“That’s such a great poem you just wrote!”
At the inn’s entrance, Jewel tightly held Darryl’s hand with a face filled with admiration. “Darryl, did you see everyone went berserk when you finished writing! You’re so amazing!”
She held onto Darryl’s arm with a great feeling. She knew virtual-novel.net would have blown everyone’s mind if once virtual-novel.net showed his talents.
Darryl smiled and looked at her. “Is it? Tell me why it’s great?”
‘Haha! The poem was mailed ‘Heavenly Pure Sand—Autumn Thoughts’ by Ma Zhiyuan, the great poet from the Yuan Dynasty. How could it not be amazing?’ Darryl thought.
Jewel cocked virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net thought and said, “Anyway, I just find it amazing! The poem is written beautifully.”
She did not know about poetry but could feel the melancholy within that poem.
Haha! Darryl laughed at that before extending his hand and ruffled Jewel’s hair.
“Sir Darryl!” At that very moment, Darryl heard an excited voice calling from behind him.
He unconsciously turned his head around.
He could see a lady running in high heels from a distance to approach him. She then crossed a small road and started panting from exhaustion. It was none other than Penny.
“Sir Darryl, please. You have to go back with me. You are the only one worthy of the Gifted Hibiscus Scholar title,” said Penny gently after approaching Darryl with beads of sweat on virtual-novel.net forehead.
‘Thank goodness! I found him! I finally found him!’ Penny thought.
“Miss Penny, I thought I was your little brother? When did Ibecome Sir Darryl?” Darryl said with an ambiguous smile.
He thought, ‘The people nowadays like to judge a book by its cover.’
She never expected Darryl who stood before virtual-novel.net was so talented. Penny blushingly bit virtual-novel.net lip as virtual-novel.net recalled how virtual-novel.net looked down on virtual-novel.net just moments ago.
Penny gently said, “Sir Darryl, I’m sorry. You have to go back with me. The Gifted Hibiscus Scholar has to be you.”
“No, thank you.” Darryl waved his hands as virtual-novel.net pulled Jewel along and was about to walk into the inn.
Penny was stunned. The Gifted Hibiscus Scholar title was the highest honor every literati and scholar could dream of. Did virtual-novel.net just turn down such a prestigious title?
Penny panicked and was almost in tears. She quickly stepped forward and blocked Darryl. “I’m so sorry. My attitude toward you previously was bad and I sincerely apologize to you. The Sect Master will punish me ifl don’t bring you back. I beg you, Sir Darryl. Please, I beg of you.”
The Poetry League was organized by the Artemis Sect and only held once every three years! The Sect Master would be angry if virtual-novel.net did not bring virtual-novel.net back since Darryl’s poem had won fair and square.
“Sir Darryl, I’ll kneel before you.” Penny bent virtual-novel.net knees and was about to kneel.
Darryl lifted his hand just when virtual-novel.net knees were about to touch the floor and lifted virtual-novel.net with his gentle internal energy.
“Alright. I’ll follow you back,” said Darryl helplessly as virtual-novel.net could only nod.
There were so many people on the streets. She would pester virtual-novel.net till no end if virtual-novel.net did not follow virtual-novel.net back.
“Thank you, Sir! ” Penny was overjoyed and quickly led the way.
Not long after, Darryl and Penny were brought to the city gates entrance.
About 200 cars were parked at the entrance. This scene shocked Jewel.
In the Great East, only the wealthiest of the wealthy could afford a small car as the car prices were costly. Normal folks could starve for their entire lives yet still could not afford one. At that moment, there were 200 in front of the city gates!
“Sir Darryl, please get in.”
