Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 892 Thin Immortal Body

In the next three days, Gu Chan studied the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts of the Diyue Kingdom under the guidance of Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi.

It was during this period of study that she realized that this knowledge was very lengthy and complicated. With her intelligence, she could only understand the general idea. It was simply impossible for her to learn all this knowledge in just three days.

Three nights later, Gu Chan and the other two were sitting at the table in the guest room. Feng Hao looked at Gu Chan with a worried look on his face and said, "Are you really confident that you can write a good article tomorrow?"

"I have no confidence!" Gu Chan said with her hands spread out.

"Then what will you do? You don't want the red spider lily spiritual herb that Prince Leng rewarded you with?" Feng Hao asked.

Gu Chan said shrewdly, "In the past three days, I have figured it out. I have only learned the general knowledge from the books. It is impossible for me to get into the top three. So I am not worried at all. After all, I have you, a great talent, to back me up!"

"What do you mean?" Feng Hao said with a wry smile.

"You have to work hard to get into the top three and get that red spider lily. In this way, if the spiritual herb falls into your hands, I may still have a chance to get it. If it falls into the hands of others, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Gu Chan patted Feng Hao's shoulder and said.

"Ha ha……"

Fang Tianyi sat aside and couldn't help laughing.

Feng Hao said angrily, "The red spider lily spiritual herb can bring the dead back to life. This spiritual herb is a priceless treasure that cannot be obtained even if you beg for it. If I could really get into the top three in the exam and get this spiritual herb as a reward from Prince Leng, I would also treasure it and would not give it to you! What are you thinking?"

"Even if you don't give it to me, based on our friendship, there's at least room for negotiation, right? If it were someone else, there's no point in negotiating with you!" Gu Chan said with a dry laugh.

Feng Hao nodded without comment.

He did admit that Gu Chan's idea was right. Now that the red spider lily herb was in his hands, there was indeed room for negotiation between them.

Fang Tianyi smiled and said, "Brother Fenghao, tomorrow we will depend on you. You have to write an amazing essay and get into the top three."

"Don't worry. I read his previous article 'Ode to the Goddess' after I came to Kyoto. It is indeed well-written and full of talent. I absolutely believe that he can write a better article than 'Ode to the Goddess' this time." Gu Chan praised.

Feng Hao became interested and asked curiously, "Why, you can still understand the true meaning behind the "Ode to the Goddess" I wrote before?"

"Nonsense, aren't you just flattering the Queen? The implication of the article is that she is praising you as the goddess of Tian Shangfan. No wonder she likes you so much and can't wait to take you into her harem." Gu Chan said sarcastically.

Feng Hao pouted awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

He really didn't expect that Gu Chan had such a sharp eye and could see clearly all the little tricks he had hidden in "The Goddess".

Fang Tianyi said stupidly, "You must be wrong! Why didn't I see that Brother Feng Hao was flattering the Queen in "The Goddess"? "

"Tsk! With your stupid head, it's strange that you can figure it out." Gu Chan said with a grin. "Humph! I'm too lazy to argue with you, and you should stop talking nonsense here. In these three days, you haven't read much, and you haven't practiced your calligraphy. I wonder how you will take the spring exam tomorrow." Fang Tianyi said with a pout.

Gu Chan had already guessed that she would bring up this matter, so she simply reached into her sleeve, took out a piece of paper, and spread it out on the table.

Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi looked down carefully and were stunned for a moment.

It was because the paper that Gu Chan took out was filled with lines of thin black characters. Although the characters looked a little weird, they were very beautiful overall. They were not at all like the characters she had written before, which were all crooked and ugly.

This had to surprise them.

Gu Chan was very satisfied with their expressions and said with a proud look, "How about it, my writing is not bad, right?"

"When did you write it?" Fang Tianyi asked.

"I wrote it secretly last night when you two were tired and fell asleep," Gu Chan explained.

Feng Hao exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a font. What style is this?"

"Um... I call it... the Thin Immortal Style... This font is my original creation. How about it, it looks good, right?" Gu Chan's eyes rolled, and he cunningly made up such an answer.

"What a slim fairy body! It's really a good handwriting. You are really amazing. You can write this kind of handwriting by yourself. It will definitely make the examiner's eyes light up." Feng Hao couldn't help but praise.

Fang Tianyi looked puzzled and said, "That's not right! Three days ago, weren't the two characters you wrote crooked? How come you have created a unique thin fairy body now? What's going on?"

"Yeah! How did you come up with this font?" Feng Hao echoed.

Gu Chan chuckled, then reached into her sleeve again, took out the pen that she had secretly made in her spare time during the past three days, and put it on the table.

Feng Hao picked up the pen and looked at it carefully over and over again. He found that the pen made by Gu Chan was completely different from the brushes they used. The pen body was made of a bamboo tube only as thick as a little finger. The top was hollow and stuffed with a small wooden stopper. The bottom was tied with undiluted hard donkey hair and inserted into the pen tube.

In this way, as long as the ground ink is poured into the bamboo tube through the top, the ink will seep along the bamboo tube to the hard donkey hair below and be used to write on paper.

After understanding the structure of the pen, Feng Hao tried to hold the pen and wrote a few words on paper. As expected, the words he wrote were thin strokes, and not at all like the words he had written with a normal brush before, which exuded a thick and powerful feeling.

Fang Tianyi looked relieved and said, "Oh! So that's how it is! The pen you made can write words like this. It's not that only you can write in this Shouxian style, but as long as you hold this pen, it seems that everyone can write in Shouxian style."

"Well, my idea is very simple. Since I can't write calligraphy well, I might as well make a pen myself so that I can write more easily and the words I write will look better. Then I can just give this font a random name, and then everything will be done, right?" Gu Chan said with a smirk.

Fang Tianyi was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and couldn't help but silently give her a thumbs up.

At this moment, Fang Tianyi was truly convinced by Gu Chan and realized how smart her mind was.
