C182 Lawless (1/2)

Wang Xiaojian's second poem allowed him to see an enormous gap.

”Especially that sentence, when people are sad and happy, when the moon is bright and round,” it was simply to the point where it revealed the truth of the world.

He was sure that these words would be passed down through the ages.

It was also because of this that his confidence was shattered, and he conceded in the second question.

However, the competitive Hu Rui did not give up.

He was also a scholar, so he knew how much talent was needed to produce a poem that could last through the ages.

Thus, he still had a chance.

He admitted defeat and planned to turn the tide in the third question.

Letting Wang Xiaojian write a poem first was also to see the level of the third poem he could compose.

If he wasn't good enough, then he was also improvising. If the level was high, then he would pick the best poem from the ones he had written in the past.

He believed that he would definitely win the third question.

Hu Rui was full of confidence as he patiently waited for Wang Xiaojian to finish reading the poem.

He never thought that Wang Xiaojian would actually be able to compose such a poem.

This time, there were a total of three questions to the battling lyrics.

They were, ”Spring”, ”Autumn” and ”Love”.

Hu Rui had thought that Wang Xiaojian would at most write a normal lyric poem for the third question's theme.

For example, love, or friendship. If one consumed too much talent, it wouldn't be too astonishing.

But he did not expect that Wang Xiaojian's first sentence would include even Chun Qiu.

It was clearly romantic, but it encompassed Spring and Autumn.

Almost as soon as Wang Xiaojian finished reading the first sentence, Hu Rui knew that he was in danger.

However, he still held onto hope that what Wang Xiaojian had written was just ordinary lyrics.

”What time is it?” How much of the past.

Last night, the east wind blew again, making it hard for people to look back. ”

As he listened nervously, he heard despair.

What kind of feelings were the most noble ones?

It was not the love of a girl, but a country under the heavens!

Starting with the Spring Flower, Autumn and Moon, Lee Bai had written a patriotic poem, which had resonated with everyone.

Hu Rui always thought that he was talented.

However, at this moment, he discovered how big of a gap there was between him and the person in front of him.

If we compare Lee Bai with the bright moon in the sky, then he is at most a firefly in the mountains.

How dare the light of the firefly compete with Haoyue?!

This was the difference between the Heavens and the Earth! It was completely incomparable!

Hu Rui finally understood what it meant to overestimate one's capabilities.

At this moment, he realized that from the moment he made the bet with Lee Bai, he had lost.

Without any luck, their talents were not on the same level.

However, losing was one thing, losing face was another.

According to the bet, once he lost, he would scold himself as Sharpei.

He, Hu Rui, was a prince of Shang Country, how could he possibly scold him, Shabi, in front of so many people?

If this news were to spread to the Shang Country, his entire image would be ruined.

At the moment, Hu Rui's face was gloomy.

No matter what, he would not curse himself.

He had to do something so that he wouldn't have to curse himself out in public.

He looked at Wang Xiaojian, and with an idea in his mind, he forced out a look of admiration from his face, and said to Wang Xiaojian: ”Lee Bai, there's no need to compete anymore for the third question. This King admits defeat. When This King wrote a poem this time, what kind of person would there be that would be someone stronger than him? There would be no limit in the sky, and This King was willing to admit defeat. ”

Ah!” Prince Rui has admitted defeat again.

”Yeah, why did he admit defeat again?”
