Ma Xuemin and Tian Xiong's faces were covered with sweat, and they opened their mouths several times but couldn't think of a second line.

After a while, Qin Dewen sighed and smiled bitterly, "This couplet is enough to be called the best of all time."

"The five characters contain the five elements of fire, gold, water, earth, and wood, and the whole sentence is profound, especially the word "lock", which is used so well that people applaud."

"Friend Ye, I admire you and I'm willing to admit defeat."

Tian Xiong couldn't hold it anymore and said sternly, "Impossible, this couplet doesn't have a second line!"

"You must have copied it from somewhere!"

Even clay people can still get angry, but Tian Xiong keeps copying. Does he really think he is a soft persimmon that can't be squeezed?

Ye Zhiqiu's face turned cold, and he said sarcastically: "You are useless, but you can't match it and you say others plagiarize. The intellectuals are really thick-skinned."

Ma Xuemin said in a gloomy voice: "Since Ye Xiaoyou said it was not plagiarized, then I dare to ask if there is a second line? Otherwise, it is hard to convince people."

Shi Nuannuan was very angry watching from the side. The master and apprentice were really shameless. They couldn't match it and threw dirty water on others. It can be seen that they are good at turning the tables.

Qin Dewen couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "Ma Xuemin, Ye Xiaoyou is a distinguished guest I invited. What do you two mean?"

"If this continues, don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship!"

Qin Dewen has always been mild-tempered. He said such words in public, which shows that he is very angry.

Ma Xuemin's face was gloomy and he looked straight at Ye Zhiqiu.

"For the sake of Mr. Qin, I'll open your eyes."

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the two with disdain and said lightly: "Listen carefully, the second couplet is."

"The lanterns are deep in the village and the temple bells are bright!"

"Peaches are burning on the Jinjiang embankment!"

"Tea is boiled in the wall spring!"

With every sentence Ye Zhiqiu said, Ma Xuemin and Tian Xiong's faces turned paler.

Didn't you say that there is no second couplet for this couplet? Not only that, Ye Zhiqiu also said three sentences at once, and each sentence was like a slap in the face of the two.

"The willows in the pond are locked in smoke, the bells in the village temple are lit by lanterns... Absolutely, it will last forever!" Qin Dewen murmured, and then looked at Ma Xuemin and said, "Old Ma, you really lost this round."

Ma Xuemin's face turned red, and he was completely angry. He said angrily, "You are a young boy who has not yet dried up behind the ears. I don't know where you copied two couplets from. What kind of ability is that!"

"I want to compete with you in poetry. Do you dare to do it?"

Everyone was shocked. Except for Qin Dewen, the other old men couldn't stand it.

You are the vice president of the Poetry Association. You have written poems for most of your life. Are you looking for a young man to compete? Do you still have face?

"You are sick."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't bother to pay attention to this old lunatic. He signaled to Shi Nuannuan with his eyes and prepared to leave.

"You can't leave!" Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu was about to leave, Ma Xuemin was anxious and said sternly.

Tian Xiong also stood up with a gloomy face and blocked Ye Zhiqiu's way.

The only thought that flashed through Ma Xuemin's mind was that he must not let this kid leave! If what happened today got out, where would he put his face?

Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Don't pretend anymore? If you can't do it with literature, you want to try martial arts?"

Qin Dewen was also completely angry, his gray eyebrows were trembling, and he said directly: "Ma Xuemin, I don't welcome you here!"

"You master and disciple, get out!"

Ma Xuemin turned a deaf ear, took a deep breath, and said to Ye Zhiqiu sinisterly: "If you don't want to compete, admit that "Xia Ke Xing" is plagiarized, and you can leave today."

Ma Xuemin was so angry that he was confused, and his true intentions were exposed.

After these words came out, Ye Zhiqiu was so angry that he laughed, and he was not in a hurry to leave.

Ye Zhiqiu said calmly: "If you want to compare poetry, it's not impossible."

Ma Xuemin's face was happy, and Ye Zhiqiu continued: "But if you want to compete, you have to bet on something, otherwise it's not fun."

Ma Xuemin was stunned, then sneered: "How much money do you want to bet? Just name a number."

Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand and said: "I am a law-abiding citizen, so there is no need to bet money. Keep it simple."

"The loser kowtows to the other party and shouts "Master, I am wrong" three times, how about it?"

Everyone present was shocked when the voice fell. This kid is going to kill him.

Qin Dewen said anxiously: "Little friend Ye..."

Ye Zhiqiu gave Qin Dewen a "reassuring" look and said to Ma Xuemin: "Do you dare?"

Ma Xuemin's face was gloomy and uncertain. He was sure that Ye Zhiqiu was not very old, and even if he had some talent, he would not be very powerful, but he did not expect that the kid in front of him was so tough.

"But now I am in a dilemma, I have to agree even if I don't want to.

Okay!" Ma Xuemin gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Dewen will give the questions, and within fifteen minutes, each of you will write a poem and let everyone judge it!"

Ye Zhiqiu had no objection, Qin DewenHe still believed in Wen's character.

Shi Nuannuan was worried and her palms were sweating with nervousness.

In fact, although Ma Xuewen was narrow-minded, he did have some real talent, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of vice president of the Chinese Poetry Association.

It was just a pity that he met Ye Zhiqiu today.

Ma Xuemin and Tian Xiong were nervous, but Ye Zhiqiu was very relaxed and smiled, "Mr. Qin, please give me a topic."

Since both parties had decided, Qin Dewen couldn't say anything and pondered for a moment.

Qin Dewen said, "Since you, Old Ma, have doubts about Ye Xiaoyou's "Xia Ke Xing", then my topic will be "Xia".

When everyone heard this topic, they all nodded secretly.

First, Ma Xuemin, you doubt that others can't write it, why don't you prove yourself first. Second, if Ye Zhiqiu can write another poem about "Xia", even if the quality is slightly worse than "Xia Ke Xing", it can be regarded as proving himself.

Ma Xuemin's eyes lit up when he heard that he was asked to write a poem with the title "Xia". However, he didn't say anything.

Qin Dewen said in a deep voice: "The time limit is 15 minutes. Please write a poem."

Ma Xuemin has been thinking about this for most of his life. He has written at least 800 poems, if not 1,000. There are a few poems about "Xia" that have never been published.

However, this competition is of great importance. He did not read the poem out loud, but repeatedly pondered it in his mind while observing Ye Zhiqiu's situation.

Ye Zhiqiu looked solemn, as if he was thinking hard.

After ten minutes, Ye Zhiqiu still did not respond, as if he was stumped. Ma Xuemin was more certain of his guess that Ye Zhiqiu had no idea, and was overjoyed.

"I got it!" Just five minutes later, Ma Xuemin couldn't help it and clapped his hands in a pretentious manner.

"I played the sword and sang wildly in Jizhou, and threw the red beans in vain.

Where is the man in the mountains and flowing water? The chivalrous spirit and tender heart always make me sad."

"Good!" As soon as Ma Xuemin finished speaking, Tian Xiong couldn't wait to cheer loudly.

Everyone nodded slightly. Although Ma Xuemin's poem couldn't be said to be very good, it was well-balanced and took a different approach. It was a highlight from chivalry to love. It was quite rare to be able to create such a work in five minutes.

Tian Xiong sneered and looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Brother Ye, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"I think you don't waste time thinking about it. Just kowtow to my teacher a few times."

Shi Nuannuan said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? Only five minutes have passed. It's not a competition to see who can do it faster!"

Although she said so, Shi Nuannuan couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

Suddenly, a chuckle came from the side.

"I thought he was so powerful, but it turned out to be just this kind of stuff."
