The next morning, a luxurious dragon horse carriage stopped outside the Li Residence.
At this moment, Li Sheng was leading a pale-faced child slowly towards the dragon-horse carriage outside the door.
A middle-aged man in embroidered clothes suddenly walked out of the door.
"Sheng 'er, where are you going?!" he shouted.”After saying that, she stepped forward and grabbed Li Sheng's left arm, not letting him get into the car.
Li Sheng tried to struggle free from the middle-aged man's grip on his arm, but it was useless.
He rolled his eyes and turned to the middle-aged man,""Dad, I'm going to practice painting.”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately cursed,"Little brat, you only know how to paint. Today, follow me and learn how to do business!”After saying that, the middle-aged man tried to drag Li Sheng through the door.
Feeling his body being dragged into the door by his father, Li Sheng shouted in his heart,""Usually, Dad should still be sleeping. Why is he so crazy today? He woke up so early and even stopped me from learning how to do business? He knows that I'm not cut out for business!”Thinking of this, Li Sheng became anxious. He couldn't break his promise!
Li Sheng pulled his left arm back from his father's grasp with his left hand and said to his father,""Dad, I'm not cut out for business. Today, I've already made an appointment with Miss Yuehong to help her draw a portrait of a beauty. You've always told me that the most important thing in life is honesty.”After saying that, he ignored his father and walked towards the dragon-horse carriage again.
Father Li didn't know what to say as he looked at his son, who was so eager to go and paint. He silently watched Li Sheng and the pale-faced boy board the dragon carriage.
" Old Master, actually Young Master has always been very obedient. You also know the reason why he likes to paint. After all, Madam, she…"
Butler Li Dongming, who was standing beside Li Sheng's father, saw his father's ugly expression and stepped forward to speak up for Li Sheng.
But before Li Dongming could finish, he was interrupted by Father Li. Father Li said,"How could I not know what kind of person my son is? No one knows his son better than his father. How could I not know that he wanted to draw a portrait of Wan Ci so that he could always be by his side? The gathering place of the stubborn disciples of the four great clans!”After saying that, Mr. Li sighed and turned around to walk into the door.
When he reached the door, he stopped and said to himself,"It's getting harder and harder to do business now, and I'm earning less and less. If this goes on, the four great families of Tang County will become the three great families. When will I be able to compare to the Li family of Tianwei City and be qualified to raise my head in front of them?”
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Beginning Spring Pavilion, it stopped. Li Sheng held Guoguo's hand and got off the carriage. He turned around and told the servants to pick him up in six hours. Then, he brought Guoguo into the Beginning Spring Pavilion.
Since the establishment of the Spring Pavilion, business had always been very good. The main reason was that the five top courtesans inside were all as beautiful as fairies. They were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They only sold their skills and not their bodies. Many talented Star Cultivators who liked beautiful women could only stop at their doors. They were unable to endure it.
If you dare to snatch it, hehe, the owner of the Beginning Spring Pavilion is a fourth-order Astral Warrior. You can try and see if he will beat you to death.
However, if they were in love with each other, you could redeem them, get the Pavilion Master's approval, and return with the beauty in your arms. However, such things were pitifully rare. Li Sheng remembered that the last time the top courtesan of Plum Blossom House was redeemed was five years ago.
After entering the pavilion, Li Sheng brought Guoguo directly to the sixth floor of the Peach Blossom House. Along the way, he saw many girls who knew Li Sheng constantly greeting him.
This made many of the talented Star Cultivators who were enjoying themselves in the Beginning Spring Pavilion envious. Some of the talented Star Cultivators who didn't know Li Sheng even began to ask him in a low voice, who was this person?
When the disciples who were familiar with Li Sheng revealed his identity, their eyes showed disdain.
" So you're just a first-order Star Warrior good-for-nothing. You just know how to draw. I'm a second-order Star Warrior, and you can't even take one of my moves. Don't take it to heart.”
Walking to the door of Peach Blossom House, Li Sheng gently knocked on the door. The person inside heard him and asked,""Is this Young Master Li? I've been waiting for a long time.”
Upon hearing the voice, Li Sheng pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he entered, he saw Miss Yue Hong kneeling in front of the zither opposite him. When she saw Li Sheng enter, she stood up and greeted him. Then, she said directly,"Today, I have invited Young Master Li to paint for me.”
"Miss Yuehong, you don't have to be so polite. It is my honor to be able to paint for the courtesan of Peach Blossom House, Miss Yuehong.”After saying that, Li Sheng returned the greeting with a fist salute and then walked into the house.
At this moment, Li Sheng only wanted to paint as soon as possible. He said directly,"May I ask what kind of beauty picture Miss Yuehong wants me to make?”
