"Worth it! Wonderful! This time, I'll definitely win Meng Yao's heart. Brother Tang, you really are my lucky star!" Feng Chenye seemed to awaken from a dream. His face flushed red with excitement as he hugged Tang Yan and hopped around in place several times, then stood grinning to himself for a while before finally stopping.
Then Young Master Feng gave Tang Yan a pitiful look.
"What now?" Tang Yan asked irritably.
"I got so excited that I only remembered the word 'lilac.' I forgot all the other lines. Could you write them down for me? I'll memorize them properly when I get back."
"Pfft!" Fire Phoenix, standing nearby, showed Young Master Feng no mercy. She chuckled. "This poem isn't exactly long, and its meaning is extraordinary. Even an ordinary person could remember most of such stunning lines. With abilities like yours, Young Master Feng, you really are a prodigy unmatched through the ages."
"Shoo, shoo. A turkey like you dares mock this young master?" Feng Chenye shot back, refusing to be outdone, then paid her no further attention.
"You!" Fury welled up in Fire Phoenix's heart, but there was still a gap in strength between their two families. For a moment, she could only fume, helpless to do anything.
"Every time I see Young Master Tang, I find his talent beyond anyone's reach. This little poem uses plain language, simple and clear, yet its lingering charm and delicate feeling seep into the bones. It truly is a fine work." Shen Shan was unstinting in his praise.
Everyone offered another round of praise before Feng Chenye contentedly clutched the poem and began memorizing it bit by bit.
"By the way, we still don't know why Mingyou Valley put out a citywide warrant for you," Shen Shan asked curiously.
