Chapter 55: Doggerel in the Restaurant

He never expected to see Peak Master Ling Wanqing in such a small place.

It was truly unexpected for someone of her level to come to this small Restaurant. Although the Celestial Maiden Sect was a neighbor of the Profound Heaven Sect, it was normal to occasionally run into people from the other Sect in certain places.

This resulted in many Disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect being friends with those from the Celestial Maiden Sect. However, it was basically impossible to run into someone of Ling Wanqing's level; they rarely appeared in the public eye, as they were simply too famous.

Su Yu was much more at ease; it didn't matter where he went, as no one knew him anyway.

If Su Yu hadn't been able to see through Ling Wanqing's disguise, he wouldn't have known she had been here.

Although he was the same, having also come to this small Restaurant, the people in the Restaurant would never imagine that two beings beyond their wildest imagination had arrived in their humble establishment.

Su Yu watched Ling Wanqing. Although they had met once before, he had been so shocked by Ling Wanqing's appearance and figure at that time that he couldn't speak.

The scene where she completely captivated everyone present, until Elder Li spoke up to break the atmosphere and bring people back to their senses, was still fresh in his memory.

But it was the same upon their second meeting. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, it was the same; the feeling had not diminished at all and still brought a great impact to Su Yu.

This woman was too dangerous. He had seen many peerless beauties in this Cultivation World, and even women of stunning beauty who were like celestial maidens descending to the mortal realm, but they were simply not on the same level as Ling Wanqing.

Too dangerous, simply too dangerous. If Ling Wanqing didn't disguise herself to hide her physical features and appearance, trouble would follow her wherever she went.

The commotion Ling Wanqing could cause was no joke.

Even Su Ling'er, who was inside the sword, exclaimed:

"What a beautiful big sister! Ling'er has never seen such a beautiful big sister before."

Su Yu also noticed Ling Wanqing's cultivation, which had reached Nascent Soul Peak Perfection. It seemed that with her ability, it wouldn't be long before she could reach Soul Transformation.

She truly had no flaws at all.

The people in the Restaurant didn't pay any attention to the woman before them and were still frantically showing off their literary talent.

Verses of doggerel were constantly being spoken by the visitors.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who didn't look very young stood up, but what was most impressive about him was his few sparse hairs, which fluttered in the wind whenever it blew.

"Watch me perform one, everyone listen up."

"The older a man gets, the more flamboyant he becomes, with a few hairs fluttering in the wind."

A roar of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

"This brother is really interesting; it fits his image too well! Admirable, admirable, must give him a round of applause for support."

At this moment, another voice rang out. "Everyone, look at my Young Master; he also has a poem."

At this moment, everyone looked over, and a young man who looked quite refined, sitting in the middle of the Restaurant, stood up and said:

"Let everyone admire my literary talent."

"A duck quacks once, quack-quack; a duck quacks three times, quack-quack-quack."

Applause immediately rang out from the audience, "Good, very good!"

They certainly gave him plenty of Face.

At this moment, Wan Peng stood up and said, "Since everyone is so talented, allow me to make a fool of myself as well."

"Seeking leisure in the ancient temple, nothing to do; facing the morning sun alone, the sun is high in the sky."

"Good, good!" The audience below cheered continuously after hearing this poem.

Verses were constantly coming from their mouths, and occasionally some decent poems would appear, but most of them were just doggerel.

The crowd below provided plenty of emotional value, constantly saying how good it was. Of course, Su Yu was just like everyone else, occasionally cheering and applauding.

Ling Wanqing was sitting in the Restaurant. She didn't make any moves for the time being; she just found a seat and sat down, quietly watching the segments of the poetry gathering.

Su Yu didn't care what Ling Wanqing was doing; he just needed to continue being his Passerby, as Ling Wanqing wouldn't be able to discover him anyway.

The key was that Su Yu knew Ling Wanqing, but Ling Wanqing didn't know him.

Even if Su Yu walked up to Ling Wanqing without a disguise, she wouldn't pay any attention to him, just like any ordinary Passerby.

So Su Yu wasn't worried about any accidents happening.

He just needed to continue doing what he usually did here; as for what Ling Wanqing was actually going to do, he would naturally find out in time.

Soon, the poetry gathering ended, and the champion of the poetry gathering was crowned.

At this moment, Wan Peng said happily:

"Thank you all for your support. I didn't expect to win this poetry gathering."

The criteria for judging the poems basically depended on the Restaurant's chief zither player, as everyone had come for her after all.

"I have long heard that the chief zither player in the Restaurant is as beautiful as a flower and exceptionally talented. It is my great honor to be recognized by everyone and the chief zither player."

This Wan Peng always seemed to maintain a refined and easygoing image.

The people in the Restaurant congratulated Wan Peng on winning the championship, and then said:

"Young Master Wan Peng, after today's event ends, my Young Miss will notify you to come up to the pavilion for a visit."

Suddenly, everyone in the Restaurant showed envious looks.

"To be able to meet Young Miss Yu is a blessing of three lifetimes; Young Miss Yu doesn't usually come out to show her Face."

Su Yu smiled at the scene before him and looked at Ling Wanqing without saying anything.

At this moment, the people in the Restaurant said, "Since the poetry gathering is over, let's continue with our performance segment."

"Of course, the finale will be Young Miss Yu's performance, so please look forward to it, everyone."

Suddenly, shocking cheers erupted from the audience. This Young Miss Yu had very high popularity here.

Soon, as each person finished their performance, there were not a few who Su Yu felt played quite well, which was also the reason why he came here.

Because the performances in some Restaurants were just too ordinary, leaving him with no desire to continue listening.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing nodded slightly after listening.

"Alright, now only the last performer remains, and that is our highly anticipated Young Miss Yu."

"Everyone, let's welcome Young Miss Yu with applause."

Suddenly, the audience erupted into thunderous applause and excited shouts.

"Finally waiting for Young Miss Yu's performance. Although we can't see her in person, blocked by the wind screen, just hearing her zither music is enough."

"Yes, yes, her Musical Talent is truly extraordinary."

When Yu Yao arrived and sat down behind the wind screen, the audience immediately fell silent, all waiting for Yu Yao's performance.

At this moment, no one would make a sound. In Su Yu's view, if anyone were to say a word now, they might be thrown out by the crowd here.

Soon, beautiful zither music slowly flowed into everyone's ears. Listening to this zither music, it felt as if one were immersed in the scene, and the audience below gradually became immersed in the zither music.

When Yu Yao stopped playing, thunderous applause suddenly erupted from the audience.

After Yu Yao finished her performance, there would also be a free performance segment; anyone in the audience who was confident could come up and play.
