Peerless Young Master

Compared to Li Xuan who drank it all in one gulp, Mo Ling took a small sip: "It's sweet and a little bitter, but it tastes much better than the tea in my home."

"This is top-grade pre-rain Longjing tea. The one you have at home is not even good enough for mouthwash," someone sneered.

"Hey"

Wang Lin said: "You can't say that. Miss Mo Ling is just limited by her conditions. If she were a good family, a mere Rainforest Longjing would be nothing.

If you like it, I'll give you a can later."

"This is not good, it's too expensive," the demon hesitated.

"What's wrong with this? If they are willing to give it, we should accept it. This is one hundred taels of silver. If we change it into steamed buns, we can have full meals every day." Li Xuan immediately became unhappy.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Wang." The demon spirit shrank his neck and frowned slightly, making him look afraid of Li Xuan.

"This demon girl looks like a fairy. I wonder how Lord Wushuang managed to marry such a beauty. You might as well tell us so that we can learn from her," someone said.

Li Xuan waved his hands, his brows beaming, as if this was something that made him extremely proud: "It's nothing, we grew up together, we fell in love with each other, and now we are together."

What a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung... everyone agreed.

"As the saying goes, a husband is his wife's helper. If the husband is not virtuous, the wife can remarry. With Miss Mo Ling's beauty, she really shouldn't stay in the kitchen all day, working hard for three meals a day.

Look at those women, they are dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and have jewelry on their heads. Isn’t it because they found a good man?

These women are not as pretty as you, are you willing to continue to degenerate?" Someone persuaded Mo Ling to remarry.

"What do you mean? You are instigating my woman to divorce her husband in front of me." Li Xuan's face was gloomy and he looked at the man who was speaking viciously.

"I'm just telling the truth. You're just a lowly cook. What qualifications do you have to ruin Miss Mo Ling's future?" the man said disdainfully.

"She is my woman, and even the king can't change that." Li Xuan was so angry that he slammed the table.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you act so rudely in front of us? I can kill you in jail with just one word from you," someone shouted angrily.

"You..." Li Xuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pulled Mo Ling's hand and was about to walk out: "Let's go back."

"Master Wang, I'm sorry, my husband didn't mean it. Please forgive me." The demon spirit pleaded for Li Xuan.

"Miss Mo Ling, this has nothing to do with you. What they say is not without reason. Some women suffer from lack of beauty, so they succumb to lowly men, working hard for three meals a day, and are depressed.

"Don't you want to live a life with someone to wait on you, wake up every day and lie on a silk quilt, drink tea that others can't afford in their lifetime, wear gold and silver jewelry on your hands, water the flowers every day, and chat with your sisters?" Wang Lin tempted.

"Is this... really possible?" The demon spirit's pupils shrank. Could he really live such a good life?

"Miss Mo Ling, these are naturally impossible for you now; but people always strive for higher things and water always flows to lower places. You have already experienced misfortune once in your life, so why do you have to go through it again?

Tea like this is common for us. No one else can come in here, but you can come in anytime you want.

A woman's beauty only lasts for a few years. Do you want to be a yellow-faced woman for the rest of your life?" Miss Lin Er persuaded, trying to do Wang Lin a favor.

Seeing that Mo Ling was in a dilemma, Wang Lin said, "Miss Mo Ling, I was deeply attracted to you the first time I saw you. As long as you are willing, I can give you whatever you want, gold, silver, jewelry, whatever you want, I will give you."

"Demon Spirit, you are my woman, how dare you betray me!" Li Xuan shouted.

"I'll give you one thousand taels of silver as long as you leave Miss Mo Ling. You can earn so much silver in your lifetime and marry as many women as you want," Wang Lin said with a wave of his hand.

"Really?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Wang Lin raised the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think I'm stupid? This woman has a pretty face and a good figure. How can she compare to those women?" Li Xuan pulled Mo Ling to leave, but the latter stood there and didn't want to leave.

Seeing this, someone immediately said, "Miss Mo Ling, if you don't want to leave today, no one can take you away. Even if you get to the government, the worst that can happen is you'll just have to pay some money."

"That's right, we have your back, don't be afraid"

These people had sneers on their faces. They liked to see these couples, when faced with temptation, turn away from each other, feel disgusted with each other, and eventually break up.

"Husband...husband, I don't want to live the hard life I had before. I also want someone to serve me, wear nice clothes, and drink delicious tea." The demon spirit's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look up.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. They are deliberately deceiving you. Once they get you, they won't make any bullshit promises. Only I will truly love you." Li Xuan's face showed grief and indignation.

