Su Jue chose this poem because it matched well with the painting.

Although this poem might be slightly inferior compared to those timeless classics, the last two lines were enough to astonish Li Changle.

Moreover, the cultural level of this world was indeed low, with most circulated poems being mediocre, so he was quite confident.

Judging by Li Changle's expression, it seemed he had succeeded.

"I never expected Young Master Su to have such great talent!"

Li Changle looked at Su Jue in amazement. To compare a waterfall to the Milky Way, such bold imagination and creativity truly impressed her.

Hearing Li Changle's praise, everyone present became curious.

What kind of words could earn such high praise from Li Changle?

"Would it be possible to exchange this poem and painting for a treasure from the Imperial Family?"

Su Jue smiled.

"Give it to me? This poem for me? Young Master Su, are you serious?"

Li Changle looked at Su Jue in disbelief.

As a royal princess of the Zhenguan Dynasty, she had seen many grand occasions and priceless treasures.

What moved her so deeply was just this poem by Su Jue.

It was a poem worthy of being passed down through the ages, and he just gave it to her, leaving Li Changle, who had little resistance to literature, utterly shocked!

"A gentleman's word is his bond."

Su Jue nodded. It was just a poem; he had many more in his mind and didn't mind at all.

"No problem, of course not."

Li Changle quickly put the painting away, treating it like a treasure and placing it into her storage ring.

She looked as if she was afraid someone might snatch it away.

"Sister... Xiao Qing, go fetch that scroll!"

Li Changle instructed, almost calling out the wrong name in her haste, fearing Su Jue might change his mind.

"Yes!"

Xiao Qing gave Su Jue a deep look, surprised that this infuriating man could have such literary talent.

Even she, who wasn't much interested in literature, was amazed.

Below, those who saw Li Changle's expression and heard her praise were all curious about what was written on the back of the painting.

"Young Master Su, what is this painting called?"

"Let's call it 'Gazing at the Lushan Waterfall.'"

Su Jue thought for a moment and replied.

Li Changle memorized it deeply: "Great! It seems the mountain depicted here is Lushan. If I have the chance, I must visit it!"

"To see with my own eyes, as if the Milky Way is falling from the heavens!"

Su Jue coughed lightly and said nothing. There was no Lushan in this world.

But there should be similar places, given that the Central Continent was dozens of times larger than the Blue Planet.

Li Changle asked again, "Does Young Master Su mind if this painting is shown to others?"

"I don't mind; the painting belongs to the Princess, to dispose of as she wishes."

Su Jue didn't care and smiled slightly.

"Fair is fair; although this painting was a gift from Young Master Su, Changle will still announce publicly that it was written by you."

Li Changle shook her head, speaking seriously.

"That's fine; Princess Changle can decide."

Su Jue smiled nonchalantly, but inwardly he admired Li Changle a bit more. As expected of the Eldest Princess, her perspective was indeed broad.

"Someone, read this painting aloud!"

Li Changle smiled sweetly, looking at Su Jue with deep admiration in her eyes.

Another maid beside her stepped forward, having been very curious about the poem on the back of the painting.

What kind of magic could make the Eldest Princess, who had never shown such emotional fluctuations, so amazed? But she wasn't as bold as Xiao Qing.

Upon seeing the poem, the maid's beautiful eyes lit up, glancing at Su Jue, finding it hard to believe there could be such a perfect man in the world.

Handsome, talented, and with such outstanding literary skills.

No wonder the Eldest Princess was so impressed; even if it were the Empress, she would be too!

Everyone present perked up their ears upon hearing this.

They also wanted to see what kind of poetry could make the Princess so excited.

"The sun illuminates the incense burner, creating purple smoke, from afar the waterfall hangs before the river."

"The stream cascades down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the heavens."

Soon, the poem was recited clearly by the maid.

The poem was catchy, and just by listening to it, a majestic image of the waterfall appeared in their minds.

The poem was on the back of the drawing paper, so everyone also got a clear view of the painting.

The crowd wasn't foolish; it was evident that this poem, worthy of being remembered for ages, was composed based on the painting!

Soon, as the poem concluded, thunderous applause erupted in the tavern.

