Qi Wenshi began to grow suspicious.
While backdoor dealings were rare, they were not entirely unheard of.
He immediately said, "Churou, come with me to the Art Association tomorrow. I need to ask around and get to the bottom of this."
Qi Wenshi was once a remarkable artist, a grandmaster in his prime.
However, his later works lacked the brilliance of his earlier years, and he had gradually been overshadowed.
Eager to cement his legacy, he decided to take on students, hoping that if one of them rose to prominence, he could bask in some of their glory.
He had taken on two students.
One had gone abroad for further studies, leaving only Qin Churou by his side.
Qin Churou was undeniably talented, or else someone as exacting as Qi Wenshi would never have chosen her. He had placed great expectations on her shoulders.
