    Lin Beifan was also feeling upset!


    When he saw the Third Prince again, he angrily questioned, Third Prince, what is the meaning behind your actions today? I intentionally let you win, so why did you still lose?


    Cough! The Third Prince felt a knife to his heart.


    If you wanted to lose so badly, you should have said so earlier! I would have let you die thoroughly!


    Cough! Another knife struck the Third Princes heart.


    You give me money but dont let me lose, intentionally ying tricks on me, is that it?


    Cough! Another strike to the Third Princes chest.


    Let me tell you, youve seeded! Ive never experienced such a loss in my entire life! Congrattions on your sess, youve taught me a valuable lesson, I thank your whole family!


    Cough! Another stab to the Third Princes chest.


    The senior minister on the side hurriedly tried to calm things down. Principal Lin, please stop for now, His Highness is feeling very upset!


    Lin Beifan became even angrier, He is feeling upset, so am I supposed to feel good? I sacrificed my reputation and future, but in the end, you still couldnt do it, a rotten mud that cant support the wall!


    Cough! The Third Prince responded.


    Lin Beifan sneered, Fear not godlike opponents, fear pig-like teammates!


    Cough! The Third Prince responded again.


    By calling you pigs, Im insulting the animal itself!


    Cough! The Third Prince responded once more.


    Lin Beifans words were deadly like knives.


    The Third Prince held his chest, feeling a chilling sensation.


    Although there was no blood, he was already full of wounds.


    Principal Lin, youre right!


    The Third Prince stared nkly ahead, his eyes losing focus. You created so many good opportunities for us, but we still lost. Its all my fault! If it werent for me, we would have already won two rounds for Great Yan!


    As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pped himself.


    Im truly despicable!


    Smack!


    Im truly worthless!


    Smack!


    Im really


    Lin Beifan grabbed his hand and shouted, Third Prince, stop!


    The Third Prince turned his head and looked at Lin Beifan. Principal Lin, you


    Let me do it!


    The Third Prince:


    Smack!


    The Third Princes face twisted to one side, and the left half quickly swelled.


    Smack!


    The Third Princes face twisted to the other side, and the other half quickly swelled as well.


    Lin Beifan raised his hand again.


    The Third Prince quickly grabbed it and incoherently said, Alright, alright, no need to hit anymore. Ive learned my lesson!


    Lin Beifan regretfully withdrew his hand.


    In fact, everything is due to unfortunate circumstances! Elder Minister Wang sighed. If it werent for the sudden gusts of eerie wind and the thunder from the sky, the Third Prince wouldnt have underperformed! It can only be said that its a matter of timing and fate, theres nothing we can do but ept it.


    But fortunately, we still have a chance to salvage the situation! Elder Minister bowed to Lin Beifan and smiled. Tomorrow, well continue to trouble you, Principal Lin!


    Trouble is fine, but itll cost you another 1 million! Lin Beifan raised a finger.


    The Third Prince and hispanion were astounded. Why do you need more money?


    Tomorrowspetition is about poetry, essays, and songs. This happens to be my strong suit! Everyone in the world knows that Im especially skilled atposing poetry. If you want me to let you win, isnt that testing my skills? If the skill level is high, then it shoulde with an added fee, shouldnt it? Lin Beifan confidently justified.


    The Third Prince and hispanion eximed, What the hell!


    And who knows if youre ying tricks on me again? Lin Beifan sneered. Once again, Im sacrificing my reputation and future, and yet you let me win. Isnt that intentionally trying to disgust me? Thats why I need money topensate for my losses!


    The Third Prince and hispanion eximed, What the hell!


    Lin Beifan continued, Furthermore, after todays battle, my soul has suffered severe trauma. Dont you think you should give me some money tofort me?


    The Third Prince and hispanion eximed, Bloody hell


    You didnt suffer any losses!


    You took our money, won from start to finish, and profited from both ends. You didnt have any losses at all!


    What more do you need forfort?


    The ones who truly needfort are us, not you, you bastard!


    They finally witnessed Lin Beifans greed!


    He truly pursued money, using any excuse possible, going to any extreme!


    But, we really dont have any money left! The Third Prince forced a smile.


    No worries, Ill teach you a solution!


    What solution?


    Lin Beifan smiled slyly. Nowadays, banks provide lending services. With the Third Princes personal reputation, you can easily borrow 1 million taels from the bank. This way, wont your financial problem be solved?


    The Third Prince was dumbfounded!


    Damn, he wants me to borrow money to bribe him?


    This is truly a first in history!


    Inside his heart, he had ten thousand reasons to refuse!


    Because borrowed money must eventually be repaid, and with interest!


    How will hee up with the 1 million taels to repay the bank in the future?


    Lin Beifan looked at the hesitant Third Prince, stood up and patted his buttocks. If you dont have the money, then I cant help you. Farewell, gentlemen!


    Principal Lin, wait! Its just a matter of money. Give me some time, and Ill get it for you! the Third Prince called out.


    He no longer had any way to turn back!


    He had already lost four consecutive rounds in the literarypetition. If he lost again tomorrow, it would be aplete defeat!


