Chapter 558: Inter-University Talent Contest (1)
Cai Qinyue was incredibly frustrated about the incident.
However, she did not want to ask Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan for help again.
She never liked the Jian family in the first place. Begging them once was already embarrassing enough. She couldn’t get over the hurdle in her own heart to ask them again.
Furthermore, she argued with Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan the last time.
And thus, Cai Qinyue decided to go to visit Master Liang. She planned to ask him for help directly.
Typically, Master Liang did not see anyone if they did not have an appointment with him. However, as Cai Qinyue stated that she was Jian Yiling’s aunt, Master Liang decided to meet her.
However, when Master Liang heard the reason for her visit, he decisively said no.
Furthermore, Liang Shuo said with certainty that she must have come here without Jian Yiling knowing.
After that, Liang Shuo asked Cai Qinyue to leave.
Cai Qinyue felt angry and humiliated when she left.
However, in the end, the matter was settled.
Wen Cheng asked one of his business friends to come and settle the matter. However, by doing so, he ended up spending a lot of money on this.

Beijing University had an inter-university talent contest. Many of the universities in Beijing participated in this talent contest.
This meant that the students who participated in the talent contest not only represented themselves, they also represented their university.
There were also scholarship prizes for the winners of the contest.
The three entries with the highest scores would receive a generous amount of money. In addition to the money, they would also win glory for their university.
Furthermore, the best entries would also be selected for an exhibition.
Wen Ruo’s university was also participating in the talent contest.
Ever since young, whenever there was a talent-related contest at school or university, the teachers would immediately think of Wen Ruo. This time was no exception.
Wen Ruo took this talent contest very seriously as well. She spent a whole night planning a sketch of an ink wash painting. Then, she drew up the painting.
When Cai Qinyue saw her daughter’s work, she was incredibly satisfied.
It seemed as though her daughter was yet again, going to win first place in a talent contest.

Jian Yiling’s mentor signed Jian Yiling up for the talent contest as well.
The reason for this was because every mentor had to sign up one of their students.
Jian Yiling’s current mentor only had one student.
And thus, Jian Yiling’s mentor signed her up. She only had one student anyways. Who else would she sign up?
It was Jian Yiling’s business whether or not she handed in a piece of work. Under such a situation, the quality of the work would not matter anyway.
However, surprisingly, Jian Yiling still handed in a piece of work.
She used fondant to create a pre-Tang dynasty beauty.
The craftsmanship of the work made the beauty look vivid and lifelike. Every detail on the eyes, nose, and mouth was portrayed.
The most amazing parts were the hair and clothes on the beauty.
The hair appeared to be as smooth as silk.
In addition, the clothes appeared to be flowing and graceful.
It was as though the beauty was alive and dancing in front of them.
Her mentor was stunned when she saw Jian Yiling’s craftsmanship.
“Oh my goodness! I was just filling in your name as I didn’t have any other students. However, now, it seems as though you’re going to help our university win the prize!”
Jian Yiling’s current mentor was a woman. She was in her early forties and was incredibly chill about everything.
She was stunned to see the work produced by her student. In fact, was she holding up her student with academic research? Jian Yiling could easily become an artist!

Out of all the works submitted, Wen Ruo’s painting and Jian Yiling’s sugar art were the works that stunned the judges the most.
Wen Ruo’s ink wash painting was rendered with varying thicknesses and types of strokes. In addition, the concept and construction of the painting were incredible.
The judges recognized Wen Ruo’s skills.
She was definitely a professional ink wash painter!
However, the sugar art beauty caught everyone’s eyes.
That posture, those brows, and those eyes! They were so realistic!
