Chu Tian Ge was puzzled and said, "How come you all look like this? Qing Li wrote the poem so quickly, isn't it good?"
An old man with a mountain goat mustache shook his head and said, "Young Miss doesn't understand. Although Young Master Guo’s topic was common, the more common it is, the harder it is. If you want to win, you must be creative. The girl wrote it so quickly. Obviously, if she had simply written one, or changed a couple of verses of her predecessors. In this case, how can she compare with the talent of Genius Guo? It is impossible! "
Several other old scholars kept nodding.
"En, my good brother’s remarks are very reasonable!"
"My admiration for you is endless!"
Chu Tian Ge listened to their upset, "Shut it!"
"Tch, it doesn’t mean that Ye Qingli has definitely lost, not to forget, she hasn't come up with a topic yet. Maybe she could come up with a difficult topic and trouble the opponent?"
The old scholar nodded, "That makes sense. It’s just that does that girl know any hard questions?"
Chu Tian Ge suddenly thought of something and got excited.
"Why don’t you help me think of something difficult quick! I’ll suggest it to her!"
When several people were scratching their ears and scratching their heads, Ye Qingli had started speaking.
"Okay, then I will give you a question."
Guo Bin smiled conceitedly, "Please ask away."
He was ready for Ye Qingli’s question.
In his opinion, no matter how difficult the subject is, it is impossible for it to trouble him!
Surprisingly, Ye Qingli also pointed her finger out the window.
"Since you gave me an easy topic, I can't take advantage of you, therefore, I will give you the same question. Just take the river outside as your topic and compose a poem!"
Everyone was surprised.
"Is there something wrong with her head?"
"How could she miss out on such an opportunity?"
"Yes, this kind of problem is not difficult for Brother Guo at all!"
"Or maybe she feels that she has no hope of winning and is trying to make herself look worse?"
"Yes, that must be the case! She knows that no matter how difficult the topic is, it is impossible to trouble Brother Guo, so she just simply came up with a simple one. This is just so that she would make herself look generous."
"I see, she knew that she couldn’t win and she just pretended to be generous!"
"Yes, this behavior, in our eyes, is just like the clown jumping up and down, it is really ridiculous!"
Someone then shouted.
"Girl, you can’t win, just surrender already! Admit defeat!"
Ye Qingli didn't seem to hear it. She smiled and said, "Young Master Guo, please answer the question."
Guo Bin only reacted at this moment.
His reaction is the same as the others, he thinks that Ye Qingli must have known that she simply could not win and has given up.
He snorted heavily in his mind.
"Hmph! Are you trying to ask for mercy by doing that? This is a pity, you’ve miscalculated!"
This question was originally given by him. Naturally, he already had an abdominal draft for it. Without hesitation, he took a big brush and started writing.
The two old teachers took a look at it and compared the works of the two together. They smiled and said, "It seems that the competition already has a conclusion. Isn't that right, Brother Duan?"
Mr. Duan said while stroking his beard, "Yes, in my opinion, the gap is clear. Not only us but anyone who read these two poems will be able to make a judgement, isn’t that right, Brother Ni?"
