Wow, Daddy's so amazing!

Shangguan Jie and Chong Lingting's words left everyone present utterly astonished.

Their teacher was none other than Jiang Jiubai, the so-called supreme authority of literary Dao in North Profound Heaven.

As for this man's talent, even "a cartload of books and eight bushels of talent" was not enough to describe it.

According to legend, he had cultivated through literature for seven thousand one hundred years, and under his tutelage, he had produced three Emperors of North Profound Heaven.

In the literary circles of North Profound Heaven, Jiang Jiubai bore many titles.

North Profound Poetry Immortal.

North Profound Lyric God.

Wenqu Star Descends.

The Great Confucian of the Literary Dao.

"Who would have thought that even Great Confucian Jiang would be stumped by this single line of poetry!" Mu Youqing couldn't help but sigh.

Shangguan Jie nodded. "It's because this line is a lost masterpiece from fifty thousand years ago, with no matching couplet passed down through the ages."

"Moreover, the artistic conception of this line is so lofty that before it, any other line seems to pale in comparison."

"Fifty thousand years ago, I wonder what astonishing genius could have written such a heaven-defying line." Chong Lingting took a sip of tea. "If I could hear the other half, I would gladly die this very instant!"

When everyone heard him say this, they all nodded in silent agreement.

A literary fanatic, a literary fanatic—this described someone who had reached such a realm that they valued literature above life itself.

Clearly, that line of poetry from the last tea gathering had driven Chong Lingting to obsession.

Xuan Zhu blinked her big eyes, watching the uncles and aunties chatting among themselves.

She tugged at Mu Youqing and asked, "Aunt, which line of poetry are you all talking about?"

Among the four daughters, Xuan Zhu loved literature the most.

Donghuang Ziyou had taught her many classical poems over the years, so the little girl had developed a strong interest.

Mu Youqing smiled. "That line is: Autumn Water and Long Sky Share One Color."

"I don't know if it's the first half or the second half."

"What a formidable line." As soon as Xuan Zhu heard it, she felt that this line was extraordinary.

Lin Xuan, however, had a faint glimmer in his eyes.

He was familiar with this line.

Possessing the Profound Absolute Heavenly Tome allowed him to instantly recite every line of poetry that had ever appeared on this planet.

Although this line originated from fifty thousand years ago and was now a lost masterpiece.

For Lin Xuan, speaking its matching couplet was effortless.

"Daddy, can you say the other half?" Xuan Zhu looked at Lin Xuan with hopeful eyes.

Before Lin Xuan could answer, the other three little girls spoke up.

Xuan Xi: "Daddy definitely can!"

Xuan Han: "Mm!"

Xuan You: "Daddy is the best!"

Since the children had said so, Lin Xuan could only nod with a slight smile. "I can."

Swish~

The gazes of everyone present suddenly lit up.

Shangguan Jie and the others had never thought Lin Xuan was an ordinary man from the start.

Now hearing him say this, they felt a warmth spreading through their bodies.

Perhaps today, Lin Xuan would truly bring them a surprise.

"Imperial Husband, please, tell us quickly!"

Shangguan Jie urged impatiently.

Lin Xuan said calmly, "Sunset Glow and Solitary Wild Geese Fly Together, Autumn Water and Long Sky Share One Color."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire hall fell silent.

Shangguan Jie and Chong Lingting exchanged glances, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.

"Sunset glow, solitary geese, autumn water, long sky—what a profound painting of an autumn scene!"

"These two lines are perfectly matched in structure, balanced in artistic conception, and harmonious in tone—truly exquisite beyond compare!"

"Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous! Even I, who don't understand poetry, can taste how extraordinary these lines are!"

"The Imperial Husband is incredibly talented!"

After a brief silence, the hall erupted in waves of praise.

Lin Xuan's poem struck like a sudden enlightenment, leaving everyone present with the sensation of an immortal patting their head.

Truly, these two lines were so exquisite that they offered an indescribable, high-class pleasure.

At this moment, Shangguan Jie, Chong Lingting, and the others looked at Lin Xuan with eyes full of admiration and reverence.

Meanwhile, Mu Youqing and the other imperial maidens revealed expressions of infatuation.

Lin Xuan was not only handsome beyond compare, but his words were also startlingly celestial.

He had both looks and talent.

These young maidens, whose hearts were just beginning to stir, simply couldn't withstand his overwhelming charm.

"Wow, Daddy is amazing!"

"That's right, Daddy is great!"

"Praise, praise, praise!"

"Daddy is the strongest!"

The four little girls took in everyone's expressions and clapped their hands joyfully.

Every word they spoke was filled with adoration and fondness for Lin Xuan.

Xuan Zhu quickly tugged at Lin Xuan: "Daddy, starting tomorrow, will you teach me to read? I want to learn to write poems like you too!"

"No problem, leave it to Daddy!" Lin Xuan immediately took charge.

Xuan Xi and Xuan Han raised their little hands together: "Daddy, we want to learn too!"

Xuan You pouted her little mouth: "I don't want to study, it's so tiring!"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Not studying won't do. If a person doesn't study, they'll fall behind."

"Then can I just learn a little bit?" Xuan You thought for a moment and decided to listen to Daddy.

"Alright." Lin Xuan nodded with a smile. Getting this little devil to agree was no easy feat.

Mu Youqing and the others watched Lin Xuan, not only talented and handsome but also so skilled at teaching children, and silently admired him.

Especially that line—"If a person doesn't study, they'll fall behind"—they had truly never heard it before.

"The Imperial Husband truly radiates talent. The Dao of Literature debate in three days—I must invite the Imperial Husband to attend."

Shangguan Jie took out an invitation and handed it to Lin Xuan.

"Imperial Husband, this is the Five-Year Grand Dao of Literature hosted by my teacher, inviting all scholars and poets under heaven to participate."

"This invitation is a Distinguished Guest Token. I only have one, so I'm giving it to you. Please do me the honor of attending!"

Mu Youqing and the others showed expressions of surprise upon hearing this.

Jiang Jiubai's Distinguished Guest Tokens—only nine existed under all heaven.

Those who could obtain such a token were all supreme experts with titan status in the literary world.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jie had given one of them to Lin Xuan without hesitation.

But on second thought, since Lin Xuan could even match an eternal masterpiece from fifty thousand years ago, he was worthy of this distinguished guest token.

Seeing Shangguan Jie's eager demeanor, Lin Xuan accepted the invitation smoothly.

After all, his days in North Profound Heaven were about enjoying life while raising the children.

Since such a grand event was happening, he might as well take the kids for an outing and broaden their horizons.

Afterward, the tea party continued.

Because Lin Xuan's poem had stunned everyone, the rest of the gathering revolved entirely around him.

Among these royal descendants, Lin Xuan thoroughly enjoyed a feeling of being surrounded by stars.

Tianmo Realm, Ten Thousand Devil Kingdom.

King Zheng Song hurriedly entered the Bloodthirsty Devil Master's palace and bowed: "Devil Master, Xuanbing Palace has shown no abnormalities recently, nor have we detected any strong person at the Great Sage Level."

"The only anomaly is a man named Lin Xuan from the Lower Realm, said to be the biological father of the Empress's four daughters, who has arrived at the Crystal Palace."

"Lower Realm?" Ye You frowned. "To think that the man of the esteemed Mysterious Ice Empress comes from the Lower Realm!"
