It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival held in Guangling City on the fifth day of May in the 23rd year of Zhaohua was the most boring literary gathering in history.

At that literary conference, there was no eye-catching poetry as expected. Instead, it became famous because of the farce.

After that cultural gathering, the name of Taohua Niang became a household name in Guangling City.

The name Li Chenan once again entered everyone's field of vision.

Of course, the name of Huo Shufan, the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family, has also become a talking point among the people of Guangling.

What the young master of the Huo family did at that cultural conference was naturally disgusting, but this statement was gradually covered up by another statement -

"Didn't it mean that the song "Die Lian Hua" was written by Li Chen'an? Didn't it mean that his poem could be included in the "Ning Shi Ci Collection"? "

"Since he has such a high talent, why didn't he go to that literary meeting?"

"What Brother Zhao said is absolutely true. If he wins the top spot at that cultural gathering, not only will he be able to wash away his reputation as a fool, but he will also be able to raise his reputation as a peach blossom wine even higher!"

"So if you think about it, if he attended that cultural gathering, it would have been beneficial to him without any harm, but why didn't he go?"

Someone suddenly realized it and clapped their hands and shouted: "This guy... is just trying to get fame! No wonder some people say that the song "Die Lian Hua" was not written by him at all!"

"In fact, he doesn't know how to compose any poetry at all. If he went to that literary conference and took the stage, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face!"

"So, he is still the fool who can't even recite the Three-Character Sutra?"

"That's right!"

…

…

There is a pavilion on Peach Blossom Mountain.

This pavilion is located on the lakeside above Nalian Waterfall.

The pavilion is named Tingtao and looks far away from the waterfall below.

Under the setting sun, three people are sitting in the Pavilion listening to the waves.

They are Shang Di, Wu Xichen and Li Chenan.

There was a wine jar on the table, and both Shang Di and Wu Xichen's eyes fell on the wine jar.

For a moment, Shang Di looked at Li Chen'an and said, "The people in Guangling City are getting more and more unfavorable about your reputation. You have such a stable mentality that you don't care about it. Instead, you are still immersed in the wine shop."

, you really made this peach blossom wine!"

Li Chenan chuckled and said two words that stunned Shang Di——

"There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, belittle me, despise me, hate me, or lie to me. How should I deal with them?"

"Just tolerate him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years, you can see him!"

These two sentences lingered in Shang Di's ears and were deeply engraved in his mind.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand this old acquaintance, because these two sentences contained extremely subtle philosophy of dealing with things.

How many people in the world can see through things like Li Chenan?

How many people in the world can face it with such open-mindedness as him?

He is only seventeen, but he seems to have the profound wisdom of a seventy-year-old wise man.

"good!"

"That is nice!"

Shang Di slapped his hand on the table, with an excited look on his face, "Brother, I have lived a long life in vain. Now I am awakened by my two words. When I open the wine, I will be confused with you!"

Wu Xichen on the side also silently glanced at his apprentice.

At first, I was reluctant to teach this kid martial arts for the sake of the third lady.

On the first night, I was photographed by this guy.

He touched his forehead and smiled happily.

He now likes this apprentice more and more, not only because this apprentice has mastered the first four movements of the Fuji Zhou Tian Jue, but also because this apprentice has a very high understanding.

It's not that Fuji swordsmanship, Fuji sword has no swordsmanship.

The main reason is that this boy's flying knife is becoming more and more interesting.

With this kid's current skills, he has already entered the upper level of the Eighth Realm.

If his internal strength were stronger, he would be able to enter the Seventh Realm.

If he understands all the movements of Fuji Zhoutian Jue... the future is promising!

Li Chenan didn't think about this at all.

Today, a brewing workshop brewed the first vat of peach blossom wine, and everyone happened to be here, so he took a jar and followed the master to the Tingtao Pavilion and invited them to taste it.

He opened the mud seal of the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly wafted out.

Shang Di's eyes lit up, he leaned over, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. At that moment, the wrinkles on his face seemed to radiate a light of comfort.

“Good wine!”

"The wine brewed by my apprentice is of course good wine!"

Shang Di opened his eyes and glared at Wu Xichen, "If you don't speak, I won't treat you as a mute!"

Li Chenan poured the wine with a smile. He was used to the noise when the two met.

"Brother Shang, are you free today?"

"He has a good nose, and he smelled your wine and brewed it just right!"

Shang Di was furious, but he calmed down in an instant, and even showed a smile: "You slander me, bully me and humiliate me, I just have to tolerate you and let you, it's up to you."

"Let me ask you, on the night when the Fish and Dragon Society of Zhuoyu Xiaozhu was destroyed, who did you, old man, go to that place to help?"

Wu Xichen picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip, lifted up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, "Who do I need to report to you?"

Shang Di was still lifeless.

He also picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, smashed it in his mouth, put down the wine bowl, and looked at Wu Xichen very seriously.

"That scholar has come out of the secret prison of the Imperial City Department!"

Wu Xichen was immediately startled, "Chang Shusheng, the master of painting? How did this devil come out?"

"It doesn't matter how he came out. The Imperial City Secretary suspects that he has joined the Fish and Dragon Society and is hiding somewhere in Jiangnan Province!"

Li Chen'an was immediately curious, "Who is this Scholar Chang?"

Wu Xichen took a deep breath and said, "There are six strange people in the world today."

"One monk, one Taoist priest, one immortal, one beggar, one nun, one scholar!"

"Scholar refers to the scholar who is always good at painting."

"This guy is about forty years old, and he has an unrivaled skill in painting... He used to only know how to paint, but unexpectedly he used painting to enter martial arts, and realized his unique set of inner skills in painting.

Dharma and swordsmanship.”

"He was thirty years old that year. Only three days after his enlightenment, he had perfected his mental skills and swordsmanship, and entered the middle level of the second realm in one fell swoop!"

"Then he started killing people!"

"Kill those who looked down on him and bullied him."

"He lived in a small town called Banqiao. That night, he almost killed everyone in the town and entered the lower level of the first realm!"

"He walks around the world dressed as a scholar, killing people with just a thought, and then...painting with human blood, especially likes to paint maple leaves under the sunset."

"Five years ago, he was captured by Wang Zhengjinzhong of the Imperial City Division and imprisoned in the secret prison of the Imperial City Division,"

Wu Xichen looked at Shang Di: "Is he killing anyone now?"

"We haven't found out yet, but if we don't get rid of this person, the world will be in trouble!"

"If he really joins the Fish and Dragon Society, he will be in endless trouble!"

"So I have to find the list of the Guangling Prefecture Fish and Dragon Association, and you have to tell me who you helped that night!"

Li Chenan thought of the list he carried in his arms, and the name Chang Shusheng was indeed in it.

He was about to take out the list, but unexpectedly he heard Wu Xichen say: "That night, I happened to pass by by chance. It happened that there was a fire in Zhuoyu Xiaozhu, so I went in to take a look. I really wasn't going to help someone."

Li Chenan looked at Wu Xichen.

Wu Xichen drank calmly, his face clean.
