Chapter 185: A Crane Soars into the Clear Sky, Stirring Poetic Feelings to the Heavens (2 / 2)
When he arrived, Xu Yanmiao realized the fuss wasn’t anything special. It was just Marquis Hongyang’s cousin showing off a painting he had made.
—Judging by the timing and setting, he had either finished most of it beforehand or completed it during the banquet.
The others crowded around him, showering his artistic skills with praise.
“Langjun, this crescent moon and frosty crane are truly ethereal. For hundreds of years, anyone who paints cranes would surely bow before your talent.”
“Beautiful! Simply breathtaking!”
“Langjun, why is this section left blank? Could it be that you’re planning to inscribe a poem here?”
Zhao Li eagerly jumped in, “Precisely.”
The onlookers applauded again, exclaiming how lucky they were to witness Zhao Langjun’s poetic prowess in person.
Finding it all dull, Xu Yanmiao was just about to leave—he had even turned halfway around—when he heard Zhao Li say, “It’s not me who will inscribe a poem. I’d like to introduce you all to a talented scholar—Xu Lang! How fortunate that you’re here, saving me the trouble of seeking you out.”
