The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 363: Painting Together

Some things may seem boring when done alone, but if you do them with friends who have a good understanding of you, they will become very interesting.

"Hey, you guys are going with me? Are you sure you don't want to test anything else?"

"It's no fun to go testing alone. I think it's better for us to go together!" Bai Zhou said rarely.

"Sister, don't worry. There is a saying that goes 'many hands make light work'. Let's complete the test together, maybe we can save a lot of time!" Fei Ji said with a smile.

Luo Ying folded his hands and raised his eyebrows, "No way, you can't abandon us!"

Meng Yujie said meaningfully, "Running away from the battlefield is not Cuijie's usual style!"

"Okay, okay, let's do it together!" Fan Nuoxi's mouth twitched at what they said.

Was she being that obvious?

Ruochen laughed out loud, "Well, if we don't go now, there won't be any vacancies there!"

The painting test was in the attic on the left. When they entered, some of the painting participants looked up at them. They came at a good time as there happened to be only one desk left for painting.

Some of the participants present painted alone, some in pairs or three, and at most four people painted together. Partitions were set up around them to prevent participants from peeking at others' paintings and to ensure that there was less interference between each other.

Near them were some busy disciples preparing necessities such as paints and scrolls for the participants.

The painting examiner was so happy when he saw the group of people walking towards him, talking and laughing.

Looking at the scene in the attic, Fan Nuoxi and his group stopped talking abruptly.

It would be better for them not to disturb others while they are painting.

At the right time, a disciple came up to them, suppressed the eagerness in his eyes, and said respectfully, "Everyone, please follow me."

When the disciples near the empty seat saw them coming, they considerately placed the paints, scrolls and related tools there. Perhaps they tacitly agreed that they wanted to paint together, and they also placed stools for them.

Fortunately, the desk was long enough to accommodate seven people painting together.

After the group sat down at the desk, the disciple who led the way handed them the crystal ball containing the test rules.

"If you need anything, you can tell us through the wind chime on the table."

"Thank you." Fan Nuoxi nodded slightly.

After the disciple left, the group began to carefully read the main contents of the test rules.

For this test, you can draw with multiple people or individually.

Individual painters need to draw three paintings for evaluation, while multi-painters need to draw at least one painting for evaluation. The evaluation criteria for paintings submitted by multi-painters are more stringent than those for individual painters.

Both single-person and multi-person paintings need to be signed, and when submitting the painting, the examiner must be informed of the inspiration for the painting and the meaning of the painting.

There is no limit to the content and materials of the painting, but it needs to have a certain artistic conception and value.

The waste drafts produced during painting can be disposed of by yourself.

The paintings are extremely beautiful and meaningful, and there is a certain probability of getting extra points.

If you need to eat during the painting process, you can do it on the spot, but do not disturb other participants.

If you have other reasonable needs, you can ask for help from the assisting disciples.

Although there are not many rules, it is enough for them to think carefully about what to draw.

Fan Nuoxi was not in a hurry about this. He just spread out a blank scroll and started painting with a brush.

Seeing that Fan Nuoxi was in good spirits, Ruochen and the others also took the scroll and started painting.

Since she wants to draw for fun, then let's draw together. There's no need to rush to test the required content.

The moment Fan Nuoxi picked up the pen, he attracted the attention of everyone in the bracelet. As they watched Peilin's image gradually become clearer in the scroll, they felt a sense of interest.

Peilin saw that Fan Nuoxi drew a picture of him and wanted to rush out to argue with her.

It would be fine to just draw him, but how could you draw him in such an embarrassing state after being struck by lightning!

He doesn’t want to lose face!

Half an hour later, Fan Nuoxi looked at the masterpiece in his hands and felt satisfied.

Luo Ying, who was sitting next to Fan Nuoxi, couldn't lower the corners of his mouth that were raised.

"You are such a heartless guy!" Peilin accused.

"I know you have a conscience, so how much is one pound of your conscience? Give me a few pounds!" Fan Nuoxi retorted while writing the four words "Pei Lin's Embarrassment" on the painting.

