Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 2742

Chapter 2742: Chapter 2743: Poetry Duel (Part 2)

"When shall the moon touch the stone, facing Xiaoyao... what a fine verse, truly a rare gem!" someone exclaimed with deep admiration on their face.

"Most importantly, it’s the sense of serene beauty contained in the poem that leaves one feeling spiritually cleansed just by listening!" another chimed in.

"So far, it’s without a doubt the best of the event! Didn’t expect Ren’an City to bring forth such talent, impressive, truly impressive!" someone muttered while scratching their head.

On stage, Tang Zheng slightly bowed and looked at Zhuo Benzheng as he spoke, "Did you compose this poem impromptu?"

"Yes!"

"Excellent!"

Although Tang Zheng’s evaluation was just two simple words, its significance was profound.

For it was an endorsement from a top scholar of the Qisi Poetry Society!

Wu Zizhang and Yao Yachao displayed excitement, while Qie Weilan...

Gone was her previous bold demeanor; she transformed into Zhuo Benzheng’s adoring fan.

Even Yun Lingxuan on stage couldn’t help but nod slightly, showing a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Gaotian’s eyes flashed with a hint of malice as he suddenly stood up and said blandly.

"The poem is good, but it’s far from the best in the event!"

Upon hearing these words, all eyes in the venue immediately focused on Xu Gaotian.

All participants were aware that the Great General of Ling’an probably put in so much effort to promote his own son.

But the problem was, Xu Gaotian had always been known for his profligate and ruthless behavior, without any known literary talent, so even if they had doubts, people still didn’t know what he intended to do.

Until now, as Xu Gaotian stood up, everyone inside and outside the venue couldn’t help but tense up.

Here it comes!

At that moment, Xu Gaotian leisurely scanned the audience and then slowly said.

"Though I’m not talented, I too have some feelings lately. I wish to recite a poem here to see whether his is better or mine!"

The crowd stirred slightly.

Many faces displayed skepticism.

But this was precisely the effect Xu Gaotian was pursuing.

He suddenly snapped shut his folding fan and softly recited the first line.

"Blossoms cover the tree in red!"

Upon hearing this, many almost laughed aloud.

This doesn’t even count as poetry; it was merely plain talk.

Only Yun Lingxuan was slightly taken aback and then looked at Xu Gaotian with surprise.

Just then, Xu Gaotian continued to recite the next line.

"Fallen flowers leave branches empty!"

The entire venue fell silent, with disdainful looks evaporating, replaced by expressions of astonishment and stupefaction.

Seeing this, Xu Gaotian’s lips curled into a smug smile, and he recited the remaining two lines.

"Only one blossom lingers, sure to follow the wind tomorrow!"

Silent!

Both inside and outside the venue, an unusual quietness prevailed.

Many stared wide-eyed at Xu Gaotian on stage, filled with shock and disbelief.

Who could have imagined that the eldest son of the General’s Mansion in Ling’an, known for his wanton ways, could possess such literary talent?
