Song Yanran waved to summon two servants and gave them some quiet instructions.
The servants hurried away.
After a short while, they each returned, shouldering an item.
The guests were momentarily startled by the sight.
What test was this?
The two servants brought out two easels, and they propped them up back to back.
"Interesting, it's turned into a literary gathering today, from music to art," someone joked with a laugh.
A burst of laughter echoed from the crowd.
Song Yanran picked up two paintbrushes and handed one to Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changluo, positioning them in front of their respective easels; then she took the microphone, gesturing for silence and announced, "Now, let me explain the contents of the competition!"
The crowd immediately fell silent.
