Chapter C170
"Hehe!" The envoy from the academy has finally arrived? " Ling Xiao laughed as he walked towards the Ling Residence!
In the Ling Family's guest hall.
"Hm!" I think back to the peerless grace that Patriarch Ling had back then, and how he was able to earn such a great reputation in just a few decades. He is truly a prodigy in the world! " The man surnamed Cai said.
"Where!?" No matter how much of a genius you are, you're still not as famous as your son! At this time, the name Ling Xiao has spread throughout several prefectural cities! " Cai Yuanlin replied humbly.
"Brother Cai, this time, I want to let my son learn more, so I want Ling Xiao to come to Eastwood Institution to have a look, and meet the geniuses of Donglin County!" Ling Zhentian said faintly.
"Really? Haha! Great! Previously, I heard that Young Master Ling Xiao is extremely intelligent, and has an unparalleled temperament, but now, I hear that Clan Master Ling has personally agreed to it! " After Cai Yuanlin heard this, he also sighed excitedly.
"What do you mean, 'nothing'?" Ling Zhentian said very politely.
"Haha!" It's fine, I'm very welcome! Jiang Taiping, Wan Wujiang, you two better remember to take care of this junior of yours! " Cai Yuanlin turned and said to the two young men behind him.
"Understood, mentor!" The two young men answered in unison.
"Hehe!" It's really not bad, to have the cultivation of the middle stage Metamorphosis Secret Realm at such a young age, you are truly young and promising! " Glancing at the two of them, Ling Zhentian praised.
"Brother Ling is too polite. Along the way here, we've been hearing about your son's legend. I wonder when we'll be able to see his true face?" Cai Yuanlin asked about Ling Xiao's news.
"Oh!" I have already informed my son, but he is currently not in the manor. Ling Zhentian replied.
"I'm fine. Actually, we also really want to meet this kind of person who has been spreading rumors all along. You don't know how many people are narrating the story of Ling Xiao along the way! " Cai Yuanlin said as he gave a slight wry smile.
"Hehe!" No problem! Eh? My son is about to arrive home. It's time to let my son come over and experience the talents of the outside world! " Ling Zhentian said.
"Really? That's great, I'm really looking forward to it! " Cai Yuanlin and the other few people's eyes lit up.
Not long later, Ling Xiao was led to the Guest Hall by a servant.
When they first saw Ling Xiao, everyone was slightly shocked, the current Ling Xiao made people speechless.
No one would have thought that Ling Xiao's hair was in a mess, his face was covered with dust, and his clothes were very worn out. He looked like a beggar on the whole.
This scene caused everyone to be shocked, but Ling Xiao did not care, and bowed to the group.
Seeing this, Ling Zhentian instructed Ling Xiao to quickly change into a clean set of clothes.
Actually, all of these were images of Ling Xiao after he had refined the pellet at the very last moment.
Not long later, the crowd saw a handsome and graceful young master in front of them. The current Ling Xiao gave people a different feeling. With a feathered crown on his head and a long cape on his head, he looked just like a beautiful man.
Now, Ling Xiao's temperament was completely different from before.
"Haha!" Brother Ling, your son's elegance is indeed worthy of admiration! " Cai Yuanlin said with a smile.
"Brother Cai, I've let you guys down!" Ling Zhentian said, a little worried.
I wonder if this junior would be fortunate enough to spar with Sir Ling Xiao for a bit. This junior would like to see if Sir Ling Xiao is like the rumors said him to be! At this time, Jiang Pingping stood up and said to Ling Zhentian.
Seeing that situation, Ling Zhentian frowned, but seeing that Ling Xiao nodded his head, he agreed.
"Oh? This senior brother doesn't know what kind of spar he wants with Ling Xiao? " Ling Xiao asked.
"Junior Brother Ling Xiao, logically speaking, we are your Senior Brother, but along the way, we have been hearing about your legend, so we couldn't help but ask you for guidance today!" Jiang Taiping said with a smile.
"Greetings Senior Brothers!" Ling Xiao bowed to his two senior brothers.
"Junior brother Ling Xiao, I have always been curious about the fact that Fairy Ru Yan and Junior brother are close friends, and are extremely talented, so the one Senior brother wants to compete with is Shi Shi. I wonder if Junior brother Ling Xiao would mind?" Jiang Taiping slowly said as he looked at Ling Xiao.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiao agreed.
