Chapter 923, Part 1: This Huht Parts
“The main character obviously needs to show up at the final decisive moment,” Zu An said His words immediately drew the irritation of those present, and they i shameless and cocky Zu An was on cloud nine when he saw the incoe points, so he taunted them a bit more
The smile on Lady Nan Xun’s face also stiffened She couldn't help but remind him, “May I ask if you have an answer to this prompt?”
Zu An pretended to think for asunset clouds overfloith crisp coolness; silently, the starry strea audience fell silent They all began to mutter to themselves The more they repeated the words, the more profound they seemed
The exceptional beauty in the special room exclaimed in surprise, “That fellow actually possessed such literary talents? I’ve really underesti down on Zu An all this ti?” She couldn't sense the intricacies behind the words with just her knowledge and experience
The exceptional beauty nodded “It is” Then, she fell silent, clearly not intending to explain herself
Thedown onto explain it torevealed an expression of surprise, re He’s worth a second look fro master”
Those around hisaid indifferently, “The fact that he can even be co for hihed and voiced their agreede couldn't help but say, “I didn’t expect thiswhy sister Chuyan chose him back then It was probably this part of hiyuan harrumphed “Literary skills are just tricks; they aren’t useful for anything They’re only good for tricking girls”
Nan Xun also revealed an expression of surprise Her beautiful eyes swirled onder as she spoke “There are no words like ‘ht’ or ‘like water’; rather, it uses the words ‘overflow’ and ‘crisp coolness’ And yet, they still iives off a clear and refreshi+ng feeling The stars pale in comparison to the moon; the words ‘starry strea ‘Silently, the starry streaht to make sound, yet they becoives off a powerful feeling of the vastness of the cos of jade’ speaks of the moon’s pure and incorruptible beauty; these words not only describe its est its round shape Nowhere in the verse does it state that it was the fulland delightful it is to the writer Furtheriven courteous comments on the other people’s verses, and she’d had to rack her brains to barely enu quite frustrated But this was now sincere praise, and the more she spoke about the verse, the more excited she became
Zu An was quite shocked This courtesan really was good at this sort of thing! After all, it wasn’t so easy for scholars to praise each other Not only did one have to speak words of substance, one also had to make sure to ‘scratch’ their particular itch No wonder she’s a courtesan queen! Her level can al for those literature reading comprehension tests!
The others felt incredibly jealous when they heard Lady Nan Xun’s enthusiastic praise That Zu An doesn’t look like anything special, but he actually has some skills here…
Then, they looked toward Yu Nan to watch him suffer Lady Nan Xun had used him as a comparison to teach the man with no filter a lesson, but now, Yu Nan had instead been put on the spot Hoas that?
Yu Nan had started off so strong, and considering how handsoht that he was the one uest So now, they were obviously looking forward to seeing his reaction
Their opinions of Zu An eased up when they thought of that They found hi the fiery looks all around him, Yu Nan coldly asked, “Who wrote this verse of yours? What’s the title? I’ve studied extensively for h I can’t claihout history by heart, I can still be considered proficient And yet, I’ve never heard of these verses of yours”
The others quickly realized the sa when they heard those words They whispered to each other, “That’s right! These two lines sounded excellent, but we’ve never heard of the froht be the one who possessed the highest literary accomplishments in the room
Even Nan Xun froze up for a norant and inexperienced, but I have never heard of theht just be that I have not read it all yet”
Her response was carefully given and didn’t offend either side But the more she spoke that way, the more certain people became that the poem didn’t exist Their attention shi+fted toward Zu An At first, their gazes had been full of praise, but now, it had been replaced by ether the two verses to pretend they came from some famous poet
Zu An was about to say that it was fropo[1], but he suddenly stopped After all, that person didn’t exist in this world, so no one would believe him if he said that name But that didn’t matter; it wasn’t a problem for him at all
“You see, those famous verses were practically all used up by the rest of you, so the leftover verses weren’t particularly great I’d only be defiling Lady Nan Xun’s ears by reciting theht out a verse I wrote in the past I hope Lady Nan Xun doesn’t find it uncomfortable,” Zu An said caliarizing? If it didn’t exist here in the first place, it was purely an output of culture! Zu An thought, I’po would be happy to see his poetry spread into a different world
Nan Xun’s eyes lit up “This is a poeed quickly She even began to use the title ‘young master’
“I’ve shown Lady Nan Xun a poor side of me,” Zu An replied
