'Today's the second update! I'm going out to drink wine and bird … ah … I haven't left this neighborhood for more than half a month … '
He coughed lightly twice, and the doddering instructor of the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute, Mei Gao Jie, stood up in a trembling manner. He first saluted the Emperor, and then made a bow with his hands clasped in front of him, "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, this Golden Scholarly Scholar's Feast is held on the Double Ninth Festival. This is a good time of life. This old man represents the thousands of students of the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute to congratulate Your Majesty for many autumns and ten thousand generations. May the Heavens bless our Tian Xiang, and may our people prosper and prosper. May our civil and military affairs flourish, and we may soon conquer the various countries of the continent. Then, we may unify the world, and benefit the common people! Today's Feast is all thanks to Your Majesty's vast and mighty grace. Apart from the imperial examinations, you are not sticking to a single pattern. Instead, you are promoting talented people. This is my … "
He was long-winded and long-winded. But, he only got to the point of passing the door. He was about to enter the main topic when a voice suddenly complained in a low voice, "This is a magnificent Imperial Feast. We haven't even eaten a few mouthfuls of food, and it's already finished. This is too unjustifiable … Fatty! I understand that you have a big stomach. But, shouldn't you also understand the few of us? How can you eat like this? The dishes on the table have almost been finished by you in such a short time … "
This voice didn't sound very loud. In fact, it seemed as if he had deliberately lowered his voice. But, no one in the Great Hall spoke a word at this time. Everyone was holding their breath in silence. In fact, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone had heard this voice clearly. And, a strange expression appeared on their faces …
The one who had spoken was Jun Moxie. Jun Dashao had the intention of stirring things up. So, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. As for Tang Yuan, he was holding half a crab in his hand. He looked at Jun Moxie with a stunned expression on his face. It seemed as if he had been greatly wronged. [Eldest Brother, who ate more between the two of us? I ate a lot. But, I couldn't catch up to you by half. Aren't your words too heartless?!
Mei Gao Jie was in the middle of giving his speech with deep emotion. But, he was suddenly interrupted by this noise. He couldn't help but get angry. The topic that had been interrupted had been spoken by such a shameless person. And, that person had become even more furious. His lips were trembling as he was about to rebuke this person. But, he heard a rough voice that sounded like a broken gong, "I've seen shameless people. But, I've never seen such a shameless person. He obviously ate all the good stuff himself. But, he still has the nerve to frame others for eating too much. What kind of person is this …"
It was Dugu Ying. Dugu Ying had always been indignant about not being able to snatch the bear's paw, so of course he had to stand up and express his dissatisfaction. He did not deliberately speak loudly, but this man was tall and strong, so even if he spoke at a normal volume, it was no different from a normal person shouting loudly. In addition to Jun Dashao's mischief, the entire audience naturally heard it. In terms of the level of noise, it was even higher than Jun Dashao's!
When Jun Moxie saw that someone was helping him, he became even more excited. He curled his lips and said, "How can I not eat quickly? Dammit! Other families come with only one or two people. But, your family is different. You have more than a dozen people in your family. And, all of them are plump and strong. Moreover, they are all sitting at the same table. So, I reckon that I won't even get to drink the soup if I don't eat quickly … "
Fatty Tang hastily stood up with great difficulty, and tried to smooth things over, "Third Young Master, there's nothing wrong with this. After all, he … he doesn't need to pay for this meal."
Even the aloof and remote Emperor couldn't help but let out a strange "pfff" sound as soon as these words were spoken. Those old men were laughing in an evil manner. Only Dugu Zong Heng was glaring at Fatty. It seemed as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Suddenly, the solemn hall was filled with the sounds of people covering their mouths and laughing.
Mei Gao Jie's entire body trembled in anger. He was about to speak when a strange voice ridiculed him, "The Jun Family's people are so arrogant and despotic. Their reputation is well-deserved. " Everyone was surprised. They looked towards the source of the voice, and saw that the person who had spoken was dressed in white. He was seated in the seat of honor. He was the distinguished guest of this banquet — Xiao Feng Wu from the Silver Blizzard City!
Xiao Feng Wu was naturally aware of the matter between his uncle Xiao Han and the Jun Family's Jun Family's Young Master. Moreover, the Little Princess Han Yan Meng had been proudly claiming that she had recognized a junior ever since she had returned from the Jun Family. This had made the possessive Xiao Dashao very uncomfortable. Therefore, he had taken the initiative to ridicule Xiao Feng Wu.
"This is?" Jun Moxie acted as if he didn't know him.
"My surname is Xiao. I'm from the Silver Blizzard City's Xiao Family. My name is Xiao Feng Wu!" Xiao Feng Wu's eyebrows twitched as he laughed mischievously. Then, he stuck out his chest, and unfolded a folding fan in his hand. He slowly waved it twice, and swept his gaze over the table of beauties. His movements were very natural and unrestrained.
"That's a good name!" Li Youran, who was sitting on one side, spoke up: "Brother Xiao, your name is truly extraordinary. It's like an immortal's aura!" The enemy of my enemy is my friend! The Xiao Family and the Jun Family had a grudge against each other. So, Li Youran naturally wanted to make use of this opportunity.
"Haha, speaking of my name, I do have a history." Xiao Feng Wu was very proud of himself. He had been scratched by Li Youran. So, he explained in detail: "It is said that my mother had a dream on the night of my birth. She dreamt that a phoenix had landed on a parasol tree. Therefore, she named me Feng Wu. "
"That's a heaven-sent name!" Li Youran clapped her hands in admiration.