Listening to Li Sheng's question, Yue Hong gently walked to a window in the Peach Blossom House. Then, she looked out of the window and said with her back to Li Sheng,""Just draw me as you see me now." She turned around and smiled at Li Sheng.
Li Sheng saw her smile and sighed in his heart. The smile of a beauty can topple cities, and the smile of another beauty can topple countries. The ancients really didn't expect me.
Li Sheng led Guoguo to the back of a drawing desk and sat down. He instructed Guoguo to start grinding the ink and picked up the brush on the desk. Li Sheng looked at Miss Yuehong in front of him and started drawing.
As the vivid characters slowly appeared on the Xuan paper, time quickly passed.
Li Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally wrote a poem on the painting. This painting of a beauty leaning against the window took four hours to complete. He looked up at Miss Yue Hong, who was still leaning against the window, and said,""Miss Yuehong has finished drawing. Come and see if you are satisfied.”
When Yue Hong heard Li Sheng's words, she walked over from the window and bent down to look at the painting on the table. On it, a beauty was leaning against the window and looking up at the sky outside the window. The expression in her eyes was extremely lively. The person in the painting was rendered as if she was alive. There was a poem in the upper right corner of the painting. Yue Hong could not help but read it out softly."Peach blossom and jade beauty are all over the world. Star Yuan 21st era, first day of the fourth month, Li Sheng presented Miss Yuehong.”After reading this poem, Miss Yue Hong couldn't help but smile again.
Looking at Miss Yue Hong's smile, Li Sheng thought that she must be satisfied. So he took out the jade seal from his sleeve pocket and dipped it in the red mud on the table, ready to place the seal.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and a person walked in shakily, immediately attracting the attention of the three people in the room.
Li Sheng turned his head to look at the person. When he saw who it was, his pupils constricted and he was shocked. How could it be this guy?
This person was Lin Zichen, who had competed with Li Sheng in the arena yesterday, Third Young Master Lin!
Lin Zichen held a wine jug in his left hand and staggered over to Miss Yuehong. He raised his hand to touch Miss Yuehong's chin, but Li Sheng, who was at the side, immediately cursed,"Bastard, how dare you take advantage of Miss Yuehong.”
His shout immediately caught Lin Zichen's attention. He retracted his hand in mid-air and turned to Li Sheng."Yo, it's you again. I heard that you came downstairs to draw, right? Let me see how your drawing is.”After saying that, he turned around and looked down at the table.
"What rubbish is this?”Looking at the painting that was still drying on the desk, Lin Zichen suddenly waved his right hand.
"How dare you!"
Li Sheng wanted to stop Lin Zichen, but it was too late.
Lin Zichen picked up the inkstone on the table with his right hand and covered it with the picture of a beauty leaning against the window.
In an instant, the ink spread on the painting, and the entire painting instantly became pitch-black. It was obvious that the painting was ruined.
Looking at his ruined painting, Li Sheng, who had always regarded his painting as his life, clenched the seal in his right hand tightly and threw it at Lin Zichen's left face, sending him flying to the right and crashing into the pillar of the house.
Li Sheng kicked the desk in front of him and rushed toward Lin Zichen, who had already stood up. However, he did not consider that Lin Zichen's cultivation was higher than his. He had hit him unexpectedly.
Lin Zichen stood up and exerted his strength. A huge black dog appeared behind him. With a furious expression, he raised his right hand and slapped Li Sheng.
"Sky Howling Strike." The giant dog phantom behind Lin Zichen raised its front paw and pounced at Li Sheng.
Looking at the phantom of the black dog pouncing towards him, Li Sheng summoned his Astral Soul and charged towards it.
"With a flick of the pen!"
A black light instantly crashed into the huge dog.
However, the difference in strength was too great. He flicked the pen and smashed it on the giant dog, but it was completely ineffective. The giant dog pounced on Li Sheng and crashed into his chest.
Puff.
Li Sheng felt a sharp pain coming from his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood into the air, and his entire body crashed backward, directly breaking through the door of the Peach Blossom House and lying on the ground.
However, Lin Zichen had no intention of letting him go. With a red stamp on his face, he strode toward Li Sheng, who was trying to get up.
Then, he raised his right foot and stepped on Li Sheng's back, causing Li Sheng to lie on the ground and unable to move. Then, he said,"How dare you hit me! Trash, I thought I said that if you provoke me again, I'll make you a real cripple.”After saying that, he pressed down hard on Li Sheng, who was trying to get up from under his right foot.
Li Sheng tried to get up from the ground a few times. He tried his best to hold himself up with both hands, but there was a huge difference in strength between him and Lin Zichen. Lin Zichen's pressure worsened his injuries, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
Blood dyed the ground red, but no one noticed that the blood on the ground spread along the ground and seeped into his clothes. It dyed the book-shaped pendant that he had worn around his neck since he was young.
