Chapter 90.1

Chapter 90.1

With a clang, Wine Sword Immortals sword flew from behind and landed in front of Empty Hand Master as a warning.

Bai Zhu also emerged from the shadows, her sword pointing at Empty Hand Master.

Liu Eunuch, Chai Yulang, Chai Yuxin, and others all rushed over, surrounding Lin Beifan for protection.

Lin Beifan waved his hand nonchalantly, Everyone, no need to be tense. This old fellow who has one foot in the coffin cant hurt me!

Empty Hand Master trembled with rage, One foot in the coffin? I could crush you with just one foot! Its just that I, being a senior, do not bully the weak in martial arts! Come on, lets start our poetry contest!

Lin Beifan realized that the Empty Hand Master before him had a competitive nature.

He chuckled to himself, thinking, watch me play you to death!

With disdain, he said, Whats the point in competing with you? Whether I win or lose, I lose face either way. Theres no benefit for me!

Alright, alright, if I, the old man, lose, how about I give you a treasure? the Empty Hand Master said impatiently.

Lin Beifan spread his hands and said in a booming voice, I am the ruler of a nation, wealthy across the four seas. Do you think I need your trinkets?

If the old man loses, Ill owe you a favor, how about that? the Empty Hand Master urged.

Lin Beifan still looked disdainful: Apart from stealing, what can you do? What use do I have for a favor from you?This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Then what will it take for you to compete with me?

The Empty Hand Master became angry. You dont agree? Believe it or not that this old man can sneak into the imperial palace every other day and steal your possessions so youll have no peace?

Lin Beifan also became furious, You old thief, believe it or not, Ill have people go out and spread the word that you, Empty Hand Master, are an old homosexual, with a preference for the same sex, especially fond of male love, came to men house everyday and get excited at the sight of men?

Empty Hand Master trembled with anger, F*ck! Have you no heart at all?

Lin Beifan was unyielding, It takes one to know one!

Empty Hand Master felt helpless, never having encountered such a shameless and underhanded young rascal!

But the thought of a contest made him itch with anticipation.

At that moment, Lin Beifan glanced at Empty Hand Master and sighed leisurely, Forget it, considering your age, its not easy. Ill reluctantly agree to have a match with you!

Empty Hand Master looked up excitedly, Really?

Lin Beifans voice boomed, I am the ruler of a nation; how could I possibly lie? Now, quickly express your gratitude for my magnanimity!

The Empty Hand Master said excitedly, Thank you

No need for formalities! Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Empty Hand Master:

Why did it feel like he was the one pleading?

But it didnt matter, as long as the comparison was made. The process was unimportant.

At this moment, Lin Beifan added, Merely competing seems a bit monotonous and dull. How about we spice it up a bit? The loser must do something within their power for the winner. What do you say?

The Empty Hand Master didnt see any issue with this added stake.

Firstly, he didnt believe he would lose.

Secondly, even if he did lose, it was just a matter of doing something within his capabilities, nothing too excessive.

Without any hesitation, he nodded: Agreed, its a deal!

How shall we compete? asked Lin Beifan.

Looking up at the vast, bright moon in the sky, the Empty Hand Master smiled and said, Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time when the moon is full and people reunite. Lets take the moon as our theme, and each of us will compose a poem. How about that?

Lin Beifan nodded, Alright, who will go first?

The Empty Hand Master said, You go first!

A thief is a thief, with no respect for the rules!

Your Majesty, since he does not abide by the rules, theres no need for us to be courteous!

Lin Beifan generously waved his hand: My ministers, please calm yourselves! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I am in high spirits. I shall give him another chance so he may die with his eyes closed!

His Majesty is benevolent! the officials shouted in praise.

Hmph! The Empty Hand Master snorted in embarrassment and lowered his head to ponder.

This time, it must be something difficult, not so mainstream, so that the other party cant use any backup poem.

Next, how about we take beauty as our topic?

The Empty Hand Master pointed at Consort Wang Xiangjun, who was next to Lin Beifan, and provocatively said, Lets compose poetry to praise her looks!

This topic was a bit cunning and malicious!

Not only did it increase the difficulty, but he also wanted to make Lin Beifan lose face in front of his own woman!

Alright, those are your words!

Lin Beifans body jolted with excitement: Ive got it!

The Empty Hand Masters eyes nearly popped out in astonishment: So quick?

Of course, now listen carefully!

Lin Beifan, pointing at Wang Xiangjun, spoke with fervor and emotion:

Clouds wish to dress her.

Flowers long to adorn her face.

The spring breeze sweeps the threshold, dew glistens with grace.

If not atop the mountain of jade shes seen, shed be under the moon at the Jade Terrace!

The officials were once again astounded as if struck by a revelation, clapping and cheering in approval.

This poem is wonderful!

The louds wish to dress her, the flowers long to adorn her face such beauty in the opening lines of the poem! Only a peerless beauty could intoxicate the flowers and clouds to such an extent!

Then it goes on to use the Mountain of Jade and the Jade Terrace, comparing the Consort to a fairy from the heavens, the metaphor is simply exquisite!

Reading through the entire poem, the image of a beauty leaps right off the page!

Another famous poem through the ages!

Even the Consort was extremely surprised, rushing to Lin Beifans side with a flushed face, she called out, Your Majesty!

She shyly lowered her head, but her eyes were filled with Lin Beifan.

Lin Beifan wrapped his arm around the beauty and once again burst into proud laughter: Haha

The Empty Hand Master was shocked and dismayed; his opponent had done it again!

And it was yet another timeless masterpiece, completely overshadowing the poem he had just prepared!

Could it be that the other party is the reincarnation of a legendary poet?

He couldnt believe that the foolish emperor before him could possess such a level of poetic talent!

So he shook his head vigorously: It doesnt count, it doesnt count It must be something youve prepared in advance! The two of you are together day and night, you must have prepared this long ago, just taking this opportunity to present it! Therefore, lets have a rematch!

The officials once again became angry, vying to show their worth.
