Yang Zhen looked around carelessly and asked Xue Zonglin beside him, "What exactly is this monthly competition about, and how are the rankings determined?"

Xue Zonglin was stunned, looked around, and whispered: "The monthly competition is not limited to works. As long as the works can embody literary elegance, they can be presented to let Master Su judge. No one knows the judging process, and it is all Master Su's opinion."

"One person's opinion?" Yang Zhen was stunned and asked, "Will one person's opinion be unfair?"

Just as Xue Zonglin was about to speak, Yanhua beside him said with a smile: "The way of talent is not like judging the papers of the imperial examination. Whether it can arouse talent and how much talent can be gathered can be seen at a glance. Only some extremely special works will be difficult to judge."

Yang Zhen exclaimed, and immediately understood that Mr. Su must have a special way to bring out the elegance of these works.

At this time, Gan Bailin suddenly came over, looked at Yang Zhen and said, "Yang Kang, the monthly competition is a competition between people with real talents and knowledge. How can a person like you who only seek fame and reputation understand this?"

Yang Zhen smiled but didn't say anything. Xue Zonglin was furious and stared at Gan Bailin and said, "Gan Bailin, don't be so sarcastic here. If you have the ability, go find Yang Zhen and compete with him. Yang Zhen is younger than you, but he caused a huge sensation on Turtle Snake Island. His heavenly music made everyone comprehend. The Phoenix Picture and Tiger Roaring in the Mountains and Forests he created were even more talented. Can you do it?"

Gan Bailin laughed loudly and said, "Yang Zhen is just a man seeking fame and reputation. If he really has such talent, why did he become a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating him, and he has not appeared again until now?"

Xue Zonglin's expression froze. Just as he was about to speak, Gan Bailin snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "Don't tell Gan about those rumors. Do you believe in false information?"

At this point, Gan Bailin looked at Yang Zhen with a smile and asked, "What do you think, Brother Yang?"

Yang Zhen said seriously: "Maybe Yang Zhen just thinks you are not worth his effort, and he is too lazy to even pretend to be tough?"

"You..." Gan Bailin snorted coldly, "You are sharp-tongued. When we meet Mr. Su later, I will see your true colors. What else can you say?"

Yang Zhen smiled and said nothing more. He glanced at Xue Zongli who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Xue Zongli immediately shut his mouth.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and everyone looked towards the second floor of the clock tower.

Yang Zhen looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up.

At the staircase on the second floor, Mrs. Su, dressed in a snow-white dress, came slowly. Almost every movement of hers was full of literary flavor, yet soft, sweet and elegant, making people breathe a little faster involuntarily.

Su Dajia had a smile on her face, but it was just a smile without any emotion. She glanced at everyone and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Everyone immediately started to speak politely and greeted each other with a bow.

Gan Bailin even moved his feet slightly, using his body to block Yang Zhen's sight, and said to Su Dajia: "I have long admired Su Dajia's elegance. Seeing you today, I feel like I am bathed in spring breeze. Su Dajia looks extraordinary. She is truly a stunning beauty, the best in Tieling City!"

Mr. Su smiled, bowed to Gan Bailin, and said, "Mr. Gan, thank you for the compliment!"

Gan Bailin was delighted and was about to speak when Su Dajia suddenly turned his head and said to Yang Zhen, "I guess this must be Young Master Yang Kang!"

Seeing that Mr. Su no longer paid attention to him, Gan Bailin's face turned cold. He glanced at Yang Zhen and sneered.

If Yang Zhen was here, with his arrogant personality, Gan Bailin might even be a little jealous, but this Yang Kang is not Yang Zhen after all. Compared with Yang Zhen, the Yang Kang in front of him is simply too low-key and cowardly.

Gan Bailin sneered and was about to force his way into the conversation between Su Dajia and Yang Zhen when suddenly a cry of surprise came: "Brother Yang Zhen!"

Yang Zhen...brother? Hearing these four words, everyone was shocked and looked towards the source of the voice with horror.

Even Yang Zhen was startled. He looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, his eyes suddenly widened!

No wonder the name sounded familiar. When Yang Zhen saw the little girl coming down the stairs, he immediately remembered her.

“Yang Yang Yang Yang Zhen?” Xue Zonglin was startled and even jumped up. He jumped to the opposite side of Yang Zhen with a whoosh. He looked at Yang Zhen up and down in doubt and asked, “Yang…Brother Yang, your name is not Yang Guo?”

Gan Bailin looked at Yang Zhen in bewilderment, with absurd expressions flashing in his eyes. He said in disbelief, "Impossible, how could he be Yang Zhen!"

"What, Yang Kang is Yang Zhen, this... how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible? Miss Tianrou's words could not be false. I didn't expect that Yang Kang was Yang Zhen. How could this bastard break in here without anyone noticing?"

"No, we can't let him hurt everyone Su, everyone, quickly take down Yang Zhen!"

The faces of the group of people gradually changed, and many of them even began to surround Yang Zhen, staring at him and scolding him, "Are you the Yang Zhen who spoke so arrogantly?"

Among the crowd, the most surprised were Yanhua and Su Dajia. After looking at each other, they saw surprise in each other's eyes.

For a moment, the entire bell tower fell silent, and everyone stared at Yang Zhen in doubt, their faces horrified! "Brother Yang Zhen, why are you here?" Tian Rou jumped up to Yang Zhen, looked up at him and asked.

Yang Zhen laughed, rubbed Tianrou's head, and said, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to come here. Why didn't you go to that Spiritual Academy?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Spiritual Palace?" Gan Bailin snorted coldly and said, "So you really are Yang Zhen. This is outrageous. Do you think the Spiritual Palace is so easy to enter?"

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "It seems a little difficult for you, but it's not difficult for a little girl!"

"How arrogant!" Gan Bailin sneered and said loudly: "You all heard it. The Yang Kang in front of us is the arrogant Yang Zhen. He is so shameless that he even insulted everyone Su. Gan suggests that we take Yang Zhen down together and make him pay the price!"

Having said that, Gan Bailin secretly glanced at Su Dajia's face. Seeing that Su Dajia had no intention of objecting, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became gloating when he looked at Yang Zhen.

At this time, Yang Zhen suddenly showed a strange smile, looked at Gan Bailin and said: "This is a bit strange, you keep saying that I insulted the Su family, but what did I say?"

"You said..." Gan Bailin paused, staring at Yang Zhen with an unpleasant expression. He couldn't dare to say in front of everyone, especially Su Dajia, that Su Dajia was not even worthy of making a bed for him? At this time, Yang Zhen suddenly chuckled, stared at Gan Bailin and said, "I don't know what Su Dajia is like, and I am not targeting a certain person here..."

Yang Zhen looked around at everyone and said with a grin, "I just want to say that everyone here is actually garbage!"

After hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone present was stunned, then became furious, and began to blame Yang Zhen and shout at him.

Gan Bailin laughed even louder, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, "Yang Zhen, everyone can brag, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Compare with him!"

"It's ridiculous that there are still such arrogant people in the world."

"Young man Yang Zhen, don't be so arrogant. If you have the guts, compete with Master Gan!"

Listening to the crowd cursing, Yang Zhen suddenly felt confused. What on earth did that bastard Jianmao want him to do?
