"How does it compare to 'Untitled'? Isn't it a hundred times better?"
Ye Chen spoke, addressing the young master with kidney deficiency.
When he finished speaking.
He gave Gu Jian another provocative look.
Gu Jian was slightly taken aback. His good junior brother really wanted to compete for first place.
His competitive spirit is exceptionally strong.
The young master, whose face was excessively pale, seemingly due to excessive indulgence, was slightly taken aback.
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Young Master with Kidney Deficiency, why aren't you answering me? Didn't you hear what I said?"
The young master with kidney deficiency shook his head and said, "No, Brother Ye, I heard it. But I must have misheard. Brother Ye, what did you just say? Could you repeat it?"
Ye Chen frowned, wondering if this young master with kidney deficiency was deaf.
Then, to his surprise, he discovered that, apart from the young master with kidney deficiency, everyone else seemed to be thinking that they had misheard.
Ye Chen was immediately annoyed, but he still said again, "I mean, isn't my poem 'Love Dream' a hundred times better than 'Untitled'?"
The young master with kidney deficiency gasped, his eyes widening, and then burst out laughing.
"Ye Xiaofan, I thought I misheard. I can't believe it! You actually said your 'Love Dream' is a hundred times better than 'Untitled'. Your confidence... no, it's arrogance... no, even an arrogant person wouldn't say something like that. You're simply insane!"
"Ye Xiaofan, I only laugh at others when I can't help it. This is just too funny. Hahaha..."
Upon hearing the words of the young master with kidney deficiency, everyone in the Immortal Phoenix Pavilion burst into laughter.
Ye Xiaofan does have some skill, but unfortunately he lacks self-awareness and has become a laughing stock.
The talented men present also spoke up.
"Ye Xiaofan, you actually think that this 'Love Dream' is a hundred times better than 'Untitled'?"
"Ye Xiaofan, are you joking?"
"..."
"Ye Xiaofan, you're so funny! You hit the nail on the head. I'm dying of laughter!"
"..."
A burst of laughter rang out.
Ye Chen was stunned.
Are all these people laughing at him?
Ye Chen couldn't help but show his anger, saying, "What are you saying? Even if it's not a hundred times, it must be ten times, right?!"
The young master with kidney deficiency was slightly taken aback.
The talented men present were slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Ye Xiaofan, are you out of your mind?"
"You actually said that your 'Love Dream' is ten times better than 'Untitled'!"
"Ye Xiaofan, how could a poem like 'Love Dream' possibly be ten times better than 'Untitled'?"
"Without a doubt, Ye Xiaofan must have lost his mind, otherwise he would never have said such a thing."
"good……"
"..."
A series of sounds rang out, and Ye Chen looked extremely ugly.
He felt utterly humiliated, but he was still unwilling to give up. He clenched his fist and said again, "Well, it must be one or two times better, right?!"
One or two times?
Everyone was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
The four great scholars, known for their lewdness in the east, vulgarity in the west, lust in the south, and debauchery in the north, could no longer stand by and watch.
Dong Yin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye, what kind of dream are you having in broad daylight!"
"This song, 'Love Dream,' is not bad, but it's just not bad. With my skill level, I could have written it in a few days."
"But I'm afraid I couldn't write a poem like 'Untitled' even if I had a lifetime."
Xi Jian Ximen Qin couldn't help but speak up, laughing, "My elder brother is right, that's the difference. But he actually said it's better than 'Untitled,' that's too arrogant, just ignorant."
Nan Se Nan You Ji laughed and said, "Don't take it seriously, everyone. I think the atmosphere was just too tense. So Brother Ye told a joke to lighten the mood for us."
Brother Ye, you truly are a talent! That joke is hilarious. Haha…”
Bei Dang Bei Wukun said, "Compared to finding it funny, I feel more sympathy. Please don't laugh at Brother Ye. Perhaps Brother Ye's head got caught in a door when he was a child, and it's damaged..."
"Brother Beidang, are you sure it's a door panel? And not that smooth thing?"
"..."
As the voices of the talented scholars faded, Ye Chen felt as if an arrow had struck his chest!
The feeling of anger almost made him lose his mind.
He gritted his teeth, but as the chosen one, Ye Chen would not easily admit defeat.
Not only that, he also felt that these people were deliberately suppressing him and helping Du Dafu to suppress him.
Ye Chen glanced angrily at the crowd, memorizing their faces. Then he turned to Queen Lin Shiyu and said, "Queen Shiyu, I do not believe that my poem is inferior to 'Untitled.' I beg Queen Shiyu to make a fair judgment."
Behind the beaded curtain, Queen Lin Shiyu was surprised to hear this.
Along with surprise, there was also sympathy.
In Queen Lin Shiyu's view, every poem that is destined to be remembered for generations has its own soul.
She called it the soul of poetry.
Because of its poetic spirit, poetry is more likely to touch people's hearts.
It can also resonate with people!
Just like this poem, "Untitled".
From this poem, "Untitled," she sensed its poetic soul, which was filled with sorrow.
Through this atmosphere, she also saw a sad world.
The protagonist lives in this sad world.
Ye Xiaofan's poems appear to have beautiful language and artistic conception, but they absolutely lack poetic soul.
In addition, the story it tells is rather old-fashioned and lacks originality.
It is even less likely to touch people's hearts.
It is naturally incomparable to "Untitled".
However, Lin Shiyu did not express it directly. Instead, she looked at a poetry critic in the room and said, "Mr. Luo, since that's the case, why don't you read and appreciate this poem, 'Love Dream'?"
