The unique murals made the entire exhibition area excited.

The judges except Ning Fan stood up directly and stared blankly at the mural in front of them.

"Can we still change the score?"

Such a sentence brought everyone back to reality.

Everyone can understand the meaning, which is to add points to this mural.

At the same time, everyone also thought of a question.

In this case, will this mural take first place?

After the previous session, the audience no longer questioned the mural, and even quite agreed with it.

"This mural is truly worthy of winning the first place. It's really amazing."

"That girl is really amazing. She can draw such domineering works at such a young age, and I have never heard of it before!"

"Hahaha, you can't be a junior of some famous master, hiding your identity to participate in the competition, right?"

"No way? Isn't this the plot of a novel?"

Everyone was joking casually, not paying any attention to Er Yuan who seemed to have exhausted all his social points after speaking in public, and then shrank himself into a mushroom. His body trembled slightly and he buried his head lower. .

After discussing Er Yuan, everyone couldn't help but think of another person involved.

Qi Qin still stood there, as if he hadn't recovered from what happened just now.

Everyone looked at Qi Qin with complicated eyes.

Recalling the ambiguity and stumbling that Qi Qin had when explaining his creative concept just now, I felt a little more doubtful.

Lei Ge, who was looking for trouble before, also had an ugly expression. He had always regarded Qi Qin as a role model, but his performance just now made him very disappointed.

His expression became even uglier when he thought about what he had argued with Ning Fan over him.

"Qi Qin said that just now. Was this painting really painted by him?"

Hearing this, the people around him started discussing in low voices.

"Yes, why did Teacher Qi say this? Are you too nervous and not performing well?"

"No matter how nervous you are, you won't be able to say what you drew, right?"

"Why is this happening? No wonder Teacher Ning gave me a low score. She must have seen something."

Ning Yizhou was a little funny when he heard Brother Lei's words.

He leaned close to Ning Fan's ear and said, "Ancestor, you see, this is a typical example of losing fans and turning back."

Ning Fan was amused by this accurate description and burst into laughter.

As the person involved, Qi Qin still stood where he was, listening to everyone's words.

His whole body was trembling, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

How could this happen, why did it happen? !

He actually lost to an unknown person, and she was a woman! ! !

But no matter how much he couldn't believe it, he had no room for change.

The friend next to him looked at each other, stood up gently, held his shoulders, and pushed him back to his seat.

"Brother Qi, please sit down. The results haven't come out yet, so don't think blindly."

"Yes, Brother Qi, the link just now was not in the competition, and who is Ning Fan? You don't have to listen to her words."

Everyone tried to comfort Qi Qin, and his frightened heart gradually receded.

At this moment, the host's voice sounded.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting. After the discussion with the judges just now, there will be some changes in the scores and rankings."

"After re-statistics, the final scores and rankings will now be announced."

After the words fell, the big screen flashed, and the scores on the screen were replaced with the latest scores.

It flashes very quickly, and at a glance it seems to be no different from before.

But if you look carefully, you can find that only Qi Qin and Er Yuan's scores have changed.

Although I no longer remember what the scores of the two were, I still remember the difference in scores between the two.

The score difference between the two was only one point just now, but now Er Yuan's score is fifty points higher than Qi Qin's.

And surprisingly, it was the remaining four judges who modified the scores. Only Ning Fan's score remained the same as before, without any changes.

This time, the audience at the scene had no objection to such a score, but quietly stared at Qi Qin's ugly expression.

At the same time, the organizer not only released the judges' scores, but also directly released the rankings.

Just when everyone's eyes fell on the rankings, the host's voice sounded again.

"Now the scores of all contestants' works have been tallied, so the top three in the fifth cultural innovation competition have also appeared."

"Congratulations to Qi Qin for winning third place for his traditional Chinese painting, and congratulations to Cheng Lai for winning second place for his shadow play. As for the first place in this cultural innovation competition..."

The host deliberately paused for a few seconds and then spoke loudly.

“Congratulations to Er Yuan’s mural for winning first place!”

When the words fell, the audience burst into applause.

Er Yuan, who had been huddled in his seat like an ostrich, was so frightened by the sudden roll call and the congratulations from around him that he jumped up from his seat and bowed repeatedly without even reacting.

