Chapter 1038 Admit Defeat

Xiao Yurong felt that his senior sister cared more about Xie Pinghuai than he did.

However, she only cared about his health. She did not care about Xie Pinghuai’s embarrassment at all.

Xiao Yurong could accept most of what Xie Pinghuai did as long as his master was not angry. After all, Xie Pinghuai was his disciple and he was prepared for it. Not long after, the things were delivered to Xie Pinghuai’s hands.

With a cloak and a stove, he looked much warmer.

However, before he could enjoy the warmth, a scholar mustered up his courage and walked over. He bowed to him politely and said, “I have heard that Teacher Xiao has taken in two disciples. Are you two his disciples?”

“Yes.” Chu Jian was also mentally prepared. He immediately became alert.

Xie Pinghuai also nodded. “What do you

want?”

The other party smiled awkwardly. Then, a few people walked over from behind and said to Xie Pinghuai, “For Second Young Master Xie to be accepted as Teacher Xiao’s disciple, there must be something special about you, right?” “That’s right.” Xie Pinghuai could tell that they were praising him for his ability.

The few of them smiled. “Since that’s the case, I believe that you wouldn’t mind talking about poetry and painting with us?”

“I think the scenery today is pretty good. Why don’t we compose a poem for the lake scenery? After we finish writing it, we can pass it on to Old Master Li for him to see. Second Young Master is so confident that he will definitely win first place and become famous for it!”

“We can tell that Young Master Xie is different from the rest with a glance. You must be secretly capable. Such a simple matter will definitely not be a problem for the two of

you…”

As they said this, it was as if this matter was set in stone.

The few of them began to ponder on it. With the brush in their hands, they rolled up their sleeves and started to write.

Xie Pinghuai was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Chu Jian and then at the few of them. He looked confused. “I didn’t agree to write a poem, right?” “Stop complaining. Think about it quickly. If we lose face now, we won’t have the dignity to learn from teacher. We’ll just wait to be kicked out of the sect! Didn’t you say that your sister has high expectations for you…” Chu Jian quickly reminded him.

At the mention of his sister, Xie Pinghuai’s expression immediately turned solemn.

His poor sister’s body was not in good health and could not take it.

However, writing poems… This was really not something he was good at!

The requirements for writing poems in the coming year’s examination were not high either?!

How old were these shameless people? They were actually compared to a child like him..

“The jade mirror and the clear river formed shadows. The jade peak is a thousand miles tall and the dust is billowing. The lonely boat float alone in the sea, the plum fragrance sweeps over the pavilion…”

In the blink of an eye, someone finished and recited.

Xie Pinghuai frowned.

Before he could speak, the others began to recite their poems one after another. Then, they looked at the two of them.

Chu Jian was still alright. He had been to many such occasions since he was young and could still cope.

Moreover, he was not their target.

Xie Pinghuai was different.

He made people feel unconvinced.

Teacher Xiao was the most talented person among the younger generation. He would be the successor of Old Master Li in the future. In another ten years or so, he would be the best candidate for the next dean of the Royal Academy.

Such a person had taken in a disciple like Xie Pinghuai.

“Second Young Master, have you thought about it?” Everyone looked at Xie Pinghuai provocatively.

Xie Pinghuai rolled his eyes at them. “No!”

“So Second Young Master Xie has admitted defeat?” The other party smiled, and the others could not help but look at him in mockery.

“I’m not admitting defeat.” Xie Pinghuai raised his head. “I’m not competing with you at all. Why should I admit defeat?”
