I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Thank you all for your kindness, but I really have no intention of extracting any objects or abilities from Miss Shuiqing. This is just a relaxing and enjoyable little game, and the effort and reward are hard to compare. Besides, this is just for fun, why take it seriously? Therefore, please forgive me for refusing this extraction!" Gu Yunzhou's words were sincere and forceful, and he simply did not agree to the extraction.

Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed the faces of the other people present, followed by a moment of bewilderment. Even within that expression was a fleeting glimmer of panic.

Gu Yunzhou's eyes darkened slightly, not missing the fleeting details. This made him even more certain of his inner speculation.

Just as everyone was still stunned, an unexpected voice of opposition suddenly rang out: "This is absolutely unacceptable! This is the rule we established beforehand. How can we easily break it? Now that the winner has been determined, the winner naturally has the right to draw the loser's abilities. This is a matter of course! How can we overturn the rules we have followed for so long just because of your personal opinion, Master Gu?"

Unexpectedly, the first to fiercely object was Xing Tian, ​​who had just had his powers drained away by Shui Qing. His eyes were wide open, his face filled with rage as he glared at Gu Yunzhou fiercely, his demeanor fierce and tense, as if he would not hesitate to attack him if he said even the slightest disobedience.

"That's right, Master Gu, you must understand that rules are rules, and they can't be broken casually just because you're kindhearted. Besides, Shui Qing is truly extraordinary! Although she looks young, she's actually been practicing for over two hundred years! Over that long period of time, she must have amassed countless precious treasures! For example, I know of a Red Sun Fruit that's over five hundred years old! That's incredibly rare, a true celestial treasure!"

Seeing that Gu Yunzhou remained indifferent, the old man couldn't help but offer his consolation. However, unlike Xing Tian's naked threats, his attitude was quite good, even appearing particularly warm and generous. He even went out of his way to reveal to him the treasure in Shui Qing's hand.

"That's right, Master Gu. Look at this little girl. Although her methods are a bit ruthless, you have to admit that her luck is incredible! Not to mention her extremely rare Tianshui body, from what I've learned, she actually successfully obtained a method called 'Breaking Delusion and Rectifying the Heart' from someone else! You know, this method is of great help to Confucian scholars, especially those who have already achieved high-level cultivation! After all, as the rank continues to rise, each attempt to make further progress becomes as difficult as ascending to heaven. With this method, the chance of failure can be reduced by at least 50%! Especially for Confucian scholars with high-level cultivation, the breakthrough is like adding wings to a tiger!"

Dieyi also offered a benefit that, in her opinion, no one else could refuse. You know, the higher the grade, the more difficult it is to break through.

With this method of breaking delusion and rectifying the mind, the failure rate can be reduced by at least half. As a Confucian, no one can refuse this glaring carrot.

However, surprisingly, despite such an alluring offer, Gu Yunzhou still wore that faint smile, appearing gentle, amiable, and easy to get along with. But his words were firm and uncompromising, leaving no room for negotiation: "I'm sorry, I still choose to refuse!" Hearing this, Dieyi, who had been full of anticipation, was stunned and momentarily unable to react.

Shui Qing had also come back to her senses by then, her eyes slightly reddened as she cried and said aggrievedly, "Wuwuwu...Brother Gu, it seems we've misunderstood you! It turns out you've always been on my side, you truly are the best person to me! But what everyone else said is true, since the rules of this game have already been established, we have to follow them! So, Brother Gu, you'd better hurry over and draw. Even if you do draw someone else's Heavenly Water Body or Delusion-Breaking Righteous Heart, they won't blame you!"

I have to say that this woman is really fickle. Just now she looked like she wanted to strangle him to death, but now she is so humble and pitiful.

However, facing this situation, Gu Yunzhou not only did not show any mercy, but instead became even more vigilant. Because he knew that there would be no such thing as a free lunch, and behind all the benefits in front of him must be a huge conspiracy.

He absolutely refused to believe that such absurd things could exist in the world—that one could easily achieve success without any effort, or even directly plunder others' abilities and take them for oneself. This kind of thing was beyond the scope of ordinary literary skills, and even the legendary literary saint himself might not be able to accomplish it.

At this moment, the gloomy man suddenly slammed the beads he had been playing with on the table. With a crisp "pop" sound, he stood up suddenly, glared at Gu Yunzhou fiercely, and shouted: "You don't want to take advantage of me when I give you face? Why are you talking so much to him? Just hold him down and extract the beads!" As he spoke, a violent aura emanated from him, as if he might attack at any time.

"That's right, what's the point of wasting so much time? It's just a complete waste of our time! Don't forget, there are still five rounds to go. If we delay any further, this extremely precious Burning Heaven Incense will burn out!"

Xing Tian was the first to agree, his tone urgent, clearly anxious about the current situation. He stood up as he spoke, his tall figure looking extremely oppressive.

Upon seeing this, the old men looked at each other and fell silent. However, the gentleness in their eyes when they looked at Gu Yunzhou was no longer there, but was replaced by coldness and indifference.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Gu Yunzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. He glanced at the people in front of him and said slowly, "The world is so big, and there are all kinds of strange things! In my long life, this is the first time I've seen someone forcibly forcing others to accept benefits! Your behavior makes me more and more convinced that this so-called benefit is probably a deadly poison wrapped in a sweet coat. Humph, in that case, I don't want to play this game!"

After saying this, Gu Yunzhou stood up from his seat without hesitation, and made a gesture to turn around and leave. However, the moment he stood up, his muscles tensed up, because he knew that these people would never let him go easily, so he had to remain vigilant in case they suddenly attacked.
