The public opinion was quite intense, and Shi Xi's painter account received a lot of negative comments. Many people started to curse without asking any questions, saying that Xi Guang was a liar.

In fact, few of those who curse are Xi Guang’s fans.

When Shi Xi returned to the hotel, even the haters of Lu Xiu and Ruan Shu came out and without saying a word, they reposted the long Weibo post attacking Xi Guang and Lu Xiu.

Worried that Xiguang would be affected, the manager of the Crescent Gallery came to comfort him in time: [Painter, please do not make any response online for now. The gallery team has already prepared a response plan.]

The manager also said: "We are not afraid of our own shadows if we are upright. You are a truly phenomenal painter, not a man-made god. All we need to do is let everyone hear the real voice. Please feel free to create, and your personal exhibition will definitely be held as scheduled."

Shi Xi was indeed not too worried. Xi Guang and the movie "Muse" would rise and fall together, and Director Xiao would not sit idly by now.

In addition to Jiang Tong, Ruan Shu, Lu Xiu... none of these people are easy to bully. The man behind the scenes has picked the wrong person.

Ignoring the negative news, Shi Xi washed up, spread out a piece of drawing paper on the table, and started a new creation. Today's incident brought her new creative inspiration, and she wanted to express her ideas through painting.

Shi Xi was so focused on painting that the evil spirits would not disturb her unless it was something very important.

By the time Shi Xi pulled his emotions away from the drawing paper, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Qingyu floated over and looked at Shi Xi across the desk. His emerald eyes reflected Shi Xi's figure: "Junior sister, public opinion is much better now. Do you want to take a look?"

"Yeah." Shi Xi rubbed his wrist and opened the webpage.

"Look at this." Lin Ying was behind Shi Xi and pointed her slender finger at a hot search called #新锐画展真实repo#.

“This entry has risen naturally. The popular Weibo posts in it are all real voices from visitors to the exhibition, and the emotions are very sincere.”

A little fan: [Posted a Weibo to attack the marketing account of Xinyue Gallery and Xiguang. I just want to ask, have you seen the exhibition? @吃瓜第一线, you didn't even see the exhibition, and you started to spread rumors out of thin air? I now suspect that there are not many active fans in your comment area, because people who have seen the original work will not agree with your opinion. ]

Arctic Shiba Inu: [This is a very real repo of visiting an exhibition. This year is my third year to visit the exhibition of emerging artists at the Crescent Gallery. The exhibition hall is as comfortable and artistic as always. The exhibition experience is very good... The artists participating in this year's exhibition are also very good. Xi Guang is the most surprising painter. ]

Watching the Milky Way Together: [My eyes were wet when I watched "Muse" live. When I turned around, I found that people around me were crying silently. Is this the "worthless" painting mentioned by the marketing account? ]

Cat owners: [Protect our Fang Xiguang, don't be afraid, we know you are worth it! ]

Looking further down, there are many, many people who are taking the initiative to speak up for Xi Guang.

These words were like warm hands, gently caressing Shi Xi's head.

She curled her fingers and felt warm in her heart.

"Plop, plop..." Lin Ying and Zhang Qingyu both panicked when they heard the sound of tears falling on the table.

"Hello, are you crying?"

Shi Xi raised his head, bewildered: "Ah? I don't have it."

They turned their heads and saw a young man lying beside the desk. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, but his hair and eyes were a deep black. However, his dark eyes were now soaked with tears and looked pitiful.

Shi Xi blinked: "You are...Xi Guang?"

"I am Xiguang." Xiguang wiped away her tears, her mouth and eyes were unnaturally red, and she didn't dare to look at Shixi and the others, and whispered, "Their messages are very warm."

"Yeah, it's really warm." Shi Xi lowered his eyelids, his expression became gentle: "Because they all like you very much. They can see the soul in the painting and will not be deceived by a few words."

Xiguang nodded and gave a soft smile: "Yeah!"

Many people spoke up for Xi Guang. Even netizens who did not go to the exhibition said that they could feel the emotions expressed in Xi Guang's paintings through the screen. The long Weibo post by the first-line melon eater was a bit irresponsible.

