Book of Disaster

Chapter 17 A gentleman takes action rather than talks!

"Bai Qi, Bai Qi is here!"

"It's really him! So amazing!"

"Hush, keep your voice down. He is different now. He is the Little Wensheng and the adopted son of Concubine Zhao. We can't afford to offend him."

"Three cups of wine can open up the avenue, and one bowl of wine can harmonize with nature. What a heroic poem! Even the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy have publicly called him the Little Sage of Literature."

……

As soon as Bai Qi stepped into the Wuhun Valley, he immediately attracted the attention of a group of people. They looked at him with sharp eyes, whispered to each other, and their eyes were full of envy.

"Hey, it looks like I'm a celebrity too."

Bai Qi was feeling very proud. Apparently, what happened in Taishi Palace had spread, and things were different now than before.

However, just as Bai Qi was enjoying the envy and admiration of everyone, a harsh voice suddenly broke into everyone's ears:

"Humph, what little literary saint, it's nothing!"

In an instant, the originally noisy crowd fell silent. Bai Qi couldn't help but frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The other party seemed to have no intention of hiding at all. The crowd parted and a young man in white clothes, wearing a jade crown and with a haughty look on his face, walked out from behind the crowd, guarded by several other young men from noble families in luxurious clothes.

In full view of the crowd, the young man in white looked disdainful and didn't give any face at all.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment. Who is this?

Enemy? Enemy?

Where did this idiot come from?

"It's Lu Wuchen. He has always disliked Bai Qi. Now Bai Qi is going to be in trouble."

"Especially at the last Crown Prince's Banquet. I heard that Lu Wuchen's name was originally written on it, but it was eventually taken by Bai Qi. Anyone would be furious if the spot was taken by the person they disliked the most."

"That's right. Moreover, he has become so popular in Taishi Palace. It would be strange if Lu Wuchen is not jealous."

"If he had stayed at home obediently, Lu Wuchen would have had no way to deal with him. But he had poor aptitude and came to participate in the martial spirit awakening ceremony. Lu Wuchen took advantage of him."

……

The crowd was whispering, looking like they were enjoying a good show.

"Bai Qi, you don't think you are great just because you wrote a few crappy articles, do you? This is a place for martial arts training. What's the point of writing good articles? You still can't get a martial spirit? Aren't you still a waste? Don't you think so?"

The young man in white, Lu Wuchen, walked in front of the crowd and sneered at Bai Qi. As soon as he said this, there was a burst of laughter from the surroundings:

"Not worthy!"

"He's nothing!"

"Hahaha!"

The paths of civil and martial arts are distinct and clearly separated. In this world, the status of martial arts is far higher than that of civil.

So what if he is a little literary saint? Bai Qi is widely acknowledged as a waste of martial arts in the capital. This time, he made such a big splash in the Taishi Palace that many people were jealous and dissatisfied with him.

When he saw that someone agreed with him, Lu Wuchen became even more proud.

"Bai Qi, you are the descendant of a general. Isn't it shameful for you to learn to write poetry from those corrupt scholars?"

"Also, is this a place you can come to? How many times have you participated in the royal spirit awakening ceremony? Don't you have any idea? Didn't anyone tell you that it's impossible for you to obtain a spirit?"

"It's true that a shameless person is invincible. Bai Qi, don't you think you can really obtain a martial spirit and practice martial arts? If I were you, I would just go home."

Lu Wuchen's words are sharp and sarcastic, and he is very sarcastic.

"Hehe, that's right! Who in the capital doesn't know that he is the shame of the Bai family? If he really had extraordinary talent, he would have succeeded the first two times. This kid is deceiving himself. He is really 'brave'!"

"What do you know? They are just throwing everything away. What are they afraid of when it's already like this? The Bai family is also a family of military commanders and heroes, but they actually produced such a waste. What a shame!"

"Humph, that's right. You have no self-awareness at all. After three failures, you will be hopeless and become the real laughing stock of the capital."

"The Yuan Dynasty has a rule that if you fail to awaken three times, your noble status will be stripped and you will be demoted to a commoner. From now on, we are no longer people from the same world!"

"Common people, many people who write good articles are born common people! No wonder he writes well... Hey, please make way, I don't want to stand with this common people."

……

All kinds of sarcasm and ridicule were heard everywhere. The expressions and tone of these people were exactly the same as Lu Wuchen's. It was obvious that they were all powerful and of higher status among the princes of the Yuan Dynasty's capital.

The more popular Bai Qi became in Taishi Palace, the more jealous these people became.

Who told Bai Qi not to have a martial soul?

"Let me put this on record. If anyone gets together with this piece of trash from the Bai family, don't blame us for being rude!"

Lu Wuchen said loudly.

Swish, the next moment, a large blank area immediately appeared around Bai Qi. Even the children of noble families who admired Bai Qi subconsciously retreated as if avoiding the plague.

Bai Qi had never expected that his previous life's situation in the capital would be so bad.

"These guys...are really birds of a feather!"

