They were so powerful! Pu Wenrui was really impressed by these two people. It wasn’t too unfair for him to lose to them.
"The moon is dark in the bamboo pavilion, and the fireflies flicker against the mat."
Tong Yun's face became paler and paler, and she looked like she was about to collapse.
But even so, she still held on, staring at Pei Zun and saying the next sentence.
Pei Zun opened his mouth and raised his hands helplessly, "Lady Goddess, Pei Zun admits defeat."
“Wow!”
The crowd in the hall was in an uproar. They never expected that the new top scholar, who was the focus of everyone's attention, would actually lose.
Pei Zun felt very sorry to admit defeat like this. If he could quote other people's poems, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
But impromptu poetry writing was his weakest area, and the fact that he had been able to persist until now was far beyond his expectations.
Pei Zun gave a bitter smile. He was ready to be laughed at by his colleagues when he returned. As the newly crowned top scholar, he actually lost to two girls. It would be laughable if he told others about it.

Ye Xin shot a beam of white light towards the light curtain, and the names of the two winners magnified and flew out of the light curtain.
"The winners of this poetry competition are these two girls. Congratulations."
Lin Jinxia and Tong Yun reacted quickly and knelt on the ground to express their gratitude. "Thank you, Goddess, for your great kindness. Lin Jinxia/Tong Yun are deeply grateful."
After the two men bowed to Ye Xin, they walked up to Yu Churan amid the jealous gazes of the crowd.
Yu Churan was sincerely happy for their victory. With Ye Xin's approval, he carefully opened the jade bottle, poured out two black pills from it and put them into the wooden box.
Although the two pills only appeared for a brief moment, everyone could smell the fragrance of medicine in the room.
But I don’t know if it’s their illusion, but I always feel that the goddess’s elixir has a burnt smell.
