All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Seeing Li Chang'an's serious expression, Lin Wan'er secretly pinched Li Chang'an's arm.

"Wan'er has been studying poetry over the years, and hopes that Uncle Yong will give her more guidance when he has time."

Li Chang'an calmly said, "Wan'er is very intelligent and quick to understand. It's easy to explain."

Not long after, Li Hongcheng came in and said, "Father, Uncle Yong, Second Prince, everyone from the poetry gathering has arrived."

Prince Jing patted Li Chang'an on the shoulder, "Third brother, thank you for your help today. I will take care of all the flowers and trees in your Dragon Guard Manor."

Li Chang'an cupped his hands and said, "Second Brother, you're too kind. Thank you for also taking care of the bonsai in the room!"

"Chengze, Wan'er, Ruoruo, Roujia, let's go."

Li Chengze stood up and went out the door with Li Chang'an, then said in a low voice, "Uncle Yongwang, I won't show myself."

Li Chang'an frowned and asked, "Why?"

Li Chengze tossed his hair, coughed lightly twice, and appeared elegant and noble.

"Uncle Wang, you may not know this, but I like crowds, not people."

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an kicked him in the butt without any hesitation.

"You little bastard, always sneaking around like that, what are you pretending to be mysterious for?"

"You just like eating grapes, right? It doesn't matter where you eat them, just come with me!"

Lin Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Second brother, you just deserve a beating. Where would your popularity come from if there were no people around?"

"You need to clear the street just to eat hot pot normally. Why don't you travel incognito? You're just disturbing the peace for no reason."

Li Chengze winced in pain, then grimaced helplessly and could only follow Li Chang'an to the poetry gathering.

"Wan'er, you have no conscience! You're kicking me when I'm down. Your second brother has been finding medicine for you since you were little. I'm eighty percent responsible for your recovery from tuberculosis!"

Li Chang'an and Lin Wan'er's relationship was conducted in secret, and the matter of Yi Yanbing was naturally a top secret.

"Alright, alright, thank you, Second Brother. I'll treat you to hot pot another day, so you won't go out on the streets and ruin people's livelihoods."

Li Chengze tossed his alpaca head and said, "Come to my residence and I'll show you the alpaca that Uncle Yong gave me. It'll be an eye-opener for you."

The group walked out chatting and laughing. Li Chengze had originally planned to hide in the shadows and then call Fan Xian over for a chat, but now it seemed he would have to think of another way.

Upon arriving at the corridor where the poetry gathering was to be held, Li Chang'an and Li Chengze both sat behind the curtain behind the main seats.

After all, they are of royal blood, so the sacredness must be preserved. Lin Wan'er and Princess Roujia are of slightly different bloodlines, so they sat at the head of the table with Fan Ruoruo.

After Li Chang'an and Li Chengze sat down, everyone except Lin Wan'er and Princess Roujia knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Yong and Your Highness the Second Prince!"

Among the crowd, Li Chang'an spotted Fan Xian at a glance.

Name: Fan Xian

Age: 16 years old

Realm: Peak of the Seventh Rank

Talents: Excellent memory (4th rank), political acumen (8th rank), business acumen (8th rank), martial arts (5th rank)

Abilities: Go (Rank 8), Assassination (Rank 8), Poisoning (Rank 8), Medicine (Rank 8), Political Strategy (Rank 4), Poetry (Rank 3)

Emotion: 0

The talent of strong memory is a weaker version of photographic memory. This powerful talent can allow some abilities to exceed the limits of the talent.

For example, Fan Xian has no talent for Go; theoretically, his Go ability should at most reach the sixth rank.

However, relying on the chess scores he remembered from his previous life and his extraordinary memory and learning ability, he raised his Go skills to the eighth rank.

Fan Xian stands out not because he is somewhat rustic or slightly overweight.

It was because he was the only one hesitating about whether or not to kneel.

