83 Gathering, Organizing and Finalizing Thoughts (1/2)

The participant named Guan Yuan from the middle-tier Xiu Empire said, ”Brother Meng, do you thinkyou can win the match this time? Or at least, place second or third.” They were preparing their tools to be used before going into painting. Once the clock ticks, there would be no chance of changing things again as per the rule clearly said it.

Brother Meng from the middle-tier Kashco Empire answered helplessly, ”That seems pretty impossible for the current me right now. I'm sure that Hua Hengyun of Tyy Empire and Dunggo Shi from the Gu Empire will be the one matching this time. Just like the last time, they were always the one who were being used as the participants. Could not be blamed them though. After all, they were the geniuses and the best saplings of the two Painting Guilds.”

Guan Yuan sighed, ”Hais.. Seems like even the format was changed, the participants with the highest possibility of winning were still actually the same. Such a pity. We are just here to add up to the numbers.”

”You cannot say it that way.” Brother Meng said, ”Although what you said is true, you should not put it that way. After all, we are still from Painting Guilds with high standings in the society. Besides, we being here is also an act of giving face to the Museum Masters. After all, everyone who was involved in the Path of Painting is basically under them. We are invited to be here, that means they were giving us importance.”

”You got a point.” Guan Yuan nodded his head and looked over to Jin Rou and suddenly remembered something, ”Oh I remembered something. That man in white robe who was standing there like crazy, I heard that he is the one recommended by the crowned prince of the Gu Empire.”

”Oh?” Brother Meng also looked over, ”Is that so?”

Obviously, he was not interested in that fellow. Although he was recommended personally by someone with a high ranking, it does not mean that it guaranteed his skill. What if he was there to fill up the gap and be one of the cannon fodders right? So Brother Meng did not paid heed to him.

”Nevermind him. Just look at that Hua Hengyun being glared daggers by Dunggo Shi. It seems like the beef between them has yet to come into conclusion.” Seeing that there would be a good show to watch, Brother Meng looked over and followed suit by Guan Yuan.

At the other side of the stage, Hua Hengyun was busily preparing the stand for him to place the xuan paper on. He wanted to get it done as soon as possible as he believed time was precious.

However, being glared knives and daggers by someone was giving an uncomfortable feeling, he finally could not hold it in and glared back at Dunggo Shi with expressionless face, ”If you have the time to glare sharply to me like that, you should just instead use it instead of preparing a masterpiece. After all, I am still looking forward for your fourth defeat this time.”

”Such a tone you have there!” Dunngo Shi refuted. By this, one could already determine how short his temper was, ”You think I am the same as me years ago? You think you can win again this time?”

”That's what always happen. You should already be used to it.” Hua Hengyun said.

”Heh.” Dunngo Shi sneered and said, ”Let's see if you can still boast later on.” He also began preparing his tools and actived the stand for the xuan paper. He chose three brushes and two colors.

He waited for this moment to get back at this Hua Hengyun. He will make sure that Hua Hengyun will pay dearly once he trampled this guy!

All the sufferings of my years, will come back at you a hundred fold!
