121: Are you qualified?

It seemed Tao Yue'er heard the discussions, and her expression turned displeased as she looked at everyone.

Seeing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

It was no joke; being hated by the Tao Family in Hancheng City was tantamount to seeking death.

The Tao Family had a Venerable Realm mighty figure presiding over it.

The highest cultivation of the martial artists who came here to request paintings was only Flying Heaven Realm.

True Venerable Realm mighty figures would not easily walk among mortals.

Tao Yue'er came here not to request a painting, but merely to meet the person who painted.

She wanted to see what kind of magic this person possessed.

This was because her cousin, Tao Rou, with whom she had a good relationship, had made significant progress in cultivation simply by obtaining a painting.

She, who had always disliked cultivating, had broken through from the early Spirit Building Realm directly to the Ninth Heaven of Spirit Roaming Realm in just ten years.

Such a cultivation speed, looking at the entire Tao Family, only Tao Family Ancestor Tao Qian could achieve.

Even Tao Yue'er herself only made great progress in cultivation after obtaining Lin Mu's jade pendant.

Furthermore, her cousin's husband, whom she had always looked down upon, also seemed like a changed person.

During this time, he actually cultivated from an ordinary person with no cultivation to the Spirit Roaming Realm.

Moreover, relying on his extraordinary courage and insight, he became the object of worship for all the younger generation of the Tao Family.

Such a shocking change was merely due to a single pointer from the artist?

Such a capable person, even if he couldn't be brought under the Tao Family, was worth befriending.

Tao Yue'er moved her steps lightly, and everyone blocking her path was pushed away by an invisible wave of air.

Those who were pushed away had been enraged a second ago.

But upon seeing Tao Yue'er's appearance, they all chose to remain silent.

Tao Yue'er thus easily walked to the front of the shop.

At this time, although there were many people in front of the shop, it was not crowded.

Everyone was tacitly lining up and waiting at the door.

Tao Yue'er used her old trick again, pushing away the last few people blocking her way.

Just then.

One person standing at the very front of the line was actually able to withstand Tao Yue'er's air wave, standing there unmoving.

Tao Yue'er, on a whim, increased her strength a bit.

But that person remained unmoved.

Tao Yue'er's brows furrowed slightly.

Just as she was about to use her full strength, the person in front of her spoke, his back to her.

"In front of the Grandmaster's door, this old man does not wish to kill anyone."

Judging by the tone of this person's voice, he should be an elderly man.

But it was this old man's light remark.

It immediately scared Tao Yue'er, making her freeze in place.

The old man's tone carried endless killing intent.

How many people must he have killed to possess such astonishing killing aura?

Although both were in the Flying Heaven Realm, Tao Yue'er had almost no experience in fighting to the death.

Facing such a fierce and evil person, she couldn't help but feel like retreating.

After a moment of contemplation.

Tao Yue'er said with a hint of apology, "Daoist friend, I apologize. This humble girl has an important matter and wishes to meet the owner of this shop."

"I hope Daoist friend can make an exception."

The old man in front smiled sinisterly, "Hehe! Who here doesn't have an important matter?

"What are you, to deserve this old man's consideration!"

The old man's tone was full of disdain, and he did not show her any courtesy just because Tao Yue'er was a woman.

Tao Yue'er's face turned crimson with anger.

As a favored daughter of heaven, even the prodigies of the Heavenly Dao Sect treated her with utmost respect.

When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Her expression turned cold. Although she had the urge to act.

Reason still triumphed over impulse.

She knew very well that she was absolutely no match for this old man.

However, she did not choose to swallow her anger.

"You ask what I am? I am the legitimate eldest daughter of the Tao Family, the direct granddaughter of the Tao Family Ancestor."

"The personal disciple of Vice Sect Master Yun Feiyang of the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"I wonder if such an identity is enough to qualify?"

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly turned around and looked at Tao Yue'er.

He asked with a serious expression, "You are Tao Yue'er of the Tao Family?"

Seeing that the old man had heard of her name, Tao Yue'er couldn't help but feel a little proud.

She said indifferently, "That's right, this Miss is Tao Yue'er."

The old man, hearing this, couldn't help but hesitate.

After the great human calamity twenty years ago, the high-end combat power of various major forces suffered heavy losses.

Many of the younger generation began to emerge.

And this Tao Yue'er of the Tao Family was undoubtedly the brightest new star.

Not only did she break through to the Flying Heaven Realm at a young age, but she was also taken as a personal disciple by the Great Emperor Realm Yun Feiyang.

For a time, Tao Yue'er became the subject of conversation for all martial artists.

This old man naturally knew Tao Yue'er.

Not to mention the Heavenly Dao Sect, which he could not afford to offend.

Even that Tao Family Ancestor was not someone his family could easily provoke.

Thinking of this, the sinister expression on his face changed, and he said with a face full of smiles.

"So it's Miss Tao. This old man was presumptuous and abrupt. I hope Miss Tao won't bother with an old fella like me."

As he spoke, he consciously moved to the side.

"Miss Tao, please. This old man is hale and hearty, waiting a little longer is no problem."

"Miss Tao, being of noble status, cannot waste time here like us common folk."

The onlookers, seeing this, all showed expressions of disdain.

They couldn't help but think.

"Is this still that incomparably domineering Flying Heaven Realm expert from just now?"

"Why is there no backbone at all?"

"If it were me, I would never bow to the powerful."

The old man, seeing the expressions of the crowd, seemed to know what they were thinking.

He said pointedly, "What? Do you have any objections to this old man's actions?"

"If you have an opinion, speak it out, and this old man can give him the spot."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Dare not, dare not. Miss Tao should naturally be first."

Others chimed in, agreeing.

As if they had forgotten what they had just thought.

The old man, seeing this, snorted disdainfully.

Then, with a benevolent expression, he said to Tao Yue'er, "Miss Tao, please."

Tao Yue'er also did not stand on ceremony, but directly bypassed the old man and walked forward.

Tao Yue'er did not stop at the old man's original position.

Her steps did not halt as she walked directly towards the tightly shut shop door.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"No!"

"Stop!"

Tao Yue'er was startled by everyone's sudden shouts, and she paused.

The hand she had extended to push the door was withdrawn.

She turned around and said displeased, "What do you mean by this?"

The old man had also shouted just now.

Now, seeing Tao Yue'er inquire, he quickly said, "Miss Tao, you don't know."

"The Grandmaster only creates one painting a day."

"After the painting is done, he will open the door himself and choose a fated person."

"If someone disturbs the Grandmaster in the middle, then the Grandmaster will not paint today."

Tao Yue'er scoffed, "This airs is even greater than my grandfather's. I've seen him, and he doesn't even need to wait."

With that, she no longer paid attention to everyone's dissuasion.

She turned around and pushed open the shop door with both hands.

Upon seeing the person painting inside the shop, she couldn't help but freeze in place.

How could it be him?
