"I, I really can't write such a poem."
Amidst the chaos, Meng Yu stood up and let out a long sigh.
His gaze fell on Lin Che, and finally, he cupped his hands and said loudly:
"My Confucian lineage is eternal and everlasting. Today, it's my own skills that are inferior to yours, not Confucianism."
Meng Yu flicked his sleeves, left his seat and walked towards the door.
When the other students saw this, they all looked unhappy and walked towards the door.
They lost.
The two couplets at the door were enough to make them rack their brains.
Then a poem that was the greatest in history made them realize what was truly unattainable.
The two five-character verses pressed them to the ground.
These students all knew very well that even if they spent their entire lives, they would not be able to write such poems.
If that’s the case, why continue to suffer humiliation here?
"Why are you leaving? The competition isn't over yet."
Lin Che was stunned and quickly walked over to stop them.
It took a lot of effort to build such a big stage.
How much money has he made? Why are these people, who are easily provoked and taken advantage of, leaving?
"I have seven-character regulated verse, five-character quatrain, and seven-character quatrain to come. I haven't finished any of them yet. If you don't like poetry, I also have the greatest fu poem of all time."
Meng Yu's hands trembled as he glared at her. "Lin, we will remember today's humiliation! Humph!"
What's going on?
How is it humiliating?
That's not my intention. I simply want to make some money from you. As for humiliating you, I haven't even started yet.
As soon as Meng Yu left, more and more students were too embarrassed to stay.
Mo Zhaoxue and Gong Huachao also came over.
Gong Huachao bowed to Lin Che and said softly:
"Seeing Mr. Lin's poetry today has truly opened my eyes. It has also broken through the shackles that have troubled me for many years. I can't express my gratitude today, but I will definitely visit you another day."
Lin Che was not polite at all and said, "If you want to thank me, just give me money."
Gong Huachao's expression froze. She often went in and out of the homes of the powerful and wealthy, and had encountered all kinds of situations. Now she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Mr. Lin, you're such a jokester. For a man of such talent like Mr. Lin, pursuing fame and fortune is definitely not your intention."
"Haha, you'll know later."
At this moment, Mo Zhaoxue, who was standing nearby, spoke up with a resentful expression, "Lin Che, tell me honestly. Where did you get these poems?"
"you guess!"
"Since you've already made preparations, why bother embarrassing so many of my fellow apprentices? From my impression, you're not a money-grubber. You've been in the spotlight today. Can I take these banknotes back and return them to them?"
As Mo Zhaoxue spoke, his eyes turned red and he looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
OK.
Damn green tea!
I risked my life to earn the money, and you want to take it back with just one sentence?
Who gave you such a big face?
If you bring the money back, you'll earn enough favor, right?
The moment you entered Zuiyue Tower with your fellow disciples, you had already imagined that I would be humiliated by being stepped underfoot by all the students.
But you still came with people.
Why are you still pretending now?
Lin Che also said seriously, "Zhaoxue, didn't you say that? They're all stupid people with a lot of money. If we can get their money back, it will be ours. Don't worry, after we get married, this money should be enough for our expenses."
The students saw this and looked at each other with strange expressions.
What's going on? Are they colluding?
"You...what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say that. Who told you to cheat them out of their money?"
Mo Zhaoxue's defenses immediately broke down, and she gritted her teeth and continued, "Also, you're such a person. I will never marry someone like you. Just give up on this idea."
Lin Che didn't indulge her at all, and immediately said loudly:
"That's perfect. I don't want to marry someone like you either."
"I am the Earl of Jing'an, personally conferred by His Majesty. I have served the great cause for ten years with unwavering loyalty. What title do you hold? What contributions have you made to the cause? Even poetry and songwriting are inferior to mine. People like you are not worthy of me."
Mo Zhaoxue was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You, you..."
"What do you mean? I earned this money at the cost of ruining my reputation, how dare you ask for it back?"
"If you want to go back, that's fine. Didn't you just share the hardships with your fellow disciples? You only took out a thousand taels of silver. Do you really have no extra silver on you? Then, take out your purse and show it to everyone. If you really have no money left, I can return these hundreds of thousands of taels to them."
Lin Che's words immediately made all the students stop in their tracks.
They just emptied their money. If they could get it back, that would be the best.
So all of a sudden, all eyes fell on Mo Zhaoxue.
Mo Zhaoxue stood there in a daze, his expression extremely grim, not daring to speak at all.
Lin Che just watched quietly. He had just noticed that when Mo Zhaoxue took out the 1,000 taels of silver note, he was clearly making some small movements and did not take out all the money.
Moreover, in Lin Che's memory, Mo Zhaoxue was a real rich girl who had always carried huge sums of money with her since she was a child.
How could she only bring a thousand taels? This is Zuiyue Tower. She spent three days preparing, and she only brought a thousand taels?
"Senior Sister, take it out and let us see. Our money is nothing, but Senior Brother Meng Yu paid 300,000."
When the student next to her spoke, Mo Zhaoxue became even more anxious. She blushed and said:
