After the servant retrieved the scroll, he first handed it to Manager Mo. Upon glancing at it, Mo’s expression froze momentarily.He then passed the scroll to a scholar standing closest to the literary platform. Over the span of about a cup of tea, the contents of the scroll were passed around among the crowd in the main hall on the first floor.Of course, during this circulation, they deliberately skipped the table where Gu Ning’an and his companions sat.

Witnessing this, not only were the water bandits astonished, but even Gu Ning'an and his companions were stunned. Who would have thought that Wei Hai had so much silver hidden beneath his feet?A quick glance showed it was far more than forty taels.“With that much silver hidden under your feet, you claimed you couldn’t gather forty taels?” The long-bearded bandit’s eyes gleamed with greed, and he slowly lowered his curved blade.Hearing this, Wei Hai didn’t even bother to put his shoes back on. He…

“What kind of nonsense poem is this? 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? Could it be that, in her heart, she sees herself and Sun Xuan...” Li Xunshan trailed off, but before he could finish, Wei Hai gave him a firm but not harsh slap on the shoulder.“You idiot! And…

As night fell, a solitary boat drifted on the Xiangjiang River.On the boat, Gu Ning'an and his three companions were sitting around a wooden table inside the boat's canopy.In front of each person was a small, earthy yellow bowl, filled with slightly yellowed brown rice porridge. Pieces of fish of varying sizes floated in the porridge, filling the air with a rich, savory aroma that lingered around everyone’s noses.The group didn’t speak much; each one used their bamboo chopsticks to eat the fish…

Who would’ve thought that this poetry conference wasn’t entirely a "child’s play" gathering? To think someone embodying immense righteous qi like that elder would attend.However, judging by the old man’s demeanor, he seemed more like a prominent figure disguising himself for a leisurely outing. Given the intensity of his righteous qi, every scholar and poet present should have revered him. How could they let him sit alone in a corner, quietly drinking tea?Gu Ning'an withdrew his gaze as Sun Xuan,…

"You kid, you're not even married yet, and you're already so afraid of your wife. If you actually get married, you'll be in for quite a ride!" Wei Hai laughed as he pointed toward Li Xunshan.Li Xunshan responded with a smile, "Being afraid of your wife is fine. There's no shame in it!"At this moment, the old beggar chimed in, "Speaking of which, Wei Hai, you've got a good situation, so why haven't you found yourself a wife?""You've even run a tavern before, so just drink a little less. Surely the money to…

It took Gu Ning'an an entire day to fully integrate the remaining three strands of Worldly Qi into the wooden sword.During this time, he repeatedly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his spiritual energy, to the point that the surrounding spiritual energy was nearly "exhausted" by the time he finished cultivating.Buzz!As he casually swung the wooden sword, a clear humming sound suddenly rang out.The wooden sword, now infused with six strands of Worldly Qi, emitted a faint…

"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…