After all, they were geniuses from various sects, and although most of them favored martial arts over literature, they had some literary background.

Su Jue was already handsome and extraordinary, with an ethereal aura like a celestial being.

In this tavern, there were few men, and not just here but throughout the Central Continent, who could compare to Su Jue's looks.

Combined with such excellent literary talent, some female cultivators looked at him with starry eyes, wishing they could confess their feelings to him.

"Did Su Jue just write this poem?"

An Ke was stunned. The painting was one she had made back home, and the mountain was indeed Lushan.

It seemed Su Jue knew her well; otherwise, how could he know about Lushan?

Moreover, Su Jue's literary talent was terrifying. He wrote such an excellent poem after merely glancing at the painting for a few minutes.

She had thought Su Jue was joking when he said he could write poetry, but now it seemed she had overthought!

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Su Jue to care so much about me."

An Ke blushed, realizing she had never told Su Jue about Lushan, so he must have investigated her.

As for why he investigated, it must be because he liked her; otherwise, he wouldn't write this poem unconditionally for her and strive to win treasures for her!

No wonder he invited her for a walk, praised her as more beautiful than the Eldest Princess, and even invited her to sit together on Yun Zhonghe when they came.

This was affection; in Su Jue's eyes, she was more beautiful than Li Changle!

Thinking of this, An Ke's face turned so red it seemed like it could drip water.

With excellent talent, handsome looks, and the literary talent he just displayed, and being so attentive to her, An Ke's heart was instantly moved.

Although Su Jue's words could be infuriating at times, making her teeth itch.

She didn't dislike it; in fact, she quite enjoyed this relaxed and pleasant way of interacting.

"No, he's my junior brother; how can I let my thoughts run wild!"

An Ke quickly shook her head, but no matter how she thought.

Her eyes, when looking at the young man on stage, were filled with a different kind of emotion.

Clearly, a seed had quietly been planted in the budding heart of the young girl.

Li Changle sincerely said, "Young Master Su has such literary talent, Changle is impressed, but Changle has one more thing to ask Young Master Su."

"What is it?" Su Jue had already guessed a bit.

Li Changle's eyes sparkled, staring at Su Jue's extraordinarily handsome face: "I would like to invite Young Master Su to dinner with Changle to discuss poetry. I hope Young Master Su can teach Changle a thing or two."

After speaking, Li Changle's ears turned slightly red; this was the first time she had invited a man to dinner.

Although she had always planned to, the right person had never appeared, so she had kept her reserve buried in her heart.

Now that Su Jue had appeared, in front of everyone, it was her first time, so naturally, she was a bit shy.

As soon as she said this, Su Jue seemed to hear the sound of countless hearts breaking in the audience.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Su Jue's answer, clearly believing he would accept.

After all, this was the Eldest Princess, the top beauty of the Zhenguan Dynasty, with pure royal blood; who wouldn't like her?

Even An Ke in the private room was nervous; if Su Jue accepted, would their evening walk be canceled?

"Thank you for the Eldest Princess's kind offer, but Su Jue already has an appointment."

Su Jue glanced at another stunning beauty behind the beaded curtain and smiled slightly.

An Ke's heart seemed to be struck by that smile, filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy.

"What?"

Everyone present was dumbfounded, staring at Su Jue. Fing hell, this was an opportunity others couldn't even dream of, and Su Jue actually refused!

"Alright."

Li Changle sighed with some regret; she truly wanted to have dinner with Su Jue.

But seeing him refuse, she couldn't say much more, though a faint, easily overlooked disappointment lingered in her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Qing also came out with the scroll, and after Su Jue took the scroll, he winked at Xiao Qing.

Under Xiao Qing's slightly shy gaze, he returned to the private room.

"Senior Sister."

Su Jue entered the private room, just about to say something.

"Junior Brother, why are you so good to me?"

An Ke looked at Su Jue, biting her lip, her expression touched.

"Huh?"

Su Jue was taken aback; why did it suddenly become sentimental?

An Ke, who had always thought she would focus on practice in this life, now said with firm determination, "Junior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely give you a chance!"

"What is all this about?"
