"Hehe, little girl, let's go, when I hand you over to the employer, I can get a high honorarium, it seems that I can rest for a long time, think about doing this business for many years, it's time to retire, think about being a painter is not bad, this will be my last vote, in order to show my gratitude to you, I will pray for you." The old man chuckled, put Tang Xiaoxiao into a sack, and prepared to leave.

The old man dragged the sack to the window, then tied it with a rope, and prepared to leave through the window, just as the old man was about to leave, there was a knock at the door, the old man frowned, and his face became heavy.

For the sake of safety, the old man hid the sack, and after it was cleaned up, he walked towards the door, opened it and saw that there was a young man standing in front of him, this young man was Xiao Chen, the old man was very unfamiliar with Xiao Chen, so he looked at each other cautiously.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" said the old man, in a deep voice, looking very cautious.

"Hehe, I heard that you are a very good painter, and I recently wanted to find someone to paint a picture for me, but I couldn't find a suitable one, so I came to you with a friend tonight, so I came to look for you. Xiao Chen smiled, his voice soft.

"Oh, I see, I've only been concerned about painting, I don't know much about things outside, I didn't expect someone to come to me, it seems that this is my honor. The old man said softly, changing into a kind smile.

"There are many disturbances, and I still look at Haihan, hoping that the master can fulfill me and paint a picture for me. Xiao Chen said sincerely, looking at each other with his eyes.

The old man showed a hint of embarrassment, he was about to leave, taking Tang Xiaoxiao to get a high honorarium, but he didn't know that such a thing would happen, someone would come to him to paint, and many thoughts flashed in his mind at once.

"Do you want to knock him unconscious, or refuse directly, or paint a portrait of him?" the old man said to himself.

Xiao Chen sneered in his heart, he hadn't seen Tang Xiaoxiao yet, so he didn't make a move, for fear that there were other people inside, for fear of startling the grass and causing Tang Xiaoxiao to be hurt, this was not what he wanted to see, so he had to stabilize the other party first, and then understand the situation inside before making a decision.

"Master, I know it will be a little offensive to you, but I really want to have a portrait of myself, and I beg you to fulfill it. Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, since you are so sincere, then I will draw one for you, come in first. The old man finally agreed to Xiao Chen, as for why, he couldn't say clearly, maybe because he felt that Xiao Chen posed no threat to him, or maybe because he was about to change careers.

Xiao Chen walked into the room and quickly looked around, the room was full of things about painting, and he didn't see Tang Xiaoxiao.

"Could it be that I feel wrong, Xiaoxiao is not here, or has already left?" Xiao Chen said secretly in his heart, but he still decided to take a look at the situation first, after all, the old man was the last to see Tang Xiaoxiao.

"There are so many works by the masters, and each one is very beautiful, and it makes people feel a sense of vitality. Xiao Chen praised.

"Hehe, it's over, these are just essays, not exquisite. The old man shook his head.

"Alright, you stand in that place, get in a pose, and we'll get started. The old man said to Xiao Chen.

For the old man, it doesn't take long to draw a portrait of someone, ten minutes is enough, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to agree to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen followed the old man's instructions and posed.

After the old man made an OK gesture, he started, and Xiao Chen took this opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding situation, but as before, he didn't find anything suspicious.

"Master, I've heard others say that you sometimes invite others to be your painting model?" Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Hehe, this is a common problem of painters, sometimes when they see beautiful things, they always want to preserve this beauty, and then let more people appreciate this beauty. The old man chuckled, and quickly moved his paintbrush on the paper.

"Tonight, I'm the first to find a master to paint, right?" Xiao Chen smiled and tested the other party.

"Before you, I had already painted for someone else, so you should be the second. The old man said softly, not knowing that Xiao Chen was testing him.

"It seems that someone is faster than me, and I think the other party must be a woman. Xiao Chen continued to test and put on a relaxed look.

The old man's hand holding the paintbrush suddenly stopped, his face turned sideways, and it quickly recovered, the process of this change was very short, but Xiao Chen saw it all in his eyes, and he was more sure of the thoughts in his heart.

"It's indeed a woman, I didn't expect your guess to be quite accurate. The old man said lightly, but there was a hint of caution in his tone.

"Hehe, I'm just guessing. Xiao Chen said with a smile.

The old man did not relax because of this, and he would not relax if he did not think it was safe, not only for the honorarium, but also for his own safety.

After a few minutes, the old man stopped his pen and said to Xiao Chen: "It's done, I don't know if you're satisfied."

Xiao Chen looked at the portrait, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's really good, it is worthy of being from the master, I am very satisfied."

"It's good if you're satisfied, this will be my first meeting gift to you, it's not too early now, I should go back, otherwise my wife and children will be in a hurry." The old man said to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's eyes froze, and he saw that the old man's hands had a lot of calluses, especially the palms between his thumb and index finger were covered with calluses, which was caused by holding a cold weapon for a long time, and Xiao Chen sensed a dangerous aura.

"It's a killer. This was Xiao Chen's first thought, the enemy started to act again, and almost let the other party succeed.

"What's the matter, is there anything else you have to do?" The old man asked out loud when he saw that Xiao Chen was still standing in the same place, and at the same time narrowed his eyes, looked at Xiao Chen carefully, looked at the other party cautiously, and was ready to kill the other party.

Xiao Chen sensed the murderous aura emitted by the other party, but he didn't care, now he had determined that there was only the old man and Tang Xiaoxiao who was hidden in the room, and there was only one person, which was more beneficial to Xiao Chen.

"Master, look, there's something wrong here. Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, holding the painting and walking towards the old man, while preparing for battle.

"Don't come here yet, put it there first, maybe I was in a trance just now, so the painting was flawed, I'll paint you again one day, I'm a little tired tonight." The old man said cautiously and did not let Xiao Chen approach.

As a killer for many years, he sensed a dangerous aura coming towards him at that moment just now, for the sake of safety, he was alert by nature and immediately spoke out to stop Xiao Chen from approaching, wanting to leave here as soon as possible.
