#623 - Chapter 623 Poetry
After thinking for a moment, he directly kicked the woman back to the other world.
"Where you came from, go back to where you came from!" Ye Kong said, putting his hands behind his back, ready to go back and find his disciples.
Just then, a voice suddenly popped up and said, "Master, what did you say?"
"Lin Yaoyao?" Ye Kong recognized Lin Yaoyao's voice.
"It's me. Master, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly." Lin Yaoyao walked forward, stepping right on the pile of flesh that Ye Kong had just dealt with.
"Oh, I didn't say anything. Why are you here?" Ye Kong didn't plan to say more and changed the subject.
"The Myriad Flowers Peak event is about to begin." Lin Yaoyao said without blushing or skipping a beat.
Actually, Lin Yaoyao had just seen many disciples having strange reactions and was a little worried about her master, so she came to call him back.
"Is it about to start?" Ye Kong yawned.
Alas, after dealing with these little trash, he didn't even have time to get a good night's sleep.
"Yes." Lin Yaoyao stepped on the soft lump of flesh, feeling somewhat speechless.
Other people's masters are cheering for their disciples, but her own master still needs them to worry about him.
"Alright, let's go then." Ye Kong rarely saw his disciples interested in something, so he followed behind with his hands behind his back.
The fact that many people on Myriad Flowers Peak were acting crazy attracted the attention of Sect Master Luo Yangtian.
Just as Luo Yangtian was about to order Zhu Neng, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, to investigate thoroughly, everyone recovered.
"Since everyone is unaffected, let's start directly!"
At the highest point of Myriad Flowers Peak, Luo Yangtian waved his hand, directly skipping the opening remarks.
"We will set the topic, and after you're done, we will select the top three, all of whom will receive rewards."
"The Poetry Competition is limited to forty people. Anyone who is willing can participate."
Liu Ruyan finished speaking the rules of the first event in one breath, and everyone looked at each other for a moment.
Why is there a poetry competition? Everyone was extremely puzzled.
Liu Ruyan herself was also a little puzzled: Isn't this Dance and Music Assembly for the Sect Master to find a Dao companion? Why did the Sect Master also tell me not to discriminate between men and women?
"Count me in." Seeing that no one responded, Qin Shou, the peak disciple of the Beast Taming Peak, was the first to stand up.
Seeing Qin Shou go up, Xiao Bai also felt a little eager and rode Erha up as well.
Seeing Xiao Bai go up, Ye Hongxue looked at Ye Kong.
Ye Kong knew that she also wanted to go, so he nodded encouragingly.
Upon seeing this, Ye Hongxue slowly stood up from her seat and slowly walked onto the high platform.
Seeing that the people who went up in this event were all from his own sect, Luo Yangtian secretly sent a message to Liu Ruyan.
"What are you doing? Why are all the people going up from our sect?"
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes and then said loudly, "The people from the Star River Sect are enough. People from other continents and other sects are very welcome to come and spar with our sect if they wish!"
After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, Ji Cunxi, a female disciple from the Southern Cloud Continent, went up.
Seeing that the Continuous Cloud Continent and the Southern Cloud Continent both had people, the other continents were unwilling to be outdone for a moment, and disciples went on stage one after another.
In the end, six disciples from the Continuous Cloud Continent, six disciples from the Southern Cloud Continent, six disciples from the Myriad Demon Continent, six disciples from the Bliss Continent, six disciples from the Demon Continent, and six disciples from the Holy Continent stood on the high platform.
The Eastern Forbidden Continent was originally farther away from the Continuous Cloud Continent, and only six disciples had come. Two of them were disguised as people from another world.
The two disguised people were killed by Ye Kong, so only four people ultimately stood on the high platform.
The elder from the Eastern Forbidden Continent who brought the six disciples didn't care at first, but when he saw that everyone else from the other continents had six people, he felt it was unfair.
But there was nothing he could do since the disciples from his continent were not present. He could only secretly send people down to look for them and also told Liu Ruyan to help him find them.
"Okay, I will help." Liu Ruyan sent people to search within Myriad Flowers Peak, while the Dance and Music Assembly continued.
"There are two themes for the first Poetry Competition, one is 'Flower' and the other is 'War'. Everyone can choose one, and there are no restrictions on length or rhyme. Begin!"
After Liu Ruyan finished speaking the rules, someone quickly lit an incense stick.
The contestants on the high platform had also prepared their ink and were racking their brains.
There were also some who were inspired and quickly started writing after listening to Liu Ruyan announce the rules.
Soon, two incense sticks had burned, and Xiao Bai was the first to hand in his paper.
Next was Qin Shou, followed by Ji Cunxi, a disciple from the Southern Cloud Continent. The rest of the people handed in their papers almost at the same time.
The task of the first round of judging was handed over to the nine peak masters of the Star River Sect, and the second round of judging was handed over to the pavilion masters of the Observing Star Pavilion from each continent.
Although many people were somewhat dissatisfied with the first round of judging, they endured it because the Star River Sect was now stronger than it used to be.
Moreover, there was still a second round of judging, and the second round of judging had people from each continent, so the final result was still very fair.
Ye Kong, as a judge in the first round, had four answer sheets assigned to him.
The first one was Qin Shou's. Qin Shou chose "Flower": Flowers have a day to bloom again, but people never have their youth again. Ride on the back of a demon beast and walk around everywhere.
Ye Kong almost laughed out loud when he saw it.
The second one was Xiao Bai's. Xiao Bai chose "War": The magic halberd is raised high, and the yin wind howls in gusts. White bones are piled into a tower, and flesh and blood flow into a river. If you ask who I am? Roll around in the corpses.
When Ye Kong saw Xiao Bai's poem, he immediately strengthened his idea of throwing Xiao Bai out to train.
A mind so demonic is not conducive to long-term development.
Next, Ye Kong turned to Ye Hongxue's poem. This time, Ye Hongxue wrote about "Flower", which was a bit unexpected for Ye Kong.
He saw Ye Hongxue write: "It can be white and also yellow, fragrant even when there is no one around. The heart is not originally large, but it can hold a lot of fragrance."
Ye Kong nodded when he saw this poem.
It is said that one can see a person's state of mind from their poetry.
Judging from the poem written by Ye Hongxue, she has gotten rid of many of the nightmares in her heart, which made Ye Kong feel relieved.
There was also an exam paper written by a disciple from the Myriad Demon Continent, but Ye Kong didn't look at it in detail.
Anyway, he, Ye Kong, didn't know him, so there was no need to look so carefully.
Soon, the first round of judging ended.
The first round of judging rejected several unfinished papers, and the rest were handed over to the pavilion masters of the Observing Star Pavilion from each continent.
After repeated judging, comparison, and discussion by the pavilion masters of the Observing Star Pavilion from each continent, the top three were selected.
The first place was Qing Ge, a female disciple from the Holy Continent, the second place was Ye Hongxue, and the third place was Ji Cunxi, a female disciple from the Southern Cloud Continent.
Because all the works were displayed there, and there was no cheating, everyone was very satisfied with the judging results.
Liu Ruyan also took out the rewards as promised. The first place reward was a Shadowless Soft Sword, which could be wrapped around the waist.
It can be used to attack when the enemy is unprepared, and it can continuously supply spiritual power. It is a rare top-grade weapon.
