Rebirth: City Sovereign

Ye Qingying patted Ye Kai's shoulders with an anxious look on his face.    

However, Ye Kai didn't seem to care about the fact that he was in the center of the storm at all.    

"What happened? Why are you so excited?"    

"Didn't you tell me to go up and paint? So I went."    

This time, Ye Qingying was even more anxious, the corners of her eyes were already starting to turn red.    

"I originally thought that everyone went up to help them with their painting, but I didn't expect that he would invite so many masters to target you."    

Seeing that Ye Qingying was about to cry, Ye Kai rubbed her head and said lovingly.    

"Don't worry, when did your brother get beaten by someone else?"    

"But it's different this time."    

Ye Qingying said snappily.    

"You also know that Xiao Family is a true painter in the capital, and a painting can be sold for millions or even tens of millions, which is not something that an ordinary person can compare with."    

"Then I'm an ordinary person?"    

Ye Kai pinched Ye Qingying's small face and comforted her.    

Qin Yurou was separated by a few tables, looking at the conversation between Ye Kai and the two, a smile appeared on her face.    

When the banquet was almost over, the lights of the entire audience dimmed and a small stage actually rose up from the stage in the very front. Under the illumination of a bunch of white neon lights, Xiao Yan changed into a long robe with a black background and picked up the microphone.    

"I am the eldest son of Xiao Family, Xiao Yan."    

"Thank you everyone for giving me, Xiao, face by coming to the Hilton Hotel to participate in this banquet that is being held together with Lightness Group."    

"I believe everyone is aware that this banquet is not only to congratulate Lightness Group for signing a contract with me regarding Yanliang Peak, but also to celebrate my engagement with Miss Qin Xueru."    

"For this banquet, I have specially invited many painters from the capital to come and help."    

"However, I never expected that Master Ye, who is famous for his drawing skills, would actually come to the scene!"    

Afterwards, a similar beam of neon light struck Ye Kai's head. The hundred over people present all naturally looked towards Ye Kai's location.    

"Let us invite the Master Ye!"    

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he slightly raised his hand towards Ye Kai.    

Ye Kai was not courteous, he immediately stood up from his seat, and with an indifferent expression, he walked up the stage.    

Two more lights were lit in the restaurant. Behind the two men standing a few meters away from each other, a set of high-end easels, Xuan paper, and ink pens had already been prepared.    

Xiao Yan looked at Ye Kai with a face full of smiles.    

"The Master Ye is the most famous hand of the Jianghai, using a single hand to pour ink onto a painting, I wonder what kind of surprise the Master Ye has brought us today?"    

Ye Kai replied with a calm smile, "You are the boss, please."    

Xiao Yan did not reject, and instead had an expression of "I'll do it for you".    

"Alright, then I'll be making a fool of myself!"    

His slender right hand gently held up the opened ink bottle on the shelf as his black robe danced in the air. Xiao Yan waved his right hand, sprinkling all of the ink bottle onto the paper like rain!    

There was obviously a lot of ink in the ink bottle, but when Xiao Yan spilled it out, not a single bit of it flew out of the arena, and his movements was extremely agile.    

The ink inside the ink bottle didn't directly pour out of the bottle and hit the paper. Instead, it scattered in the air like drops of rain or tiny ice crystals, like the seeds of a dandelion, on the paper.    

Gently placing the ink bottle on the shelf, Xiao Yan turned to face all the guests and smiled.    

A lifelike lotus flower appeared on the xuan paper.    

Many of the guests that did not make any animations were startled when they saw this, but the dozen or so painters all revealed shocked expressions when they saw Xiao Yan's actions.    

Ink Splashing Painting!    

When everyone could see the lotus clearly, Xiao Yan slowly opened his mouth.    

"To get out of the mud untainted, to clean up the canyons but not the demons."    

"This is my first impression of Miss Qin Xueru. Miss Qin's beauty is like a jade white snow lotus, extraordinary and extraordinary."    

"A 'lotus' for Miss Qin Xueru."    

With this said, all the guests burst into warm applause.    

Especially the painters, all of them were full of praise.    

It wasn't that they hadn't seen ink splashing before, but this was the first time they had seen a painting of this level.    

"Most ink-splashing paintings are flawed by uneven or irregular splashes of ink. However, Young Master Xiao's agile technique caused the ink drops to splash onto the xuan paper. Every drop of ink was evenly spread out, and not a single flaw could be seen! "    

"Not only that, the tiny ink droplets that slowly slid down the surface of the painting are like fresh raindrops, and the lotus flower's posture is extremely lifelike. Looking at it from afar, it actually looks like a moving picture!"    

"Young Master Xiao is indeed worthy of being called a genius with outstanding Xiao Family!"    

