Chapter 232 – Peach Blossom As The Theme! (1/2)

Chapter 232: Peach blossom as the theme!

“Who is so cruel as to instigate them to fight immediately?”

The crowd, with such thoughts, looked in the direction of where the voice came from.

A middle-aged man in a white outfit with long hair loose over his shoulders and a huge gourd in his hand stood cheerfully behind the crowd. As he pulled the cork from the gourd, a strong aroma of alcohol wafted out. In only a short while, it had already filled the courtyard with its fragrance.

The middle-aged man had wide eyes and eyebrows, and average facial features. But his pair of eyes, black as ink, were lively. They sparkled, brightening up his entire face. It was unforgettable.

“Teacher Gu you're here——” Someone bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man.

The person that spoke out was the man known as “the double wall of calligraphy and painting” Gu Huangwu, also a famous teacher of Starry Sky. And the master of this Walls of Peach Blossom, the Inst.i.tute of Art.

All the rumours and stories about him could have been arranged into a wonderful collection of tales. Li Muyang had admired him for a long time already, but it was the first time he saw him today.

“Teacher Gu——”

“Nice to see you Teacher Gu, what are you going to teach today teacher Gu?”

“Teacher Gu is joking——”

The crowd parted as Teacher Gu walked through, stopping in front of Li Muyang, Chu Ning and Song Tinyun. He carefully studied Li Muyang's eyes and brows, and then said with a smile:

“What is your name?”

“Li Muyang.”

“A crafty guy.” Gu Huangwu remarked.

“——” Li Muyang fumed inwardly, suspecting that the so-called famous teacher of Starry Sky has been bribed by the Royal family of the West Wind. How can someone be so biased at the first time they met?

“What? You don't agree?” Gu Huangwu had seen through Li Muyang's mind, poured a mouthful of drink from the gourd into his mouth and said with a chuckle: “I've been watching you at the side for a long time, and noticed that you kid really have the ability produce clouds with one turn of your hand and rain with another. You see a gap and stick in a needle, you befog the minds of people. You never miss the tiniest of chance.”

Li Muyang cupped one hand in the other and replied: “Teacher Gu's praise is too much, I just argued for what is right.”

Gu Huangwu nodded, stating: “That is business between the two of you, it has nothing to do with me. However, in my Walls of Peach Blossom, there can only be art compet.i.tion and no weapons. Fighting and killing is the most boring thing in the world.”

“With one slash, arms, thighs, heads will all tumble to the ground, blood spattering everywhere, it's disgusting and cruel, unbearable——Drinking wine, writing and painting the beauties of the world is much more relaxing and satisfying, right?”

The divine continent has the tendency of promoting martial spirit, many youngsters have the thirst of slaying a dragon and countless students hope of becoming a strong person of the Starry Sky one day.

If other people said 'fighting and killing is the most boring thing in the world', those who study marital arts and cultivate would most likely scold them to death. But when these words came from Gu Huangwu's mouth, not only did they not feel it's too abrupt, but right and unusually pleasing to the ear.

Gu Huangwu looked at Li Muyang and Song Tinyun, suggesting: “I just heard you two want to compete. Since you're at the Inst.i.tute of Art, then you will have to follow my rules——why don't you two use the beauty in front of you as the theme, and each produce a piece of work for everyone to judge. What do you two think?”
