" You're a scoundrel, a scholar who only knows how to use such vulgar words to scold others. It's not what a gentleman should do. It's really a disgrace to the cultured world and a disgrace to the public…"
"If you have the ability, show us the strength of a scholar. Do you dare to compete with us in poetry? Three days later, we will wait for you at Emerald Jade Restaurant and have a showdown…"
The various restaurants, teahouses, and many scholars were refreshed by this rumor. Previously, Wen Ling and Li Han failed to write an article to criticize Wandering Know-it-all, but were angered to the point of vomiting blood by the latter's mere hundred words. It had not been long since a new wave had arisen.
This was a fight between scholars, which was quite rare. When scholars fought, their fighting power was not weak at all. Every word was critical, and an article could make people vomit blood. Now that they were going to fight again so soon, it immediately attracted the interest of many onlookers in Chang 'an.
Many restaurants, teahouses, and other places where people gathered for leisure were already filled with guests discussing this matter.
"The circle of scholars is indeed different. They start to tear each other apart without saying a word. Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng offended other scholars and got targeted?!”
" You don't understand. All of this is because the Emperor of Tang praised Bai Xiaosheng's 'Legend of the White Snake'. Who would have thought that when it spread to the circle of scholars, there would be trouble? This is a golden tongue. Bai Xiaosheng only wrote a novel and didn't write any poems. Naturally, many Confucian scholars and scholars were not convinced. Some wanted to step on him and make a name for themselves. Everyone knows what happened after that…"
A person beside him, who was wearing a handkerchief and dressed like a prince, also spoke softly. "I've also heard of it. It seems like this incident was caused by a few members of the Lin Yun Poetry Club. It seems like they wanted to vent their anger on Wen Ling and Li Han, and were prepared to show Wandering Know-it-all his might. They deliberately spread the news and created fishing boats to force Wandering Know-it-all to compete with them in poetry. They clearly saw that Wandering Know-it-all only knew how to write novels, and wanted to use poetry to bully him, using the strong to attack the weak.”
Hearing this, the other onlookers could not help but widen their eyes. They quickly understood the sinister nature of this matter and could not help but start discussing.
" These Confucians are really sinister. They say it's a competition of poems, but in fact, there are needles hidden in the cotton. If Wandering Know-it-all doesn't agree, his reputation will definitely be greatly damaged and he will end up with a timid reputation. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand in the world. If he agrees to the competition, it will be exactly what they want. This is a standard open scheme..."
After listening to the analysis, everyone present was also exceptionally curious about how this Wandering Know-it-all would deal with this battle. Would he avoid it? Still, he gladly accepted the challenge.
At the same time, Zhao Chen had also heard about the whole thing. He did not expect that after he had written a counter-attack that angered Wen Ling and Li Han, these two Confucian scholars, to the point of vomiting blood, these annoying Confucian scholars would still not give up. Now, he was actually preparing to make a fishing boat and invite him to compete in poetry?!
After thinking for a moment, he quickly understood that it was because the only novel he could take out was the Legend of the White Snake. These Confucian scholars must have thought that he only knew how to write novels and not poems, so they thought of this method.
In response, he almost couldn't help but sneer. Since they were jumping so happily, he didn't mind letting these guys know what it meant to stand on the shoulders of giants and let them see what it meant to shoot themselves in the foot.
He picked up the brush and wrote eight big words on the paper-" Frog at the bottom of the well, overestimating his own strength ". At the end, he wrote the pen name " Bai Xiaosheng ". Then, he tied the paper to the spiritual paper crane used by several major bookstores in Chang 'an. Spiritual Qi surged, and soon, the spiritual paper crane flapped its wings and flew out to the bookstores.
When the shopkeepers saw the note on the paper crane, they immediately understood that this was the reply of the All Knowing Scholar to the provocation of the Confucian scholars. They were instantly overjoyed. As the All Knowing Scholar who could bring them a large amount of money and profits, they naturally stood on his side. The interests of both sides were the same. The more famous the All Knowing Scholar was, the better the sales of the novel would be.
Immediately, the major bookstores copied the reply written by Wandering Know-it-all in large font and posted it at the entrance of the major bookstores and offline bookstores. The passers-by on the street could see it. When the onlookers in Chang 'an saw this, they were also dumbfounded. They never expected Wandering Know-it-all to reply in such a domineering manner, displaying the domineering arrogance and contempt of the Confucian scholar.
" This Wandering Know-it-all is really very confident. He didn't put the provocation of the Confucian scholar in his eyes at all..."
After the three Cheng brothers, who were the second generation heirs, heard this news, they could not help but laugh out loud. They said that Wandering Know-it-all was to their liking. If it was not for the fact that they did not know Zhao Chen's true identity, they would have long come to befriend him.
Very soon, the reply regarding the 'Wandering Know-it-all' quickly spread and reached the ears of Wen Ling, Li Han, and the members of the Spirit Rhyme Poetry Society.
Frog at the bottom of a well, overestimating his own strength?!
Wandering Know-it-all's reply instantly made Wen Ling, Li Han, and the members of the Spirit Rhyme Poetry Club so angry that their blood pressure rose and smoke seeped out of their orifices. One or two of them couldn't help but curse.
"Jian Zi, you're simply going too far!!”
"This Bai Xiaosheng is actually so arrogant! How preposterous…"
"I'm so angry! How dare you look down on us…"