But Xiao Yan did not have the intention to step down from the stage, and after everyone finished looking at the white lotus, he waved his hand, and directly tore off the xuan paper that was imprinted with the lotus flower, and threw it to the side!    

Upon seeing his appearance, everyone was shocked.    

Xiao Yan said as he gently placed his hand on the easel.    

"Just now, it was just an appetizer. I made a fool of myself."    

"Since it's a painting made for my fiancee Xueru, just this level of work is naturally insufficient."    

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's left hand, which was gently placed on the easel, actually rose up high and then suddenly fell down.    

"Bam!"    

Following a loud blast, a brush that had never been used before flew up from the easel!    

Along with it was the ink in the ink bottle.    

The brush was stained with ink, and with the middle point of the brush as the center, it danced and spun in the air. The tip of the brush, stained with ink, dragged along a long black snake of ink.    

Seeing this scene, the crowd could no longer sit still.    

Even though painting using ink was impressive, it was not something that only Xiao Yan could do. It was like a divine brush descending to the mortal world, he had his own consciousness and painted a mystical scene on the paper that even these Grandmasters who had held the brush for dozens of years had never heard of.    

The brush fell gently into Xiao Yan's hands and was caught by two of his fingers. Behind him, a spiraling True Dragon had appeared!    

"A miracle, a miracle!"    

"To be able to see this painting in my lifetime, I shall die with no regrets!"    

"The Divine Brush Realm is Dan Qing's peak level, and the old man who passed down the Xiao Family only comprehended it in the last years of his life. I never thought that Young Master Xiao would be able to grasp this technique before even standing, and is definitely the best inheritor of my China!"    

The painters could no longer sit still. One by one, they stood up and stuck their heads out to look at the dragon.    

If the white lotus from before was an exquisite item that could only be achieved with a dexterous technique, then the dragon was a rough and powerful, unpolished highest realm!    

It was like a cloud that had been disturbed, but also like a sliver of True Qi on a swimming dragon's body. As for the part with the dragon head, it was even more astonishing, the bamboo like spreading pen strokes wantonly sketching out the dragon's head. Everyone only felt that the swimming dragon had a life of its own, as if it was about to fly out from the painting.    

The guests all looked at Xiao Yan's godly drawing skills, all of their eyes were wide open, and they were at a loss of what to do.    

Xiao Yan ignored the clamoring crowd and revealed a provocative smile towards Ye Kai.    

"I wonder what kind of painting Master Ye has prepared?"    

Ye Kai had finished looking at Xiao Yan's work from start to finish. Hearing Xiao Yan's words, he put his hands behind his back and slowly spoke.    

"Young Master Xiao sure is amazing at writing."    

"I hope that you and Xueru can get along well for a hundred years."    

After saying that, Ye Kai turned around and was about to leave the stage.    

With this action, no one knew how to react. Xiao Yan's face darkened as he asked.    

"Master Ye, what does that mean? Do you think you can't surpass me in painting? "    

Ye Kai shook his head: "Your luck is good, you are able to draw with a brush. Your talent is good enough to reach the top of Hua Xia, but that's all."    

At this moment, no one could sit still anymore, and the entire venue instantly became restless.    

Xiao Yan's face turned cold, he gritted his teeth and slowly spat out a few words.    

"Is that so?"    

Then, he raised his right hand and slammed it onto the easel. The dragon on the paper roared and actually flew out from the paper, screaming and rushing towards Ye Kai!    

Faced with this sudden attack, Ye Kai slowly turned around and flicked his finger.    

"Bam!"    

A drop of ink flew out from his fingertip and landed on the forehead of the wandering dragon. The dragon let out a mournful wail and instantly exploded in the air, turning into countless ink droplets and dissipating!    

Seeing that, Xiao Yan's face first turned pale, then forced himself to calm down, and snorted.    

"Not only did you not paint, you even destroyed my work. What do you mean by that?"    

Ye Kai did not even turn his head, his eyes full of disdain as he replied indifferently.    

"Are you even worthy for me to take action?"    

With that, he walked off the stage with his back facing Xiao Yan.    

The disturbance at the scene had reached an unprecedented level. Everyone was discussing Ye Kai's real identity and doubting his backer.    

Ye Kai used his back to bear all of this. He walked in front of the terrified Qin Xueru and slowly lifted the wine cup that was filled to the brim.    

"I'm not here for the royal ball, nor for the art exhibition."    

"Just a toast to a friend, a grudge."    

With that settled, Ye Kai gulped down all the fine wine in his cup, as if he had finished all of his past.    

Then, he placed the cup down, placed his hands behind his back and left with Ye Qingying.    

Only Qin Xueru, who had regret in her eyes, and the others from the Qin Family were left behind, along with the famous people in the capital.
