Peerless Young Master

"Sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, ten"

"Do not"

"Three Threes"

"I win, I win"

"I'm not playing anymore. I keep losing. I've lost all my monthly salary."

"You're lucky. I've lost two months of monthly wages in a row. I'll have to eat dirt next month."

As he was bored, Li Xuan took the time to get out the playing cards. This is the best game to kill time. The more you play, the more exciting it becomes. You can play from dawn to dusk.

It is most suitable for an energetic child like Princess Ping'an!

But the cards are there, but there are not enough people to play them.

This game lacks variety when played by two people and is indeed a bit boring. It is barely passable when played by three people, but if you want to experience the fun of Landlord, you need four people.

However, the reputation of Princess Ping'an's ominous body was known throughout the princess's mansion, and the servants in the mansion avoided her as much as possible, let alone sitting with her to play games.

In order to get four people together, Li Xuan put in a lot of effort, even using his own intact body as an example, and all the gossip about the princess was false.

Otherwise, why didn't anything bad happen to him?

Although Li Xuan tried his best to testify, these people had been afraid for more than ten years. How could they overcome their fear and let go of their prejudices in such a short time?

In desperation, Li Xuan had to find the housekeeper and ask him to find two people to play with him. The housekeeper was unwilling to do so. The last time he met the princess up close, he twisted his waist for no apparent reason.

After lying in bed for ten days or half a month, I was able to get out of bed and walk.

In a rage, Li Xuan asked Princess Ping'an to take action. When she heard that she was not allowed to play, Princess Ping'an immediately frowned, put her hands on her waist, and pouted her mouth like a dolphin. She stared at everyone she saw with a puffed-up look, and no one could escape.

As a result, during those few days, the entire princess's mansion was in turmoil. A maid fell into the water, the cook burned down the kitchen, and a servant suddenly got cramps and couldn't move...

In short, everyone in the mansion was in panic.

In the end, the butler came forward and begged the princess to take back her "magic power". They said they could not stand such torture, but Princess Ping'an refused to listen.

The housekeeper tried to persuade Li Xuan and promised to bring two people together. Only then did Li Xuan let Princess Ping'an take back her "magic power".

Strangely enough, when the two servants heard that they were going to play a game with the princess, their faces turned pale and they were horrified, but they were of low status and could not resist.

I was even prepared for death or disability, but after a few days, nothing happened.

All the money I had saved with great difficulty was lost.

"You have no money?" Li Xuan looked at the two men's sad faces.

The two men shook their heads, their faces looking as if they had eaten a fly.

"Then you guys go and come back when you have enough money." Li Xuan looked at the change in front of him and a smile suddenly broke out on his face.

"Brother, I'll give it all to you." Princess Ping'an pushed all the silver coins on the table in front of Li Xuan, looking well-behaved.

Li Xuan did not refuse and put the silver in his pocket. He reached out and pinched Princess Ping'an's little face: "You are so good. Brother likes you like this."

Princess Ping'an's eyes curved into crescents, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing two shallow dimples, then she closed her eyes and tilted her face forward slightly.

Li Xuan pecked her hard on the smooth cheek, and Princess Ping'an immediately laughed out loud.

"Brother will take you out to play"

"Um"

Just as the two were leaving hand in hand, a person was standing not far away, taking it all in. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

The weather was exceptionally clear, and the sunlight penetrated the clouds like a thin thread, gently sprinkling on the bluestone slabs, sparkling with golden light.

Li Xuan walked on the street holding Princess Ping'an's hand, while the latter looked at the bustling market, the endless stream of pedestrians and carriages with curiosity.

Compared to her first time leaving the palace, Princess Ping'an seemed to have adapted to this place which was bigger and more lively than the princess's mansion.

"I heard that the fifth level of the Ascension Tower has been solved."

"The fifth level is out, I remember it was only the third level two days ago."

"I heard that it was a talented person who took action, so that's right."

"Have you figured out the third level of Wushuang Tower?"

"Oh, forget it. I don't know who came up with this pairing, it's so difficult. I heard that many talented people have secretly looked at it, but no one can match it."

"If Heaven had feelings, it would also grow old. This sounds absolute, who can contradict it?"

"Someone wants to challenge the third level of Wushuang Tower. I heard he's a great talent."

"Really"

"Then I have to go and see it. How can I be absent from such a lively atmosphere?"

After hearing the news, everyone rushed towards Wushuang Tower. Li Xuan followed behind, holding Princess Ping'an's hand.

He wanted to see who could come up with the second line.

