"Incredible! Chiang Xiao even painted the two insect holes on one of the leaves exactly the same, so lifelike!"
"Yes, you might not have noticed, but there are a few stones in the corner. I counted, six stones, and even the color of the stones is drawn the same."
"I asked Arthur, the only difference is snow before and after. When Chiang Xiao went to the park there was no snow yet, but now itâs after a night of snow."
"No matter what, I really love that painting; it feels very peaceful."
While several judges were chatting about this, all the paintings had already been scored, which meant the results were actually out, so they chatted without any reservations.
"I also really like it. I plan to buy that painting from Chiang Xiao. Honestly, I want to hang it in the bathroom."
"Haha, hang it in the bathroom? Why is that?"
"Itâs very quiet; I think itâs perfect for very private moments."
Chiang Xiao later heard this conversation from Pheng Fei.
Knowing that a renowned journalist planned to hang her painting in the bathroom, she couldnât help but laugh and cry.
Of course, she wasnât staying at Mr. Wen Liâs estate last night; her teacher was still at the hotel.
So after finishing the painting and handing it to Green, she asked Pheng Fei to take her back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, it was half-past eight, and Liu Guoying was still waiting for her to have dinner.
Pheng Fei drove them out to eat together before leaving.
Chiang Xiao returned to the hotel and glanced in the direction of Meng Xinianâs old room, and couldnât help but sigh.
She already missed him so much, and didnât know which hotel they were staying at now.
If she could make it to the second round tomorrow and stay at Mr. Wen Liâs estate, they surely wouldnât have a chance to meet, would they?
Is that person called Second Master still looking for them?
Chiang Xiao fell asleep with these worries.
The next day, Pheng Fei came over and had lunch with them, sharing the judgesâ conversation, and then told Chiang Xiao that her painting had a high chance of making it to the second round, but the results wouldnât be out until afternoon.
Rooms there were already prepared, and they were asked to prepare themselves. Once the results were out, heâd send someone to pick them up to go to the estate.
"About four or five oâclock, I happen to have some things to do, so Iâll send my assistant to pick you up then."
Chiang Xiao nodded and, after seeing him off, decided to take Liu Guoying out to visit some sights.
Once theyâre at the estate, who knows if theyâll be able to come out again? They couldnât just stay locked in the hotel.
After they left, they took a bus to a scenic spot.
Sitting in the slowly moving bus, after about ten minutes of travel, the porcelain bead on Chiang Xiaoâs wrist suddenly warmed slightly.
Immediately after, she sensed Meng Xinianâs direction!
She hadnât found the chance before to test the effective range of the Mysterious Talisman Diagram with him. When he left, she couldnât sense his direction anymore, which made her a bit anxious. There was indeed a distance limitation!
Too far away, and she couldnât sense it at all.
But now she sensed his direction again, does this mean the direction sheâs headed is gradually getting closer to Meng Xinian?
Chiang Xiao carefully felt it, and indeed, the feeling grew stronger, the closer she got, the more specific she knew the position.
About fifteen minutes of bus travel, within a range of about five minutes of travel, she could feel it?
