Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh

The arrival of Wu Qi had pleasantly surprised Princess Zhang Le, as at thea sad face Her little frowning face suddenly smoothed out and her pair of slender brows tilted upward as she beckoned Wu Qi, smiled and said, "Wu Qi, come over here Let me introduce to you, 'the most famous talented woman of Great Yan Dynasty - Sister Yu Qianqian'!"

Yu Qianqian slance over at Wu Qi with both hands on her back Meanwhile, Wu Qi earing a rather frivolous se crowd of white-robe-clad youngreat nay, the way Wu Qi walked could not look better than an ordinarywith his body shaking up and down in a weird manner He looked absolutely improper and not appropriate for today's occasion, which was attended by many talented and well-e crowd of youths, and it never lacked so their best in putting out a good performance before Yu Qianqian so that they could leave a deeper impression in the heart of the beauty In an instant, over thirty young men clad in the sa down from the side of their waists, suddenly rose to their feet They pointed their fingers toward Wu Qi and shouted, "Who are you? Why did you not take your bath and put on clean clothes before co here? Do you knohat this place is? How could you be so i perplexed, Wu Qi halted his steps He ran his eyes around and surveyed the surrounding young men, ere all clad in the same white robe and tall crown, each dressed up decently Then, he gave himself a brief look: because of the rushed journey and the slaughter, his long green robe was rather rass debris He sneered and said, "Take a bath and put on clean clothes? Where is this place? Do I, your grandfather Wu Qi [1], have the need to bath and put on clean clothes before co out fro hter Every one of the to even stand closer to Wu Qi, wearing an expression of pride and disgust in their eyes while looking at hi men who rose to their feet just now, one of them shook his head and said, "Your words and actions are an insult to the politeness! This is a decent place where we, the scholars, gather and discuss poerace to this place?"

Instantly, Princess Zhang Le's face fell and darkened Furiously, she glared at that young randson of Marquis Qingyang? Hht of inheritance, I'll not be called Zi Xuan anyht of inheritance to the title of Marquis Qingyang? Orat the same time? But, what sort of cri Le wasout sche men who showed no respect to Wu Qi, Yu Qianqian, who had been standing beside her, clearly heard the murmur of the Princess She furrowed her brows, stretched both her hands out and lightly pressed in the air while shouting out loud, "Be silent, everyone!" With that, every single young man on the spot had their mouths shut in an instant They fell back to their seats and brought up a soleentle, decent and handso their eyes on Yu Qianqian's face, full of tender affection

Yu Qianqian saze Princess Zhang Le's face instantly turned extre ht of her, the Princess of Great Yan Dynasty, was not as heavy as this Yu Qianqian This had ht at the huge drawing paper lying before her, and her little lips were curling up

Pursing her lips to suppress the laughter, Yu Qianqian threw her glance over at Wu Qi When her eyes reached a few blood stains found on Wu Qi's shirt, her expression changed instantly She gave all the young , and only then did she turn to Wu Qi and said with a gentle voice, "Marquis of Tianyun, your honorable Marquis Wu Qi, Yu Qianqian offers her greetings! This is a place where I host afor people of the sa The rule of taking a bath and putting on a clean cloth isany disgrace to the elegance of poetry and drawing"

She sighed lightly, gave Wu Qi a smile and said, "It is a rule set by all of us, and is cos difficult for Marquis Wu Qi"

Wu Qi fixed his gaze at Yu Qianqian for a very long hter But this time, either intentionally or unintentionally, he unleashed the aura unique to Xiantian warriors The loud laugh of his rolled and rocked through the air, shook the water of Myriad Red River and caused waves of few feet tall to billohile the wooden platfor violently If it were not tied on a few iron anchors, the wooden platfor been overturned by the waves

"This is absurd, a funny joke! Could poetry and drawing only be considered elegant after one took a bath and put on clean clothes? This est joke since the world was created!" Disdainfully, Wu Qi gazed at Yu Qianqian, sneered and said, "So, does that mean that one must take a bath and put on clean clothes, and only then he is able to co? This is si the essentials, as stupid as a pig! All of you are just a bunch of posers who know nothing, yet you still try to discuss poetry and drawing?!"

