Chapter 34 – Compared to my handsomeness, my talent can only be considered average

Su Jue,

Li Changle didn't know why, but when she looked at Su Jue again, she felt a bit nervous.

Even she found it absurd; it had been so long since she last felt nervous.

She couldn't even remember the last time she was nervous.

When Su Jue saw the poetry scroll in Li Changle's hand, he squinted his eyes and said, "This scroll looks familiar."

"Yes, it's yours."

Li Changle nodded and handed the scroll over.

"So that's it. It's from a long time ago. I didn't expect my father to keep it."

Su Jue took the scroll and nodded in realization. No wonder it looked so familiar.

"I didn't expect Young Master Su to have such literary talent. Why hasn't Young Master Su shared these poems with the world?"

"Young Master Su should know better than Changle that each of these poems is enough to be celebrated for ages."

Li Changle voiced her curiosity. Could there really be a man who doesn't seek fame?

"I just don't want to be too high-profile."

Su Jue thought about it. Back then, he was just too bored at home, so he wrote these poems to pass the time.

He didn't expect his father to remember them and even have a famous calligrapher in Chaoge City transcribe them and keep them.

"Well, Young Master Su is indeed extraordinary."

Li Changle admired him. What a reputation, and yet Su Jue simply didn't care for it.

"Do you like them?"

Su Jue asked with a smile.

He had heard from An Ke that Li Changle liked poetry, and it was clear she was interested in these poems.

"Yes!"

It would be a lie to say Li Changle didn't like them. Each poem was enough for her to study for a month.

She was someone who truly loved poetry.

Su Jue said, "Then I'll give them to you."

"What?"

Li Changle was taken aback.

"I said I'll give them to the princess."

Su Jue smiled. "But this copy won't do. The princess should have someone transcribe a copy."

This copy was prepared by his father, so he couldn't just give it away.

Besides, his mother also liked his poems and often admired them.

"Really?"

Li Changle excitedly grasped Su Jue's hand, her phoenix eyes trembling.

She hadn't known how to ask Su Jue, fearing she might be too abrupt.

She didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, clearly overwhelming her.

"Of course it's true. How could Su Jue deceive the princess?"

Su Jue glanced at the two cool jade hands holding his, thinking to himself that Li Changle truly loved poetry.

"Great, you can't go back on your word!"

Li Changle's eyes curved into crescents, her smile blooming like a flower, making everything around the Su Mansion pale in comparison.

She was genuinely happy. She had come to the Su Mansion to have a conversation with Su Jue, and now she had also obtained a transcription of his poems.

Words couldn't describe her inner joy.

Even Su Jue, who had seen countless beauties, was momentarily stunned.

"Young Master Su, why aren't you speaking? You've already agreed, so you can't go back on your word!"

Seeing Su Jue silent, Li Changle thought he regretted it and quickly spoke up.

Su Jue chuckled, surprised that the seemingly elegant and refined Li Changle had such a personality.

"Why are you laughing, Young Master Su?"

Li Changle asked, puzzled.

"Princess Changle, let go of my hand first, and I'll tell you. My skin is delicate, and the princess is hurting me."

Su Jue looked at his hand with a smile.

"Ah!"

Li Changle's face turned crimson, and she quickly withdrew her jade-like hands, stammering, "This, this, this."

Seeing his hand had turned red from her grip, Su Jue was sure the Eldest Princess was genuinely excited.

"Does it hurt, Young Master Su?"

Li Changle asked apologetically, her eyes shy, after seeing Su Jue's reddened hand.

"It's fine. Just let me know next time, Princess."

Su Jue blinked. This pain was nothing; he had faced death without fear.

"There won't be a next time!"

Li Changle huffed.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten her identity as the Eldest Princess.

Now she was more like a little girl who had just received her beloved toy.

"Princess, don't be too happy just yet. I have a condition," Su Jue said.

"What condition? Tell me, and I'll fulfill it!"

Li Changle said confidently. The entire Imperial City was her domain; nothing could be too difficult for her.

She was determined to get a transcription of this scroll!

"The princess knows Su Jue is in the Sword Sect, which is far from Chaoge. My main concern is the Su Clan."

A smart person understands quickly, and before Su Jue could finish, Li Changle interjected, "Rest assured, in a few days, the Su Clan will become the most prominent in Chaoge City."

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but that's not what I meant."

"My parents are not people who seek wealth or power. I don't want them to be too burdened."

"I just want them to live healthily and happily in Chaoge City."

Su Jue shook his head and spoke honestly.

In the future, as he advanced in his practice, he wouldn't be able to visit home often, and he worried about his parents far away in Chaoge.

"No problem, Young Master Su. I, Li Changle, guarantee the Su Clan's safety!"

Li Changle promised.

As the Eldest Princess, this was a simple matter for her.

Su Jue nodded. With Li Changle's assurance, the Su Clan would have no enemies or difficulties in all of Chaoge.

He could finally be at ease.

"Princess, remember to return the scroll to the Su Clan after transcribing it."

Su Jue handed the poetry scroll to Li Changle with a smile.

"Alright!"

Li Changle took the scroll and hesitated before asking, "Su Jue, do you really not like being high-profile?"

Su Jue shook his head. "I was young then."

"And now?"

"Now I have no choice. My path is already determined!"

Li Changle looked into Su Jue's bright eyes, clear and pure, like dazzling stars that made one want to lose themselves in them.

She couldn't help but recall the last line of the scroll.

"When the sea ends, the sky becomes the shore; when the mountain peaks, I am the summit!"

Li Changle was smart. She knew what path Su Jue was referring to.

Since he chose to announce his unprecedented talent, he was destined to forge ahead, overcoming obstacles, and embark on the path to becoming an emperor that everyone would watch!

"It seems Young Master Su doesn't mind me spreading the poetry."

Li Changle smiled slightly.

Su Jue chuckled. "Feel free, Princess. The aura around Su Jue doesn't lack that one bit."

"That's true. Compared to your talent, your literary prowess doesn't quite measure up."

Li Changle sighed.

In this world where martial prowess was revered, literature would always take a backseat to martial achievements.

No matter how astonishing the poetry, it couldn't compare to the awe of reaching the pinnacle of an Emperor-level Expert.

"Actually, that's not the case."

Su Jue suddenly said.

"Hmm? What do you mean, Young Master Su?"

Li Changle looked at Su Jue, puzzled.

"Compared to my handsomeness, my talent is just average."

Su Jue looked earnestly into Li Changle's serious phoenix eyes and said with a straight face.

Li Changle: "..."
