Chapter 158

The next day, the name "Zha Tian Bang Li Bai" caused a huge sensation in the Imperial City!

First, Young Master Zhao, the head of the Four Talents of Ming Sheng Academy, walked around the Imperial City yesterday with a piece of rice paper stuck to him, on which was written "Zhao Hao is not as good as Zha Tian Bang Li Bai"!

And because of Xu Que's joke, Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Hao, had a domineering nickname "Zhao Ritian" from then on.

Then, those students who came out of Lady Ya's banquet spread the situation yesterday.

It spread from ten to a hundred, and in just one night, the five words "Zha Tian Bang Li Bai" were spread throughout the Imperial City!

Of course, the most widely spread were the poems and couplets Xu Que recited!

"'Good rain knows the season, it happens in spring. It sneaks into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.' This is truly a good poem, that Li Bai must be a truly great talent!"

"And that sentence 'The sound of wind and rain comes at night, who knows how many flowers have fallen.' It's simply stunning!"

"Didn't expect that in one night, so many famous poems were spread, and they were completed in ten steps. Such talent is truly admirable!"

"More than admirable, we scholars probably feel ashamed of ourselves just standing in front of him!"

"Actually, what touched me the most was that passage 'This rain is born in the sky and dies in the earth, the process in the middle is life.' I really benefited a lot!"

Many talents, cultivators, and some commoners were all discussing Xu Que's poems!

Even many women sat in their boudoirs, often repeating Xu Que's poems.

"Listening to the spring rain in the small building all night, selling apricot blossoms in the deep alley tomorrow morning! What a great talent, Li Bai!"

"Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many pavilions are in the misty rain. What kind of great talent could compose such shocking poems? I really want to get to know him!"

"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through! Only a truly talented person could compose such charming poems!"

……

Unknowingly, Xu Que had a bunch of female fans in the Imperial City!

Moreover, what truly shocked countless people was that his last sentence "Smoke locks the pond willows" shocked everyone, causing the people and students of the whole city, from centenarian old men to four or five-year-old children, to ponder the lower couplet!

However, no one could think of a neat lower couplet.

What was most laughable was that many "Li Bai Smoking" paintings were spread in the Imperial City, which were bought by countless students and displayed at home to show off to friends.

Some people even learned Xu Que's two songs at the banquet and sang "Invincibility is so, so lonely" everywhere!

Everyone was also looking for what the thing that the great talent Li Bai had in his mouth was. It was said to be called a "cigarette," but how do you smoke a cigarette? And what is the cigarette made of?

Being able to make the great talent Li Bai so full of talent, this cigarette must be a very good thing.

Of course, besides cigarettes, the words "Beer plus cigarettes, boundless magic power" that Xu Que said casually at the banquet made some cultivators go crazy.

For a time, those noble family children who liked to chase after talents and beauties and liked novel and fun things were all looking for rare items called "cigarettes" and "beer" on the streets and alleys.

But after searching the whole Capital, no one could explain clearly what the cigarettes and beer in the great talent Li Bai's mouth were.

Until the afternoon of that day, Lady Ya brought a pack of cigarettes to visit some noble ladies, and after one puff, she shocked everyone.

Even many generals smoked one, then shouted happily, begging Lady Ya for another one.

In less than an hour, the pack of cigarettes Xu Que gave Lady Ya was completely empty!

Consequently, on this night, many generals tossed and turned, unable to sleep, lonely and restless, just because—their nicotine addiction was acting up!

……

And Xu Que was still sleeping soundly in the inn, Tang Liufeng went out to drink and didn't return all night.

No one came to disturb him, so Xu Que slept with peace of mind, sleeping for a day and two nights, completely unaware that he had caused a stir in the Imperial City by attending a banquet!

And in his mind, the system detected that he was sleeping, so there was no notification sound, but the Acting Cool Points were rising rapidly, one after another!

Until the morning of the third day after the banquet, Xu Que woke up stretching, and was completely stunned looking at the more than 8,000 Acting Cool Points in the system interface!

By the time he walked out of the room and went downstairs to eat, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of people. Amidst various worshipful voices, he finally understood the reason.

There was even a scholar who took out a "Li Bai Smoking" painting and asked him to compose a poem.

Xu Que didn't even think about it. If you don't act cool, you're not a human. He wrote on it—"Hand holding the sun and moon to pluck the stars, there is no one like me in the world!"

Signature: Zha Tian Bang Li Bai!

……

Subsequently, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd and the notification sound of the system rewarding Acting Cool Points, Xu Que returned to his room and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"Hahaha, these Acting Cool Points are rising so fast that I'll wake up laughing in my dreams. Next time if I change to another place, I have to continue acting cool like this!"

After speaking, he ordered the waiter to get a bucket of hot water, and took a comfortable bath.

Immediately, he changed into a black robe, carried the Xuanzhong Ruler on his back, and went out!

It's not that he didn't want to continue acting as a scholar, it's just that he was afraid that if he went out as a scholar, he would be blocked again, so he simply changed back into a black robe, disguised as a scattered cultivator, and rushed to the Imperial Palace!

Xu Que had inquired that the day for the princess to recruit a son-in-law was tomorrow, and the location was in the Imperial Palace.

So he wanted to go over in advance, find Zi Xuan and Princess Yan Yang, ask them for the Imperial Mausoleum map, and by the way, inquire about the recruitment of the son-in-law tomorrow.

Because, he wanted to act a huge cool tomorrow!

He wanted the Fire Emperor to make a huge fool of himself in front of all the people in the city!

But this matter had to be planned well. After all, the Fire Emperor was already at the sixth layer of the Infant Transformation Stage, with extremely powerful strength, so before this, he had to be fully prepared, so as not to fail in acting cool and get roasted instead!

Walking through several main roads in the Imperial City, he could hear people discussing the deeds of "Li Bai" the day before everywhere, and many people were reciting his poems!

And Xu Que, wearing a black robe, no one could recognize his appearance, and he walked all the way to the front of the Imperial Palace.

Just thinking about what excuse to use to get in.

Unexpectedly, before he got close to the palace gate, a guard at the Nascent Soul Stage rushed over, reached out to block Xu Que, and said coldly: "The Imperial Palace is a restricted area, idlers should not approach!"

"Hehe, idlers? I advise you to report to Princess Yan Yang." Xu Que sneered.

"Go tell her, Zha Tian Bang Hua Wuque is here!"