"Brother Lin, I think the master's painting is very beautiful! How can you say that about the master?" Xiao Cai gently pulled Pei Lin's hand and joined in.

Peilin, "..."

After Fan Nuoxi put away the paintings, he stood up and looked at other people's paintings. After just one glance, he couldn't help but want to collect them from them.

Other people's drawings are quite interesting, but they depict her in various humorous expressions...

It was true that the painting was lifelike, and it was also true that she wanted to beat them up.

Look at this. Ruochen painted her in an awkward state when facing He Youhuai; Feiji painted her with a grimace; Baizhou painted her with mud all over her face while picking herbs; Meng Yujie painted her with Fan Nuoxi being a bit of a bootlicker; Li Menghan painted her hugging Fan Nuoxi tightly, with Fan Nuoxi looking embarrassed; Luoying painted Fan Nuoxi feeling guilty and wanting to escape...

Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but pinch Meng Yujie's shoulder and said through his spiritual sense, "You'd better hand over the painting, or I will beat you up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Yujie quickly put away her masterpiece, and the others followed suit, fearing that it would be snatched away by Fan Nuoxi.

What made Fan Nuoxi feel helpless more than what they did was the laughter of certain people in her mind.

Fan Nuoxi, "..."

Very good, I’ll starve you guys today!

Afterwards, Fan Nuoxi returned to her seat somewhat frustratedly and changed the subject, whispering, "Do you want to paint together?"

Ruochen nodded, "Of course!"

Fan Nuoxi looked around and said with his spiritual sense, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Big rivers and mountains are too conventional. If you want to get a high score, it is definitely not suitable. I think I can paint a picture that blends landscapes with figures." Meng Yujie replied.

Luo Ying suggested, "Why don't we draw what happened in Tongyaoye yesterday? This way it won't seem too abrupt and it will be easier to explain."

"I think this is great!" Li Menghan nodded in agreement. "Drawing this will not only fit the test, but will also not draw unnecessary attention. It's really killing two birds with one stone."

"I second that." Fei Ji echoed.

Fan Nuoxi also thought this was a good idea and confirmed, "Then how about we draw Tong Yaoye's story?"

"it is good!"

The proposal was unanimously agreed.

Then, they started to think about what scene to paint.

Fan Nuoxi combined what they said with his own ideas and drew a simple sketch.

Afterwards, several people used telepathy to mark and modify the sketch together, and finally determined the specific scene to be drawn after an hour.

In order to avoid forgetting while drawing, Bai Zhou quickly drew a sketch of the version that everyone had agreed on.

Looking at this version of the sketch, everyone was very satisfied.

Then he rang the wind chimes on the table and asked the disciples in charge to bring all the tools they needed.

The noise at their table naturally attracted the attention of others. Even the examiner wanted to come over to take a look several times, but he had to hold back for fear of ruining their atmosphere.

Looking at how focused they are, they might be about to do something big again.

The disciples who helped had the opportunity to take a quick look at the heavily annotated sketch and felt that their test would cause another sensation.

An hour later, Tong Yaoye's outline appeared on the drawing paper that covered most of the desk.

Everyone was satisfied looking at the painting which had taken shape.

"Gu-gu-gu-"

At this moment, an inopportune voice was heard.

Bai Zhou immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Since you're hungry, let's just eat something simple."

Afterwards, Fan Nuoxi waved his hand and used his spiritual power to hide the painting, rang the wind chimes, and asked for a small table that could accommodate a few people to eat and two basins of clean water.

After simply washing his hands, Luo Ying quickly set up a barrier.

After all, there were other people painting nearby and they didn't want to disturb others.

After making sure that he would not disturb others, Fan Nuoxi took out some food that he had prepared earlier.

Although it has been stored for a long time, it is still steaming when taken out, and the taste is almost the same as when it was freshly baked, which makes people want to have a full meal.

Some people in the bracelet looked at them eating happily and didn't care about them at all, and they started complaining.

Peilin asked hopefully, "Nuoxi, is there any food left?"

"There's no place for you!" Fan Nuoxi snorted.
