Chapter 311 Banquet (6)
He Qianyi's expression darkened. "Yinggui, do you really think Fellow Daoist Tao is better?"
He Yinggui said confidently, "It's more than just one plan. Miss Zhou's painting clearly shows a war. But we are just ordinary people in the world of immortal cultivation. Instead of worrying about the war that may come at any time, it is better to deal with the current situation first. If we can't even face this kind of thing and feel hopeless, how can we withstand the so-called war?"
This made He Qianyi's face turn ugly, but Yue Qingya said at this moment: "This kind of thing is cruel to us, but not to the aliens. Master He may need more experience."
Surprisingly, Wang Xu also spoke up: "What I actually saw was even more unbearable than this painting, but I have to face it head-on. Otherwise, how can I kill the enemy?"
As these words, which sounded like teachings, were spoken, everyone's expressions became a little complicated. It was not because of the great principles, but because of the attitudes of those people.
They cast their gazes at He Yinggui and Yan Wenxuan and the others beside him, and the same thought suddenly crossed their minds: How could the Minglan Sect's main peak have become so weak? Even its once most steadfast followers had chosen to rebel.
Seeing their looks, Xu Qianjia suddenly felt something was wrong. He suppressed his anger towards Cheng Yimen and said, "You're overthinking this with just two paintings."
Wang Xu stopped helping Tao Zi and the others and said, "It's just that the scene brought back emotions. Since we're talking about painting, let's just talk about the painting and not mention anything else."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and compared herself to the painting in her mind. She was better in both composition and color. If there was one area where she lost, it was probably the feeling it gave people.
The more she looked at Tao Zi's painting, the sadder and angrier she became. However, she only felt the emotion at first sight, and then she calmed down.
I don't know what the outcome will be...
Yan Wenxuan took a sip of wine and said calmly, "The paintings painted by Zhou Daoyou can be painted by anyone, but Miss Tao is not one of them. You can't look at this painting for too long."
Only then did everyone realize this and started whispering to each other.
Xu Qianjia also noticed something was wrong and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more he couldn't hide the anger in his heart. He quickly looked away and didn't look at it anymore.
Tao Zi sat back in her seat, took a sip of wine, and looked indifferent.
A monk in the Consecration Period stood up and said, "Brother Tao's painting can stir people's emotions, which is indeed good, but other than that, it has no other advantages."
Yan Wenxuan sneered as she drank her wine, glancing at him mockingly: "Do you really think this is a painting competition between mortal women?"
Even if the paintings of the great masters in the world of immortal cultivation only contain a few strokes, they can attract people to scramble for them. The reason for this is not because the paintings are so beautiful - it is rumored that the paintings painted by the real great masters can both lure people into demonic states and eliminate their demonic nature, and every stroke can move people's hearts.
Just in terms of influencing emotions, Tao Zi is far better than Miss Zhou.
The monk was angry but dared not speak out. Yan Wenxuan was not the kind of monk who followed the rules. If he was angered, he would not only kill people from other sects, but even people from his own sect.
Xu Qianjia smiled gently and said, "There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Tao's paintings each have their own merits. Why don't we vote and decide?"
Hearing this, Yan Wenxuan and Xu Qianjia retorted: "On the battlefield, the enemy doesn't vote to decide who wins and who loses."
The elder from Chengyi Sect hurriedly apologized on his behalf: "Master Xu, he is not a man who can speak well. I hope you can understand."
Xu Qianjia smiled slightly, with a warning in his voice: "I also know Wenxuan's personality. He won't make a big deal out of such a small matter. But it's better for him to change his personality. After all, not everyone will understand."
The elder naturally agreed. Yan Wenxuan poured a glass of wine and stopped talking.
Under Xu Qianjia's rare firmness, everyone had no objection to the vote, and the final result was as everyone expected - Miss Zhou won.
But this victory seemed a little ridiculous. Even she bit her lower lip, lowered her head and said nothing.
Everyone present knew that the winner was not Fellow Daoist Zhou, but the main peak. But when did the main peak fall to the point of competing with a small sect over such a trivial matter?
Under their inquiring gazes, Tao Zi said with a smile, "This painting isn't exquisite, but I still want to present it to Young Master Xu. I wonder if Young Master Xu would be willing to accept it?"
Xu Qianjia smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse your kindness."
At the banquet that followed, everyone was smiling, but everyone had different thoughts in their minds.
Late at night, everyone dispersed. Tao Zi and Xi Jing went back to rest together, but were stopped by Wang Xu on the way.
Tao Zi paused and said, "Brother Yue, please take Xi Jing and the others back."
Yue Qingya nodded in agreement.
Zhou Qiandan and the others were a little worried, but they had no choice but to leave.
"Is there anything wrong, Young Master Wang?"
Wang Xu looked at her and said, "You were too arrogant today. No matter how weak the main peak is, it is not something that Yisan Sect can bully."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "But I didn't push them to the point of desperation. There's no need for the main peak to risk losing their reputation to deal with me."
The most important thing is that compared with other peaks, the main peak only has a reputation. Would Xu Qianjia be willing to give it up?
He wanted to say more, but considering that this was Minglan Sect's territory, he only said one sentence: "Fellow Daoist Tao, everything is excessive or insufficient. There is no deep hatred between you and the main peak of Minglan Sect, so there is no need to be so calculating."
Tao Zi smiled, her expression unfathomable hidden in the shadows of the trees, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Wang, but it has always been Master Minglan who started it all. I just don't want to endure it."
I am speechless.
She walked back to the courtyard alone when the senior suddenly said, "Two hundred meters to your right, that woman named He Qianyi seems to be arguing with someone. Do you want to go over and take a look? I can help you conceal your presence."
Tao Zi naturally agreed: "Thank you, senior."
She quietly went behind the tree and found that the person talking to He Qianyi was indeed He Yinggui.
"Yinggui, are you going to stand on her side?"
He Yinggui faced her anger without changing his expression: "Master He, you are joking. I am only speaking my mind."
He Qianyi closed her eyes and said, "How have I wronged you? You actually betrayed me so openly. Do you know that this will cause others to doubt the main peak?"
A smile appeared on his face: "Master He, you should have a good idea of the strength of the main peak."
She flew into a rage: "He Yinggui!"
"This is a fact. Not to mention the main peaks of the other two sects and four schools, even the other peaks of the Minglan Sect are far superior to you. You are only relying on the remaining influence that person left behind."
