Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 429

Chapter 427 Just tell me whether it’s fast or not

In the country of gentlemen, Shushan Society is a big force that is as famous as the Gentlemen Society. It also has the support of Confucianism. The two are fighting openly and secretly, and the people around them have long been accustomed to it.

The people of the Gentlemen Society rushed to the territory of Shushan Society with sticks, swords, guns and various spiritual treasures.

Jiang Li felt strange and whispered to Bai Hongtu: “It looks like they are going to fight? This doesn’t seem like the behavior of a gentleman.”

Bai Hongtu looked like he knew it all along: “It must be that the country of gentlemen established by Dong Zhongren is imperfect. The people here seem to be reasonable, but when it comes to something, they still fight with fists.”

Seeing that the three-person group of gentlemen came over aggressively, Shushan Society was not a pushover either. They came out with all kinds of spiritual treasures to confront the Gentlemen Society, and their momentum was not inferior.

“You scoundrels wearing monkey hats, you kidnapped students from our Three Men’s Gentlemen’s Society! Why don’t you return them now?”

On the way here, the Confucian cultivators roughly understood what had happened. The Shushan Society had invited several students from the Gentlemen’s Society to visit and study. Half a day later, members of the Shushan Society came forward and said that several students were willing to join their Shushan Society.

“Bah, how shameless! What do you mean by kidnapping? It’s obvious that the best birds choose the best trees. Several students found our Shushan Society’s treatment good and voluntarily joined us.” “

What can you offer? My Three Men’s Gentlemen’s Society will double it!”

“No homework after school!” The Shushan Society member smirked.

Everyone knew that your Gentlemen’s Society had the most homework, often copying the words of Confucian sages ten times.

“…You are shameless! The Confucian sages said that learning requires reviewing the old in order to understand the new. How dare you not assign homework?”

“The Confucian sages also said that teaching should be tailored to the student’s aptitude. Who says that homework is the only way to review the old and understand the new? We teach our students by example.”

“Quibbling.”

“Incompetent and furious.”

The conflict between the Gentlemen’s Society and the Book Mountain Society intensified. Various spiritual treasures hummed, spiritual energy surged, and a battle was imminent. A thick aura of murderous intent filled the air.

“It seems that there will be no conclusion today without a winner!” The Confucian cultivators raged.

“Come on, who’s afraid of who?” The Book Mountain Society was undeterred. The highest among them was at the Nascent Soul stage, and their overall cultivation was higher than that of the Gentlemen’s Society.

Just as Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu thought a fight was about to break out, the Confucian cultivators said,

“Same old rules, poetry competition.”

“Come on.”

Both sides put down their spiritual treasures and took out the four treasures of the study, ready to grind ink and compose poems.

“???”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were confused about what happened, and stepped forward to ask, “Brother, you showed us your magic treasures, why did you put them away again?”

The Confucian cultivator laughed, “We are gentlemen, how can we brandish swords and guns and decide the outcome with blood?”

“Then why did you take the magic treasures?”

“To show off.”

The Confucian cultivator then suggested, “You two are also members of my Gentlemen’s Club, why don’t you have a competition?”

“Our poetry skills may be average, we just have a fast speed of reciting poems.”

“My Tang family is said to have 300 Tang poems, but I did not inherit my father’s talent, and my poetry writing skills are limited.”

The Confucian cultivator laughed, “It’s okay, it’s okay, the important thing is to participate. If those students really want to stay in the Book Mountain Club, we respect their wishes. The only thing in the competition now is that they can’t lose.”

For the sake of fairness, the Gentlemen’s Club chooses the specific content of the competition, and the Book Mountain Club sets the questions.

The Confucian cultivator spoke softly, “Poetry is a natural gift, a gift of chance. Creating a classic poem on the spot is unrealistic. Composing a poem based on an object easily results in overly elaborate phrases, which are superficial and unsubstantial, and will be laughed at if shared publicly. So, let’s lower the difficulty and compete in quick verse. You come up with the first half, and we’ll take the second. If we can’t come up with the second half within ten breaths, we lose.”

Shushanhui agreed immediately, “Okay. But I’d like to add one condition.”

“What?”

“These two brothers look unfamiliar. They must be recent recruits to your Gentlemen’s Society. If you lose, you must give them to us.”

The Confucian cultivator didn’t make the decision for Jiang Li and the others. “Brother Tang, Brother Bai, what do you think?”

“We don’t care.” Jiang Li felt comfortable with either side.

Seeing the deal settled, Shushanhui posed a question: “Listen carefully! I’ll give you the first half: ‘A waterfall plunges three thousand feet straight down.’ What’s the second half?”

Shushanhui offered a simple warm-up question, and as expected, someone quickly answered.

“I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River,” Bai Hongtu blurted out.

The Shushan Society all stared at Bai Hongtu, thinking the Gentlemen’s Society had truly recruited a talent.

“Don’t worry about the road ahead without a confidant, what’s the second half?”

“West of Yangguan, there are no old friends.” Bai Hongtu was the first to answer again.

The Shushan Society members wanted to rant, “Have you killed all your confidants?

” “I’ve searched high and low for gold, but I

still can’t find it.” “That person is there, where the lights are dim.” Jiang Li answered before Bai Hongtu could. At first,

the Shushan Society and the Gentlemen’s Society members thought nothing of it, but upon closer inspection, they realized something was amiss.

It’s clear that searching high and low for gold is effortless, yet finding it comes easily.

Suddenly, looking back, that person is there, where the lights are dim.

How did you manage to string two unrelated words together?!

“Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road…”

“A line of egrets soars into the blue sky.”

“A glance back, a smile, a hundred charms…”

“Silence is better than words at this moment.”

“Looking up at the bright moon…”

“My shadow and I become three.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu exchanged words fluently, without a single pause.

Some students, seeing the excitement here, peeked out to watch the literary competition. The members of the Shushan Society and the Gentlemen’s Society quickly drove the students back.

Don’t be like these two people.

“Come again, and sit up in shock from your dying illness.”

“I ask you where you come from with a smile,” Bai Hongtu said, beating Jiang Li to the punch.

“Did the poet have a last gasp?” the Shushan Society members were furious.

“I’m a kindhearted person. I hate to see anyone die. I’ll save as many as I can,” Bai Hongtu replied sincerely.

“The poet has been dead for over ten thousand years!”

“My condolences.”

Bai Hongtu nearly broke the Shushan Society’s self-restraint. “

You really think we gentlemen wouldn’t hit anyone, right? Can you withstand a punch from a Nascent Soul cultivator like me?

” A Confucian cultivator privately asked Bai Hongtu, “Brother Bai, none of your answers are correct?”

“Just tell me how fast it’s going?”

The Confucian cultivator suddenly realized that they had invited two great gods.

Their Gentlemen’s Society was too small to accommodate these two.

A decisive man, the Confucian cultivator clasped his fists and declared, “We lost this match. Our Gentlemen’s Society accepts defeat. Tang Li and Bai Lantu are yours.”

A gentleman should correct his mistakes.

How could the Shushan Club dare accept these two people? “No, no, no, a quick poem contest is all about speed. You two brothers are quick thinkers, thinking of things that ordinary people can’t think of. It’s us

, the Shushan Club, who lost.” “We were the first to admit defeat. We lost.” “The Shushan Club

won’t admit your surrender. We lost.”

The two sides were humble and yielding to each other. Passersby saw this and praised the noble character of the Gentlemen Club and the Shushan Club. They voluntarily handed over the victory.

Thank you all for your concern. My father is fine at the moment. It was a false alarm.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
