Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow TranslationsYue Qiu Ju Shi's art exhibition was a self-funded one . However, he had done ample preparations such that a typical person wouldn't be able to tell . Only those that had a sharp eye for artworks and those influential figures would go to such art exhibitions . If they were to like a particular artwork, they could speak to the organizer to purchase it . Yue Qiu Ju Shi was an influential figure in the art industry . His flora and fauna artworks were extremely popular . Lin Fan didn't even ask w.a.n.g Ming Yang to come along when he left the hotel . He secretly left . He wondered why w.a.n.g Ming Yang wanted to follow him to Beijing even though he had nothing to do there . When he reached the lift, Lin Fan stopped . He thought that since he had come to Beijing with w.a.n.g Ming Yang and it would be bad to leave him alone . He hesitated for a moment and went back to w.a.n.g Ming Yang's room . *Knock knock*He knocked on the door and there was no response . The cleaner walked past and said, "Young chap, this guest left early in the morning . "Lin Fan frowned and cursed in his heart . He had been prepared to bring w.a.n.g Ming Yang along but w.a.n.g Ming Yang had actually gone for it without him . That was outrageous . Then, he walked away without turning back . He didn't want to bring w.a.n.g Ming Yang along anymore . After a while, w.a.n.g Ming Yang returned happily with breakfast . Then, he came to knock on Lin Fan's door . There was no response . The cleaner happened to pa.s.s by and she said, "Young chap, this guest left a while ago . "w.a.n.g Ming Yang was stunned . He looked at the time and was unhappy . Outrageous . He didn't even wait for me . My efforts to buy him breakfast have been in vain . w.a.n.g Ming Yang wanted to look for Wu Yun Gang . He quickly went to his room to prepare himself . Beijing's Art Exhibition Centre . Lin Fan appeared at the entrance and gasped . Yue Qiu Ju Shi was extremely serious this time . The event was grand . There was still some time before the event started and he was taking his time . He opened Weibo . He was stunned when he saw Jin Xuan Ming's news . The Internet was filled with Jin Xuan Ming's news . They all talked about how he wanted to perform even though he was unwell . The way the author wrote the news was a little off-putting . 'It's for the fans . No matter what happened, it doesn't change a thing . It's just to meet the fans . 'To Lin Fan, this sentence seemed like him showing off . However, these hardcore fans would probably believe in him . The fans actually commented on the articles even before anything was finalized . It was ridiculous . "Xuan Ming oppa, we love you . ""No matter what happens, we're on your side . ""The trials and challenges will not defeat our Xuan Ming oppa . "When he saw these comments, Lin Fan didn't know what to say at all . His fingers tapped the screen for a moment and he hesitated . He was thinking if he should post his comment . After all, he didn't want to argue with the fans as he would never win against such stupid people . He'd probably just be infuriated to death . However, he still posted it after thinking about what had happened . "Stupid fans, the world is a dangerous place . " Lin Fan immediately kept his phone in his pocket after posting that . Jin Xuan Ming's fans didn't know what that meant but Lin Fan was their enemy and they didn't want to let go of any chance to roast him . It was about time . He entered the art exhibition . Anyone could enter this place but they had to be thoroughly checked for any contraband items before entry was permitted . Initially, there had been no need for these checks . However, one of the artworks was Yue Qiu Ju Shi's most precious one and he had to be cautious about it . Over there, there were a lot of art lovers . They looked at the artworks on the walls and nodded . Those that didn't appreciate art just looked at the artworks briefly but those that could appreciate it didn't just look at the different strokes . They also experienced the feelings that the artworks were trying to convey . Lin Fan didn't immediately look for Yue Qiu Ju Shi and the rest . He walked around and was listening to the whispers of those that were looking at the artworks . "Yue Qiu Ju Shi's 'Hundred flowers fighting to bloom' is a pretty good piece . It has exquisite strokes . ""This artwork is pretty good too . ""I saw a really exquisite piece just now, 'A hundred birds looking up to the phoenix', done by Master Lin . It's the best piece of artwork around here . You guys should have a look . ""Really?""Of course . I mean it . "Then, Lin Fan interrupted, "I saw that artwork too . It's unbelievable . Although this Master Lin isn't a famous artist, I believe this artwork could be the best of the century . It will definitely have a high value in the future . ""Really? I want to go and have a look . ""Me too . "Lin Fan smiled as he saw them walk towards it . He felt great bragging about his own work . No one knew that it was drawn by him . "Master Lin . " Then, a familiar voice came . Lin Fan took a glance . "Master Yue Qiu and Master Tao . "Master Yue Qiu smiled . "Master Lin, why didn't you tell us that you've arrived?"Lin Fan waved his hand . "I'm just looking around first . ""Come, I'll let you meet some of my old friends . They really want to meet a grandmaster like you," Yue Qiu Ju Shi said as he smiled . He felt that he had met someone special this time . A lot of people saw the 'Hundred birds looking up to the phoenix' artwork and every single one of them thought of buying it . Furthermore, they felt extremely pressured . It was as if they felt that they couldn't leave without buying it . However, Yue Qiu Ju Shi wasn't going to sell it . He wanted this artwork to be a hereditary treasure and he had bought insurance for it already . "You're too courteous . " Lin Fan smiled . It was all about praising each other's works when art lovers met . However, it felt great . People of his age were hanging out with other youngsters but he was already conversing with the elderly about serious matters . Yue Qiu Ju Shi turned and looked extremely happy . Perhaps it was the most successful art exhibition he had ever organized . Those that had come to look at the artworks all stopped before Master Lin's artwork . They all gasped in awe . It was obvious that they thought extremely highly of that artwork . In the private room . When Lin Fan entered, the few elderly men looked at Lin Fan and then they turned to Yue Qiu Ju Shi and Tao Shi Gang . It was as if they were enquiring about him . Yue Qiu Ju Shi smiled . "This is Master Lin, the one you've been wanting to meet . "The few elderly men that were discussing amongst themselves stood up and were in disbelief . They hadn't expected Master Lin to be so young . It was simply unbelievable . One of the elderly men smiled . "Young and capable . How extraordinary . Nice to meet you, Master Lin . ""Hi . " Lin Fan smiled and shook his hand . He looked at him and said, "You've been in the military all your life and you only started drawing in the later years of your life . It's indeed a good way to reinvigorate yourself . "The elderly man was stunned . "Master Lin, you recognize me?"Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, "Nope, but I kinda know how to read fortunes by looking at facial appearances . "He didn't just 'kinda' know how to read fortunes by looking at one's face . He could know a lot about someone just by looking at their face . Yue Qiu Ju Shi introduced, "Master Lin, let me introduce him . He's a former military chief but he's the president of our a.s.sociation, Zheng Zhong Shan . "Then, he continued to introduce the other elderly men and Lin Fan shook their hands . They were all in love with his artwork but it was a pity that Yue Qiu Ju Shi treated it as his most precious treasure . He didn't want to give it to anyone . It was a headache for them but now that they could see the artist of that artwork, they were satisfied . At the same time, they thought of something as well .
