The daily life of the villain

Chapter 259 Portrait
Seeing this, Qiao Youxue didn't ask any more questions, and began to look at the room. At the same time, Liao Qin walked towards the back of the screen with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in her hand, and said to Wu Xing, "Young master, don't be nervous, just relax. That's it."

Behind the screen, Zi Mei picked up the pen and began to outline the shape on the paper. She raised her eyes to look at Wu Xing's face outside the screen, but she couldn't help but glance at Qiao Youxue's direction.

This woman, the feeling she gave her was really strange.

Qiao Youxue looked back from the portraits on the four walls, slowly looked in the direction of the screen, and smiled with the corners of her lips curled up: "The ghost painter is not showing up, I don't know whether you are a male painter or not." It's a woman."

From the moment he came in, the ghost painter asked the maid beside him to pass the message on his behalf. He didn't make a sound at all. It seemed that he wanted to hide his identity. It was rumored that the ghost painter was a man. If it was a man, why would he bother? To cover up?
After hearing Qiao Youxue's question, the person behind the screen did not speak, but Liao Qin smiled and replied: "The painter doesn't want the outside world to know too much about him, as long as people in Asia and Europe know that he is a superb painter, they are satisfied." , so please forgive me that the artist cannot answer this question."

Qiao Youxue smiled faintly, but did not speak, her eyes slowly lowered.

She has been searching since she entered the Yanluo Pavilion, but she has never found the figure of Fandie. Didn't she come here, or did she leave long ago?
Suddenly Liao Qin walked into the screen, came out after a while, looked at Qiao Youxue and said, "Young lady is just sitting here, why don't I take you to the first floor for some refreshments."

Qiao Youxue slowly raised her eyes, looked at Liao Qin with a smile and said, "No need, I'm not hungry, and there is such a great opportunity to see the ghost painter painting, how could I leave so easily."

Hearing this, Zi Mei behind the screen frowned tightly, and a light flashed in her eyes.

This person is so difficult to deal with, that's all, left and right is just a late stage of foundation establishment, nothing to be afraid of.

Zi Mei exhaled lightly, and then continued to paint.

In the city lord's mansion, Bi An curiously opened the scroll on the table, looked at the portrait, and his face changed immediately.

"Brother Axiong! Brother Axiong! According to Miss Xue's order, we went to check the cultivation of those who died in the inn, and accidentally discovered that they all have one thing in common!"

In another yard, a monk reported to Axiong.

Ah Xiong's expression changed immediately, and he asked quickly, "What do you have in common?"

The man quickly replied: "They all asked the ghost painter in Yuecheng to paint! In the early morning of the day when the crime happened, I heard that a very famous ghost painter in Yuecheng suddenly visited the inn and made a painting for every resident in the inn. Made a painting for free."

"The Snow Maiden?" Ah Xiong frowned suddenly.

"Oh, Snow Maiden and her maid stayed at the inn at night, so they didn't catch up with the ghost painter to paint." The monk replied.

Hearing this, Ah Xiong's eyes moved slightly, if this is the case, then Xiao Yuan...

It was as if a knife had been pierced into his heart. At the beginning when he paid the salary, he wanted to prepare a surprise for Xiao Yuan, so he took her to Yanluo Pavilion to find a ghost painter to paint. If the murder had something to do with that painting, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Come here, go to the Yanluo Pavilion." After Ah Xiong finished speaking, he walked straight out of the mansion, but just as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Bi An running over in a hurry, holding a painting in his arms , Ah Xiong paused slightly, then stopped her halfway and asked, "What are you doing?"

Although Bi An didn't have a good impression of A Xiong, but at this time she was the only one she could ask him, so she said, "My master is going to find the whereabouts of the butterfly. Do you know where the master is now? I have something important to look for thing."

Axiong's eyes moved slightly, and then he said: "Wu Xing sent a message earlier, saying that Fendie had been lost, but they chased all the way to the Yanluo Pavilion, which is the territory of the ghost painter."

"Ghost painter?" Bi An frowned. Although he had never heard of this name, he looked at Axiong and shouted, "Hurry up and take me there, don't delay my master's affairs!"

After hearing the words of the other side, A Xiong's eyes flashed a trace of annoyance. The little maid next to Snow Maiden was too barbaric. She ordered him directly without asking if there was anything important. If it wasn't for him now The place he was anxious to rush to was also Yan Rao Pavilion, he definitely wanted to throw this arrogant little girl out of the City Lord's Mansion, although it was uncertain whether he could beat her.

Ah Xiong glanced at the other side impatiently, and then said: "Follow."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the door, but Bi'an didn't notice the impatience in his tone. At this time, he was full of telling Qiao Youxue what he found, and didn't care about Axiong at all, so he quickly followed.

In the room, Qiao Youxue looked at a painting hanging on a wall, then stood up from the futon, then picked up her steps and walked towards the painting.

Seeing that Qiao Youxue stood up and walked towards the screen, Liao Qin's expression changed immediately, and she hurried over: "Girl!"

As soon as her voice fell, Qiao Youxue's figure stopped in front of a portrait. It turned out that she didn't want to go behind the screen to see Zi Mei's true face. Liao Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and her face A moment of embarrassment.

Qiao Youxue turned her head and glanced at her, then asked, "What's wrong?"

Liao Qin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the painting that Qiao Youxue was admiring, and then said: "If you like it, girl, you can buy this painting by paying Lingshi."

"Oh?" Qiao Youxue's eyes moved slightly, as if interested, she turned around and looked at Liao Qin, and said slowly, "Then what are the prices of these paintings?"

Liao Qin's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "These...these are all the sketches of the ghost painter. If the girl has the heart, she can collect ten high-grade spirit stones for each painting."

"Ten high-grade spirit stones," Qiao Youxue chuckled, then turned her head to look at the picture, and said flatly, "It's a bit expensive."

Behind the screen, Zi Mei's eyes were fixed on Qiao Youxue's figure, all the ink on the brush dripped onto the painting before she knew it, and the ink returned all the things she had just drawn.

When she came back to her senses, she looked down at her devastated painting, her heart skipped a beat, and then she frowned fiercely.