"Miss Mo Ling, don't listen to him. A woman should be able to decide her own destiny. Since you are going to marry a man anyway, why not find a rich one?" said Miss Lin Er.

Mo Ling lowered her head, pursed her lips, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands clasped together nervously: "Husband, you promised me that if you meet the right one, you will let me go."

Li Xuan widened his eyes, took a few steps back, couldn't believe it, and pointed at the devil: "You...you actually want to abandon me for someone else, don't even think about it, even if you die, you are still mine."

"Wushuang, I've thought it through. I want to live for myself. Why can others be high and mighty and live a comfortable life, but I can't? I'm more beautiful than them, why?

Considering our past relationship, I'll give you a chance. You compete with them, and if you win, I'll go with you," the demon said firmly.

After saying this, Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and licked his inner lips with his tongue. This seemed to be giving Li Xuan a chance, but in fact, his heart was still towards him.

Everyone here is talented and can beat a chef with one hand.

"Didn't you say that you are the most talented chef and the best cook among scholars? Don't you dare?" the demon spirit questioned.

"Come on, who's afraid of who?" Li Xuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

At this time, someone stood up, holding a fan in his right hand and gently placed it on his left hand: "In that case, let me see how powerful you are."

Seeing this, those who knew the situation did not try to stop it. They all knew that Li Mu came out just to teach the ignorant chef a lesson.

To Li Mu, it was a great shame and humiliation to say that those couplets were too simple.

"Two monkeys were cutting wood in the mountains, and one asked the other how to saw together." Li Mu was the first to come up with a couplet.

"Brother Li, I'm just a cook and haven't read many books. You're really bullying me," someone said in a sarcastic tone.

Li Mu nodded his head with his fan, pretending to regret: "It's my fault. I just made it casually. I didn't expect it to be as difficult as climbing to the sky for some people. How about I change to a simple one that a three-year-old boy can make."

"Ha ha"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into laughter.

"A horse hides in the mud, let's see how the beast will move its hooves," Li Xuan said lightly.

Li Mu's face suddenly turned gloomy. He tightly grasped his fan, veins bulging out. He even called himself a beast and glared at Li Xuan: "A crab covered in armor!"

"The Spider is Full of Knowledge"

After answering two questions in a row, Li Mu put away his contempt: "You have some ability, no wonder you dare to be so domineering in front of us. Let me teach you a lesson today and let you know your place is high and your depth is deep."

"The dragon hides in the vast lake and accumulates ambition"

Obviously, Li Mu is serious.

Several people in the field frowned slightly, obviously thinking about the second line.

"The snake skin on the prairie contains vitality," Li Xuan blurted out again.

"Wonderful!" At this time, someone exclaimed, quickly realized something, and coughed twice.

"In the picture, the dragon doesn't roar, the tiger doesn't roar, the little cook is ridiculous."

"On the chessboard, the chariot has no wheels and the horse has no reins, shouting, 'General, beware! Beware!'"

[This Wushuang is really just a cook. Although Li Mu is not the top talent in the capital, he is also well-known. This Wushuang is actually on par with him.]

You say this person is strange, but is he deliberately hiding his incompetence?

"I don't think so. He doesn't look like he's from a wealthy family. I've all heard of famous talents in this country, but there's no one called Wushuang."

[Don't worry, Li Mu is just underestimating his enemy for the moment. Once he gets serious, a mere chef won't be able to cause any trouble.]

Everyone was talking in low voices. Although the couplet Li Mu came up with was not very difficult and they could match it, they were talented and the strength of both sides was about the same.

The strange thing is that a chef actually got everything right from beginning to end and didn't lose. This seems a bit abnormal.

"I thought you were something great, but you're just like this. Don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm a cook. I also studied for a few years back then." Li Xuan's face was full of disgust.

"You dare to steal my woman, bah"

"Let's go. No one can take you away today." Li Xuan spat and pulled the demon spirit out.

The "Young Master Wang" demon spirit let Li Xuan pull him, turned around, tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Wang Lin heartbrokenly. This pitiful scene made people want to hold him in their arms and take good care of him.

"stop"

Sure enough, Wang Lin couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.

"What? You want to do it yourself? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" At this moment, Li Xuan turned into a flat-headed brother. He would not submit to anyone and just wanted to fight.

Wang Lin frowned. He was just rich, and his talent was definitely not as good as the other talented people present: "The winner hasn't been decided yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's him..." Li Xuan pointed at Li Mu and said contemptuously, "It's this kind of scum. I'll beat them all up and make you give up today."

