The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 667 - 668: Conversation with Liu Qianyun

The honest man couldn’t believe Liu Zixuan could come up with a matching couplet, because he was planning to win the championship in the literary competition with this upper couplet.

If Liu Zixuan matched it, he would be directly eliminated and lose the chance to demonstrate his skills in the literary contest.

In a vague sense, the honest man became nervous and incredulously muttered, "Are you bluffing just to scare me?"

Liu Zixuan smiled and said, "Then listen carefully, this is the lower couplet: One person is great, two people are heavenly, the heavenly is big favor, favor is greater than heaven!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" The honest man compared it carefully after listening, and immediately coughed violently because he couldn’t breathe evenly. He mumbled with a flushed face, "Has the three-year record been broken by you?"

"Brother, I suppose you are the young master of your big family, right?" Liu Zixuan said with a smile.

"Yes." The honest man nodded.

"That’s right, you say that no one among your scholarly talents has been able to match it for three years, but it’s not because they lack ability; it’s because of your family’s background that they dare not match it, but only flatter you."

Liu Zixuan joked with a smile, "They pamper you because they fear your family, but I won’t pamper you at all!"

"You..." The honest man faltered, and suddenly realized, sneering at himself, "Does this count as being too clever for my own good? Or am I just not a genius, but was praised as a genius without any talent?"

Liu Zixuan folded his fan, "A genius is not made by others’ praise, but proven by one’s own strength."

After saying that, Liu Zixuan walked to the other side.

Just as he imagined, even the simplest appetizer according to Liu Qianyun, matching couplets, had already exposed the true strength of countless so-called geniuses.

Indeed, they are geniuses in their local families, but the title of genius can make a person rise or ruin them. Those bearing the genius halo without striving forward will remain stagnant, like the honest man just now.

His couplet puzzled countless scholars three years ago, but it also stopped him, because those scholars feared his family and flattered him, so they wouldn’t match it, making this upper couplet absolute. Thus, he stopped progressing!

In just over an hour, from more than seventy or eighty people, fewer than thirty were left, and participants continued to be eliminated gradually.

The opponent Liu Zixuan was about to face wasn’t too tricky, and after nearly two hours, the top five in the literary contest were decided, with Liu Zixuan naturally among them.

Liu Qianyun watched as only five people remained on the field and walked towards this side, hands behind his back.

His eyes swept over the other four with an expression of appreciation, but when his gaze lingered on Liu Zixuan, his expression immediately changed.

A strange color flickered briefly in his eyes as he knitted his brows and waved at the other four, "You go rest first, prepare for the martial contest in a while!"

"Okay!" The four were slightly puzzled, not knowing why Liu Qianyun left Liu Zixuan behind, but given the disparity in status, they didn’t ask and went to the resting area.

Liu Qianyun walked up to Liu Zixuan, assessing him up and down, "You... really came!"

"Second Patriarch, don’t you think the grand event of the Willow Association is more interesting with my presence?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.

The young gentlemen showed reverence and even fear when they saw Liu Qianyun, but Liu Zixuan was not afraid at all, even looking directly at him, not feeling less than him in status.

Liu Qianyun sneered, "Liu Zixuan, in three months’ time, your strength has grown a bit, and you’re also sharper-tongued than before."

"Mhm!" Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly.

"Kid, to prevent Ruyan from hating us, we won’t kill you, but we’ve already announced publicly that as long as they meet you, any family or force can target you, be it life or death depending on their will."

Liu Qianyun stepped forward, his eyes full of viciousness as he looked at Liu Zixuan, word by word said with a smile, "So this time, you will definitely die here."

"Do you think that since I dared to come openly, I would be killed so easily by them?" Liu Zixuan said with a deep and meaningful smile.

Liu Qianyun smiled slightly, showing neither joy nor anger, patting Liu Zixuan’s shoulder, "Young man, compared to those young masters of your age, you indeed have some outstanding points, so I am looking forward to seeing you in the top five of both the literary and martial contests."

"Because in doing so, after you enter the grand hall, you can let Ruyan truly see how worthless you are in front of real geniuses, and you can also see how outstanding the boyfriend we chose for Ruyan is!"

Liu Zixuan’s eyes flashed with cold light, announcing emphatically, "If there truly is such a person, I’ll kill them without hesitation! No one can take my woman away!"

"Then you should wait until you have the credentials to enter the grand hall before saying that!" Liu Qianyun snorted coldly, "Liu Zixuan, don’t make empty boasts, by the time the martial contest starts, you might already be dead, leaving you no chance to see Ruyan!"

After speaking, Liu Qianyun headed towards the high platform.

Liu Zixuan’s gaze was sharp, with a hint of killing intent, and his fists clenched tightly, "Liu Qianyun, last time we didn’t determine the victor, after the martial contest, I will personally defeat you and your brother Liu Qianfeng!"

Liu Zixuan muttered while returning to the resting area.

Bai Jingjing said with a smile, "Congratulations on making it to the top five."

"Of course, this young master is indeed someone knowledgeable in both literature and martial arts, if this were ancient times, I would surely win the champion title in both fields!" Liu Zixuan boasted.

Bai Jingjing gave a snort of laughter, "Just a little praise goes to your head. What did Liu Qianyun say to you just now?"

Just as Liu Zixuan was about to speak, Liu Qianyun picked up the microphone again and addressed the crowd, "Everyone, the brief literary contest has ended, the top five have been decided, and after the martial contest, they will all enter the grand hall for the final showdown."

"And now, although it’s already noon, seeing the young men’s high spirits, let the martial contest proceed as well. The martial contest will surely last longer than the literary one, so others, including those eliminated in the martial contest, can enjoy the delicious cuisine we’ve prepared, which will be served to your tables later."

At this point, Liu Qianyun revealed a peculiar smile, "I believe everyone saw the top five in the literary contest, and I can responsibly tell you, the Liu Zixuan I mentioned before is among them!"
