946 Who is Dancing above the Clouds?! (1/2)
Little Beansprout laughed happily and said, ”Young Master Mo, your words are wrong; our Miss's youth is not just a short tens of years. Our Miss had consumed the Exquisite Lotus and Seven Colored Holy Fruit together, so her youth will keep for at least 500 years without declining!”
”Little Beansprout, be quiet!” Miao Xiao Miao warned in a low voice as she turned apologetically to Jun Mo Xie. ”Little Beansprout is young and doesn't understand many things… Young Master, please do not mind.”
”Being young and innocent is the best period of one's life; I can't help but to admire it, much less mind it? If it's envy, I'll admit that I truly am somewhat jealous of her!” Jun Mo Xie said with a suave smile.
”That Young Master can speak so carefreely, it can be seen that Young Master has a pure heart. Can Xiao Miao ask also, when was the last time that Young Master had laughed so wholeheartedly like this?” Miao Xiao Miao asked in return.
”The last time I laughed? … That'd be yesterday, if we're not counting this morning before I met you all!” Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and said. ”I remind myself constantly that the world is already at such a state. Just being able to continue living and breathing is already a great fortune that is worth laughing happily over! Thus, I would laugh everyday. Not only that, it would try to infect those around me to laugh along with me as well…”
Jun Mo Xie looked at her and smiled, ”Just by laughing a little everyday, look at how many worries disappear! It doesn't matter if the troubles are really gone, as long as I believe it!”
”Young Master is truly open minded. Xiao Miao is incomparably envious and jealous!” A sad look fleeted swiftly across Miao Xiao Miao's pupils, quickly returning to normal again. ”Now that Young Master has arrived at the Misty Illusory Manor, my guess is that you already know the importance of your Free and Natural Physique to us. I wonder what others plans Young Master has in the future?”
She lifted her head slowly and looked unblinkingly into Jun Mo Xie's eyes as she continued. ”We know that Young Master is immensely gifted in cultivation, and today, we saw the intricate and deep thoughts of Young Master's mind and the resolution and decisiveness with which you deal with matters. But I wonder, how is Young Master's literary talent?”
”That… do you prefer for me to be outstanding in literary talents? Or do you wish for me to be a bag of straw?” Jun Mo Xie asked with a slight smile.
”Young Master jests.” Miao Xiao Miao's face flushed faintly as a coy look flashed across her eyes. ”Can Young Master perhaps recite a poem or sing a song about your aspirations for this little girl to appraise?”
Jun Mo Xie exclaimed internally with praise as he heard this. If it was just normal speech, it was easy for him to spout lies all day long. But if it was about composing a poem on the spot, the difficulty was much higher. It would naturally be his true thoughts… Because poems were the voice of the heart. In such a short time, no one would be able to write something that didn't conform to their true feelings!
The request of this lass was first, to test his literary standards, and second, to find out his true thoughts and intentions. As she was scared that he would come up with a lie to humour her, she came up with this method.
He was a person with the Free and Natural Physique, as well as a character with wit which surpassed the masses. His methods were also decisive and ruthless. Clearly, this was the current impression that lass has of him. But if it was just that, it was still possible to arrange a strategy to target his weakness. The scary thing would be… if such a person was also cultured and talented in literature…
In that case, I might as well take the opportunity to shock you properly!
Jun Mo Xie fell silent for a moment, and he began in a long voice. ”Though man bow and live according to the will of the heavens, they might beget no salvation; those who defy the heavens should look to the skies and laugh! Who can be like me, creating great billows in the world with a point of my sword?”
As he spoke here, he paused and continued. ”The Sun and Moon are in my arms; watch as I rise above the crowd with my excellence!
”With my sword unsheathed, who dares to traverse the clouds alongside me?
”One sword confining lofty sentiments of a thousand ages; wild gales sweeping freely across the yellow sands. Rain of blood, pungent winds; man shall not fall!
”One sword conquering the world, tyrant of a thousand ages proclaimed as a hero. Standing loftily, I swear with my sword: In this life, we do not bow!
”Who is dancing above the clouds?! Let my gaze be cast past the edge of the sky; with deep sorrow in my guts, and my heart cold and covered with frost.
”The music is over and the audience is gone; one sword piercing through the nine firmaments in fury!
”Ancient and modern, roaming the world with the same smile on my face! All who follow after in the future shall nevermore reach greater heights!”
His voice rang out loud and fierce, like a killing aura from a great general on the battlefield!
Just by listening to his words, one could already feel their blood boiling with passion!
When he finished, the two were completely dumbfounded.
Miao Xiao Miao had not imagined that this fellow was actually so highly talented in both the pen and the sword, as well as possessing such high intelligence. Not mentioning the Misty Illusory Manor, even considering the entire world, how many of such outstanding youths could be found?
How many people could make such poetry featuring lines of seven characters intermixed with longer and shorter lines in such a short time? Not mentioning his natural physical aptitude, courage, wit, and potential… just his extraordinary literary talent was enough to cause others to view him differently!
However, that ambition of his… seemed to be a bit too mad.
