Devil Fruit of the City

"It's such a pity. I didn't expect this extraordinary person to have passed away. We are really unlucky." Mr. Zhao said with emotion, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Indeed, what a pity." The two elders present, Mr. Bai and Mr. Dong, also nodded in agreement. It is indeed a pity that such a legendary figure did not meet him while he was alive.

You must know that a master sculptor who can create the unique skill of "Ping Dao Style" must have reached the level of a master. He is a great patriarch who created a genre, and he is enough to leave a name in the long history of stone carving art. great person.

A person of this level, his status is equivalent to Confucius who created Confucianism, Mo Zi who created the Mohist school, and Lu Ban, the ancestor of civil engineering craftsmen...

Of course, this may be a bit of an exaggeration, but in terms of artistic contributions, this unknown folk wonder can definitely bear this evaluation.  Urban Devil Fruit 279

After all, he created the 'Ping Dao Liu' and created a great skill of carving stone with only one tool. This is simply the most important invention in the history of stone carving, an unprecedented carving technique!

The iron-like fact that only a flat knife can be used to carve has completely shattered their narrow thinking about carving skills in the past, and brought their thinking to a new level.

This shows that there is no end to the realm of pursuing art.

"Grandpa, let me see that this stone carving is actually not that good. Why are you all praising it?" At this moment, Zhao Manni pouted her red mouth and gave Tang Tianyou a bitter look. , There is a taste of not admitting defeat in the beautiful eyes.

"Manni, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you know?" Hearing this, Zhao Chongping reprimanded Zhao Manni softly. This is a master-level work. If stone carvings of this level are not very good, then there is no good stone carving in this world. of stone carvings.

Although he dotes on this granddaughter very much, doting is not doting. If something is wrong, he will still scold her, but the tone will be lighter, not as harsh as he is to his son and grandchildren.

"Grandpa..." Zhao Manni stomped her feet angrily. If she couldn't find any flaws in this work, she would definitely lose the bet with Tang Tianyou.

Just now, because Tang Tianyou and Tang Tianyou were only talking in a low voice, only she and Tang Tianyou could hear the volume, that is to say, only she and Tang Tianyou knew about this bet, and no one else at the scene knew about it, so it was impossible for Zhao Feng and the others to I will speak ill of this stone carving for myself for no reason.

But if that's the case, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that he is really going to lose this bet? No chance at all? God, how could this be? How can this be? Zhao Manni's pretty face was blushing, her heart was pounding like a deer, and she was extremely flustered.

At this time, Mr. Zhao didn't see what his granddaughter was thinking. He said a little dissatisfied: "Manny, I know you are very assertive, but you can't let prejudice blind the truth. This work carved by God Bless, It can be said that it possesses a unique charm, and it is a rare treasure in the world, and it cannot belittle others casually."

what the hell? What does it mean to let prejudice blind the facts? What do you mean you can't belittle others casually? Grandpa what are you talking about? Do you know that if you continue to boast like this, your granddaughter will be taken advantage of by that big satyr? !

Zhao Manni was angry and anxious, her bulging chest rose and fell, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only blushed and stood there helplessly, only anxious.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Wen saw Zhao Manni's blushing pretty face, and seemed to sense that something was wrong. The originally calm and calm younger sister was so anxious now. What happened?

Just when they were about to speak, Mr. Zhao became dissatisfied and said, "Manny, don't be so petty. If you do this again, Grandpa will get angry."

Grandpa is going to be angry?

Hearing this, Zhao Feng and Zhao Wen immediately shut up, turned their faces away, and Zhao Manni, who had been rambunctious, could not help but calm down.

Zhao Chongping had a serious illness before. Although he went to a big hospital for treatment, his body was still very weak. The doctor repeatedly told them not to let Zhao Chongping have too much emotional ups and downs, try not to make Zhao Chongping angry, so as not to affect him recovery from the condition.

You know, Zhao Chongping's serious illness this time has frightened the entire Zhao family. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration.

The juniors of each have been warned by their elders, during this period of time, they should restrain themselves, never do anything that would make grandpa angry, and in any case, they must follow his will to prevent grandpa from getting sick again.  Urban Devil Fruit 279

It was also because of this that Zhao Feng thought about giving a gift to make grandpa happy during this 70th birthday banquet, so that his body can recover faster.

Therefore, even if Zhao Manni didn't like it any more, she had to suppress the anxiety in her heart and give in for the time being when it came to her grandfather's condition. She must not make her grandfather angry.

When Tang Tianyou saw Zhao Manni, who was extremely aggrieved and could hang several soy sauce bottles with her pursed mouth, he felt amused for a while. Let's reap the consequences. I'll let you make trouble, and I won't know if I don't teach you a profound lesson. stop.

Thinking of this, Tang Tianyou smiled triumphantly.

Obviously, Zhao Manni, who was always angry, noticed Tang Tianyou's smug expression. She was so angry that she wanted to pick up a brick on the ground and smash him to death.

"Hmph, don't think that this girl is so easy to take advantage of. Even if I lose, I won't make you feel proud. Just wait and see, big pervert." Zhao Manni gritted her teeth and looked at her with a smirk. The unknown fire in Tang Tianyou's heart seems to be able to burn the entire Ping City.

Completely ignoring Zhao Manni's eyes that were angry enough to kill countless ants, Tang Tianyou turned to Zhao Chongping and said, "Brother Zhao, there is one thing I want to ask you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it? If it's not murder and arson, I can help you, haha..." Zhao Chongping laughed loudly.

"It's not that serious." Tang Tianyou smiled and shook his head, "I just hope you don't tell the public that this stone sculpture was carved by me."

Don't tell the outside world?

"Oh, why? Can't you say that?" Zhao Chongping asked in surprise.

Elder Bai and Mr. Dong looked at Tang Tianyou one after another. They were also very curious, why did Tang Tianyou suddenly make such a strange request?

It stands to reason that when a sculptor creates his most proud work, doesn't he just hope to let everyone know and let his reputation spread all over the world?

Furthermore, fame means money!

In Huaxia Kingdom, all well-known sculptors are not short of money. If they work hard, their income can be described as daily income, such as the case of Mr. Dong.

Obviously, if the fame of Tang Tianyou's stone carving is spread, the value of Tang Tianyou, a young master of stone carving, will naturally rise, and his annual income will exceed ten million, which is a breeze.

But why would he refuse such a good thing?
