Chapter 566 The Foolish Man
Chapter 566 The Foolish Man
In a guest room at the Su family manor, Lin Que looked down at the two paintings in his hands, lost in thought...
Just now in the hall, Su Qian personally handed me that blank painting and said some cryptic things, which I didn't quite understand.
Just thinking about how Su Qian had just asked him earnestly if he still remembered the painting he had comprehended in Cangwu City...
Lin Que immediately felt very strange, but when Su Qian asked him a question, he still nodded to indicate that he remembered.
However, what Lin Que found strange was that these two things didn't seem to have any connection.
After all, the original painting in Cangwu City was left by Xiao Yuan, while this blank painting was left by that mysterious person.
Although both are scroll paintings, they were created at different times.
But Su Qian was so persistent for some reason, firmly believing that since Lin Que could comprehend the contents of the painting in Cangwu City, he must also be able to comprehend the contents of this blank painting.
At the same time, he was very convinced that he was the so-called "great opportunity" of the Su family.
This left Lin Que speechless!
In fact, Lin Que had just tried to comprehend it, but the blank scroll was empty. Just like before, even though he used the Taiqing Chaos Technique, he still couldn't sense anything.
This made Lin Que wonder if this was just an ordinary blank painting!
Perhaps the only difference is that the paper used to make this painting is of better quality; it feels very smooth to the touch.
But there was nothing Su Qian could do. He remained convinced that he hadn't misjudged the situation and said that Lin Que hadn't used the right method, which was why he couldn't comprehend it.
As long as you find the right method, it will be fine!
What the hell!
Isn't what you're saying just nonsense, you old man?!
If you find the right method, anyone can understand it. But over the years, has anyone in your family understood it?!
Thinking this to himself, Lin Que was about to unleash a torrent of curses!
But the thought that Su Qian, the old man, regarded this blank scroll as a treasure and forbade anyone in the clan from touching it immediately dispelled the urge to curse.
Forget it... If you don't even show it to others, how are they supposed to understand it?
Even if someone in your family could comprehend it, they still wouldn't have a chance.
But there was nothing Su Qian could do; he was determined to have Lin Que and forced the blank scroll into Lin Que's hands.
Lin Que had no choice but to accept it.
However, Lin Que made a request: that the painting from Cangwu City be handed over to him as well, so that he could find any connection between the two in the future.
Even though I know this is most likely impossible.
Su Qian naturally agreed to Lin Que's request, since the painting was useless to them anyway.
Inside the room, Lin Que first put the blank scroll into his storage ring, and then unfolded the landscape scroll that Xiao Yuan had left behind when he saw it in Cangwu City.
The mountains are still the same mountains, the water is still the same water, and the painting is still the same painting.
It hasn't changed at all from what I saw before.
The only difference is that this landscape painting has lost a certain spiritual charm, which is obviously because Lin Que has comprehended the "sword aura" within it.
"There's no connection at all, so why do I always feel like there's a big hand pushing me from behind?"
"Made!"
"If you're going to push someone, push that bastard Second Uncle!"
"I'm not a member of any massage parlor."
After looking at it over and over again several times, Lin Que still couldn't see anything wrong with it, so he had no choice but to put the landscape painting away with a grumble.
"Bang...bang..."
Just as Lin Que finished putting away the two paintings, there were two soft knocks on the door.
"Lin Que..."
A soft voice rang out; it was Su Yuyan.
However, judging from her voice, it seemed like she was struggling with something.
"What's wrong?" Lin Que got up and opened the door, looking at Su Yuyan's pretty face, which was slightly downcast but also full of hope, and asked.
"Um...could you please take a look at my second brother?" Su Yuyan asked hesitantly, biting her lower lip.
"I remember your alchemy skills are very strong, but I don't know..."
"Let's go." Lin Que said with a smile before Su Yuyan could finish speaking, "Take me to see first. No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't see anyone."
After saying that, Lin Que took the lead and walked out of the courtyard.
Su Yuyan was stunned for a few seconds upon seeing this, and then a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face!
Like ice and snow melting, spring flowers blooming...
He caught up with Lin Que in a few steps and whispered something.
"Thanks..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que wanted to say "no need," but he swallowed the words back down.
He understood why Su Yuyan had been so conflicted just now; it was all related to her current identity and her usual way of doing things.
As the head of the Su family business, she was indeed not used to asking others for favors.
Even close friends are like this. This is the first time Lin Que has heard Su Yuyan ask him for help. After all, she knew that he was very good at alchemy, but she never asked him to.
Therefore, Lin Que did not choose to speak out, otherwise Su Yuyan would definitely feel very awkward.
After being a businessman for a long time, "profit" and "return" have become ingrained in his bones, right?
That won't work!
Looks like I need to find some time to properly train Su Yuyan!
We must get her to change this bad habit.
As he walked, Lin Que stroked his chin, deep in thought...
Soon, Su Yuyan led Lin Que to a relatively secluded courtyard.
However, such a secluded courtyard should have been quiet, but as soon as Lin Que stepped in, he immediately heard a burst of noisy laughter!
"Hey? Bird, bird, where are you going?"
"Hehehe~!"
"Hurry up...hurry up...hey!"
"hey-hey..."
"Second Young Master, please stop!"
"Second Young Master!"
"..."
After Lin Que followed Su Yuyan into the courtyard, the first thing he saw was a very handsome man, but at this moment the man's expression seemed incredibly stupid.
With drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, a silly grin on his face, and a dazed look in his eyes, he chased after a bird or beast in the yard.
Behind him, several maids were watching over him anxiously!
"He... is my second brother." Su Yuyan looked at the scene before her, turning her head away with some unbearable pain in her beautiful eyes.
“My elder brother’s death was definitely related to the Tianxing Pavilion.”
"Even my second brother... but he was lucky enough to escape with his life."
"But it has become like this now, I..."
As she spoke, a single, glistening tear seemed about to slide from her beautiful eyes...
There was no need for further words. Lin Que waved his hand at Su Yuyan and said softly, "Since you've brought me here, just trust me."
"Your second brother will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyan turned her pretty face, only to find that Lin Que had already started walking towards her second brother...
