Seeing that the girl was also insistent, Wu Xian had someone prepare pen and ink and stood aside.
Today, Song Xingyao is wearing a blue jewel-colored silk cheongsam with lake-blue ribbons draped over the cuffs. As she dips her brush in ink, the ribbons become stained with ink, making her look even more noble and elegant.
With fluid and powerful movements, he lifted the brush and wrote on the blank space. As the ink flowed in layers, it penetrated the paper with force and vigor. The four characters "Still waters run deep" were prominently displayed under the white jade brush handle.
