< Today's first chapter! Sorry, it's late. >
Meng Hai Zhou and the others thought that Li Youran was taking advantage of this opportunity to make things difficult for Jun Moxie, so they started to jeer. But, they didn't know that Li Youran was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"Young Master You Ran must be joking." Kong Ling Yang's complexion darkened. He was somewhat displeased. "Young Master Jun … may have other … achievements in other areas. But, you're not famous in the way of poetry. This is …"
Someone snickered. Although Master Kong's words were very vague, everyone could hear that Jun Moxie's achievements in other areas were nothing more than brothels, running dogs, fighting cocks, bullying men and women, and other despicable things. As for other areas, what achievements could this kid have? Everyone praised in their hearts. [Old Master Kong is indeed Old Master Kong. He's so refined even when mocking people.]
"Master Kong, you don't need to worry. Haha, if your disciple can't even win a debate with Jun Moxie, why would he want to compete with Young Master You Ran?" Meng Hai Zhou replied with a faint smile. His words had greatly provoked Master Kong.
Kong Ling Yang was speechless. [If my disciple, whom I've nurtured with painstaking effort, can't compare with that debauchee, then I'll have to find a way to commit suicide.] He didn't say anything else. He waved his hand, and designated a disciple to fight. Then, he sullenly sat down.
"This student is Han Zhi Dong. I would like to ask for advice from Young Master Jun." A young man stood up with a smile. He clasped his hands in front of him from afar. Then, he raised his head, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Well, there's no need to ask for advice. I'll teach you a few moves when I have the time. I guarantee that you'll be able to move unhindered in the Spirit Fog Lake. How can I demonstrate the mysteries of these moves in public? Even if you don't mind, I do. "
Jun Moxie naturally saw the disdain in his eyes. He chuckled, winked, and laughed. Then, he put a shameless hat on his disciple's head.
"I've always been clean and pure. I've never gone to a place like the Spirit Fog Lake." Han Zhidong's voice was a little cold, and he felt a burst of contempt in his heart. "He is indeed a big scum. I asked him for some knowledge, and he actually talked about brothels. Do you also know that this is a public place?" What a disgrace!
"You haven't been to the Spirit Fog Lake? Where are you going? " Jun Moxie felt disgusted in his heart. Are you guys not done yet? Swinging his legs, he leisurely said, "Oh, that's right, this young master was negligent. Judging from Gifted Scholar Han's shabby attire, I presume he can't afford to go to that kind of place. It seems that if there's a need, he can only wield a long spear in his hand and devise a strategy in his heart. In his small room, he can move about freely and majestically, exterminating millions upon millions of soldiers and horses with one spear.
What kind of words were those? Han Zhidong's fair and handsome face suddenly turned red as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His neck also became thicker in a split second …
Jun Dashao's choice of words was very elegant. Moreover, it was also very imposing. Many people in the crowd stared blankly for a moment. They carefully thought about it for a while, and finally understood what he meant. They couldn't help but giggle. [This brat is really too … bad!]
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with the kind of vulgar laughter that belonged to men. It could only be understood, but it couldn't be expressed in words …
Only Princess Reimu, Dugu Xiaoyi, Han Yan Meng, and the other talented young ladies stared with astonished eyes. They looked from one to the other in confusion. They faintly felt that this wasn't a good thing. However, they couldn't figure out what was so bad about it. Listening to Jun Moxie's words, it seemed as if he was describing an awe-inspiring general. But, why was it so strange?
Several old men winked at each other. Only a few of them were laughing out loud without the slightest scruple. They were slapping the table, slapping their thighs, and laughing so hard that their eyebrows couldn't even be seen. Dugu Zong Heng slapped Tang Wan Li's shoulder. Tang Wan Li's body was trembling with laughter. Dugu Zong Heng chuckled and said, "Old Tang, I suddenly remembered the time when we had just entered the army. It was the eve of the fierce battle on Mount Celestial Wolf. Old Jun was a squad leader. That night, Old Tang, you were so awe-inspiring. We all saw it.
Tang Wan Li's face turned red as he jumped up. He no longer cared about his fear of Dugu Zong Heng. He fiercely opened his arms and placed them on Dugu Zong Heng's thick neck. Then, he growled in a low voice, "You old bastard! If you dare to say another word … "
Dugu Zong Heng coughed repeatedly. He was laughing and begging for mercy at the same time. Several old men put their thumbs up to Tang Wan Li's nose. [So, everyone heard it …]
Old Master Tang's face turned red. He angrily stood up and was about to leave. But, he was held down by several old men. They smiled and persuaded him to stay.
Dugu Xiaoyi saw that her seven brothers were tightly grinning. Their dark faces looked like they were overjoyed. Their shoulders were trembling. It seemed that they were very funny. So, she couldn't help but ask, "What did he say? Is it really that funny? "
The seven brothers looked at each other in dismay. They stared blankly for a moment. Then, they shook their heads in unison, "It's not funny. How is it funny? It's not funny at all! "
Dugu Xiaoyi snorted. She angrily turned her head. She suddenly felt that these men — including her brothers and Jun Moxie — were very loathsome. [I can't even get an answer today. I'm so angry!]
