“Darryl, you are young yet speak so arrogantly.
Who taught you so? Do you really think you’re the best in the world?”
“Yes, scholars like us must know how to be low-key and humble. Don’t you know there are more talented people in the world?”
Though surrounded by the sounds of rebuke, Darryl did not panic at all and stood there with a smile while quietly admiring Debra’s figure behind the gauze curtain.
‘How great if I could see the respectful Artemis Sect Master’s face.
‘Is she as beautiful as I imagined her to be?
‘Eh?’
Suddenly, Darryl’s gaze fell on Debra’s phoenix throne.
The phoenix throne was carved from white jade which suited Debra’s status of being noble and elegant. On the phoenix throne were images of dragon and phoenix dancing with two lines of poems.
‘When autumn’s breeze encounters a dew of jewels.
‘Outruns are numerous earthly affairs.’
The poem was from the World Universe! It was a famous poem by Qin Guan of the Song Dynasty, ‘ The Immortal Magpie Bridge’.
The entire poem sounded as such.
Deliberately made are drifting clouds.
Dints of regrets lie in shooting stars.
We travel in secret along the Milky-Way.
When autumn’s breeze encounters a dew of jewels.
Outruns are numerous earthly affairs.
The caress of my lover streams like a pond.
Such a date only found in dreamland.
The way back home is painstakingly long.
If our love is to prevail through time and space.
Parting for now will be of no consequence.
On the phoenix throne was a poem from the World Universe!
‘Why are there only two sentences inscribed on the throne?’
Darryl looked at the jade panel screen firmly while muttering in his heart, ‘Could someone from the World Universe be in the Artemis Sect?’
A person popped up in Darryl’s mind when he thought about it.
‘F*ck!
‘Is it the Abbess Master Serendipity?’
Out of curiosity, Darryl asked Debra, “Excuse me, Sect Master. Who wrote these two lines of poetry on the phoenix throne?”
Huh!
In an instant, everyone’s eyes fell on the phoenix throne with their expressions suddenly becoming complicated.
‘What?’
‘Is he passing comments about these two lines of poetry?’
Darryl did not know that the two lines of poetry were extremely sacred in Artemis Sect!
Four hundred years ago, the 29th Artemis Sect Master who was brilliant and talented wrote countless great poems!
The 29th Sect Master was a learned scholar and also a capable fighter. He was an unparalleled talent! He managed the Artemis Sect well and when he was in charge, the Artemis Sect had a million disciples! It was not excessive to claim that the Artemis Sect would not be what it was without him and his great contributions.
