ps: I originally wanted to have two more chapters, but after reading the comments in the book review area, OK, I'd better reveal the answer to the mystery in advance. Sometimes, the thread is buried too long and too deep, which makes me feel uncomfortable!

These two days of sketching have not been easy.

Although Li Yi's current level is not bad, he has good ink and painting techniques. Therefore, not long after he started painting the boneless landscape, he discovered that he must have been taken to the ditch by his master.

Although he was not sure why he was very talented in calligraphy and painting and was able to control his muscles easily, some things that didn’t work are not enough.

Especially for painting skills, things that require sudden enlightenment but require a lot of boring and repeated practice, they are really not something that can be done just by trying to get started.

Therefore, after painting for a long time, looking at the terrible scene, he resolutely decided to abandon the boneless method. Even if the artistic conception of the painting is worse, he would complete the homework first.

It was just a boneless method that I had no choice but to try, but now I'm back on the old path of no choice. The quality of Li Yi's two paintings is naturally conceivable.

If some of his previous works have crossed that threshold and reached the level of entering the house, these two works, from his own perspective, are still quite far from that threshold, let alone Mr. Hu.

Similarly, things like gardenia and pomegranate flowers that rarely appear in fine-brushed flower and bird paintings are obviously impossible for Zhong Qi to reach the pinnacle of their paintings in just two days.

So, the two finally knew what Hu Jinquan said that the meaning of letting them pass the level as long as the painting was not too bad. This meaning is that you can pass the level, and the time will be added, but it is not 5 hours, but 2 hours that are very humane and care-oriented.

"Two hours or take care of me? If I hadn't had the previous 10 hours of foundation, I wouldn't say nonsense, but now I've deducted the time to eat and go to the bathroom, and the actual sleep time is less than 8 hours. It's so pitiful!"

After getting the result, Zhong Qi began to complain secretly.

"No, it takes 4 hours for you to eat and go to the toilet? One hour is enough, right? Besides, I think it's almost enough to sleep for 6 hours a day. At worst, I can find a day to concentrate on sleeping..."

"Stop, I understand. It turns out that you are here to help the evildoer..."

After more than twenty days, the time for the two of them to practice basic skills every day increased to 16 hours without any surprise. Now, even Li Yi felt the difficulty and even went to the toilet, he ran away and returned.

When their practice focus finally shifted to the start of preparing works for the competition, it was time for Lu Ningshuang to return to France, which finally gave them a chance to breathe and have a day off.

"Damn it, it's really terrible to be in custody. No, I must win the first prize!"

Walking out of the studio, Zhong Qi looked at the sun hanging in the sky and waved his fist vigorously.

"How likely do you think it is?"

Li Yi's words were like a needle, and the balloon that poked Zhong Qi leaked out with a sneer. He scratched his scalp and tugged with teeth.

"We are attacking, and others are attacking too. What's more, if painting is useful if it is so hard to practice, then painting will be worthless and the painter will be worthless..."

With a sigh, this guy turned his head and looked at the studio door.

"We can't win the first prizes of the last class. After reading the works of the first prizes of the first prizes, I found that their level has always been almost at the same level that reached the threshold of the second step. I knew that even if there were no opponents, we two would not be able to win the first prize by luck alone, and the judges would be blinded..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi rolled his eyes, knowing that if he doesn't work, you are still so desperate?

"I am not a desperate person, I am pretending to be pitiful! I hope that in the future, my master will be able to be able to stay in a few days less for the sake of our desperate person."

After saying that, Zhong Qi looked at Li Yi with malicious intentions.

"Actually, I've been doubting something..."

"What?"

"It wasn't Master who only knew there was a national competition today, but why did he pay so much attention this time? Although I participated in the special training before, I confirmed the entry from the beginning, and the paintings that were repeatedly drawn over the past two months. It's not like this time, it's a basic exercise and a sketch, I doubt..."

After hearing what he said, Li Yi felt something was wrong and couldn't help but blink.

"What do you doubt?"

"I suspect I was killed by you boy!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Qi rushed over and grabbed Li Yi's neck. Then he gasped and said angrily:

"I have practiced basic skills for more than 20 years. On weekdays, my master didn't say anything bad, but I came to capture my basic skills before the competition, and this happened to be your weakness... I said, how should you compensate me?"

