Peerless Young Master

"Miss Su, what a coincidence, you are here too"

Li Xuan followed his gaze and saw a graceful girl standing on a flower boat a few meters away. It was Su Wan, whom he had met once before.

"The weather has been nice recently, so my sister, some friends and I came to take a walk on Boxin Lake. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li. It's really fate." Su Wan's mouth corners rose slightly, outlining a gentle smile.

Su Wan was wearing a light pink skirt, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, making her look fresh and charming. Her skin was as white as snow and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. Standing on the boat, she was indescribably beautiful and elegant.

Bai Yi Piaoluo's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that his cousin actually knew such a beautiful girl. He quietly came to Li Xuan and whispered, "Benefactor, do you know this girl? She is really beautiful."

"When I first arrived in Yunyao City, I encountered some troubles. It was Miss Su who helped me, otherwise you might not have seen me." Li Xuan nodded. He didn't expect to meet Su Wan here.

"Sister, you know these people"

On the flower boat, a girl with good looks and facial features somewhat similar to Su Wan walked to the side of the boat and looked at Li Xuan and his group.

"Sister, didn't I tell you before that I met some bad guys on the way back to Yunyao City from the academy? It was Master Li who took action, so I was able to return home safely," Su Wan explained.

"I see." A hint of coldness flashed in Su Wan's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Since we have met, why not invite them on board and gather together, so that we can thank them in person for saving our lives."

"This..." Su Wan hesitated.

"Miss Su Er, Miss Su Da is right. The life-saving favor is of such importance that we should repay them handsomely. How can we just let it go so easily?" said a handsome young man.

"OK then"

After a while, a ladder extended from the flower boat, the upper end was stuck on the boat, and the lower end just landed on the boat rented by Li Xuan.

The group of people were not ordinary people, and they walked up in a few seconds.

Su Wan said: "Mr. Li, it has been more than several months since we last met. I didn't expect that we would meet here. You are also enjoying the scenery by boat like us."

"I opened a restaurant by the lake, and business is pretty good. I brought them out for a walk today to combine work and rest."

Li Xuan explained, then clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for the invitation."

"Brother Li, you're welcome."

Zhao Ziqi, dressed in a blue shirt, was gentle and elegant, his every move revealing a scholarly air. He introduced the people on the boat: "This is Li Man, Yang Hengbing, Xuanyang, and this is my sister.

I don't need to introduce this person, I'm sure Brother Li can guess who he is."

As Zhao Ziqi spoke out the names one by one, these people greeted each other politely.

Li Xuan also responded to the greetings one by one: "This girl is somewhat similar to Miss Su, I think they are sisters."

Before Zhao Ziqi could introduce her, Su Wan said with a smile, "This is my sister, Su Wan."

"Hello, Miss Su"

"If we hadn't met this time, I wouldn't have known that Master Li saved my life. Su Wan would like to thank Master Li for his generosity."

Su Wan's words were filled with sincere gratitude, and her every gesture revealed the upbringing of a lady from a noble family, and she also demonstrated her good sisterly demeanor in front of everyone.

"Miss Su, you are too polite. It is the right thing to do to help others when you see injustice. Besides, Miss Su has already thanked you," said Li Xuan.

"Meeting is fate, why don't we sit down and talk slowly"

After that, everyone followed Zhao Ziqi into the cabin. The cabin was decorated in an elegant style, with smoke rising from the incense burner. Next to a carved round table, several pearwood chairs were quietly waiting for the arrival of guests.

Everyone took their seats one by one.

"May I know your names?" Zhao Ziqi asked.

"I was negligent and forgot to introduce myself."

"This is Lu Chou, the one in white, Xiao Xuan, Miss Youmeng."

Li Xuan introduced them one by one.

A few of them nodded to each other and pretended to know each other.

"Mr. Li looks handsome and has extraordinary character and appearance. He is not like an ordinary person. I wonder where Mr. Li has achieved such success," Su Wan said with a smile on her face.

This sentence is just a normal greeting.

Among the people present, only Zhao Ziqi glanced at Su Wan, with ripples in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Li Xuan shook his head: "It's not that great, but I opened a restaurant by the Boxin Lake called "Come Back If You Want to Eat It." You can go and try it if you have the chance. It tastes pretty good."

Restaurant?

Delicious, come again?

Several people thought about it in their minds and had never heard of this name. Then they looked at Li Xuan and his group, who were dressed very ordinary, and guessed that it was a small, second-rate shop.

"Okay, I must try it if I have the chance." Su Wan narrowed her eyes.

The coldness in Su Wan's eyes disappeared in an instant, and she said gently: "Looking at Mr. Li's appearance, he seems to be very dignified, not like an ordinary person. Why don't you go to school and pass the imperial examination, but instead go into business?"

Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, merchants are ranked last.

In the Dahua Dynasty, merchants had the lowest status and were looked down upon. At the same time, merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations.

It can be said that no young person with any potential is willing to do business.

"To be honest, my ancestors ran a restaurant, so I am just following in his footsteps," Li Xuan evaded the question. He didn't want to study; it was pointless.

"If you are willing, I am willing to sponsor your studies as a way to repay your kindness," Su Wan continued.

"Miss Su, you are too polite. I know that I am not talented and well-educated, so forget about studying," Li Xuan refused.

"Whether it's studying or doing business, it all depends on personal preference. Meeting you friends today is also a blessing in life. I offer a toast to you all."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhao Ziqi spoke to break the deadlock. He raised his arm slightly, and his sleeves brushed across the table like clouds, and he elegantly picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Su Wan and Zhao Ziqi were the main speakers in the casual chat, and they talked about the recent situation of the talented people in Yunyao City, as well as the poems appearing on the market.

This made Li Xuan and his group very uncomfortable sitting there. Because of Su Wan, it was not convenient for them to leave early, so they had to bite the bullet and continue sitting there.

"What are we talking about? It's meaningless. My butt is numb from working." The man in white muttered, shaking his body.

Another cup of tea passed, and Li Xuan drank several cups of tea. He really couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Brother Zhao, my legs are numb from sitting here, why don't we go out for a walk;

The scenery of this Heart Lake is beautiful. If I stay here all the time, it would be a waste of my trip."

Zhao Ziqi looked at Su Wan, then nodded: "Since Brother Li said so, let's go to the deck to see the scenery of Boxin Lake."

Soon, a group of people left the cabin.

Su Wan nudged Zhao Ziqi with her arm and gave him a look. Looking at her face, it was as cold as a pond, completely different from the smile she had before.

The flower boat was very large. Li Xuan and his group stood in one place, while Zhao Ziqi and his group stood in another place. Although they were not far apart, they were clearly separated.

"I've always heard that the scenery of Boxin Lake is beautiful. When I saw it today, it is indeed extraordinary." Li Man looked at the lake with admiration in his eyes.

"It would be a shame if I couldn't compose a poem about such a beautiful scenery."

"That's right, Brother Zhao, you are the most talented here, do you have any good works?"

Zhao Ziqi smiled slightly, with a scholarly air in his smile: "Thank you for your kindness, my dear friends. It can't be called a masterpiece, but I do have one good poem."

“Then we’re all ears.”

Zhao Ziqi gazed at the shimmering Boxin Lake and then slowly began to chant, "The lake light and the autumn moon harmonize with each other, the pond's surface is calm and the mirror is unpolished. Looking out at the emerald mountains and waters of Dongting Lake, a green snail lies on a silver plate."

"Well, you are worthy of being Brother Zhao."

"Brother Zhao, you are going too far. If such a good poem cannot be called a masterpiece, then what are we? Aren't we even worse than ordinary people?"

Several people discussed the matter, all praising Zhao Ziqi's poem for its beautiful artistic conception, calling it a rare masterpiece.

"I don't deserve it," Zhao Ziqi said modestly, but the pride on his face was hard to hide.

Immediately, he looked at Li Xuan: "Brother Li, what do you think?"

"chichi"

Upon hearing this, laughter suddenly rang out from the deck.

How could a group of laymen understand this masterpiece? It's like playing the lute to a cow.

Su Wan frowned slightly, stood up and said: "Mr. Zhao is worthy of being a student of the academy. This poem is really extraordinary and I am impressed."

"Oh, I forgot that Brother Li is not a scholar. Just forget it if you don't understand." Zhao Ziqi seemed to be apologizing, but in fact he was mocking Li Xuan as a layman.

"This guy is too arrogant. He just studied for a few years, but he takes himself too seriously. I can strangle him to death with one hand." The man in Bai Yi Piao Luo's face suddenly became ugly.

Li Xuan watched all this calmly, glanced at Su Wan on the side, and frowned slightly. He remembered that he had never offended the other party, so why was she finding fault with her everywhere?

Being bullied by the Shenlong Cult members is one thing, as they have strong fists, but now they even dare to mock a person who has not even experienced the nine-year compulsory education system. Do they really think he is easy to bully?

Li Xuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the scenery before him. He took seven steps and walked to the bow of the boat. He spoke slowly, "The breeze is gentle, and the water is calm..."

I am like a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean... I only have the gentle breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains. My ears hear them as sound and my eyes see them as color. There is no limit to what I can take and no limit to what I can use.

quiet!

The entire ship was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned, their lips opened wide enough to fit an egg, and their pupils flashed with disbelief, as if they had seen something incredible.

