Chapter 500

~4 min read 611 words

An imperial censor asked with a thirsty face.

Gao Yang's old face flushed red.

Damn!

He had hit a snag!

What was the next line after "Exquisite dice set with red beans"?

Although he was cursing in his heart, Gao Yang's expression didn't change in the slightest.

He turned his gaze to where Zhou Laoyezi was and said indifferently, "I dare ask Zhou Laoyezi, dare ask the Great Princess, is this enough?"

"If it is not enough, I shall continue!"

"Have you heard these in Great Chu, Great Princess?"

Gao Yang's voice echoed in the Jin Luandian like a sonic boom.

At this moment.

Zhou Laoyezi's face turned pale.

Chu Ningyu's face also turned pale.

She looked at Gao Yang in utter disbelief.

Was Gao Yang hiding so much?

Even Chinese cabbage costs money, but these masterpieces for the ages were being recited by Gao Yang as if they were free.

Zhou Laoyezi stared at Gao Yang; in this instant, his entire spirit suddenly dissipated, and he looked extremely aged.

Although he was known as the Great Chu's number one Poet Saint and had written a few good poems, in front of Gao Yang, he was like a new recruit who had just learned to write poetry.

This Gao Yang is terrifyingly strong!

Although extremely unwilling in his heart, Zhou Laoyezi had to admit that in the face of so many masterpieces for the ages, he no longer had any chance of winning!

Zhou Laoyezi closed his eyes in pain.

His legs went soft, and he knelt down.

This scene moved everyone.

Some officials of the Great Chu delegation even averted their eyes.

The Great Chu's number one Poet Saint, hailed as one of the top literary giants among the seven kingdoms, had actually knelt before Gao Yang in public.

After today, Gao Yang's name would resound throughout the seven kingdoms!

Zhou Laoyezi closed his eyes in pain; at this moment, he felt that his decades of pride had all shattered into pieces; he had lost, and lost extremely miserably.

"Lord Gao, this old man has lost!"

"This old man is willing to abide by the bet and take Lord Gao as my master!"

"From now on, this old man shall study diligently under Lord Gao!"

Zhou Laoyezi felt that after saying these words, his entire spirit was gone.

But there was no help for it; under the huge disparity in strength, quibbling seemed meaningless.

He looked at Wu Zhao and said, "I implore the Great Qian Emperor to bring a cup of hot tea, so that this old man may offer tea to Lord Gao and perform the apprenticeship ceremony!"

Wu Zhao was just about to give the order.

But Gao Yang spoke up.

"Your Majesty, wait!"

"Zhou Laoyezi, please rise!"

Chu Ningyu had originally lowered her head, unable to bear seeing Zhou Laoyezi perform the apprenticeship, but she hadn't expected Gao Yang to take the initiative to stop it all.

She looked at Gao Yang in shock; could it be that Gao Yang saw Zhou Laoyezi's advanced age and wanted to show mercy?

Did this scoundrel still have some humanity?

Zhou Laoyezi was taken aback; if possible, he naturally didn't want to take Gao Yang as his master.

"Lord Gao, what do you mean by this?"

As he spoke, Zhou Laoyezi prepared to stand up.

But the next second.

Gao Yang's voice suddenly echoed in the Jin Luandian.

"Shut up! You plagiarizing thief, a broken-backed dog, having lost the backbone and integrity of a scholar, do you think someone like you is worthy of taking me, Gao Yang, as your master?"

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