However, "The First Line of Melon Eating" still insisted that these exhibition repos were bought by the Crescent Gallery and were just a marketing strategy.

At this time, Crescent Gallery sent a lawyer's letter to the rumormongers, stating that it would defend its rights to the end.

Lu Xiu also issued a lawyer's letter and statement: "I bought Xi Guang's painting out of personal love and collection needs. I bid 30 million because I think this painting has collection value. The article of 'Eating Melon First Line' is purely personal speculation..."

Xiao Xiayan was even more aggressive. She directly shared the chat records between the screenwriter and herself in her personal name, and told everyone bluntly: "Xi Guang was discovered by the screenwriter first. We acknowledged Xi Guang's talent before he became famous."

Ruan Shu reposted the most-liked painting exhibition repo and said in a high-profile manner: "When the other two paintings are exhibited, I will definitely go to see them, because Xiguang is worth it."

Shi Xi also reposted the exhibition repo on Weibo, supporting Xi Guang as the leading actor of the movie "Muse". Since the director and another leading actor have expressed their stance, she has to follow suit.

Hmm... Does this count as me supporting myself?

In short, these voices have reversed public opinion, and there are more and more rational voices.

Based on experience, if the "first line of melon-eating" does not want to be sued at this time, he should delete the Weibo post and apologize proactively.

However, "The First Line of Eating Melons" not only did not delete the Weibo post, but also continued to fan the flames in the comment section, and replied very quickly.

Shi Xi knocked on the table: "This marketing account is a bit weird."

Lin Ying frowned: "It's indeed weird."

"Hours," Teacher Zhuang stared at a certain avatar on the computer screen with a serious look, "I felt the resentment from the other side. It was very strong and not at the same level as last time."

Shi Xi hesitated for a moment: "Are you saying that the person behind this marketing account might be a puppet?"

"Well, don't forget, you were painting when the crows attacked you last time. Later, you created a very realistic painting called "Suppressing Crows". That painting happened to save innocent people on the haunted bus," Teacher Zhuang said slowly, "'Xia Junyan' may have guessed that Xiguang is related to you."

"Indeed," Lin Ying's eyes darkened, "He is used to hiding in the dark and manipulating puppets. This incident may be another conspiracy of his."

"This guy doesn't dare to confront us head-on, but he always lies dormant for a while before jumping out to disgust us." Zhang Qingyu's hostility became more intense.

Teacher Zhuang said, "I'll follow the network cable to take a look."

Shi Xi thought about it and said, "Go over and take a look. If you can't handle it, retreat immediately."

Teacher Zhuang said yes.

Shi Xi was still worried, so she put a summoning talisman on him. As long as there was anything wrong, she could use this talisman to get Teacher Zhuang back.

It was not the first time that Teacher Zhuang had used the Internet cable to catch someone. He quickly got into the computer with a very skilled posture.

He projected a ray of Yin energy from another computer, and was instantly frozen by the thick Yin energy here and trembled violently.

This is a closed room with closed windows and no lights on. Only two computers are emitting a faint glow, and there is a faint stench in the air.

The man sitting in front of the computer was typing skillfully, and the sound of the keyboard echoed in the closed room.

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Mr. Zhuang felt his heart tighten...if he still had a heart. This man had thick black feathers on his face and neck. His feathered skin had been scratched fiercely, leaving hideous scratches. His eyes were a strange blood red, filled with overwhelming malice.

It was a crow ghost. Mr. Zhuang guessed correctly that the person operating "Eating Melon First Line" was controlled by the crow ghost raised by "Xia Junyan", so his behavior was extremely abnormal.

The man stared at the computer screen motionlessly, typing away on the keyboard as if he would never get tired.

Suddenly, the man looked up at a certain part of the computer, tilted his head stiffly, smiled strangely, and said in a sharp and hoarse voice: "A friend is coming. It's amazing that he can find this place."

Teacher Zhuang did not leave immediately, carefully hiding his presence and looking at the screen of another computer. Before he could see clearly, a scarred and skinny hand pressed on the computer screen.
