Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 222: Too Hiding to Distinguish the Good from the Bad
Bai Yu was also troubled by Zhu Xian at this moment. But in the presence of other visitors, he could not light up and could only suppress his anger in his heart. He nodded and looked at Zhu Xian, “Because the guests did not welcome you. You can leave now! ”
Zhu Xiang frowned. He snorted coldly and said, “Hmph, Manager Bai, what does this mean? I'm your VIP Lotus House. How could you fire me in that way? ”
Bai Yu never thought that Zhu Xian was so arrogant and unable to distinguish the good from the bad. Even though he was furious, he still held her back and wanted her to leave first. However, this person turned out to be unable to accept the goodwill of others, and in turn, even bit him.
Under such blazing anger, Bai Yu did not even care about him anymore as she said coldly, “Mr. Zhu. The others clearly told the visitors to leave and you still want to stay here? Don't tell me you can't tell what's good and what's bad. Do you want others to kick you out, only then are you satisfied? Moreover, even though you are already our VIP Lotus Blossom House, but you still have to behave yourself. If you want to create trouble in our Lotus Blossom House, then leave. I'll revoke your VIP status. ”
Zhu Xiang became angry. This kind of feeling of being scolded and aimed at was not something that could make him confident. His face was flashing nonstop. He gritted his teeth and said, “Manager Bai, words have been spoken and you should be held back for your own words. I gave my painting to your Lotus Flower House, and you really want to expel Me? Do you want to destroy your reputation? Also, I've seen the painting on the wall downstairs. Most of them are rubbish. I'm holding the painting I hung together with the other trash painting in the same place. And you are still very solid despite my good intentions? ”
Beside his anger, Bai Yu smiled as she looked at him and firmly said, “Very good. I really never thought that you turned into such a character. I'll hold my words. But starting from today, if you dare to enter the Lotus House I am even half a step away, I will take it as a provocation to us. I want to see what abilities you or even the Zhu Family possess. ”
Professor Hu and Mu Wanying also looked furious at this moment. The paintings hang downstairs, some of which are also their work. And now that Zhu Xiang called them scum, this bothered them greatly.
“Pa ..”
Professor Hu slapped the table. He stood up and shouted, “Omong is empty! You're just a boy who hasn't grown your hair completely. You have few abilities, but your arrogance is truly limitless. If our painting is trash, then what is your painting rank? A treasure trove? Hmph. You just want knowledgeable people to make you a laughing stock. ”
“Professor Hu, You are a historian, You dare to compare yourself with Me in painting and calligraphy? I appreciate your trivial knowledge of history and literature. But please don't embarrass yourself in the field of painting. And to be honest, your painting hanging on the wall downstairs, is indeed trash. If you can't accept it, let's compare yours to mine and let all the guests at Lotus Blossom House rate and comment on them, “Zhu Xiang sneered.
Professor Hu was so angry that even his lips were shivering. His raised arms were also slightly trembling. He already knew that Zhu Xian was extremely rampant, domineering and unimpeded. But he never imagined that he would become arrogant so far. Did he really disrespect his parents?
Mu Wanying stood up and coldly looked at Zhu Xiang, “Using your strong point to attack another weak point, right? You know, looking at this attitude of yours, I really begged differently. Since you want to compare yourself, I'll accompany your game. Let's bet! ”
Zhu Xiang was startled for a moment before proudly answering, “Depend on you? Not that I look down on You or Professor Hu, but do you really think that You are better than Me? “Suddenly, his eyes turned around. A good idea popped into his mind as a sly smile appeared in his mouth. He cleared his throat and said, “However, if you want to bet with Me on behalf of Professor Hu, it's okay. But since it is a bet, a bet must be put into it. What bet do you dare to bet on this bet? ”
Mu Wanying's brows were slightly pressed. Zhu Xiang's meaningful gaze disgusted him. After a moment of silence, he replied slowly, “I have a precious set of calligraphy created by Grandmaster Wang Xizhi. If I lose, I'll give it to you. But if I win, what will you spend as a bet? ”
Zhu Xiang's brows furrowed. He then sneered, “Hmph, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy can be said to be a priceless treasure, but I don't think it's enough. If you lose, you have to abide by a condition, whatever it is. But if I lose, I'll give you the painting ‘Sail Boats and Pavilion’ by the famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, Li Sixun, while I'll also comply with your condition. ”
“It..”.
Mu Wanying hesitated. He cared about Wang Xizhi's precious calligraphy set, but losing it would only make him depressed for a few days. But, he was afraid that Zhu Xiang would ask for an exaggerated condition that he could not accept. Moreover, he also realized that although Zhu Xiang's demeanor was bad, his painting skills were excellent. He knew that he would not be able to win it convincingly. At best, it was just a tie.
“What should I do? Should I give up?”
If he gave up, it would not only show that he was afraid and admit that his abilities were inferior to his.
For a while, Mu Wanying was as if riding a tiger and it was hard to get down. It was impossible for him to stop here.
