Chapter 35: Evaluating the Painting - First Update, a good novel: Beijing Chess Edges txt download.

"Father, what should we do?" Lu Dong said.

"What the Zhao family is plotting, I don't know either. As for Zhao Hui, she is not much of a concern. For the Lu family, we can only wait and see. We owe that mother and son a lot, and this time, we must protect them." The somewhat aged voice in the stone room continued.

"I know what to do." Lu Dong said.

"Go, try to help them as much as possible. Read Chu Men fully." The stone room said.

The next morning, as the sky began to brighten, Lu Shaoyou stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbid air from his dantian. A layer of earth-yellow light converged into his body.

A night of cultivation did not bring much improvement to Lu Shaoyou, but he felt refreshed and invigorated.

"I should go to Tianbao Gate." Lu Shaoyou thought, remembering that he had borrowed 8,600 gold coins from Tianbao Gate yesterday and needed to settle the account.

After breakfast, Lu Shaoyou made an excuse to his mother and left the courtyard for Tianbao Gate, being cautious along the way.

"Master Lu, you are really early today." The two large men at the entrance of Tianbao Gate greeted Lu Shaoyou as soon as they saw him.

"Where is Wushi?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

"Please follow me, Master Lu. Wushi is on the second floor." One of the men on the left said, leading Lu Shaoyou upstairs.

This was the first time Lu Shaoyou had been to the second floor of Tianbao Gate. Usually, he would just go downstairs, pick up some herbs, and leave.

Looking around the second floor, the decoration was luxurious and grand. Even the floor was covered with a precious, smooth material. Entering a small hall, the furnishings inside were even more surprising to Lu Shaoyou.

The small hall was filled with valuable items, including paintings, antiques, and several long chairs that were clearly very expensive.

"Master Lu, please wait a moment. Wushi will be here soon." The man who led him in said and then left.

Lu Shaoyou looked around the small hall, his gaze fixed on a mural. The mural resembled the landscape paintings from his previous life, and this world had many elements similar to his past life.

"Does Master Lu have any expertise in painting? Why don't you comment on this painting?" At that moment, Dugu Binglan's voice came from behind, and three figures appeared: Dugu Binglan, the maid Xiaocui, and Wushi.

"I wouldn't dare. I am shallow in knowledge and cannot speak with confidence." Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly. In his previous life, he had learned some modern art, but he was not familiar with this type of landscape painting and did not dare to speak rashly.

"Master Lu, please don't be modest. Please share your insights." Dugu Binglan smiled, seemingly insisting that Lu Shaoyou say something.

"This..." Lu Shaoyou hesitated, as he truly did not understand this type of painting.

"What, does Master Lu look down on me?" Dugu Binglan's beautiful eyes gazed at Lu Shaoyou, smiling but with a serious expression, clearly insisting that he speak.

"Since that's the case, I'll say a few words. Miss Dugu, please don't laugh." Lu Shaoyou said, feeling that her gaze did not allow him to refuse. He could only say a few words. "Painting is a matter of principle, and if I understand one, I should understand many. I don't think I'll say anything completely off the mark."

"Please, Master Lu, share your insights." Dugu Binglan said, and the maid Xiaocui also looked at Lu Shaoyou with anticipation.

Lu Shaoyou examined the mural in front of him. The painting depicted a young girl standing by a lotus pond, gazing into the distance. After a moment, Lu Shaoyou said, "This painting is skillfully executed, with unpredictable brushstrokes that are unique. It's clear that the artist did not sketch a draft, but rather painted directly, engaging in a direct battle with the paper to achieve this effect. In terms of form, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece."

Hearing Lu Shaoyou's words, the maid Xiaocui smiled slightly and then asked with a puzzled look, "If Master Lu says so, there must be more to it, right?"

Lu Shaoyou smiled lightly and said, "In terms of form, this painting is a masterpiece, but it has some flaws that are regrettable."

"Oh, please enlighten us, Master Lu." Dugu Binglan was slightly surprised, glancing at the maid Xiaocui before asking.

"The facial features of the woman in the painting are somewhat stiff, lacking spirit. The brushstrokes used for the lotus pond are too sharp and lack roundness, making the painting lack vitality. The composition is also somewhat unbalanced, with the top being too light and the bottom too heavy. The lines are not delicate enough, indicating that the artist was preoccupied with thoughts while painting. Given the expression of the girl in the painting, I believe the artist must be a woman." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, "I am just speculating, Miss Dugu, please don't take offense."

"Master Lu has keen eyesight, truly broadening my horizons." The maid Xiaocui said, looking at Lu Shaoyou with surprise.

"I am just showing off my incompetence." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, then noticed a few small characters and a seal at the corner of the mural. Upon closer inspection, it read "Dugu Binglan."

"So this painting is by Miss Dugu. I was too presumptuous." Lu Shaoyou was surprised. The painting was actually by Dugu Binglan, which was quite unexpected.

"Master Lu, please sit." Dugu Binglan said, her expression also showing surprise.

"Master Lu, why did you come to Tianbao Gate so early today?" After everyone was seated, Wushi asked.

"Owing such a large sum to Tianbao Gate, I naturally need to come and settle it. However, I can't pay it all at once and can only pay it off gradually." Lu Shaoyou said with a slight bitter smile.

"A few thousand gold coins are nothing to worry about, Master Lu, don't take it to heart." Wushi said.

"But owing money makes me uneasy." Lu Shaoyou smiled.

"If Master Lu is willing, why not join our Tianbao Gate?" Dugu Binglan smiled.

"This..." Lu Shaoyou's expression changed slightly, then he smiled again, "Joining Tianbao Gate would only be a waste of your resources. I don't want to cause trouble."

"Master Lu, you are too modest. If you ever want to join, Tianbao Gate will always welcome you." Dugu Binglan said.

"By the way, here are some Enlightenment Pills. Wushi, please record them. I will use them to pay off my debt. Also, give me two more portions of these pills and fifty portions of the materials for the previous pills." Lu Shaoyou handed over a dozen Enlightenment Pills to Wushi.

"No problem, Master Lu, please wait a moment." Wushi looked at the list Lu Shaoyou handed over and then left the small hall.

"Master Lu, did you refine these pills yourself?" Dugu Binglan asked, looking at Lu Shaoyou.

"Do I look like a Spirit Practitioner?" Lu Shaoyou glanced at Dugu Binglan. Today, she was wearing a long dress, with a slender and graceful figure, and a delicate face, making her an absolutely beautiful woman.

However, Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but look at the maid Xiaocui. Her face was carved with exquisite features, her eyes clear and deep, as if seeing through everything, a small, delicate nose, and a cherry-like, delicate mouth. Together, they formed a beautiful face, but the red birthmark on her face made people sigh. Such a woman, if not for the birthmark, would be perfect.

"Master Lu, you are hard to fathom." Dugu Binglan said lightly.

"Master Lu, everything you requested is ready." A moment later, Wushi returned to the small hall with two packages of herbs.

"Thank you. I will take my leave now and come back to settle the account next time." Lu Shaoyou said, then stood up and left.

"Master Lu, please walk slowly." Wushi said.

"Wushi, what do you think?" After Lu Shaoyou left, Dugu Binglan asked.

"Last night, we received news that Lu Shaoyou killed a martial disciple servant of the Zhao family and severely injured another martial servant, which surprised everyone." Wushi said.
