Just as Chu Tian Ge was about to say something, Ye Qingli then said, "Of course I will not regret it! We will compete in composing poetry! However, what would you do if you lose?"

Those people started laughing.

"She actually asked, what should Brother Guo lose?"

"She sure likes to talk big, how could Brother Guo lose?"

"Does she have a loose screw in her head and thinks she might be able to win?"

Guo Bin raised his head and said proudly, "How could I lose? You are better off thinking of what you would do when you lose!"

"Hm ..." he murmured, "Having you undress is too unreasonable. So, if you lose, you ..."[1]

[1] The author didn’t mention what he said

Everyone gasped.

If that was really the case, even if she doesn't die, she would be half dead.

Young Master Guo wants to deliberately take Ye Qingli’s life!

Ye Qingli felt a flash of murderous intent.

No wonder he is a scholar, his heart is worse than that of an average person!

Huh, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being ruthless.

She said coldly, "Well, I agree! But if you lose then I will take one of your legs!"

She smiled faintly, "Half my life used in the bet for one of your legs, won't you disagree with this deal, right?"

Guo Bin waved the folding fan in his hand carelessly, "Ok, deal!"

He didn't even notice what Ye Qingli said.

In his opinion, how could he lose?

Unless when the sun rises from the west!

"Hold it!"

Chu Tian Ge suddenly raised her hand and said, "Although it is a competition to compose a poem, there must be a standard. We couldn’t have the poems judged by you guys, right?"

She just thought of this important problem!

This was not as clear cut as chess, a loss is a loss, a win is a win.

Judging the quality of a poem is somewhat based on a person’s perspective.

What if they play dirty?

At that moment, from the private room on the second floor, two old men suddenly stood out.

"If you don't mind, how about it being judged by old men?"

Everyone in the surrounding gasped.

"It’s Teacher Ni!"

"Also Teacher Duan, they are the era’s greatest scholars!"

"With their two old teachers judging the competition, they will definitely be fair!"

These two old teachers are the era’s famous scholars. One of them was once the dean of the Hanlin Academy and has now retired. The other one was the capital's most famous "Changshan Academy"’s elder. They were both great men of this era.

The two of them happened to be drinking here today but did not expect to see such a lively scene.

Mr. Ni respectfully said, "Miss Ye, the both of us are old. We also have our own taste in poems and verses. So, you won't have to worry about favoritism.

Ye Qingli looked at the two old teachers with a straight face and admired them very much, she bowed and said, "Then I would have to trouble you both, Mister Duan and Mister Ni."

Of course, Guo Bin and others did not object.

They went up to the third floor together. Their bunch sat in the Lin Jiang Pavilion, while Ye Qingli sat in the opposite in the Nanpu Pavilion together with Chu Tiange.

Both of these names had a poetic charm to it written on a list at the top. The names on the list were also top names.

Ye Qingli also learned calligraphy before, at first glance it looked extraordinary.

Chu Tian Ge whispered to her that it was made by the capital’s most famous calligrapher.
