Chapter 499: Gloating
Myriad Mountain Embroiderer Official: “I happened to be paying attention to all kinds of master’s works, but today, I didn’t expect to find such a fraud among the myriad of flowers! Embroidery is part of our country’s precious culture. It has been pa.s.sed down for thousands of years, and it is definitely a top-notch cultural heritage. But I didn’t expect to find such a person who is using the name of embroidery to be a fraud. It’s really heartbreaking! Everyone, please take a look. If such a work is not artificially embroidered, then it must have been created by a top-notch embroiderer. Why isn’t it on an international level? Why isn’t it famous? Such a work, even if auctioned internationally, would sell for hundreds of thousands to millions per piece. But look at this person. They used low-quality white cotton fabric to create such a pattern. How dare they say that it’s hand embroidered? Not to mention that they actually said that it’s Tang embroidery!
“Do you know what Tang embroidery is? Do you know what it means to our country? Do you know what kind of earth-shattering impact it will have on embroidery? Do you really dare to use something historical randomly for such a lowly pursuit? It’s really heartbreaking! Everyone, you can take a look at this fake video and picture! @S. You have to explain!”

“Oh my G.o.d, just by looking at the work, even if it was drawn, this person must be at the level of a master of art, right? The Star Rose pattern is simply amazing!”
“I support Teacher Embroidery! Embroidery is a cultural heritage of our country. How can we let others fake it?”
“Tang embroidery… Do people nowadays use the word ‘Tang embroidery’ randomly? Do they know what Tang embroidery is?”
“I went to the Weibo account of the person my teacher mentioned and found that he or she had not produced any work in a while. I also found that their work was separated by a week and two weeks. This is the first time I’ve seen such an embroidered work be produced in just a week…”
“A top-notch master, Ancestor Yun, would take about three months to prepare a piece of cloud embroidery. Some would take a year to produce it. The difference in quality…”
“Even if it was just a painting of the Star Rose, it would take a few days, right? Let alone embroidery? However, it would be acceptable to sell such a painting for 1000 yuan…”
“Someone actually said that even if it was a drawing, it would be okay to sell it for 1000 yuan? If you drew it, so be it. Why did you say it was embroidered? Isn’t this just a fraud?”
“Someone even pretended that it was their work and deceived some people. Does the fraud know that their photo had been used by another fraud?”
…
Myriad Mountain Embroiderer was also a big deal on Weibo, but because he was showing off his own literature and his understanding of some rare non-material cultural heritage, he had acc.u.mulated a group of fake art fans. His was also a verified account with millions of followers.
He often looked for trouble on Weibo. If it was because of literature or something wrong someone had done, the other party would just apologize.
He had not found a topic to hype up in a long time. Now that Su Cha had appeared, he was excited!
Wasn’t it obvious that she had sent herself to his door?
After he posted on Weibo and saw the crowd supporting him, Myriad Mountain Embroiderer felt exceptionally satisfied.
Even if the other party did not respond, as long as he stood on the moral side of the cultural heritage, there would be a large number of people who would support him. If there were two certified masters in the industry who supported or praised him, his actions would be even smoother.
The other party only had a few thousand followers. What could they use to compete with him?
Of course, he never thought that the other party’s Tang embroidery might be real.
