Early the next morning, there was a big news in the city of the vernal equinox:

The two subordinates who painted the bamboo prince, one was as beautiful as a flower, and the other wore a mask all day long. In order to prove who is the most powerful subordinate of the Painted Bamboo Prince, the two started a fierce battle, and the two took the night equinox city as their battlefield, after all, there were no people in the night equinox city. But there is a place where there is an open fire all night in the spring equinox city, that is, the eight alleys of the spring equinox city, and the two of them went there with a fight, causing a wave of chaos, but fortunately, the prince of the bamboo painting arrived later to stop it. The loss caused this time was personally compensated by the prince of the painted bamboo.

"Look, isn't that pretty good?"

In a private room in a restaurant near the square, Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei sat in it, both of them felt a little uncomfortable crowded near the stage that day, so they chose to watch in the restaurant now.

Both of them were holding tabloids in the restaurant for customers to read, which also reported what happened in Bada Hutong the night before. Of course, this thing has been embellished into another thing.

"You are said to be one of his subordinates, or are you making trouble for something like robbing the best subordinate......" Qin Yunfei looked at the small report.

Lu Shuangyang shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "His subordinates are called Yue Feiyang, Yue Feiyang wants to compete for the best subordinate, what does it have to do with me Lu Shuangyang?"

Qin Yunfei rolled his eyes slightly, of course he knew that Lu Shuangyang's name to Huazhu was Yue Feiyang, but aren't Yue Feiyang and you Lu Shuangyang the same person? According to what Lu Shuangyang said just now, Lu Shuangyang and Yue Feiyang are two people...... That sounds a little weird.

In a private room in another restaurant, there was a middle-aged man with a somewhat fierce face and a man wearing a light veil.

These two people are the two altar masters of the heavenly thieves, the middle-aged man is the master of the knife altar, and the one wearing a light veil is naturally the whip altar master whose face was soiled by the bamboo painting the night before.

Both of them saw today's tabloids, and the master of the knife altar read it with relish, while the owner of the whip altar looked at it with a fierce light on his face, and finally even tore the entire newspaper to shreds......

"Hey, don't be so angry!" The master of the sword altar forced a smile to persuade the master of the whip altar, he was really afraid that the master of the whip altar would go out and kill the Quartet and smash the painting immortal competition.

"How did the old lady become your subordinate! With your little strength, it's useless for you to be my subordinate, I still dislike you!" Although the whip altar master is usually not very quiet, he will not be as irritable as he is now, and even the self-proclaimed "old lady" has been said, it seems that she is really very angry about this incident, and she will not calm down for a while.

"Alas...... You can't mess with anyone...... "Although it is the first time for the master of the sword altar to see the master of the whip altar like this, this time it is enough to make him afraid, and if he is hated by this woman, he will definitely usher in a lot of trouble, and he is really silent in his heart for the prince of the bamboo painting."

......

It was dawn, and as usual, it was still drizzling in the city of the equinox.

"Hey, did you go to the polls?"

"Of course I did!"

"Which one did you vote for?"

"I voted for a practitioner. ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? All the paintings are called cultivators. ”

"And which one did you vote for?"

"A picture of a practitioner. ”

"Don't you say the same thing I do?"

"I can't help it! I voted, but I don't know how to describe the painting I voted for. ”

Off the stage, the audience was talking, after all, the result of this competition was voted by them, so everyone was talking about who they voted for.

"You've been waiting for a long time!"

As before, a sudden sound quieted the otherwise noisy audience.

A person walked out of the competition committee building, and the person who came was Chunyan, the host a few days ago, and this time the host was still him.

"I'm still the host of this conference, Chunyan!" Chunyan bowed slightly.

"After three days of fierce voting, the contestants who finally entered the final round of the Painting Immortal Contest have been elected, and you must be very curious to know if the painting you like and its author have entered this round...... "Chunyan looks like a veteran host.

"Stop talking so much nonsense!

"Yes! Announce the results! I can't wait!"

"Ahem......" In the face of the crowd's voice, the host Chunyan was also a little embarrassed, "Since you are so anxious, I won't talk nonsense anymore! ”

Chunyan began to announce the finalists one by one, and with each announcement of the name of a player, a player with the corresponding name would come out of the committee building, and next to the player, a staff member would push their corresponding painting and walk out.

