#37 - Chapter 37: Writing poetry, are you serious? - Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

"Everyone, eat and drink well, don't be shy."

"Just treat this place like your own home, don't be too restrained, relax a little."

Ye Kong said with a smile, raising his wine glass.

Seeing that everyone was too nervous, he tried to liven up the atmosphere.

Everyone: ……

Lin Yaoyao lowered her head, looking at the wine in her glass, pretending not to know her master.

She wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Lin Yaoyao vowed that she really wanted to knock her master unconscious and drag him back.

You're not embarrassed, but your disciple is!

We're here to attend the Myriad Flowers Meet, not a banquet.

You're really not holding back!

Master, can you be serious?

Little White was speechless, squatting on the ground drawing circles, wanting to burrow in.

Even as a great demon king who had seen all kinds of big scenes, he was embarrassed by his master's antics.

He regretted coming.

Liu Ruqing's smile froze for a moment before returning to normal.

Junior brother is really bold!

He really treats this place like his own home? This is my Myriad Flowers Peak.

But never mind.

None of that matters, the important thing is that Qin Shou has started making trouble, the show is about to begin.

Liu Ruqing took a sip of her wine, quietly watching the show.

Qin Shou was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to respond to Ye Kong's words.

He was a little confused for a moment.

This isn't your逍遥Peak!

You really treat yourself as the host?

After a moment of愣, Qin Shou said, "Uncle Ye Kong is joking. Since it's the Myriad Flowers Meet, let's talk about romance. Why not talk about something interesting?"

Ye Kong heard this, thought about it, and nodded:

"But I've never been to a romantic place. Junior Nephew Qin Shou, you go there often, so tell me how to play."

"This romance…ah, no, I haven't been to a romantic place either. Chen Changqing goes there often." Qin Shou said halfway, then suddenly realized and pointed the finger at Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing, who was secretly paying attention to Lin Yaoyao, suddenly got called out by Qin Shou and immediately became anxious.

Qin Shou directly summoned his magic weapon and glared at Chen Changqing.

"If you have the guts, come and fight!" Qin Shou said coldly.

"Afraid of you?" Chen Changqing flipped his hand and took out his long sword, coldly saying, "Just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, defeating you only requires one sword!"

The two were at each other's throats, their arrogance soaring.

"Fight, fight!" Little White watched the excitement below, not caring about the consequences.

Liu Ruqing was dumbfounded.

Weren't you two supposed to be working together to target逍遥Peak?

Why are you fighting?

"Ahem, at the Myriad Flowers Meet, fighting is not allowed, otherwise you will be expelled from Myriad Flowers Peak and never allowed to set foot here again!" Liu Ruqing said coldly.

Chen Changqing then retracted his long sword and sat down. Qin Shou put away his magic weapon and returned to his seat.

"Fighting and killing is not good, it's better to drink some wine and appreciate the flowers," Ye Kong said with a smile.

Qin Shou looked at Ye Kong, took a deep breath, and regained his composure.

Chen Changqing was also preparing.

"Uncle Ye Kong, today is the Myriad Flowers Meet, with a hundred flowers blooming. Why not compose a poem?" Qin Shou said.

"Compose a poem?" Ye Kong frowned.

"Yes, since ancient times, beauties have loved talented men. Poetry can reflect a person's literary achievements. It would be a pity not to compose poems and lyrics in this scene," Qin Shou said slowly.

Ye Kong looked at Qin Shou and really wanted to ask if he was serious.

Are you sure you want to compete with me in poetry?

Although I can't remember three hundred Tang poems, I can still remember thirty.

"Okay, I can," Ye Kong nodded in agreement.

"Wait, since it's a poetry contest, there must be a prize," Qin Shou continued.

"What prize?" Ye Kong asked.

"If Uncle Ye Kong loses, shout three times, 'I'm not as good as Qin Shou,' so that the entire Star River Sect can hear it," Qin Shou said slowly.

Ye Kong nodded and said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. If you lose, shout your own name thirty times."

"Okay!" Qin Shou agreed immediately.

It finally began.

Liu Ruqing immediately became interested.

"I'll go first. Today, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, so let's take the hundred flowers as the theme."

As Qin Shou spoke, he picked up a poem that he had someone write in advance and slowly recited it:

"A hundred flowers bloom, attracting the peaks, competing for beauty, faces red."

"Snowy paths secretly open light green flowers, icy roots spit out small red buds."

Liu Ruqing heard this and commented, "Not bad."

"It's just that it's not very 평仄 and a little out of sync with the scenery."

Qin Shou bowed and turned to look at Ye Kong.

"Uncle Ye Kong, it's your turn."

Lin Yaoyao and the others also looked up at their master, wondering if their master could write poetry.

Su Qingwan secretly handed a note to Ye Kong, which Liu Ruqing saw.

Ye Kong felt someone handing him something, but he didn't have time to open it. He raised his wine glass and recalled suitable words in his mind.

Got it.

Ye Kong put one hand behind his back and slowly said:

"When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, after my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed."

"The fragrance pierces the Star River, the entire peak is covered in golden armor."

As soon as this poem came out, the whole place was silent.

Anyone who understands poetry can hear the artistic conception reflected in this poem.

Compared to Ye Kong's, what Qin Shou did was not on the same level at all.

"The poetry is in sync with the scenery. Today happens to be the ninth day of the ninth month, and the poetry is very much in line with everyone's current mood," Liu Ruqing commented.

The poems written by my disciple are naturally impeccable.

I just can't figure out why my disciple has never met the peak master of逍遥Peak, why would she help him write poetry?

Never mind, probably because she pities the peak master of逍遥Peak.

However, the show is not over yet.

Liu Ruqing shook her head and continued to watch the show.

Lin Yaoyao was shocked by her master's artistic talent.

She thought her master was a waste, but she didn't expect him to be so good at literature!

It seems that besides cultivation, her master is pretty good at everything else.

Lin Yaoyao looked up at her master and suddenly saw a note in her master's hand, and she was dumbfounded.

"……" Lin Yaoyao.

I overestimated my master after all!

It turns out that master can't write poetry at all, he's taking other people's.
