Chapter 170 - Poetry Writing Competition!
Chapter 170: Poetry Writing Competition!
“Alright, I agree!” Lin Tianyou sneered.
Because he would not lose here!
Lin Tianyou understood that everyone here was biased toward him. He was the young master of the Lin family and the son of the City Lord of Mo Feng City.
Everyone here wanted to curry favor with him.
Furthermore, the judges were all from here. How could he lose?
Hence, he wanted to take this opportunity to get Ye Chen to leave these three beautiful people.
If Ye Chen said that he lost, he would agree to any condition. Then, he would be allowed to leave the three beauties by his side.
This competition was already destined. Even if he did not produce shi.
Everyone would still think that he was good.
This was status, this was power!
“Alright, then the poetry writing competition will begin now!”
“Please come forward!”
At this moment, Ye Chen saw that there was a table in front of him, and on it was a brush, ink, paper, and Inkstone.
The person hosting the competition said, “This poetry writing competition does not limit the theme. Everyone can write the poem that you are proud of on the paper, and I will read it out. Then, everyone here will judge it together.
“The person with the highest number of votes will win this time!”
Ye Chen nodded and went to the table.
Then, without any hesitation, Ye Chen started to write.
At this moment, he had a sudden thought.
He thought of Mr. Li Bai’s ‘Chivalrous hero’s journey’.
Ye Chen had also liked this poem before. Ye Chen said lightly in his heart, ‘Senior Li Bai, this is a different world anyway. You won’t mind if I lend you a poem, right?’
After Ye Chen finished speaking in his heart, he began to write Li Bai’s chivalrous deeds on the paper.
At this time, Lin Tianyou sneered.
He had naturally read enough poems and books. Moreover, there were so many people on his side. He did not believe that he was not a match for this kid.
Ye Chen finished writing very quickly.
Then, he stopped writing.
Lin Tianyou glanced at Ye Chen and said coldly, “I will definitely make a fool of you!”
Then, he finished writing a poem and stopped writing.
At this moment, the two poems were handed over to the host.
The host and Young Master Lin looked at each other as if they had understood something.
He slowly picked up Lin Tianyou’s poem and said immediately, “Let’s first look at Young Master Lin’s poem!”
He slowly opened his mouth and read, “The green mountains are long and the road is long.
“We meet again by chance.
“Now, I’ll give my heart to a beautiful woman.
“Can a beautiful woman be my bosom friend?”
After reading, Lin Tianyou looked at Zhao Xiyao and Yue Lingxi, as if he was very confident in his poem.
He finished reading the poem.
At this time, those flattery villains immediately said, “Good poem, good poem!”
“Lin’s poem is graceful and elegant, perfectly expressing the feelings of missing a beautiful woman. After that, it is a straightforward confession, which shows the magnanimity in Lin’s chest!”
“If I were a woman, I would definitely marry Young Master Lin for such a masterpiece!”
“That’s right, that’s right. The beautiful woman that Young Master Lin mentioned is too blissful. If I were that beautiful woman, I would definitely be infatuated with such a poem!”
After hearing everyone’s praise, Lin Tianyou’s face revealed a smug expression.
Lin Tianyou then gave a look.
He wanted Ye Chen’s reputation to be tarnished here.
At this moment, the abbot picked up Ye Chen’s poem.
“Next, let’s look at the poem written by this young master!”
The moment he picked it up, his expression changed in an instant.
He was a person who understood poems, and he could tell at a glance just how deep the penmanship of this ‘Chivalrous hero’s journey’ was.
This ‘Chivalrous hero’s journey’ could definitely be said to be a song that had never been sung before.
However, even so, he still had to side with Young Master Lin.
He held Ye Chen’s poem and pretended to frown.
“This…what kind of poem is this? It doesn’t make any sense, it doesn’t make any sense at all…” The host said directly.
Then, he shook his head and continued, “Let me read it for everyone!”
“Sigh, how can I read this kind of poem!” The host immediately shook his head and said.
Hearing that, everyone was interested in what kind of poem Ye Chen had written that made him so embarrassed.
“Alright, I’ll read a few lines for everyone to see how filthy this poem is!”
“This young master wrote something like this. A bird in the sky, a pile of excrement on the ground, a bird in the sky defecated, a pile of excrement on the ground grows grass!”
The crowd burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…this is a poem?”
“Ridiculous, such a person dares to fight with our Master Lin. He is far from our Master Lin!”
“I think you should apologize to Master Lin quickly and see if he can spare you!”
Lin Tianyou looked at Ye Chen with a cold smile.
Ye Chen put on a fake smile as if he had expected this.
At this moment, Zhao Xiyao looked at Ye Chen in shock and said, “Little junior brother, did you really write this poem? I heard from Fifth Senior Sister that you are the reincarnation of the immortal of poetry. How could you write such a poem?”
Ye Chen was not angry and said calmly, “It seems that my poem has been replaced by them.”
“Swapped? How can they be so despicable?” Seventh Senior Sister asked in surprise.
“Little junior brother, then what should we do? Won’t you lose?” Seventh Senior Sister hurriedly asked.
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Senior sister, this is not a competition to see if the poem is good or not!”
“Then, is it…?”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “A competition of power!”
