Words that have been spoken are like spilled water, they cannot be taken back . Lin Fan wanted to draw but the other party wouldn't accept it . This put Lin Fan in an awkward spot .
"You really don't want it?" asked Lin Fan .
Tao Shi Gang shook his head . "I don't want it . This painting must be produced in a specialized environment . Such a great masterpiece cannot be made in such a place . "
Lin Fan had nothing to say . Then, he smiled and replied, "Alright then . I'll owe you for now and when I have the chance, I'll repay you . "
Yue Qiu Ju Shi was still completely immersed in the artwork . Even just a small bird in the painting encompassed great character . At that moment, he looked up and said, "Master Lin, initially, Brother Tao and I were prepared to stay here for a few days but with such a masterpiece in my hands, I wouldn't be at peace without giving it proper protection . During the exhibition, I'll definitely display this artwork to the public . After the exhibition, Brother Tao and I will come back for a visit . "
When he was saying this, Yue Qiu Ju Shi was clearly a little embarrassed but he had no choice . He valued this painting of a hundred birds facing a Phoenix greatly . If it was even a little bit damaged, he would be very upset . He could only hurry back to Beijing and hang it up . Also, he had to get a very expensive insurance for it . It was the most important piece of work in his life .
"There isn't such a need, is there?" said Lin Fan . If these two masters stayed here and taught the children how to draw, that would be pretty good . They would be able to give the children a sense of a master's aura . If they really had to leave, then Lin Fan would have nothing to say . He had never thought that his own artwork would be so important to some people .
"There is such a need . There is . " Yue Qiu Ju Shi nodded hastily . He turned his gaze over to the masterpiece which was laid across the drawing table . If he didn't make sure it was properly protected, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace .
Seeing how the situation was, Lin Fan decided not to impede . "Since it's like this, let's meet again next time . "
Tao Shi Gang said, "Master Lin, are you part of any association right now?"
After meeting a master like Master Lin, he wanted to pull him into the association . For such a great master not to be in the association was a shame . Moreover, they wanted to interact with Master Lin often in order to raise their own art skills . After all, there are no limits to learning . One should keep learning as long as one is alive .
Lin Fan waved his hand . "That will have to wait for now . If I want to join the association, I will contact you . "
Yue Qiu Ju Shi said, "Master Lin, before the Chinese traditional art exhibition, will you be free to come to have a look?"
Lin Fan nodded . "Sure, just let me know . "
Going to see the larger scene, expanding his horizons .
Everyone interacted for a while more, then Yue Qiu Ju Shi carefully and cautiously packaged the painting . He kept it close to his body as if he was taking care of a precious child . When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head . However, in his heart, he did feel quite good . For his own artwork to be so well-received, it was only natural for him to feel happy .
Outside Nanshan Children's Welfare Institute .
Yue Qiu Ju Shi said ecstatically, "Brother Tao, book the first-class cabin . "
Tao Shi Gang laughed . "I thought you liked the economy cabins . "
"This time is different . Even my life isn't as important as this painting . Of course, I have to be safe . I'll contact someone to come fetch us from the airport later on," said Yue Qiu Ju Shi .
Tao Shi Gang laughed as he said, "There isn't such a need, is there? No one else knows about this . "
"No, even if they don't know, I have to be safe . If I lose this, I won't be at peace for the rest of my life," said Yue Qiu Ju Shi .
This trip to Shanghai had really been worth it . It had been so worth it that he didn't know what to say . He had never thought that he would be able to witness the birth of such a wonderful masterpiece . Although Master Lin wasn't famous, Yue Qiu Ju Shi wasn't someone who cared about fame .
Only those filthy upstarts with a bit of money cared about the fame of an artist . Someone who really understood art wouldn't care about fame . What they cared about was the true value of an artwork . This value wouldn't change even after hundreds or even thousands of years .
Even in their association, there were guys that he looked at with disdain, mainly because they only knew how to hype themselves up and raise the value of their artworks . In the eyes of outsiders, they seemed impressive but to Yue Qiu Ju Shi, they were worthless . Even if they gave him their artworks for free, he wouldn't want them .
…
Nanshan Children's Welfare Institute .
Lin Fan took a deep breath . His heart ached a little because ten Encyclopedic Points had gone just like that . However, he knew that a price had to be paid for him to show off . Those ten Encyclopedic Points were the price he paid . Without a single Encyclopedic Point left, he felt quite miserable and could only slowly earn the points back .
Before this temporary knowledge disappeared, Lin Fan bellowed, "Leave the brush and ink . "
Zhao Ming Qing was startled . He was scared stiff by that voice . Then, he saw his teacher stride over to the drawing table and spread open the writing paper . The brush in his hand pranced about freely like a dragon flying, like a phoenix dancing .
Exceptional and incomparable .
A highly-skilled practitioner .
…
"The temporary calligraphy skill has finished . "
Upon hearing this sound, Lin Fan's hand stopped . "How many sheets have I written?"
Zhao Ming Qing counted, then said, "Ten, teacher . "
Lin Fan nodded contentedly . Not bad . Ten pieces were not bad . With this calligraphy of his, if he claimed to be second in the world, no one would claim to be first . When Zhao Ming Qing saw this handwriting, he couldn't help but gasp in shock . But because he wasn't a professional, he wasn't too shocked . Still, he didn't say anything as he felt that it was very imposing .
"This is for you . '老当益壮' . Old but vigorous . It's not bad . Remember to mount it and place it in your study room when you go back," said Lin Fan .
Zhao Ming Qing looked at these four words, then at Lin Fan . "Teacher, this…"
"What is it? Is there something wrong?" asked Lin Fan .
In front of his teacher, even if there was something wrong, he wouldn't have said it . Then, he shook his head . "It's nothing . It's just that these four words are exceptionally imposing . They don't seem normal at all . "
Lin Fan laughed . What a joke . If he was more well-known, these four words would've been worth a thousand pounds of gold . Even calligraphy professionals wouldn't dare to challenge him after seeing these four words .
Initially, when doing the painting for Yue Qiu Ju Shi, he hadn't thought much of it . After painting it, he realized that a piece of Chinese art without a few words written on it wouldn't be impressive enough .
However, he didn't know calligraphy, so what could he do? He could only exchange his Encyclopedic Points for it . But fortunately, the Encyclopedia was quite reasonable . The temporary skill only required ten points . He had no choice but to do it . It was his own fault for not thinking things through beforehand .
That painting was definitely an exceptional masterpiece but if it were in his hands, it would be worthless . However, by giving it to Yue Qiu Ju Shi, it not only made him worship Lin Fan but he also helped to advertise Lin Fan .
Unknowingly, Lin Fan started fantasizing .
In his fantasy, the bank came to collect his debts, $1 billion . He had no money and couldn't pay the debts . Then, the bank told him that he could just draw ten paintings for them . When he thought about this, Lin Fan couldn't help but start laughing .
Zhao Ming Qing stood at the side, looking at his teacher . He saw his teacher start laughing for no reason and was a little frightened . "Teacher . . . teacher…"
Lin Fan came back to his senses, "What is it?"
Zhao Ming Qing shook his head . "It's nothing . "
"Oh, right . I should explain the parts of 'Various Types of Typhoid' that you don't understand . Listen carefully and think about it when you go back," said Lin Fan .
Zhao Ming Qing nodded . "Yes, teacher . I will engrave it into my memory . "
