I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

The young woman next to me looked at the phantom of the ancient tree and exclaimed in amazement:

"Senior Sister Su, no wonder you're so fond of him, Senior Brother Cheng is truly amazing!"

"Uh-huh."

Su Chan'er covered her face and smiled sweetly, her eyes almost turning into hearts.

"But I never expected him to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve..."

The two girls, upon hearing this, became somewhat anxious and looked intently at Su Chan'er:

"Senior sister, how can you be so oblivious to potential dangers! Senior Brother Cheng is so outstanding, what if another woman beats him to it?"

Su Chan'er shook her head and raised her slender fingers:

"It's okay, we can just remove the manicure..."

The girls: "???"

......

At the table, Cheng Ran slowly opened her eyes, breaking out of her trance.

Immediately, he saw his masterpiece, which had earned him a hundred points, and the phantom image of the ancient tree in the air...

Cheng Ran could understand the exquisite nature of the painting, but the illusory image left him completely bewildered:

"What's going on?"

"This phantom... it looks a bit like the legendary Jade Pool Mother Tree..."

"Why did my attempt to show off produce such special effects?"

"Young friend Cheng, there's no need to worry."

At this moment, several Yaochi stewards slowly walked over, their eyes full of admiration.

To be honest, if it weren't for their age, they would have liked to become Daoist partners with this young man in front of them!

After staring at Cheng Ran's handsome face for a long time, the person in charge finally spoke up to explain:

"These sheets of Xuan paper contain a trace of the Daoist essence of my sacred Mother Tree. It is precisely because of this that they can sense the life force of cultivators and spontaneously form paintings."

"It's just that Young Friend Cheng's life force is too powerful, resonating with the Dao rhythm of the mother tree, which is why this strange phenomenon occurred."

"I see."

Cheng Ran nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

In short, he overused his cheat codes.

However, Cheng Ran couldn't help but feel excited when she thought that all her cheat codes were stolen from Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's luck is truly amazing...

Ye Chen's woman is also...

Especially in front of Ye Chen, using his opportunity and the woman...

Ahem, quickly gathering his scattered thoughts, Cheng Ran looked at the steward before him and respectfully asked:

"So, ladies, how do you think of my painting?"

The female deacons smiled, covering their faces, and one of them said softly:

"This painting, its artistry is comparable to that of the Holy Maiden of our Holy Land; it cannot be merely well-painted. It is the crown jewel of all the paintings of today!"

Cheng Ran wasn't surprised to hear this. With the competition going like this, it would be unreasonable not to win. He shrugged and smiled.

"You flatter me, ladies. I was just lucky."

The deacons laughed even harder upon hearing this.

Cheng Ran, that handsome young man, is so modest! He's so capable, yet he only says it's luck.

I love it so much!

Unlike Ye Chen, who is only slightly capable but pretends it's all just luck.

They're really going all out!!

however.

Just then.

"How dare this bastard win? I, Ye Chen, refuse to accept this!"

Ye Chen suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, pointing two fingers directly at Cheng Ran's nose, and said in a loud voice.

His once resolute gaze now held a fury that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

He's very unhappy right now.

Okay, okay...

It's one thing to steal my Yunxi sister and fairy sister.

Today, they actually dared to steal my chance to show off!

It’s so deceiving!

Ye Chen could not accept the fact that he had been defeated by Cheng Ran, or rather, he did not feel that he had lost at all!

A tattered painting, a broken tree!

Is it really necessary to shock these women to this extent?!

He then turned to the deacons and began to ramble on:

"I admit that Cheng Ran's paintings are indeed quite skillful, capable of triggering extraordinary phenomena, but that doesn't mean he's the leader!"

"My sisters say he paints well, but they're just intimidated by that strange phenomenon! In terms of artistic conception, my painting might not be inferior to his!"

The words fell.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The female cultivators from Yaochi Holy Land all turned to look at Ye Chen, their expressions strange.

No?

What is this child saying?

It's just a loss, why are you so upset?

A straightforward female cultivator immediately muttered, "Senior Brother Cheng's painting... is clearly better than yours."

"Exactly, and the artistic conception is also more profound." Another person immediately chimed in.

Su Chan'er also looked at Ye Chen and said rather tactfully:

"Junior Brother Ye, we can both judge the quality of a painting. In terms of both brushwork and spirit, Senior Brother Cheng's painting far surpasses yours."

"Far superior? On what basis!"

Ye Chen clenched his fists and said utterly unreasonable:

"This is merely your subjective preference! There is absolutely no objective evidence! The beauty or ugliness of a painting cannot be defined!"

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

They knew Ye Chen was talking nonsense, but they couldn't find a reason to refute him.

Cheng Ran's lips twitched as he watched Ye Chen, who had lost his composure.

Good guy.

Version T0 is here...

"Why."

He sighed, picked up his painting, and smiled at Ye Chen:

"Since Junior Brother Ye is not satisfied, why don't we take it to our Master for evaluation? You'll surely accept her opinion, right?"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Show it to Master?

Hahaha!

This bastard is just what I wanted!

Master is one of the strongest in the world, and his vision is far superior to those blind female cultivators from Yaochi.

If I were to ask her for her opinion, she would definitely be able to see the subtlety in my painting!

Moreover, Master has never been particularly concerned about Cheng Ran.

Putting aside the painting itself, I would inevitably be somewhat biased towards Ye Chen.

This time, the advantage is on my side!

Thinking this, Ye Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, and he readily agreed:

"Very well! Then please let Master judge!"

......

......

Inside the observation deck.

Gong Yueli was dignified and had a cold expression as she gazed at the illusory figure before her.

"The Jade Pool Mother Tree?"

A hundred years ago, she visited the sacred site of Yaochi and saw this ancient tree that had guarded the sacred site for ten thousand years.

After pondering for a long while, she murmured to herself:

"Perhaps, someone's painting resonated with the ancient tree..."

"However, is the one who triggered this resonance Ye Chen, or that shameless, wicked disciple?"

Gong Yueli was somewhat puzzled.

Of course, she wasn't unable to find out what was happening in the main hall.

With her level of cultivation, she could easily gain insight into things.

just.

She was a little afraid to peek.

What if she discovers that the one who triggered the ancient tree's resonance was a wicked disciple? Wouldn't she explode?

if that's the case.

Not only did he have to secretly tandem with his wicked disciple on the airship...

Furthermore, it requires unlocking a mysterious mechanism...

How could Komiya possibly stand it!

That's why she'd rather leave it as a thought and quietly wait for what happens next.

However, at this very moment...

Suddenly, I heard a light knock on the door.

Gong Yueli immediately resumed her usual aloof and arrogant demeanor:

"Please come in."

The words are over.

She then saw Ye Chen, Cheng Ran, and the female cultivators from Yaochi enter together.

The female cultivators of Yaochi lined up respectfully and bowed to her.

As for Ye Chen and Cheng Ran, they each held a painting and came to her.

"Master!"

Please rate these two paintings and determine which is better!

Ye Chen looked at her with a resolute gaze.

Gong Yueli: ( •́ _ •̀)?

How did I become a judge?
