheating tool, the Library of Heaven's Path.
If he didn't use it, needless to say, he wouldn't even be able to figure out what the painting was.
"Alright, stop rejecting it. You can just reprimand these juniors whenever you see them in the future!"
Not knowing what Zhang Xuan is thinking, Master Lu Chen says casually.
"Juniors? Reprimand them? "
Bai Xun and Huang Yu are on the verge of tears.
The heck, we aren't that old, yet you suddenly become a Grandmaster … Brother, you are way too fierce!
Ignoring the depressed duo, Master Lu Chen looks at Zhang Xuan doubtfully, "Little brother, you didn't follow Xiao Yu here for a leisurely stroll, right? May I know what I can help you with?"
"I heard that master has a huge collection of books here. The reason why I came here is to look for some Fighter 6-dan cultivation technique manuals …"
Hearing him ask about his motive, Zhang Xuan hurriedly replies.
This is the reason why he came here. He mustn't miss this opportunity.
"I do have a huge collection of books here. However, most of them are paintings and there aren't many cultivation technique manuals here. As for Fighter 6-dan cultivation technique manuals, there are only a few of them and they are all in my study room. Come, I'll bring you there to take a look!"
Hearing his intentions, Master Lu Chen strokes his beard with a smile and stands up.
"Old master, your study room …" The butler, Uncle Cheng, can't help but step forward.
The old master's study room has a collection of unique and precious books. Outsiders are not allowed to enter and even Emperor Shen Zhui was stopped at the door when he came!
Back then, a maid who was unaware of the situation ran in to clean the room and ended up being beaten to death!
This is precisely the reason why the study room is a forbidden zone within the forbidden zone in the entire Lu Residence. No one dares to enter …
Now that the old master wants to bring in a young man whom he just met, he is at a loss as to what to do.
"The reason why I don't allow others to enter my study room is because I don't want them to be tainted with the aura of the mortal world. Little brother Zhang Xuan is one of my peers, a master painter. It is my honor to be able to offer you some pointers. What is there to stop you from doing so?"
Master Lu Chen's face darkens.
"Yes!" Uncle Cheng hurriedly steps aside.
Even though he knows nothing about painting, at this moment, he knows that there isn't any problem with what the young man said previously!
Otherwise, the old master's attitude wouldn't have changed a hundred and eighty degrees, becoming so amiable.
"Let's go!"
Master Lu Chen leads the way forward and Zhang Xuan follows behind him. After walking for a while, they arrive at a spacious room.
As expected of a master highly praised by Huang Yu, the collection of books in the study room is indeed substantial. The bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books and there are at least several hundred thousand of them. Walking in is as though entering a library.
Walking among the bookshelves, Zhang Xuan casually glances around. Just as the other party said, most of them are books on painting and calligraphy. There isn't a single book on cultivation technique or secret manuals.
"The cultivation technique manuals are here. There are only a few of them and they were casually thrown away after I finished cultivating them!"
Master Lu Chen introduces the books with a smile. Then, he leads Zhang Xuan to a corner of the study room.