"Since Junior Brother Ling Xiao has agreed, then how about we name it snow and write a poem for each of us?" Jiang Taiping said confidently.
"Alright then!" Senior Brother, please! " Ling Xiao indicated for Jiang Taiping to start!
"Alright, then I'll be making a fool of myself." The pure white snow was silver, and the vast blue sky was full of vicissitudes. Treading on the snow, Traceless Star Wearing Moon, landing on the land of the ten thousand kilograms of condensed ice and frost. " Then, Jiang Taiping began to recite.
"Hm!" Not bad, good poem, good poem! Especially when Traceless Snowsteps on the stars, when he lands on the ice, with just a single word, he says the characteristics of the snow. It seems light and graceful, but it is able to step over everything else, it is very alluring, not bad! " Cai Yuanlin praised.
"Junior brother Ling Xiao, I will be making a fool out of you, please!" Jiang Taiping said proudly.
Looking at the sky, Ling Xiao took a few steps back and forth before slowly saying, "In the blink of an eye, spring and autumn has added new years to the year. An elegant shadow accompanied by a moonlight dance, who cares about the feelings of others! "
After he finished reciting, Ling Xiao looked up at the sky, and at this moment, Ling Xiao was reminded of every single detail when he was together with Meng Ziyan.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
At this moment, no one said a word, they were only applauding Ling Xiao, but the result was clear. It was very clear that Ling Xiao's poem was extremely touching. That kind of thick feelings of love, borrowing the gentleness of the snow, would merge his strong feelings into it, resulting in an even better pride!
At this time, Jiang Taiping's eyes were wide open. No one would have thought that a short poem by Ling Xiao would express such emotions, and when they thought about their own poems, although there were only a few envelopes on the surface, there wasn't too much emotion contained within. What was poetry? A work that can express the feelings of a poet!
At this moment, Jiang Pingping had no choice but to lower his head to Ling Xiao. He had to admit that in this round of competition, he was almost instantly killed by Ling Xiao.
After that, Jiang Taiping proposed another method, a pair!
"Spring Breeze does not understand people's intentions!" Junior Brother Ling Xiao, please! " Jiang Taiping asked.
"Autumn Rain is the most worried!"
"Flowers bloom and fall, no one cares!"
"A full moon without a full moon, a common path worthy of the heart!"
"Heavens, is this true? Sir Ling Xiao is actually so nimble, not only is his answer so fluent, it is also so neat, truly admirable! " At this time, Wan Wujiang spoke out his praise.
"That's right, this Ling Xiao is indeed well-hidden. Even Cai Yuanlin could not resist but to praise.
Seeing that so many people had started to praise Ling Xiao, Jiang Taiping felt too embarrassed to continue arguing with him. Hence, his eyes flickered with uncertainty, and finally, he did not persist any longer, admitting defeat to Ling Xiao.
"Junior brother Ling Xiao, you are truly worthy of being called the reincarnation of heaven, your intelligence is unrivalled, I am truly impressed!" Jiang Taiping said in shame.
"Senior Brother Jiang is too kind, actually, Senior Brother Jiang's talent is also admirable to Ling Xiao, it is just that Ling Xiao was moved by it." Ling Xiao said euphemistically.
"Alright, since you've lost then don't continue to embarrass yourself. When you go back, you must know that there is always someone stronger than you. You must not underestimate the people of this world!" Cai Yuanlin explained.
"Got it, mentor!" Tai Ping, remember your teachings! " Jiang Taiping cupped his fists and bowed towards Cai Yuanlin.
"Alright, let's not take it to heart. Xiao'er, hurry up and apologize to your senior!" Ling Zhentian said to Ling Xiao.
"No need Brother Ling, don't blame Ling Xiao for this, this is also for the sake of peace, as long as he thought it through. "Haha, at that time, your son will be extremely enviable. Not only is he outstanding in talent, but he is also extremely powerful. People can't help but praise him!" Cai Yuanlin knew how to speak.
"Hm!" It's good that you're alright, it's not good if you're affecting the Eastwood Institution because of a small matter. Furthermore, Ling Xiao will be a member of the Eastwood Institution in the future. Ling Zhentian said as he nodded his head slightly.
"Brother Ling is right!" Haha! For my Eastwood Institution to have such a genius, there is no need to worry about no one in the Hundred Palaces Tournament, haha! " Cai Yuanlin laughed and said.
