Ye Zhuo's eyes were fixed in the air, with a look of astonishment on his face. He couldn't believe his ears. Did he hear it wrong just now?
The maid said that no one was recognized by the Painting Fairy tonight.
Is she kidding, or is she serious?
"Fairy, is what she just said true?" Ye Zhuo looked at Fairy Hua and asked, wanting to confirm again.
He stood at the end, and no one in the audience could match him. How could such a dazzling performance not be recognized by the Painting Fairy?
He didn't believe it.
"Her words are what I mean." An ethereal voice came out, and it was the Painting Fairy who spoke.
Ye Zhuo's expression immediately froze when he heard this voice, his mind went blank, and the words painted by Fairy Painting just now echoed in his mind.
This time, he couldn't help but not believe it.
At this time, the crowd was also shocked. They all saw Ye Zhuo's performance, but they were not recognized by the Painting Fairy. It seemed that her vision was higher than they imagined.
"Why?" Ye Zhuo murmured to himself, his eyes full of unwillingness.
If he lost to others and was not recognized, he would be convinced, but the fact is that he defeated everyone, why wouldn't Fairy Painting recognize his strength?
His expression suddenly froze, and a possibility appeared in his mind.
Perhaps, the painted fairy was deliberately targeting him.
Her brother overshadowed her, so she felt resentful, but she could not retaliate against her brother, so she vented her anger on him. Even though he showed extraordinary strength, she still did not recognize his strength and made him embarrassed in public.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhuo's eyes suddenly turned cold, he stared at the painting fairy and asked: "The fairy doesn't recognize my strength, I have nothing to say, but please give me a reason, and make me convinced."
"You are not convinced." Many people looked at Ye Zhuo one after another, with somewhat exciting expressions on their faces.
Although Ye Zhuo's words were polite, anyone could tell that he was a little dissatisfied with the decision to draw the fairy, so he wanted to ask for a reason.
Everyone can understand Ye Zhuo's thoughts. After all, he comes from the Ye family and has an older brother like Ye Xinghe. He has a halo of his own. Even though he defeated all his opponents, he is still not recognized. If it were anyone else, he would Not convinced.
It is reasonable to ask for a reason.
"It's interesting." On the arch bridge, Ren Tiange showed an interesting look. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen again. The young master of the Ye family was so persistent that he was afraid he would be slapped in the face.
After all, whether you approve it or not all depends on the subjective will of the painting fairy. No matter how talented you are, if she doesn't approve it, what can you do to her?
At this time, Fairy Painting looked at Ye Zhuo and said calmly: "You have a good talent, but there is someone here who is more talented than you, so he did not get my recognition."
After the painting fairy's voice fell, the whole place fell into silence.
Most people had a look of astonishment on their faces. The painting fairy's answer was beyond their expectations and even beyond their comprehension.
The painting fairy said that there was someone present who was more talented than Ye Zhuo, so Ye Zhuo was not recognized.
But Ye Zhuo is the one standing at the end. Who is more talented than him?
The reason for painting fairies is really hard to explain.
A cold light flashed in Ye Zhuo's eyes, and he was even more sure that Fairy Hua was targeting him. He even said such a reason in public. Did he think he was easy to bully?
"Since the fairy thinks that there is someone more talented than me, I would like to ask the fairy to point out who that person is so that I can learn about his strength." Ye Zhuo said loudly, and he deliberately emphasized the word "learn". Obviously, he was not just a simple person. of learning.
He wanted to see who the painting fairy was interested in.
Seeing that Ye Zhuo's eyes were extremely sharp and he seemed unwilling to give up easily, Fairy Hua looked towards a direction on the arch bridge, which was where Zhou Jing and the others were.
Seeing that the Painting Fairy seemed to be looking at them, Zhou Jing raised his brows slightly and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Could it be that it was seen?
The crowd followed the painting fairy's line of sight, and finally gathered at the location of Zhou Jing and the others. Many people looked curiously, was it one of the three of them?
Feng Ziyu also looked over there. When he saw Zhou Jing's figure, his face couldn't help but become a little weird. The person the painting fairy was talking about couldn't be him.
"The person in the middle is more talented than you." Fairy Painting looked at Ye Zhuo again and said.
After hearing this, Zhou Jing's expression suddenly changed. Was he really discovered?
For a time, countless eyes fell on Zhou Jing, with various expressions including surprise, curiosity, and confusion.
Feng Ziyu is a puzzled person. He fought against Zhou Jing and defeated him without using all his strength. This shows that Zhou Jing is even less likely to be Ye Zhuo's opponent.
Unless Zhou Jing hid his strength when he fought against him before.
But this possibility is too small. After all, the purpose of participating in the competition is to gain the approval of the Painting Fairy. Who would deliberately admit defeat?
Ye Zhuo glanced at Zhou Jing with his sharp eyes and spoke proudly: "Since Fairy Painting thinks that your talent is inferior to mine, then let's fight."
