?Chapter 231: Chapter 190: Master of One Word Chapter 231: Chapter 190: Master of One Word At the Nuanyi Gathering by the creek, aside from the desks and stools along the stream, there was also a large central table set up on the spacious area surrounded by the curved waterway.
On it were displayed poetic writings and drawings, as well as brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Those attending the gathering could come forward to write poetry on a whim, or if they weren’t so inclined, they could sit by the small desks along the creek with their female companions, laughing and chatting, watching the literati and beauties engaged in elegant activities at the main table.
At this moment,
Liu Kongyi snapped back to reality and saw a group of senior and junior sisters gathered around, admiring and praising a piece she had just written titled “Ascending.” She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chide, “Stop looking, you all. Stop with the peculiar praises. I’m not as amazing as you make me out to be. You’re embarrassing me. Master Du is truly remarkable. His ‘A Blossom Red’ really reaches the state of being one with the falling flowers. Look at his departure…”
The girls giggled and teased each other in jest.
All of a sudden, Liu Kongyi turned to everyone at the gathering and crisply said, “For the past few days, something has been troubling me, even hindering my cultivation…”
Everyone looked on with curiosity, ears perked, wondering what was so troubling to warrant concern from such an existence.
Liu Kongyi sighed lightly, took a wine cup, and came to the edge of the creek, gazing into the clear flowing water.
“A while ago, one day, I received a pile of invitations to various gatherings and literary events. But for some reason, I felt rather troubled and declined them all. Around noon, I sipped a few cups of wine alone in the tower, listening to music, and unknowingly dozed off. When I awoke, dusk had fallen. Although the drunkenness had faded, that strange train of thought had not diminished; if anything, it had grown stronger. So I went for a stroll in the small garden outside just as evening was setting in… Ah, that night, when I returned, I was inspired and penned a verse.”
