Everyone's attitude was extremely humble, not because Yi Zhishi was a literary genius, but because he would become a Half-saint in a few years' time.
Yi Zhishi looked around and walked directly to Fang Yun's chair and sat down.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Today's main characters are Fang Xusheng and Zhang Mingzhou. I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Yi Zhishi smiled as he picked up the mooncake on the table and broke it in half. He held one half for himself and gave the other half to the silly rabbit.
The rabbit did not expect such an important person to give it something good to eat. It immediately stood up and received the mooncake with its two paws. It then bowed respectfully, just like a human.
Yi Zhishi smiled and ate the other half of the mooncake.
Everyone looked at Yi Zhishi curiously. In their eyes, such an important person should not eat the food of mortals. But now, he was eating a mooncake in front of everyone. It was a novel experience.
Yi Zhishi's actions were very elegant, as if he was defining the word 'gentleman'.
Some of the Baling City women's eyes lit up. Yi Zhishi was a typical handsome man. He had a tall and straight figure and an elegant temperament. He was neither too rough nor too thin. His eyes reflected the starry sky, mysterious and deep, as if they could steal a person's soul away.
Many women blushed just looking at Yi Zhishi's side profile. Their eyes were firmly glued to Yi Zhishi's face. Whether it was his thin black eyebrows, tall nose, or even the curve of his lips, they were all mesmerized.
Only Wu Jun curled his lips and said softly, "I used to hate this style of his. Tsk tsk, he can eat a mooncake so casually. He is not manly at all! Shouldn't he pat his clothes to get rid of the crumbs when eating a mooncake? He is eating a mooncake without crumbs. How can that be called eating a mooncake? "
The people around Wu Jun rolled their eyes. Although Wu Jun and Yi Zhishi had many years of friendship, the two of them did not have any personal relationship.
After eating half of the mooncake, Yi Zhishi looked around and smiled, "Why are you all looking at me? Look up. Oh right, where is Zhang Mingzhou? "
Zong Ganyu smiled and said, "Fang Yun has arrived a long time ago. Perhaps because the Lei family came to visit, it was inconvenient for him to come forward. After all, Fang Yun's methods are infuriating. However, it's precisely because Zhang Mingzhou hasn't appeared yet that I want to ask Brother Zhi Shi. Between Zhang Mingzhou and Fang Yun, who do you think has a higher chance of winning? I heard that you like Zhang Mingzhou very much? "
Yi Zhishi looked at Zong Ganyu and said, "Indeed, this Yi loves Zhang Mingzhou's poems. However, Fang Xusheng's poems also make me recite them repeatedly. I don't dare to speak for others, but their poems far surpass mine. "
Zong Ganyu smiled and said, "In terms of scriptures, the two of them are far inferior to you. As for poetry, it is nothing more than a small path. You didn't come to Baling City just for the literary competition, did you? "
"Of course. This time, I went out to relax. It is better to travel ten thousand li than to read ten thousand books. Baling City will be the first. "
Not far away, Wu Jun said loudly, "Then Qing Capital must be your second stop, right? Zhi Shi, although you have resigned from the position of Minister of Wu Guo, you still have the title and title that I have personally conferred upon you. You can't not go. "Wu Jun looked at the Qing Emperor provocatively.
"The literary competition between the two countries, this Yi naturally has to go." Yi Zhishi said.
Zong Ganyu continued, "If Brother Zhi Shi comes to Qing Capital, Old Man will definitely welcome you and tour the scenic spots with you. However, before that, this literary competition is the most important thing. Brother Zhi Shi, you don't have to hide anything. Tell me, who do you think has a higher chance of winning? "
Everyone present frowned. This was already the third time that Zong Ganyu had asked Yi Zhishi to express his opinion.
The first time, Yi Zhishi didn't appear. The second time, Yi Zhishi deliberately changed the topic. The third time, he continued to ask. His intentions were too obvious.
"Master Zong, I am only here to eat mooncakes and watch a literary competition. Why do you want me to decide who is better?" Yi Zhishi shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly. It seemed that he didn't want to participate.
"Old Man has no other intentions. He is just curious. After all, you are a literary hero of the human race, the number one person below the Half-saint. If you can make a judgment before the competition, will you be able to bring light to this literary competition? Everyone, isn't this old man right? "
Zong Ganyu said as he looked at the others. Many people nodded lightly.
Even some of Fang Yun's supporters were curious. They wanted to know Yi Zhishi's opinion.
"Then, Brother Zhi Shi, why don't you make a prediction?" Zong Ganyu said.
Fang Yun frowned slightly and then returned to normal.
Some of the officials in Jingguo more or less had strange expressions. They wanted to clarify that Fang Yun and Yi Zhishi had a small conflict.
Back then, Majesty Kang of Jingguo prepared a congratulatory gift to curry favor with Yi Zhishi. Majesty Kang's disciples went to Jiang State's Dayuan House for the Longevity Fruit. The person they looked for was Mr. Wang, who had taught Fang Yun before.
Mr. Wang had fought side by side with Fang Yun. He sacrificed ten years of his life for the Jade Blood Loyal Heart. After Fang Yun returned from the Holy Ground, he took out a portion of the Longevity Fruit as repayment and gratitude. However, Majesty Kang's disciples wanted to take away the Longevity Fruit that belonged to Mr. Wang. When Fang Yun found out, he was furious and personally broke the disciple's leg.
Not long after, Yi Zhishi's son, Yi Mingtian, went to Jingguo's capital. He was instigated by the young duke and had a misunderstanding with Fang Yun. Although Yi Mingtian had a good upbringing, he still had a grudge against Fang Yun because of the young duke.
The officials in Jingguo didn't believe that Yi Zhishi didn't know anything about this and didn't care that his son was humiliated in Gyeongo.
Moreover, countless people had compared Fang Yun to Yi Zhishi. Except for a few scholars, most people who only read the Literary Name believed that Fang Yun had surpassed Yi Zhishi. Yi Zhishi wouldn't care if it happened once or twice, but if it happened too many times and he still didn't care, then he would be a saint.
These officials were quite experienced. When they saw that Zong Ganyu kept asking Yi Zhishi to comment on the two of them, they guessed that Zong Ganyu knew about the conflict between Yi Zhishi and Fang Yun and was using Yi Zhishi's identity to attack Fang Yun.
These officials secretly sent letters to Fang Yun and warned Fang Yun to be careful of Yi Zhishi.
Fang Yun's reply was more or less the same.
"It's fine. Everyone's position is different and they see things from different angles. The results are also different."
In the First Class, Yi Zhishi took another piece of mooncake and ate it.
"I came here to eat mooncakes!"
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Yi Zhishi didn't want to offend anyone.
Zong Ganyu said, "That's not right! If a literary hero came here just for mooncakes, wouldn't it be a joke? Today, even if Old Man doesn't care about his reputation, he will force you to make a prediction before the competition! As the person with the highest status in the Wen Meet, are you not embarrassed to only eat mooncakes? This is the last piece. If you don't comment on the two of them after eating it, Old Man will definitely not let it go! "
Seeing Zong Ganyu laughing and joking, most people found it interesting. However, there was also a group of people who felt that Zong Ganyu was revealing his true intentions. He wasn't targeting Yi Zhishi, but Fang Yun!
Yi Zhishi silently ate his mooncake.
After Yi Zhishi finished eating, Zong Ganyu said with a smile, "Old Brother Zhishi, whether this old brother's face stays on my head or is dragged away by others, it's all up to you! You can't possibly put me on the spot, right? "
