Seeing how Xu Que was able to recite the couplet without any hesitation, all the students were stunned.
Tang Liu Feng was stunned as well. He had thought that this brother Li Bai was already at the peak of poetry writing. Who would've thought that he could actually recite couplets? Furthermore, he was able to recite couplets so neatly.
Lady Ya's eyes flashed with surprise once again. Reciting poems and couplets, he was proficient in everything. She had never seen someone as talented as him!
Young master Zhao's face turned cold as he knew that he had met a formidable opponent. He then quickly recited, "Odd against odd, only against pair. The ocean against the river, the golden plate against the jade cup, the precious candle against the silver candle."
The crowd's eyes widened. Young master Zhao could actually recite the couplet?
It looked like young master Zhao was determined to see who was stronger and who was weaker against this young master Li.
Hence, everyone's gazes were locked onto Xu Que. They wanted to see if this arrogant "Li Bai" could recite the couplet again.
Xu Que, on the other hand, smiled. He didn't think that this pair of couplets was a difficult task. He shook the bottle of beer in a carefree manner and said, "Red versus White, Existence versus Non-Existence, Cuckoo versus Kettle, Mao Zhui versus Feather Fan, Imperial City versus Imperial City.
Everyone's faces fell!
Within such a short period of time, Xu Que had recited the couplet once again. His abilities weren't any weaker than young master Zhao's!
Young master Zhao was flustered as he stood up, "Door against door, Stranger against street, Branches against roots, Rooster against Waving Rooster, Phoenix Hairpin against Luan Hairpin."
Xu Que wasn't flustered at all. He then looked at Lady Ya and blew out a ring of smoke. He then smiled and replied, "Diligence against frugality, Cleverness against obedience, Waterside Pavilion against Mountain Study, Icy Peach against Snow Lotus, Leaky Arrow against Updated Tiles."
…
…
The two of them didn't stop for even a moment as they continued to recite the couplets.
The crowd was dumbfounded. Even the student who came up with the first half of the couplet was dumbfounded. He didn't expect his first half to match so many second half couplets!
It was already very difficult for an ordinary scholar to come up with a second verse. But these two actually opened their mouths and came up with second verses one after another. They didn't stop at all. It made people sigh. Why was the difference between people so great?
Lady Ya's face turned red and her heart melted. She could not help but clamp her legs together and her body trembled slightly. She looked at Xu Que and Young Master Zhao like a wolf and a tiger. Especially after smelling the smoke rings that Xu Que blew out, she couldn't help but feel restless in her heart. How could a talented scholar be so charming?
At this point in time, it was hard to tell who was fighting who. Xu Que and young master Zhao continued to fight!
Finally, young master Zhao laughed coldly, "Only matching this line is too easy. I shall come up with a couplet. Do you dare to match it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Young master Zhao was going to take the initiative? Oh my god, this is a rare sight. I have been in the Imperial City for so many years, but I have never seen young master Zhao come up with a couplet. Is he going to do it now?
Many people's eyes were filled with excitement and excitement.
"Patter!"
Xu Que flicked the cigarette butt in his hand into the rain outside the house. He then walked into the hall and smiled, "Why wouldn't I dare? When I was three years old, I used couplets to compete with the heroes of He Shuo. When I was five, I used couplets to dominate the East Continent. When I was ten, I was no longer restricted by physical objects. I could match plants, trees, bamboos, and stones. People call me Guts Piercing Couplet. My nickname is Lost Boy Hua An! "
"…" Everyone blacked out and almost fell to the ground!
Damn it, why does this sound so familiar? Do you dare to change it? What is the title of Guts Piercing Couplet? And why is it called Lost Boy Hua An?
"Ridiculous!" Young master Zhao laughed coldly.
Xu Que replied, "That's weird!"
"Eh …" Everyone's faces froze. What's going on? Are they starting to match?
Young master Zhao smiled angrily and said loudly, "In one village, there are three teachers. You don't know the Four Books, Five Classics, and Six Meanings. How dare you teach seven, eight, and nine? How dare you!"
"Good! Young master Zhao's couplet is brilliant! "Many students cheered. Young master Zhao's couplet was obviously mocking Li Bai!
However, Xu Que shook his head and said, "Nine out of ten are poor. You only have eight taels, seven qian, six fen, five and four li. You are still half-hearted and despicable!"
"Hiss!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This fellow, in such a short period of time, not only was he able to come up with such a perfect second verse, but he was also able to scold Young Master Zhao as a lowly person!
Young master Zhao was even angrier. He said coldly, "In the picture, the dragon doesn't roar and the tiger doesn't roar. The little boy is ridiculous!"
He was mocking Xu Que's self-given nickname, Lost Boy Hua An An!
Xu Que replied calmly, "In the chessboard, the chariot has no wheels and the horse has no reins. Tell the general to be on guard!"
"Orioles, swallows, green, and red, everywhere is harmonious!" Young master Zhao's pupils shrunk as the anger in his heart grew. After being in the Imperial City for so many years, he had never met such a difficult opponent.
Xu Que replied calmly, "Rain, wind, flowers, leaves, flowers, leaves, and leaves, year after year, day after day!"
"Ten thoughts, thinking of the king, thinking of the country, thinking of the country!" Young master Zhao asked another question!
Xu Que's lips curled up, "Eight eyes, admiring the flowers, admiring the moon, admiring the autumn!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Many of the scholars present had already been subdued by Xu Que and cheered!
"This is the first time I've seen such an intense battle!"
"What a feast for the eyes!"
...
Lady Ya's body trembled as her face turned red. She looked at Xu Que in surprise.
Everyone called her Lady Ya, but very few people knew that her real name was Ji Qiu Ya!
Xu Que's sentence of admiring the flowers, admiring the moon, admiring the autumn made her suspicious. She wondered if this young master Li knew her name and purposely said that?
At this point, young master Zhao's face froze as he shouted, "I'm an upper-class person, showing off the guts of a tiger."
Xu Que squinted his eyes, "You're a lowly bastard, showing off half of your tortoise."
"How dare you!" Young master Zhao couldn't hold it in any longer and rebuked!
"How dare I!" Xu Que continued to treat these words as a couplet, his face was full of smiles.
Young master Zhao was so angry that his face turned red. The veins on his forehead popped out as he pointed at Xu Que, "I'm supposed to be a couplet with you. How dare you insult me?"
"You have a pig's head and I didn't see through you!"
"I'm not talking to you now!" Young master Zhao was about to go crazy.
Xu Que said with a faint smile, "Now I am writing poems with you!"
...
Everyone was dumbfounded. The leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College, young master Zhao, was angered to such an extent?
Even Mo Yun Shang's face was filled with shock!
Only Lady Ya was slightly taken aback. She was surprised that this "Li Bai" could beat young master Zhao in couplets.
She could also tell that this "Li Bai" was purposely provoking young master Zhao. Comparing the two of them, "Li Bai" was much more mysterious, mature and steady!
Thinking up to this point, Lady Ya couldn't help but smile and exclaim, "The older the ginger, the wiser the ginger!"
This was what she thought in her heart. She didn't expect that she would say it out loud. Everyone was stunned.
In the end, Xu Que, who was addicted to couplets, turned around and shouted, "Your breasts are still bigger!"
