Otherworldly Carver

There are still eight full days before the competition.

The strange thing is that Ye Ling didn't just stay at home and sculpt, but took Wen Ran out for a walk.Time was so tight, Ye Ling still had leisure time to watch the sheep-shaped orcs polish the wooden boards used for building houses, and watched with great interest all day long.

After receiving the notification from his subordinates, Lan Baker frowned slightly.

With such a laid-back appearance, does that Ye Ling really not care about winning or losing, really doesn't care about losing the qualification to sculpt?Or because they couldn't find a suitable emerald, the other party simply decided to smash it?

For some reason, Lan Baker felt a little uneasy.

Lan Xi has been outstanding since he was a child, and he is cared for and affirmed by the stars in the family. Anyone who mentions his younger brother Lan Xi will give a thumbs up and say genius.But seeing Ji Ji's carved jade that day, it was the first time Lan Baker saw what a real genius is!

If it was that sculptor, maybe any miracle could happen...

Thinking of this, Lan Baker had a plan in his mind.He was about to get up to do some important things, but he heard Lanxi open the door of the studio upstairs, and almost staggered downstairs to pick up the water glass.

After a day and a night of carving in the studio without eating or sleeping, Lanxi's face was very haggard and pale.Lan Baking looked at such a embarrassed younger brother with a trace of displeasure on his face.

"Go eat something, wash your face, and clean yourself up!" Lan Bao hated his younger brother's slovenly appearance when he was immersed in sculpting. Sculpting all depends on talent. If you don't have talent, no matter how hard you work, it's useless!He couldn't hide the disgust in his heart when he spoke, "Looking at you, how can you look like a sub-orc from a big family?"

"Huh?" Lanxi has long been used to his elder brother's way of speaking, but no matter how many times, this kind of indifferent tone will hurt his heart. He deliberately raised his face to reveal the dark circles on his face, Lanxi smiled mockingly Say, "It's fine for you to be clean, why worry about me? Besides, no matter how dirty I am, I'm cleaner than you!"

This little brother really gets bigger and more disobedient!Lan Baking frowned and asked coldly, "How is your carving?"

"I just picked up the outline." When it came to carving, Lanxi answered any questions. He thought for a while, bit his lip and said, "I will definitely do my best!"

"Of course you want to win!" Lan Baker said coldly, "If you lose, you will really lose the qualification to carve, then there is no need for the Lan family to keep you. At that time, except for marriage, you will lose all the value of use! "

"Huh? The value of using it?" Lan Xi threw the water glass on the ground suddenly, and said sarcastically, "Is this what you said to your biological brother?"

"I am the head of the family first, and then your brother." Lan Baker closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked at Lanxi with a rare frankness on his face, "Of course, if you are obedient and willing to do things for Lan Xi The Lan family is fighting for their interests, and the Lan family is also your backing!"

Lan Xi didn't want to talk anymore, he walked upstairs with a cold snort, and closed the door of the studio hard.

And right now at Wen's house...

Ye Ling and Wen Ran came back with a polished wooden board. Ye Ling directed Wen Ran to put the board into the workshop and carefully put it down against the corner of the wall.

Wen Ran finally couldn't help it anymore: "Ye Ling, what's the use of this?"

"This is..." Ye Ling thought for a while, but decided not to tell Wen Ran first, and continued to say, "You will know on the day of the competition."

"If this is going to be a base for an ornament, it's probably too big..." Wen Ran was really puzzled.

"You saw it on the day of the competition..." Ye Ling smiled, "I will try my best."

Wen Ran nodded, lowered her head and was stunned for a while, as if hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ling asked.

"My brother...he can't transform..." Wen Ran said suddenly.

"I know this." Ye Ling wondered why Wen Ran suddenly mentioned this.

"I kept it from you because I was worried that you would dislike my brother..." Wen Ran looked at Ye Ling, and suddenly wanted to cry. He barely held back and said, "My brother will be 22 years old in seven days..."

"Really? So he's so young..." Ye Ling blinked, wondering if he wanted to prepare a birthday present.

"Ye Ling, you don't understand what I mean..." Wen Ran raised his head and said, "Most orcs transform before the age of 22, and the chance of transforming after the age of 22 can be said to be very small...Ye Ling, my brother is very Maybe I won’t be able to change form for the rest of my life!”

"So what?" Ye Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that I am with him because I expect him to transform within these seven days? If I care about this, why would I choose him?"

Wen Ran was completely stunned there.

"Wen Ran, do you know what I hate about you the most?" Ye Ling asked with a smile on his face.

"I, I don't know..." Wen Ran's face turned pale when he thought of his attitude towards Ye Ling in the past.

"I hate you the most, although you love your brother very much, but you always have a deep-rooted belief that you can't change your form and be inferior to others!" Ye Ling's tone was rarely serious, and he looked into Wen Ran's eyes and said, "Your brother Wen Yu, He has never felt inferior because he couldn't change form! I heard that your father is also an orc who can't change form, do your parents look down on your father like this?"

Never expecting Ye Ling to say that, Wen Ran was dumbfounded!

"So, don't say such things in front of your brother again, and don't worry about those things he can't change." Ye Ling said, "I think Wen Yu is more worried about your body than not being able to change form. One thought A younger brother who is too heavy is a bigger burden for him than not being able to change form."