…………

Huang Tianxiang

"It's actually him"

In the crowd, a man in a brocade robe stood out from the crowd. He had a handsome face and a scholarly air between his brows, yet he was still heroic.

This person is Huang Tianxiang, the second most talented person on the Qingyun List.

At this moment, he looked at the pair suspended in the air, raised his chin slightly, and his face was full of arrogance, as if a mere Wushuang Building and a mere pair had no qualifications for him to come in person.

Given his status, coming here is already a condescension.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Huang Zhengxiang spoke slowly after a moment: "If the sky has feelings, it will also grow old. This feeling cannot be expressed in words."

"it is good"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and the ripples spread rapidly, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake.

This couplet has been out for a while, but no one has been able to match it. For these talented people, this has become a thorn in their hearts.

This time, not only did they resolve a knot that had troubled them for a long time, but they were also able to witness the elegance of a rising talent. It was absolutely worth it.

He is indeed a talented man, extraordinary.

On the other side, Li Xuan did not go to Wushuang Building, but came to Rujia Restaurant first. He soon met Ruda, and the three of them came to the private room on the second floor.

Ruda glanced at Princess Ping'an and said to Li Xuan: "Sir, you are truly an expert. Everything is as you expected.

Since the Wushuang Building was built, it has attracted many talented people to come here, and its reputation has risen rapidly, and the restaurant business has also improved a lot."

Li Xuan was not too surprised by this: "When I came here, I heard there was a tower called the Heavenly Tower. Did you know..."

Speaking of this, Ruda's face suddenly turned gloomy: "The Lin family saw that the restaurant business was good, so they not only sent people to the streets to distribute flyers, but also built a Dengtian Tower, just like us, trying to attract popularity. It's really despicable."

When the Lin family made the soup pot, it became very popular in Junluo. They made a lot of money. However, the Ru family was not jealous and even forbade the restaurant to sell the soup pot, just to prove themselves.

I didn’t expect that the Lin family has lost all their dignity now.

"Whether it's Wushuang Tower or Dengtian Tower, it's secondary. The most important thing is the pairing above. Although the Lin family is quite powerful, they are nothing compared to the capital.

What good couplets can they come up with that can compare with mine?" Li Xuan was absolutely confident in his own couplet. Even if the world's most outstanding scholar came, he would not dare to say that he could reach the final level.

“I have sent people to inquire about this matter. The Lin family’s couple is naturally not comparable to ours, but they can also be considered a masterpiece;

I heard that Miss Lin II sent a lot of gifts through others, which is why we got these couplets, especially the last one, which was written by the talented Yunxiao, it is very impressive." Ruda frowned.

"Yunxiao Talent"?

Seeing Li Xuan's confusion, Ruda explained: "In the capital, anyone who is a scholar is basically a talent. If they are not talented, they are embarrassed to go out.

In order to distinguish the levels of these people, there are Qingyun Talents, Yunxiao Talents, and Qilin Talents. Among them, Qilin Talents are the most important, and there are only ten of them."

"Is it amazing?"

Ruda paused and thought, what do you mean by very powerful? This is really powerful, so powerful that even his father has to be polite to him when he sees him.

“It’s impressive. There are at least hundreds of thousands of scholars in the entire capital, but there are only a hundred spots to become a Yunxiao scholar. All of these people are gifted children of heaven and influential figures.

Even the couplet put forward by the 100th place winner is enough to stump 99% of the scholars in the capital.

I don't know where the Lin family got to know this person, but they used the name of Yunxiao Talent to attract a lot of attention."

"Even better than me." Li Xuan frowned. The couplets he came up with were basically absolute, enough to sweep away 99% of the scholars in the world.

"This is definitely not as good. Dengtian Tower has already reached the fifth level, and Wushuang Tower is only at the third level." Ruda showed a happy expression, indicating that Wushuang Tower crushed Dengtian Tower.

"The third level? Someone solved the first two levels so quickly?" Li Xuan was surprised.

"The first level is a match made by a brilliant scholar, at the level of a Qingyun scholar. The second level is a match made by a woman named Mo Ling."

"Demon Spirit" Li Xuan was shocked.

"Do you know him?"

Li Xuan nodded, not expecting it to be a demon spirit.

By the way, I have been in the capital for such a long time, but I still don’t know where Youmeng is.

According to Mo Ling's personality, it is impossible for him to come to such a boring place like Wushuang Tower alone.

"She is alone, is there anyone else around her?"

