117 Mysterious Moon 1

On the bell tower next to Wuyue Port, Yu Shiqi carefully depicted the scenery below towards the easel.

Today he came out alone, and after all, Dong'er did not come with him. The reason why Yu Shiqi did this is because he had something else to do except practice painting today.

He didn't tell anyone about the thing that Spider gave him in Jiang City. It was something left by Liu Yike, the former acting leader of the Desolate Sect. Although Yu Shiqi didn't know what Liu Yike left behind, he still believed that it was necessary to keep it confidential.

Putting down his brush and looking at the painting that had just been completed, Yu Shiqi let out a sigh of relief, intending to leave it on the easel to dry. He picked up the other finished scrolls piled up beside him and clamped them under his ribs, left the bell tower and walked towards the market street in front of the port.

Yu Shiqi's goal is a shop called "Moyi" on the market street. The shops sell decorative calligraphy and paintings and antique gadgets, mainly for tourists coming to Wuyue to buy them back as a souvenir.

"Oh, Mr. Yu, you are here."

The person who waved his hand to greet Yu Shiqi was the boss of this "Mo Yi", a young man who looked less than 30 years old, named An Zhishu, who looked like a Confucian scholar in Lunguozi, and was considered half an acquaintance of Zhonglingqi. The reason why he was half a member of Zhonglingqi was said to be because An Zhishu did not know the identity of Zhongling Qiwangchuan, and only thought he was a businessman living in Longhe Town.

"Boss, these are the paintings I have completed recently. If possible, I hope I can continue to be sold here."

"No problem, Mr. Zhong said hello to me." An Zhishu agreed readily, "And haven't I seen your paintings before, too? It's really good."

Seeing Yu Shiqi smiled embarrassedly, An Zhishu hurriedly said, "Hey, I'm not polite complimenting you. Mr. Yu, your paintings can be entered into the house. But now many people who buy paintings don't know how to paint at all. Going with the flow is just to draw the reputation of some famous painters."

"Is that true..."

"Yes, I have run this store in the port for so many years, and I have seen too many artful people. I don't know how to draw but I insist on buying it." An Zhishu shook his head and said, "It is because there are many horses in a thousand miles, but there are not many Bole."

Yu Shiqi put the painting he brought on on an empty shelf in the store, and suddenly recalled the Shunyuan Hou Baili Cheng in Jingrong. He once thought that this person would be his mentor, but...

An Zhishu didn't see Yu Shiqi sighing. He turned to the counter and took a few silver pieces and handed them to Yu Shiqi: "I sold two paintings of Mr. Yu a few days ago. This is the money I gave you. I have already used the cost of mounting and the agreement to get 20% of what I deserve."

Yu Shiqi accepted it and thanked him. He sold the painting here. The mounting was done by An Zhishu. In addition, 20% of the income from selling the painting was the reward he had agreed to give An Zhishu.

If he could sell all these paintings before leaving Wuyue, he would have enough money to buy some souvenirs for his master so that he would not bother Zhonglingqi. Although Zhonglingqi himself did not care about this expense, Yu Shiqi still didn't like to owe others trouble, even if Zhonglingqi was his father.

Before leaving, he asked An Zhishu about the general location of Julai Money House. Yu Shiqi was about to leave Moyi's shop when he suddenly heard a clear and bright voice from behind him.

"Boss, I want all the paintings of Yu Shiqi in your house."

An Zhishu was suddenly stunned, turned his head and looked at Yu Shiqi, and found that his face could not hide his surprise.

Yu Shiqi turned around and saw a pretty girl wearing a fox fur and a ponytail standing at the door, circling around the shop with a curious clear gaze.

Her eyes finally fell on Yu Shiqi, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled happily and walked forward.

Yu Shiqi suddenly felt particularly nervous and stood still, thinking of responding to changes in a constant manner, quietly watching the girl walking towards him.

However, the girl passed by him gracefully, stretched out her hands and picked up an antique bronze beast elephant the size of a palm-sized on the goods display stand behind Yu Shiqi.

"Boss, I want this too."

"Hey, I'll put the box for you now." An Zhishu came to his senses and realized that a big business came to his door today, so he did not dare to neglect at all.

The girl walked around to the place where Yu Shiqi had placed the newly brought scroll, picked up a painting and looked at it carefully, nodding slightly, as if she was very acknowledging it.

Yu Shiqi secretly looked at the girl's silhouette curiously. He had just thought about it for a long time and could not remember where he had seen her before. However, she asked her name to buy the painting "painter Yu Shiqi", which made Yu Shiqi puzzled.

"Boss, please put these paintings in place after they are framed and sent to Yongfu Tower and Hemingzhuang for me."

The girl said as she took out two silver bills from her arms and slapped them on the counter, frightening An Zhishu, who was packaging the antique bronze beast elephant.

He looked at the two silver bills with a denomination of "500 taels" and swallowed, but in the end he had the upper hand in his conscience and explained to the girl sincerely: "Girl, don't have to be so much, one is enough, I have to ask you for money."

"No, I have the final say. From now on, Yu Shiqi's paintings will only be sold at a higher price than what I offered today. No, accurate, cheap, sell!" Her last four words were full of momentum, shocking An Zhishu.

Yu Shiqi heard it from behind and was mixed with emotion, thinking where did this lady from the aristocratic family come from? Could she be the noble person in her destiny and the mentor whom Qianlima asked for?

Holding An Zhishu's antique bronze beast elephant in a good sandalwood gift box, the girl turned around with satisfaction and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she turned around and reminded her: "Don't forget the boss of giving the paintings to Yongfulou and Hemingzhuang!"

"Okay, but girl... after I send the painting for you, if the other party asks who gave it, how should I answer?" An Zhishu asked cautiously.

"As long as you say it was given by Miss Xuanyue, the other party will naturally understand." The girl smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you have already said hello."

When the girl went out and turned right, An Zhishu picked up the two silver bills on the counter and shed tears in excitement: "It's really not open for a year, I'll eat for a year... Master Yu, Master Yu, congratulations!"

Yu Shiqi seemed to have not heard him, and was still staring at the door of the store in a daze.

"Hey, Mr. Yu, this money should be yours..."

"Boss, has she been here before the girl I just came?" Yu Shiqi suddenly asked.

An Zhishu thought about it and shook his head affirmatively: "It's a naive face. I can guarantee that after all, such a beautiful person, I will definitely remember if I have been here before."

He paused for a moment and asked strangely: "I was thinking just now, don't Mr. Yu know her? But she wanted to buy all your paintings as soon as she came. I thought it was Mr. Yu who knew each other."

"I don't know either." Yu Shiqi smiled helplessly, "Boss, send the money to you first. I will pick it up from you after you frame the painting and send it to the other party."

"good……"

"Then I'll leave first and say goodbye."

Yu Shiqi ran out quickly and subconsciously looked to the right. He remembered that the girl walked to the right after she left the door.

The market street was bustling with people, and the other party was no longer visible.
