Chapter 512: I Will Not Believe
The old man in the traditional Chinese costume had the demeanor of a master. If Su Cha had not seen his behavior just now…
The other party obviously did not expect Su Cha to suddenly appear here. He coughed a few times and felt that he could not maintain his image. He asked Su Cha with a poker face, “Who are you? How did you get up here?”
The bald old man chuckled.
Su Cha roughly knew the ident.i.ty of the old man in the Tang suit, but she did not know who the other man was.
She said respectfully, “h.e.l.lo, I’m Su Cha. Yesterday, my grandma called Master Yun, who said that I could come to find you today, so I’m here now.”
“So it’s you!”
The old man in the traditional Chinese costume glared at Su Cha and scanned her from head to toe. He reckoned that Su Cha had seen what happened just now. At this moment, he held his arms and his face was slightly raised. He tried his best to save the image that he had just lost. “I am the Cloud Ancestor. So the granddaughter Ming Shuang was talking about is you!”
He snorted. “Ming Shuang said on the phone that you know how to embroider Tang embroidery. Little girl, do you know what Tang embroidery is?”
“Yes.”
The mention of Tang Embroidery was also a shocking matter. The Cloud Ancestor did not scold her immediately after he spoke. It was already considered that he maintained his manners for Ming Shuang’s sake.
Su Cha took out the box from her backpack and opened it. The handkerchief was folded neatly inside. “I know it’s useless to say more. I came here this time to ask Master Yun Zu to be a witness and to see if my embroidery technique is Tang embroidery. If you can prove it, I will spread this technique to the world. If the reverse happens, Tang embroidery will truly disappear from this world.”
“What nonsense!”
The Cloud Ancestor was fuming. The kind-looking bald old man beside him smiled and did not speak. At that moment, he only glanced at the item in the box.
The Cloud Ancestor looked at the handkerchief indifferently. He felt that if the person in front of him had not been recommended by Ming Shuang, she would have been beaten up.
He reached out and took out a silk handkerchief from the box. With a shake of his hand, the handkerchief fell down. When the pattern on it appeared, Ancestor Yun’s expression changed.
How could a true master not see through it at a glance? Just one look was enough to shock the Cloud Ancestor.
As if in disbelief, he flipped the handkerchief over and over. His fingers rubbed the surface of the handkerchief and felt the fine needle and leg lines. After a long while, he said in disbelief, “I can’t tell which embroidery method this belongs to based on the needle and leg lines alone, but this finished product is undoubtedly that of a master. The pattern is simple, but the needlework is not.”
The bald old man next to him said slowly, “Oh, it’s rare for you to be surprised. Haven’t you always despised embroidery nowadays?”
“Old Bald Donkey, shut your dog mouth!”
Ancestor Yun glared at him. After realizing that Su Cha was looking at him, he coughed dryly and continued, “I can confirm that this is definitely not a simple embroidery based on this pattern, but I don’t believe that it’s a Tang embroidery. It’s something that has been extinct for hundreds of years. Do you think it’s real? The Su Embroidery Sect, which is a side branch, can embroider such a pattern. Moreover, if you follow the pattern and figure out the shadow pattern, I believe that a few major embroidery methods can produce such an effect.”
Su Cha was not surprised.
After all, he knew a lot and knew the history of Tang Embroidery. It was not easy for something that had been extinct for hundreds of years to reappear.
