Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu's character of not asking for help from others in everything was honed by the hardships he had experienced in the past. He had never received care from his elders, and everything was earned by himself, so he felt at ease.

Even if Bai Potian threw a huge pie to him, he would not care about it.

So what if I don’t take it?

I'm still me!

This kind of character and dialogue is enough to make some old heroes sigh that it is the best way to have a son.

Outsiders will appreciate it, but relatives will only feel distressed.

Bai Yu thought that these words should end here.

But Bai Potian still insisted, "You don't have to be so decisive. Rome is a great place, and you can't just ignore the Bai family's legacy. You have to go anyway."

Bai Yu could only offer a universal answer: "We'll consider future matters later. Grandfather, you're still going strong."

Bai Potian twirled the wine glass between his fingers and tapped the table lightly: "Grandpa won't force you to make a decision, but you still have to marry in Rome in the future."

The old man interrupted Bai Yu's prepared speech and said, "It's not appropriate to say these things in front of the younger generation, but the situation in Rome is different from that in Daxia. It doesn't conflict with you marrying in two different places."

Bai Yu's mouth twitched: "One wife in one country is not illegal, right?"

In the jokes on the Internet in the past, how could anyone really have such a bug?

"Grandpa is just reminding you." Bai Potian said with a smile, "As an elder, we don't really mind whether you're unfaithful or not. As long as you're capable and not afraid of your wife, it's no problem to marry more than one. Just act boldly and I'll figure out the solution!"

...Is there such a good thing?

Bai Yu was ready to make a move.

Su Ruoli asked lightly, "Does Grandpa Bai have other wives abroad?"

"Nonsense," Bai Potian immediately clarified, "I was only a teenager when I came to Daxia, and I've been here for over a decade. How could I have other wives? I'm devoted to my wife, and I've never had any thoughts of having a romantic relationship with her!"

Su Ruoli skillfully defused the other party's rhetoric.

Bai Yu was unwilling to admit the idea of starting a harem that all the old ACG people had, so he could only cough and say, "It's too early to talk about marriage. Let's talk about it in a few years."

"Whatever." Bai Potian sighed, then took out a letter from his arms, placed it on the table and pushed it towards Bai Yu: "Open it and take a look."

Bai Yu opened the letter and saw lines of text. After translation, the Roman font was refined into a simple text: "Recommendation letter for studying abroad?"

"This letter is a recommendation letter written by the Vice President of the Royal Academy of Rome, who is also an old friend of mine."

Bai Potian stood up, pressing the table. "In half a year, you will be attending the Imperial Academy as an exchange student! The higher-ups at Penglai Academy will be notified of this soon."

"Grandpa can promise not to force you back to the West this time and give you six months to sort out everything."

"In half a year, you must set off for the West. Grandpa will be waiting for you in the capital of Rome!"

Now Su Ruoli has only one idea.

——Is the map of Yan State so long?

It turns out that after going around in circles and talking about private matters, the truth is revealed in the end.

Bai Potian had already prepared this letter before he came, and as long as he took it out, Bai Yu would have no way to refuse.

What he said before showed his peaceful and easy-going side as an elder. Now he took out this letter to say that he had made up his mind, and the two younger generations should not think of changing it too easily.

Su Ruoli was in a bad mood.

There is only one letter of recommendation, and it definitely isn't hers.

So half a year later, I was forced to separate from Bai Yu.

This made her, whose name contained the word "Li", feel as if there was a flame burning in her heart.

She doesn't like separation.

"How long will you study abroad?" Su Ruoli asked proactively.

"One year." Bai Potian replied.

"It's too long, half a year at most!"

"Su girl, this is not a bargain. What can you learn in half a year?"

Bai Potian laughed: "Studying abroad at the Imperial Academy is a very valuable academic qualification, and I am watching over you."

The old man said earnestly: "After studying abroad for a year, he can go and pick up his mother!"

Su Ruoli raised her eyes, feeling a little angry and aggrieved. She wanted to yell loudly, but the last sentence blocked all her resistance.

