"Anything is fine?"
"Anything related to literature and literature is fine," Ye Qiu said confidently.
With half of the history of Chinese literature in his head, he refused to believe he would stumble.
Unless Zhou Taiqing is also a time traveler, Ye Qiu is confident that he can easily conquer Zhou Taiqing.
It's obvious that Zhou Taiqing couldn't possibly be from the other side of the world like him.
Ye Qiu suspected that he was the first Blue Star person in history to come to the Tianxing Realm.
Seeing Ye Qiu's confidence, Zhou Taiqing immediately said, "I've heard that Mr. Ye can compose poems on the spot. Let's test Mr. Ye's poetic talent first. What do you think, Mr. Ye?"
"Okay." Ye Qiu nodded.
"Alright." Zhou Taiqing smiled and pondered for a moment before saying, "The question I posed might be a bit tricky. Mr. Ye, please look at the edge of the training ground. What kind of flower is that?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu glanced at it and smiled, "Plum blossom."
“Yes, it is indeed plum blossom,” Zhou Taiqing said. “Then please, Mr. Ye, compose a poem combining plum blossoms with the cold snow.”
As soon as Zhou Taiqing finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, everyone staring at Ye Qiu, waiting for his response.
Ye Qiu closed his eyes to think; this was not difficult for him.
Because many appropriate poems immediately came to mind.
Zhou Taiqing calmly replied, "Mr. Ye, there's no need to rush. We'll give you plenty of time to think."
"No need, I've already thought it through." Ye Qiu read it aloud:
"Several plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold."
I know from afar it is not snow, for there is a faint fragrance in the air.
The poem is titled "Plum Blossom."
"Excellent, excellent poem!" Li Yuanxiu clapped his hands excitedly. "Mr. Ye truly deserves to be called the new king of literature. This poem is wonderful."
“The poem is indeed excellent.” Zhou Taiqing couldn’t refute it; he couldn’t find any fault with it.
But Zhou Taiqing had other intentions when he came to power.
Therefore, even if he acknowledged in his heart that the poem was excellent, he could not say it was good.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Taiqing said seriously, "Mr. Ye, the poem doesn't quite capture the spirit of the plum blossom. Could you perhaps write another one?"
Wow.
As soon as Zhou Taiqing finished speaking, many people felt dissatisfied with this senior figure in the literary world.
"Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?"
How could this be?
"This poem is clearly very good, why is Elder Zhou deliberately making things difficult for me?"
One after another, puzzled voices arose.
But at the same time, voices questioning Ye Qiu also erupted.
"He did this so quickly that it's hard not to suspect that he had planned this all along."
"Exactly, unless he writes another one."
"Sing one more song, otherwise it won't be convincing."
The sound was like popping beans, crackling and popping.
Seeing this, Zhou Taiqing was very satisfied, but he smiled calmly and asked Ye Qiu, "Mr. Ye, you see everyone is so enthusiastic. What do you say? If it doesn't work, I can help you explain. After all, even geniuses are human. It is indeed difficult to compose two poems in a short period of time."
"It's not difficult at all," Ye Qiu said with a smile. "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, then so be it..."
