"Speaking of which, our young lady has reached marriageable age!"
"I must say, Lin the Painting Master and our young lady really do look like a perfect match!"
"Yes, yes! The Valley Master admires the Painting Sage the most! If Painting Sage Lin could become our Absolute Dust Valley's son-in-law, the Valley Master would be overjoyed!"
The maids whispered among themselves, beaming with joy.
Hearing these words, Murong Qing blushed to the roots of her neck.
She snapped angrily, "That's enough! Stop talking nonsense!"
With her father's soul yet to be redeemed, she had no mind to think about personal matters.
She said to Lin Yu, "Shanren, why don't we hurry over to the cave?"
Lin Yu nodded with a smile, "Miss Murong, please lead the way!"
The two walked towards the back of the mountain.
They soon arrived in front of the formation.
Murong Qing formed a hand seal, and the array suddenly lit up before gradually dimming.
Suddenly, a hole appeared before Lin Yu's eyes.
"Mr. Lin, please!"
"Please, miss!"
The two nodded and entered the cave one after the other.
The light from the luminous pearl faintly illuminated the entire cave, and the two continued walking in until they reached the innermost part.
A massive mountain wall came into view.
However, when she arrived at the foot of the mountain wall, Murong Qing was instantly stunned.
The mountainside was covered in ink.
It is still faintly visible that what should have been a landscape mural has now been splattered with ink.
It's practically destroyed!
"Who did this? Who did this? Waaaaaah!!"
Murong Qing broke down instantly, squatting on the ground and bursting into tears.
Lin Yu was also slightly taken aback, not expecting the mural to have turned out like this.
This is clearly intentional damage!
But who could be so malicious? And why would they do such a thing?
Could it be that someone doesn't want Murong Cheng's soul to return?
brush!
Murong Qing suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with extreme anger. "Liu Lian! It must be Liu Lian! It must be him who did this!"
"Lingering?" Lin Yu frowned slightly. "Is it that effeminate man from yesterday?"
Murong Qing nodded, gritting her teeth as she said, "He is my father's adopted son. Only he knows how to activate this formation. There can't be anyone else but him!"
"Since he is the adopted son of Valley Master Murong, why would he..." Lin Yu couldn't understand.
Murong Qing sighed deeply, "That beast actually has improper thoughts about me! It's also my fault, I drank too much yesterday and spoke to him too harshly..."
When yesterday's events were mentioned, Murong Qing's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
She looked at the wall and was instantly overwhelmed with self-reproach. If she hadn't said those harsh words, she wouldn't have angered Liulian.
It's obvious that this beast is just trying to get revenge on him!
"What should we do? Father..." Murong Qing knelt at the foot of the mountain wall, sobbing uncontrollably, as helpless as a child.
The Juechen Valley has always been a single-lineage society, and her father is her only relative. If her father is gone, her life will only be a journey home. How will she face this lonely life?
At this moment, Lin Yu glanced at the painting and said, "Miss Murong, don't worry. Although this painting is mostly destroyed, it may still be possible to restore it. In a moment, have someone bring you various colors of paint, and I will help you restore this painting!"
"You can restore the murals?" Murong Qing was incredulous.
After all, Lin Yu had never seen the painting before, and she didn't believe that the other party could restore it to its original state.
Moreover, it's already mostly destroyed. Even if you were to redraw it, it would be much easier than restoring it. This is simply a pipe dream.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "To be honest, this painting is not unique. I have seen it in an ancient painting album before! The painting is called 'Painting the Heart'. With my memory, it is not difficult to restore this painting!"
"Is this true?" Murong Qing's face flushed with excitement.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Miss, you can trust me. Go get the dye!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing immediately nodded and turned to have someone prepare the dye.
The dye arrived shortly afterward.
Lin Yu picked up a large calligraphy brush, which was as big as a broom, dipped it into the dye bucket, and then his eyes changed, becoming sharp and fierce.
"rise!"
He shouted, held his paintbrush horizontally, and immediately leaped into the air, kicking his legs repeatedly in mid-air before rapidly splashing ink to begin his painting.
This scene left Murong Qing stunned.
She watched a TV series when she was a child. I don't know if any of you have seen it. That's right, the TV series is "Young Fong Sai-yuk".
At this moment, Murong Qing felt that Lin Yu was just like Fang Shiyu from TV series, elegant and chivalrous!
Swish! Swish!
As Lin Yu splashed ink and wielded his brush, the landscape painting on the wall gradually became clearer, and finally, it was presented to Murong Qing as if it were a brand new painting, lifelike and vivid.
"Brother Lin, you're amazing! I love you so much!"
Murong Qing couldn't help but scream like a little fangirl.
Upon hearing the words "Brother Lin," Lin Yu's bones went limp, and he almost fell from mid-air.
Fortunately, Lin Shaoshuai had great willpower and persevered in finishing the painting.
When he landed, the landscape painting was completely finished. The mountains and rivers were lush and green, and the people and scenery were outstanding. In the undulating palaces, the figures were very lifelike, and a kind of timeless charm lingered in the entire painting.
Wow!
However, the moment the mural was completed, the entire wall suddenly lit up.
It was as if some kind of restriction had been activated!
Murong Qing hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, please hurry and draw a mountain path to guide my father back!"
Lin Yu nodded and immediately took action, picking up his brush and drawing a mountain path towards the palace amidst the mountains and rivers.
As the mountain road appeared, a small black dot suddenly appeared on it. The dot grew larger and larger, revealing itself to be a haggard-looking middle-aged man who was running and shouting, "Daughter, save me! Daughter, save me!"
"Dad! Is that you, Dad?"
Murong Qing was excited and rushed to the painting. Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, Lin Yu immediately shouted, "Don't touch it!"
However, it was too late. A golden light suddenly shot out and instantly enveloped Murong Qing.
The golden light seemed to steal her soul, and a phantom instantly entered the mural. Her body then collapsed limply.
Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and caught her. Then he glanced at the mural and saw that Murong Qing's soul had turned into a small dot, just like a middle-aged man! At the same time, black mist filled the palace, like claws, and grabbed them all back!
Lin Yu's eyes flickered with uncertainty. After a moment's hesitation, he gently touched the mural.
Just as he touched the mural, a golden light struck and instantly enveloped him!
