"It's just a friendly sparring match between us, why are you being so aggressive!"
Mu Zian sneered upon hearing this.
"He who insults others will always be insulted in return!"
"If you can't stand it, then you should go back to Zhao as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, a burst of cheers erupted within the hall.
"The Duke of Zhenguo is mighty!"
"The Duke of Zhenguo truly deserves to be called the pillar of our Great Li! We admire him!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiuning, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Hearing the cheers from all around, the Zhao students felt a little embarrassed and immediately pretended to be calm.
"We haven't lost yet! The Duke of Zhenguo has only come up with a matching couplet!"

"The fire is making tea, and the tea is boiling in the cauldron, and the tongues are buzzing!"
"Clear spring water washes bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots sink to the bottom of the ravine, where dragon offspring swim!"
"White birds forget their hunger, letting the clouds come and go among the trees!"
"The green hills are silent, watching the world's flowers bloom and fade, fade and bloom!"
Three pairs in one line! Each pair is exquisite!
Lu Ling felt everything go black before her eyes and she collapsed to the ground!
The remaining Confucian scholars from Zhao were greatly surprised upon seeing this.
"Brother Lu! Are you alright?"
Mu Zian shook his head helplessly and said.
"I haven't even used any force, how come you've already collapsed?"
