Chapter 19 Exaggerate the fact
Mr. Johnson said with a big smile.
He was not a vain man, but when he saw the envious expression on everyone’s face, he was a little
proud.
It took him a lot of effort to get the genuine painting of Master of Clouds.
Now it seemed that it was worth it.
“This painting is called Eagle Rests on the Tree. What do you think after looking at it?” Mr. Johnson
asked with a smile.
Someone immediately replied, “This painting follows the usual simplified style of Master of
Clouds.
It has distinct features. The painting is not complicated, but it can be seen at a glance that this is an
eagle, and this is a tree.”
Mr. Johnson nodded, “Most of the paintings only focus on the shape, but they don’t have souls.
As for the works of Master of Clouds, they have both body and soul, which is the reason why it is difficult
for ordinary people to copy.”
Everyone agreed.
Then several other people expressed their opinions.
After thinking for a moment, Roe said, “I think this painting represents a state of mind of Master of
Clouds.”
“Oh? Why do you say that?”
Everyone was intrigued.
Roe cleared his throat and said
“Look at this tree. Although it is not carefully painted, it is like a shadow, representing the current

“Look at this eagle. It seems to be resting on a tree, but in fact, it should be expressing its
helplessness.”
“Which Eagle doesn’t want to fly in the sky? But it has no choice but to land on the top of the tree. This is
a kind of helplessness.”
“Then, the point is that there is a red mark on the eagle’s head, which is in sharp contrast to the
grey color of the whole painting.
What does it mean?”
“It means that this eagle is not reconciled. It is eager to fly to the blue sky again.”
“In the end, I concluded that this painting shows the current situation of Master of Clouds.
This should be the work of Master of Clouds in his low life.”
After Roe finished, there was a moment of silence, and then a warm applause.
The explanation was so good.
What a mind reader of Master of Clouds!
Mr. Johnson also praised, “If Master of Clouds heard your analysis, he will definitely take you as his
confidant.”
Then he turned to look at Wade and said with a smile, “Wade, your son is better than you!”
Wade said proudly, “Ha ha, I’ve told you that he has a promising future.
He has to thank me since I’ve taught him a lot of knowledge about calligraphy and painting since he
was a child.”
He was not modest at all.
The crowd kept applauding, and even John couldn’t help applauding for Roe.
I didn’t think so much when I drew this painting by myself, but you figured it out. What a genius.
Hearing the praise of the elders around, Roe couldn’t help smiling proudly.
He suddenly glanced at Alice and said, “Miss Moon, what do you think of this painting?”
Roe had been hostile to her since she entered the room, because he felt that she didn’t deserve to
appear here.
A prostitute knew nothing about calligraphy and painting.
Roe asked deliberately in order to make a fool of her.
Everyone instantly looked at her.
Mr. Johnson encouraged her with a smile, “Don’t worry, Miss Moon. There are a thousand Hamlets in a
thousand people’s eyes.
It doesn’t matter if you tell us your feelings. Let’s exchange our opinions.”
Alice nodded and said, “I’m also a loyal admirer of Master of Clouds, so I’m very happy to see this
painting today.
This painting is indeed the style of Master of Clouds…”
“Cut the crap and get to the point.”
Roe interrupted impatiently, “Someone has mentioned about style and characteristics. You don’t
need to repeat it.”
“Roe, don’t worry. Let her finish first!” Mr. Johnson said.
Roe did a good job just now and Mr. Johnson had a good impression of him, so he called him Roe.
Even if it was impolite for Roe to interrupt, Mr. Johnson didn’t scold him.
Alice frowned, but she continued, “This painting is excellent on the whole, but I think the red mark
is a failure.”
Alice spoke out her thoughts.
She also felt strange. It was a perfect painting, but why did Master of Clouds exaggerate it?
This was not like what Master of Clouds had done before.
When John heard this, he couldn’t help smiling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlice knows me so well!
Because the red mark was not painted at all, but the juice that he accidentally dripped when he ate
the red berries.
However, when the people around heard this, their faces changed greatly.
Wade rebuked loudly, “You’re talking nonsense. There can’t be any unnecessary thing in Master of
Clouds’ work.”
Everyone was dissatisfied.
Master of Clouds was their idol and no one was allowed to slander him.
This woman dared to say that Master of Clouds was exaggerating. Didn’t she ask for scolding?
Roe sneered: “I’ve already said that this kind of woman knows nothing about painting.
Inviting her here is just to spoil our enjoyment.”
Mr. johnson was also unhappy.
Although he asked everyone to express their own opinions, what he really wanted to hear was actually
praise from different perspectives, not criticism.
The comment of Alice made Mr. Johnson very unhappy. He didn’t even treat her nicely later.
Noticing the change of Mr. Johnson’s attitude, Alice was disappointed.
She thought it was an exchange meeting for painting and calligraphy lovers, but she didn’t expect that it
was all a group of flatterers, and even Mr. Johnson was no exception.
She shouldn’t have come here tonight.
Alice wanted to leave directly, but John pulled her and said, “Wait a minute.”
John never suffered losses. How could he be willing to leave since these people dared to bully her like
this.
It seemed that it was time to reveal the identity of Master of Clouds.
While John was thinking about how to reveal his identity, what happened next made him change his
mind.
