"Ding! You have successfully used" 300 Poems of the Tang Dynasty ". The contents of the book have been stored in the host's brain!"
Following the beeps from the system, Xu Que's brain was flooded with knowledge. In the blink of an eye, he had digested all of it!
Battle of poems? Who's afraid of who?
Xu Que's lips curled into a smile as he raised his teacup and took a sip. He then replied calmly, "As the saying goes, it's impolite not to reciprocate. Since young master Mo has given me a line, I shall give you a poem in return!"
Everyone paused in shock. Give him a poem?
Young master Mo has taught you a lesson and that's your honor. But in front of him, you dare to give him a poem? Are you sick in the head?
Young master Mo's title as the Poet King isn't just for show. You're just a small, nameless scholar and you dare to show off in front of him?
Everyone was amused as they looked at Xu Que mockingly.
One of the scholars shook his head and laughed, "Young master Mo was able to read at the age of three. When he was five, he was able to recite poems. When he was ten, he was able to compose poems. The Fire Emperor gave him the title of Poet King. And yet you dare to spout nonsense here? You want to give young master Mo a poem? You're overestimating yourself! "
"Is that so? So what? "
Xu Que laughed out coldly, "When I was three years old, I used my poems to compete with the heroes of Heshuo. When I was five, I used my poems to traverse the entire Eastern Wilderness. When I was ten, I was no longer restricted to physical objects. I could even compose poems from plants and rocks. People call me the Immortal Poet. My nickname is Dugu Qiubai! "
"..."
The entire crowd fell silent.
Everyone looked at Xu Que in disdain and were speechless.
They've seen people who could boast but they've never seen someone who could boast to the heavens like this!
Immortal Poet? Dugu Qiubai? Why don't you just call yourself Invincible Eastern Wilderness?
Tang Liu Feng's face was filled with bitterness as he clutched his forehead. He felt as though he was sitting on pins and needles. He felt that Xu Que had gone overboard with his boasting.
If I really used my poems to traverse the entire Eastern Wilderness at the age of five, how come I've never heard of you before?
…
When Mo Yunshang heard Xu Que's words, he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. He looked at Xu Que and said, "Since Brother Li wants to gift me a poem, then fine, I'm all ears!"
As soon as he said this, he was greeted by a chorus of praise from the crowd.
"As expected of Young Master Mo, your bearing is extraordinary, truly a refined scholar!"
"This is the true demeanor of a great family, tolerating all kinds of arrogance!"
…
However, only Lady Ya's eyes were sparkling. She had already found a corner and sat down. Her eyes were fixed on Xu Que.
In fact, she could no longer stand. Her entire body was devoid of energy.
As the younger sister of the Fire Emperor, Lady Ya had a secret that no one knew about. She admired talented scholars. Every time she saw them recite their poems, she would lose control of her emotions. Her body would have a special reaction and she would feel weak all over, her face would turn red and her heart would melt!
Today, a nobody, Li Bai, had appeared. Yet, he possessed extraordinary quick-wittedness and personality. Against Bright Saints College's Young Master Mo, Lady Ya found it hard to control her emotions. Even before the battle had begun, she was already losing her balance!
Vaguely, Xu Que noticed Lady Ya's fiery gaze and was startled. Fuck me, why is this woman's gaze so scary? I feel like she wants to eat me up! She's too flirtatious!
However, in front of everyone, Xu Que didn't dare to think too much about it. He hurriedly gathered his soul energy and stabilized the ball of fire on his lower body.
Then, he glanced at Mo Yun Shang, "Young Master Mo, you just said that arrogance leads to loss and modesty leads to gain. Are you calling me arrogant? Although what you said is true, it doesn't apply to everyone!
For example, I used to be very humble. Someone said that my poems were good and I said that they weren't. In the end, that person slapped me across the face and said that I was a hypocrite! Therefore, from then on, I turned over a new leaf and changed my ways, changing this shortcoming. "
"..."
When the crowd heard this, their lips twitched and they were once again speechless.
To be able to say something like this, it was obvious that he had reached the pinnacle of shamelessness. Towards someone like this, everyone had nothing to say.
"Trying to impress the crowd!" At this point, young master Zhao, who had been silent ever since he entered the sect, suddenly hissed.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Xu Que. Their faces were full of schadenfreude.
Li Bai, Li Bai, you're finished. Even the leader of the four great students has been offended by you. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant now!
Tang Liu Feng was so scared that his face turned white as well. He then rushed to Xu Que's side and warned him, "Brother … Brother Li, young master Zhao has already spoken. You better restrain yourself!"
"Why?" Xu Que didn't seem to mind at all.
"He … He's the leader of the four great students. In a few days, the Flaming Sun Princess will be looking for a Prince Consort. Young master Zhao will definitely be the one and only candidate. We cannot afford to offend him!"
"Prince Consort?" Hearing this term, Xu Que was enraged. He then laughed coldly, "I'm afraid it won't be his turn yet!"
"This …" Tang Liu Feng was at a loss for words. Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xu Que, he didn't say anything else.
At this point, Mo Yun Shang's face was filled with impatience as well. It was as if he had overestimated Li Bai and was getting bored. He then spoke out, "Li Bai, where's your poem?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Young master Mo, listen carefully. This poem will be very educational for you! "
Xu Que placed his teacup down as he picked up his fan and started waving it.
The crowd couldn't be bothered with his arrogant words as they stared at him, waiting for him to make a fool out of himself.
Lady Ya held her breath as her eyes were filled with anticipation.
After Xu Que had finished his pose, he finally opened his mouth and started reciting, "Three feet above the ground is a ditch, water flows all year round."
The crowd was stumped. This was a poem about scenery? How was it educational?
Right at this point, a "pa" sound could be heard as Xu Que held onto his fan tightly and recited the last two lines, "No cows or sheep come to graze, only Yun Shang washes his hair!"
Three feet above the ground is a ditch, water flows all year round.
No cows or sheep come to graze, only Yun Shang washes his hair!
"Eh?"
When the crowd heard this, they frowned as their faces were filled with confusion and astonishment.
Wasn't this just an ordinary poem about scenery?
Eh, that's not right. Yun Shang washes his hair? Isn't Yun Shang young master Mo's name?
This poem doesn't seem to be that simple!
"Three feet above the ground is a ditch, water flows all year round? Three feet above the ground, how can there be a ditch? That's weird … "Tang Liu Feng recited the poem that Xu Que recited as he took a sip of his tea and furrowed his brows in deep thought.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Xu Que was unperturbed as he continued eating the snacks on the table.
In actual fact, this poem wasn't a Tang poem. In fact, it was a very popular limerick from his previous world. In other words, it was … an obscene poem!
"Three feet above the ground is a ditch" referred to an indescribable part of a woman's body. As for "Yun Shang washes his hair", it referred to Mo Yun Shang as a small penis!
Xu Que didn't think that there was anything wrong with this. You scolded me for being arrogant and I scolded you for being a small penis.
