I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Greetings, Mr. Xue!" After seeing the other person clearly, Master Jia's eyes flashed with a trace of awe, and then his expression quickly became respectful. He bowed slightly and saluted with a very pious attitude.

"It's Xiao Jia. Why did you suddenly come here?" Xue Daru smiled slightly, put down the brush in his hand, and motioned them to sit down and talk.

"I am here on the orders of Principal Yuan to escort Gu Yunzhou to the border for training!" Upon seeing this, Master Jia hurriedly bowed and saluted. Then he turned his gaze to Gu Yunzhou beside him and introduced him, "This is Gu Yunzhou, the student who came to the border for training." After that, he stood quietly aside waiting for the instructions of Master Xue.

Xue Daru smiled gently, waved his hand and motioned Master Jia to sit down, then looked at Gu Yunzhou and asked, "Gu Yunzhou, is that the little fellow who caused the heaven and earth to question their conscience? I also received a letter from Yuan Shanzhang. So, you don't have to go to Yuanshan Pass. Since you want to train, you can stay at Qilian Pass. I'll be here to look after him!"

As soon as these words came out, Master Jia suddenly looked up at Master Xue, his eyes full of disbelief and joy.

"Yunzhou, hurry up and thank Mr. Xue!" After Master Jia came to his senses, he quickly called Gu Yunzhou over.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhou hurried forward and bowed respectfully to the great scholar Xue, saying, "I am Gu Yunzhou, the junior, and I would like to meet the great scholar Xue. I am very grateful for your careful care. It is indeed a great honor for me!" His attitude was extremely respectful, showing his respect and humility for this great scholar of the Academy of Literature.

Xue Daru nodded slightly, with approval in his eyes, and slowly said: "Good boy, there is no need to be so polite. Now I see that your cultivation has been consolidated, and your aura has become more condensed. It is really gratifying that you are about to break through. Don't go on any missions for the next few days, and calm down with me!" Xue Daru's words startled Master Jia, who was sitting down, and made him stand up again, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Yunzhou, you are about to break through again!" Master Jia's voice was excited, and he even threw his usual calmness to the wind.

It was no wonder that he was so surprised. If one calculated carefully, it had only been less than three months since the literary energy entered Gu Yunzhou's body. If one included the time when he successfully broke through to the ninth level last time, the total time had been less than two months.

You know, people often say that the higher the level of cultivation for Confucianists, the more difficult it becomes. Could it be that he is practicing a fake Confucianism? Master Jia fell into deep suspicion of his son.

"I just noticed it in the past one or two days!" Gu Yunzhou looked at Xue Daru in surprise. This man was so amazing that he could see through his background with just one glance.

"This, this, is unbelievable! If the dean knew about this, he would probably laugh like crazy!" Master Jia muttered to himself, his face full of trance.

"Xiao Jia, there's really no need to be so surprised. Have you ever thought about why this unique talent, which is achieved by questioning one's heart and soul and inducing literary energy to enter the body, is so rare that it can only be seen once every century? The fundamental reason is that only those with extremely extraordinary talent are capable of doing it. So, for someone with such astonishing talent, it's not surprising that he can achieve a realm of advancement that others would struggle to achieve in a lifetime, even in just a few months."

Xue Daru smiled gently, and his smile was full of gentleness and tolerance. He did not show any blame for Master Jia's previous misconduct.

"Alas, I am too narrow-minded, like a frog in a well. You are right. For those true geniuses, we must never arbitrarily infer and measure their abilities and achievements with the eyes and thinking of ordinary people."

Master Jia sighed helplessly and shook his head slowly, as if regretting his earlier overreaction. He then decisively ended the topic, which had been weighing on his mind, not wanting to delve further into it.

However, even though he tried hard to conceal his inner emotions, one could still clearly see that his originally slightly uplifted expression gradually turned a little lonely, as if there was a trace of regret in his heart that he couldn't release. However, it didn't take long for him to quickly adjust his state of mind and regain his previous calm and indifference.

"Xiao Jia, go and take Yunzhou to stay first, and come back to me later. As for these two, thank you for your escort along the way. Now that the mission is completed, you can go back at any time!" Xue Daru gave the order in a light tone. His expression was obviously a little colder towards Uncle Cai and Old Huang.

"Mr. Xue, you are too polite. This is our duty. Mr. Gu, our mission has been successfully completed. We will not bother you any more. If you have anything to ask after returning to Jinzhou County, please feel free to tell us. We will definitely do our best and will never shirk our responsibilities!"

Uncle Cai and the other two have been waiting quietly near the gate since they came in, looking very restrained. It's no wonder they are like this, because this is a great scholar of the fourth rank, a big man they need to look up to. When they heard the other party talking to them, they immediately responded respectfully.

"Mr. Xue, I will take my leave now. I will come back to listen to your teachings after I have settled down!" Gu Yunzhou also took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Xue Daru nodded gently, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write something again with his head down.

Several people stopped talking and quietly left the room. After walking some distance, Old Huang finally couldn't help but whispered, "Huh, I've heard that Mr. Xue from your Jinzhou County Academy of Literature is famous. Today I finally have the honor to see him with my own eyes. His righteousness and majesty are really shocking. I was so nervous just now that I didn't dare to speak easily!" After that, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wipe the fine beads of sweat that had quietly seeped out of his forehead.

"Nonsense! This is a genuine 4th-rank scholar. I heard he's at the peak of the 4th rank and has a good chance of breaking through to the 3rd-rank Void Saint. Wow, I've finally seen it today. Even his ordinary movements and words reveal a unique literary charm!"

Uncle Cai also had a rare look of excitement on his face. Although they were the guards of the Wei family, the most powerful people they had seen were only of the 5th or 6th level of cultivation. They had never seen a strong man who was about to break through to the Void Saint. They were intimidated by his aura and only dared to discuss in a low voice until now.

"That's because Master Xue has already stepped halfway into the 3rd rank, so his aura and literary grace are bound to falter sometimes. Don't worry, Master Xue is a true Confucian scholar, calm and fair. Thinking back to when I first entered the Academy of Literature, I was fortunate enough to be taught by Master Xue himself for a period of time. It's a pity that my talent is too dull, and so many years have passed, and now I am still just an insignificant 6th rank Confucian scholar!"