He stoh and said, "Taking a bath and putting on new clean clothes can allow a person to compose an excellent poe? Then those prostitutes in the brothels who had sex with thousand, if not more than ten thousand men, do you have any idea how many times they have to take a bath in a day? So, does that make them the most talented women in Great Yan Dynasty? And does thatsister Yu?"

Suddenly, Yu Qianqian had her face turned extrehtly Her eyes ide and nearly popped out from the eye sockets Since when had she ever met with someone as unreasonable and rude as Wu Qi? Coant bearing and looked gentle, cultured, and knowledgeable in poetry and drawing, Wu Qi was like a wild boar who just invaded into a vegetable garden, traetables in the garden and turning it into ae Each looked like a stray cat which had its buttock caught on fire, or like a dutiful offspring who just found out the to out by someone All few thousands of the Wu Qi for his absurd and unfounded speech They called him unbridled, and a man who talked wildly, the number one unscrupulous man under the heavens, and the cloho deserved to be killed i misters who came from influential clans and possessed soot so exasperated that they drew out their shile shouting for a death duel with Wu Qi! What Wu Qi said had insulted their dignity, their honor He was openly huout Six great deinal for up into the sky Six powerful soul pressures pressed down fro all few thousands of young round Then, the deep,cas I know nothing about the peculiar things you all are playing with But, His Majesty has given us an order, asking us, your ancestors, to protect Wu Qi Who dares touch even a single hair of his, I will kill all his clan members!" He clenched his teeth forcefully and produced a loud noise, let out a loud laugh and said, "I have not eaten hu time, and I miss the taste so much nowadays!"

The best way to deal with these scholars who regarded theuished and admirable men was to place a sharp sword or blade at their throats All few thousands of hotheads iuan Yuhen, who had thrown a hostile glance at Wu Qi just now, had his mouth shut up There were six demon bears who had formed their Demon Cores here Yet he was all alone There was no way he could be a match for the joint force of six de brothers to come back down With heavy steps, they strode back to the ferry

With both hands placed behind his back, Wu Qi turned to Yu Qianqian, who now had her face turned greenish-pale He srees hat I've just said? Heh, all of you are indeed a bunch of self-clai yet think you're so sister Yu, what is the topic of today's, and she could not co ti Le had her face melted in a sweet sly, she looked at Wu Qi, giggled with the gentlest iven her coest Sect Elder of Heaven Breaking Sword Sect The poem composed by him is called 'The Journey of an Immortal' She said that as we are mere mortals, we can't conjecture the realo on the reverse way by not co related to I ordinaryin her eyes, she looked at Yu Qianqian, then said with a cold voice, "Also, sister Yu said that as I can draw an excellent painting of birds and beasts, she has requestedhorses here, on the spot However, as I've never witnessed those inferior'whatever horses'?"

Wu Qi sneered, then he strode towards the table in front of Princess Zhang Le and picked up a stack of papers On these papers were the poeup in an influential clan or scholars raised in literary clans Which one of them had really witnessed the true lifestyle of ordinary ers?

The poey of poetry, and the style was the sah the words of choice were beautiful and elegant, yet they kept repeating the sa noises of spinning wheel', si at Yu Qianqian, who had an extrehtly expression, Wu Qi suddenly broke out into a loud laughter

"Poeers? Look at these, look what all of you have composed? Well, well, I'll let you, a bunch of unworldly toads who never see the real world before, witness what a real poe poeer is!"

Then, he pondered for a briefa few steps back and forth on the platfor,

"Date flowers fall in showers on e wheels are spinning thread;

A straw-cloaked man sells 'melons' beneath atree

Wine-drohen the road is long, I yearn for bed;

Throat parched when the sun is high, I long for tea

I knock at a farmer's door to see what he’ll treat me"[2]

As Wu Qi did not find any cucumbers in this world till now and had no idea if they really existed, thus he replaced it with 'le person on the spot Soe in poetry had their faces fall, throwing a glance at Wu Qi as if they had just seen a ghost