"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone."

Looking at the girl being supported by everyone, Qi Qin's face was extremely ugly.

He actually didn't even get second place, but still lost to two women! !

Several friends next to him remained silent, fearing that Qi Qin's temper would be ignited if he asked the question. In this case, it was better to pretend to be stupid.

But Qi Qin knew that after what had just happened, it was no longer suitable for him to raise objections, and he would be exposed if he continued to pursue the matter.

The host spoke again, "Congratulations to the winning contestants. The fifth Cultural Innovation Competition ends here."

"All the entries will be displayed in the exhibition hall next door. Audiences can move to the exhibition hall to view all the entries up close."

The audience became excited when they heard that they could see the competition works up close, waiting to see Er Yuan's mural again.

After all, the detailed display of the mural just now was seen on a big screen, and it was still not as shocking as seeing it with the naked eye.

As the audience rushed to the exhibition hall, the three winners stayed behind to thank the judges.

Compared with Qi Qin, who looked ugly and didn't know how to speak, Cheng Lai, the author of the shadow play, seemed to be at ease.

He doesn't look too old, only in his early twenties, about the same age as Qi Qin, but he seems to have a much better personality than him.

Although he won second place, he was not proud or complacent at all when facing the praises from several judges. Instead, he humbly asked the judges and teachers for their advice on problems he encountered in daily life.

But when he turned to look at Ning Fan, he met the smiling eyes and the hand patting his shoulder.

He was instantly at a loss, his whole face turned red, and he could only stutter out the word "thank you".

Ning Yizhou saw his performance from the side and covered his face.

Yes, it seems that this is another fan of our ancestors.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Qi Qin standing in the corner from the corner of his eye, his face gloomy and darker than ink.

He burst out laughing, and the sound made Qi Qin look over.

Ning Yizhou, who was caught snickering, was not embarrassed. Instead, he met his gaze and his smile widened a bit. The gloating in it was much more obvious.

Seeing his expression, Qi Qin's face instantly became more gloomy, and the flying knives in his eyes seemed to turn into entities and flew directly towards Ning Yizhou.

And Ning Yizhou was not afraid to look at him like this, and even made a face in a very unsatisfied way.

This made Qi Qin unable to breathe and almost pouted.

When the two of them were glaring at each other childishly, it was finally Er Yuan's turn.

Several tutors surrounded her and asked her questions, most of which were unanswerable. She was able to draw such brilliant works at such a young age.

Ask her which university she graduated from and who her teacher was.

Er Yuan seemed a little nervous and stumbled over his answers to the judges' questions.

Ning Fan, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Is your surname Ruan?"

Her words made Er Yuan look back fiercely, and the answer was clearly written on his face, unable to hide his troubles.

'how do you know? ! ’

Several judges who heard this also fell into deep thought, and then suddenly thought of something.

The embroiderer, Teacher Su, said, "If your surname is Ruan... are you the youngest girl in the Ruan family?"

Er Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yes, my surname is Ruan, and my name is Ruan Meng."

Hearing her admission, several judges were even more shocked, "She is actually a child of the Ruan family. No wonder the murals are so well painted. You must know that only the Ruan family can achieve such a level. It's a pity that your family has always been secluded from the world. Rarely active outside.”

Ruan Meng nodded, "Yes, I also sneaked out to participate in the competition this time, so I changed my name like this, I'm sorry."

Several instructors laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "Why are you apologizing? We just look at the work and don't care who you are."

Ning Yizhou next to him rolled his eyes when he heard this. He didn't know who gave a low score by default when he saw an unknown person. Fortunately, the judges found out and finally revised the score.

After the greetings, the judge asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​painting this work? And you are so young, have you ever known the goddess before?"

At the mention of the goddess, Ruan Meng instantly became energetic.

"Of course, I have grown up listening to stories about goddesses. There has always been a painting of goddesses in my house, but unfortunately it is on the back. So I have wanted to draw a picture for you since I was a child, and it finally came true."

Ruan Meng's words made several judges nod, but no one noticed that Ning Yizhou came next to Ning Fan in the corner and spoke quietly.

"What happened to our ancestors? Why do they have your portrait in their family? Isn't it only our Ning family that has it?"

There was a hint of sadness at the end, as if Ning Fan had done something to feel sorry for him.

