Time flew by as one person focused on guiding the other and the other performed flawlessly.
As the sun sets, the Fu Hao statue, once an ordinary, simple, and rough stone image, has acquired a refined and detailed structure. While it may not be lifelike or extremely realistic, it is undoubtedly close to being a successful sculpture.
Zheng Quchi watched from behind, the cold sweat on her forehead already dried.
She secretly broke out in a cold sweat, recalling how incredibly bold she was to stop Gan Xin from going on a killing spree.
Actually, she was just pretending to be calm at first. She didn't know how things would turn out in the end, just as she wasn't sure if Gan Xin could handle her sudden idea.
Fortunately, he was perceptive and had an appreciation for art and aesthetics. She did not show him any images of the Fu Hao statue, but instead designed some standard ranges for him to create his own art within a safe range and with appropriate force.
The height of his eyebrows and eyes, the thickness and size of his nose and lips, the proportions of his face and ears—all these are things he has to weigh and decide for himself.
The "Fu Hao" in front of us has been reinterpreted, essentially redefined. The sculpture as a whole resembles a blooming flower, exuding a vibrant aura. Her smooth lines highlight a strong sense of physical beauty, undoubtedly portraying her as a lively and optimistic woman.
This is the character and demeanor that Gan Xin portrays.
It's unclear where he drew inspiration and design inspiration for the character during the creation process, yet he managed to portray a woman whose image differs so greatly from the current popular aesthetic of gentleness and refinement.
Gan Xin continued carving with undivided attention. Wang Zebang and Wei Yao finally arrived belatedly after receiving the news. They rushed over and quickly surveyed the scene. After assessing the situation, they strode to Zheng Quchi's side and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"
When Zheng Quchi saw them, her heart felt like it had been weighed down by a heavy weight, and she felt even more confident.
"I'm fine." She shook her head.
There were obvious signs of fighting around Fu Hao Jing Wan, and most of the Xuanjia Army soldiers who came with her this time were injured. They immediately looked at Gan Xin on the base with unfriendly and sharp eyes.
"He is..."
Zheng Quchi lowered his voice and exchanged information with them: "He is Gan Xin, the one from the Mo family who gave him the nickname 'Mad Blade,' you know him, right?"
"It's him?!" Wei Yao and Wang Zebang's expressions immediately changed.
"Yes, and I suspect that he was the one who made all the robbery equipment for the highwaymen."
With a serious and solemn expression, Wei Yao couldn't help but ask when he saw Gan Xin wielding his weapon and slashing at the stone statue, "What is he doing now?"
Zheng Quchi said, "Sculpture."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zebang's eyelids twitched. He simply picked up the conversation and continued, "Why is he suddenly here... as a sculpture?"
Lan Yue said with a look that said, "This whole development is as bizarre as a dream." She continued, "It was Madam who fooled him. No, it was Madam who previously thought that Gan Xin had the potential to become a master craftsman. He didn't believe her, so Madam continued to fool him. No, she gave him guidance and had him practice with this Fu Hao statue first."
Wang Zebang and Wei Zhuang were stunned for a long time upon hearing this.
"...He just believed it like that?"
The four, including Lan Yue, nodded emphatically: "He believed it!"
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao: "..."
I've never heard anyone say that Mad Saber Gan Xin is mentally challenged.
If Lan Yue and the other three knew what they were thinking, they would definitely say that it was because they were completely unaware of the lady's deceptive skills.
At this moment, Gan Xin finally put down his knife and stopped working. He looked at the brand-new "Fu Hao statue," completely ignoring all the sounds around him and immersing himself in his own creation and artistic atmosphere.
Looking at the newly completed statue, he exclaimed with barely concealed excitement, "I did it!"
No, it was the lady who succeeded.
Zheng Quchi was a master at seizing every opportunity. He was chatting with Wei Yao and the others when he turned around and immediately gave him an exaggerated and encouraging comment: "You did a very good job. To achieve such results on your first try, you do have some talent."
Gan Xin has lived this long and has been praised by many people. Who would flatter and encourage a grown man like him? On his path to pursuing craftsmanship, he has endured all kinds of disappointed looks and disdainful sighs. It's as if everyone is telling him: You can't do it, give up, and stop wasting your time on useless things.
No one can resist a barrage of compliments. If someone can, keep showering them with sweet words until they're overjoyed and completely smitten.
Gan Xin's tiger-like eyes widened, and the eight-foot-tall giant looked eager to learn: "If I want to learn wood carving, is that possible too?"
"It's not a big problem," she replied cautiously.
"Can you guarantee I'll learn it?" he asked again.
At this point, Zheng Quchi began to put on airs, saying, "I will only teach my students."
That's a clear enough implication: if you want to learn, go ahead and abandon the darkness for the light. She won't bother teaching someone from the opposing side.
"I cannot be your student," Gan Xin said decisively.
He glanced at Wang Zebang and Wei Yao. He had seen these two people in secret and recognized their identities. When Gan Xin looked at Zheng Quchi again, his eyes were completely different from before.
Gan Xin isn't stupid; he just usually relies more on intuition and doesn't like to think things through.
"You are Yuwen Sheng's new bride, Zheng Quchi?"
He couldn't think of anyone else who could command the presence of Yuwen Sheng's two most trusted confidants at the same time, and who would obey her every word.
Zheng Quchi replied decisively: "Yes."
Yuwen Sheng's new bride is none other than Zheng Qing of Ye, who is now being targeted by various countries!
