" Miss Xiao, you flatter me..." Feng Qi felt guilty. She did not know how to write poetry. She had only stolen the poem " Snow Plum " by Lu Meipo, a poet of the Song Dynasty. It was not her true talent.
However, this was the only way to save Lin Yu, because the poem he composed had to satisfy everyone present, especially the Fourth Prince. Feng Qi had no choice but to do this. I hope that the great poet Lu will not blame me…
" Young Master Zhen, you're a real person. You just said that you don't know how to write poetry, but now you're even better than us…" Crown Prince Huangpu Cheng De said.
"I really didn't expect you to have such literary talent.”The Fourth Prince, Huangpu Chaozong, said in a disapproving tone.
Huangpu Chaozong recalled that he had called this person an idiot before, and now he had written such an amazing poem for him.
"Now that I've finished writing my poem, are you satisfied?”Feng Qi stared at Huangpu Chaozong's group with bright eyes.
"Even the number one talented woman in the capital praised your poem, so it's naturally very satisfying.”Yun Huaiyi said.
"Your Highness?" Most importantly, Huangpu Chaozong had to be satisfied.
" En, very good…" Since everyone had agreed, it was impossible for him to lie through his teeth. He nodded reluctantly. If he couldn't get these two women today, he had to think of other ways.
"That's good. Zhen Feng thanks Your Highness for your magnanimity. He hoped that His Highness would not pursue Lin Yu's mistake today.”Feng Qi said," I suddenly remembered that I still have things to deal with at home, so I'll take my leave first."”
What Feng Qi wanted to do the most now was to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible. If she stayed any longer, who knew what accidents would happen? It was a mistake to come to this poetry gathering today.
"Young master Zhen left so early! Today's highlight hadn't even started yet. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it!”Yun Huai also tried to persuade Feng Qi to stay.
"I really have something important to do. I thank you for your hospitality. " Farewell…" Feng Qi rejected Yun Huaiyi's suggestion and turned around to lead Lin Yu and Biyue towards the exit of the tea garden. She didn't want to stay in this broken place anymore, especially when there was a pervert like Huangpu Chaozong eyeing her maidservant covetously. It made her very unhappy.
The Crown Prince and the others looked at Feng Qi's departing figure and sighed. There was pity and anger. The Second Princess and Xiao Xiahan were probably the angriest. The Second Princess glared at Huangpu Chaozong without saying anything, but it made the Fourth Prince feel an invisible pressure. Xiao Xiahan frowned. Why did this youth leave so quickly? She had wanted to drink more to discuss the artistic conception of this poem, but she was interrupted by the Fourth Prince.
Tsk! Isn't he just a commoner? Is there a need to be like this? Huangpu Chaozong pursed his lips unhappily.
"Oh right, Xia Han, you haven't said anything about your masterpiece!”the Second Princess said.
"Originally, I also chose plum blossoms as the theme, but after reading your poem, I feel that my poem is not as good as one of them, so I won't say it out loud. Even if I say it out loud, it can't compare to the artistic conception of your poem.”Xiao Xiahan admitted that her poem was no match for Feng Qi's, so she honestly gave up." Young Master Zhen's poem has written the plum blossoms and snow in the cold winter, especially the last two lines. The plum beard is less white than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum. It's written very vividly. I reckon that in this year's poetry competition, it should be difficult to surpass him in the two topics of plum blossom and snow. The others can only work hard on the moon.”
"Is this poem really that powerful?”The Second Princess Huangpu Ling 'er knew that the depth of this poem was indeed much higher than everyone else's works, but Xiao Xiahan's words were too exaggerated.
"Yes. "No, I have to hurry back and tell my father about this good poem…Your Highnesses, I'll go back first…" Before anyone could respond, Xiao Xiahan left in a hurry.
Not long after Xiao Xiahan left, the Third Prince, Huangpu Chenghong, also found an excuse to leave…One by one, they left, causing the remaining people to lose their interest. There was no more excitement from before…
" Young Master, the Fourth Prince's gaze was really scary…" Lin Yu patted her chest and said with lingering fear.
"You still know how to be afraid! "Young Master, I thought you weren't afraid of anything. How dare you shout at the Fourth Prince so loudly…" Feng Qi said.
"I'm just feeling injustice for you, Young Master! Young Master, you are so smart. I think that Fourth Prince is the idiot!”Lin Yu was furious when she thought of the Fourth Prince's arrogant appearance.
"I know you're feeling wronged on behalf of your Young Master, but the Fourth Prince is the Fourth Prince after all. He's not someone commoners like us can casually offend. He couldn't say what he said just now outside anymore. It didn't hurt to say it at home.”Feng Qi didn't order Lin Yu not to say it, but only asked her to pay attention to the occasion.
" Got it. I will be careful. I promise I won't cause any trouble for you next time…" Lin Yu stuck out her tongue mischievously. She knew that she had been too impulsive this time and caused a lot of trouble for Miss. She felt a little guilty.
"It's good that you can remember it…Also, Lin Yubiyue, from today onwards, it's best that you don't go out alone. When you go out, bring a few more people who know martial arts with you, especially you, Lin Yu. I'm worried that the Fourth Prince won't let us off so easily.”Feng Qi warned.