Ning Fan was not surprised by Ning Yizhou's words. When she saw herself in the mural, she had already guessed Ruan Meng's identity.

She glanced at Ning Yizhou and said, "The costumes for that sacrifice were designed for me by their ancestors, and they begged me for a week to draw one for me, so I agreed."

Ning Yizhou suddenly realized, "So that's it. Since I have your consent, there is no problem."

Then he continued, "I think the top brass of the cultural association doesn't seem to know much. He seemed to be panicked when he heard about the goddess before, but he didn't react when we discussed you later."

Ning Fan nodded, "He probably just knows that the Cultural Association is looking for something from me, but I don't know what it is specifically, so don't worry about him."

After Ruan Meng finished chatting with the other judges, she slowly walked up to Ning Fan.

"Teacher Ning, thank you for giving me full marks. I will continue to work hard."

Ning Fan looked at her shy look and smiled, "Have you always kept the goddess's painting?"

This question made Ruan Meng stunned for a moment and nodded, "Ah, yes, I heard that it was a painting that was very precious to my ancestors, so I have kept it for so many years. Although everyone later said that the goddess may not exist at all, this painting may It’s just an ordinary priest, but I think this is the goddess! I have always believed that the goddess exists, and I want to tell everyone about it!”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. After she finished speaking, she saw Ning Fan looking at her with a smile, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Sorry, I was too excited."

Ning Fan smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter. I'm very happy that you think so. Your paintings are very good. I hope you can keep painting."

Ruan Meng seemed to be encouraged and nodded vigorously, "I will! Thank you teacher!"

After Ruan Meng left, some well-known players wanted to talk to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan picked a few people she liked and only nodded a few words, but she ignored some people who looked unflattering.

After staying for a while, Ning Fan felt a little bored and said goodbye to the other judges.

Before leaving, I saw Qi Qin finally couldn't help but walk up to the judges and said, "Hello teachers, I am convinced by the teachers' scores, but I also want to know why the teachers revised the scores at the end. Wherever I have shortcomings, please give me teacher’s guidance so that I can continue to improve.”

Seeing his humble attitude, several judges sighed, "Actually, it's not that your paintings are not good, Xiao Qi, it's that Xiao Ruan's works are better, and as a painter, even though he is painting, the final result is It’s about conveying something, you can’t just use painting skills and draw something.”

Hearing the judges' words, Qi Qin's original anxiety was put back. It seemed that the directors were not aware of the problem.

But my heart, which had just fallen to the ground, suddenly rose again when I heard the judge's next words.

"And I've never heard of your painting process before, so I don't understand it. Are you really painting flowers?"

Ning Fan and Ning Yizhou stopped listening to Qi Qin's answer and left the competition exhibition area.

After leaving, Ning Yizhou still felt a little regretful, "Why don't you continue listening? I also want to hear the judges expose him in public!"

Ning Fan glanced at him speechlessly, "No."

Ning Yizhou let out a loud sigh and quickly asked, "Why? You just asked that, and what he said was basically exposed. Why didn't you expose him?"

Looking at Ning Yizhou's stupidity, Ning Fan shook his head helplessly.

"Since they praise him so much, it means that the Qi family now has a certain status. Since they are colleagues and may cooperate in the future, the dispute will naturally not be too tense." Listening to Ning Fan's explanation, Ning Yizhou understood. He curled his lips in displeasure.

But when he thought about the way other viewers looked at Qi Qin, he became happy again.

"Anyway, everyone already knows that he is not a powerful person, and you don't know that the person we had a fight with before had a super cool face the whole time. He must be very angry."

Looking at his gloating expression, Ning Fan smiled helplessly, "Stop being silly, let's go back."

Ning Yizhou, who was still immersed in the joy of being slapped in the face, was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Ah? Are you leaving? Is this the end of this exchange association?"

Ning Fan raised his eyebrows, "The goal has been achieved. What are you still doing here? Do you have anything else to do?"

Ning Yizhou then remembered that his ancestors were here to get close to the top leaders of the Cultural Association. The few words just mentioned revealed that these people didn't know anything about the goddess.

So there is no use staying here any longer.

He shook his head repeatedly, "I'm fine, let's go back."

