Rong Yue had met the other three before, as for this new man, it was easy to figure out his identity.
Du Yating.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she felt it hard to understand what his words meant.
Not just her, the three Wang brothers stepped forward a little as they felt that this person was a little weird.
He had an amiable smile on his face and he was dressed like a gentleman and a scholar. However, in that moment that he had looked at Rong Yue, it wasn't hard to see the lecherous intent behind that gaze.
They were men and were able to pick something like that quickly.
"Sister, let's walk around the hall, you can leave grandfather and his guests," Wang An said as he tried to pull Rong Yue away.
However, Du Yating spoke up at the same moment.
"We students of the other three masters have always shared a cordial relationship with each other. Now that we have a new younger sister, we have to get to know her."
"Isn't that right?" As he said this, he glanced at Master Wang Shu.
His words had another meaning, was Master Wang Shu trying to keep his own student separate?
"Since it's like that, Xiao Yue, you should go with your seniors and leave your brothers to stay with me." Master Wang Shu said. But at the same time, he gave Luo Yunxi a sharp and warning gaze.
Although he wasn't the most skilled, he had a family of similar background with Bai Xiang and he believed that he could protect Rong Yue if anything was going to happen.
As for Ning Li, he was Master Pie's second student and shared a close relationship with Du Yating.
Rong Yue said nothing as she walked with them to sit at a corner.
"Sister Rong, not only is your painting talent good, you are also a genius in studying too!" Luo Yanxi said as soon as they sat down.
The news about Rong Yue's result didn't blow out of proportion and for someone like Du Yating that was barely in the country, he hadn't heard about something like that.
"Does brother Luo and Sister Rong Yue share a special relationship? How do you know about her studies?"
"As we all know, the Art Gathering for art and culture is coming up in the next two weeks. This time around, we opened up the selection process to give talents that weren't able to join the associations chance."
"For this selection, everyone would be painting the same theme and it is from that theme that we would then pick the best five."
"Although it is the same theme, you are allowed to interpret in your own way as that is the soul of art."
"Each room would can contain forty people and every tool and material that you might need has been placed there already."
After giving them the instructions, the door to four rooms were opened on the side.
"I'll be going," Rong Yue said and then walked away hurriedly before any of them could say a thing.
Although she didn't move too far, it was impossible to call her back without drawing attention to themselves. So they could only let her go.
"Since she doesn't want to be friendly with us, why must you force things?" Bai Xiang asked as she gave them a mocking glare.
Before now, she used to be at the center of attention in their group.
Although Du Yating wasn't around every time, the other two would always treat her like their princess. However, today, they had completely ignored her and tried to talk to Rong Yue time after time.
"Sister Bai, it is only normal that exceptional women aren't as expressive. Since you are also a cold beauty, if it is based on appearance, you should understand that sister Rong would be even harder to talk too."
Hearing his words, Bai Xiang's face darkened greatly.
Luo Yanxi however, acted like he didn't say anything wrong. Before now, Bai Xiang always had an arrogant air around her and would only yield if they flattered her well enough.
Although Rong Yue wasn't easy to talk to, he could feel that it was because she was a person of few words.
As long as it was directed towards her, she would answer in the best possible way.
Seeing that Bai Xiang wanted to sow discord, he stood out and supported Rong Yue.
"Junior sister Rong Yue is still young, she clearly doesn't want to stay in the same room with us as she doesn't want to be under so much pressure." Du Yating also joined in, defending Rong Yue.
"Good! Good! The three of you are blinded by beauty!" Bai Xiang scoffed angrily before stomping off