Wen Ran suddenly covered his face and wept. He had to admit that he was persuaded by Ye Ling.

"Don't cry, I don't like the fact that you cry all the time." A bit helpless, but Ye Ling still comforted, "That's why you are in such bad health. You are obviously very beautiful, so you should smile more in the future. This way, Gao Yuan will also like it. I am going to sculpt now, and you have to work hard!"

After a long silence, Wen Ran said sincerely, "Ye Ling, thank you..."

Ye Ling smiled.

"I won't bother you anymore," Wen Ran walked out of the house slowly, and finally said, "I will work hard..."

After Wen Ran left, Ye Ling stood up and walked to the side of the imperial green jadeite.

In fact, although this piece of jadeite was completely shattered, according to Ye Ling's standards, it was not a complete waste.Many small pieces of jadeite can be made into jadeite pendants, which are very good for carving or inlaying. Smaller pieces can be made into jadeite cabochons, inlaid into rings and bracelets, not to mention some relatively large pieces may be hollowed out. Emerald tag, in short, this piece of jade is still very valuable.

But in the eyes of the sculptors of the orc world, this is indeed a complete piece of waste.None of the sculptors in the beastman world would use such an expensive material as emerald to make decorations, nor would they be willing to work hard.In short, everything is to enhance the strength of the orc warriors, and this kind of sporadic and bulk materials can only be thrown away.

But Ye Ling felt that since carving can stimulate the energy inside the jadeite, the carving itself must be beautiful and moving.Since jadeite beads can be strung together and used as a complete carving to be graded and used, why can't this piece of jadeite be used?

He wants to try, must try!

Carefully breaking open the emerald, Ye Ling felt excited when he saw the moving green and transparent beauty of the emerald.You must know that in his world, jadeite materials are also extremely precious, and no sculptor is willing to use such good materials to make the work he is about to make in his hand. Ye Ling is actually very happy to have such an opportunity.

He is sure that this work will amaze everyone, and he will win!

For the next few days, apart from eating and sleeping, Ye Ling stayed in the studio for the rest of the time.On the way, he went out a few times, took a few pieces of wood, and cut a piece of flannelette for clothes... No one knew what he was going to do, even if Wen Yu asked, Ye Ling still smiled and didn't say anything.

It was almost the day of the competition, and the day before was Wen Yu's and Wen Ran's birthdays.

At Gao Yuan's suggestion, the four of them found a place to have a good meal.After drinking two cups, Gao Yuan embraced Wen Ran and kissed him. Wen Ran blushed with shame, and kicked Gao Yuan under the table, but Gao Yuan slipped directly under the table.Seeing this, Ye Ling burst into laughter and didn't recover for a long time.

Wen Yu looked at all this with a faint smile, and suddenly felt very happy, so happy that he no longer expected anything more at this moment.As long as he quietly looked at Ye Ling's smiling face like this, he felt indescribably satisfied.

After dinner, the four of them went back together.The cold wind blew Gao Yuan sobered up, blinking his eyes and frowning, he asked, "Little Ye Zi, you will have a competition tomorrow, what kind of work did you make?"

"Oh, speaking of this, I need you and Wen Yu to help me move the work to the Carver Association tomorrow." Ye Ling said, "It's a bit big."

"What?" Gao Yuan was a little surprised, "Where did you find such a big emerald? You need two orcs to carry it?"

"This..." Ye Ling smiled and said, "You will know tomorrow."

"Anyway, no matter what you do, you are better than Lan Xi from the Lan family!" After Gao Yuan's mouth froze, he looked at Wen Yu and said, "Um, I mean, your Ye Ling will definitely win..."

"Don't be so careful, I don't care anymore..." Wen Yu looked at Gao Yuan a little funny and said, "You really think too much."

Looking at Ye Ling, Gao Yuan thought that was the case, this was much better than Lan Xi...

The four arrived home soon, Gao Yuan hugged Wen Ran and kissed him again, then said goodbye and went home.Wen Ran couldn't take it anymore, so Ye Ling arranged for him to go to bed first.

After Wen Ran lay down, Ye Ling took out his pocket, threw a small box to Wen Yu and said, "Here, this is your birthday present."

Wen Yu was taken aback, and opened the small box to see that a small jade pendant was lying quietly in the small box.The jadeite is carved into a cute little gourd, delicate and small, with a string that can be worn directly around the neck.The emerald is dark green in color and crystal clear. It is a piece of top-quality imperial green emerald, the glass variety!

"Is this the piece of top-quality imperial green?" Wen Yu was very moved. He immediately put the pendant around his neck, touched and touched it lovingly, but couldn't help laughing and said, "Time is so tight, how can you still pay attention to it?" Carve a gift for me? Isn't it too hard?"

"No, it's just a little effort." Ye Ling smiled.In the next second, he couldn't hold back any longer, dragged Wen Yu into the studio, pointed to the works he was proud of and said, "Look!"

After getting to know Ye Ling, Wen Yu has seen Ye Ling's special works many times. He once thought that no matter what kind of works, he would not be able to make him show a surprised expression.But when he saw the work in front of him, he was completely stunned!