Many people looked at Ye Zhuo, understanding the intention of his move. As long as they defeated this person, they would be a slap in Fairy Hua's face and prove their strength in public.
Zhou Jing looked at the painting fairy on the boat with some confusion.
Since she saw that he was hiding his strength, she should have guessed that he didn't want to get into a fight, but she still pointed him out in public, thus pointing Ye Zhuo's finger at him. How would this end for him?
Whether he fights or not fights, it is not good for him.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Jing turned to Ye Zhuo, cupped his hands and said, "Young master Ye is extremely talented and has extraordinary swordsmanship. I feel inferior to you, so I will not show my shame in public."
Leng Wuyun and Ren Tiange glanced at Zhou Jing at the same time, with some admiration in their eyes. This guy can really endure it.
Zhou Jing's face was calm and composed, and he didn't feel any shame at all, just because he didn't care about other people's opinions. He took a step back and the world was vast, so why bother to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.
After hearing Zhou Jing's words, the expressions on the faces of the crowd suddenly became much more exciting.
The Painting Fairy said that this person was more talented than Ye Zhuo, but Ye Zhuo invited this person to fight, but the person refused to accept it. This was simply a slap in the Painting Fairy's face.
Many people looked at Hua Xianzi, as if they wanted to see how she would explain next.
"The person the fairy is interested in seems to be not very good." Ye Zhuo looked at the painting fairy and said, his tone no longer as polite as before, with a hint of sarcasm.
After all, it was the Painting Fairy who targeted him first. If he tolerated it any longer, it would be a joke.
The Painting Fairy did not respond to Ye Zhuo's words, but looked at Zhou Jing, with a strange look in his beautiful eyes. This man's mind was so aloof, far beyond ordinary people in the same situation.
Seeing the painting fairy looking at him, Zhou Jing was worried that something might happen, so he said to Leng Wuyun and Ren Tiange, "Let's go."
"Okay." They both nodded at the same time.
Seeing the three people turning around and leaving, the Painting Fairy's eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "I planned to paint for you, but if you leave, you will miss this opportunity."
"This..." Countless people's eyes suddenly froze, as if they heard extremely incredible words.
The painting fairy actually planned to paint for that person!
No one had ever received such treatment before, and he had already lost, but the Painting Fairy still painted for him, which could be said to have set a precedent for him.
But how could that person be?
Ye Zhuo's face was extremely angry. He was invincible, but the painting fairy turned a blind eye and was willing to paint for a failed person. This was a great humiliation for him.
Zhou Jing and others, who had already taken a few steps, heard the voice coming from behind, and their expressions froze. Ren Tiange said in an unhappy tone: "Did this woman do this on purpose?"
"It doesn't matter so much, let's go." Zhou Jing said in a deep voice, speeding up a bit. The top priority was to stay away from this land of right and wrong.
"stop!"
The next moment, a cold shout came from behind. Zhou Jing and the others stopped. Looking back, they saw Ye Zhuo coming through the air, looking at them condescendingly.
At the same time, some figures walked out from the crowd and surrounded the three of Zhou Jing. They were the strong men of the Ye family.
"Master Ye, what do you mean?" Zhou Jing looked at Ye Zhuo in confusion.
"Leave after the battle." Ye Zhuo said coldly.
"I already gave up just now, why bother fighting again." Zhou Jing responded, feeling something bad in his heart. Ye Zhuo was very angry. If he didn't defeat him in public, he might not give up easily.
"It's okay if you don't want to fight. Kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I'll let you go." Ye Zhuo let out an unruly voice, his eyes sharp.
He wanted everyone here to see how humble the person the Painting Fairy liked was in front of him.
Zhou Jing's eyes finally turned cold, and he would kowtow without fighting. Are people from the Ye family so domineering?
The expressions of Leng Wuyun and Ren Tiange on the side also became colder, and their auras faintly filled the air, ready to take action at any time.
"You go first, I'll stay to deal with him." Zhou Jing said to the two of them.
"Are you kidding?" Ren Tiange frowned a little. In this kind of battle, Zhou Jing's life would be in danger if they left.
"This is the best way at the moment. When you go back, tell the palace master. There is still a chance to rescue me. Otherwise, the three of us will not be able to escape." Zhou Jing said in a deep voice, his expression looking extremely solemn.
"Okay, let's go back." Leng Wuyun made a decision immediately. The other party had a large number of people, and it would be useless for the two of them to stay.
Zhou Jing looked at Ye Zhuo in the sky and said, "Since Mr. Ye wants to fight with me so much, I will accept the challenge. But can you let my two friends leave first?"
Hearing this, Ye Zhuo glanced at Leng Wuyun and Ren Tiange, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"Let's go." Zhou Jing looked at the two of them and said, his eyes containing a hint of deep meaning.
The two of them didn't say anything more, and left in a flash. The strong men of the Ye family didn't stop them. They were just two high-ranking figures, so don't take it to heart.
