Chapter 68 Are you going to sacrifice yourself tonight?

Zhu Qian thought that Yuan Hongyi was also stunned by her amazing paintings, so she acted reserved and said, "Oh, teacher, you don't have to praise me. This is my first time painting, and I thought you wouldn't like it!"

Ke Liman had just finished the last stroke and picked up the kettle to drink water. When she heard Zhu Qian say this, her eyes shifted to the painting beside her.

When she saw the stunning bird, she almost spit out a mouthful of water. She swallowed it back in a hurry and was choked by it, causing her to cough violently.

"Who hired you to paint like this?"

Yuan Hongyi's hands were shaking. What the hell was this drawing? It was even worse than the sketch her three-year-old daughter drew!

Zhu Qian raised her eyebrows: "Is it ugly?"

Fortunately, before Yuan Hongyi had time to lose her temper, she saw the paintings of Xu Xiatong and Ke Liman who were sitting next to her, and the anger in her heart finally eased.

"Xia Tong performed steadily today and had good color control, but I felt that something was missing."

Xu Xiatong was already Yuan Hongyi's most satisfied student in the class. She turned to look at Ke Liman's painting, examined it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, finally a classmate in our class drew the feeling I wanted."

Yuan Hongyi directly took out the painting on Ke Liman's desk and placed it in front of everyone. "Chinese painting is about blending the self with the object, creating artistic conception, and making the atmosphere vivid."

"This student painted a snow scene, and the white plum blossoms do not seem overshadowed by the snow."

After Yuan Hongyi finished complimenting, her face darkened again, "But that's off topic. I was talking about painting flowers, birds, and landscapes. Although your painting is good, it only depicts flowers."

"Off topic, zero points too!"

Xu Xiatong curled her lips in disdain. She thought her painting was so good that she could even receive praise from Yuan Hongyi, but she didn't expect it to be a bronze one.

Ke Liman did not react much. He humbly accepted Yuan Hongyi's comments and just quietly changed a piece of paper and started drawing again.

Yuan Hongyi admired her dignified character. "Okay, now that we've finished drawing for today, it's almost time to end the class. I'm not satisfied with any of the drawings. We'll continue this topic in the next class."

The classroom was suddenly filled with resentment, and Yuan Hongyi walked out of the classroom without looking back.

Zhu Qian approached Ke Liman and asked curiously, "Is this teacher so awesome? She looks so young..."

"She is the vice president of the academy, a professor of Chinese painting, and a senior teacher at the art academy. I heard that one of her paintings can be sold for tens of millions."

Ke Liman naturally knew how famous Yuan Hongyi was in the Chinese painting world. She had just graduated with a doctorate at the age of 26.

Zhu Qian nodded, not quite understanding.

Student A: “I heard that Teacher Yuan was reluctant to teach students before, and it seems that she left the classroom after giving birth to find an apprentice.”

Student B: "Haven't we been looking for her for almost three years? We still haven't found her. But whoever becomes her apprentice would be unlucky."

Student A: "Yes, it's too harsh."

Ke Liman listened silently to the discussions of several classmates. Her goal in her previous life was to become Yuan Hongyi's apprentice.

As she is just a college student, it is too difficult for her to become strong on her own. It would be different if she could have Yuan Hongyi as her teacher.

That means he is a master in the entire painting circle, which means he can be recognized.

After class, Zhu Xi walked beside Ke Liman and asked in confusion, "Didn't Li Ming say he was going to enroll as well? Why didn't I see him today?"

Ke Liman was walking in front. When she passed the teacher's office downstairs, she caught a glimpse of Xu Xiatong handing an Ailuk bag to Yuan Hongyi, who had an impatient expression on her face.

Before Ke Liman stayed for long, Zhu Qian suddenly said, "Liman, Liming asked me to come over for something. I won't go back to the dormitory with you for now. Call me if you have anything else."

"Okay, go ahead."

Ke Liman tied her hair into a high ponytail today. She wore a blue long skirt and a pair of matching lace-up high-heeled sandals, revealing her white and slender swan-like neck and skin as delicate as snow-white jade.

Her skin was so white that it glowed. When she passed by a basketball court, several boys who were playing basketball quickly asked for her WeChat.

The first time she was asked for her WeChat ID at school, Ke Liman felt a little strange. Perhaps it was because she had been bullied by her classmates for a long time in high school, and she never realized that she was beautiful.

While she was still in a daze, a large figure blocked her way and said, "Sorry, I can't give it to you!"

Several boys who were playing basketball had to leave in disappointment.

Jiang Nanfeng seemed to have just returned, and he looked exhausted. He still smiled gently, "Li Man, if you don't know how to say no in college, you'll be easily taken advantage of."

Ke Liman saw that Jiang Nanfeng was a little excited, so she stepped forward and said, "The thing I asked you to find out last time..."

"Li Man, that matter is a bit complicated. It involves the Fu Group. They have always done a good job of keeping secrets, so it's not easy to find out."

Jiang Nanfeng was a little embarrassed. "Excuse me, I heard before that your brother has already..."

"He is my biological brother. I thought he had passed away like my parents, but I never expected that he was still alive."

Jiang Nanfeng was also a little surprised, "Is he his biological brother?"

Although Ke Liman felt a little disappointed, she couldn't tell Jiang Nanfeng about Fu Nanhe's threat to her, so she forced herself to smile: "It's okay, I've already thought of a way to save him."

Jiang Nanfeng thought that Su Guhuai had intervened to help, so he stopped asking questions and said, "That's good. I'm transferred here to work now. If anything happens, you can call me directly. I'm always here."

Ke Liman nodded politely and said with a smile: "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Nanfeng immediately smiled and said, "Would it be convenient for you to go out for dinner together tonight? I'll treat you."

Seeing how hard he was working to find out information for her, Ke Liman didn't want to refuse. Just as she was about to agree, a text message suddenly came through her phone.

Fu Nanhe: I'm in a good mood tonight, please come over.

Ke Liman tightened her grip on the phone, raised her head and looked at Jiang Nanfeng apologetically, "I'll treat you later. I have something else to do tonight."

There was a subtle flash of disappointment in Jiang Nanfeng's eyes, but he didn't force her. He just asked her to finish her work and go back to the dormitory to have a good rest.

Ke Liman took a deep breath and typed two words on the screen.

What time?

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ke Liman showed up downstairs of the club on time wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. She was still not mentally prepared for what would happen next.

My phone vibrates.

Fu Nanhe: Are you downstairs?

This sentence made Ke Liman nervous for a moment. She felt as if she was being monitored and she looked around.

Fu Nanhe: Don’t go to the room yet, come to the third floor and drink with me.

Ke Liman bit her lip, without hesitation, and strode towards the club in front of her.

This is the only club near the college. This was not the first time Ke Liman had been here, so she found the private room with ease.