"Oh my God! I voted for the painting, and it made the cut!"

"It turns out that the author of the painting I voted for is this person!"

"Why haven't you seen the one I voted for, it can't be that you didn't make the cut!"

As the finalists came out one by one, the audience in the audience became more and more excited...... Among those who were promoted, Chen Feifei and Ren Qiu were naturally among them.

"It's a little painting fairy, it turns out that the portrait I voted for was painted by a little painting fairy!"

"No wonder the painting is so good, it turns out that the painting was painted by the little painting fairy!"

"Ren Qiu......" Lu Shuangyang looked at Ren Qiu from a distance, Ren Qiu, that guy, is he still so unenergetic?

"Are you worried about Ren Qiu?" Qin Yunfei seemed to see through Lu Shuangyang's thoughts.

Lu Shuangyang said: "Although this incident is something that his mother hired to hire those thieves in order for him to win the championship. But he didn't know about it...... He would be very sad to know that his mother had done such a thing. ”

"As long as the game goes on and there are no problems, then he won't know that his mom did something like this. Qin Yunfei said lightly.

Lu Shuangyang nodded, indeed, as long as nothing happened again, Ren Qiu didn't need to know what his mother had done.

However, although he stopped the action of the whip altar master last night, the Immortal Painting Contest is not over yet, and the Heavenly Thieves will definitely have follow-up methods.

......

"These are our ten finalists, I wonder if any of them have you chosen the painting?" asked Chunyan.

"Oh my God, it's a shame that the painting I voted for didn't make the cut. ”

"It's great that the painting I chose made the cut. ”

"The painting I chose is a painting of Immortal Renqiu, and my vision is really good. ”

For this result, although everyone discussed, but there was no objection, after all, the level of people who came to participate in the painting fairy competition was very high, and the competition naturally won and lost!

"Now that we've got to know the finalists, now we've got our judges!"

It was the judges who came out of the committee building, and the only thing that was a little different was the appearance of a man with a bandage on his face.

"That guy who painted bamboo...... How did you come up with such a line...... "Lu Shuangyang was a little speechless, obviously he just made some band-aids or something like that last night, but now he wants to make it look like this.

"Is that the Painted Bamboo Prince?"

"I guess so, even that outfit hasn't changed. ”

"What's wrong with painting the bamboo prince? Why is his face covered with gauze......"

"Is this disfigurement?"

In this regard, the female audience under the stage is also talking a lot, and they are more concerned about what is going on with their male god painting the bamboo prince than paying attention to the painting fairy competition.

"I'll explain that!" Chunyan looked at the female fans who were talking, "The night before, the two subordinates of the Painted Bamboo Emperor fought in order to fight for a high level, and the Painted Bamboo Emperor went to stop it, but accidentally injured the face of the Painted Bamboo Prince!"

"No, what's the matter!"

"Those subordinates should be punished well!"

"The Painted Bamboo Prince won't be disfigured like this, he can't be recovered!"

Those female fans are all in tears, and you can imagine how much status the painting bamboo prince has in their hearts.

"Don't worry!" Chunyan explained, "We have already asked the best doctor to show the prince, and we have also given him the best medicine, and he will be able to recover in a few days!"

"That's good!"

The female fans also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone pressed in their hearts had been put down.

He didn't speak, but he bowed politely to everyone and sat down.

Lu Shuangyang looked at the painted bamboo with gauze wrapped around his face, and felt a little disobedient in his heart, but he didn't understand what was going on.

"You actually hurt the prince like this, I remember that this prince was quite handsome before. The master of the sword altar looked at the painting bamboo prince and said.

"Hehe," the Whip Altar Master looked at Huazhu coldly, "This time I just cut his face, if that guy touches me again in the future, I will definitely not just cut his face." ”

Although the owner of the whip altar is very unhappy with painting bamboo, she should be gloating about painting bamboo bandaged like this, but looking at the gauze on his face, he still feels a little strange, he did scratch a lot of wounds on his face last night, but those injuries are not deep, and there should be no need to bandage it like this.

"Now that the judges and contestants are here, let's prepare for this final round of the competition!"

All 10 contestants were in their respective positions, but this time there was no ink in the preparation position, except for paper and brushes.

