Luo Risheng couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the two young people vying with each other, saying, “Since you both want to compete, I’ll act as a judge this time and see whose calligraphy skills are superior.”

Luo Shiyu looked at Luo Risheng and said, “Old man, just make sure you don’t favor him because he’s your grandson!”

Luo Risheng replied with a smile, “I’ve always been strict when it comes to art, and I certainly won’t be biased towards anyone.”

Luo Shiyu then turned to Lu Chuan and asked, “What shall we write?”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s just play it by ear; being spontaneous might actually better showcase our styles.”

“Hmph, I didn’t think you were so knowledgeable, probably heard it somewhere and now showing off,” sneered Luo Shiyu dismissively before picking up her brush, pondering briefly over the characters she wanted to write, and then confidently starting to write.

Without further hesitation, Lu Chuan lifted his brush and began to write, his movements smooth and flowing, completing the task in one go.

Luo Risheng first glanced at Luo Shiyu’s semi-cursive style, nodded internally, and murmured, “Shiyu’s brushwork is getting more and more skilled.

Both style and charm hint at the beginnings of a unique school.

Given some time, she’ll surely become a master calligrapher!”

Then, he turned his attention to Lu Chuan.

In his heart, he had doubts about Lu Chuan’s level— even if his grandson had studied calligraphy, he surely couldn’t match Luo Shiyu, who had extraordinary artistic talent.

He had even thought of how to comfort and smooth things over for Lu Chuan when he lost.

But as his gaze fell upon the Xuan paper in front of Lu Chuan, he was completely astonished.

He couldn’t take his eyes off the paper and just stared as Lu Chuan finished writing the characters, motionless.

Soon after, both had finished their creations and set down their brushes.

Luo Shiyu picked up her work, showed it to Luo Risheng and Lu Chuan with full confidence, and said, “Take a good look, this is real art!”

Lu Chuan glanced over and saw the words “jerk” beautifully executed on the Xuan paper, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Luo Shiyu glared at Lu Chuan and said, “What are you laughing at!

I wrote these three words to tell you that with a true understanding of art, even such vulgar words can be infused with charm, understand?”

Lu Chuan nodded with a smile, saying, “It’s indeed well written, but it still falls a bit short compared to mine.”

“Pfft,” scoffed Luo Shiyu, rolling her eyes at Lu Chuan then turning to Luo Risheng, “Grandpa, this guy has no appreciation for art.

You be the judge.”

Luo Risheng had glanced at Luo Shiyu’s work and then returned his focus to Lu Chuan’s piece, saying, “Yours is indeed good, but…”

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiyu immediately bristled with irritation, her face clouding over as she protested, “Grandpa!

You said earlier you wouldn’t be biased towards him, but you haven’t even looked at my work properly before you start objecting, you terrible old man!”

Luo Risheng quickly interjected, “I definitely don’t mean to favor Lu Chuan.

Ah, I can’t explain it well, just look at his work for yourself, and you’ll understand.”

Luo Shiyu, full of distrust, walked over to Lu Chuan’s table and looked down at his piece.

With just one glance, the scornful expression on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by disbelief.

On Lu Chuan’s paper, the words “silly girl” were written.

Although simple, the style and depth of these words proved they were the work of Master Qingyun!

Luo Shiyu was shocked, leaning over the table to closely examine Lu Chuan’s work, muttering to herself, “How is this possible, how is this possible…”

After a long while, she looked up at Lu Chuan, saying, “Your writing is identical to Master Qingyun’s works; are you specialized in imitating him?”

Luo Risheng spoke up, “His writing possesses both Master Qingyun’s strength and charm.

A mere imitation wouldn’t capture the essence of the master, yet his writing not only matches Master Qingyun’s in every respect, it even seems to surpass it…”

Although Luo Shiyu was reluctant to accept her grandfather’s evaluation of Lu Chuan, the truth was undeniable.

A possibility flashed through her mind, and her breathing and heartbeat quickened.

She looked at Lu Chuan and said, “So Master Qingyun…”

“It’s me,” Lu Chuan said with a smile.

Luo Shiyu’s eyes widened as she felt almost breathless.

She could never have imagined that the idol she admired would be her own cousin; she was immediately thrown into disarray.

Remembering how she had treated Lu Chuan, she now wished she could slap herself hard.

She had dared to look down on Master Qingyun, a gravely unforgivable sin, deserving of being fried in boiling oil!

Her face was full of remorse, not knowing how to face her idol anymore.

Luo Risheng was also incredibly excited, grabbing Lu Chuan’s arm and laughing, “Well!

Who would have thought Master Qingyun was my grandson, you’ve given me such an immense surprise!”

Overwhelmed with emotion, he looked up at the sky, exclaiming, “Yun Chang, do you see?

