At this moment, all the Directorate of Music suddenly stood up, their beautiful eyes looking at Mo Bao with admiration.
"As expected of Young Master Su, he actually wrote a masterpiece at the very end, instantly turning the tide!"
"I was worried that Young Master Su would lose and lose face, but I never expected that Young Master Su would have such a trick up his sleeve! Just now, I was so excited I almost jumped out of my skin!"
The courtesans clutched their chests with their delicate hands, looking utterly shocked.
If other men were present, they would likely be utterly dumbfounded.
It's a pity that no one can appreciate the beauty of spring here.
Up in the attic, Su Mu stopped writing and watched as the Righteous Qi enveloped the characters, imbuing them with its Righteous Qi before slowly drifting onto the paper.
Upon closer inspection of the paper, one can vaguely see a bamboo stalk, about seven inches long, imprinted deep within the image.
The method used here to judge the quality of calligraphy is rather interesting.
Su Mu couldn't help but smirk as he watched this scene.
"Alright, I've finished writing. Please feel free to proceed."
As Su Mu spoke, he walked to an empty table to the side, poured himself a glass of wine, and then picked up a piece of pastry to eat.
It has a slightly sticky texture, and I don't know what kind of ground cake it is made from. The cake is wrapped with some kind of dried fruit that I can't name, and when you bite into it, it has a cool sensation.
It completely washes away any slight greasiness from the original pastry, making its flavor quite unique.
After finishing his meal, Su Mu couldn't help but grab another piece and put it in his mouth, then took a sip of wine.
Tsk, these talented men certainly know how to enjoy life.
Upon hearing this, Deng Tianping and the others looked rather grim.
Looking at this seven-inch calligraphy, a sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
They had already prepared a six-inch calligraphy piece. Having studied calligraphy for so many years, they knew exactly what level of calligraphy they envisioned.
I originally thought that Su Mu would at most write a six-inch calligraphy piece, and then continue writing after the tie.
With so many talented people here, how many of Su Mu can produce a six-inch calligraphy masterpiece?
They had prepared for so long, yet they were completely overwhelmed by this seven-inch calligraphy.
Now they look at each other, resigned to defeat yet unwilling to accept it, but unable to write anything.
"Young Master Su, I've long admired your name; meeting you today, I can confirm it truly lives up to its reputation!"
At this moment, Mingze stood up, approached Su Mu, raised his wine cup to Su Mu, and said, "I would like to offer a toast to Young Master Su."
"Sure, sure."
Seeing this, Su Mu also picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
Mingze was overjoyed at the sight. He had been incredibly arrogant when he saw Su Mu before, and he was prepared for Su Mu to not even glance at him.
To my surprise, Su Mu treated me quite politely.
With Mingze taking the lead, and seeing that Su Mu didn't seem like someone unapproachable, the other talented men immediately stepped forward to toast Su Mu, as if they were having an early victory celebration.
Su Mu accepted all the invitations and drank a cup with each of them.
The main reason was that Su Mu found the local spirit wine to be excellent, and couldn't help but drink too much.
Xiao Wu stood beside Su Mu, her pretty face full of smiles. The young master was still the young master, easily turning the tide. Look at those talented outsiders, they probably had no way to deal with him!
Seeing this, Duan Qi and the others looked even more unpleasant. There were plenty of pastries and drinks laid out beside them, but they didn't even have the appetite to take a bite.
"This young master Su is truly an extraordinary person; his calligraphy seems to have been written effortlessly."
"Especially that last line, it's simply brilliantly written, truly a masterpiece!"
The surrounding crowd began to murmur amongst themselves. Since those talented scholars hadn't written anything by now, their topic of conversation was naturally Su Mu.
Su Mu ate peacefully to the side, wondering how much the calligraphy would fetch, or whether she should keep it for herself.
Duan Qi and the others were still hesitant; they didn't know whether they should just admit defeat.
Time passed slowly under these circumstances, and Duan Qi and the others finally realized that continuing to delay like this was not a solution.
Thinking of this, they gritted their teeth and stepped forward, reluctantly admitting defeat.
Seeing this, Su Mu stopped eating, somewhat reluctant to leave.
It's a pity, he hadn't had enough to eat yet, and the other party conceded defeat so easily, otherwise he felt he could have continued to eat for free here for a long time.
Su Mu stepped forward, put away the calligraphy, and turned to walk downstairs. Since the other party had already admitted defeat, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Lin Hongbin, on the other hand, stayed by Su Mu's side the whole time without saying a word, like a loyal bodyguard.
When Su Mu returned to the courtyard, Yu Guyue finally came out of her room, looking as graceful as a phoenix.
"Are you alright now?"
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Yu Guyue rolled her eyes and said softly, "There was an unusual change in the heavens. The imbalance of Yin and Yang caused my physical strength Demon Power to surge for a moment. I was just adjusting my breathing before that."
This guy really thinks he's so powerful that he can keep her in bed for half a day!
Su Mu felt a little embarrassed. He had really thought so just now, and was even feeling quite proud of himself. But it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
What does "yin prevailing over yang" mean?
As Su Mu asked, he looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and there was nothing unusual about it.
"It must be that the Moon Pursuing the Sun is about to occur. In the next few days, all cultivation activities of the Demon Race will be twice as effective with half the effort. At the same time, righteous Righteous Qi and other yang-like qualities will be suppressed."
Yu Guyue looked up and glanced at it a few times. It seemed that when such strange phenomena occurred, it was actually the Demon Race who were quicker to sense them.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu suddenly realized that this was probably a lunar eclipse in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. It was just a few days of unusual celestial phenomena and nothing to worry about.
No sooner had Su Mu's thoughts settled than Yu Guyue spoke up, "I'm afraid Great Liang and these vassal states are in trouble."
Why?
Su Mu found it strange.
" Demon Race with some cultivation can naturally adjust themselves, but Demon Race with insufficient willpower are prone to losing their rationality and going berserk when their cultivation surges. In that case, it would be normal for them to attack villages and cities."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was taken aback, then his expression hardened.
During the lunar eclipse, with the Demon Power of all the Demon Race races surging, they will launch a frenzied attack on all towns and cities, which will definitely be a terrible disaster.
In particular, Yu Guyue also said that Righteous Qi and other masculine elements would be suppressed, which is to say that the torches that were originally lit in various places would begin to go out.
Isn't this telling the Demon Race that there's nothing here that can threaten them anymore?
Just as Su Mu thought of this, the talented scholars who had gathered urgently in the capital of Great Liang hurriedly left.