Li Yi was caught off guard and was pinching him so hard that he stuck out his tongue. He was about to fight back, but suddenly he heard this guy say this and was stunned for a moment.

Is it impossible? Master wants me to practice basic skills and just say it? Is it necessary to make excuses and find someone to tie him up?

"Let's just say? Look at your boy. How many days did you stay in Yanjing during that time? How many homework did you do in a week? How many homework is in Hangzhou, France, Taiwan, France, picking up treasures, gambling stones, and taking care of your girlfriend... Damn, I'm so unlucky with you, my junior brother!"

When Li Yi thought, it seemed that this was the case. Could it be that the two masters thought he was too careless and deliberately set up this situation?

He held Zhong Qi's hand in his right hand and twisted it gently, dragging the bluffing guy aside.

"Is it unlikely? If they want me to practice, just arrange it directly. I can really..."

Li Yi was talking and couldn't continue. He knew his situation very clearly.

Just like identifying gambling stones, when he first got the spirit card, he did study hard, and even went to Tongruibao to be an appraiser for this. However, once he found that the spirit card would not disappear suddenly. Although he had been paying attention to this aspect of learning for so long, his enthusiasm was no match for the first two months.

Similarly, his attitude towards calligraphy and painting was the same. When he first started studying, no matter it was windy or rainy, no matter where he was, he could guarantee at least two hours a day. Even when he was in Hong Kong and Myanmar, he was actively practicing. The average study time even exceeded 10 hours at one point, but now...

Li Yi grinned his teeth, as if since he went to France, this time has been cut by him intentionally or unintentionally, especially during this period, when he lived with Lu Ningshuang, the time was even less pitiful. Not to mention that he often couldn't hold on for two hours, but even if he persisted, the quality...

Thinking of this, he felt that the master’s arrangement this time was probably really like Zhong Qi’s guess. The competition was just an excuse, and it was true that he had to take the opportunity to clean up him...

but……

This guy glanced at Zhong Qi, his eyes turned around. It would be enough to understand this kind of thing himself. If you really want to admit it, why don’t you be bullied to death by this guy?

"I think you should be the one who needs to deal with me, right? How long have I been studying? Now my level is similar to yours. Even if you are a genius, it is impossible for a genius to reach this level, right? Besides, I am very young and have more opportunities in the future. And what about you? In this time, there are only three opportunities left to participate in the competition. Who will you slapped with a whip? Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Li Yi was just trying to make a fuss about making trouble, but unexpectedly, Zhong Qi was also guilty. Li Yi's progress was obvious to all, and Zhong Haoqing and Hu Jinquan were both satisfied with this guy's performance. Could it be that it was because of him that he brought Li Yi to tie him up?

Zhong Qi thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his eyes flashed a little.

But immediately, he strengthened his confidence. He could understand this kind of thing himself and he would never let this guy know, otherwise he would not have pinched his braids?!

"Okay, I sincerely point out your shortcomings and mistakes. Not only did you accept it humbly, you also wanted to turn the tables. Seeing that I won't tell my master, I will ask them to add more money to you!"

"Tsk! Scar me? I tell you, it's because of you!"

"It's because of you!"

The two guys were like two kids fighting each other, standing at the door of the studio, you said one by one and one by one, and then they shouted a few times, and suddenly pointed at each other and laughed.

"No matter who he is implicated, I have discovered it anyway. If I don't perform well in this competition, I'm afraid that the next life will not be very easy."

After laughing, Zhong Qi waved his hand in distress.

"You are so easy. My girlfriend is far away in France and it's normal for a few months to see her. I'm different. I'm all in Yanjing. I haven't seen me for dozens of days. I'm almost running away with me! Besides, your intensive training during this period has indeed made progress, and the progress has been very obvious. But what about me? Madan, sometimes I feel that I can't even draw!"

"Uh...so serious?"

"What do you think?"

"Will I tell my master, and you have been stolen and you can't even draw. Of course, you won't have to participate in that competition!"

"Get out! Be careful when I look back at the Xiaolu report I gave you, saying that you have been hiding with me every day, and you have been to the red light district, bar, and bath center..."

"Damn it! Come here, I'll let you see how many eyes Prince Ma has!"
