Chapter 314 (2/2)
Although Ning Xuemo wasn’t an art critic, how could she have entered into an art trance this easily? It was such a pity that the painting was destroyed. If he gave it to her, she could still sell it for an astronomical amount of silver.
“It’s flawed.” Han Shanyue replied succinctly.
The assistants besides him also revealed an expression of regret. They were also painting prodigies, and could be considered as young master painters as well. For this occasion, they were invited by Great Master Han Shanyue as assistants and were extremely willing to support that great master.

“No harm.” Han Shanyue raised his hand and pressed it on the ink slab.
Ning Xuemo didn’t have the time to retract her hand as he pressed his palm on the back of her hand.
His palm was cold like ice, causing Ning Xuemo to suddenly burst into cold shivers. She knitted her brows and was about to retract her hand…
