Chapter 397: Stunned
Several judges went over to take a look at her painting after Zi Yi left. All of them could not help but shake their heads.
“Miss Zi has yet to add color to her painting and that cat had ruined the painting too much. This area is not suitable to have such colors. Also, this area, the additional pigntation…”
“Look, the cat has even scratched a hole here.”
Finally, they all ca to a conclusion.
“This painting cannot be saved.”
“It seems like Miss Zi can only redo another painting.”
“I wonder if she’ll have enough ti remaining?”
…
With what the judges said, those trollers instantly found a reason to badmouth Zi Yi and all of them were acting as if they could sar her in black ink.
What the trollers were unaware of was that their IDs had all been docunted by Shadow and Zi Yi was just waiting to teach care of each and every one of them, after the competition ended.
Regardless of how big of a commotion it was outside, Zi Yi consud her lunch with a few staff mbers accompanying her. She only returned after half an hour or so.
“Miss Zi, you ntioned that you are able to salvage this painting. How are you intending to do so?”
Everyone was waiting for her anxiously.
Zi Yi had a bottle of water in her hand and she was drinking from it. She did not answer them imdiately. Instead, she walked to the easel, poured the bottle of water into a container, before she then used a paintbrush and sared the water over the areas where the paint pignt had been splashed on.
“Miss Zi, are you thinking of diluting the paint sared on the canvas with water? Wouldn’t this cause the canvas to spoil even more?”
“Also, there’s a hole in the canvas. Can you really salvage it?”
“Miss Zi, I feel that it’s better for you to start on a new canvas. There’s still half a day left. If you’re fast enough, perhaps you’ll be able to finish it on ti.”
“Zi…”
Zi Yi suddenly turned around and glanced at the judges. “You’re distracting .”
The judges: “…”
Zi Yi then said, “Please return to your respective seats. I’ll be starting to paint now.”
The judges were silent for several seconds and were slightly unhappy deep down, as they felt that Zi Yi did not appreciate their kindness. In the end, they went back to their seats and sat down.
Because of this, many more trollers appeared on the internet.
“Ha, does she honestly think she’s all that important? How dare she speak to the experts in that tone of voice!”
“She’s so rude. I think that she can get lost from the art circle after the competition ends!”
…
Zi Yi paid no attention to how other people perceived her. After she applied water on the paint pignts that had been splashed on her canvas, she swiftly started mixing the colors she needed.
By the ti she was done with it, the water on the canvas had already dried up.
Everyone else was staring at that canvas of hers.
Be it inside or outside the competition venue, it beca unusually quiet once again.
Zi Yi’s speed was very fast. When she painted the colors onto the canvas, she did not consider much about the proportion of each color like other painters do. From an outsider’s point of view, it seed like she was randomly painting on the canvas.
However, those who were knowledgeable about painting were all stunned by her technique.
Everyone looked at the beginnings of a magnificent painting that was slowly becoming clearer. Finally, they were all shocked to the extent that they forgot to breathe.
What Zi Yi painted was a scene of reality and a mirage. She had combined the two concepts perfectly, making whoever viewed her painting associate it to reality and dreams.
Half an hour later, Zi Yi put down her paintbrush and announced. “I’m done with my painting.”
The Chairn of the International Painting and Calligraphy Association and Country X’s Association went up towards her with excited expressions. Zi Yi turned and left imdiately after she spoke.
The Chairman of Country X’s Association hastily called out to her. “Miss Zi, why are you leaving? You have yet to explain to us the idea behind your painting.”
Zi Yi stopped walking and tilted her head as she asked, “Is there a need for to explain my painting?”
She had already expressed her idea through the painting. As long as they looked at what she had painted, they would know what she was trying to convey.
Zi Yi intended to continue walking away after she said that.
The International Painting and Calligraphy Association’s Chairman revealed a smile as he said, “Miss Zi, you should at least say a few words after you’ve finished?”
Zi Yi stopped in her tracks and felt that she should indeed say a few words. Thus, she walked back to her easel under everyone’s stare and pointed to her painting as she said, “This is a painting that I painted. If anyone still insists that I cheated, then find the original. Also… those trollers who were badmouthing during the ti while I was painting, I will send you a large gift shortly.”
After having said that, she was about to walk away. However, just as she moved her feet, she stopped and the corner of her lips curled up. “As to what I’m going to gift everyone, you can check out the International Racing Competition held during August this year.”
She did not bother to care about the crowd’s confused reactions and said to the two Chairn, “I’m heading to the rest area. Don’t call for before the competition ends.”
She did indeed leave after she said that.
There were many who subconsciously went to check up on the International Racing Competition Zi Yi had ntioned.
When they saw how Zi Yi overpowered all the contestants and revealed all the people who had trolled her over the internet, everyone subconsciously reflected whether they had bad-mouthed her earlier on.
However, there were also so people who refused to believe that she would do so.
“I am exercising my right to freedom of speech. Don’t tell it’s illegal to speak now?”
In the end, these people who did not believe it were imdiately exposed and revealed on the internet.
These trollers were instantly attacked by the whole internet when they were exposed.
When countless trollers were cyberbullied by the netizens, the whole internet entered an inexplicable panicked atmosphere.
Everyone started guessing who was behind Zi Yi, and who would have such great capabilities to have exposed the trollers.
The rest area.
Zi Yi tapped the last key on the laptop and snorted coldly. “After I exposed and revealed these internet trollers over the net, there were even so people who said that I should learn to forgive others.”
“There’s no need to care for these types of people,” Lu Jingye said, “These types of people are rely trying to act like moral dictators, but in fact, it’s because they have never encountered such situations before themselves and it doesn’t matter to them no matter what you say.”
“You’re right.” Zi Yi nodded her head. “I don’t intend to pay them any attention either. In any case, I don’t know who they are and perhaps I might not see them in my whole lifeti. They can say whatever they like. If soone like that dares to appear before , hmph… I’ll let them regret having said these words.”
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady who had her cheeks puffed out. He originally wanted to reach out and stroke her head to comfort her. However, at the thought of the caras around them, he restrained himself.
Zi Yi continued to surf the web.
Lu Jingye’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and said to Zi Yi, “I’ll head outside to answer the call. If I don’t return, it ans that I have left due to important issues.”
Zi Yi nodded and looked at him as she asked, “Will you be coming back today?”
Lu Jingye did not dare to give any promises. “If I don’t manage to return tonight, I’ll give you a call.”
Zi Yi only casually asked that question and waved at him. “Alright then, go and settle your matters. I’ll return with my cousin after receiving the trophy and won’t head elsewhere after that.”
Lu Jingye responded with a hum and headed outside.
The competition cut-off ti was at 6 p.m. Zi Yi was already waiting at the competition venue half an hour before the third round ended.
When the competition ended, the five contestants had received comnts from judges and their scores would be dependent on scores from the judges and online voting.
Without any suspense, Zi Yi won first place, Dou Xiangling ca in second and the third place went to a man from Country E.
