The Magic Pen Episode 2 Recap
> The Magic Pen Recap
Wen Jingzhan asked the other senior disciples to leave and inquired if Tong Zifu had really come to learn painting. Tong Zifu praised him as the top disciple of the academy, stating that only a painter with a pure heart could freely roam in the realm of ink and wash like his "Dragon Embarking on the Sea" painting. She showered him with all sorts of flattering words about his artwork. However, as she continued speaking, Tong Zifu felt increasingly uncomfortable, and Wen Jingzhan also sensed the insincerity in her words. Ming Yang went to close the door, and Tong Zifu was left alone to have a conversation.
The other senior disciples were calculating how much silver Wen Jingzhan could earn from the praises he received that day. When the master arrived and was asked about Wen Jingzhan's whereabouts, the other disciples said he was in seclusion, practicing his painting. Tong Zifu thought that Wen Jingzhan wanted to talk to her privately to plot against her, so she considered using the vase to strike him. But just then, Wen Jingzhan turned around, so Tong Zifu had to lie, claiming that she was feeling tired and just resting her head against the vase.
Tong Zifu insisted that she had come to learn painting, but she felt that Wen Jingzhan didn't believe her. Wen Jingzhan believed she was there to supervise him, and he feared that their agreement for him to join the military might be canceled. So he decided to keep her there and find a way to handle the situation after successfully becoming a painter. Tong Zifu wanted to demonstrate her painting skills, but she didn't want to stand out too much to avoid jealousy. Therefore, she casually painted a few strokes, but Wen Jingzhan saw through her actions and demanded that she stay in the painting garden for three months. Tong Zifu was intimidated by Wen Jingzhan's skills and obediently agreed to stay. However, the expensive tuition fee troubled her, so she resolved to earn money by painting.