Bai Potian didn't mention the blind date at all, but instead brought up Bei Ming Yao. How could she object?

Being taught by the calligraphy master through words and deeds will definitely help you improve faster than learning by yourself.

Bai Yu has been working so hard since he was young, isn't it just to be reunited with his family one day?

Is he going to say that Bai Yu should give up the opportunity to study abroad because he is reluctant?

Isn't this equivalent to being selfish and asking him to wait a few more years before taking his mother home?

How could she object?

But she also didn't believe that Bai Potian would really do nothing during this year.

At least a few blind dates a month will definitely be arranged.

It’s not that she didn’t believe in Bai Yu’s determination, but just thinking about it made her feel jealous!

I couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock for a while.

Bai Yu held his forehead with his hand and said, "You should at least discuss this matter with me."

He was not dissatisfied. He would go to Rome sooner or later, and if he went to the Royal Academy, he might be able to find some trace of Elise.

But being arranged directly like this feels a bit abrupt and a bit awkward - is it really that they even used this trick just to get me on a blind date?

The old man folded his arms and sat down, his posture as if he was a master. “Don’t blame me for not discussing this with you in advance. I just wanted to leave another impression on you.”

"Once adults with social resources and status start manipulating society, it will be very difficult for you, without a background, family background, or the support of your elders, to resist."

"This is a lesson I learned during my first decade or so in Daxia. I was practically met with resistance everywhere... In Daxia, even street vendors would charge a few extra yuan for breakfast just because my accent wasn't local."

"You can't even handle the attacks of an old man like me from Rome. If you were to encounter difficulties from the Martial Saint Pavilion or be targeted by those thousand-year-old families...how would you handle it?"

He said earnestly, "Although your future is undoubtedly bright, your future and potential cannot be converted into the present. At most, they are a bargaining chip. There will always be some old guys who don't value your talent and will take action."

"Although Penglai is relatively peaceful, it's not always so peaceful."

"When you enter the Divine Martial Division in the future, you will gradually see that family background is very important, and elders are also very important. Otherwise, even if the White Tiger Hall has declined, it would not be the turn of a little girl to become the hall master."

Mu Yaoxi blushed: "I won it with my own ability!"

Tao Rusu deeply agreed: "If you were not the daughter of the Mu family, you would not be able to sit in this position so firmly and securely."

"Grandpa didn't really want to lecture you at length this time." The old man felt a little ashamed. "But at this point, it would be inappropriate not to say something. Grandpa, I must tell you in advance what I want to do next time. It's a rare trip, but I can't give you any gifts. You don't like these girls, and you can't use the things I originally prepared to strengthen your body... I can only think that after you go to Rome, I will show you how rich my Bai family is. Then we will have everything we want."

There is a sense of uneasiness in his words and deeds. He speaks in a grand manner, but still seems uneasily aware.

Bai Yu didn't get angry either, so she smiled in relief: "If you want to give me a gift, why not write a calligraphy for me and Ruoli?"

"it is good!"

Bai Potian agreed decisively.

As a calligrapher, every word of his was worth a thousand gold coins, but when his grandson asked for a calligraphy, he still felt unsatisfied even if he wrote a cursive copy of the Lanting Preface.

"I'll get some pen and ink!"

Mu Yaoxi was also unwilling to give up the opportunity to read the original works of the calligraphy master.

This is a close-up look at the Holy Way!

Sure enough, good things always happen when you get together with Bai Yu!

Bai Potian also saw with his own eyes that Mu Yaoxi was firmly on Bai Yu's side, so he didn't mind the girl taking a look at his calligraphy... In fact, Bai Potian also had some grudges with the Mu family, although that was a long time ago. It was not a bad thing for the two juniors to establish a friendship.

After clearing the dining table, spread out rice paper.

Daxia is already a modern country. Because of the existence of extraordinary people, the protection and inheritance of traditional culture is equally important. In the past, there were scholars who were able to become saints through reading.

Bai Potian is also a calligrapher who achieved his success through calligraphy, which shows that this path still has great advantages over martial arts.

