After hearing Yan Qing's words, Gu Zhao looked a little strange.

Yan Qing noticed this and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Sister, do you not believe it, or do you want to compete with me?"

When saying the latter sentence, the expression on Yan Qing's face became somewhat unfriendly, but it turned into a sneer in the blink of an eye.

What was the point of her telling Gu Zhao all this? Gu Zhao was just someone the Su family had just brought back from outside. She probably couldn't even understand a painting, so how could she understand the value of Master Karenville's works?

Not to mention competing with her.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing felt less wary of Gu Zhao and even more contemptuous of him.

Gu Zhao obviously saw the meaning of Yan Qing's expression. Her eyes flashed, but she didn't explain.

She had never thought of competing with Yan Qing for anything, whether it was the concern of the Su family or the quota that Yan Qing thought of this time.

If possible, Gu Zhao would rather give Yan Qing everything she wanted.

But when the teacher accepted her as his disciple, he did say that he would not accept any more disciples.

Gu Zhao frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that things were becoming a little tricky.

During these days, Gu Zhao naturally knew that Qingqing really wanted to get guidance from the teacher, but the place had already been reserved.

Gu Zhao even knew clearly that the purpose of the teacher holding the art exhibition was to introduce her to some connections.

But she didn't want to let Qingqing's hopes go to waste.

Now the only way is to persuade the teacher to accept another disciple.

But the teacher's affairs were not something she could control, so she could only do her best.

Just as Gu Zhao was thinking this, he saw the girl in front of him suddenly frowned, her eyes moved around, as if she was looking around for something.

Before Gu Zhao could ask what Yan Qing was looking for, the girl's eyes fell on her face: "Have you seen my painting?"

Gu Zhao paused, avoiding Yan Qing's gaze, his voice still as calm as ever: "No."

Hearing this, Yan Qing ignored her and naturally did not notice the strange look that flashed across Gu Zhao's face.

She recalled in her mind the trajectory of her actions after returning to the Su family, but still found nothing.

Yan Qing stood there wondering whether he took the painting when he left Karenville.

Or did it fall on Chi Jianzhou's car.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing took out his cell phone and called Chi Jianzhou.

The phone was picked up after just one ring. Even through the slight electric sound, it was easy to hear the gentle tone in Chi Jianzhou's voice.

"Qingqing."

This was indeed the case. Chi Jianzhou was originally looking at some news about Karenville on his mobile phone. Apart from his identity that was known to everyone, he gained nothing more in-depth.

Moreover, just by touching on Karenville's public identity, there were no less than three waves of warnings and obstructions from various forces.

It seems that Karenville's true identity is far more complicated than he thought.

Chi Jianzhou looked a little gloomy. Karenville was like a time bomb. No matter what, he would not allow such an uncontrollable factor to stay around Qingqing.

The more he was blocked, the more he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.

Chi Jianzhou's myriad thoughts disappeared when he heard the special ringtone he set on his cell phone.

Even the sinister look in his eyes was replaced by a faint smile, and the corners of his lips were quietly raised unconsciously.

He answered the phone almost without thinking, and forgot about Karenville and other things.

Yan Qing was unaware of Chi Jianzhou's emotional changes. She asked the question that concerned her: "Brother Jianzhou, when we left Master Karenville, did we take the painting with us?"

Hearing the words "Karenville", Chi Jianzhou's smile faded for a moment, but soon his attention was attracted by the second half of Yan Qing's sentence.

He frowned and thought for a while. At that time, he was distracted by Karenville's attitude towards Qingqing. When he came back, he should not have anything in his hands. So it seems that the painting should have fallen into Karenville's hands.

"It may have been left with Master Karenville. Is there something important in it? Qingqing, do you need me to go back with you to get it?"

Yan Qing was silent. There was nothing particularly important about the painting. It just had 012's cat mimicry on it. He liked her very much and even told Yan Qing that he would bring her back to the Space-Time Administration after leaving this small world.

At that time, Yan Qing would take the painting to go through the scene, because in the original plot, although the meeting was not pleasant, Karenville was not interested in it and naturally would not open the painting she brought.

That's why Yan Qing took it to make up the number. Now, Karenville had indeed not opened it in front of her, just like in the original plot. Instead, she herself forgot to bring it back.

All she could say was that Karenville was the person she had met before when she was on a mission, and this incident still had a great impact on her.

Facing Chi Jianzhou's concerned tone on the other end of the phone, Yan Qing regained his composure and made an excuse, "Nothing, I'm just worried that the painting is too bad and will leave a bad impression on Master Karenville, so I want to send him a different one."

Hearing this, Chi Jianzhou also put aside the suspicion in his heart. He chuckled, "How could that be? Qingqing underestimates me."

After saying this, Chi Jianzhou continued, "But if Qingqing wants to change a painting, that's fine. I'll have someone send the new painting to Master Karenville in a few days. You should avoid having too much contact with Master Karenville recently..."

Yan Qingwei paused, and naturally understood Chi Jianzhou's unspoken concerns.

It's just that in the eyes of others, Karenville has mistaken someone.

Therefore, Yan Qing smiled and said, "I know, thank you, Brother Jianzhou..."

After talking about painting, the two chatted about something else on the phone.

Gu Zhao had no idea what it was exactly. She stood there and stared at Yan Qing, her brows which had quietly relaxed tightened again.

It’s Chi Jianzhou again.

This guy is more or less an eyesore.

Gu Zhao's eyes darkened a little, but he regained his composure in an instant.

She actually noticed the paintings that Yan Qing and Chi Jianzhou placed in the living room.

When leaving the hotel, Gu Zhao wanted to take the painting with him.

However, Gu Zhao suddenly remembered her previous guess about Yan Qing's mental state because of this painting.

This time, Gu Zhao had originally wanted to take this opportunity to let Karenville take a look for her, but Karenville's intense reaction after seeing Yan Qing caught her off guard.

During the whole process, I didn't find a chance to talk about this matter with Karenville.

At that time, keeping the painting was a good choice, so Gu Zhao didn't remind him.

Now it’s time to ask the teacher to help her. Thinking of this, Gu Zhao turned around and went back to the room to prepare to contact Karenville.