Bai Qi said secretly in his heart.

If it were an ordinary person, being ostracized by so many people, he would have probably been unable to bear it and left in shame, but Bai Qi did not do that.

What the hell? Are you talking nonsense in front of him?

Have you forgotten what he did before he traveled through time?

"A bunch of ignorant, uneducated fellows, I want you to respect me? Do you think you are worthy?"

Bai Qi raised his head, snorted, and looked contemptuous.

As soon as the voice fell, the whole place fell silent. Even Lu Wuchen, who had previously slandered Bai Qi, was stunned.

"You're saying we're ignorant and unlearned?"

Lu Wuchen pointed at himself in disbelief, his face turning red with anger.

The Bai Qi before didn’t have the courage to do this!

Does he know what he is talking about?

Does he know who he is?

Believe it or not, he pressed him to the ground and rubbed him!

"In that case, do you know what this is?"

Bai Qi took out a palm-sized piece of white paper and immediately wrote something on it.

Lu Wuchen was stunned after taking a look. He knew quite a few characters, but he didn't recognize the character that Bai Qi had just written.

"That's called 'ugly'! If you can't even recognize ugliness, aren't you ignorant?"

Bai Qi had a sharp tongue and completely suppressed the other party's arrogance.

What is this called? This is called "being prepared for any eventuality". The environment in which those useless people and trash live is worrying, and they are definitely not immune to being excluded, isolated and suppressed. So Bai Qi prepared this in advance in order to deal with the current situation.

Sure enough, he predicted it right.

Lu Wuchen would never have thought that the "words" on Bai Qi's paper were not from this world at all.

"And even if I fail, what does it have to do with you second-generation rich kids?"

When Bai Qi said this, he glanced at everyone with contempt. His arrogance made everyone very angry.

But Bai Qi didn't care at all. If you dare to do it on the first day, I will do it on the fifteenth.

"Even if I can't get the martial spirit, I am still the 'Hanlin Academy Walking' appointed by His Majesty himself. According to the Yuan Dynasty official system, that is a true third-rank official."

"Besides, my grandfather was personally appointed by the imperial court as the Duke of Zhuguo, and my father was the imperial court's general Wulie. Lu Wuchen, can you compare?"

Bai Qi glanced at everyone and said.

"..."

There was silence all around, and everyone was stunned.

"I'm so pissed off!"

Lu Wuchen was so angry that he could not help but yell:

"How dare a stinky scholar who doesn't know martial arts be so arrogant? Do you really think I can't do anything to you? Hold down his hands and feet, I want to teach him a lesson!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Lu Wuchen called out, many of his followers rushed out, wanting to teach this arrogant piece of trash from the Bai family a lesson.

However, Bai Qi was not afraid at all. Before they rushed over, Bai Qi shook his wrist, and a white round jade pendant of extraordinary quality hanging from a red silk tassel immediately fell from his palm and lay in front of this group of children from aristocratic families.

The jade pendant is engraved with gold and red Yuan Dynasty patterns, which looks very noble.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Bai Qi sneered, confident and fearless:

"The Great Yuan Dynasty has rules. Beating someone who has made great contributions is a serious crime and must be handed over to the Dali Temple for punishment. His Majesty personally conferred me the Viscount of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the Taishi Palace. This is proof."

"Lu Wuchen, if I remember correctly, you guys haven't achieved any honors yet, right?"

"You dare to attack me, are you tired of living? Or is the food in the Dali Temple too lucrative? Do you think you can come back upright after going in?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wuchen, including his followers who were ready to take action, turned extremely pale in an instant.

"The golden red fringe leaf is really the Viscount's jade pendant! He really has achievements!"

"The Yuan Dynasty has a rule that those who are inferior to their superiors and dare to be disrespectful to those who have made great contributions will be punished with eighty strokes of the cane, tattooed on the nose and given words, and handed over to the Dali Temple for punishment."

"If you go in there, you'll be skinned alive even if you don't die."

……

Everyone looked horrified and stepped back involuntarily.

Bai Qi brought up the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, and everyone was shocked.

Fame and honor in the Yuan Dynasty were not easy to earn. Without special contributions, it was impossible to obtain a title.

No one expected that this waste Bai Qi received such a great reward in the Tai Shi Palace. In addition to being a "Walking Member of the Hanlin Academy", he was even awarded the title of Viscount.

You know, the weight of the title is far greater than Bai Qi's empty position.

"Bai Qi, don't bluff me. He's just a viscount. What's the big deal?"

Lu Wuchen looked fierce but was actually weak, and still refused to admit defeat.

On the other side, Bai Qi sneered.

However, before he could finish his words, a loud slap suddenly and fiercely hit Lu Wuchen in the face.

This sudden slap stunned Lu Wuchen.

On the other side, Bai Qi sneered and looked cold and ruthless.

Who does this kid think he is?

Do you really think I will have a long and tedious conversation with him, preaching some great principles?

Bai Qi has always believed that when something happens, he should never complain or force others to do something!

A gentleman would rather take action than talk!
