Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 2705

Chapter 2705: Chapter 2706: Qisi Poetry Society – First Signs in the World

The initiator was none other than the Qisi Poetry Society, an existence of tremendous weight in the entire world.

One must know that because of the great number of academies, poetry and prose flourished in this world; various storybooks and novels were likewise popular everywhere. This could already be seen from the lively bustle of the theater Xue An had visited earlier.

For only in an age where the literary current prospers to the utmost can such diversions and entertainments be so thriving.

Against this backdrop, the Qisi Poetry Society had become one of the supreme halls in the hearts of countless students and scholars.

Although the years had passed for too long and the founder’s identity could no longer be verified, the rules had nevertheless been handed down without interruption.

Every year, the branch societies in various places would from time to time hold different literary gatherings, but these all belonged to ordinary gatherings of men of letters and could not attract much attention.

Only when the triennial term arrived would the Qisi Poetry Society convene its grandest literary assembly.

This was what all students and scholars truly fixed their eyes upon.

This literary assembly was first held by the branches in each region. If you were selected and produced commendable poems, you not only qualified to advance to the assembly held by the main society, but could also have your poems printed in the Qisi Poetry Society’s literary gazette.

Only then could it be called truly becoming famous in one stroke and known throughout the world.

This temptation was fatal for any student or scholar.

Soon, the scholar in the green robe could not help but sigh softly and say, "Enough. With your and my literary talent, we should not hope to shine at this assembly. Let us place all our hopes on Brother Zhuo instead!"

Everyone nodded in succession.

"Exactly. With the learning and talent you and I possess, we may barely be worthy of notice in this small Fangwai City. But I’ve heard that for this branch assembly, every city within the entire Ling’an Domain will participate. That can truly be called a gathering of talents; we need not entertain any illusions." The dark-faced scholar also could not help but say.

Having spoken, they all turned expectant gazes toward Zhuo Benzheng.

Zhuo Benzheng gave a wry smile. "You all need not pin too much hope on me. I have merely obtained the qualification to enter the venue. Once there, whether I can achieve any result at all is still uncertain!"

"Ah, Brother Zhuo, there’s no need to be so modest. Haven’t you devoted yourself to arduous study for so many years precisely for this chance to prove yourself? Moreover, I’ve heard that this assembly will differ somewhat from those in the past!" The fan-holding scholar said slowly.

"Oh? What is different?"

At these words, everyone’s spirits rose at once.

This was because the fan-holding scholar happened to be a scion of the Wu Family in Fangwai City, by the name of Wu Zizhang.

And there was an elder in the Wu Family who had long served in the General’s Mansion, so their information was naturally more well-informed than that of common people.

"For this assembly, the Great General attaches great importance to it and intends to make it the grandest gathering in decades. Therefore he has specially invited Yun Lingxuan, Miss Yun of Lou Wai Lou!"

"What? Could it be that Miss Yun who is said to have learning that amazes the world, and whose zither playing startles gods and ghosts?" the man in the green robe exclaimed.

"How many Miss Yuns can there be under the heavens? Naturally it is her!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present’s expressions changed dramatically.

For no other reason.

It was simply that this Miss Yun’s renown was too great—so great that even their ears, tucked away in this remote corner, had long been filled with tales of her.

"So it’s actually her... If that is truly the case, then this time the Great General really has spent lavishly, for everyone knows this Miss Yun is a courtesan of world renown, one of the main pillars of Lou Wai Lou!" the dark-faced scholar muttered to himself.

Yet Zhuo Benzheng’s face showed a look of contemplation. "Why would the Great General value this assembly to such an extent?"

"Indeed! One must know that in the past the Great General was never of this temperament!"