They left the exchange association venue and returned to Ning Yizhou's sports car.

But just as he drove out of the parking lot, Ning Yizhou's cell phone rang.

He looked down, frowned, and glanced at Ning Fan hesitantly.

Ning Fan didn't look at him and just said calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Ning Yizhou spoke cautiously, "My friend came to see me for something and insisted that I go there. I see the address is nearby, that..."

"How about I go there and you wait for me in the car for a while, I promise it will be over soon!"

Ning Fan didn't pay much attention and nodded, "Go ahead."

With Ning Fan's approval, Ning Yizhou turned the steering wheel and turned it around aggressively on the street.

But Ning Fan was not prepared at all, and he almost hit the car window by his sudden U-turn.

Ning Fan silently turned to look at Ning Yizhou.

Ning Yizhou was also startled, and even felt a surge of fear.

If the ancestor had been hit, would he still be able to go home today? ?

He smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll tell you in advance next time."

Fortunately, Ning Fan didn't want to be acquainted with him. He just glanced at him and looked away.

Ning Yizhou noticed from the corner of his eye that his ancestor was no longer looking at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he cursed the friend who insisted on calling him over. If it was not an emergency, he would definitely be beaten!

Ning Fan didn't have any idea about not going to see her friends, as long as he didn't let him wait too long and lose patience.

But fortunately, it was exactly as he said. Not long after the U-turn, he stopped in a park parking lot.

Looking at the deserted environment around him, Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys made an appointment here to meet?"

Ning Yizhou also looked confused, "I don't know, he just sent me a seat, and I followed him, but what does this guy mean by asking me to meet him in the park? Could it be that he likes an old square dancer?" Madam?"

Listening to his casual thoughts, Ning Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get down quickly."

Ning Yizhou still remembered what happened just now and was afraid that his ancestor would be angry, so he quickly jumped out of the car.

After taking two steps, he remembered something, turned back and knocked on Ning Fan's car window.

The car window slowly lowered, revealing Ning Fan's slightly impatient eyes, "What's the matter?"

Ning Yizhou smiled flatteringly, "I don't know what happened to that boy, and I don't know how long it will take, but I will definitely come back as soon as possible and will call you if I need anything."

Ning Fan said calmly, "Well, kneel down."

Ning Yizhou: "...cha."

Looking at Ning Yizhou's leaving figure, Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh.

She sat in the car for a few minutes, and suddenly felt a little bored, so she got out of the car and stood beside it for a while.

She looked at the surrounding scenery and found that although it was a park parking lot, it looked abandoned for a while. There were only a few scattered cars parked there, and it looked like they had been parked for a long time.

Meeting Yuning Yizhou in a place like this didn't seem to fit the style of these Internet dandies at all.

Ning Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong here.

She walked around, but after looking around, she realized that this was indeed just an ordinary park.

This strange feeling...maybe it's just her illusion.

Thinking of this, she returned to her original location, but as soon as she returned, she discovered that the parking lot was a little different from before.

There seemed to be one more car than before, and she looked at the car that had just parked in.

Although I couldn't see clearly what was inside the car, I could still see it vaguely.

There was a person sitting in the car.

Ning Fan and the people in the car looked at each other for a few seconds. The car door suddenly opened and a person stepped out.

Seeing the person getting off the car, Ning Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise, but did not step forward or speak, and just watched him walk in front of her.

"What a coincidence, we can meet you here."

Ning Fan looked at the man in front of him with surprise shining in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"What a coincidence. Why are you here?"

This topic seemed to remind him of something. He scratched his hair helplessly, and then sighed, "I have an event in the mall nearby, but the fans were a little excited and kept chasing us. I had no choice but to come here to take shelter from the wind." head."

This answer made Ning Fan feel a little strange. Since he would leave directly if he got rid of the fans, why did he come here first?

But she didn't continue to ask.

However, she had always thought it was strange here, but when she saw Qin Song appear, the strangeness disappeared.

A feeling came up,

Right, this is the correct configuration.

Although Ning Fan thought a lot in his heart, he still didn't show anything on his face.

She nodded, "That's right, we happened to be here."

Qin Song was a little surprised and looked around, "You guys?"

Ning Fan smiled lightly and said, "Ah, he talked to a friend about something and will be back soon."

