Old Wu tried to tempt him.
The National Art Association, compared to the City Art Association, has a much higher prestige, stricter qualifications for review, and fewer members. Even Old Wu himself hadn't gotten in.
He knew that Gu Tongxiang had always been envious of the opportunity to be nominated for the National Art Association.
Gu Tongxiang was genuinely tempted for a moment.
Their family had taken pride in being Imperial Painters for generations, and in modern society today, being able to join a national-level Art Association would be almost equivalent.
If successful, Gu Tongxiang felt that his lifelong painting could finally have some closure.
It would be worth it to his ancestors.
But then he thought, this painting technique was painstakingly developed by his grandson, so why should it be taught to outsiders?
"It's not worth it."
Gu Tongxiang resisted the temptation, shook his head, and refused.
