The poetry gathering continued, and Chu Luobai, relying on his memories from his previous life, recited every single poem that Mu Yurou had memorized.

Each poem was stunning, attracting the attention of countless Confucian and Taoist practitioners.

Chu Luobai shone brightly, while Mu Yurou, lacking in literary talent, found herself relegated to a corner after all her poems were taken.

After the poetry gathering, not only did he fail to get on board with Feng Xiuquan's big ship, he didn't even get a glance from him.

Seeing Mu Yurou slink away from Cuiqing Tower, Chu Luobai accepted the system's reward in high spirits.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and receiving the mission reward: A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains.]

This is....

Chu Luobai looked at the scroll in his hand, but there was no trace of spiritual energy on it.

This isn't exactly a useful magic weapon, so why would the system give me something like this?

Before Chu Luobai could figure it out, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

The servant's respectful voice came from outside the door.

"Distinguished guests, the owner of Cuiqinglou cordially invites you to the fifth floor for a chat."

coming.

Chu Luobai and Qiu Lin exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

As soon as the poetry gathering ended, Feng Xiuquan couldn't wait to come to his door.

It seems that the struggle for the throne in the Tianyuan Dynasty has reached an extremely fierce stage.

Feng Xiuquan is now so unwilling to even put on a show that he's directly coming to Feng Xiuquan's door to curry favor.

"What did Senior Sister say?"

Qiu Lin knew very well that he was just benefiting from the situation.

Whether or not to go is up to Chu Luobai to decide.

"Of course I want to go."

In his past life, when he was being hunted down, Feng Xiuquan secretly helped him a lot.

Now that Mu Yurou, who had been advising him, had been driven away by him, Chu Luobai wanted to see just how capable Feng Xiuquan really was.

.................................................. ...

Outside Cuiqing Tower.

All the disciples of the sect looked at Cuiqing Tower with reluctance.

There was no other reason than that the poem written by the fairy Chu Luobai was truly moving and unforgettable.

As the saying goes, "Everyone has their own unique talents, and even if you spend all your money, it will come back again."

As the saying goes, "Lying awake at night, I hear the wind and rain, and dream of iron horses and icy rivers!"

Just listening to it made their blood boil, and they couldn't shake the feeling for a long time.

Such a radiant fairy could compose such bold and unrestrained verses.

If I could drink three cups with her and receive some guidance from her, I would surely be able to walk more smoothly on the path of Confucianism and Taoism in the future.

Unfortunately....

The Confucian scholars' gazes fell on the top floor of Cuiqing Tower.

Cuiqinglou, the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city, has five floors.

From bottom to top, the more prestigious and powerful a person is, the higher the floor they can access.

The fifth floor of Cuiqing Tower can only be accessed by an invitation from the owner behind Cuiqing Tower, namely Feng Xiuquan, the second prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

"Presumably, that Fairy Chu has already been invited to the fifth floor by now?"

A young man dressed in a light blue Confucian robe said.

"That's natural. Once a poem is completed, one can draw qi into the body and become a scholar. The world is vast, and a small Tianyuan Dynasty probably can't hold onto this Fairy Chu."

"Keep them? I'm afraid those supreme powers have already sent their elders to snatch them away."

"The Azure Cloud Sword Sect wouldn't release them, would they?"

"This time, the Poet Saint's Secret Realm is going to be quite a show."

The Confucian scholars discussed their conversation as they gradually walked away.

Xiao Xuancheng, who had just bought the item by the roadside, had a hint of doubt in his eyes when he heard this.

Qingyun Sword Sect, Fairy Chu?

Could they be talking about that woman, Chu Luobai?

But apart from growing up on Xiaoyao Peak since childhood, I have never heard of him having any Confucian or Taoist talent.

However, among the Sword Sect disciples who came this time, apart from Chu Luobai, there was no other disciple with the surname Chu.

.......................................

Cuiqing Tower, fifth floor.

Although I was prepared to be amazed before going upstairs.

But when Chu Luobai saw the luxurious decorations on the fifth floor with her own eyes, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The decorative lanterns hanging on the door alone were made of the finest gold-threaded silk cloth, each bolt worth a fortune.

Not to mention the luminous pearls embedded in the walls, each one priceless.

Even the maid leading the way was dressed in expensive clothes.

This extravagant scene truly dazzled Chu Luobai and Qiu Lin, two sword sect disciples who were penniless.

"Senior sister, Feng Xiuquan is so rich."

"Yeah, junior brother, he's really rich."

"Senior sister, I have an idea..."

"Junior brother, don't think about it. The Qingyun Sword Sect is a reputable and righteous sect. We'll come back another time."

The two couldn't help but secretly communicate using a secret technique, exclaiming to each other in admiration.

"It is truly an honor for me that you two have come today."

The maid led the two to a table and then respectfully withdrew.

Behind the desk, Feng Xiuquan, who had specially changed into a white robe, slowly turned around and said gently.

He had hoped to leave a good impression on Chu Luobai.

Unexpectedly, the two people in front of him were both focused on the mahogany table in front of him and did not notice his presence at all.

"Senior sister, a table made of thousand-year-old cedar wood! It's worth fifty thousand gold!"

"Fifty thousand gold coins, how many spirit herbs can that be exchanged for?"

In the telepathic communication, Chu Luobai and Qiu Lin were having a frantic discussion about the value of the table in front of them.

It wasn't until Feng Xiuquan coughed heavily that the two of them snapped out of their daze.

"Young Master Feng, your desk is quite nice."

Chu Luobai smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"These are just some low-class things. If Fairy Chu likes them, please feel free to take them."

Feng Xiuquan waved his hand generously, displaying a rather magnanimous manner.

You just give away something worth 50,000 gold coins like that?

No wonder he was Mu Yurou's biggest sucker in her past life.

"Since Young Master Feng has such a kind offer, then I will accept it without hesitation."

It's foolish not to take advantage of a bargain, especially when it belongs to your enemy.

Chu Luobai raised his hand and directly put the table made of thousand-year-old fragrant cedar wood into his storage ring.

Feng Xiuquan didn't expect that his casual remark would actually lead to Chu Luobai taking the items.

It's unbelievable that there are women in this world who have no sense of propriety at all.

For a moment, Feng Xiuquan even doubted whether he had mistaken the person for someone else.

How could a genius who could compose poetry with a single stroke, whose verses could stir the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, be so... greedy for money?

"I wonder what business Young Master Feng has with us here?"

Chu Luobai was overjoyed to have gotten a desk worth 50,000 gold coins for free, and even the smile on his face became more genuine.

A look of amazement flashed in Feng Xiuquan's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and put on the expression of a gentle young master once again.

"I have long heard that the disciples of Qingyun Sword Sect are all outstanding individuals, and today I have met you two, and you are indeed extraordinary."

"Especially during the poetry gathering, Fairy Chu possessed a beauty and grace that I, Feng, had never seen before."
