Chapitre 444: Chapter 440: Painting Within a Painting

Huo Sining rubbed the small knife on the edge of the paper, evidently intending to separate the layers of the paper.

Ma Liwen began to feel uneasy in his heart, could it be that he had really been mistaken, and that beneath this paper, there really was something else hidden?

Huo Sining didn't care about what expressions or thoughts Ma Liwen had at the moment; she carefully and attentively abraded the edges.

The paper on the surface of this painting was raw Xuan paper, and separating it from the lower layer of cooked paper and sizing without damaging the paper itself required immense patience.

Huo Sining, filled with theory but lacking practice, was doing this for the first time, which is why her technique was not that skilled. By the time she had abraded the paper open, fine beads of sweat had formed on her forehead.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about those things and gently lifted the first layer of Xuan paper.