"There is also a man and a woman. The man is the Qingyun Talented Scholar Mo Rushi, who is ranked fifth on the Qingyun List. He is extremely talented, well-educated, and famous throughout the world.

The woman is the most beautiful courtesan in Huanyanfang, her name is Youmeng."

Sure enough it was her!

Huanyanfang!

This is where Youmeng is staying, and it seems that Mo Ling is here too.

"Let him go about the matter of ascending to the Heavenly Tower. As time goes by, someone will surely come up with a matching couplet for the so-called Yunxiao genius. By then, it will be a joke, and we will reap the benefits.

We just need to wait quietly." Li Xuan didn't take the Ascension Tower seriously at all, or the Yunxiao Talent.

If he is a talented person, he might be barely acceptable.

…………

"That's it"?

"I heard that the couplets in Wushuang Tower are very difficult. I wonder how many talented people came here and couldn't come up with a match. I think it's nothing, far worse than Dengtian Tower.

I think you, Home Inn, are just trying to gain reputation by deliberately recruiting some low-class people to commit fraud and gain enough publicity," Huang Zhengxiang said with disdain.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped.

I didn't expect Huang Zhengxiang to belittle Wushuanglou in public. You know, it was thanks to these couplets that Wushuanglou went from being obscure to being famous.

It can be said that Home Inn has made a lot of money thanks to the fame brought by Wushuang Building.

And now Huang Zhengxiang's words are like a heavy blow to Home Inn.

Could there be some conflict between the two parties?

Could it be that Huang Zhengxiang is standing up for the Lin family this time?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Dengtian Tower launched by the Lin family was an imitation of Home Inn, and although the couplets were good, they were far inferior to the Wushuang Tower.

Wushuang Tower is only on the third floor now, while Dengtian Tower is on the sixth floor. You can imagine the gap between the two.

How could Huang Tianxiang not know such an obvious thing?

"What a big tone! He only matched the first line, but he's so arrogant! If he matched the following lines, his tail would be knocked to the sky!"

Li Xuan, who was about to leave, became unhappy when he heard this. This was simply a direct attack on him.

Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed naturally, leaving a passage.

"Who are you?" Huang Tianxiang's eyes became sharp.

"A passerby," Li Xuan said slowly.

"From your tone, you seem a little dissatisfied."

"The Dengtian Tower has already reached the sixth floor, while the Wushuang Tower is only on the third floor. Anyone with a discerning eye knows the difference between the two. You actually still say that the Dengtian Tower is better. You must have your eyes on your butt," Li Xuan retorted.

"Hehe" Upon hearing this, many people laughed, but quickly covered their mouths.

Huang Zhengxiang frowned and his face turned ugly. How could someone dare to talk to him? "The fact that there are many people on the sixth floor of the Dengtian Tower means that there are many people there. Unlike the Wushuang Tower, it has no reputation at all and no talented people come here at all."

Li Xuan was speechless. He could still use such sophistry. It really broadened his horizons.

"Putting aside Wushuang Tower and Dengtian Tower, you can't even come up with the first couplet, so what qualifications do you have to speak so arrogantly here?"

"It's just a couplet, what's so difficult to make? If you don't believe me, just ask them," said Huang Zhengxiang.

After saying "Ignorance", Li Xuan turned around and walked away, saying: "If the sky had feelings, it would also grow old; if the moon had no hatred, it would be full forever."

"How dare you come to Wushuang Tower to cause trouble? Get out of here and let the Lin family find someone more powerful."

"Who are you?" Huang Zhengxiang's face changed drastically, his eyes fixed on the figure. This second line of the couplet was even better than his, so the person who came was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Unparalleled, unparalleled in the world"

"Unparalleled"?

"Could it be Wushuang from Wushuang Tower?"

"No way, could it be that the mysterious man the master mentioned is him?"

Everyone was talking about it.

At this moment, the butler said loudly: "Congratulations Wushuang for the correct answer."

Huang Zhengxiang's face instantly turned pale as he heard these words, as if he'd been slapped in the face. His eyes widened, a mixture of disbelief and anger gleaming in them. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

Wushuang's appearance was like a small episode, causing a brief disturbance before everyone was captivated by the couplets in the fourth level...

When Li Xuan appeared at the princess's residence, the sun was about to set in the west.

Because of his good relationship with Princess Ping'an, it was convenient for the two to play together. His residence was close to the inner courtyard and his rank was higher than that of the steward.

As night fell, Li Xuan lay in bed soundly asleep. Suddenly, he realized something and opened his eyes abruptly. The next second, he fell into a coma...