Your son is both literary and martial, a rare talent indeed.

He has perfectly inherited your genes, and would surely make you proud if you knew!”

Seeing Luo Risheng so moved, Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “Grandfather, calligraphy is just a way for me to adjust my state of mind, nothing to praise, please don’t get too excited.”

Luo Risheng wiped away his tears, saying, “I’m just happy to see how outstanding you are.”

Luo Shiyu, flushed with shame, approached Lu Chuan and stammered, “I- I’m sorry, cousin, I apologize for my previously unfriendly attitude towards you.

I was judging a book by its cover; can you forgive me?”

Lu Chuan laughed and said, “Actually, I didn’t mind at all.

You don’t need to worry about it.”

“Really?” Luo Shiyu’s eyes sparkled with brightness.

Lu Chuan nodded.

Instantly, Luo Shiyu’s face was filled with joy, and she hugged Lu Chuan’s arm.

“Cousin, you’re so nice.

Can I ask you about calligraphy in the future?”

“Sure,” Lu Chuan said.

Luo Shiyu danced around excitedly and then picked up the piece of paper with ‘silly girl’ written on it.

“Cousin, can you give me this piece of writing?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “I called you silly, and you still want it?”

Luo Shiyu said coyly, “You are Master Qingyun.

Even if you call me silly, I am still happy.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand.

“If you want it, just take it.”

“Thank you, cousin!” Luo Shiyu’s face was brimming with joy, and it was clear she was genuinely happy.

Lu Chuan reflected on the dramatic change in Luo Shiyu’s attitude towards him before and after.

He thought to himself that having a skill was indeed necessary to win his cousin’s favor.

After chatting with Luo Risheng for a while, he went back to the Luo Family Mansion with Luo Shiyu.

On the way back, Luo Shiyu became extremely attentive, now wanting to massage Lu Chuan’s shoulders, then wanting to rub his legs.

“Cousin, why don’t I just become your personal maidservant!” Luo Shiyu said excitedly, clinging to Lu Chuan’s arm.

Lu Chuan couldn’t stand her enthusiasm and said, “How about you just despise me?

I really can’t handle it when you’re like this.”

Luo Shiyu quickly responded, “How could I?

You are my idol.

I can’t get enough of liking you.

How could I despise you?”

“If you don’t like it when I’m like this, I can restrain myself a bit,” she said.

Helplessly, Lu Chuan, to prevent Luo Shiyu from sticking to him after finding out that he was Master Qingyun, directly assigned her the task of copying a hundred calligraphy pieces.

To his surprise, Luo Shiyu agreed cheerfully, which made him lament the frightening nature of fanatic fans, and he began to understand why some stars have so many passionate fans.

That evening, Lu Chuan received a message from Mu Yuqing.

“Brother, can I meet with you?

I have something very important to discuss,” she wrote.

Curious about what this girl he had saved could possibly want to discuss, he contemplated for a moment, agreed to meet, and arranged to see each other at a coffee shop the next day.

“This girl also has the last name Mu.

Could she be from the Muh family too?”

With a hint of curiosity, Lu Chuan entered a meditative state.

The next morning, Lu Chuan left the Luo Family Mansion and headed to the coffee shop for his appointment.

Arriving at the coffee shop, he saw Mu Yuqing sitting inside wearing a beautiful dress, her hair adorned with a large butterfly bow, looking both cute and pretty.

Mu Yuqing saw Lu Chuan coming and hurriedly stood up to wave.

Lu Chuan went over and sat opposite her.

“What did you want to talk about?” Lu Chuan asked with a smile.

Mu Yuqing looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Brother, are you…

from the Luo family?

The nephew of the Family Head of the Luo family?”

Hearing this question, Lu Chuan immediately confirmed Mu Yuqing must be from the Muh family.

He nodded and asked, “You must be from the Muh family, right?

What is Muh Jianfeng to you?”

“He’s my brother…” Mu Yuqing said.

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “So what did you want to discuss with me?”

Mu Yuqing looked conflicted, as if she was struggling to speak.

Watching her behavior, Lu Chuan guessed that she was probably there to persuade him to concede.

He smiled and said, “Just say what you have to say; there’s no need to hesitate.

You don’t have to feel embarrassed just because I saved you.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuqing finally made up her mind and said, “What I am about to say is rather confidential.

Can I sit next to you and whisper it?”

Thinking that she didn’t need to whisper in his ear just to persuade him to concede, Lu Chuan was curious to see what the girl was up to, so he nodded, “Sure.”

Mu Yuqing quickly got up, sat next to Lu Chuan, looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then leaned in close to whisper, “My brother has recently broken through to Profound Realm Level 2.

He’s planning to use this as his trump card to catch you off guard, but you don’t have to worry.

I am going to tell you his weakness…”