The martial arts is like the Yangguan Avenue, which anyone can walk on, while the smaller paths of reading, writing, and playing the piano require one to forge one's own paths.

Sometimes, the small paths are not as crowded as the main roads, so you can walk faster.

In short, the cultural atmosphere of Daxia has an influence on poetry and songs.

There are special courses in compulsory education, and poetry and songs are indispensable for childhood enlightenment.

This is a cultural identity in the blood of a nation.

Bai Potian has written countless popular calligraphy works while practicing calligraphy, and he has copied the handwriting of ancient masters over and over again.

"What kind of poem should I write?" Bai Potian fell into thought.

Although he is a saint of calligraphy, he is not a saint of poetry or lyrics. He is not good at poetry and can only borrow the wisdom of his predecessors.

Fortunately, Bai Yu didn't intend to embarrass the old man. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's write a poem called 'Lime Chant'."

When I think about the time when I was hit by a car and died in my previous life, I was also thinking about Zhu Shi’s last two lines. I only regretted that I couldn’t quickly format my phone.

"What is Lime Chant?" Su Ruoli asked in confusion.

"You haven't heard of it?"

"No." Not only Su Ruoli, but several others also shook their heads.

Bai Yu touched his chin.

That's not possible, is it? Could it be that such a famous poem hasn't been passed down?

Is it because the name has changed?

He thought for a moment and then recited: "Thousands of hammers and chisels have carved out the mountains, and fierce fires have burned them with ease."

Bai Potian's eyes lit up. It was indeed a verse he had never heard of before. He never thought that his grandson could compose poetry?

"Really never heard of it?" Bai Yu asked.

"What's next?" Tao Rusu also urged the second half.

It seems that there is really no lime chant in this world, and I don’t know where the generation was interrupted.

Bai Yu continued to recite without any psychological pressure: "I am not afraid of being torn to pieces, I just want to leave my innocence in this world."

He added in his heart, 'If I had known earlier, I should have left a suicide note at home and asked my family to format my computer's hard drive. If I had known earlier, I should have set the browser history to be cleared at fixed time periods.'

"Lime Chant", "Bamboo and Rock" and "Horse Poem" are three ancient poems in the sixth grade textbook.

The former two are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, while the latter is from Li He in the Tang Dynasty.

Is there no poetry from the Ming and Qing dynasties here?

Bai Yu recalled it carefully, and it seemed that it was possible, but not completely.

He immediately noticed Mu Yaoxi's sparkling eyes and was surprised and excited: "You, you can write poetry?"

"I didn't write this," Bai Yu explained. "This is a line from a Ming Dynasty poet."

"What Ming Dynasty?" Tao Rusu complained, "Can you make it more realistic?"

Bai Potian became more energetic and wrote with great vigor.

The cursive script is in regular script, and the calligraphy of the calligrapher is naturally extraordinary.

The seven-character quatrain written vertically from right to left has an ancient style and is completed in one breath.

It is as if a dragon or snake is swimming on the white rice paper. One can vaguely see the lime burned by forging and the white left after burning in the poem.

There is naturally a sense of Taoism hidden in the poems written by the Sage of Calligraphy.

After finishing writing in one breath, Bai Potian exhaled: "This poem has the spirit of sacrificing one's life for charity. It has a good line, 'Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must leave your innocence in the world'!"

"It's indeed a famous line, the kind that will be sung through the ages. Ancient scholars valued integrity the most, just like Wen Tianxiang's line, 'Since ancient times, everyone is mortal, but I will leave behind a loyal heart that will shine through history,' which established his status in the literary world!" Mu Yaoxi said immediately, "I must write this down. Later, I will make you famous in the imperial capital!"

"Are you also a poetry fan?" Bai Yu didn't expect that Mu Yaoxi had this new attribute.

"But I'm not the only one!" Mu Yaoxi said seriously, "Don't you know that half of the talented scholars in the world gather in the imperial capital? Popular articles spread in the imperial capital can become famous all over the world! Just for this poem "Lime Chant", I don't know how many people will make you famous in the imperial capital! Scholars value integrity the most!"