Name: Guo Baokun

Age: 20 years old

Realm: None

Talent: Social Skills (Rank 3)

Abilities: Political maneuvering (second rank), social skills (sixth rank), poetry and prose (fifth rank)

Emotion: 50

Guo Baokun, a man of exceptional talent, was finally met by Li Chang'an. He was also a passionate lover of poetry and literature.

Aside from Lin Wan'er's social anxiety, Li Chang'an's ability to meet people a second time is negative.

A person with a negative second-rank social skill can be saved, but their political acumen is probably beyond redemption.

Li Chang'an glanced around and saw that most of the people present had an emotional value of around 30, while the fervent female fans even exceeded 80.

Li Chang'an now understands why it's so easy for celebrities to sleep with their fans.

The only one whose emotional value was below 30 was Ye Ling'er, a martial arts fanatic, since she didn't understand poetry.

Ye Ling'er was just accompanying Lin Wan'er; she couldn't write poetry.

Guo Baokun is very nervous today. The Crown Prince has given him a strict order: Fan Xian must make a name for himself at today's poetry gathering!

Li Chang'an could see it, of course, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Because of his intervention, Li Yunrui's plan succeeded, and the Crown Prince took the blame. Emperor Qing then punished the Crown Prince by making him help Fan Xian restore his reputation.

Guo Shao, who originally intended to ruin Fan Xian's reputation at the poetry gathering, is now afraid that Fan Xian will cause trouble again and has become the person who cares about Fan Xian the most.

Guo Shao was so anxious he almost cried!

Because Fan Xian, who was standing next to him, was bent over and hadn't decided whether to kneel or not.

"Brother Fan, please, kneel down now!"

He has to kneel before the prince; this illegitimate son doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette!

The scholars were so nervous they dared not even breathe; meeting two princes at once was a very solemn occasion.

Despite the tension and awkwardness, these scholars were full of ambition and determined to seize the opportunity to show their abilities!

Since his transmigration, Fan Xian has knelt before his grandmother and father, but he didn't kneel before the Crown Prince and the Second Prince when he met them in the capital.

So, in this situation, he really doesn't want to kneel down!

Given his personality, he really wanted to shout, "Your Highnesses, shall we kneel?"

However, seeing so many people kneeling around him, Fan Xian felt his legs go weak.

Li Chang'an is not only renowned for his literary talent, but also for his ruthless killing. Even more troublesome is the possibility that he might be a puppet of a time traveler.

If I don't kneel, is it possible that my identity as a time traveler will be revealed...?

Fan Xian is now truly somewhat apprehensive.

Suddenly, a majestic voice resounded through the corridor!

"Who's coming next?"

Li Chang'an and Li Chengze turned their heads at the same time and saw that it was Xie Bi'an who habitually scolded them.

Name: Xie Bi'an

Age: 35 years old

Realm: Lower Ninth Rank

Talent: Swordsmanship (Eighth Rank)

Abilities: Political Maneuvering (Rank 3), Culinary Skills (Rank 3)

Emotion: 10

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian almost blurted out, "Jing Ke, the envoy of Yan!"

Chapter 72 Fan Xian Kneels! Ye Ling'er Chops Fan Xian!

Xie Bi'an and Xing Yusen were standing side by side when this sound startled Xing Yusen.

Xing Yusen, the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, suddenly felt he had failed in his duty!

Although Xie Bi'an is a ninth-rank guard, the Prince Yong's Dragon Guard Manor is a cut above that of an ordinary prince.

At such a moment to demonstrate authority, Xie Bi'an actually beat him to it!

Xing Yusen displayed the imposing manner he had when he was a constable more than a decade ago, glaring with wide eyes as he drew his sword and roared.

"Who exactly is the person getting off at the next station?"

"Why don't you kneel before the prince!"

The question, uttered with the utterance of a seasoned detective, sent Fan Xian's legs trembling, and he instantly knelt down.

Guo Baokun quickly explained, "Brother Fan is new to the capital and doesn't quite understand the rules. Please forgive him, Your Highnesses!"

Behind the gauze curtain, Fan Xian heard Li Chengze's voice, "Uncle Yong, I was frightened a few days ago, so I may have been a little impolite."
