Looking at the Ink Wash Painting

Lin Suxin took a deep breath, bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your guidance. I will definitely work hard."

The corners of Ye Xiu's mouth twitched. He tried his best to maintain a smile on his face and nodded his head.

He just said some nonsense. What did this fanatical fan think of? She wouldn't have any strange thoughts, right?

"Right, Senior Ye, I'll go back today and spread the news. Tomorrow, I'll be able to organize a group of people to look at that painting. How many people should I choose to bring to your shop?"

The people she knew were all very talented. There was a high chance that they had comprehended a bit of the law of time, so they had to make some choices.

Ye Xiu's brows rose slightly. From the looks of it, this young miss had quite a lot of influence in her circle, but it was normal after thinking about it. Her family was rich. She always had more friends than others. Her friends would usually give her face and hung out with her.

If they were many good potential customers, they couldn't bring many people to the store at once.

His ink wash paintings were like currency in the small circle of ancient culture. If too many of them were sold at once, it would cause inflation. The value of the original art would be greatly reduced, which would affect the sustainable development.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu said, "Then bring two of them to my place for a tour."

Lin Suxin received an accurate response and nodded her head, "Okay, then I will leave first. I'll go back and spread the news. I'll come and bother you again in a while."

"Okay." Ye Xiu replied. After she left, he opened the dog food that was given by her.

It was different from the food that Xiaobai usually ate. The dog food that Lin Suxin brought was golden in color and had a faint fragrance. It felt much better than the food that ordinary people ate. The amount wasn't small either, it weighed a full 10 kilograms, which was enough for Xiaobai to eat for half a month.

"Sure enough, people of different levels see different things. Is this the dog food that she said was a bit inferior?"

Ye Xiu shook his head speechlessly, "Xiaobai is really lucky."

As he spoke, Xiaobai ran out of the study room after smelling the fragrance. It circled around Ye Xiu's leg and wagged its tail happily. Its small eyes would occasionally look at Ye Xiu's bag.

"Your nose is really sharp. I'll give you some to eat first. You can eat the rest at home. I don't have a rice bowl for you in the store."

Ye Xiu stroked Xiaobai's head. As he spoke, he took out a handful of dog food and placed it on the ground, letting it have a taste first.

The customer left. Xiaobai was eating. Ye Xiu looked around. There was no need to clean the shop. He had only practiced ink painting for half a day. The ink on the tip of the brush was already a little dry.

He picked up the brush and took out the iron basin to wash the brush. He took half a basin of water and went to the door to wash the brush.

After washing the brush, the originally clear water turned into black water. This was proof that he had practiced his brush. If this continued, becoming a master artist wasn't a dream.

Ye Xiu watched for a while and then poured the basin of water into the soil around the jujube tree.

After that, he put down the iron basin and took the brush back to the shop.

When he turned around, he didn't see that after the black ink seeped into the soil, it quickly disappeared, as if there was a suction force below.

At the same time, the sturdy jujube tree moved without wind. As it trembled, the cracked bark on the trunk began to slowly twist. Many cracks constantly changed. When it stopped, the cracks on the bark looked like a human face.

The human face opened and closed its mouth, but it didn't make a sound. Then, it slowly disappeared.

Ye Xiu didn't know about this. After washing the brush, he brought Xiaobai home after eating dog food.

...

On the other side, in the city lord's manor of South City.

The cool feeling from the drizzle in the evening was washed away by the crowd. Instead, it seemed very lively.

Walking along the crowd, to the left, the pine trees stood on both sides, and the rockery was placed there. It took up an area of more than five hundred meters, and a building called the Mage Pavilion stood tall.

After leaving the ancient road book house, Lin Suxin walked in with excitement.

The Mage Pavilion was divided into two floors, with ten rooms on each floor covered by an advanced defensive magic array. This place was specially used to test new spells, and at the same time, it also considered the exchange between mages to ensure safety and secrecy. Some magisters would occasionally come.

Lin Suxin turned around and walked into the first room on the left.

There were already more than ten young mages sitting in the room, chatting with each other. When they saw her enter, it became even more lively.

"Suxin, you sent us a message on the way and told us to gather here. Did something happen?"

"If you encounter any trouble, tell us. We will definitely help if we can."

"Don't tell me you're going after a boy, and you want us to give you advice?"

"With the Lin family's status, if Suxin said anything, it would be up to her to choose. Why would she need our help?"

"That's right, she's not serious."

Lin Suxin also laughed. After greeting them one by one, she raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. Then, she directly opened the advanced defensive magic array in the room.

The magic array could block the detection of magisters, conceal magic fluctuations, and effectively protect their privacy.

However, opening it once did not cost gold coins, but magic stones.

This was usually used for important discussions. However, this was only a casual gathering between friends. Was it necessary to open an advanced defensive magic array?

Everyone looked puzzled, waiting for Lin Suxin's answer.

The magic array covered the room. Lin Suxin did not explain much. Instead, she took out a painting from her portable magic space, stood at the front, and opened the painting.

"Everyone, look at this painting. If you have any special feelings, tell me in private. I'll explain it again."

"If you don't, you can only say that you don't have the opportunity."

These two sentences caused everyone present to look at each other. What did they mean?

It was just an ink wash painting, and it was a common bamboo painting. How could one have feelings towards a painting? If it was a beautiful woman, they would have a lot of feelings towards it.

Some people did not take it to heart, and only thought that Lin Suxin was joking.

Another group of people looked at it seriously. Opening an advanced defensive magic array just to joke around, the price was too high. Even if it was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, there was no need for that.

The room fell into silence. Time passed by slowly.

Suddenly, one of the mages with red hair grunted and his nose started to bleed. He looked shocked and lowered his head, not daring to look anymore.

The person sitting next to him was shocked. "Li Fei, what happened to you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You guys should look at that painting more. Suxin won't trick us." Li Fei reminded them without saying anything else.

He could feel time flowing back!

The law of time was applied to his chest, allowing the blood in his chest to return to its previous state. However, the other parts of his body did not flow back, causing a conflict that resulted in a nosebleed.

This was definitely not something that Lin Suxin could control. It must have been given to her by a legendary master. If she took it out now, it must have some other meaning, such as recruiting disciples or passing down her own magic. If she was chosen, it was truly a great opportunity.

After casting a healing spell on himself, Li Fei raised his head to look at the painting again.

During this period, many people tried to comprehend the painting in depth and made different discoveries. However, there were also a few people who did not feel anything and just watched.

Time passed quietly. There were six people who truly felt the laws of time. There were seven of them including Suxin.

The others also understood that this was a fortuitous opportunity. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could only see an ordinary ink painting.

Lin Suxin had said before that she would explain herself if they had a special feeling. If they did not, she would not say anything.

Soon, an hour passed. The advanced defensive magic array slowly stopped. Lin Suxin solemnly put away the painting and led the other six people to the second floor.

The second floor was of a higher level and the magic array was more powerful.