Just when the contestants were puzzled, Chunyan said: "I guess everyone is wondering why we didn't prepare ink this time! Don't worry, ask our staff to send our ink now!"

Ten staff members emerged from the committee building, each holding a small basin the size of a palm in his hand, which contained almost the exact same amount of ink.

When the ink was delivered to the contestants' drawing tables, all the contestants were taken aback, because there was so little ink on the plate that it was difficult to draw a picture with only this bit of ink.

"How can I paint a picture with just a little ink, is this making it difficult for me?" said one of the contestants.

Chunyan said calmly: "Don't worry about this contestant! ”

"Ahem," Chun Yan cleared his throat, "As an excellent painting, if he wants to paint an excellent painting, he should not be limited by the painting materials, even if there is less ink, a real painting fairy can use these limited inks to paint a really good painting, so the rule of this last round is to use these limited inks to paint a painting that you think is the best." ”

Hearing this request, all the contestants, including Chen Feifei and Ren Qiu, frowned, although the content of the painting is to draw casually, but with only such a little ink, how can they really paint casually?

"There is no time requirement for this painting, so please take your time...... No, it's hard for you to delay your time if you don't draw all the time, so please do so today," Haruyan continued, "Okay, you can start drawing." ”

Although Chunyan had already said that he could start writing, none of the ten contestants had started to write, after all, there was too little ink, and it was a bit difficult to draw a good painting with limited ink...... No, it's hard.

"Really smart people will draw slowly. Qin Yunfei said lightly.

"Indeed," Lu Shuangyang also nodded, "because this drizzle will fall on the plate containing the ink, although this will make the ink a little thinner, but the total amount of ink will increase, so that more ink can be painted." ”

This is a very simple truth, but the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei, who are bystanders, can easily think of such a truth, but those contestants can't think of so many things in these things.

They were all agonizing over what to paint at the moment, and although the drizzle was already adding ink to them, they didn't notice......

But there were still exceptions who noticed, that is, Chen Feifei and Ren Qiu, they glanced at the small plate containing ink, saw the ripples splashed by the rain falling into it, and immediately thought of the total amount of ink that Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei thought of, through the rain.

Both of them sat directly on the prepared chairs, closed their eyes, and began to think about what to draw.

After a while, one of the contestants finally picked up the brush and started to paint, and in his opinion, instead of thinking all the time, it is better to start the pen quickly and draw whatever comes to mind, so that he may be able to get better results.

"What do you think of this first writer?" Lu Shuangyang asked Qin Yunfei.

Qin Yunfei shook his head: "When painting, you have to be calm, he is in such a hurry to start, I'm afraid there won't be any good results." ”

Lu Shuangyang nodded, he also had the same idea, he was too anxious when painting, and he couldn't paint excellent works.

Lu Shuangyang didn't pay attention to the contestants on the stage, he turned his head to look at the painted bamboo with gauze wrapped around his face in the judges' seat.

"Why do you keep looking at the painted bamboo??" Qin Yunfei noticed that Lu Shuangyang had been looking in the direction of the painted bamboo, and asked suspiciously.

"I think today's bamboo painting is a bit strange, it gives me a sense of disobedience, but I can't tell what it is. "Road Shuangyang Road.

"Maybe it's because he has gauze wrapped around his face that makes you feel a little weird?" Qin Yunfei said.

Lu Shuangyang shook his head, by no means because of this, Lu Shuangyang stood up: "Anyway, with the current situation, Chen Feifei and Ren Qiu will not be able to write for a while, I will go and walk around." ”

"I'll go with you. Qin Yunfei also stood up.

"I'm not going to do bad things, why are you following me?" Lu Shuangyang asked.

Qin Yunfei said calmly: "Since you are not going to do bad things, why don't you let me follow, or did you go to Bada Hutong last night to meet a beautiful girl, and you were busy fighting last night and didn't see each other, so you deliberately ran to meet at this time." ”

"Okay, okay, just follow it...... Lu Shuangyang really didn't want Qin Yunfei to mention the Eight Hutongs...... Lu Shuangyang thought, Qin Yunfei, as a princess, would definitely not want her friends and the like to go to Fengyue places like Bada Hutong.

......

At the back door of the committee, a young man wearing a mask walked out of the back door, he looked around, there was no one, and he was also relieved and walked out a few steps.