Su Wan opened her cherry lips slightly. She didn't expect Li Xuan to be so amazing. He could come up with such beautiful and thought-provoking words in just seven steps.

Su Wan's pupils also suddenly shrank. She thought that he was just an ordinary person, and Zhao Ziqi deliberately provoked him to embarrass him and make him a laughing stock to avenge his hatred.

Unexpectedly, his first move shocked the whole audience.

She was well-read and could be considered a talented woman. How could she not hear that this poem was definitely a masterpiece? If it were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful.

I didn't expect to accidentally offend such a talented person with unlimited future.

Zhao Ziqi's lips trembled slightly, but he was unable to utter a word for a long time. His hands unconsciously grasped the corner of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. He froze in place, as if he had been struck by lightning, and was so shocked that he could not move.

I thought he was just an ordinary person, and that his status was enough to crush him and use this to please Su Wan. I didn't expect Li Xuan to be so powerful.

This poem is truly the most beautiful in the world. Even the teachers in the academy cannot say that they can compare with it.

What’s even more terrifying is that these are only seven steps.

To be able to write such powerful lyrics in such a short time is simply a genius.

You know, he had been thinking about the poem for a long time in private, just wanting to take this opportunity to show off his talent and win Su Wan's favor.

Bai Yi Piaoluo and Lu Chou were also shocked and confused. Although they could read, they did not have much talent.

Although they didn't understand, it didn't stop them from thinking that Li Xuan was very handsome, especially handsome, at that moment.

Especially when I saw these people looking so frustrated, I felt so happy.

Xiao Xuan showed a sweet smile. He is worthy of being my man. He is so awesome.

Youmeng's eyes also flickered. Although she was wearing a veil and her facial expression could not be seen, the shock in her eyes could still be seen.

You know, poetry, songs and prose are different types.

Most scholars in the world are good at poetry, but few are good at lyrics.

Especially if it is well written, then there is even less.

But this poem by Li Xuan can definitely be called a masterpiece.

Even in the capital city where talented people roam everywhere, there are few who can surpass this one in terms of poetry.

For a moment, several people really didn't know what to say.

If I don't show you my skills, you will really think I am invincible... Li Xuan turned around slowly, looked at the expressions on these people's faces, and snorted in his heart.

"Oh, I haven't read for many years. I didn't expect it to take seven steps to come up with it. I blurted it out at the beginning. How stupid of me to say it."

boom!

Everyone was shocked by this sentence again.

Being able to form a poem in seven steps is too stupid. What are they then? Are they mentally retarded?

The most embarrassing and shameful thing is to use your own words to attack your own people. Just now, Zhao Ziqi mocked Li Xuan in public as a layman.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan returned these words to him exactly as they were.

Zhao Ziqi's face turned red and he wanted to dive into the lake. It was so embarrassing.

"It's getting late, and we have to get back to business. We shouldn't delay these talented people from boating on the lake, where their inspiration might burst forth and they might write some beautiful masterpieces."

As he said that, Li Xuan jumped directly onto the boat he rented.

The others didn't take the wooden ladder either, but followed him and jumped down.

"Haha, so fucking happy"

As soon as he landed, Bai Yi Piaoluo burst into laughter: "Tsk tsk, look at the expressions on those people's faces, it's as if their mother had died, it's so refreshing"

"I didn't expect Boss Li to be so capable. It's such a waste of his talent to do business." Lu Chou was also surprised.

All things are inferior, only reading is superior.

Anyone with such amazing talent would choose to study;

I will never engage in lowly business practices.

"Let's see if those people dare to look down on others in the future," Xiao Xuan said proudly.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Li is so talented. This poem would be a top-notch masterpiece even if it was placed in Junluo City. If it were to be spread out, I wonder how many people would want to meet you." You Meng's eyes, which were as calm as a lake, rippled.

"It's not as great as you say. This poem was written by a master from my hometown. I just used it." Li Xuan said that I was just a plagiarist and it was not original.

You Meng smiled without saying anything. If it was really done by someone else, that person would definitely be famous all over the world. How could she not have heard of him?

After a while, the group began to return.

You Meng suddenly whispered, "It seems that the girl named Su Wan has some grudge against you, otherwise she wouldn't embarrass you in public."

Li Xuan's eyes raised. He also saw it, but he just didn't understand why.

After thinking about it, I came up with a very cool sentence, which just happened to highlight his current invincible and majestic figure: "Excellent men always attract women's attention. If they can't get them, they will want to destroy them."

You Meng just stood there in a daze, then chuckled. What an interesting man.

When Xiao Xuan saw this scene, a sense of crisis suddenly came over her. This woman was too beautiful. If she wasn't careful, she would be seduced away by accident.

So she walked over and stood side by side with Li Xuan to declare her status.
