Chapter 499: I have never seen such a shameless person!

"How ridiculous!"

"My 'Ascending the River, Autumn Moon' was plagiarized by this shameless old man, who then insisted I was young at the time while he was rising in fame, so he acted shamelessly; now my 'Clouds reflect her clothes, flowers reflect her face, spring breeze brushes the railing, dew glows thick' is being twisted against me!"

"Even this 'Red Bean' written on the spot is being questioned!"

"Truly, social morals are declining, and people are not as they used to be!"

Gao Yang stood with his hands behind his back in the Jin Luandian, speaking out.

"But be that as it may, today I shall make you all convinced!"

Gao Yang looked as if he had suffered a great grievance, took a deep breath, and spoke suddenly, his resolute eyes sweeping across the entire Jin Luandian.

The officials were all taken aback, full of curiosity.

What did Gao Yang mean by this?

What was he going to do?

"If one poem of lovesickness is not enough, then I shall provide more, and to prevent further slander, this time I will act entirely on my mood; some I will complete, others I will only recite half of, so that you all may be convinced!"

The words exploded in the Jin Luandian like a sonic boom.

Everyone was moved.

Gao Yang was going to write more poems, and to prevent slander from the Great Chu delegation, some poems would only be half-recited!

Even those who had grudges against Gao Yang couldn't help but feel a certain way.

Gao Yang had suffered too great a grievance, and the Great Chu delegation, along with this so-called Great Chu Poet Saint, were truly going too far.

To what extent had they pushed him!

Zhou Laoyezi's heart tightened, and he looked at Gao Yang with a nervous face.

This Living Yama had more than one poem about lovesickness?

Gao Yang met everyone's gaze and slowly moved his feet, as if deliberating.

"Enter my gate of lovesickness, know my bitterness of lovesickness!"

Then, he continued, "Long lovesickness, long memories; short lovesickness, endless longing. Had I known it would entangle the heart like this, I... would rather not have known you in the beginning!"

As these lines were uttered.

Zhou Laoyezi's fists clenched suddenly.

The officials were all stunned.

Even Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er gripped the armrests of the dragon throne tightly.

"Long lovesickness, long memories; short lovesickness, endless longing!"

Wu Zhao's heart was shaken, her phoenix eyes focused on Gao Yang!

"This Gao Yang!"

"What a line: 'Had I known it would entangle the heart like this, I would rather not have known you in the beginning!'"

After hearing this, Cui Xinghe shrank back completely.

He looked at Gao Yang's back, as if looking up at a high mountain!

It was one thing to be outmatched in poisonous schemes, but to be crushed in poetry as well!

Cui Xinghe closed his eyes, his whole body trembling violently.

Even if his talent wasn't weaker than Zhou Laoyezi's, so what?

In front of Gao Yang, he was still like a mere chicken or dog!

But this was not the end; Gao Yang walked a few more steps, his voice slowly echoing, one poem after another, resounding through the Jin Luandian.

"Chrysanthemums bloom, chrysanthemums wither, wild geese fly high, the person has not returned, a curtain of wind and moon is idle!"

"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the tail of the Yangtze River, thinking of you daily but not seeing you, drinking the water of the Yangtze River together!"

"If life could only be like the first meeting, why would the autumn wind grieve the painted fan!"

As these poems were recited, the officials were all shaken, their eyes widening.

Gao Feng was even more tense, his face full of disbelief.

This wicked son!

He is simply terrifyingly strong!

Gao Yang was also enjoying himself; all of this was naturally intentional, waiting for the Great Chu Princess to refuse to admit defeat and question him again, so that he could take the opportunity to disguise himself as the weak one who had suffered a great grievance.

This would allow him to recite half a poem!

As everyone knows, reciting a whole poem and reciting half a poem are two different concepts!

Furthermore, when there are many masterpieces of which only half are recited, for some scholars who love poetry like their lives, this is a great torture!

The reputation of the Great Chu literary world would be ruined!

Even the scholars of Great Chu would not be able to hold their heads up!

"Exquisite dice set with red beans... damn!"

Suddenly, Gao Yang's voice paused, and a national curse slipped out.

The officials opened their eyes in unison.

Once "Exquisite dice set with red beans" was uttered, they felt that the lovesickness of the second half would surely be displayed vividly.

They were waiting for the next line, only to hear Gao Yang say "damn."

Even the gazes of Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er fell on Gao Yang.

Damn what?

"Lord Gao, may I ask what the second half is, damn what?"
