Ye Tianyi felt a headache coming on.
What was this Duanmu Xuan hiding?
She was obviously an expert, but she just hid herself as someone who didn't seem particularly powerful. She couldn't even go to the second floor directly.
Obviously, if she used her real identity, she could easily go to the second floor.
"Does that mean that we might not be able to go to the second floor?"
Ye Tianyi said.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. This is a poetry competition. After the first floor's competition, some people will advance to the second floor. I have some knowledge about poetry, so I should be able to go to the second floor."
Duanmu Xuan said.
"Alright."
Ye Tianyi shrugged.
"I'll go get a glass of water."
Then Ye Tianyi walked away.
At this time, Xu Zhiming came in with a few people.
"Xuan Xuan."
Seeing Duanmu Xuan, his eyes lit up and he walked over with a smile.
"Miss Duanmu."
The other people also greeted him.
Duanmu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Why don't you go up?"
Xu Zhiming asked.
Duanmu Xuan said with a smile, "I have to pass the first floor's competition."
"Humph!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiming was unhappy. His eyes narrowed and he said, "Come, follow me up directly. I want to see if they will give face to this young master!"
Then he wanted to take Duanmu Xuan up.
"Big Brother Xu, there's no need for that. You go up first. Logically speaking, I do need to go through the process. My background is not as good as yours, so I should go up from the first floor."
Duanmu Xuan said.
She knew that she could go up if she asked Xu Zhiming, but she didn't want to owe others a favor. She could even ask others to go up, but she didn't want to. She felt that she could go up by herself, so there was no need for that.
On the contrary, if she passed the first floor's competition, she could attract the attention of the person she was looking for.
"It's just a small matter. Can't you just treat it as if you came with me?
No need to go through so much trouble. "
"No need."
Duanmu Xuan said.
"Alright then, did you come alone?"
At this time, Ye Tianyi came over with two glasses of wine. He handed one to Duanmu Xuan and put his arm around her waist.
"What are you looking at?
Let's go. It's time to write a poem. "
Ye Tianyi took a sip of red wine.
Xu Zhiming's eyes narrowed as he stared at Ye Tianyi.
Ye Tianyi was in disguise, so he couldn't recognize him. Although he knew that Duanmu Xuan knew a very handsome person, he didn't think that the Ye Tianyi in front of him was that person in disguise.
However, he was actually hugging Duanmu Xuan's waist?
"This is?"
Xu Zhiming looked at Ye Tianyi.
"My boyfriend."
Duanmu Xuan introduced.
"Xuanxuan, how did you find a boyfriend all of a sudden?
I don't know him? "
Xu Zhiming found it hard to believe.
Ye Tianyi smiled and said, "Who are you to Xuan Xuan?
Do you know her well?
You have to know every single person she knows?
Why are all the people you met tonight like this?
They seem to be very strange and pretentious. "
Hearing Ye Tianyi's words, Xu Zhiming's eyes narrowed.
He could hear that Ye Tianyi's words were filled with mockery and ridicule towards him.
"What?
Brother, you can't take Xuanxuan to the second floor? "
Xu Zhiming also smiled and said, not directly answering Ye Tianyi's question.
"Yeah, I don't have any background. I can only go up slowly."
After saying that, Ye Tianyi walked away with his arm around Duanmu Xuan's slender waist.
Xu Zhiming's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Ye Tianyi's back.
"Who is this person?
Do any of you know him? "
Xu Zhiming asked the people next to him.
"I've never seen him before. How did he become Duanmu Xuan's boyfriend?
If he wants to be Duanmu Xuan's boyfriend, they have to know each other for a long time, right?
That's strange. "
"Could it be that he's pretending to be her boyfriend?
To be her shield in this banquet? "
Someone suddenly said.
Xu Zhiming's eyes lit up!
That's right!
That's really possible.
Although he wasn't always with Duanmu Xuan, he had been paying attention to Duanmu Xuan. Therefore, it was strange that he didn't know the person next to her.
It was really possible that he was her shield.
"Come, let's go up."
Time passed slowly, and the big shots who were supposed to be here were basically all here. Ye Tianyi and Duanmu Xuan were participating in the competition.
Ye Tianyi glanced around.
Those who didn't go up from the first floor to the second floor were destined to have a weak background.
Perhaps their families were very rich, but here, it wasn't money that mattered. It was strength!
Your family had to have enough experts. Only when they reached a certain level would they be considered powerful. Moreover, this was the upper district. Forces that were considered powerful in the Eight Desolates were nothing here.
Moreover, there were many ordinary people here who couldn't cultivate. They could only dream of coming in contact with big shots through the poetry competition and changing their lives.
There were also some who were quite talented. Ye Tianyi glanced at them with his Eyes of Life. There were indeed some who were quite powerful. There were Divine Kings and Divine Illusionary Realm. They might also be geniuses, but their family background wasn't that strong. They had to rely on the big shots here.
"Young Master Liu, how have you been? It's been two years since we last met in Little New Year City. I heard that you've become one of the four great scholars of Little New Year City?"
A few people were exchanging greetings.
"Hahaha, I'm not as good as Young Master Huang. Young Master Huang has already sat down with an elder of the Nine Sword Sect to discuss Dao. Why did you also want to participate in this poetry competition?"
Young Master Huang smiled and said, "Of course, it's to exchange pointers with more talented people."
"Alright, alright, stop pretending. Stop complimenting each other. Who didn't come here to climb up the social ladder?
It's true that you, Huang Huihong, sat down with an elder of the Nine Sword Sect to discuss Dao, but you didn't obtain enough. You're just an ordinary scholar like us. Otherwise, why didn't you directly go to the second floor?
It's not certain whether you can go up or not. "
A man who was fanning himself couldn't bear to watch any longer. Then, he exposed this point, making those people a little embarrassed.
Ye Tianyi stood there, holding back his laughter.
This group of scholars was really good at acting.
"Young Master He, from what you've said, it seems that you're very confident in going to the second floor?"
They looked at the fair-skinned man and asked.
The few of them were also rubbing their palms together. The smell of gunpowder was very strong.
They were all famous scholars in their respective cities or nearby. Some of the articles they posted on the Internet were also quite famous in some books. However, this only meant that they were talented. They had the qualifications to come to this poetry competition, but it didn't mean that they could definitely go to the second floor.
"Let's wait and see."
He Yu walked over.
