"If I were really sure that there was no mystery in this, how could I have given the painting to you for so long and asked you to look at it for me?" I continued. Top 23S.

"I think there might be a big mystery here, so I asked you to take a look at it for me. If you don't see it, you don't see it. I won't laugh at you. Why are you so anxious?"

"Why can't I be impatient?" the old Taoist priest asked again.

"If there is no secret at all, wouldn't I have wasted so many days in vain?"

"Not necessarily." I replied.

"Actually, I just think there may be some secrets here that need to be unearthed, so I asked you to help me take a look, but we haven't unearthed it yet."

"What's the origin of your painting? How are you sure there is a mystery in it?" The old Taoist priest probably felt unconvinced, and asked me.

The old Taoist priest really didn't want to deal with a painting that he had been working on for several days. There was no secret in it. Wouldn't that really mean that he had wasted several days of energy?

"It has no background." I waved my hand and replied, then opened the nine-day phoenix picture I had put away and looked at it carefully, ignoring the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest did not speak. I only felt the sharp eyes of the old Taoist priest at this time. I quickly turned my head and looked at the old Taoist priest, which really shocked me.

At this time, the old Taoist priest looked at me with unkind eyes, as if he wanted to teach me a lesson at any time.

"What are you doing? Do you want to kill me and silence me?" I quickly took two steps back and looked at the old Taoist priest in front of me with vigilance and asked.

"I really want to clean up this brat like you, what's the matter? Since you are on your own territory, you won't take the poor Taoist seriously at all, right?" the old Taoist priest said angrily.

Is this old Taoist priest really jealous of me?

"Okay, okay." I waved my hand helplessly.

"This painting does not have any great background. It is not the work of any famous artist. The creator is my mother."

"Then what's so strange about this?" The old Taoist priest curled his lips.

"Is it necessary to make such a fuss? Just because of this, do you think there is a mystery in this painting?"

"You are really right." I nodded, agreeing with the views expressed by the old Taoist priest.

"It's really because this nine-day phoenix picture was left behind by my mother, so I am really interested in it and think it has a mystery."

"This doesn't make sense, does it?" The old Taoist priest glanced at me again. Obviously, in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, the reason I mentioned was too far-fetched.

"For me, I have reason to delve into everything my mother left behind." I continued to look at the phoenix picture in my hand and said.

"I've pretty much studied the other things my mother left behind, but I just got this painting from someone else not long ago, so I asked you to take a look at it first."

"It really doesn't make sense." The old Taoist priest also focused on the painting in my hand.

"And just because of a painting, you think there is a mystery in it? Isn't it that you are a neurotic kid?"

The old Taoist priest looked at me with doubts in his eyes. I guess he just reached out and put his hand on my pulse to check whether I had mental obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Don't look at me like that." I quickly waved my hand. "My mother does like painting, but what she paints are basically landscape paintings. I have been with my mother since I was a child. How can I still understand that my mother

style? But this nine-day phoenix picture is completely out of touch with my understanding of my mother’s level, because it is another style. If it weren’t for the

My mother’s signature, I really wouldn’t have thought that this painting could have been painted by my mother.”

"Is it because of this?" The old Taoist priest thought for a while and continued to ask me.

"Yes." I nodded and replied.

"Why do I think it's still a bit far-fetched?" The old Taoist priest continued to turn his head and glance at me.

"You think it's far-fetched, but I don't think so." I shook my head and said.

"I have always been very interested in any information about my mother. Just these are enough to make me have a big question mark about this painting in my mind. Unfortunately, I still can't understand the profound meaning of it."

"Then leave it to the poor Taoist, and the poor Taoist won't notice anything." The old Taoist said slowly, stroking his beard.

"Pindao doesn't know much about your father-in-law, and he can't tell anything from it."

"Don't I want you to help me take a look? I thought your eyesight was better than mine, but that's all I didn't expect." I curled my lips and continued.

Seeing that I was still criticizing myself with a mocking tone, the old Taoist priest felt angry again, but the old Taoist priest didn't argue with me.

"Forget it, let's look at it later. Maybe it's just an ordinary painting." I shrugged and closed the painting again.

Although I said this, I still felt that this painting was a bit strange.

I know my mother's level very well. In my impression, my mother has never painted anything other than landscape paintings. Now, suddenly, a painting that is so different from my mother's painting style appears in front of me.

, this makes me unable to do it without thinking too much.

Could it be that it was just my mother who improvised to create such a picture of the nine-sky phoenix?

I didn't think much about it and took the scroll in my hand to my mother's bedroom. When I walked out, the old Taoist priest was already in the living room and looking around. The old Taoist priest was not polite at all.

"That's right." The old Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something.

"Where is the girl named Zhao? Why are you two the only ones at home?"

"Why are you looking for her?" I asked the old Taoist priest in front of me with a wary look.

"What did you say you were doing? Of course it was to fulfill the promise and hold a ceremony for Miss Zhao." the old Taoist priest replied.

Only then did I realize that there was such an agreement between me and the old Taoist priest.

"Didn't you say it would take half a month?" I thought for a moment, and then continued to ask the old Taoist priest.

"Do you think it's still far from the half-month time we agreed before?" The old Taoist priest looked at me.

"That's true." I nodded.

"Isn't there still a few days left? There's no rush."

"Then where has she gone?" The old Taoist priest continued to ask. "She has gone home. It may take some time before she comes back. Why don't you wait here for a while? Or I will take you out for a walk? I guess you don't either.
