“Young Master Jun, our two Masters are very graceful They’ve always considered victory and defeat to be like ains or losses I disdain the very thought of co down to your level, however… I think it is i Master — what is the appropriate counter-verse to your riddle? If an exceptionally good counter-verse exists… kindly tell us and broaden ourHeavenly Literature Institute spoke as he stood up Apparently, he wasn’t convinced of their defeat
“Or are you a bigger hypocrite than that Li You Ran?”
Jun Mo Xie looked at him with a stunned expression on his face, “I request that you please use your brain before you speak Please don’t use your butt to deal with every probles difficult for everyone if I had an appropriate counter-verse? Were you kicked by a donkey in your childhood? How can the Wenxing Heavenly Literature Institute produce an idiot such as you?!”
“Oh I see… are you deaf apart fro stupid as well? I clearly stated that no one has been able to solve it before I set this problem before everyone! I merely borrowed it; from which ear did you hear that I created that verse myself? I think that you either have no brains… or that it suffers froal infection! You want me to provide you with a counter-verse? You have some nerve to open your mouth! This institute deht when it loses? Isn’t this unreasonable?”
No one spoke in rebuttal when Jun Mo Xie said these words After all… he had clearly stated that the verse wasn’t his own… but so the man to book’ The scholars were unable reply to the verse Therefore, one of the back some measure of honor to their Institute Nevertheless, it was a failed scheme What’s more… his attempt provoked a few scoffs froer
The others had no idea what to do Then, Li You Ran suddenly opened his eyes [What’s the matter with this man? He has soer hypocrite than Li You Ran?”]
[da a hypocrite?]
“Is it possible that the Masters may have turned around to send an apprentice to raise a scene after they conceded their defeat? Is it possible that the Wenxing Heavenly Literature Institute is a sore loser?” Jun Mo Xie appeared very angry as he spoke, “Anyway, it doesn’tMaster if you can’t accept a defeat I ood man, but I respect the wise and venerate the worthy”
[So you’ve known that you aren’t a good person?] Everyone in the great hall rolled their eyes
[Do you respect the wise and venerate the worthy in practice? It seee down to hell]
“Yan Feng, stand down! A defeat is a defeat; it’s pointless to argue Why would you try for an incomplete victory? This isHeavenly Literature Institute can’t pull-back in the next opportunity?” Kong Ling Yang’s lips trembled as he used those harsh words to scold and discredit his disciple
[We don’t ai was unable to keep his thoughts to hiuished state of mind This was the way it was — there was always victory or defeat However, he had seely lost the respect accorded to a Master He had always attained comprehensive victories in the past However, this feast had always been held on an island in the middle of the Moon Lake And the Emperor would never be present for the occasion However, the venue was the Imperial Palace this time around Therefore, the Ee of the E officials The ier than before However, he had lost this time…
How could he not feel depressed…?
Fatty Tang had see Heavenly Literature Institute had hated the s, and had been replaced by the Young Master Jun at the top It see Heavenly Literature Institute would never forget their hatred for him even after tens-of-thousands years Their hatred for Jun Mo Xie had suddenly been embedded in their very bones
“He he… respected Master Kong spoke the truth A scholar only ponders on counter-verses during his leisure time The true embodiment of an educated man’s talent resides in his poe an eyelid, and continued, “Is it possible that the Institute won’t be able to ard as well…?”
This sentence was very vicious
If the Wenxing Institute was to concede at this point of time… in front of every civil and military leader of the country… wouldn’t it be akin to ad that the entire Institute didn’t possess the skill toInstitute fall to such a level? How could they agree to leave the ain
[I can see it now This Li You Ran’s intentions aren’t good This pretty boy doesn’t er in an effort to compel me to show my cards!]
Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and leaned to one side In fact, he nearly cau Xiao Yi’s face Then, he sht out his pre-planned card, “The WenXing institute has brought several scholars, but we also have a large talent pool on our side How could the Young Masters froreat fa tale since this Young Master and Young Master You Ran have joined hands to face the Wenxing Institute — regardless of who the final victor is In However, Young Master Li You Ran has just spoken that he ads He he… thisMaster has surpassed hi Master Li… he he he… did everyone hear that? Therefore, there’s no reason to challenge me if you’re not even on the sa Master is very busy; each old Therefore, I shouldn’t waste it!”
These words had made for a beautiful counterattack Not only did he tie in every Young Master present to his warshi+p in one oat These words had played an offensive role and a defensive role In fact, he had executed this ed their gaze However, the object of their attention wasn’t Jun Mo Xie — it was Dugu Xiao Yi Jun Mo Xie had leaned towards her, nodded, smiled, and then spoken those words These words had allowed him room to attack, and then retreat Even a duh spot They could u Xiao Yi’s pretty face inside the frame as a distraction [How could such a sha phrase without half-a-trace of obscenity in it?]
[This guy’s words were unnatural for his nature It sounded like a general endorsele word of profanity in it! That was bizarre It seems like he had practiced this beforehand!]
