Liu Kongyi stood in front of the desk, gently caressing the Dragon Carp as if touching a dawn cloud, her Jade Hand dyed blood-red by a hazy, dreamlike halo.
With a mischievous smile, she observed the men around her, especially the scholars from the Academy, who were gathered at the main table, focusing on the "Heavenly Immortal."
Some frowned deeply, others looked up at the sky, and yet others seemingly penned thoughts unknowingly...
Continuously, men dripped clear water on the ink wash paper to alter characters, but so far no one had succeeded.
After watching for a while, Liu Kongyi shifted her gaze, feeling somewhat disinterested. She had actually tried many characters herself already, to no avail, and so far none of the men's alterations had surprised or intrigued her.
Liu Kongyi glanced over, looking at the Academy scholars she had kept an eye on.
Du Yifu was pinching his chin, staring at the ink wash paper, lost in contemplation.
