"Everyone, we have found the painter for the Murong family. The rest of you may leave!"
Murong Qing wiped away her tears and said to everyone, "I have seen how much you have done these past few days. Each of you will receive one ingot of gold as travel expenses. Let's get going!"
One gold ingot is equivalent to five hundred taels of silver!
Converted to RMB, it's roughly over a million.
Everyone was incredibly excited. As expected of the Murong family, they had been treated to good food and drink and had been given the finest Xuan paper to paint on these past few days. It was like a field trip, and they even got a million.
However, they also had some regrets, as they were not chosen by the Murong family.
If you get selected, you're probably going to make a fortune!
Everyone looked at Lin Yu with envy, but since he was from Yunxi Mountain and had real skills, they all accepted their defeat wholeheartedly.
Before long, all the painters were dismissed, and even the effeminate man was driven outside.
Only Lin Yu and Murong Qing remained in the school.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Miss Murong, now it's just the two of us. Please feel free to speak your mind. If there's anything I can do to help, I will do my best!"
He realized that Murong Qing's offer of a large reward for the painter must be for some purpose.
He just couldn't understand what kind of work required an artist to do.
Murong Qing nodded and immediately said, "Since you are so straightforward, I have nothing to hide. I am offering a large reward for the painter to save my father!"
"Save your father?" Lin Yu asked curiously. "The master painter has a calligraphy brush, but what use is it? By the way, what exactly happened to your father?"
Murong Qing sighed, turned around, looked out at the valley outside the window, and began to recount: "In the back mountain of our Juechen Valley, there is an ancient cave dwelling, and inside the cave dwelling, there is a painted mural! My father was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and every day he would go to that cave to study the mural and copy the characters in it. Who knew that the mural was actually an ancient seal? Just three months ago, the seal loosened, and my father's soul was also drawn into the mural!"
Murong Qing said with a worried expression, "My father has been in a coma for three months now! During this time, he appeared to me in a dream, asking me to find a master painter within a hundred days to draw a path from the mural to guide his soul back. Otherwise, he may be imprisoned in the mural for the rest of his life and unable to get out!"
As she finished speaking, Murong Qing almost choked up, "It's been more than three months now, and there are only a few days left until the hundredth day. Fortunately, I have been waiting for you, the painting sage, to come. I beg you, my humble servant, to have mercy and save my father!"
thump!
After Murong Qing finished speaking, she knelt down before Lin Yu.
"Miss Murong, you mustn't!" Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
At the same time, I was also a little surprised.
Painting a wall?
Wonderful, wonderful!
This must be an ancient ruin. The ancient gods were truly powerful, able to create a soul world within a painting. What level of power could achieve this?
This must be the work of a Celestial Venerable!
Thinking of this, he was eager to see this magical mural, so he quickly said, "Miss Murong, don't worry, I can help with this, but my skills are limited. I can only say I'll try, and I can't guarantee that I can rescue Valley Master Murong!"
Murong Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. Since my father said that the Painting Sage can save him, then he definitely can. How about this, it's getting late, why don't you rest for the night and we go over tomorrow morning?"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, we'll do as you wish, young lady!"
Soon it was dinner time, and Murong Qing spared no effort in her hospitality, preparing a sumptuous feast for Lin Yu and even personally drinking with him.
In high spirits, they even performed a dance for Lin Yu called "Rainbow Skirt".
Murong Qing was already perfectly beautiful, charming and alluring. As she danced, she looked like a fairy descended from a celestial palace, ethereal and otherworldly.
The effeminate man sitting to the side seemed to be grinding his teeth in jealousy.
As the adopted son taken in by the Valley Master, he had been the only man in the entire Juechen Valley since childhood! He had long regarded Murong Qing as his wife!
However, at this moment, this damned hermit actually stole Murong Qing's attention, making him extremely jealous and resentful!
He wanted nothing more than to rush up to Lin Yu and scratch his face to pieces!
But he knew it wasn't the right time yet, because saving the Valley Master would require this damned mountain man's help, so he had no choice but to hold back.
"You brat, just you wait. After I'm done using you, I'll beat you to a pulp. Oh, and I'll cut off your balls so you'll end up like me!"
"Oh no, ptooey ptooey ptooey, I'm not like you, I'll be a real man soon!" the sissy thought coldly to himself.
Twenty years ago, Murong Cheng found a baby boy at the mouth of the valley and named him Liulian. The Liulian in Liulian means to linger and return, not the smelly durian!
However, this child has a defect; he was born without testicles.
As a child, he didn't know what testicles were. But as he entered adolescence, with physical development and the awakening of romantic feelings, he gradually learned about testicles and experienced their sadness. He often regretted not being a real man.
However, an opportunity is right in front of him, and if he seizes it, he can immediately become a complete man.
Thump!
He downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, his eyes burning with intense passion as he gazed at the gracefully dancing Murong Qing.
Murong Qing, you'll be mine sooner or later, definitely!
...
That night.
All was silent.
