The Wu and Xiao families had been harboring a deep hatred for each other recently, so Wu Yanming had been trying to find out the weaknesses of the Xiao brothers. The other sons of the Xiao family were indeed good, but Xiao Qi...
He's clearly an incompetent waste!
At Wanjun Academy, some people did say that Xiao Qi was ranked first, but what kind of place is Wanjun Academy?
There were all these dandies in there. Zhou Jingmao was just a prince who lived a life of idleness and waited for death. And Ying Hui was also notorious for her lustful nature. What good would it do to be the number one among them?!
Wu Yanming was angry, but he didn't dare to step out.
He also knew that the Wu family was no longer what it used to be, especially the literati, who looked down upon their family members more and more. If he showed up, others would only think that he was targeting them.
But he felt very unwilling to let Xiao Cunyu continue to seek fame and reputation in this way.
Wu Yanming drank two sips of wine, and the alcohol got to him. As he listened to other people's compliments, a sneer slowly emerged in his face.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall!
Didn't everyone say that someone like Xiao Cunyu was also a genius? Well, he would let everyone see how capable this so-called genius really was!
After Wu Yanming left, he did not go home, but found someone he trusted.
The next morning, hundreds of posts were sent to several academies.
These posts were scattered around several academies, sprinkled with gold powder and painted with a long sword, making them look very stylish.
When the students picked it up and took a look, they were shocked by the content.
It turned out to be a letter of challenge.
The entire post only has dozens of words, but it is extremely rampant.
It read: "I've heard your academy is overflowing with talented people, and I'm not convinced. So, I'm issuing a challenge. Three days from now, we'll have a literary duel by the Mingxin Lake. I, Xiao Cunyu, will represent Wanjun Academy and reclaim the title of the world's number one academy. I'll let you fools know that even if you're brilliant and study hard, you can't compare to a little boy like me who's just a cockfighting idiot!"
The first thing that came to mind when someone saw the post was that someone was joking.
They hadn't done anything to Xiao Qilang, so how could they possibly provoke a challenge from Xiao Qilang?
However, this gold sticker looks expensive, and the ink used smells fragrant. The sword painted on it looks truly majestic and unique. I've also heard recently that Xiao Qilang's most distinctive feature is his beloved sword, which is inlaid with various gems, sparkling and particularly beautiful...
And if it was just one pair of gold stickers, it would be fine, but with so many... it doesn't look like a joke.
The three most famous academies in the capital are Luoxing Academy, Qingshan Academy and Yuansheng Academy. They are particularly picky in recruiting students, and most of those who can get in have real talents.
Inside Luoxing Academy, Xiao Guantang was preparing for the exam.
The exam will start on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, so there are only a few days left.
Even though he was confident enough, he didn't dare to relax too much now. Besides, there were many other people in the academy preparing for the exam, so it was extremely quiet during this period.
"Something happened!" Early in the morning, Xiao Guantang was still carrying his books when a "junior" he knew broke into his residence.
Xiao Guantang also knew that the other party was a steady person. If it wasn't a big deal, he would definitely not have such a big reaction, so he immediately put down the book in his hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Guantang, your seventh brother... I'm afraid he's in trouble." The other party showed an indescribable expression and then handed over the post.
Xiao Guantang was confused and took it to take a look.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed a bit: "This can't be written by my seventh brother. He doesn't like to show off his knowledge."
