The next day, the name "Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction" caused a huge uproar in the Imperial City!
First, the leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College, young master Zhao, walked around the Imperial City with a piece of paper. On the paper was written, "Zhao Hao is not as good as Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction"!
Furthermore, because of Xu Que's joke, young master Zhao, Zhao Hao, was given the domineering nickname of "Zhao Ritian".
Following that, the students who came out from Lady Ya's banquet began to recount what happened the night before.
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred. In just one night, the entire Imperial City was filled with the name "Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction"!
Of course, the most widely circulated were the poems recited by Xu Que!
"'A good rain knows its season, it comes in spring. Sneaking along with the wind into the night, moistening everything silently. 'This is really a good poem. That Li Bai must be a true great scholar! "
"And that line, 'The wind and rain come in the night, I know how many flowers fall' is simply breathtaking!"
"Who would've thought that in just one night, so many famous poems would be circulated. And all of them were completed in just ten steps. Such talent is truly admirable!"
"It's not just admirable. As scholars, I feel ashamed standing in front of him!"
"Actually, what touched me the most was the line, 'This rain is born from the sky, it dies on the earth. The process in between is life'. I've learned a lot from it! "
Many scholars, cultivators, and even some commoners were discussing Xu Que's poems!
Many women would sit in their boudoirs and recite Xu Que's poems repeatedly.
"In a small building, I listen to the spring rain, deep in the alley, I sell apricot flowers in the morning! What a genius, Li Bai! "
"In the Southern Dynasties, there are 480 temples, how many towers in the misty rain. What kind of genius is he to be able to compose such shocking poems? I really want to get to know him! "
"Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at them for not being able to see through it! Only a truly talented person would be able to compose such an enchanting poem! "
...
Unknowingly, Xu Que had a bunch of female fans in the Imperial City!
Moreover, what truly shocked countless people was his last line, "Smoke Locks the Willows over the Pond". It shocked everyone and attracted all the people and students in the city, ranging from old people over a hundred years old to children of four or five years old, to thinking hard about the second line!
However, in the end, no one could think of a perfect second line of couplets.
What made people not know whether to laugh or cry was that there were many copies of "Li Bai smoking" in the Imperial City. Countless students fought to buy them and display them in their homes to show off to their friends.
Some people even learned two songs by Xu Que at the banquet and went around singing "How lonely it is to be invincible"!
Everyone was also trying to find out what the Great Scholar Li Bai was holding in his mouth. It was said to be a "cigarette", but how was one supposed to smoke a cigarette? What was the cigarette made of?
To be able to make the Great Scholar Li Bai so excited, this cigarette must be something amazing.
Of course, other than the cigarette, there was also the phrase "Beer and cigarette, magic is boundless" that Xu Que had casually said during the banquet. This caused many cultivators to go crazy over it.
In a short period of time, those who liked to chase after talented and beautiful people, as well as those who liked new and interesting things, were all searching the streets and alleys for rare items called "cigarettes" and "beer".
However, no one in the entire capital could explain what the cigarette and beer that the Great Scholar Li Bai was talking about was.
That afternoon, Lady Ya brought a pack of cigarettes with her to visit a few rich ladies. When she took a puff, everyone fainted.
In less than two hours, the pack of cigarettes that Xu Que had given to Lady Ya was completely emptied!
Hence, that night, many of the generals were unable to sleep. They were lonely and their souls were out of their bodies. This was all because of their addiction to smoking!
As a result, on this night, many generals couldn't sleep. They were lonely, and their souls were in a trance. It was all because of their smoking addiction!
…
Xu Que was still sleeping soundly in the inn. Tang Liu Feng went out for a drink and was forced to stay out the entire night.
No one came to disturb him, so Xu Que slept peacefully. He slept for a day and two nights. He had no idea that the banquet he had attended had caused an uproar in the Imperial City!
In his mind, the System detected that he was sleeping, so there was no notification sound. However, his Acting Tough Points were increasing rapidly and unceasingly!
On the morning of the third day after the banquet, Xu Que stretched himself and woke up. He was totally dumbfounded when he saw more than 8,000 Acting Tough Points in the System interface.
When he walked out of his room and went downstairs to eat, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of people. Amidst all kinds of worshipful voices, he finally understood the reason behind it.
There was even a scholar who took out a picture of "Li Bai smoking" and asked him to compose a poem for him.
Xu Que didn't hesitate and wrote, "Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking the stars, there's no one like me in this world!"
Signed: Heavenly Explosion Faction's Li Bai!
…
Soon after, under the astonished gazes of the crowd and the system notification of his Acting Tough Points, Xu Que returned to his room and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha! My Acting Tough Points have increased so much that I'll wake up laughing even in my dreams. The next time I go to a different place, I'll have to continue acting tough like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he instructed the waiter to get him a bucket of hot water before he took a comfortable bath.
He then changed into a black robe and carried the Dark Buster Sword on his back as he left the room.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue acting like a scholar. He was afraid that if he were to leave the room, he would be surrounded by people. Hence, he changed back into his black robes and disguised himself as a rogue cultivator before rushing to the Imperial Palace!
Xu Que had heard that the Flaming Sun Princess was looking for a Prince Consort tomorrow and the location was within the Imperial Palace.
Hence, he wanted to head there earlier to look for Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess. He wanted to ask them for a map of the Imperial Tombs and at the same time, find out more about the Prince Consort selection tomorrow.
This was because he wanted to act tough the next day!
He wanted the Fire Emperor to make a fool of himself in front of the entire Imperial City's citizens!
However, he had to plan this carefully. After all, the Fire Emperor was already at level six of the Infant Transformation Stage and was extremely powerful. Hence, he had to make ample preparations before he acted tough. This was to prevent himself from being f * cked instead!
As he walked along the streets of the Imperial City, he could hear people talking about the deeds of "Li Bai". Many of them were reciting his poems!
As for Xu Que, he was wearing a black robe and nobody could see his face clearly. Just like that, he walked all the way to the Imperial Palace.
Just as he was thinking of an excuse to enter …
Unexpectedly, before he could even get close to the Imperial Palace, an Original Infant Staged guard appeared and blocked Xu Que's way. He then spoke out coldly, "This is an important place within the Imperial Palace. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter!"
"Hehe, unauthorized people? I advise you to report to the Flaming Sun Princess. "Xu Que laughed out coldly.
"Go tell her that Hua Wu Que from the Heavenly Explosion Faction is here!"
