Chapter 506

~4 min read 750 words

Chu Ningyu saw this and also stood out.

Zhou Laoyezi was not only the Poet Saint of Great Chu, but in her heart, he was also an elder worthy of her respect, yet he had been angered to death by Gao Yang.

And even now, he had closed his eyes, dying with regret!

He died for Great Chu, and even after death, he didn't have a clean reputation!

If she didn't get justice for Zhou Laoyezi, was she, Chu Ningyu, even human?

She knew Wei Laoyezi's ability, but now Wu Zhao was clearly going to protect Gao Yang.

Chu Ningyu took a deep breath and, bearing the pressure brought by Wu Zhao, said, "Your Majesty, the Great Qian Emperor, since that is the case, Great Chu will not seek instruction from Lord Gao; I ask the entire Great Qian to instruct us!"

"As long as one person in Great Qian can surpass Wei Laoyezi, Great Chu will let go of the matter regarding Zhou Laoyezi, how about that?"

"Of course, I am a guest in Great Qian and am just offering an opinion; if Your Majesty does not agree, I have no other way."

Wei Laoyezi also said indifferently, "As long as one person in Great Qian can surpass this old man, then Great Qian wins!"

"In that case, does Great Qian still not dare to accept the challenge?"

As these words were uttered.

The expressions of the officials in the entire Jin Luandian changed suddenly.

Chu Ningyu and Wei Laoyezi had spoken to this point; if Great Qian still didn't agree, it would be too shameful.

But once they agreed, if the entire Great Qian really couldn't defeat Wei Laoyezi alone, then they would lose face completely.

Great Qian seemed to have a choice, but in reality, they had no choice!

Cui Xinghe heard this and was eager to try.

But looking at Wei Laoyezi's old face, the fire in his heart was suddenly extinguished.

He was good at poetry, but when it came to couplets, this was purely his weakness!

Thinking about it, Cui Xinghe silently stepped back again.

Wu Zhao heard this, and her phoenix eyes landed on Chu Ningyu.

This Great Chu Princess was too arrogant, which also ignited the anger in her heart.

Her dignified Great Qian had countless scholars and the top scholar Cui Xinghe, who was renowned across the seven kingdoms; how could the strength of an entire Great Qian nation be afraid of Wei Laoyezi alone?

But the next second, Wu Zhao discovered something wrong.

Eh!

Where is Cui Xinghe?

Looking again, Cui Xinghe had shrunk back like a quail.

Wu Zhao: "..."

She turned her gaze to Lu Wen, Xu Xuanji, and others.

These were all top scholars and talents who had once moved the entire Changancheng!

But the civil officials all looked at their noses and hearts, steady as old dogs, not moving at all!

Wu Zhao clenched her fists, full of disbelief.

This is the group of civil officials of her Great Qian?

But now that she had spoken, there was no way back.

Just as Wu Zhao was about to accept the challenge, a faint voice rang through the Jin Luandian even faster.

"The dragon does not chant, the tiger does not roar; a mere King of Kings, how ridiculous, how ridiculous!"

"It's just matching couplets; why would the entire Great Qian need to act? I alone am enough!"

Wu Zhao heard this and suddenly looked at Gao Yang.

A brilliant light shone in her eyes.

Gao Yang actually understood couplets too!

This first line was clearly a preemptive mockery of Wei Laoyezi!

The officials also looked at Gao Yang, especially Cui Xinghe, who looked surprised.

Gao Yang also knows couplets?

Wei Laoyezi saw this, and his eyes lit up.

He blurted out, "The ghost does not hide, the god does not avoid; a mere Great Qian Yama, how laughable, how laughable!"

"Lord Gao, this old man is beginning to recognize your literary talent, but today, facing me, you have no chance of winning!"

Wei Laoyezi's eyes radiated light; he stared fixedly at Gao Yang and said loudly.

Gao Yang saw this and raised an eyebrow.

This Wei Laoyezi really had some skills; his reaction speed was indeed impressive!

"Since Wei Laoyezi wants to avenge Zhou Laoyezi, there is no need to kneel and then humiliate me; I will bet my life against you directly!"

"The loser will lie on the board with Zhou Laoyezi, how about that?"
