It was a pity the 29th Sect Master passed away due to depression from love life troubles.
He left two lines of a poem before his death.
'When autumn's breeze encounters a dew of jewels.
'Outruns are numerous earthly affairs.'
For hundreds of years, many Artemis Sect disciples tried complementing the lines. Although someone tried to create more lines to complete the poem, the artistic conception was nowhere close.
No one was able to come out with new lines to complete the poem. The poem was then known as the two most sacred lines in the Artemis Sect!
The current Sect Master, Debra liked those two lines very much and got them engraved on her phoenix throne.
"Hey brat, that's not something you should be talking about." Simon stood up and pointed at Darryl. He then yelled, "These two lines are left by the twenty-ninth Artemis Sect Master. Do you think someone like you can simply judge it?"
'What?
'The twenty-ninth Artemis Sect Master?'
Darryl was stunned before asking Debra," Could you please tell me the twenty-ninth Artemis Sect Master's name?"
Darryl was curious!
He was certain the 29th Sect Master must be from the World Universe to write poems from the World Universe!
Debra sighed and said, "The twenty-ninth
Sect Master is called Fulin."
Fulin!
Darryl was even more shocked to hear that name!
Aisin Gioro Fulin! Emperor Kangxi's father and Emperor Yongzheng's grandfather-Emperor Shunzhi!
Darryl took a deep breath. He was excited to hear about the news and for quite some time was unable to calm down!
In historical records, there were many legends about Emperor Shunzhi. He had a concubine named Dong’e and after Concubine Dong'e’s death, Shunzhi was heartbroken and passed the throne to Kangxi. Thereafter, he miraculously disappeared from the Forbidden City.
There was hearsay that Emperor Shunzhi missed his concubine and committed suicide.
There was also hearsay that Emperor Shunzhi retreated into the mountains and no longer cared about worldly affairs.
Debra then picked up the teacup and locked her gaze on Darryl coldly. "You mean to say that none of our several hundred thousand Artemis Sect disciples are as capable as you. It's unforgiving for you to belittle the Artemis Sect! I will put you to death if you fail to complete this poem today!"
Debra usually looked elegant and composed and rarely got angry but Darryl had crossed the line.
Darryl frowned. 'F*ck! Why must I be put to death just because I fail to complete the poem?'
Darryl too was anxious so he suggested, " Sect Master, if this is the case, then we might as well place a bet. Let's bet whether I can complete this poem! If I lose, you'll beat me to death with a stick and I won't complain but if I win, you'll have to wash my feet."
What?
The hall turned chaotic as soon as Darryl finished talking!
How bold of him!
The Sect Master was known as the most talented woman! How could she be washing someone's feet? He went too far!
"Slap!"
Debra slammed her palm on the table and stood up from the phoenix throne with her ashen face!
The previous 'Gifted Hibiscus Scholars' were well-educated, gentle, and carried themselves around well, but why was Darryl so arrogant?
