#223 - Won the first place in poetry and met the Fairy Queen

Facing the crowd's ridicule, Qin Changqing remained calm and directly found a seat near the front.

He was more than used to such small scenes.

The crowd exchanged glances, all somewhat puzzled.

Qin Changqing's composure in the face of so many big shots was indeed unlike that of an ordinary person, and combined with the rules of Wanhua Tower, it couldn't help but make people start to speculate.

Could he be a distinguished guest of the Flower Tower Master?

After Qin Changqing sat down, a charming Nascent Soul stage female cultivator soon brought spiritual food and fine wine.

Tsk tsk, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is just a maidservant, as expected of the Central Region!

Soon, the door was pushed open again, and two figures entered side by side. On the left was the bright-eyed, fair-skinned youth with an extraordinary temperament, wearing a special mask that concealed his aura and most of his face. On the right was Hua Manlou's Master, Hua Rumeng.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone!" Hua Rumeng said with a smile, "According to the old rules, today's poetry meeting will still be hosted by Daoist Yun. Whoever wins the top prize will receive a sixth-order spiritual medicine or a magic weapon!"

"Hahaha, Daoist Yun is still so generous. This time, the top prize will definitely be mine, Lu Yuankang!"

"Daoist Yun, it's been so long, and everyone is an old friend. Tell us honestly, are you a member of the imperial family from the Imperial Capital?"

"That's right, your surname is Yun, and you're so generous. Everyone knows it in their hearts, why not be frank and open about it?"

The crowd laughed.

The youth surnamed Yun smiled and said, "Everyone is a gentleman, why bother about status and position? If that's the case, it would be inferior. Think about how to win the top prize, that's the right way!"

As he spoke, the youth surnamed Yun slightly raised his hand, and a spiritual talisman exploded in mid-air, revealing a golden character: 君 (Jun - Ruler/Monarch).

"This poetry meeting will be themed around 'Ruler/Monarch', let's begin!"

The youth surnamed Yun waved his hand again, and a treasure box with radiant light appeared on the stage, filled with spiritual energy, obviously containing good treasures.

The crowd couldn't help but feel excited and began to write.

The years of cultivators are endless. The people present have cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. To pass the boring years, they will find some hobbies. Especially in this Linxian Dynasty, due to the influence of His Majesty's preferences, coupled with the establishment of Wanhua Tower, many cultivators spend time studying poetry, songs, calligraphy, and painting in order to win a smile from a beautiful woman. Although it is inevitable that there is a sense of affectation, some people do have some real skills.

Ruler/Monarch?

Qin Changqing's eyes showed contemplation, and he turned his gaze between Hua Rumeng and the youth surnamed Yun, especially pausing on the youth surnamed Yun for a moment, before starting to write.

This kind of thing was his forte. Since he was here, he would accept these treasures without any politeness.

The girl Qingyin was very sensible and ground ink and added fragrance for him.

The attention of the youth surnamed Yun and Hua Rumeng was also focused on Qin Changqing, with their divine senses constantly enveloping him.

"Daoist Yun, what do you think of my poem?"

Someone quickly composed a poem and proudly showed it to everyone.

"Fellow Daoist has good literary talent!"

"Amazing, amazing! Let's see how my poem is?"

"Daoist Yun, it's not that I'm boasting, but my ability to write poetry is even above my cultivation!"

Several others quickly composed poems, and there was a chorus of praise in the hall.

The youth surnamed Yun and Hua Rumeng shook their heads slightly, obviously not satisfied with these poems.

And Qin Changqing, after a brief period of contemplation, finally settled on the tone and began to write.

The attention of the two immediately turned over.

"When autumn comes on September 8th, my flowers bloom, and all other flowers are slain!"

The first sentence made the youth surnamed Yun and Hua Rumeng's eyes light up.

What a poem with such spirit!

Flowers originally symbolize beauty and gentleness, but the use of the word 'slain' reveals an unspeakable sharpness and excitement.

Hua Rumeng couldn't help but look at the youth surnamed Yun, the meaning was obvious, how about it, the person I recommended is amazing, right?

The youth surnamed Yun in front of him was probably more than just a relative of the imperial family, and with the theme of "Ruler/Monarch" and Hua Rumeng's attitude, his identity was almost obvious.

"Good, good, good! What a court adorned with Immortal Armor!"

The youth surnamed Yun praised loudly, immediately causing everyone in the hall to look up.

"You don't need to compete anymore, this time the top prize belongs to this Fellow Daoist Changqing!" The youth surnamed Yun laughed loudly and personally brought the treasure box to Qin Changqing, then pointed to the poem on the table and said, "Can you give me this calligraphy?"

"Of course!"

Qin Changqing didn't care, a poem could be exchanged for a sixth-order treasure, it was simply too profitable.

At this time, the others also saw the poem written by Qin Changqing, with expressions of astonishment and shock on their faces.

Although literature is first and martial arts is second, in the face of this level of poetry, their poems paled in comparison and could not be presented at all.

"Fellow Daoist has good literary talent!"

Lu Yuankang, a late-stage Fusion Realm cultivator, said with envy.

Qin Changqing put the treasure box into his storage ring and cupped his hands with a smile: "Thank you, thank you!"

"Fellow Daoist's literary talent impresses me, I would like to have a private conversation with you, is that possible?" The youth surnamed Yun put away the calligraphy and suddenly grabbed Qin Changqing's hand, his eyes a little strange.

Qin Changqing shuddered immediately and quickly withdrew his hand.

Damn, this guy doesn't have a thing for the same sex, does he?

"I'm sorry, I have things to do, we'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later, thank you for the treasure!"

Seeing that the youth surnamed Yun seemed to have ulterior motives towards him, Qin Changqing's hair stood on end, and he quickly got up to say goodbye.

The youth surnamed Yun immediately looked regretful, but he didn't stop him, watching Qin Changqing lead Qingyin away quickly.

The poetry meeting continued, and the youth surnamed Yun took out two more fifth-order treasures as rewards, while he and Hua Rumeng left first.

Inside the thirty-third floor quiet room.

The youth surnamed Yun frowned and said, "This person is too arrogant, doesn't he even give me face?"

Hua Rumeng covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, your actions just now were a bit too much, I'm afraid it caused a misunderstanding with him. If you restore your true form, I'm afraid he would rush to ask to stay!"

The youth surnamed Yun touched his face and smiled bitterly: "Being this emperor is really too tiring. Not only do I have to put on an act in front of my ministers, but even when I come to your Wanhua Tower, I can't show my true face!"

He took off the mask, his right hand flashed with spiritual light and wiped his face, the surrounding spiritual power surrounded him, and he transformed into a stunning beauty with a curvy figure and a beautiful appearance.

If the citizens of the Linxian Dynasty knew about this scene, they would probably be shocked.

The emperor who has controlled the dynasty for thousands of years, who is said to be fond of beautiful women, and even took the Master of Wanhua Tower as his concubine, is actually a woman, and a stunning beauty!
