Chapter 255 (2/2)

This sudden shout made many of the listeners spit out their tea in response, but unabated Third Master Yu continued with his second phrase, ”The b*st*rds of this world are many!”

Yu BingYan pursed up her mouth, looking as though she was laughing but at the same time furious, and for the rest of the aristocratic families, they were already giggling to themselves. A few of the elderly judges were already looking annoyed, huffing at their beards.

Yu ManTian now turned one round, the blade in his hands constantly refracting light, and stately shouted out the last two stanzas of his ‘poem’, ”If one provokes the fire in this old man’s heart, I’ll raze and kill all these b*st*rds!”

Returning his sword to the sheath in satisfaction, Third Master Yu tilted his head in pride, ”How is it? Each of my phrases were rhyming! Not bad right! Praise me, I can accept it!”

Everyone fell to the ground in shambles!

”Clap clap clap…” The sound of applause was heard, and someone’s voice could be heard praising loudly, ”Good poem, really good poem!” This was followed by a long and clear whistle. That was Ling Chi!

All the elderly scholars had dark-lined disapproving faces!

”This could be considered a poem?” A jeering laugh sounded once more, clearly heard even through the laughter in the entire hall! This was the same voice of the person who had mocked Yu ManTian earlier, and with that ephemeral voice of hers, despite the large number of experts in the Smoky Thea Tower, none were able to pinpoint where exactly this person was hiding!

Third Master Yu let out a bellow, ”Who dares to say that this isn't a poem? Come out now!” His voice boomed like the thunder, and immediately, the whole hall turned absolutely silent! Yu ManTian swept his hawk-like eyes across the room once more, but not surprisingly, he couldn't locate the person!

The moment the voice sounded once again, Ling Tian’s eyes immediately fixed on Heavenly Moon Chamber!

He turned his head and instructed a servant, ”Call your tower master over!”

The la.s.s gave a sound of a.s.sent and headed out.

After a while, Gu XiYan rushed in. Seeing Ling Tian coldly staring at her, Gu XiYan felt her whole body covered in cold sweat! Only then did Ling Tian ask, ”Who’s situated in Heavenly Moon Chamber? Why did I not know of such a character coming to Smoky Thea Tower!”

Gu XiYan wiped her sweat before softly answering, ”Begging for forgiveness, but that room was the option picked by the butler of the Imperial Family after knowing that the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber was already occupied!”

Ling Tian frowned. He had of course known about this matter, and originally thought that it was the entourage of some prince or princess from another country, but to think that the voice belonged to Qian ShuiRou! Since Qian ShuiRou could speak inside, this meant that her authority was also the highest! Thus Ling Tian was certain that the reason that he hadn't received any information was that n.o.body from the Sky Bearing Imperial Family was within the chamber!

If this was the case, then therein lies a problem. Who was Qian ShuiRou? Why would the Sky Bearing Imperial Family help her to reserve the Heavenly Moon Chamber? For the arrogant Imperial Family to settle only for the A-cla.s.s Heavenly Moon Chamber, was it because Qian ShuiRou didn't want to raise suspicions about her ident.i.ty? Then what was her relation to the Imperial Family, and what exactly was hidden from him?

After muttering irresolutely to himself, he asked again, ”Do you know how many are there inside? Who is serving them? Any of our own people?”

Gu XiYan answered in a low voice, ”There were a total of four people at the start, I’m not sure if more came. All of them wore wide-brimmed hats, hiding their faces, and rejected any of our hospitality.”

”Oh?” Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. This was strange! It seems like he would need to pay a visit to have a chat with the butler Long QianXing.

Ling Tian called Ling Chen over and whispered a few words in her ear. She agreed and immediately set off.

Quietly standing beside him, Gu XiYan only felt the aura around Ling Tian becoming more and more sinister, and she couldn't help but feel her heart racing, the sweat on her face unceasingly flowing.

The sounds of applause rang non-stop from the outside, evidently a few of the talented people had also begun to showcase their skills, but Ling Tian had completely lost interest in this scholarly meet!
