Chapter 184 Study Painting

Qin Shuang decisively shakes her head and says, “I know Master Zhou misunderstood me, but Master Zhou ignored a point. It is impossible for a Princess who cannot cultivate to sit in that seat. After all, Martial Continent is a martial arts world, no kingdom will let a person who cannot cultivate sit in that position.”

President Lu shakes his head and says, “Its not that Master Zhou ignored this point, even if you cannot cultivate, can’t sit in that seat, once he accepts you as a disciple, it will immediately attract the attention of your brothers and sisters, even if they know you cannot cultivate, even if they know you don’t pose a threat to them, but what if you have an opportunity, will you be a threat? So they are likely to be against you, Master Zhou doesn’t accept you as a disciple, because he is protecting you.”

Qin Shuang looks stunned, with a hint of guilt on her face she says: “I misunderstood Master Zhou.”

“What are your plans for the future?”

“I don’t know! Until the problem of the cartilage in my meridians is resolved, I will continue to study spirit patterns and learn Confucianism.”

“Then stay and study, I look forward to you becoming a great Confucian.”

“Thank you President!”

“Go ahead!”

“Yes, President!” Qin Shuang takes a step back and turns to open the door, but suddenly she stops and turns back, “President, can I ask you something.”

“En!”

“What do I need to do if I want to study at the Painting Institute?”

“The four institutes of guqin, chess, painting and calligraphy all differ, the most important teaching is Confucianism, so the daily course only needs one point. But guqin, chess, painting and calligraphy belong to side arts, if students want to learn they can, but the Confucian Academy has conditions. Five points are required for each lesson, you can also choose your own teacher.”

“I want to learn to painting. President, which painting teacher is better?”

“Hmm!” Lu Shenghui thinks and says: “The Academy has only two painters, Zhen Zining and Bao Ziqing, they have the highest realm in the academy. Both of them are third-level Great Spirit Pattern Masters, their painting is excellent, you can choose one of them.”

“Can I sign up directly?”

“Yes, you can go straight to them, you go to the Painting Institute to find the manager, he will take you to see the teacher you want to see.”

“Thank you President! This student says goodbye!”

Qin Shuang opens the door and walks out, downstairs, out of the door. Looking around she is stunned. At the gate, the eleven people who were being held in the room are standing there, nine are looking at her in amazement. Wang Song and Mu Xiaoci run towards her in pleasant surprise.

“Are you all right?” Wang Song and Mu Xiaoci ask in unison.

“What would happen to me?” Qin Shuang laughs softly.

“How could you be all right?” The former drunken Confucian says angrily.

Qin Shuang’s face is heavy, and she looks at the other person coldly and says, “What? Still trying to fight?”

The Confucian is so frightened that he jumps back and looks nervously at Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang is lazy to care for him, looking at Wang Song she asks:

“Brother Wang, you’re all right?”

“Yeah! Not long after you left, we were released. That’s why they say you’re the martial artist, and after being investigated, they released us. Where did you go?”

“The President is back, I went to see the President!”

Mu Xiaoci then clasps her hands behind her and walks around Qin Shuang. Looking up and down at Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang is embarrassed by her staring, saying:

“What do you see?”

“You’re a person with a big background, aren’t you? The President must know your background, so he came back. You’re fine, right?”

“Don’t guess. With that energy, let’s go back and treat our wounds.”

When she heard Qin Shuang talking about the wounds, Mu Xiaoci covers her nose and says, “It really hurts, Brother Song, let’s go quickly.”

Wang Song smiles and says goodbye, Qin Shuang walks to her own residence, the nine people have long disappeared.

“Miss!” In the room, while Qin Yunxia is bandaging the wound on Qin Shuang’s forehead, she mutters, “Why didn’t you hit them hard, how could you be beaten like this! Tell Yunxia who did it, Yunxia will avenge you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Qin Shuang pats Qin Yunxia and says: “Hurry and wrap it for me, I want to go to the Painting Institute to worship a teacher.”

“Miss, how could you go out like this! Others will laugh at you, or stay in the room, wait for the injury to heal, it won’t be too late later on.”

“When is it your turn to manage my life?” Qin Shuang smiles and says: “You don’t need to care about my affairs, others laugh at me, will I care? Aren’t I still being laughed at in Wangdu? It’s better to save time and do what you want to do.”

Qin Shuang’s head is bandaged, her face also has a palm print, she changes into a clean Confucian robe. Carrying a small bundle on her shoulder, there is spirit paper, a spirit brush and cinnabar, she walks to the Painting Institute.

She decided to learn painting with Zhen Zining, because from the conversation between her and Bao Ziqing that day, she can feel that there is a problem with Bao Ziqing’s character, and Zhen Zining is also a woman. As a woman, she is more willing to learn with a woman.

The reason why Qin Shuang wants to learn painting is because although she was able to successfully draw the paper-cutout man on spirit-paper with a spirit brush, she used demon art and the power of her Sea of Knowledge. When she wanted to use the power of her soul, she couldn’t draw at all.

Into the Painting Institute, she went to the room of the manager, reaching out she gently knocks on the door, then the managers door opens, looking at Qin Shuang, he frowns, a trace of impatience appears in his eyes, he says:

“You want to come back to work again? That job has already been taken, you go back.”

Qin Shuang doesn’t care about his attitude, indifferently saying: “I came to learn painting with Teacher Zhen.”

The manager has a dull board looking face, but still sternly says: “Come with me.”

Qin Shuang follows the manger to the third floor, and then stops at a door, looking at the bandages on Qin Shuang’s head and the palm prints on her face, with disgust in his eyes he says:

“Go in yourself.”

Qin Shuang knocks gently on the door, and soon, the door opens, revealing the face of a young girl from inside, looking at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang says in a low voice:

“I’m here to learn painting with Teacher Zhen.”

The girl whispers, “Please follow me.”

Qin Shuang walks into the door, and the girl nods toward the manager, then closes the door gently. Qin Shuang looks in both directions. This is a small room with a carpet on the ground, a desk, and a chair behind the desk, which seems to be where the girl stays. There is also a door on the left and right.