"Hey, Painted Bamboo, what are you doing here secretly?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, startling the man in the mask, and then he immediately covered his face with his hand and said in a deep voice: "I'm not painting the bamboo prince, painting the bamboo prince on the stage in front." ”

"Come on, don't pretend, it's me. The masked man was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw a familiar face looking him up and down, "It's you, Yue Feiyang, don't scare me!"

"Where are you going?"

Huazhu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when another woman came from behind him, and he hurriedly looked back, but what he saw was a cold and beautiful face.

"Are you ......" Huazhu thought for a moment, "I know you, Princess Qin Yunfei, the princess of the Qinxue Empire, right?"

"Oh, you've seen it before?" Lu Shuangyang was puzzled, Qin Yunfei seemed to say that the two of them hadn't seen each other before.

Huazhu said politely: "We really haven't met, but Princess Qin Yunfei is one of the masters of the younger generation of the second order, and I have also sent people to collect information and draw portraits, so it is the same as in the portrait...... No, I'm prettier. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Qin Yunfei said plainly.

Huazhu looked at Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei, who were alias Yue Feiyang, and said with a little surprise: "The two of you know each other? Wait, I remember that some time ago there was a news from the Shuqing Empire that Princess Qin Yunfei was in love with a nameless boy, and that person was wearing a smiley mask...... Speaking of which, Brother Feiyang, you are also wearing a smiley mask, could it be ......?"

"Stop......" Lu Shuangyang immediately stopped Huazhu from continuing, it would be a little embarrassing if he continued, "We have a lot of things happening on the side of the Shuqing Empire, let's not talk about this first, let's talk about what is going on with you first!"

At this time, Chen Feifei was dressed in civilian clothes worn by ordinary people, plus he wore a mask, and there was a "Bamboo Prince" on the stage, who would have thought that this person in front of him was the Bamboo Prince?

"Because of this. The Painted Bamboo Prince took out an object, "You've seen it." ”

"This isn't the bell space bracelet, it contains those ......" Lu Shuangyang just wanted to say something, and then remembered that Qin Yunfei was on the side, "Anyway, isn't this the space bracelet that was painted before?

"Although we have broken the confinement on the space bracelet, there is still a trace of the original owner's mystery on it, that is, the mystery of the whip altar master. ”

"So what?"

Huazhu took out another thing, something like a compass, the surface was sealed with a transparent lid, and there was a very thin needle inside.

"What is this?"

"Searching for the spirit treasure, right?" Qin Yunfei is well-informed, and has seen this thing in the classics before.

"That's right, it's the search for the spiritual treasure. He placed the bell on the surface of the lid, and the needle inside spun as if it had been stimulated by something.

This means that the owner of that mysterious aura is nearby. Qin Yunfei said lightly.

"That's right," Painted Bamboo nodded, "As long as we have this thing, we can find the original owner of this space bracelet, the Whip Altar Master." ”

Lu Shuangyang rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you take out such a good thing last night, we can find it last night, why do you want to be a judge on the stage at this time, but you found a stand-in with a gauze covering your face to replace you." ”

"There's no way, my Soul Treasure is a little damaged, and it can only react when the target person is close to a certain distance. Drawing Bamboo shook his head, "We can't look everywhere in the entire Equinox City, so we can only find her when she comes to the neighborhood when the Immortal Painting Contest starts." ”

"After finding her, what do you want, fight with her? Now is the time when the Drawing Immortal Contest is going on, and if there is a conflict at this time, then it is very likely that the Drawing Immortal Contest will not be able to continue.

"I have my own thoughts, don't worry, I'll go back," Huazhu walked a few steps forward, and then looked back at Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei, "Do you want to go with me to have a look?"

Lu Shuangyang and Qin Yunfei glanced at each other, feeling that it would be too dangerous to just let Huazhu go alone, and after thinking for a while, the two quickly followed Huazhu.

......

In the private room where the master of the knife altar and the master of the whip altar were located, looking at the stage where the competition had begun, the master of the whip altar asked, "Is everything arranged?"

The sword altar master nodded: "It's arranged." ”

"This is our last chance for this commission, and success must be ensured. ”

"It will definitely work, and besides, the client also introduced us to a helper, and with him, it will definitely be successful. ”

"What kind of helper?"

"We'll talk about it later, now, we're going to greet the guests!"
