Completely incoherent garbage!” Wei Hai muttered under his breath before nudging Li Xunshan next to him. “Kid, have you thought of something to put that arrogant brat in his place?”“A Talented Man and a Beautiful Woman... Why would Yue'er choose such a topic?

Given the intensity of his righteous qi, every scholar and poet present should have revered him.

"Li, are you really planning to wear a mask inside?" The old beggar frowned and asked.Opposite him, Li Xunshan wore a white robe, with his scholar’s cap removed and his hair styled high. Without the black cloth covering his face, he would surely be the type of young scholar that would catch the attention of women on the street."I need to cover my face a bit. If I meet with Miss Yue... Ren before the poetry conference ends, I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the conference anymore," Li Xunshan…

"Nonsense! You drunkard, are you trying to get Li into prison?" The old beggar glared, his mustache bristling with disdain. "If you’re itching to land yourself in jail, go on your own. Don’t drag the kid into this!"Wei Hai sneered, "Afraid of what? Worst case, I’ll take full responsibility in court!"The old beggar laughed coldly. "Ha! That’s just tough talk.
