Chapter 178: Chapter 178 - 79: As Likely as a Rooster Laying Eggs

The elder with the last name Yu smiled slightly, "What could be inappropriate? After all, among us old folks, I’m the most famous. Even if you all compete, you might not surpass me. Otherwise, let’s all visit that young fellow and see whom he chooses as his mentor."

The others: "..."

Seeing the country’s most renowned scholars quarreling over a disciple, Lord Sacrificial Officer was both amused and exasperated. Just as he was about to fulfill their wishes and end the banquet, he saw a graceful, lively, and exceptionally beautiful white figure approaching.

’Hiss!’

That figure instantly captured everyone’s attention, and a collective gasp could be heard throughout the venue.

"Lord Sacrificial Officer, this insignificant girl, having listened to the excellent works of many talented men and beauties, dares to come forward to make a fool of herself. I hope Lord Sacrificial Officer will grant me an opportunity."

These words caused an immediate commotion in the venue, with everyone staring in shock and disbelief.

"Wait, are my ears malfunctioning? Did I just hear the notorious idiot wants to compose a poem? Is she here to cause trouble?"

"Tsk, what a sight! The Su Family’s legitimate daughter, known for her stupidity throughout Haojing, wants to compose a poem. Is it her outfit today that gave her such confidence? Does she think that just because she looks decent, she can compose poetry?"

"Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! Su Qianxue, the idiot, is going up to compose a poem. Hahaha, I can’t handle it! Later, I need to check if a sow climbed a tree somewhere."

"Isn’t she the one who, just two years ago at the winter banquet, ’made a fool of herself’? She promised to compete with Jiang in music, only to play something so awful it sounded like crap, yet she was so pleased with herself, thinking she played exceptionally well."

"Exactly, and now, only two years later, Su Qianxue is back to forget the pain once the scar healed and make a fool of herself again? I really want to see what she can come up with—it surely can’t be scarier than the music she played in her previous competition."

"Hahaha, I’d sooner believe a rooster lays eggs than Su Qianxue composing poetry..."

"..."

Moments later, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, with various mockeries sounding one after another.

Su Qianxue turned around, her gaze sweeping over everyone with somber contempt, a cold sneer hidden in her heart.

Ha, laugh, go on and laugh all you want. The harder they laugh now, the more they’ll be startled later.

[Alas, these noble young men and women are truly young and lack composure when faced with situations.]

[Mocking the protagonist now, truly too early; won’t they be slapped in the face later?]

[Luckily, the protagonist was eager to prove herself and didn’t propose any bets. If she had bet she could compose a poem to make those who belittle her eat shit, none of these people would escape.]

[Even without being so ruthless, a simple wager could make a fortune.]

[Oh man, how did I miss such a big business opportunity? So unfortunate! If I could speak, I’d place a betting stall right now and surely win all the noble young men and women’s underpants today.]

[Ahhh, why let me witness such a big business opportunity yet watch it slip away? Heaven, you’re too cruel to me, you know?]

[Silver, it’s all shining silver!]

Personally witnessing all this, Yun Wanqing ranted wildly in her heart, but realizing she missed such a large business opportunity due to her inability to speak, she was instantly heartbroken, almost causing Yun Wanye to lose his composure on the spot.

What eat shit?

What win all the underpants?

Sister, could you please be a bit more reserved when speaking, not more bold than me?

Fortunately, she can’t speak right now, or outsiders wouldn’t know how to mock the Duke Ning Mansion.

And sister, how do you manage to think about making silver on every occasion? Truly a little money-grubber.

On the other side, Mo Zhaozhao disdainedly looked at the woman on stage, sneered, and scoffed.

"Ah Yao, what do you think Su Qianxue is thinking? Didn’t she learn from the last embarrassment? How can she go up and embarrass herself again?"

Hearing this, Yun Wanyao felt even more strained in her heart. Silly Princess, this Su Qianxue is not the same one from two years ago.

She can truly compose poetry that blinds everyone.

But she can’t possibly say that; even if she did, no one would believe her. Didn’t you see the uproarious laughter when Su Qianxue went on stage?

"I don’t know either, but I think it’s best not to jump to conclusions too early; let’s just wait and see."
