Stroking his beard, Duke Jiu chuckled, "Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"
The old servant chuckled, "Old master, of course, I want to hear the truth."
Duke Jiu retracted the smile on his face and said, "Can 'er is able to defeat that bastard, but Can' er is also far inferior to that little bastard!"
This seemed to be a contradiction, but the old servant immediately understood what was going on. The first sentence was: Nothing is predestined, and everything can be changed. The second sentence was to say that Shangguan Can was indeed inferior to Chu Yang in many aspects!
On top of that, as Shangguan Can's grandfather, Duke Jiu naturally had confidence in his grandson. In fact, it could also be said that Duke Jiu's confidence in Shangguan Can was equivalent to his confidence in himself. After all, he was the one who taught Shangguan Can!
"Young Master Can isn't the only one who is dissatisfied. Old master is clearly dissatisfied as well!"
The old servant couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He knew his master very well.
In truth, what Shangguan Can had learned from Duke Jiu wasn't just limited to what the latter had said. He also understood what Duke Jiu had left unsaid.
Shangguan Bao had requested for Chu Yang to compose a poem, so why would Chu Yang give face to his parents and not his grandfather? That was because Chu Yang knew that his grandfather was Duke Jiu, so he was bound to be a reasonable person. Naturally, such a person could be persuaded with reason.
Furthermore, through the song 《Elope》, Shangguan Can also understood the meaning behind Chu Yang's words. His elder sister Shangguan Lan's marriage to Chu Yang wasn't a marriage of lower status, and even if his family wanted to stop it, they wouldn't be able to do so.
"He sure is confident and arrogant!"
Because of this, he thought of Chu Yang's wanton and unrestrained behavior. He was also the same. However, in comparison, he realized that his unrestrained behavior was nothing more than a profligate scion. On the other hand, Chu Yang wasn't one of them.
Chu Yang's wanton and unrestrained behavior was the result of all the restraints of the world. All the enmity, all the contempt and ridicule of his enemies, was the most vivid embodiment of his free self.
In this regard, Shangguan Can realized that he was far inferior to Chu Yang. As a result, he became even more hardworking in the following days, almost not sleeping at all!
…
When Shangguan Can was reminded by Duke Jiu, Chu Yang was blocked by a group of people on his way to the Wen Palace Hall.
After this group of people blocked Chu Yang, they didn't make a move. They just stopped him.
After he spoke, they arrogantly informed him that someone had ordered them to do so, and that person was about to arrive.
Chu Yang did not know who it was, but he was not afraid, so he waited.
"This is Chu Yang, the fiancé of the Divine Fragrance Genius Girl. Doesn't he look like much?"
Although Chu Yang's arrival in Taijing City was very lively, not everyone paid attention to it, especially the people in the Wen Palace Hall. They definitely didn't think that there was anything more important than the Imperial Examination.
Therefore, even though many of them heard that Chu Yang was going to enter the city, they didn't pay attention to it.
Now that Chu Yang had appeared in front of them, they naturally began to talk about it.
"He's only in the Nirvana Realm. This kind of strength is too weak in the Imperial Examination. He's not far from the bottom."
"Don't judge so easily. Since this country bumpkin was able to come here, he might have already broken through many obstacles. I'm afraid that he's quite capable."
"If that's the case, the city should be very lively. Soon, the news will spread here."
"That's right. Let's wait and see. Also, isn't there someone blocking him? Let's see how he's going to sign up for the Imperial Examination! "
