I, Ye Chen, turned out to be a top expert

The Moon-Watching Pavilion is brightly lit.

Confucian scholars entered one by one, observing great etiquette.

The carriage stopped in front of Wangyue Pavilion. Li Mu jumped off the carriage first and prepared a stool.

"Sir, please." Li Mu bowed.

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this." But Li Mu replied by mentioning Ye Chen's life-saving grace. Ye Chen shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless, and could only get off the carriage.

Li Mu approached the Moon Watching Pavilion with Ye Chen with a respectful look on his face.

"Stop coming?"

"Your Highness, not everyone can enter today's literary gathering."

As Ye Chen approached the Moon Watching Pavilion, two scholars stood in front of him and spoke righteously.

"Ok?"

At this moment, a cold murderous intent appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

Staring at the two of them coldly.

"I said you are qualified to enter." Li Mu's voice was cold.

"Your Highness, this is my Confucian and Taoist literary gathering. If Your Highness insists on forcing his way in, we naturally cannot stop him. However, this gathering is over. The Tang Dynasty can no longer accommodate us, so we leave it."

"If you want to enter, you must pass our test. If you want to participate here, you don't have enough profound knowledge, no matter how noble your status is."

Under Li Mu's pressure, the two men's legs trembled violently and some of them could no longer support themselves, but the expressions on their faces remained unyielding and they would not give in even if they died.

"Step aside."

Li Mu felt uneasy when he saw Ye Chen didn't say anything, and his voice became even colder.

"Li Mu, if you have the guts, kill us. Don't even think about using your strength and status to suppress us." The two men's bodies were shaking violently. Their legs seemed to be about to explode, and they supported their bodies with the swords in their hands.

"court death……"

At this moment, Li Mu was directly angry.

"It doesn't matter."

As soon as Li Mu exploded, Ye Chen's hand fell on Li Mu's shoulder.

Li Mu's aura was strangely suppressed by Ye Chen within his body and returned to normal.

"Yes, son."

There were beads of sweat on Li Mu's forehead and back. At this moment, Li Mu was extremely frightened.

Because just now, his strength had already exploded, but when Ye Chen's hand fell on his shoulder, Li Mu seemed to feel that time was flowing backwards, and his breath instantly recovered to the moment when he was about to explode.

Controlling time with a wave of the hand is an extremely terrifying thing. Even a true immortal cannot do it, because time cannot be controlled.

The so-called past and future are nothing but the marks left by himself, but at that moment just now, Li Mu clearly felt that time was flowing backwards and time was being controlled.

At this moment, Li Mu hurriedly retreated to Ye Chen's side.

"Ok?"

The moment they saw this scene, the expressions of the two scholars changed slightly. They did not expect that Prince Li Mu would be so respectful to Ye Chen.

But it was only a moment of surprise.

"Sir, stop!"

The two still showed no intention of dodging.

"I am Ye Chen, a commoner who has read some books. I want to enter the Moon Watching Pavilion. I wonder what conditions I need to meet. My hometown also has countless scholars and has been famous for hundreds of years. Since you have conditions, please tell me. If I can't meet them, I will leave."

Ye Chen performed the etiquette of a scholar, appearing very graceful.

"it is good."

At this moment, the two of them looked at Ye Chen seriously, and after looking at each other, they agreed to Ye Chen.

"Sir, the first level is to match this couplet."

The two of them finished speaking and opened the first couplet.

"People talk about people, and people talk about people. If everyone talks about you, it's better not to say anything."

Li Mu took a look at the couplet and felt helpless. It seemed very simple, but he couldn't come up with the second line for a while. The counselors behind him also changed their expressions at this moment.

The two scholars' eyes fell on Ye Chen: "Sir, as long as you can come up with the second couplet, you will pass the first level. You have two incense sticks of time."

The two of them did not make things too difficult for Ye Chen.

"Two incense sticks of time? That's too short."

Everyone was shocked, wondering how it could be completed in such a short time.

When everyone was anxious, Ye Chen smiled and said, "It won't take that long, I already have it."

"Ok?"

When they heard Ye Chen's words, they were extremely shocked. This couplet was written by an old scholar in the pavilion.

The two of them looked at Ye Chen expectantly.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "The officials will control the officials, and the controlled will control the officials. It's better to not control the officials than to control the controlled ones."

"this……!"

When the two scholars heard Ye Chen's second line, their eyes were filled with horror.

Ye Chen’s second line is so neat.

"Sir, I'll pass on your second line right away."

After hearing Ye Chen's second line, a scholar was overjoyed and ran directly into the attic.

"gentlemen."

At this moment, Li Mu looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

Li Mu didn't expect Ye Chen to answer correctly.

"That's fine. This is quite interesting. I can't practice well, but I can memorize books."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Young Master, you are truly talented. Next is the second level. Compose a poem within seven steps."

The second question was asked in the attic.

"it is good."

Li Yixi recited the poem directly.

"Boil the beans and make a soup, strain the beans and make the juice.

Osmunda burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle.

We are of the same origin, why are we so eager to fight each other? "

After Ye Chen's voice fell, the scene was extremely quiet. A moment later, an old, hunchbacked scholar with silver hair and a thin face full of wrinkles and age spots appeared in the attic.

Everyone's eyes fell on the old scholar, full of respect.

The old scholar seemed to have used up all his strength by the time he reached the attic door.

Breathless.

When the old scholar's eyes fell on Ye Chen, his eyes lit up. Ye Chen's temperament shocked him.

The old scholar took a deep breath and said, "I, Ouyang Jing, greet you, young master. I was confused. Given your literary talent, why should we continue to test you? We scholars are all one family, no matter where we are."

"I am Ouyang Jing, and I hope you will forgive my recklessness." Ouyang Jing saluted.

"I hope you won't blame me, sir."

As Ouyang Jing's voice fell, everyone in the attic hurriedly saluted.

"I, Ouyang Jing, invite you to attend the literary gathering tonight. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you are extremely knowledgeable, and now I believe it." Ouyang Jing smiled knowingly and extended the invitation.

"My name is Ye Chen, thank you Mr. Ouyang." Ye Chen said hurriedly with a smile on his face.

Ye Chen and Li Mu walked up to the Moon Watching Pavilion.

Walking up to the Moon Watching Pavilion, Ye Chen discovered that all the people participating in the literary gathering today were Confucian scholars, and no one practiced martial arts.

I thought to myself, "No wonder it's like this, it turns out they are all Confucian scholars."

Ye Chen knew something about the tempers of these old Confucian scholars from history books. They were extremely stubborn.

"Master Ye, all scholars in the world are one family. I am sorry for being rude today. I would like to offer you a toast."

Ouyang Jing picked up the wine and said apologetically.

"It's okay, I can understand. A literary gathering must behave like a literary gathering. I'm also a scholar, so I understand." Ye Chen also picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Everyone, what is the theme of today's literary gathering?" Ye Chen asked.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Ouyang Jing, with a serious look on their faces.
