"Stop clamoring all the time. Didn't you come looking for me? I'm here, and I want to challenge you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?" Gu Yunzhou waved his hand in a relaxed manner, and with one sentence he stopped Sun Zening's subsequent shouting.

"You are Gu Yunzhou!" Sun Zening looked at the other party with gritted teeth, then suddenly smiled, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said disdainfully: "Just because you are an ungrateful villain, I don't even bother to fight with you!" After that, he put his hands behind his back and put on a condescending attitude.

"Tsk tsk, you speak so righteously, are you afraid? But I won't laugh at you. After all, you really can't compare with me in poetry!" Gu Yunzhou looked at the other party with deliberate sarcasm, his eyes full of contempt.

After hearing this, Sun Zening's face instantly turned gloomy, and the anger in his heart became even more difficult to suppress. He had originally had some concerns, but at this moment, he was overwhelmed by anger and completely lost his mind.

"You little brat, you have such a sharp mouth. Today I want to see your talent and see if it is as powerful as your mouth!" Sun Zening glared at Gu Yunzhou, with jealousy and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then said coldly, "Since you are so confident, let's have a fair competition. You ask the questions, I answer them, and let's see who is more talented!"

Sun Zening felt a little regretful as soon as he said it. As the saying goes, a man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Gu Yunzhou was able to be reported in the newspaper, which showed that he was indeed talented. He did not dare to guarantee that he could really surpass him.

"Haha, since Master Sun has already laid out the rules, I won't be polite. However, the conditions need to be slightly modified. I'm not interested in your family's earth-level cultural treasure. All you need to do is, if you lose, loudly admit in front of everyone that you're blind, unskilled, and a complete bully who only fears the strong!"

Gu Yunzhou's tongue was as sharp as a knife, and his words were so infuriating that Sun Zening's face turned livid. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, but he realized that the hazy mist around him, which had been visible when he was concentrating and calming his mind, had now become unstable due to the momentum it had accumulated along the way.

"Oh no, the aura surrounding Zening is in chaos!" The expressions of Sun Zening's bodyguards, that is, the group of people sent by the Sun family to look after him, changed drastically. The old man in the lead did not have time to speak, and appeared between the two of them in a flash.

"Zening, concentrate and calm your mind!" the old man shouted. The panic on Sun Zening's face flashed away, and then he suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and tried to calm his mind.

Seeing this, the old man turned around and looked at Gu Yunzhou deeply: "Young man, don't be too impulsive in your words and actions. Our Sun family is not comparable to the Gu family in small Liuyun Town!"

The meaning of this statement is very clear. Don't get carried away just because you dealt with Gu Jin and his son so easily. The Sun family is not something that a small fry can compare to. If you're smart, admit your mistake quickly.

Gu Yunzhou sneered inwardly after hearing this, but on the surface he looked at the other person calmly. He knew that the old man was trying to scare him with his family background.

"Does this count as hitting the younger and then the older?" Gu Yunzhou completely ignored the threat in the other's words, his lips curled up slightly in a disdainful smile. He knew that if he retreated today, not only would he not be able to gain true peace, but he would be labeled a coward and incompetent, and he would never be able to hold his head up again. In that case, why not just be more high-profile? Don't you, Sun Zening, like this? Then it will be as you wish.

"Our Sun family hasn't fallen so far as to bully a mere 10th-rank Confucian scholar. If this gets out, people will just laugh at us. You're maliciously provoking Zening, relying on your poetic talent to take advantage of him. But our Sun family isn't stupid. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world for doing this?"

The old man righteously accused Gu Yunzhou, his face full of anger. Gu Yunzhou looked at the old man in front of him, secretly laughing in his heart, and he almost believed what he said.

The old man's accusation seemed reasonable, but in reality, it was full of loopholes. Was the Sun family really just afraid of being ridiculed and not taking action? Perhaps they were more afraid of him.

What a complete double standard! On the one hand, he lets Sun Zening rely on his seventh-grade peak cultivation to deliberately pick a fight; and then he turns around and accuses others of breaking the rules. Is it true that only the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps? Gu Yunzhou was almost laughed out of anger. His face became colder, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth: "After all, aren't you afraid of the poetry competition between me and Sun Zening? In this case, I will do as you wish. Otherwise, if you lose later, you will accuse me of bullying!"

Hearing this, the old man's face turned pale and red, but in the end, a hint of joy took over. He immediately shouted, "You asked for this! I thought you were young and talented, so I wanted to let you go. But you insisted on coming here to seek death and humiliation, so I will grant you your wish! Tell me, what do you want to compete for?"

"Hey, why do I remember it was Sun Zening who was on stage? Did I hear it wrong? Are you the one setting up the match?" Gu Yunzhou asked in a puzzled manner. As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter.

“You…!!!” The old man’s face instantly turned pale again, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

"Third Uncle, this kid is sharp-tongued. You don't need to argue with him. Let me do it! Gu Yunzhou, whatever you want to compete in, I, Sun Zening, will accompany you to the end!" Sun Zening, who was originally regulating his breathing, opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yunzhou with a frosty face. The old man saw that Sun Zening's breathing had stabilized, and he felt relieved and said no more. He just gave him a subtle wink, then walked aside and said no more.

"Let's put it this way. You don't have the courage to compete in poetry, so even if I win, it would be an unfair victory. Let me think... let's just compete in a simple couplet competition. You won't refuse this again, right?" Gu Yunzhou's eyes were full of mockery. Sun Zening clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and the blue veins on his neck were exposed.

"As you wish!" Sun Zening no longer concealed his murderous intent towards Gu Yunzhou. He gave him a deep look as if he were looking at a dead man, then said coldly, "You are the challenger, you go first. Whoever loses will be the loser, and the loser will need to kowtow and kneel down to apologize!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sun. Let me think..." Gu Yunzhou smiled confidently and calmly. He looked away from Sun Zening and slowly looked around, as if searching for inspiration. When his gaze fell on the sun setting in the distance, a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
