As Luo Jingwei commented, Ye Chen's expression grew increasingly grim.
It was a fair judgment, yet it was like a series of swords piercing Ye Chen's heart, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Then, Luo Jingwei added, "Master Ye, please don't be angry. I'm just straightforward and say what I think. This is an objective assessment, and I hope Young Master Ye will forgive me for any offense!"
Please forgive me!
Ye Chen found it amusing. They belittled his own poetry to the point of worthlessness, and yet they dared to ask for his forgiveness?!
He strongly suspected that this man named Luo Jingwei had been bribed by Du Dafu.
If it weren't for that, they would never have said such a thing.
Ye Chen then looked at another storyteller and asked, "Wang Situ, what do you think of my poem?"
Wang Situ was greatly surprised, and then said, "Talented Ye, I agree with Mr. Luo's opinion. 'Love Dream' is not as good as 'Untitled'."
"Comparing 'Love Dreams' to 'Untitled' is like an ant trying to shake a tree!"
An ant trying to shake a tree?
Ye Chen's body trembled again, and he almost vomited blood.
But he also realized that Wang Situ had held back.
Because the following sentence should be "ridiculous and overestimating himself"!
However, Ye Chen was not giving up and looked in the direction of the beaded curtain again.
He couldn't see the person behind the beaded curtain, but he still spoke up: "Your Majesty, what is your opinion?"
Lin Shiyu was surprised, but said in a soft voice, "Master Ye, my opinion is the same as that of the two critics."
What?
Ye Chen's body trembled violently.
He was furious, and his defiant expression was written all over his face.
Those around them, witnessing this scene, began to whisper among themselves.
"What's wrong with Ye Xiaofan? He looks so angry. Is he a sore loser?"
"In my opinion, he's just a sore loser."
"He got furious when he couldn't compare to Du Dafu in poetry!"
"Judging from this, Ye Xiaofan's temperament is quite ordinary!"
"Not just average, it's absolutely terrible..."
A series of sounds rang out.
Behind the beaded curtain, Queen Lin Shiyu also showed a look of surprise.
Ye Chen almost vomited blood.
He trembled, wanting to explode in anger, but he knew that would be nothing more than impotent rage.
Moreover, he not only wanted to win first place in the poetry competition.
He also needs to win the heart of Queen Lin Shiyu, and then possess her body. He then needs to use the power of the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore to take revenge on his despicable senior brother. He absolutely does not want to lose more than he gains!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger that was about to erupt.
Then, he declared confidently, "Gentlemen, don't underestimate me, Ye. Am I that kind of person?"
"Since Her Majesty and the two critics all agree that my 'Love Dream' is inferior to 'Untitled,' I... accept this result!"
"To be honest, it's not that I'm less skilled than others, but I underestimated this poem, 'Untitled'."
"There are still two rounds left, and I, Ye, will not lose again!"
After saying that, Ye Chen looked in Gu Jian's direction and said, "Du Dafu, next, I, Ye Xiaofan, will definitely defeat you."
A smile appeared on Gu Jian's face. Ye Chen was the kind of person who was stubborn to the end.
Ye Chen wanted to show his skills in the next two rounds.
But Gu Jian didn't mind teasing him again.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Ye Xiaofan is indeed courageous and resilient, but it's impossible for him to defeat me."
"you!"
Ye Chen was taken aback and said, "I advise you not to be arrogant."
Gu Jian smiled slightly and said, "I am the Sage of Poetry, so what if I'm a little arrogant? If you have the ability, you can be arrogant too."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen trembled with anger.
Behind the beaded curtain, Queen Lin Shiyu was surprised, sensing that Du Dafu and Ye Xiaofan did not get along.
However, she greatly admired Du Dafu's confidence and talent.
He called himself the Sage of Poetry, which seemed arrogant, but he was indeed very talented.
The Flower King was also very unhappy and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Xiaofan, this Du Dafu is a bit arrogant, but I believe in your strength. You will definitely be able to beat him in the next round!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen almost burst into tears.
The Queen of Flowers actually trusted him so much.
"knew."
Ye Chen nodded, indicating that he would definitely kill the other party later.
After consulting with Lin Shiyu, Luo Jingwei announced the results of the first round.
"The poetry competition consists of three rounds. In the first round, Du Dafu came in first; Ye Xiaofan came in second; the third prince of the Demon Dragon Kingdom came in third. The remaining talented scholars who abstained tied for fourth place."
"Everyone, please take a short rest. After an incense stick has burned, we will begin the second round of the poetry competition."
As the sound faded, one after another, enchantresses from the otherworldly demon kingdom came from outside and began to dance in the hall of the poetry gathering.
The dance was so elegant and captivating that it made some gentlemen widen their eyes, indicating that they were simply offering serious criticism.
These enchantresses were so beautiful, yet they were merely maids from the Rain King's mansion.
These gentlemen couldn't help but imagine just how beautiful Queen Lin Shiyu really was.
She must be a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, a beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities.
No……
These words probably cannot describe her beauty.
There are also some people who are seriously studying the current situation.
"Du Dafu is currently in first place in the first round. If he wins first place again in the second round, will he have secured first place in the poetry competition?"
"If that's the case, then that's for sure. With his skill level, he won't falter too much in the final round."
"However, it will be quite difficult for him to win first place again in the second round. After all, a poem like 'Untitled' is not something that can be written just because you want to."