Tang Xiu, who was secretly enjoying the dish, finally put down the chopsticks in his hands. He shook his head and sighed, “Aiii, I have seen too many fake and shameless bastards, but few can match your incompetence, Zhu Xiang. I can say that the condition you're going to propose is, in fact, to let him dig a hole and jump in there himself, right? Actually, you don't have to admit it. I know very well your idea. There's nothing more you want to use the condition as an obstacle that once you win, you want it for you. Am I right?”
In a split second, everyone's expressions changed greatly.
She was furious, Zhu Xiang, who was seen, suddenly hated Tang Xiu and at the same time, immediately shouted out in a loud voice, “You shameless bastard! Don't you dare slander me! I admit I really like it, but I'm not going to use that condition to force it. A graceful woman was there and a man came to court, but still, he would respect her right to pursue her own choices. If I can get her heart, I'll marry her. ”
The marriage? Wasn't this also considered to have hidden intentions?
Everyone inside the box revealed an expression of disdain, as Mu Wanying had an extremely blackened face.
Fires of fury almost blazed out from Zhu Xiang's eyes. He glared furiously at Tang Xiu and snapped, “Who are you? Why are you interfering in other people's business? ”
Tang Xiu pointed towards Mu Wanying and clearly said, “You just told yourself that you are a man trying to approach a graceful woman. You can think of me as a messenger or guardian. How about that? Do you not dare to bet with him? And now, do you dare or not play and bet with Me? ”
Zhu Xiang clenched his hands. If he did not hold himself back strongly, he would really violently punch Tang Xiu in the face. Looking at Mu Wanying's blackened face, he said, “Alright! Since you want to insult yourself, I'll help you. But I don't like gambling without betting. I'll use the “Screen Lap and Pavilion” painting Me and you bet your collection. ”
“My Collection?” Tang Xiu rolled his eyes and turned towards Mu Wanying. He then said lightly, “Do you dare to lend me your precious Wang Xizhi calligraphy set?”
Mu Wanying took a deep breath and spoke in a deep tone, “I'll lend it to you.”
Tang Xiu shrugged and said, “Did you hear it? Wang Xizhi's precious calligraphy set should be enough, right? ”
Beside his anger, Zhu Xiang smiled as he clapped his hands and said, “Alright. Since you want to bet, then our bet will be! Saying! Do you want to do it here or somewhere else? ”
Tang Xiu looked at Bai Yu and calmly asked, “Manager Bai, right? Since Lotus Blossom House You have the habit of painting, you have to prepare brushes and paper, right? May I trouble you to provide painting tools and create a judging committee consisting of guests in your restaurant? ”
Bai Yu looked at Tang Xiu deeply. He then nodded and said, “I will immediately deliver the order as your request. The contest will be held half an hour later in the first floor hall. ”
“Alright!” Tang Xiu replied calmly.
Bai Yu looked at Zhu Xiang with a bad expression, saying, “Now, come with me!”
Zhu Xian gave a cold snort and looked at Tang Xiu provocatively as she turned to leave.
In the box.
The anger on Professor Hu's face slowly disappeared and was replaced with a bitter expression. He looked at Tang Xiu, shook his head and sighed, “Young man, you should not let your decision be influenced by your emotions! I know you did it out of goodwill. However, painting on the spot is not something you can fake! Wang Xizhi's precious calligraphy set might not reach the point of being priceless, yet it was still extremely valuable. This is a collection that everyone loves calligraphy and painting even in their dreams. ”
At this moment, the humiliation Le Baiyi had towards Tang Xiu became even stronger. He believed that Tang Xiu was only jealous of Zhu Xiang because of Mu Wanying. He even thought that Tang Xiu was so stupid. He knew that Zhu Xian was very skilled in painting, but still, Tang Xiu gave his face to slap him. The most annoying thing was that Mu Wanying would also lose his precious set collection.
Mu Wanying was also somewhat bitter and annoyed. Although Tang Xiu did it to help her, but thinking that she had to lose her calligraphy collection made her quite depressed. One should know that it was given by his grandfather, to whom he spent considerable effort to find and buy it at a high price.
“Tang Xiu, you can really paint?” After hesitating for a moment, still, Mu Wanying could not help but ask.
“Slight.” Tang Xiu replied lightly.
“You know a little about that?” Mu Wanying could not feel any more disappointed.
Professor Hu took back his eyes from Tang Xiu and said with a wry smile, “Ah, how I wish Yang Qing was here. He was recognized as the most outstanding genius of the new generation in the world of painting and calligraphy. His skill in painting was extremely high and only a few great painters of the older generation were more skilled than him. ”
Le Baiyi nodded after hearing this, saying, “I have also heard of this Yang Qing name. He was indeed a very skilled young painter. He began to learn painting at the age of five and was able to paint fine works by the age of ten. Between the ages of 16 and 26, just ten years old, he won hundreds of awards. ”
Professor Hu nodded and said, “That's right. If there is no sudden appearance of a painting recently, then, I originally believed that he could win first place in the next Asian Painting Competition with ‘One Hundred Birds Play Towards the masterpiece Phoenix’! ”
“Hah?” Le Baiyi was startled and asked, “Ear suddenly? What painting is that? ”
“Accurate, this is a grand and majestic large-scale architectural design, and it was manually hand-painted by someone,” exclaimed Professor Hu.
