Instantly, all the scholars obediently shut their mouths, and the entire scene became deathly silent.
"Heh heh... Young Marquis, you sure are mighty! " Chu He, however, did not mind in the slightest as he lightly said this.
Most people were afraid of this young prince because his status within the imperial city was not ordinary.
But Chu He was different. He didn't even put the Tianyuan Emperor in his eyes, let alone an insignificant young noble.
"If we keep going like this, we probably won't be able to determine the outcome of the battle. I think we should just let Princess Snow Yun produce an upper half of the couplet, and draw a painting based on the second half, and then we'll decide the outcome based on the painting's merits and demerits. Do you dare to compete with me?"
After a moment of silence, the young prince had an idea as well.
He finally understood that if he and Li Taibai continued scolding each other like this, his reputation would be ruined!
"This... I have no objections, Young Master Li, what do you think? "
Princess Snow Cloud didn't have much of a reaction, and instead looked at Chu He, and asked indifferently.
But he still kept giving Chu He meaningful looks, as if he was hinting at something.
However, Chu He had completely disregarded the meaning behind the princess' eyes.
This young prince actually wants to compete with me in painting? Isn't he courting death!
One year ago, he wasn't his opponent, but now, he was even less of an opponent!
Chu He smiled lightly and responded: "Since the young prince wants to compete with me in painting, then come! Just don't forget what you just said. Whoever loses has to call out 'Father'! "
"However, I don't think that calling him 'Father' is stimulating enough. It's better to call him grandpa if you lose!" Chu He paused for a moment, and then frowned.
"Humph!" It was not certain who would win and who would lose! I'm not afraid of you! " The young prince sneered.
Chu He laughed: "Then that's good! "I don't have any objections. Princess, feel free to set the question!"
These words once again aroused the attention of all the scholars present.
"Oh my god, these two are playing so much!"
"Isn't it too exciting to call the other party grandpa after losing!"
"If this matter were to spread, no matter which party loses, they would lose their reputation!"
"The current young prince is a rank 5 painter!"
"Although this Young Master Li is a great scholar, I'm afraid his painting skills are not as good as this young prince's!"
"I'm afraid Young Master Li will definitely lose this round!"
? ?.
At this moment, everyone was discussing amongst themselves about the competition between the two of them.
However, almost everyone preferred the young prince to have a higher level of painting.
Princess Snow Yun saw that Chu He had completely ignored the hints in her eyes and suggested, "Young Master Li, the young prince is my master who has become a level 5 painter in less than a year under the Tianyuan Kingdom's Art Sage. Young Master, you should reconsider!"
Chu He was also shocked. "Rank 5 painter?"
This fellow actually managed to break through from a rank 2 painter to a rank 5 painter in less than a year's time?
Painter was just like any other occupation, it required years of practice and accumulation to achieve a breakthrough!
However, the young prince had advanced from a rank 2 painter to a rank 5 painter.
He was afraid that only he himself knew the suffering he had gone through these past few days.
"That's right. I was under the tutelage of the Art Sage almost half a year ago when I came back from a remote city. Every day, I practice painting like a madman!"
Princess Snow Cloud explained.
