Gu Dajiang returned with the twenty-odd paintings.
As soon as he entered, he said to Mountain Elder Qi, "I didn't disappoint you. I've already brought back all the paintings."
Mountain Elder Qi was speechless. He already knew the process. The completion rate of the matter was far beyond his expectations.
He asked Gu Dajiang to put all 20 paintings on the table and looked at them one by one. There was indeed no problem.
Finally, Mountain Elder Qi's gaze landed on the horse painting in Gu Dajiang's hand. The others did the same, but Mountain Elder Qi didn't say anything, so they could only wait.
However, Mountain Elder Qi quickly retracted his gaze and asked him curiously, "You used this painting to attract other students. If you didn't have this painting on hand, how could you take back these twenty paintings?"
