"Brother Ji is right, Xiao Jiyuan, if you can't come up with a poem, you might as well just say so."
"That's right, Sister Qingying is the most talented woman in the royal city. There are not many people who can match her. Your martial arts talent is good, but you are good at writing? Let's forget it."
"Hahaha... Xiao Jiyuan, if you can't do it, it's okay to ask someone to help. But what do you mean when you look so embarrassed? Do you think sister Qingying is not worthy?"
"Hey, in my opinion, Xiao Jiyuan's admiration for sister Qingying is just lip service. There is no real evidence. Instead of letting you waste your time, it is better to leave it to Ji Aonan..."
As soon as the words fell here, the surrounding laughter immediately started.
None of the busybodies seemed to want Xiao Jiyuan to steal the spotlight, but collectively stood by Ji Aonan's side.
There is no other reason.
Just because Ji Aonan is also a member of the eight major families, and the Ji family's strength is relatively high among the eight major families, many of these noble sons are naturally willing to step on Xiao Jiyuan and praise Ji Aonan's bad feet.
In addition, the people present were not stupid, so they could naturally see that Ji Aonan was also interested in Lou Qingying. They were both members of the eight major families, so of course they were well-matched, and they were a good couple in everyone's eyes.
One of them, Lu Mingda, also stood up and said: "If you look closely at Lou Qingying's painting, you will see that it is quite extraordinary. If there is a good poem inscribed on the painting, given time, it will definitely be passed down through the ages. It will become a famous painting in the royal city."
Then he looked at Xiao Jiyuan and said disdainfully: "You are a martial arts idiot. In terms of force, you may have few opponents among the same level. But... on the matter of writing poems, it is better to give up. If it is a waste Can you afford the consequences of seeing Sister Qingying's masterpiece?"
"Lu Mingda's words are very kind!"
When Ji Aonan saw someone coming out to help him, he immediately added: "Xiao Jiyuan, don't think that it's great that you won third place in the Immortal Ascension Competition. Let me tell you, this kind of ability is nothing among our eight major families. Don’t forget, Jun Tiance is from our eight major families, and he is second in the Immortal Competition!!!”
What he said was telling the truth.
Whether they are first, second, or even third in the Immortal Competition, it really doesn't matter in front of their eight major families. At most, it just shows that these three people are extremely talented and rank among the top three in the Holy Empire. That's all.
But the eight major families are completely different.
Not only are there countless masters in the clan, there are also many strong ones, and they can be included in the eight major families of the Holy Empire. Which family is ordinary?
If it weren't for the Immortal Ascension Competition, most of the eight major families wouldn't bother to participate. I'm afraid that Xiao Jiyuan might not be ranked third now, but he might be ranked outside the tenth place. It's possible.
"Okay, Ji Aonan, Lu Mingda, please stop talking. Xiao Jiyuan agreed to write poems before, just for my sake, without any selfish motives. Isn't it a little too much for you to say this about him?"
The more Lou Qingying listened, the more disappointed her eyes became, but she did not show it, but helped Xiao Jiyuan to explain, so that Xiao Jiyuan would not become the target of public criticism and be bombarded by everyone.
But she didn't say it was okay. Such a mention immediately made Ji Aonan and others even more excited.
"Sister Qingying, what are you talking about? This is what a gentleman does to honor someone's promise and be loyal to them! And what about Xiao Jiyuan? This guy obviously agreed to write a poem for you, but now what? ? Not only did he not make any move for a while, but he also planned to prevaricate. Isn’t this a lie? "
Ji Aonan suddenly raised his voice and said deliberately.
In an instant, many people inside and outside the house heard it, and they all cast disdainful eyes on Xiao Jiyuan alone.
"Yes, Xiao Jiyuan's move is clearly a lie, and he is a big liar."
Lu Mingda echoed and immediately spoke out in agreement: "If Xiao Jiyuan is not good, just say it in advance. You have read poetry and books, which one of you is not a person with both talent and talent? Even if I am shameless, I will inscribe it for Miss Lou A poem, that's fine, so why waste time here and waste our youth and patience? Could it be that Xiao Jiyuan's time is precious, and my time waiting is wasted?"
A word between the two of them can be said to have plunged Xiao Jiyuan's situation into an abyss, making him unable to raise his head again in front of Lou Qingying.
Originally, Lou Qingying had a good impression of Xiao Jiyuan. He was also handsome, with a jade tree facing the wind. He had the feeling of a good young man in a troubled world, and there were some signs of secret love.
When everyone said this, a feeling of being cheated suddenly arose in Lou Qingying's heart. Not only did his good impression of Xiao Jiyuan disappear all of a sudden, but a bit of disgust could not be suppressed in his heart. There is a bit of intention to leave.
As the legitimate daughter of one of the eight major families, there are countless people pursuing Lou Qingying every day. If she had to queue up, she would probably have to queue outside the city gate.
After finally meeting the one he loved, he turned out to be a liar. How could this make Lou Qingying feel so embarrassed?
"Sister Qingying, that's not the case. When I promised to write the poem, I did not do it myself, but hired a helper. I believe that as soon as that person arrives, you will never be disappointed."
Xiao Jiyuan's situation became more and more intense, and he couldn't hold it any longer. He was even more anxious in his heart. Why didn't that guy Qin Dong show up?
Could it be that this guy broke the appointment? Let yourself go?
If that were the case, that would be really embarrassing.
Once this misunderstanding is formed, it will be difficult to see Lou Qingying again, let alone write poems.
"You said...you hired help? What about others?"
Lou Qingying looked around, but saw no one standing on Xiao Jiyuan's side. He couldn't help but sighed and thought to himself, how could this Xiao Jiyuan, who looked like a jade tree facing the wind, tell lies and not blush at all?
Could it be that she, Lou Qingying, was so stupid that he could easily deceive her if he wanted to?
"Yes, Xiao Jiyuan, didn't you say you hired help? What about others? Don't tell us that this person is a transparent person. He has already arrived, but he is just a ball of air, right? Hahaha..."
Ji Aonan didn't bother to laugh. It was now like this. If someone still chose to help Xiao Jiyuan, then this person was either a fool or a piece of air.
If not, how could it be so late and still not show up?
Just one sentence made Xiao Jiyuan's face turn red, and he seemed to turn into a piece of pig liver in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the rest of the people also burst into laughter, treating Xiao Jiyuan as a joke.
Unfortunately, the next second, everyone's laughter suddenly stopped, as if someone had strangled their necks, and stopped suddenly.
I saw a man in a black robe and cloak, who suddenly stepped into the small building like a big horse and a golden sword. He appeared in front of everyone in a low-key yet elegant manner.
Immediately afterwards, the visitor took off his cloak and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I forgot the time while practicing, so I'm a step late, please forgive me!"
