The laughter continued, and Cheryl was a little embarrassed. She walked to Darryl’s side.
Cheryl parted her red lips slightly and whispered into Darryl’s ear, “Master, Elder Crescent is an elder from the Artemis Sect; he is very knowledgeable and talented. Master, you can’t show off too much in front of him.”
Cheryl thought Darryl’s song was very impressive.
Simon was a famous figure in the Artemis Sect. It would be very easy to make a fool of himself if Darryl did not know how to keep a low profile in front of Simon.
Darryl smiled indifferently and remained silent.
Simon sneered, “Boy, you seemed to be very confident with your talents. Why don’t we have a competition?”
Simon was not about to let some unknown boy, who dared to be arrogant in front of him, off so easily.
“This will be a good show to watch!”
“That’s right. How daring of him to show off in front of Elder Crescent. So shameful!”
“Someone should teach him a lesson and sink his arrogance.”
Everyone was in awe and excited about the competition.
Darryl sighed. He felt a little playful, so he nodded in agreement. “Okay, how do you want to compete? Reciting poems, or writing songs and lyrics?”
What?
‘So, the kid dares to compete with Elder Crescent?’
‘He thinks he is the best!’
The people around started to talk!
Simon looked at Darryl with a faint smile and said coldly, “Good, you are very courageous.”
Simon raised his finger and pointed at the attendant next to him. “Let’s recite poems. If you lose the match, you will kneel and address this attendant next to me as your master and respectfully address me as grandmaster three times, n He would have to call Elder Cresent’s attendant as his master! The crowd laughed.
If Darryl were to call an attendant a master, then that would be very embarrassing for him!
Everyone burst out in laughter again.
Cheryl bit her lips and stomped her feet anxiously. Darryl was her master. If he were to lose and had to call the attendant as his master, what would happen to her?
What a shame!
Furthermore, she thought that Darryl would lose the match, for sure. Even if Darryl could write songs, he might not be able to write any poetry…
Cheryl pulled the corner of Darryl’s clothes; she wanted him to give up and say a few good things to Simon so that they could resolve the matter.
To her surprise, Darryl was indifferent. He only stood there, and he looked proud.
“You—11 When she noticed Darryl’s expression, Cheryl was furious. “Master, don’t start a bet with him…”
At the same time, Jewel also clutched her hand tightly; she looked worried.
‘Does he really want to compete?’
The other party was a well-known academician from the Artemis Sect.
‘Could he win against him in poetry?’
However, Darryl was all smiles; he was not in a panic. ‘Simon is relying on his status and looks down upon the younger disciples. If he wants to make fun of me in public, then I won’t give him any face at all.’
Darryl was well-versed with poems, especially the 3 00 famous poems from the Tang dynasty. He was not afraid.
Darryl laughed and looked at Simon. “Sure, let’s compete in poetry. If you lose, you’ll need to get your wife to kneel and call me master. Remember, it’ s your wife who should kneel before me; not you.
You are too ugly. I don’t want to accept an ugly disciple like you.”
Wow!
The crown exploded in an uproar!
Simon’s wife was Summer Cruz. She was a well-known talented woman who was proficient in everything! She was in her early thirties, and she wore an evening gown that revealed her excellent body shape.
‘This kid is really tough on the bet!’
Simon trembled in anger! As an elder from the Artemis Sect, everyone respected him. The kid in front of him, however, was blatantly disrespectful!
Simon sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll have this bet with you! You must really think that you’re outstanding!”
