Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Do you think Qiao Xi doesn’t have any background?” Liang Pingchuan sneered. “Yi Cang, listen carefully. Qiao Xi is my and Senior’s final apprentice!”
The entire venue fell silent for a few seconds.
Everyone could tell that Liang Pingchuan and Qiao Xi had a deep relationship, but they did not know that the two of them were actually master and apprentice. They heard that Liang Pingchuan never took in apprentices from the outside world, and his apprentices had always been very mysterious.
Shang Jing’s entire body trembled as he abruptly raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. At this moment, she was lazily leaning against the wall. Her cold and stunning face was filled with indifference, and she did not reveal the slightest emotion.
He never expected that Qiao Xi was actually the disciple of Liang Pingchuan and his senior. Liang Pingchuan was already at the peak of the art circle. Although his senior had never shown his face, Liang Pingchuan would occasionally show his senior’s works. That senior was good at oil paintings, and every one of his works could be said to be perfect.
Qiao Xi was actually the disciple of these two seniors?
When Lu Muxue heard this, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She had already lost the ability to think. Her lips were pale and trembling slightly.
She had been learning calligraphy since she was young and dreamed of receiving Liang Pingchuan’s guidance. However, she had never seen Mr. Liang before this. What right did an amateur like Qiao Xi have to be Mr. Liang’s apprentice?
Shang Jing stood on the spot in a daze. If Qiao Xi was really Liang Pingchuan’s apprentice, then it made sense that she could write such perfect works. However, he kept having the feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he had an idea. His sharp eyes hurriedly searched below the stage.
That’s right! It was Lu Muxue! She was behind this!
Lu Muxue met Shang Jing’s questioning eyes and hurriedly lowered her head guiltily. Her eyes were filled with panic.
Liang Pingchuan glanced at the few of them coldly and sneered. “If Qiao Xi wasn’t my student, she would’ve been wronged by all of you today! Ruining someone’s future is equivalent to destroying their beliefs. This matter absolutely won’t end here. I’ll ask the National Painting and Calligraphy Association to severely punish all of you!”
Hearing this, Yi Cang instantly panicked. He hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Liang Pingchuan’s arm. He explained while trembling, “I was manipulated by someone. Someone deliberately gave this piece to me!”
He could not be punished by the association, or everything he had worked hard for all these years would be ruined. Hence, he had to find a scapegoat. He pointed at Shang Jing and said, “It’s Shang Jing! He was the one who brought the work to me. Also, Lu Muxue was the one who said she wanted to give this calligraphy piece to me. Mr. Liang, I was muddle-headed for a moment and was blinded by greed. I was bewitched by them!”
Lu Muxue’s heart trembled. This old man actually betrayed her!
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes to look at the pale woman in the crowd and sneered.
Yi Cang’s words caused an uproar. The students of Class 1 looked at Lu Muxue and quickly distanced themselves from her, afraid that she would implicate them.
“At the end of the day, it’s still Yi Cang who’s greedy! Even if someone gave him a calligraphy piece, he could just refuse. Can saying that he was bewitched cover up his mistake?”
“Then why did Lu Muxue and Shang Jing get involved in this? Shang Jing has always been fair, so he was invited by the university to be a judge. Lu Muxue is also a goddess in the design department. Why did they join forces to malign Teacher Qiao?”
A few calligraphers who were on good terms with Shang Jing defended him. “Mr. Shang just couldn’t stand seeing anyone cheat, so he did what he did. He’s not selfish.”
“Tsk! Who would believe that he’s not selfish? If he really wanted to investigate the matter clearly, he should’ve told the chancellor as soon as he found out about this. Then, he should’ve discussed with the chancellor how to handle this matter in private to minimize the impact. He shouldn’t have publicly announced this matter at the competition venue and pushed the blame on Qiao Xi, causing her to lose her reputation! He just wanted to use Qiao Xi’s cheating incident to boost his reputation!”
“Lu Muxue must be jealous that Qiao Xi could easily complete a perfect work, so she deliberately instigated Shang Jing to accuse her of cheating in public!”
“That’s right! If Qiao Xi had participated in the competition, she would definitely have gotten first place. Lu Muxue, who has been learning calligraphy for more than 10 years, would’ve lost to Qiao Xi in the end. She definitely felt upset about it, so she planned all of this!”
“Teacher Qiao is really awesome. Not only is she an international designer, but she also knows oil painting and calligraphy. Most importantly, she’s beautiful. Did she save the world in her previous life?”