"Biyue understands." Martial artists had more sensitive senses than ordinary people, Biyue also noticed the Fourth Prince's dirty thoughts and understood what his master was worried about.
"Linyu will be careful." Lin Yu nodded obediently.
The next day after the poetry competition ended, Feng Qi's " Snow Plum " spread throughout the capital. It was hailed as the best poem of this year's poetry competition. Even Grand Tutor Xiao was full of praise after reading it. This time, the fake name Zhen Feng was known to the world. Many people were inquiring about Zhen Feng's whereabouts and where to find him. They all wanted to spar with him. They believed that it wouldn't be long before someone found out where Feng Qi was staying.
" You've come…" After the poetry gathering, Feng Qi had not seen Ye Qiannan for a few days. However, when Feng Qi learned that Ye Qiannan was not going to the poetry gathering, she instructed Feng Ying to go to 'Pan's Gate' and arrange another time with Ye Qiannan to discuss the matter of the gu poison.
" Feng 'er, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you've already become a household name…" Ye Qiannan teased Feng Qi with a smile.
"Hey, don't you think I'm annoying enough? Why did you mention this?”Feng Qi said angrily," Let's not talk about this for now. Qiannan, I'm sure Feng Ying has already told you the reason why I asked you to come here a few days ago."”
"Yes, I know." The gu poison in his body had been pestering him for decades, so he wasn't in a hurry. Ye Qiannan replied indifferently.
"Maiden Feng, have you found a way to remove the voodoo?”As long as the poison in Master's body was not cured, Dongfang Li would have to worry about Master's health.
Dongfang Li was especially polite to Feng Qi today. He had even addressed her respectfully. In the past, he had always called her by her name. But why did this title sound so awkward... Maiden Feng... It sounded like " crazy girl ". Those who didn't know better would think that she was a lunatic. Thinking of this, Feng Qi's head was covered in sweat.
" Dongfang, you can just call me Feng Qi or Lord Zhen. Maiden Feng sounds really awkward..." Feng Qi said.
"Why?" Dongfang Li asked in confusion.
"It just doesn't sound good!" Feng Qi was speechless. Dongfang Li's reaction was really slow. He didn't even notice it.
" Maiden Feng, isn't that nice…Hahaha…" Dongfang Li suddenly thought of something and laughed." Sigh, I finally know why you don't like me calling you that, hahaha…"
" It's good that you know. Stop laughing…" Feng Qi rolled her eyes at Dongfang Li, who was laughing so hard that he was having a headache.
" Yes, yes, I won't call you 'Crazy, Aunt, Mother' next time..." Dongfang Li said repeatedly.
"... I've found a way to cure the gu, but I still need one more thing to make the antidote..." Feng Qi ignored Dongfang Li's joke and said seriously.
Feng Qi now had the Jade Congealing Pill that could restrain the Gu poison, but she still needed something to help Ye Qiannan escape from the sea of suffering. However, this thing…
"What else is missing? I, Dongfang Li, will find it no matter what!”Dongfang Li saw that Feng Qi had started to talk about serious matters, so he immediately put away the smile on his face and said firmly.
" Actually, it's hard to find such a thing…No, it should be said that we don't know if such a thing really exists in this world…" Feng Qi was a little troubled. She didn't know if she should tell these two people about this illusory thing. She was afraid that it would bring hope to Ye Qiannan, but she would personally extinguish it.
Feng Qi had been hesitating about whether to tell Ye Qiannan about it since she had obtained the Jade Congealing Pill. The probability of success was too small, not even one percent. That was why she hadn't asked Ye Qiannan to discuss the matter of the gu poison. However, if she didn't tell him, Ye Qiannan's gu poison would be incurable. Feng Qi decided to take a gamble. He couldn't give up just because there was little hope.
" Feng 'er, just say it. You don't have to worry that I won't be able to take it…" Ye Qiannan looked at Feng Qi gently, giving her an encouraging look.
"... It's the blood of an ink fox..." Feng Qi said an answer that even she didn't believe.
"Ink Fox? Isn't that the legendary divine beast?" Ye Qiannan vaguely remembered that he had read about the ink fox in a book before. However, he only remembered that the ink fox was an extinct divine beast. He could not remember the other details clearly. He also did not expect that the blood of the ink fox could cure the voodoo in his body.
"Ever since I found out that Qian Nan was poisoned by the voodoo, I went to look up many ancient books about voodoo. Finally, he found out in an ancient book that the combination of the Congealed Jade Grass and the blood of the ink fox could remove any poison, including the voodoo.”Feng Qi recalled what she had read in the ancient book." The book records that the ink fox is a spirit fox among the divine beasts. The blood of the ink fox can cure all kinds of poisons, including the poison of Gu worms. In other words, as long as one consumed the blood of the ink fox, one could be said to be immune to all poisons. However, the ink fox had disappeared from the world a thousand years ago. No one had ever seen the ink fox again. There were even rumors that the ink fox had gone extinct.”
"Then what should we do? After hearing what you said, it's the same as not having the antidote. The ink foxes are extinct, where else can we find it!”Dongfang Li's excitement and joy fell to the bottom of the abyss.
"Sigh, we can only take it one step at a time. Although ten people say that the ink fox is extinct, I found out from a biography that the ink fox might still exist in the world, but it's just hiding.”Feng Qi said.
