(Erm … The song they sang yesterday was very tragic. It was such a touching and emotional song, but they sang it as if their loved ones had died. So, the students who recorded it must not leak it. Otherwise, the man will have no privacy, and the woman … her husband will have no privacy!)
Lin Xiao faced Long Yin and said, "Your Majesty, the competition should have ended long ago, but I, Lin Xiao, would like to take up your time and make a request."
"How's your injury?" Long Yin didn't answer. He first asked with concern.
Lin Xiao said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My flesh wounds are fine now, and I will be fully recovered in a few days."
"Then, I can rest assured. If you have any requests, please tell me."
"Yes!" Lin Xiao replied respectfully, then said, "I, Lin Xiao, have always been well-versed in both literature and martial arts. I have always regarded myself as Sky Dragon City's number one talent and outstanding talent. I thought that I was invincible among my peers, so I was arrogant and complacent, but I also felt lonely. Today, after competing with Ye Gongzi, I realized that there is always someone better than me. I was just a frog in a well in the past. I was ashamed of myself, but I was also secretly delighted. Not only is Ye Gongzi very capable, but he is also very intelligent. His words are also very sharp. I believe that not only is his martial arts far better than mine, but his literary talent is also extraordinary. I, Lin Xiao, have lost completely in the martial arts competition, so I would like to compete with Ye Gongzi in literature. I hope that Your Majesty and Ye Gongzi will grant my wish. "
After saying that, he looked at Ye Wuchen with bright eyes, and there was no lack of provocation in his eyes.
Immediately, there were chaotic whispers in the hall. Everyone in Sky Dragon City didn't know Lin Xiao's title as Sky Dragon City's number one talent. Although his martial arts skills were at the peak among his peers, there were many seniors in Sky Dragon City. If all of them were counted, he could only be considered outstanding. However, his reputation for talent far surpassed his martial arts skills. Who knew how many Grandmaster level seniors had admitted defeat in front of him, sighing at their inferiority, and even sighing at the fact that they had never seen anyone in their lives who could rival him. Whether it was zither, chess, calligraphy or painting, or poetry, he was proficient in all of them. His talent was so high that it was unimaginable.
It was obvious that he wanted to use his extremely high talent to redeem himself and the entire Lin family's reputation. Would the young master of the Yeh family dare to accept the challenge? In front of the Emperor and so many people, if they were to reject Lin Xiao's deliberate challenge, the Lin family would undoubtedly win without a fight. If he accepted the challenge … would the young master of the Yeh family really have a chance of winning?
Long Yin nodded and said, "Two great geniuses sparring on the same stage is bound to be splendid beyond compare. Even I am somewhat impatient, so how could I not allow it? Everyone knows Lin Xiao's talent, and Wuchen's talent must be extraordinary as well. What does Wuchen think? "
Ye Wuchen thought for a while and said helplessly, "Since His Majesty is willing, then I will compete with Young Master Lin in literary terms."
Judging from his expression and tone, it wasn't that he knew he was no match for Lin Xiao, but … if it wasn't for the Emperor's order, he wouldn't bother to compete with Lin Xiao in literary terms.
Once he agreed, the atmosphere of the scene became lively because another wonderful show was about to begin. More people were looking forward to seeing Lin Xiao's amazing talent with their own eyes.
"Young Master Lin, how do you want to compete?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"I wonder what Ye Gongzi is good at?" Lin Xiao asked. His tone was calm, but everyone could hear the conceit in it. He was very confident in his talent. Even if he searched the entire sky, he believed it would be difficult to find someone who could compete with him, let alone someone his age.
"I don't care. Since you're the one who suggested the Literary Battle, you decide. " Ye Wuchen kept his arrogance intact. No one was willing to propose a competition to take advantage of the other. If they wanted to win, they had to make the other lose without any complaints.
"Since that's the case, how about His Majesty decide?"
Ye Wuchen nodded, indicating that it was up to him.
Lin Xiao turned around and said, "In order to be fair, Lin Xiao would like to trouble His Majesty to host the competition for us. Poetry, singing, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all acceptable! "
"Haha, this is what I want. Since that's the case, I will host the competition. Literary terms are different from martial terms, and one competition is not enough to determine the winner. I have decided to give you three competitions. The first two wins will be the winner. What do you think? "Long Yin said with a smile. He seemed to be very interested in the next competition.
"Everything will be as His Majesty says." Ye Wuchen and Lin Xiao said at the same time. At this time, the two of them had the same thought — two matches were enough, there would not be a third match.
"Good!" Long Yin nodded, then frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "We originally wanted to go to the lake in the west of the city and paint after watching the competition. We just happened to bring two complete sets of painting tools. Since that's the case, your first competition will be painting! "
Long Yin clapped his hands and the two attendants sitting behind him immediately understood. Each of them carried a large sandalwood drawing board and various kinds of painting tools in front of Ye Wuchen and Lin Xiao. They set up the drawing board, laid out the drawing paper, and handed brushes and various colors to the two people. Then, they retreated back to their original positions.
Painting in front of everyone … Everyone stretched out their necks, unable to wait any longer. They inwardly praised His Majesty's brilliance in bringing painting tools out.
"This … Chen'Er has been sickly since she was young and has never learned to paint. What should we do?" Wang Wenshu became anxious again. She didn't care about winning or losing, but she absolutely didn't want to see her precious son lose face in front of everyone.
Ye Shuiyao wanted to say something but stopped. Her gaze was still fixed on Ye Wuchen, full of anticipation. Today, she had gotten to know this younger brother that she should have been very familiar with.
"Don't worry, no matter how badly he loses today, after today, his name will shake Sky Dragon! So what if he loses? Our Yeh family doesn't need such worldly things like reciting poems and writing songs. "Ye Wei said confidently. There was no anxiety on his face, only pride.
"That's right." Ye Nu also nodded. It was clear that he completely believed that Ye Wuchen would not be a match for Lin Xiao. But, so what? To be able to make Lin Xiao take the initiative to propose a literary battle, it meant that they were forced to do this to save face. And for Ye Nu, who had been bathed in blood for many years on the battlefield, he looked down on scholars who could only stay at home and recite poems. Today's Tianchen Continent was also a continent that respected martial arts.
"We haven't even started and you're already exonerating your grandson. Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better to admit defeat?" Lin Kuang sneered.
"Your second brother is my grandson's grandson, and you are also my grandson's grandson. When I speak, it's not your place to interrupt." Ye Nu snorted coldly.
"You!" Lin Kuang was furious. Just as he was about to stand up and curse, he thought of the situation and the upcoming competition. He forcefully suppressed his anger and didn't look at Ye Nu again.
"There is no limit to the content of the painting, you can paint anything. But you only have fifteen minutes! After fifteen minutes, you must stop regardless of whether you finish or not. "Long Yin said.
