Princess Lin'an explained, "I don't know what kind of treasures you need, so I'll just give you the money. You can buy whatever you want yourself."

She knew that what Li Xuan lacked most at this stage was spiritual medicine to improve his cultivation.

But she didn't either.

It's unknown whether Li Xuan likes or needs the other treasures.

So let's be more direct and just give them the money.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Although Li Xuan is no longer short of money, he still earns a gold bar for each poem he writes.

It's still a deposit, why not do this free business?

Nobody complains about having too much money!

"The poem I give you at the banquet will surely shine brightly and make you an overnight sensation!"

"Of course, whether we can win first place is not guaranteed."

Li Xuan put away the gold bars and said.

"enough!"

Princess Lin'an smiled broadly.

Her goal was to make Li Xuan shine at the banquet and showcase his talent.

At that time, she could then legitimately ask her father and mother to find a son-in-law.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Li Xuan took the box and turned to leave.

Watching Li Xuan's departing figure, Lin An's almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and she softly parted her lips, saying, "Once I've taken down Li Xuan, Huaiqing, let's see how you compete with me then?"

"Just wait until I suppress you and humiliate you severely!"

Lin'an clenched her delicate fists, her face full of anticipation.

They left the princess's residence.

Li Xuan put the gold bar box into his spatial storage and returned to the Haoqi Tower.

But they hadn't walked more than a few steps.

Then he heard someone call out from behind: "Young Master Li".

Li Xuan turned around and looked.

I saw a woman walking quickly towards me.

"Huaiqing's maid?"

He recognized it.

A maidservant trotted over and said, "Young Master Li, I was just about to go to Haoqi Tower to invite you, but I didn't expect to run into you here."

The residences of Princess Lin'an and Princess Huaiqing outside the palace were not far apart.

Li Xuan asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

The maid replied, "Our eldest princess requests your presence."

Li Xuan glanced at Princess Lin'an's residence and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no familiar faces.

After all, he had just come from the Lin'an mansion not far away, and now he was being invited by Huaiqing, Lin'an's rival.

If Lin'an saw this, wouldn't he be furious?

He quickly nodded and said, "Okay, lead the way!"

"Young Master Li, please!" The maid gestured invitingly and then walked ahead.

Li Xuan followed closely behind.

After a while.

The two arrived deep within the mansion and saw Princess Huaiqing at a waterside pavilion.

same.

Huaiqing is holding a calligraphy brush and writing an article.

On the stone table in front of her were some papers covered with poems.

Upon seeing this, Li Xuan was immediately stunned.

She had just witnessed this scene.

The same thing happened in Lin'an just now, also at the waterside pavilion.

"As expected of our rival!"

"Even the situation is similar."

Li Xuan felt a surge of emotion.

The only difference is that Huaiqing's calligraphy is very beautiful, clearly showing that he put a lot of effort into it.

Lin'an's work, however, was rather hasty and of average quality.

We walked to the waterside pavilion.

The maidservant said respectfully, "Young Master Li, please come over."

Li Xuan walked over.

Huaiqing is holding a calligraphy brush and writing a farewell poem.

"The morning rain in Weicheng dampens the light dust, and the willows by the inn are fresh and green; I urge you to drink another cup of wine, for beyond Yangguan there will be no old friends."

Huaiqing's lips moved, and a voice rang out.

She put down her brush and looked at Li Xuandao.

"A timeless masterpiece!"

"Huaiqing admires you!"

But soon, she frowned and asked, "Brother Li, why have I never heard of Weicheng?"

The Great Feng also had a Yangguan Road, so Huaiqing was not surprised.

However, I have never heard of Weicheng.

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "This is a place name I once saw in an ancient book."

"But now it has been desertified, long since disappeared, and become dust of history."

"I see." Huaiqing nodded slightly, suddenly realizing.

The Great Feng Dynasty has only been established for about six hundred years. Before that, there were many other dynasties.

Beyond the dynasty lie demonic realms, the southern frontier, and the Buddhist celestial domains...

Furthermore, battles between third-rank experts often shatter mountains and rivers, destroying entire regions.

Not to mention the second or first grade realm.

Therefore, much of the past history, people, and places have long since become history and cannot be traced back.

Therefore, she did not doubt Li Xuan's statement.

Surely Li Xuan couldn't have just made up Weicheng out of thin air, could he?

Huaiqing added, "Young Master Li, you are truly a man of hidden talent. You remain silent until you make a stunning remark."

"Huaiqing thought you only had the talent of a sorcerer, but he never expected that you would also be unparalleled in the world in terms of talent and poetry."

"After his four farewell poems were published, they spread throughout the capital and beyond, and he was hailed as the foremost poet of farewell, a man of exceptional talent."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan sighed inwardly.

Just like Lin'an, Huaiqing was also attracted by his farewell poem.

"Could it be that you summoned me here for the upcoming banquet?"

He looked at Huaiqing and couldn't help but think.

He remained calm and asked, "Princess Huaiqing, what brings you here?"

Huaiqing was stunned.

Asking so directly?

But since Li Xuan has already asked this question...

She didn't hide it any longer, and said with her red lips slightly parted, "Then I'll just say it directly."

"I would like to ask Mr. Li to compose a poem for me at the royal banquet so that I can win first place."

It really is!

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan was both amused and exasperated.

First, it was the younger sister, Lin'an, who invited me, and then the older sister, Huaiqing, invited me.