    After returning, how would he exin to his father and the people?


    They would surely be very disappointed!


    The imperial throne he had always been yearning for would be increasingly distant from him!


    It was possible to repay a debt, but once the imperial throne was lost, there would be no chance!


    So, the old minister Wang immediately went to the bank to handle it.


    While waiting, the Third Prince thought about Lin Beifans arrogant behavior today and couldnt help but say, Principal Lin, could you please tone it down a bit during tomorrowspetition? Dont be so arrogant. My mentality is fragile, and I cant handle the pressure!


    Lin Beifan nodded. I can do that.


    The Third Prince sped his hands and smiled. Thank you so much, Master!


    But it will cost you more money!


    Damn it!


    In the end, Lin Beifan epted another 1.2 million taels.


    Satisfied, he said, Third Prince and Lord Wang, rest assured, I will definitely let you win tomorrow. You must seize the opportunity and lead Great Yan to turn defeat into victory. Dont disappoint me again!


    Thank you for your trouble, Principal Lin! the Third Prince and hispanionughed.


    After leaving the restaurant, Lin Beifan did not return home. Instead, he took a turn and arrived at a small courtyard.


    This was the home of Liao Rumin, one of the participants in the Yan and Wu Literary Competition.


    When Liao Rumin realized that Lin Beifan hade, she felt extremely honored and happy. She quickly spoke, Mr. Principal, why have youe? Pleasee in quickly! Xiao Qing, serve tea!


    Lin Beifan smiled and said, I came here for something and also to see how youre doing! Tomorrow is the poetry, essays, and songspetition, the highlight of the literary contest. How are your preparations going?


    Liao Rumin sped her hands and replied, Sir, I have been preparing diligently, not daring to ck off in the slightest! To prepare for tomorrowspetition, I have been reviewing the poems and verses I have written over the years, hoping for the chance to use them!


    Every talented individual has the habit of writing poems and verses. They like to umte their works and use them when the opportunity arises. Tomorrowspetition is the perfect opportunity. If the topics align, it will be a stroke of luck, and they can directly bring out their prepared works!


    I see, you have put in effort! Can you let me have a look? Lin Beifan asked.


    It would be my honor, please have a look, Sir, Liao Rumin said.


    Lin Beifan took the collection of poems and started to read. Most of the poems were ordinary without any shining points, but there was a small portion that was exceptionally well-done. Lin Beifan chose those poems to provide guidance and make some modifications.


    Liao Rumin was ecstatic! How many people could receive personal guidance from the Mr. Principal?


    It was a tremendous honor!


    Moreover, Lin Beifan was truly talented and knowledgeable. The poems he guided and modified greatly improved, with more precise word choices and higher artistic conception. It was ineffably marvelous.


    Thank you so much for your guidance, Master! Liao Rumin expressed her gratitude tearfully.


    Lin Beifan returned the collection and said with a smile, Continue your review, I will take my leave now.


    Ill see you off, Sir! Liao Rumin followed with courtesy.


    Then, Lin Beifan visited the homes of the other three participating contestants. He read their collections of poems, provided guidance, and made some modifications. In return for their overflowing gratitude, he calmly left.


    In the evening, when it was quiet andte, Lin Beifans figure flickered and gracefully arrived at the Ministry of Rites. Inside, there was a box containing many slips of paper, which were the exam questions for the next day. Lin Beifan opened it, nced through the contents, and then returned them to the box before leaving.


    The next day, the literarypetition continued. Todayspetition focused on poetry, essays, and songs, which was the highlight of the literary battle. Ones talent and knowledge could easily be revealed through a few poems or verses.


    Due to their consecutive victories in four rounds, the Great Wu side appeared very rxed with a significant lead. If they won one more round in poetry, their victory would be assured.


    In contrast, the Great Yan side felt immense pressure, with serious expressions on their faces. If they lost a single round, the entire literarypetition would be lost. They simply couldnt afford to lose.


    The Third Prince encouraged loudly, Todayspetition is in poetry, essays, and songs, which are all our strong points! Lets give it our all, and victory will surely be ours!


    Yes, Your Highness! The talented individuals from Great Yan replied,cking some confidence.


    The Third Prince inwardly shook his head, understanding the mindset of the others. They werepletely intimidated by Lin Beifan. If he hadnt already bought off Lin Beifan, he wouldnt have had confidence himself.


    At this moment, the talented individuals from both sides had already arrived at the martial arts field. With the Empresss nod, the Master of Ceremonies announced loudly, The literarypetition continues!


    Todayspetition is in poetry, essays, and songs, with a total of five questions, each question equivalent to a round!


    In each round, Her Majesty will randomly select a question for the talented individuals from both sides to answer, byposing poems, verses, songs, or essays! The victor remains, and the loser steps down! Thepetition continues until one sides five talented individuals arepletely defeated!


    However, please take note that this poetry and songpetition is different from the previous ones. It will be timed!


    The time limit will be one incense sticks burning time! If, within the duration of one incense stick burning, the five talented individuals from one side have not all taken turns, but are unable to produce better poems or songs, they will also be considered the loser!


    Now, both sides please send forth a talented individual topete!
