The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 209

As the figure approached, the floral fragrance emanating from that person became especially strong, truly evoking a sense of awe.

Li Bai closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath in the air.

He then looked at the graceful figure approaching with a smile and said, "A beautiful woman, attracting butterflies with her fragrance."

Xu Tian also realized that Li Bai was describing the woman as a blurry figure, resembling both a human and a butterfly, which made her seem even more mysterious and beautiful.

At this moment, the woman stopped behind the red tent, and said with a light laugh, "This young master has recited a fine poem, and not only that, he is also extremely dashing. He is truly a talented man."

After the woman finished speaking, someone came forward and handed something to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian picked it up and saw that it looked like a wooden plaque with the words "Drinking Game" engraved on it in neat regular script.

Behind this drinking game lies a love poem.

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment. He looked up at the woman and asked awkwardly, "Miss, what do you mean by this? We've only just met."

At this moment, some busybodies came over and, upon seeing the drinking game in Xu Tian's hand and the one or two lines of love poetry at the end, burst into laughter and said to Xu Tian, ​​"Master Xu, congratulations!"

Xu Tian was somewhat taken aback. "Young man, what are you congratulating me on?"

"Of course I congratulate Grand Tutor Xu on the marriage of your beautiful wife."

After this person finished speaking, other people rushed forward, and they all laughed heartily as they looked at the drinking game in Xu Tian's hand.

"This..." Xu Tian was still extremely embarrassed, not understanding what they were all laughing at.

After a long while, Li Bai patted him on the shoulder and explained, "Although this drinking game is a venue for poetry gatherings, drinking contests, and martial arts competitions, it's a little different this year. This year's drinking game leader is a woman, that very girl. And before the drinking game started, the lord said that whoever she gave the drinking game to would become her husband."

"Husband?!" Xu Tian was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

He never expected that he would be noticed by the leader of the drinking game just for showing off, and that he would become her husband. This was extremely embarrassing.

At this moment, behind the red gauze curtain, the person in charge of the drinking game chuckled, then asked with feigned grievance, "Grand Tutor Xu, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"I... how dare I, how dare I..." Xu Tian's temples throbbed.

"Since that's the case, then I have a gift for you today. Would you like to accept it?"

Although the tone of the Lord’s words was a question, several brightly dressed maids immediately came forward and handed him a red plate.

Now that he was in front of everyone, Xu Tian couldn't refuse directly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it, without even wanting to see what was on the plate.

To everyone's surprise, after seeing him accept the lock, the person who was holding the drinking game said directly, "Grand Tutor Xu, since you have accepted this love lock, does that mean you are willing to marry me?"

"A love lock? Marriage?!" Xu Tian's expression became even more complicated. "To be honest, I don't know what this thing in the dish is, and I have no intention of getting married at the moment."

He had thought that this explanation would be enough, but the host of the drinking game seemed unwilling to let him off the hook, and instead said to Xu Tian, ​​"But my heart is set on you..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone stepped forward and loudly interrupted her: "Grand Tutor Xu, I wish to have a duel with you!"

The crowd, who were just enjoying the show, turned to look when they were disturbed by the noise.