"Ha ha …" Jun Moxie burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Feng Wu looked at him angrily. How could he be interrupted while he was feeling proud of himself?
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking that your mother is really good at dreaming. She actually dreamt that a phoenix had landed on a parasol tree. And then, you were named Feng Wu. That's a good name, a good name …"
Jun Moxie tried to hold back his laughter. But, he couldn't. He continued to sway back and forth for a while. Then, he said: "I'm thinking that if your mother hadn't dreamed of a phoenix and a parasol tree that night, and had instead dreamed of a chicken that had landed on a banana tree … then, what would you be called now? You must know that dreams are unpredictable. So, you're very lucky to be called by your current name! "
His Majesty choked on a mouthful of wine. His face turned red as he coughed. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[A dream of a chicken that had landed on a banana tree?] [This …] Then, they thought of Xiao Feng Wu's surname. So, everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Everyone wanted to laugh. But, everyone had misgivings about the might of the Silver Blizzard City. So, they didn't dare to laugh out loud. In fact, several people had choked on their laughter.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Feng Wu was somewhat puzzled. So, he subconsciously asked. Then, he suddenly realized something, and his face turned cold: "Jun Moxie, you dare to scold me?"
"I scolded you? What did I scold you for? " Jun Moxie had an innocent look on his face: "Even if you're a member of the Silver Blizzard City's Xiao Family, you can't be unreasonable, right? To catch an adulterous couple, to catch a thief, you must catch the stolen goods. So, you must have evidence to back up your words! "
"You obviously scolded me …" Xiao Feng Wu's words were on the tip of his tongue. But, he finally realized that he had almost been fooled. So, he couldn't help but roar in anger: "Jun Moxie, I'll kill you!"
"The Silver Blizzard City is truly formidable. It's worthy of being called the most powerful force in the world!" Jun Moxie shook his head and exclaimed in admiration: "You've been treated like a national guest in someone else's country. You've even been invited to the Imperial Palace. You've even dared to openly clamor about killing the only grandson of an important military official in front of the eyes of the entire country's civil and military officials. And, you've even faced the great Emperor himself. You've even dared to openly clamor about killing the only grandson of an important military official … such courage is truly admirable."
The faces of the ministers turned unsightly as they heard this.
[Yes, he wants to kill the only grandson of an important military official in front of the Emperor. How arrogant would he be if he were to leave the Imperial Palace?]
Xiao Han hastily stood up and forced his nephew to sit down. He then cupped his hands in obeisance and apologized: "Feng Wu is still young, and doesn't understand the affairs of the world. Xiao Han obviously didn't care about the Imperial Family. But, he didn't want to rashly make an enemy out of the Imperial Family of any country. After all, the Supreme Treaty of Alliance had a very strong binding force. Besides, they had invited him and the others with good intentions. If they were to provoke the Tian Xiang Empire into becoming enemies with them, then it would be because they were too insensible. And, this matter wouldn't be pleasant to hear.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled magnanimously, indicating that it didn't matter.
Jun Moxie had no choice but to sit down. Dugu Xiaoyi came over and opened her big round eyes. She then asked curiously, "A chicken fell on a banana tree. What's its name?"
Jun Moxie almost fell under the table. He rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly: "Well, you can ask your brother about it. He certainly knows. I've said so much just now. My mouth is too dry. Let me drink some water first … "
Dugu Xiaoyi snorted and rolled her eyes at him. Then, she turned her head to ask Dugu Ying. Dugu Ying's black face turned purple in a split second. [How can I explain this to my little sister as an elder brother?] She couldn't help but stare fiercely at Jun Mo Xie as she stammered her refusal. However, Dugu Xiao Yi wasn't satisfied with this. She pouted her small mouth and acted like a spoiled child while threatening them. This caused the seven Dugu brothers to be battered and exhausted.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the hall, another instructor of the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute — Kong Ling Yang — stood up and said, "Last year's Golden Scholarly Talent Banquet, the geniuses and talented women of the various aristocratic families fought against our WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute. Our WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute was lucky enough to come out on top. But, no one was able to defeat Grand Preceptor Li's eldest grandson, Young Master Li. Today, a few disciples wish to seek advice from Young Master Li. What do you think? "
Everyone's spirits were roused. [The main event is finally here!]
The eyes of the scholars of the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute also shone. The scholars of the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute hadn't been able to eat since they had entered the hall. But, they had been waiting for this moment. If they could stump the number one scholar of Tian Xiang, then they would at least prove that they were superior in terms of knowledge. And, this would undoubtedly be very beneficial for their future!
Li Youran smiled faintly. Then, she stood up gracefully, and looked at everyone with a gentle look in her eyes. She then said, "You Youran's talent is shallow. So, how can I stand up to the scholars? However, if you wish to seek advice from me, then there's another person in front of me. His knowledge and wisdom are both admirable. So, you might as well seek advice from him. "
"May I dare to ask, Young Master? Who is this genius?" Everyone asked in unison. They were puzzled in their hearts. [Could it be that there's a peerless genius in Tian Xiang City who can convince Li Youran? Why haven't we heard of him before? This is very strange.]
"It's none other than Jun Moxie, Young Master Jun!" Li Youran smiled faintly, and replied in a sincere tone. Then, she pointed her finger at Jun Dashao. Her target was very clear. Jun Moxie was holding a chicken leg in his hand. His mouth was covered in grease. So, he couldn't help but fiercely glare at Li Youran.
[Crap! You're setting me up in public!]
