Rose Life: Life After Desperation
Become a student of Lao Mu

Lu Yan chose the items he had, some of which he would display for the cafe, then some were stored and also some other items he would sell.

"Fireland, Bow, Red Sword, Golden Armor, Whip of the sky, Why is it there?." Said Lu Yan thinking for a moment then he kept the items.

He opened a few scrolls and looked at the contents. That's the painting scroll he made.

Lu Yan looked at it one by one then he stopped at one painting, "Who made this?."

Inside the painting is a girl dressed in red, with a veil and whip in her hand.

It was him while training however...

Who drew it?

"MIRROR." Ouyang Hong entered Lu Yan's room suddenly and surprised Lu Yan.

Looking at the neatly lined painting, Ouyang Hong exclaimed, "Wow."

He then looked at the painting in Lu Yan's hand, "Whose Painting Boss is it? Very pretty."

Lu Yan looked at Ouyang Hong sharply and rolled back his painting.

"Why are you here?."

"Oh boss, said you wanted to go." Ouyang Hong said showing his car keys.

"I'm calling A'ming, not you." Reply Lu Yan.

"Ah I have A'ming and Hong Li supervise the construction. You know boss, the guys in the alley don't give up easily." Ouyang Hong said with annoyance.

"Alright then-" Lu Yan gave a scroll to Ouyang Hong, "Let's go."

Lu Yan walked out of his apartment followed Ouyang Hong, today he is going to go to the address given by Grandpa Xue.

He had to know how much his painting would cost if it was expensive he would take a few more paintings.

"Ei Xiao Yan where are you going?."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, why is this person here?.

"Zhang Wei Yuan, Master Zhang why are you here?." Ouyang Hong asked in surprise.

Wei Yuan exited the elevator and Lu Yan immediately entered the elevator.

"Xiao Yan completely ignored me." Wei Yuan said making Lu Yan grunt softly, he then closed the elevator door to the lower floor.

"Boss you have a relationship with-"

"What relationship?." Cut Lu Yan quickly, "He's just a bully."

"Boss is this place right?." Ouyang Hong asked in a tone of disbelief, his house was really big, twice as big as his house.

Lu Yan pointed out the address that Lao Xie had sent to Ouyang Hong, "Rightly right?."

Ouyang Hong nodded confirming, the two of them then rang the bell.

Soon an old man with a face opened the door, "Who are you looking for?."

"Is this your Old Master's house?." Lu Yan asked and nodded at the old man, "You're looking for me?."

Lu Yan smiled and slightly lowered his head, "Grandfather Xie told me to meet you."

"Then please come in." Lao Mu said.

Lu Yan and Ouyang Hong entered his house and exclaimed in amazement, when viewed from the outside then the feel of this house looks modern but when entering it really feels different.

There are lots of antiques and old paintings.

Lu yan and Ouyang Hong sat down while occasionally still looking at the surroundings.

"Why did Lao Xie tell you to look for me?." Ask Lao Mu without further ado.

"Ah that-" Lu Yan took out a painting scroll from Ouyang Hong and placed it in front of Lao Mu, "Grandfather Xie said that Master Mu knew of antiques so I came to ask if this painting could be sold for a good price."

Lao Mu frowned then opened Lu Yan's scroll, when it opened he fell silent to look at the painting, "Where did you get this painting?."

"Ah I just accidentally got it." Lying Lu Yan.

Lao Mu screeched in disbelief, "No way. But where you get it doesn't matter, the last time this painting was auctioned the price was about 10 million yuan. This painter is very famous but so far the painting that looks only about beauty. But this is implied sadness and pain in war. I'm estimating the possible price could be as high as 20 million yuan."

"Du...twenty million yuan?." Ouyang Hong stammered, twenty million yuan just for a painting?.

Lao Mu nodded, "You want to auction it? This painting is rare, isn't it dear?."

"No, I need money so I will sell it" Lu Yan replied

"All right." Lao Mu stood up he then took out an invitation then he gave it to Lu Yan, "Tomorrow there will be an auction at 9am, you can go with me. And this-" Lao Mu holds a painting of Lu Yan, "If you want to sell it tomorrow you can put it here and later I'll call the organizer but otherwise this painting could be auctioned next week."

"Well, this painting I'll leave to your Master."

"You believe me?."

Lu Yan nodded, "Master Mu is an honorable person not to mention Master is Grandpa Xie's friend, I believe."

"Good eyes, if you want you can be my student." Master Mu's words made Lu Yan frown, "Murid?."

"You brought an antique painting, your bracelet and then your earrings. You must have an interest in antiques." Said Master Mu.

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, he still had a lot of antiques. If he wanted to know how much it was worth, he could easily ask Master Mu.

"Then I won't hesitate, I'll be your student."

Feng Hao Ran 100, Wang Ming 98, Li Hua 90, Yan Jun 80.....

And lastly Qin Lu Yan 30.

"Thirty? How come? Jia Li isn't he above you? Why is it below you?."

"How can he be champion two?."

"Obviously he's champion two beat Li Hua but his grades are so ugly."

Lu Yan looked at his value and smiled, at least his answer was correct.

"Lu Yan why smile?." Jerk Teacher Lin.

Lu Yan shook his head, "There's nothing."

"Your grades are so bad and you're still smiling? How can you follow the Olympics? Or do you not want to follow him? If so, I can find someone to replace you." Said Teacher Lin furiously.

Lu Yan lowered his head, the matter was really hard and his head had even ached upon seeing it.

He knows he is really left behind.

"Lu Yan told me are you still intending to go to the Olympics?."

"My teacher's still, I'll try hard." Said Lu Yan.

"How's it?."

"I'll study hard."

Teacher Lin smiled obliquely, "Your headmaster called asking if you study here or not, he said you haven't been to school in a few days. Lu Yan told me you even left your school, so what are you studying here for?."
