I am a winner with Chinese poetry

As the saying goes, enemies become particularly jealous when they meet. When Qi Heng saw the person who was speaking, he immediately became energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He immediately retorted without giving in, and Fang Yuan, who was originally laughing happily, was so angry that his face twisted in an instant.

"You...what did you say?" Fang Yuan was so angry that his face turned blue. He didn't expect Qi Heng to dare to talk back like that. He was speechless for a moment.

Qi Heng sneered and continued, "Am I wrong? Aren't you just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun? Do you think you're so great? At least I have the courage to come down and help Miss Su Xun solve her problems. What about you? Humph, it's really ridiculous!"

Fang Yuan was so angry at Qi Heng's words that he was shaking all over. He tightly grasped the feather fan in his hand, and wanted to rush downstairs to slap Qi Heng a few times. However, he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, this was Qionghua Pavilion. If he really hit someone, the consequences would be more than he, a small member of the Fang family, could bear.

Seeing that Fang Yuan did not reply, Qi Heng knew that his words had touched Fang Yuan's sore spot, so he continued smugly: "How about it? Nothing to say, right? You'd better go home and read more books, so as not to embarrass yourself in the future!" After that, Qi Heng prepared to turn around and leave.

"You're looking for death!" Fang Yuan tightly gripped his feather fan, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. The two were of similar age and family background, and had been compared by others since childhood, but Fang Yuan had never won. When he grew up, the woman he liked fell in love with Qi Heng, so Fang Yuan exploded under new and old grudges. Whenever the two met, they would definitely fight, and their relationship was completely ruined.

"Gentlemen, please calm down. It's a rare opportunity for Miss Su Xun to perform at Qionghua Pavilion today!" Hua Erniang, the owner of Qionghua Pavilion, tried to smooth things over in a friendly manner. The two men looked at each other. Although there was still tension, neither of them was blinded by anger. Putting aside the fact that Su Xun was from the direct branch of the Su family in Langya County, the background of Qionghua Pavilion alone should not be underestimated.

The Qionghua Pavilion was opened by the Beichen royal family, and has branch pavilions in every county and state, which are directly controlled and appointed by the royal family. Every manager in charge of the Qionghua Pavilion is at least a fifth-rank scholar, and all have extraordinary backgrounds. Therefore, the two people who calmed down did not quarrel anymore, but tried to kill each other with their eyes.

"Shopkeeper Hua, I have no intention of causing trouble. I just can't stand people putting on airs. They clearly have no ability, but they're still wasting time!"

Fang Yuan also jumped down from the box on the second floor. As a descendant of a big family, he was so angry that he wanted to slap Qi Heng to death, but now he had regained his composure. He politely saluted Hua Er Niang as a junior, then opened his feather fan in a showy manner and smiled at Su Xun.

"What's the matter? I just wanted to help Miss Su solve her problems, but you've made me into a villain seeking attention? Don't you think everyone on stage today is a clown?"

Qi Heng glanced at Fang Yuan with disdain, then spoke loudly. The people in the audience who were originally laughing at the joke began to whisper when they heard his words.

"Yes, if Qi Heng is trying to attract attention by making a commotion, then aren't our actions also for the amusement of the public?"

"That's right, Fang Yuan is going too far!"

"He himself has no ability, yet he is still here slandering others!"

……

Some of the talented people who had previously gone on stage to try to get the award glared at Fang Yuan angrily. They felt insulted and looked down upon, their hearts burning with rage.

After all, up to now, no one has been able to produce an article or poem or music score that satisfies Su Xun. Fang Yuan's words were not only a scolding to Qi Heng, but also a slap in their faces.

"Please do not believe the nonsense of such treacherous people! I have absolutely no intention of disrespect. I just made a slip of the tongue. I sincerely apologize to you all! I hope you will forgive me!"

Fang Yuan was quite capable, knowing how to judge the situation and bend and stretch with ease. Without a word, he immediately bowed deeply to the audience to express his apology.

After all, he came from the famous Fang family. Although he was not the core elite offspring that the family focused on cultivating, he was at least considered a direct descendant of the Fang family.

After he humbled himself and apologized to everyone, the anger in their hearts instantly dissipated. No one was stern towards him anymore. Instead, they all took to watching the heated exchange with amusement, watching the heated exchange with great interest.

At this moment, Su Xun's expression on the stage gradually grew grim. The two guys' endless arguing was truly irritating to her, already feeling slightly disappointed that they had come here without any results. Hua Er Niang had already warned them earlier, but the two of them kept chattering on as if they had their own way.

"Please step off the stage and resume your debate at a suitable time. Whatever personal disputes you may have, they should be resolved privately. Today, Miss Su Xun has come here specifically to seek a glimmer of hope that could lead to a breakthrough!"

Hua Erniang spoke softly, a hint of authority in her words. Her eyebrows knitted slightly, and the smile that had been on her face faded a little.

It was not until this moment that Qi Heng and the other person realized, as if from a dream, that they had unknowingly fallen into a tit-for-tat confrontation as usual.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yuan quickly bowed to Hua Erniang and Su Xun to express his apology. Then, after glaring fiercely at Qi Heng with a hostile gaze, he resolutely turned around and walked down the stairs without hesitation, his movements appearing extremely decisive and sharp.

On the other hand, when Qi Heng saw that the goddess who was as cold and beautiful as a fairy in his mind was now having a stern face and an expression as cold as ice, he suddenly felt annoyed.

He thought to himself: "How could I be so reckless and impulsive? I actually quarreled with that annoying guy in public. Now it's bad. I'm afraid the goddess has regarded me as an uncultured person and must have a terrible impression of me... Alas! Things have come to this point, it's really too late to regret!" Thinking of this, Qi Heng was full of regret and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. I'll be down right away!" Qi Heng glanced at Su Xuan reluctantly and was about to leave. At this moment, Su Xuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, "Master Qi, I heard that Master Gu, who recently wrote Guanzhou poems and Zhenguo poems, is also here with you today. I'd like to ask Master Qi to introduce him to someone else!"