Everyone watched as Jun Mo Xie fell back onto his chair and closed his eyes It was evident that he wouldn’t explain what he had done even if he were inquired Everyone fro Institute felt powerless Therefore, they turned to Li You Ran since they didn’t have a better option “So, we turn to Young Master Li You Ran for advice in the second round”
Li You Ran stood up and nodded his head slightly, “I aly didn’t hold any resent hi Master Jun had won that round in all honesty It didn’t lorious or not A as a win He believed that he was the heaven’s favored child So, how could Li You Ran defeat hiaze invariably flitted across the hall from atop the Imperial throne, and settled on Li You Ran However, he continued to observe Jun Mo Xie, who sat beside Dugu Xiao Yi, frohts were incomprehensible
“We’ve heard the opposite side’s verses But everyone knows about Young Master Li’s fas So, how about we compare theMaster Li for guidance on the notes,” A scholar got up and walked towards the E shots He then turned to face Li You Ran after he had adhered to the necessary cerehtly took out a white, jade-shafted, flute
“Young Master Jin Ying’s tunes can move the heaven and earth! How can this You Ran ever hope to compare with you? We needn’t compete this round; I admit defeat,” Li You Ran smiled bitterly However, Li You Ran’s deliberate admission of defeat had a different purpose behind it He didn’t wish to exert himself unnecessarily After all, he was in presence of the Emperor at the moment Therefore, he wanted to for to achieve the sa Zhen was a formidable opponent It would be extremely difficult to beat him in this particular field Every man in his family was handed-down the traditional flute skills after they turned fifteen Their music ell-known in the entire continent So, how could Li You Ran possibly win thisInstitute had dispatched him with the hope that he’d win-back a round, and tie the two sides in a draw This battle had started to turn rough
“He he… Young Master Jun and I are asha to concede defeat” Li You Ran’s expression didn’t change as he continued, “The next round will be taken by Young Master Jun Li You Ran wishes the Third Young Master the very best”
[I, Jun Mo Xie, says fuck off! This brat htaway conceded his defeat This is too h opponent — I would’ve still roared-out a popular song from my throat! I’d prefer to die than to be intimidated to death!]
These feasts would usually start with enerally followed by the regales of the reat and learned ies, tactics, welfare policies, foreign policies, etc — till every art had been deemed as ‘discussed’ in its entirety
Jun Mo Xie’s words had prepped the two factions for a un powder like acrid smell of their rivalry was much more intense than of any confrontation he had experienced in his previous life Each person who had previously participated in these feasts are that the Young Master Jun and Tang Yuan were participating in such a fierce competition for the first time Therefore, they lacked the obvious experience
They had surely participated in fierce competitions in the past But… their co-up young girls Those circumstances couldn’t remotely be mentioned in the sahts — Sun Cheng He — would now consult with others, and set a theme for poetry The contestants would then coed based on their e' I ask both the sides to choose their candidates,” Sun Cheng He looked at Jun Mo Xie, shook his head, and sighed He could already judge the winner and the loser
[Jun Mo Xie isn’t going to win; he’s going to -stock of himself]
A scholar clad in blue stood up It could be gathered from the introduction that he was called Qin Qiu shi+ It was obvious from his name itself that his parents had an obsession, and wanted him to obtain scholarly honors to sate it
”I request Young Master Jun to grant me a consultation,” Qin Qiu shi+ cleared his throat and spoke Half-the-incense-stick had burned down, and he had spent then entire tined the task to write-down the poem prepared himself He put his elbow on the desk, suspended his wrist in the air, and waited for Qin Qiu shi+ to start He was supposed to record everything
”The brave h icy-e
His heart was diligent — he needed no road,
The stars in the sky weren’t far
He had hoped for his country's blessing in that life,
His ardent blood had cast a rainbow bridge
He seeive up — he brandished his writing brush”
Qin Qiu shi+ was very talented He had no option since the incense stick had burnt-down to half of its length However, this verse was rather unexpected His creative-concept wasn’t first-class, but it ell-balanced; it could be considered ‘good’ He had clearly explained the concept of ‘learning’ Moreover, he had showcased the country's lofty ideals, and the grandeur of his personal aspirations
The court eunuch finished recording the poeave it to the Eo over the verses The Emperor turned to look at Qin Qiu shi+'s face He looked at hie in his expression Then, he waved his hand and handed the poem to the court officials so they could pass it around until everyone had looked at it The court officials nodded after they had looked at it; they proclaiood’ The officials were very talent as individuals However, they thought that if they were in the sa man… under such enormous pressure… tasked to come up with a poem… with only half an incense stick left — they reckoned they ht not have been able to produce such a result
Jun Mo Xie applauded loudly, ”I must concede defeat You’re too quick, too quick”
”Many thanks for this praise, Young Master Jun I have little knowledge and talent So, you and the elders e me” Qin Qiu shi+ spoke humbly of his profound verses He then continued ”Still, I uidance in this subject This person wishes to hear your reply”
“My reply? This Young Master doesn’t have so much talent I can’t be that quick; it's not in my nature to finish my artwork so fast,” Jun Mo Xie hurriedly and modestly declined the invitation However, he sounded very disorderly to everyone present
Tang Yuan burst-out laughing He was unable to control his laughter He even clasped his belly after some time His face twitched with spas Yuan had endured Jun Mo Xie's influence for a long time He had clearly understood the concealed jab Jun Mo Xie had landed with regard to his ‘lasting ability’ However, other people hadn’t understood the Young Master Jun’s words Fatty, nevertheless, had understood their true hter
Everyone else looked at Tang Yuan with disdain since they hadn’t understood the mystery of these words [This Fatty is very insincere! You’re here with Jun Mo Xie, but you start to laugh the moment you see his defeat… Such an individual is truly conte Master Jun is very talented; so why did he concede defeat? This won't do; he must recite a poe jued Jun Mo Xie
”Does the Young Master despise the thought of co with us?” Mei Gao Jie's eyes turned to Jun Mo Xie as he continued in an awe inspiringscholars!”
”Young Master Jun belongs to a military family… So, it is unavoidable that he doesn’t ifted scholar chuckled He was brimmed with a sense of contentment and happiness at this achievement He seemed very pleased to see Jun Mo Xie's state of hu that he has conceded defeat in this matter?”
These lines were intended as a corny joke which wasn’t supposed to hter was full of malice
[That’s a fact; I do look down on you!]