"It was just a warm-up just now. I didn't expect that you have some talent... Zhang Yuan, you play with him." Wang Lin changed someone.

"This..." Li Mu was dissatisfied. He was actually despised by a lowly cook.

Wang Lin's eyes turned cold, and Li Mu's face showed an ugly expression. He had no choice but to sit down unwillingly, staring at Li Xuan, wishing he could strangle him to death.

He felt regretful. If he had used all his strength from the beginning to defeat the chef directly, he would not have ended up in this embarrassing situation. Not only did he lose face, but Wang Lin was also dissatisfied.

At this time, a handsome young man stood up and bowed: "My name is Zhang Yuan."

"Don't try to play tricks on me. Just use what skills you have. Don't be like that guy just now who only knows how to brag." Li Xuan waved his hand.

Hearing this, Li Mu was so angry that his face turned ashen. He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were like torches, staring at Li Xuan intently.

You brat, you are going too far!

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly: "Since you just made a couplet, I will also make a couplet... Spring goes and autumn comes, and I am happy."

“Winter goes and autumn hides, and joy always remains”

“The breeze and the bright moon are priceless”

“The nearby water and the distant mountains are all full of affection”

"Are you really a chef... Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. With your talent, you can be called a genius even in the capital." Zhang Yuan was a little curious.

Li Xuan's thugs are like this: "What's so good about scholars? They don't work hard, they don't know the difference between grains, they just talk nonsense. They either get together as a group of idle people and talk nonsense, or they plot to steal other people's wives.

I don’t want to be some shitty genius, I’d rather be happy cooking.”

"Hehe" Zhang Yuan said with a forced smile, how could he not hear the derogatory meaning in the words: "The next couplet is quite difficult, I don't expect you to match it perfectly, but a forced one is fine."

"Come on!" Li Xuan disagreed.

"Painting a Lotus Monk"

On the surface, this couplet refers to the monk painting, but if you read it carefully, the pronunciation is the same whether you read it forward or backward, making it extremely difficult to match it up.

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone's lips curled up and their eyes were filled with smiles. This couplet would be extremely difficult for them to make even if they wanted to.

How could a mere cook possibly figure it out?

Wang Lin sat upright in the main seat, picked up a cup of tea and savored it carefully. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Li Xuan, as if to say that the farce was over.

But when he looked at the demon spirit, his greed and plundering intent were barely concealed.

"Wushuang, I've already given you a chance. Let's separate. It's impossible for you to match this pair." The demon spirit reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Ha ha"

Li Xuan suddenly burst into laughter, holding the demon spirit in one hand, and exclaimed. The latter held Li Xuan's head with both hands and walked directly in front of Wang Lin with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"Painting lotuses by monks, calligraphy by Han Dynasty calligraphers"

Li Xuan picked up the teapot, found a clean cup, poured a cup of tea, picked it up and drank it all, staring at Wang Lin with sharp eyes: "The tea is good, but the person is far from good."

After saying this, he turned around and walked away: "I also have a couplet, 'If the sky had feelings, it would also grow old'", laughing as he walked, and even after he left, his laughter still echoed in the temple.

Wang Lin had no expression on his face and did not move a muscle, but his eyes were as cold as a pond, as if they could freeze the air around him.

I thought I would be able to watch a good show by setting up a trap, but I didn't expect that I would be the one set up and be played like a monkey the whole time.

Wushuang, I will remember you!

The rest of the people were also shocked. They didn't expect that Wushuang was so bold. They looked at Wang Lin's cannibalistic look and fell silent.

Time passed quietly, and many people began to think about the couplet left by Li Xuan, but no matter how they thought about it, they could not come up with the second line, which seemed to be absolute.

Outside, the pleasant and crisp laughter of the demon spirit never stopped for a moment. I didn't expect that I would encounter such an interesting thing when I came out.

Li Xuan gave her a thumbs up: "Okay, I just give you a look and you know how to cooperate with me. It seems that we really have a tacit understanding."

"It's really funny. These people rely on their knowledge and are so arrogant, but they are beaten by a cook like you and their parents are not recognized. It's really funny to see how frustrated they are." The demon spirit was still unsatisfied.

After laughing for a while, Mo Ling became a little worried: "Wang Lin doesn't look easy to mess with. If you offend him today, aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you?"

Li Xuan laughed and said, "I am the princess's man, how dare he touch me."

As he said that, he slapped the demon's buttocks and said, "I have satisfied you today, but you have to shake the sun hard for me later."