Qin Song's eyes flashed with disapproval several times, and he blurted out, "How could Yi Zhou do this and let you wait here alone."

Hearing this, Ning Fan chuckled lightly.

This made Qin Song's voice suddenly stop, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Ning Fan put away his smile and shook his head, "No."

"Don't you still have something to do? Is it okay to stay here?"

Qin Song was about to say something, but was choked back by Ning Fan's words.

"Ah, it doesn't matter to me. I'll wait here with you for a while. Although this place is not a wilderness, there are relatively few people after all, so I still feel a little unsafe."

Looking at his sincere eyes, Ning Fan raised her eyebrows and said without saying anything, "Okay."

Qin Song didn't say anything else, just stood next to Ning Fan and waited with her.

If he was just guessing before, she was already sure after what she said just now.

Qin Song came here for him.

She was worried that she didn't have time to look for him, but he came to her door himself.

She wanted to see what Qin Song wanted to do.

Ning Fan pretended not to notice anything, and just chatted with Qin Song.

Suddenly, her eyes suddenly darkened, and the voice she was chatting with Qin Song stopped.

Just now, she noticed a familiar force coming from behind her.

This power should have the same origin as mine, but it's not the same.

"Miss Ning, what's wrong with you?"

The voice in her ears became closer from far away. When she came back to her senses and looked up, she saw Qin Song's slightly worried eyes.

Ning Fan adjusted his expression instantly, "It's okay."

She continued chatting with Qin Song as if she hadn't discovered anything.

The familiar force behind him is getting closer and closer.
-

On the other side, Ning Yizhou called a friend after getting off the car, but no one answered.

He continued to move forward based on the location, but after going around a circle, he still couldn't find it.

After walking for a long time, I didn't even see anyone. I could only see a bare and broken rockery.

Ning Yizhou's patience gradually ran out, and he kicked the gravel on the ground hard.

"This kid is not kidding me!"

Just as I was thinking this, a phone call came in.

It was the friend who asked him out.

Ning Yizhou quickly picked up, "You kid..."

Before he could finish his words, his friend apologized profusely. "Sorry, sorry, I just had something to do and I didn't notice my phone. Have you arrived at the rockery?"

Ning Yizhou gritted his teeth and said, "I'm right here at the rockery."

After saying that, I heard a voice coming from behind, "Ah, I saw you!"

As he finished speaking, a young man of about twenty years old ran behind him.

The moment he saw Ning Yizhou, he clasped his hands together and said, "Brother Zhou, don't be angry. Don't be angry. I really have something to do."

Ning Yizhou glanced at the time and saw that he had already been delayed for more than ten minutes. If he waited a little longer, his ancestor would be impatient.

He said angrily, "What's going on?"

The young man sighed, "Brother Zhou, it's really hard to find what you want. I've searched all the people I know..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Yizhou.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what do I want?"

The young man was stunned by these words, "Ah? Didn't you ask me to find a piece of glass for your ancestor?"

Ning Yizhou frowned, "What's this mess? I haven't looked for you?"

The young man was even more confused. He scratched his head and said, "No, you're not..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Yizhou completely lost his patience, "I haven't looked for you anyway."

"Since there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Although the young man didn't understand what was going on, looking at Ning Yizhou's face he didn't dare to stop him and asked, so he could only watch him leave quickly.

Knowing that Ning Yizhou was completely invisible, he took out his phone and looked through the chat history with Ning Yizhou.

Just a few days ago, Ning Yizhou sent him a WeChat message in the early morning.

[Help me find a good piece of glass. I want to give it as a gift to my ancestors. 】

Seeing this WeChat message, he scratched his head in confusion.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't Brother Zhou send me a WeChat message himself? Did he drink that night?"

"Forget it, let's ask again in a few days."

The young man muttered a few words to himself and left the park.

Ning Yizhou walked quickly towards the parking lot. As he walked, he was thinking whether he should punch himself twice or kneel down and admit his mistake?

Before he could decide whether to beat himself up or kneel down, he returned to the parking lot.

However, as soon as he walked into his car, he found that there was no one in the car.

He quickly looked around again.

There was no one in the entire parking lot.

Ning Yizhou was completely stunned.

Where did his great ancestor go? ? ?
