In the crowd, Sun Yushi looked serious and shouted loudly, "My disciple's bow was impeccable!"

Bian Liang saw this and quickly followed suit: "Welcome Elder Ji!"

"Welcome Elder Ji!"

For a moment, the cheers were deafening, and everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, fearing that Ji Shulin couldn't hear their voices.

In comparison, a little girl in the crowd holding drawing paper seemed a little panicked. She quickly put down the drawing paper and followed the surrounding monks to welcome Ji Shulin.

Yang Zhen looked at her in surprise, and it turned out to be Tian Rou, the little girl with a sweet smile.

Tian Rou looked embarrassed at this moment. She wanted to put down her raised hands and looked at the drawing paper beside her with some worry, but she didn't dare to.

Now that everyone around her was welcoming her, how could a little girl like her do such an outrageous thing? For a moment, her troubled little face was filled with embarrassment.

Yang Zhen found it very interesting. He glanced at the scroll and was immediately surprised and became very interested.

There was actually a hint of talent coming from that scroll, but it was a little weak, and it seemed unfinished.

After Ji Shulin landed, he nodded and said, "Today's Wenhua affairs are under the jurisdiction of this old man. You can do whatever you want. But those who understand it may enter the Sea Tower and can also follow me to Turtle Snake Island."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted and hurriedly said yes.

Ji Shulin set his eyes on Sun Yushi and Bian Liang, smiled and nodded, then walked to the entrance of the sea tower and sat on the high seat.

Sun Yushi's face flashed with a hint of satisfaction. He walked to Bian Liang and said to everyone, "Everyone, I am not talented, but I would like to throw out some ideas to inspire others. Is there any Taoist friend who would like to compete with me today?"

Everyone was shocked and shook their heads.

Sun Yushi was extremely talented, especially in painting, and even the Queen of Shuiling State praised him highly. Who would want to compete with him? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable? Now it was called the Wenhua Association, but everyone present knew that the leader of Wenhua was definitely between Sun Yushi and Bian Liang. No one wanted to embarrass this person in front of Elder Ji, so they simply sat alone in their seats and immersed themselves in comprehending their own works.

Bian Liang was the most talented disciple of the Shujian Sect. How could he let Sun Yushi take the lead? He chuckled and said, "I've heard that Brother Sun is very accomplished in calligraphy and painting. Why don't we have a competition here, and let the Taoist friends present be fair and Elder Ji make the decision?"

When everyone heard this, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Bian Liang and Sun Yushi with excitement.

The two men were like fire and water, so a big match was inevitable, of course.

Sun Yushi laughed loudly and said loudly: "That's exactly what I meant!"

After saying that, Sun Yushi turned to face Ji Shulin and said respectfully, "Elder Ji, please give me this opportunity!"

Ji Shulin nodded, stood up from the high seat, and said: "Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Since the two of you are willing to compete, then I will make this judgment!"

Bian Liang and Sun Yushi smiled at each other and moved almost at the same time.

The wolf-hair pens in the hands of the two men flashed, a ray of light lit up, and they looked at each other in surprise.

“It’s actually a magic weapon. These… the Langhao pens in the hands of these two people are actually four-star magic weapons. It’s really a big deal!”

"It's going to be really exciting this time. I can actually see a fight between two four-star magic weapons."

"Who do you think will win?"

"Without a competition, we naturally cannot tell who is better. However, Bian Liang has a lot of talent but keeps a low profile, while Sun Yushi studies literature hard but shows off his style. Between the two, Bian Liang seems to be more profound!"

…

Everyone was talking about it, and they all supported the two of them. Some had their own opinions, and each had their own basis for judgment, and the argument continued for a while.

At this time, a somewhat inappropriate voice suddenly sounded: "Come on, come on, bet on it. The number one scholar of Shuiling Country is extremely talented, and the genius of Shujian Sect is full of poetry and books. The two are evenly matched. In order to support the chosen one in your hearts, I have decided to open the banker to place bets. Bet on it. If it's a tie, the banker will pay. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the voice. Some people were so angry that they went to find the source of the voice. They saw Yang Zhen holding a big sign with two baskets beside him, one with "Sun Yushi" written on it and the other with "Bian Liang" written on it.

"How can this be absurd? You are actually openly gambling on such an elegant event. It is really disgraceful, disgraceful... Hey, Bian Liang's odds are so high?"

"This is outrageous. It damages the reputation of us scholars. Brother, please don't push me. I'm betting on Bian Liang. The odds are so high. If Bian Liang wins, I won't have to worry about the resources for my cultivation in the next three years."

"Humph, I have plenty of crystals, so I'll bet on Sun Yushi!"

"My dear brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if Sun Yushi wins, you won't make much!"

"I'll bet on Bian Liang!"

"You are too shameless, I'm going to... Bian Liang!"

Yang Zhen smiled happily as he watched the number of crystal stones in the basket increase, and squatted on the ground, unable to contain his joy.

Hua Youyue behind him looked at Yang Zhen with a bewildered face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to stop him, but didn't know where to start.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Beside the high seat, Ji Shulin frowned and snorted coldly, wanting to speak to stop this ridiculous behavior, but seeing the crowd was very lively and rushing to place bets, his face suddenly turned pale, and he waved to a Hailou disciple who was watching the excitement and whispered, "Go, help me bet 30,000 crystal stones that Sun Yushi will win. Remember, you must not tell anyone!"

Sun Yushi looked at the increasing number of crystals in Bian Liang's basket with a gloomy and uncertain face, almost piling up like a mountain. He stared at Yang Zhen fiercely and sneered. When he looked up and saw Hua Youyue's curious eyes looking at Yang Zhen, his expression became even gloomier.

Dang! A pile of crystal stones fell in front of Yang Zhen. Bian Liang smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Zhen, I wonder if I can buy my own victory?"

Yang Zhen put it away with a smile: "Okay, okay, Fellow Daoist Bian Liang, I'll use 50,000 crystal stones to buy my own victory!"

Sun Yushi walked over with a grim expression, threw down a pile of crystals, and said, "Sixty thousand crystals, buy my own victory!"

“No!”

No... no? Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath and looked at Yang Zhen in confusion.

Bian Liang accepted it, but Sun Yushi didn't? This... Yang Zhen really holds a grudge, and his face is so fucking mean.

"Why...why?" Sun Yushi was also confused and asked with a sullen face.

Yang Zhen put away the paper recording the bet, looked up at Sun Yushi, and answered seriously: "You are too ugly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, even Hua Youyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Bian Liang laughed loudly, patted Sun Yushi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Sun, Brother Yang may just be speaking his mind at the moment, don't worry about it, the competition is still the most important thing, I will go ahead and wait for you!"

Sun Yushi sneered, squinted his eyes at Yang Zhen, and strode away without saying a word.

Yang Zhen looked at Sun Yushi's back and suddenly felt a little regretful. This guy had condensed four strands of Wenhua and was almost certain to win the competition with Bian Liang. But now seeing how angry he was, if he performed poorly and lost, wouldn't he lose?

The next moment, Yang really felt comfortable.

Sun Yushi glanced at Bian Liang with disdain, and now, beside the table, a terrifying talent suddenly burst out from his body.

A rich aura of talent filled the air and surrounded Sun Yushi, who was full of vigor and vitality, with his body straight and full of energy.

Everyone exclaimed and looked at Sun Yushi in disbelief. Even Ji Shulin let out a light exclamation and glanced at Sun Yushi with some surprise.
