One move, one day's world

  If it weren't for running into her today, he would have almost forgotten about her. Thinking back to the gaze on the boat that day, he knew this woman was not simple, and it seemed she had many secrets.

  Rumors, can easily mislead people.

  "Your Majesty, do you want to..." The official from the upper court walked into the wild and dark, weakly asking a sentence.

  "Continue." The wild and majestic judge waved his hand, turned around and sat down on the trial platform.

  Since she can come and participate in the competition, he wants to see what other skills she has in the next chess game and qin art.

  Although Baili Liancheng hadn't seen Lan Ya's painting, he could tell from Chui Ye Kuangming's face that he was indeed shocked by it. A painting that could shock the Wild King was a rare sight.

  The judge nodded and waved his hand towards the host, indicating for the current match to continue.

  "The time is up, stop writing." The host shouted loudly, and everyone put down their rice paper.

  The official looked down and saw the crowd's painting.

  Qixiao Ran's painting is a majestic tiger descending the mountain, known as the king of all beasts. People say that it's easy to paint a tiger's skin but difficult to capture its bones, yet his tiger appears vividly lifelike, with the skeletal structure perfectly rendered, leaving no room for criticism - truly a masterpiece born from inspiration.

  The fourth-ranking official, still a young man, was quite knowledgeable about painting. Upon seeing the "Descending Tiger", he nodded his head repeatedly, stroking his whiskers with his fingers.

  Bai Mengni's painting is a beautiful landscape, with skilled brushwork, the mountains, rivers and trees are all perfectly rendered, but the only shortcoming is that it lacks vitality.

  It seems like she has practiced a lot for this painting, except for being proficient in landscape and such, it lacks warmth.

  "If this painting has more inner decoration and atmosphere, then it will be flawless." The implication is that the painting still lacks something.

  Bai Meng's face suddenly fell, her heart seething with anger as she stared at the painting. She had painted this piece no less than thirty times, and everyone said it was perfect. Yet, that insignificant official actually said it was lacking. She couldn't help but wonder if he truly understood art!

  Lan Ya's position was in the back, with twenty or so people, and just for this painting alone, more than a dozen were eliminated.

  The Premier walked up to Lanyu's desk, looked at the painting, and his face showed an uncontrollable surprise. Originally, he still wanted to put some water on the face of the Crazy King, but now that he took a look, it didn't need any water.

  This painting depicts a prosperous and bustling city, with people of all shapes and sizes dressed in different attire. Children are playing in the streets, while various shops and stalls add to the city's prosperity. The citizens live in peace and tranquility.

  "This painting is unparalleled in the world." The Premier exclaimed, even after having seen countless famous paintings, this one depicting a thriving scene was unmatched.

  Several others who were looking on from above also came down to watch, praising continuously.

  Lan Ya smiled slightly, and she was also quite satisfied with today's painting.

  She had painted this painting many times before, but this time it was indeed a spontaneous creation. Perhaps being in ancient times gave her a sense of being on the scene, so she fully devoted herself to the painting and completely admired the peace in the painting.

  The Premier was so pleased with her that Blue Jade considered this test passed.

  About a dozen people were eliminated, and at this time there were only ten people left on the stage. The ten servants held up several people's paintings to face the crowd so that the people below could appreciate them.

  When Baili Liancheng saw the painting of Lan Ya, he had thought about how the scene was painted, but he never thought that the painting would be so cleverly constructed, vivid and lifelike, depicting an entire city.