She secretly thought over what Jun Moxie had said and firmly remembered it in her heart. She thought to herself, 'Don't say it if you don't want to say it. When I go home and ask my mother … I don't believe that she really doesn't know …'
Han Zhi Dong took a deep breath. He knew that he wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand if he continued to bicker with this debauchee. He said, "His Majesty is gracious enough to bestow this Golden Scholarly Talent Banquet today. This humble student is ashamed that I was allowed to follow my esteemed teacher here. When I arrived, I saw the Golden Chrysanthemum and Cinnamon Osmanthus in full bloom in the Imperial Garden. I came across a couplet by chance. May Young Master Jun enlighten me!"
She didn't wait for Jun Moxie's response before reciting, "The Imperial Garden, the fragrance of chrysanthemum, the fragrance of orchid, the fragrance of osmanthus, the fragrance of flowers, the fragrance of flowers, the fragrance of heavenly fragrance, the fragrance of a thousand miles, the fragrance of a thousand miles."
As soon as this couplet came out, everyone fell into deep thought.
This couplet seemed simple, but it wasn't simple at all. This was especially true for the last sentence. The two words "Tian Xiang" were embedded in it. It was a metaphorical blessing for the Tian Xiang Empire. However, this couplet didn't leave a single trace. It could be said that this was an expert. Everyone was racking their brains, trying to come up with this couplet in front of everyone. They wanted to show off their talents in front of His Majesty.
As for Jun Moxie, no one had high hopes for him … Wouldn't it be a joke to ask him to come up with such a difficult and profound couplet? Even in his next life, he wouldn't be able to come up with a couplet!
"Young Master Jun, this humble student's talent is shallow. I can barely come up with such a shallow couplet. I wonder if it would be able to enter Young Master Jun's eyes?" Han Zhi Dong chuckled as he looked at Jun Moxie humbly. His expression was very sincere, "I hope that Young Master Jun will not be stingy in giving me some pointers!"
If he hadn't said these words, and had waited until Jun Moxie couldn't come up with the couplet and made a fool of himself, everyone would've looked up to him while looking down on Jun Moxie. He believed that this couplet would've left a special impression in the hearts of all the big shots. After all, coming up with such a difficult couplet on the spot was also an extraordinary talent. However, these words of his made all the big shots sigh in their hearts.
This "gifted scholar" was so unforgiving and arrogant. His temperament had long since deteriorated. [Moreover, you've been nurtured by the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute for many years. Do you think that you should be proud of making things difficult for a debauchee in a couplet?]
[This so-called gifted scholar's lifetime achievements won't be high!]
Even if he had the opportunity to climb up, the big shots wouldn't allow someone with such a temperament to rise to power! Who could guarantee that this guy wouldn't deal with them after he gained power?] Therefore, Han Zhi Dong didn't know that he had declared the end of his political career because he had spoken a few words. He was still feeling complacent at this moment …
Jun Moxie wrinkled his brows. [I can plagiarize a poem if it was an impromptu one. But, I can't plagiarize this kind of impromptu couplet even if I want to.] [How come the first match is a bullsh * t couplet? Can't we compete with something else? This is really f * cking awesome …]
Kong Ling Yang narrowed his eyes. He seemed very proud of himself, "Young Master Jun, there's no harm in saying it if you can't come up with a couplet. Hehe, this isn't a shameful matter for Young Master …"
Everyone chuckled. [This old man is unforgiving. Moreover, he's adhering to his usual habit of cursing people without using any profanity. It seems that he's going to continue cursing.]
Jun Moxie's anger surged. He suddenly steeled his heart and said in a loud voice, "What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a bullsh * t couplet? See how this elder brother will match it for you. I'll trample the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute by myself! "
Boos rang out from all directions. [This guy really dares to speak. He's only a little bit capable, but he dares to spout such crazy words. Isn't he afraid that the wind will cut his tongue?] [It seems that this kid is going to be ruthlessly abused by the WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute today …]
Only Li Youran and Jun Zhan Tian's pupils shrank. Li Youran believed in his ability. Moreover, Li Youran had also tried to come up with the couplet. But, she felt that it wasn't a good match. However, Jun Moxie was speaking such wild words at this moment. She couldn't help but think in her heart: [Is he really stronger than me?]
Grandpa Jun became somewhat anxious. [This little bastard! Didn't I tell you to hide your abilities? Why are you showing off your abilities now?]
Kong Ling Yang sneered and said, "Young Master Jun is truly confident. How about this? If Young Master Jun can come up with the answer within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then my WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute will willingly concede defeat. But, if you can't come up with the answer, then I ask Young Master Jun to mediate with Young Master Tang, and return my poor disciple to me. How about it?"
The disciple he was talking about was naturally the "underwear washing scholar" Zhao Chengsong, who had been abused by Tang Yuan. However, when Tang Yuan had been expelled from the family, Zhao Chengsong had already been beaten to death with a stick for fear of leaving behind a scourge. How could he be found? Even if he were to summon his soul from the netherworld, his bones would've long since rotted by now …
"No problem!" Jun Moxie raised his head and took charge of the matter. [If I can't come up with the answer, then I'll return your disciple's corpse to you. You only want a disciple. You didn't say whether he's dead or alive. I don't mind …]
"However, if I come up with the answer, then you must also come up with the answer! If you can't come up with the answer, then your WenXing Heavenly Literature Institute will never speak of this couplet again in front of this Young Master. How about it? "Jun Moxie gave a strange smile.
