Taking the exhibition invitation given to him by Fujiyama, Yu Shiqi went to Yuanqing Tower alone. This time he did not deliberately go away to avoid the road near Yunzhongjian's Beijing station. Anyway, Fujiyama had discovered him, so it would be meaningless to do so.

Yu Shiqi originally thought that there would be some discomfort or crisis in Fujiyoshi's entry into Beijing this time, but now he seems to be too careless. Although Zheng Lichen, the new director of the Yuwu Department, is annoying, the status of Yunzhongjian in Yuwu Department, does not seem to be shaken by others' taking office. Fujiyoshi's visit this time is probably just to represent the Desolate Sect and Yunzhongjian to receive the new king's new policy.

Relieving his worries, he also had the interest in traveling and enjoying. After entering Yuanqinglou with invitations, he was immediately attracted by rows of Western paintings. Unlike the style of ink paintings made by the mainland painters of Chenlin, the paintings exhibited by the Fanyi painters from the Western Regions were bright, bright and shiny, and even showed a sense of distance and layering on the flat paper. Although it was less spiritual than the paintings of Chenlin mainland painters, it gave people a strong sense of reality, which made Yu Shiqi feel very eye-opening.

In addition to the finished paintings on display, there were also artists showing the painting process on site. The utensils used were very different from those in contact with Yu Shiqi before. After careful observation, Yu Shiqi found that the painting paper used by the other party was thicker than the rice paper used by Chenlin painters, and it was not laid flat on the table, but covered on the standing wooden stand. The painter himself sat or stood in front of the wooden stand, holding painting tools to create.

This is the first time Yu Shiqi has seen this kind of painting method. Even when he went to the Western Wilderness, he has never seen such a different painting. Although he was curious about many questions in his heart and wanted to ask for advice from those foreign painters, he was afraid of disturbing others' paintings, so he had to look around and wait for the opportunity.

There are also many well-known painters from all over Chenlin in Yuanqing Building. These people are basically the first to experience Western Region paintings. While feeling the impact, they are gathering together in groups of three or five to discuss. Some are shocked, while others disagree. In addition to the painters invited to visit, there are also many rich merchants and nobles in the Gyeonggi area. Although these people do not know how to paint, they are the top customers of this exhibition. Some people are already preparing to buy the paintings on the exhibition at a high price and take them back to collect them.

"Dear masters and bosses, please be quiet." The person in charge of Yuanqing Tower stepped forward to suppress the conversations that were heard one after another. He cleared his throat and announced: "According to the requirements of the masters from distant countries, all the paintings exhibited on the first floor are sold at the price of 500 silver per picture. Just buy one painting and you are eligible to participate in the VIP auction held on the second floor later."

“What is a VIP auction?”

"Everyone is calm. The VIP auction will sell ten rare paintings in the form of a bidding auction. They are recognized by masters from distant countries. Moreover, these ten paintings are unique, although each has its own merits, they are integrated. The contents displayed in the ten paintings are connected and reflect each other."

"Will those ten paintings be disbanded and auctioned?" someone questioned.

"So I'm looking forward to having distinguished guests to accept all these ten paintings." The person in charge of Yuanqing Tower smiled embarrassedly, "I just don't know if there are such destined people. The auction will start in an hour, and the second floor will prepare wine and food for the guests who are eligible to enter the venue."

The guests gathered on the first floor of the art exhibition immediately discussed with each other, even more enthusiastic than before. Soon, someone had already bought the paintings on display on the first floor and obtained the qualification to go to the second floor to participate in the auction early.

Although Yu Shiqi also wanted to go to the second floor auction to open his eyes, but his entry qualification was too expensive, and 500 silver was not a small amount. After all, he never sold paintings after returning to Yunzhongjian, and the money he had saved before was almost used in the expenses of running back and forth.

The rich men present spent a lot of money, and five hundred silver was nothing to them. The important thing was that they could not lose face in this high-rise occasion. More and more people bought paintings, and some even gave the paintings they bought to the servants who came with them and carried them to their carriages outside.

Yu Shiqi looked at the 500-silver notes being spent on money and suddenly recalled the experience of meeting Wuyue and Xuanyue at the end of last year. The paintings she sold in An Zhishu's "Moyi" calligraphy and painting shop were also carried to 500 silver by her.

The look that was so exciting when Xuan Yue was caught by him was really funny. After so long, he still couldn't help laughing.

But... I probably won't see you in the future? Yu Shiqi's eyes became gloomy for a moment. The last meeting between him and Xuan Yue was in Yunxiang, the imperial capital. The girl who was united with Yue'er but was more adaptable to the secular fireworks outside the Western Wilderness disappeared at the end of the riot in the imperial capital. In the end, only Yue'er, who was holding the Yutian Sword in the suburbs of Beishan, was left.

Later, he also asked Xilingyue tentatively whether Xuanyue would appear again, but he got an ambiguous answer. When he thought of this, he sighed secretly, feeling sad from it, and the corners of his eyes were wet without realizing it.

"Young Master, can you please give it up? Someone bought this painting."

After being patted by someone from behind, Yu Shiqi came to his senses and hurriedly let him go aside.

Although there are many paintings on display on the first floor, as more and more people buy paintings, there are fewer masterpieces left. Yu Shiqi missed Xuanyue and lost the interest in appreciating paintings at this time. He could not afford to buy them at all times and vertically, and he had already thought of leaving.

Turning around and passing through the gate of Yuanqing Tower from the crowd with a warm and high atmosphere. Because of the crowding, he was extremely worried that he would offend others accidentally. Yu Shiqi lowered his head and looked at his feet. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the crowd, he collided with someone coming towards him.

The figure who collided with him was a little short, but fortunately they were not walking fast. After the collision, Yu Shiqi stood firm and the other party did not fall. He seemed to be in a panic and hugged his waist and buried his face in front of his chest.

"Sorry, I'm not watching the road. Are you okay?" When I smelled the cold plum fragrance on the other party, Yu Shiqi realized that the woman who collided with him was a woman. While apologizing, he wanted to get rid of the other party's hands as soon as possible.

"Hehe..." The hands that hugged his waist not only did not let go, but instead hugged them tighter.

Seeing the signs of exerting force on the other party's hands, Yu Shiqi was alert and hesitated whether to use the Yunmai technique to shake it open. Suddenly, his body was light and his feet were off the ground, and he was actually held up by the other party with his waist.

Yu Shiqi supported the opponent's thin shoulders with his left hand to stabilize his body, and his right hand was put together with his five fingers to form a palm knife. The true energy of the wind meridian gathered under his palm and was about to slash him. Suddenly, his drooping gaze fell on the opponent's raised face, and all the murderous aura dissipated for a moment.

"Yue'er?"

He almost thought that he had hallucinations because of his longing, until Xuan Yue blinked at him with a sweet smile.

But the smile froze quickly. It was obviously because of insufficient strength. He forced Yu Shiqi's waist to lift him up a little bit, and Xuan Yue lost his balance and leaned back.

"Ahhh..." The girl exclaimed in disgrace.

Yu Shiqi had no time to save her in a hurry, and was dragged down by Xuan Yue with her waist. Before he fell to the ground, he put his hand on the back of her head to protect her.

Everyone turned around because of the movement behind them. In front of everyone, they hugged the young girl who was lying on the ground and their ears turned red.

"Young Master Yu, can I use secret techniques to blow up here?"

Yu Shiqi quickly stood up and picked her up, hurriedly escaped from the gate of Yuanqing Tower.
