Shangguan Lingluo was secretly happy. Last night,Taizi gege gave her a welcoming autumn qilu. This was Taizi gege helping her win.
Shangguan Lingluo shyly looked once at Taizi. Sheleaned down and unhurriedly wrote. When she finished she saw Zi You stillfighting with the brush. She smiled proudly.
If Bengong loses this round to you, then Bengong doesn"tneed to live anymore.
Fifteen minutes later, Zi You finished writing.

He sighed, "Ai… this is hard for this Taizi to judge. In regards to calligraphy, Mu Xiaojie"s is more exquisite than fourth meimei"s. But fourth meimei only used one-third of Mu Xiaojie"s time to create a welcoming autumn qilu. If fourth meimei lost, there would be some injustice? Ai…"
