Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 219 Master's Teachings
Wu Xian and his companions weren't stupid; they naturally understood what Cui Wenxuan meant.

This world has always been complex.

Some people prefer to live on their knees, while others prefer to live standing up.

Or, due to circumstances and the tyranny of those above, they were forced to live a life of subservience.

In short: The world has suffered under the rule of the upper class for too long; a single spark can start a prairie fire.

In this struggle against the upper class, you passionate young people are not fighting alone.

As long as you dare to take on challenges, you will have many like-minded people supporting you from behind!
As for Wu Xian...

Even without today's incident, he would still have embarked on the path of rebelling against the upper class.

After all, the old man Wu Mingchang, and his family in this life, were very likely harmed by the higher-ups.

"How many of you are there?" Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously.

Cui Wenxuan smiled but remained silent.

"Tch~ That's how old people are, they always like to keep things mysterious." Xue Lingling pouted sullenly, "The mayor and Grandpa Wang are on your side too, aren't they?"

“Wang Fengnian seems to be one,” Cui Wenxuan pondered, “but our mayor… it’s hard to say.”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

“Logically speaking, these politicians are most likely to have high-level backgrounds. In fact, the current ruling framework was originally created by those people at the top,” Cui Wenxuan said. “But our Mayor Chen seems to be different, and even the entire Yaoyang City seems to be different.”

"Yaoyang City is different?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

It's understandable that Mayor Chen Shilong is hiding something or a secret.

But what's with Yaoyang City being different?

“I don’t know the specifics either,” Cui Wenxuan pondered, “but as far as I know, Yaoyang City has always been in a state of independent autonomy at the administrative level, and Tianfeng Province has never bothered to deal with it.”

Perhaps this is also the reason why Yaoyang City's economic development has been stagnant?

"Independence and autonomy?"

Wu Xian and the others exchanged glances, secretly puzzled.

“Now that you mention it, I remember,” Xue Zhengying said with a lingering gaze. “My grandfather’s generation also mentioned that our Xue family moved to Yaoyang City for this very reason.”

"Huh? There's such a thing?" Xue Lingling exclaimed in surprise. "How come I didn't know?"

Xue Zhengying laughed and said, "It wasn't really an important matter. I only overheard my grandfather mention it by chance back then. After all, our Xue family has been here for seven or eight hundred years, and we've long regarded Yaoyang City as our ancestral home."

"It seems we need to get to know our mayor better," Xue Lingling said thoughtfully.

……

The matter has come to a temporary close, but the Wang family's situation is far from over.

To be honest, Wu Xian really wants to lure those upper-class people down as soon as possible so he can see what they look like.

Is it also two shoulders supporting one head?
Back at the Underworld Club, Cui Wenxuan was in high spirits. "My little grand-disciple," he said, "I've done my part. Now tell me, what other ideas do I have for improving this exorcising immortal master?"

"Huh?" Wu Xian was completely confused.

"Didn't you hint that I should go to the outpost to help?" Cui Wenxuan said unhappily.

Wu Xian's expression was strange. He gradually understood a little. No wonder Cui Wenxuan had inexplicably gone to the outpost to help. So that's what happened.

To be fair, Chairman Cui is quite perceptive.

Although the "enlightenment" was somewhat off and the process was not quite right, the result was actually correct.

Especially the bite from the "vicious dog".

“Well…” Wu Xian pretended to ponder, acting as if he was thinking, “There’s nothing wrong with the word ‘immortal’, it fits the style quite well, it’s just that your interpretation of the word ‘immortal’ isn’t quite right.”

In addition, your concept of the strength attribute doesn't seem quite right.

"Well, how should I put it?" he said, summoning the Pleiades Star Lord as an example. "You can refer to the attributes and characteristics of this scroll of mine; perhaps it would be a better match for the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Master."

"Fire attribute?" Cui Wenxuan asked, puzzled.

“No, it’s not just the fire attribute, but the pure yang attribute from the sun, which I call pure yang,” Wu Xian explained. “Or you can simply understand it as an attribute that corresponds to the yin energy of the dead.”

"Pure Yang?" Cui Wenxuan seemed to be deep in thought.

By carefully sensing the unique attribute power of the Pleiades Star Lord, he seemed to gain some insight.

He then left the club in a daze.

Wu Xian was then dragged to the president's bedroom by his master sister with a serious expression.

"What instructions does Master Sister have?" Wu Xian was completely confused.

Xue Lingling snorted and pulled out the final draft of the spider lily drawing with an annoyed expression. "Tell me, what's going on with this new work of yours?"

"Uh," Wu Xian was immediately embarrassed, "Wasn't it given to the network department? How did it end up in your hands?"

"How dare you say that?" Xue Lingling glared at Wu Xian. "Do you understand that you're infringing on my portrait rights? Do you know how expensive my endorsement fees are these days? This isn't a scroll that can be sold so easily!"

Wu Xian was embarrassed and speechless.

"Sigh~" Xue Lingling sighed softly, her maternal instincts overflowing, and said seriously, "You know, adolescence is when young men are full of vigor and it's natural for them to develop vague feelings for the opposite sex. But you need to learn to recognize these feelings correctly, instead of having any crooked ideas, do you hear me?"

Considering that my beloved disciple grew up without parents and relied on his grandfather for support, it's understandable that he might lack in this area.

Poor, obedient disciple.

The saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a mother for life." As his teacher, I should help him improve his education in this area.

At least in this matter, she finally felt a strong sense of presence in being a mentor.

Little did he know, Wu Xian was completely stunned by the shock.

Master Sister... is she giving him extra education in that area?

He's a married man from a previous life, why would he need a girl in her twenties to educate him on this?
"You are right, I will definitely reflect on myself."

Wu Xian could only pretend to be a well-behaved child who had been taught a lesson, since he was only eighteen years old.

But speaking of which, do the spider lilies really look a lot like their master?
"You're a promising young man," Xue Lingling said with a sense of accomplishment. "I remember that my third uncle was quite knowledgeable in this area when he was young. I'll have him show you around and broaden your horizons so you don't go astray."

"No, no, no, I can reflect on it myself." Wu Xian said, both amused and exasperated.

Judging from what my master sister said, Master Xue was quite the womanizer when he was young!

"Alright," Xue Lingling smiled wryly, "As for your new work, I'll take good care of it for you. You can't sell it to anyone else in this lifetime, understand?"

"Okay okay."

"What are you waiting for? Get started!" Xue Lingling said irritably. "You child, of all people to draw, you had to draw your teacher. But the name 'Red Spider Lily' is quite nice."

Wu Xian awkwardly began making the authorized copy of "The Other Shore Flower" on the spot.

It seems that the plan to use the spider lily to deal with the plant-based system has fallen through, but fortunately we have other ideas, so we don't have to be fixated on dealing with the undead-based system.

Xue Lingling watched with great interest, seemingly quite satisfied with the image of the red spider lily.

While drawing, Wu Xian couldn't help but ask his master sister with great interest, "Speaking of which, when did you first fall in love?"

“No,” Xue Lingling said righteously, “From the day I inherited the family’s legacy, I have dedicated my youth to the family.”

"..."

Wu Xian was somewhat speechless, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. In a place like the Necropolis, where you're ostracized everywhere, it's really hard to develop feelings for someone.
