Chapter 973: We Are Not His Teachers
“Since they have just entered the school recently, there are many people who can draw better than them. It’s not appropriate if you address anyone who can draw better than you as “Master””, the middle-aged man said disdainfully, “What kind of master is Tan Jinyi!”
Because there was a commotion, many people gathered around to watch.
They couldn’t be bothered to look at the paintings.
Even those who didn’t gather around them could hear what was being said.
Then, some of the onlookers whispered, “Tan Jinyi’s teacher is He Haoyan, and his senior is Dong Yanzhen. How dare these people criticize Tan Jinyi?”
“I think these people are up to no good. They are here to look for trouble. Maybe they are of the same ilk as Shan Zhaowei.”
“I don’t know who they are.”
“They probably think that even if they diss Tan Jinyi, He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen wouldn’t do anything to them because it’s a small issue.”
“That’s true. Those second-generation celebrities and the like have suffered a lot of criticism and verbal attacks. Aren’t their parents powerful? But who came out to speak for their children? If they really did so, wouldn’t they be skewered?”
“That’s true. Everyone has to go through this. We ordinary people have those around us who talk behind our backs, not to mention that, as public figures, they have to endure even more. Speaking of which, since they have become public figures, they will receive more attention and earn more, so the pressure they have to endure will be greater. It’s also understandable. To obtain the benefits, but not have to bear the responsibilities that come with it; that’s too good to be true.”
“What Shan Zhaowei said earlier was too much. He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen only came out to prove their relationship to Tan Jinyi. They also said that they had agreed for Tan Jinyi to use his painting as the opening scene. Other than that, they didn’t say anything else.”
“Therefore, if Tan Jinyi’s painting standards were simply being questioned, He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen probably wouldn’t come out to say anything. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to seem to go running for help whenever something happens.”
“Right now, I’m just curious about what these people do.”
“There are five of them. I just saw them huddling together to discuss something. In any case, they don’t have good intentions.”

Out of the crowd, someone said, “If Tan Jinyi isn’t a Master, then what about you?”
The middle-aged man’s face darkened, then, he heard someone from the crowd say, “These young classmates may not be very professional. Although your words are unpleasant, there’s nothing wrong with them. Not everyone who can draw better than them can be called a Master.”
Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian walked forward hand in hand.
The members of the Tan family followed.
This was because other than Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, everyone else wore hats and masks.
Wei Zhiqian wore a hat and sunglasses.
Tan Jinyi wore a hat, covering most of his face.
In addition, he had only recently gained some exposure. Although everyone had seen a few photos of him on the Internet, they did not have a deep impression of his looks.
Therefore, even if Tan Jinyi only wore a hat, no one could recognize him.
Tan Jinqi and Tan Jinsheng were well-equipped with hats and masks.
The middle-aged man looked over. It turned out that the speaker was Tan Mo..
“However, at least these students saw that Tan Jinyi drew well, but they didn’t see how well you drew,” Tan Mo said loudly, “We don’t even know what standards you have, yet we have to listen to your advice?”
The middle-aged man didn’t expect that there would be a busybody among the crowd watching the show.
“You mean, you want me to draw right now to show you?” The middle-aged man seemed to be amused. “Even if I don’t draw, I can still prove that I absolutely have the ability and qualification to say what I just said.”
“Didn’t this student ask how the wind was drawn?” The middle-aged man pointed at the painting and said, “Look at the splashes of water from the waterfall spreading outwards. It’s not just because of the splashes, but also because of the wind. so the direction of the splashes is slanted.”
“Look at the water flow; its direction is drawn. Not only is the water surface tilted, but it’s also because of the wind.”
“Look at the clothes of the person in the painting. They are also getting splashed by the waterfall and flowing in the same direction as the flow of water,” the middle-aged man said, “Wind cannot be drawn, but yet it can. It is impossible to draw something invisible like wind.”
“However, you can use reference objects in the painting. For example, the direction of the swaying leaves, the direction of the tilting flora, the direction of the flow of water, and the direction of stones that fly to interpret the wind in the painting.”
“You didn’t notice this detail, but it affected your senses and informed your subconscious that there was wind in the painting. Take a closer look and see if it’s true.”
The students, including the onlookers, looked at the painting again and had a sudden realization.
When they turned back to the middle-aged man, their gazes were different.
Although this person was arrogant, he was really something.
“So that’s how it is.” The students muttered to themselves and carefully observed the painting once more.
They realized that it really was as described.
It was these reference objects that made them think that Tan Jinyi had drawn the wind.
Then, they heard the middle-aged man snort, “Any artist with some experience will know such a simple technique. It’s not something to exclaim about.”
“Tan Jinyi is still far from becoming a master,” the middle-aged man said.
“That’s right.” His companion, the man in the black coat, said, “His paintings are just for laymen to see. In our eyes, this painting is just average.”
The man in the down jacket added, “Mr. He Haoyan and Mr. Dong Yanzhen are both famous Masters. Tan Jinyi, as their successor, can’t be said to be incompetent. However, he still dares to display such a painting. It’s really an embarrassment for Mr. He Haoyan and Mr. Dong Yanzhen.”
“Young people are just eager to become famous,” said the woman with the braided hair.
The woman with the low ponytail shook her head in disappointment, “When painting, one has to pay attention to one’s state of mind. He’s so impatient and impetuous. How can he produce a good painting? If he really wants to draw a good painting, he has to focus on practicing and not be concerned with becoming famous early.”
“His three siblings all became famous at a young age. It’s not surprising that he’s anxious,” said the middle-aged man in the cap.
“Is his painting average?” Tan Mo said coldly, “Then, may I ask which part is average? Point it out so that Tan Jinyi will be convinced wholeheartedly. Go back and focus on practicing. Otherwise, how can people be convinced if you merely say it’s average but don’t point out why it’s considered average?”
The man in the black coat’s face puffed up, and he barked in a rough voice, “We are not his teachers, so we have no obligation to teach him! How is it average, what right do we have to tell this to him?”
“I thought that you guys were better than Mr. He Haoyan and Mr. Dong Yanzhen.” Tan Mo smiled, “Tan Jinyi was able to exhibit these works because they approved of it.”
