Chapter 289 I'm Going to Stick it Out with You to the End!
"Song Yun was the young man who was whipped by Elder Wei yesterday?"
"My God! Surviving Elder Wei and stepping down alive was already impressive, but to think he could get out of bed and walk the very next day!"
"Are all young people nowadays so fierce? I heard that Song Yun is related to the Bai Family, how could he have received such severe punishment?"
"You don't understand, do you? The Bai Family is making an example out of him, intimidating those who've been scheming behind the scenes!"
Everyone present was buzzing with discussion, surprised at the news of Song Yun's personal appearance. They were both astonished by his recovery ability and speculating whether Elder Wei's strength had waned!
"Han, is this the bastard who almost cost you the heir position?"
Wu Batian lit a cigarette and disdainfully looked at Song Yun as he asked.
Nangong Han's current look was filled with conflict; he was afraid that another confrontation with Song Yun could lead to his family revoking his status as heir, but he was also still bothered about the matters in Magic Capital.
Seeing that Nangong Han remained silent, Wu Batian stood up, intending to help his good brother regain some face.
"So, Song Yun, isn't it? You leave Magic Capital and come to our Forty-nine City to throw your weight around, what's the meaning of this?"
The moment Wu Batian uttered these words, the atmosphere quieted down. Everyone looked at him in disbelief, wondering if this simpleton hadn't heard that Song Yun was here to pay his respects?
You act so recklessly in the Ouyang Family's home, not taking the Ouyang Family seriously, do you really think there won't be a reckoning come autumn?
Everyone's gaze simultaneously turned towards Elder Ouyang Shu, and sure enough, the elder's complexion looked a bit unsightly. If not for the sake of Wu Batian's deceased grandfather, security would have already thrown him out!
"Who are you?"
Song Yun slightly furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat puzzled. He hadn't made any enemies in Forty-nine City, so where did this young man come from?
And don't you know that challenging the Ouyang Family's face on the spot is a very dangerous thing to do?
The courage of the young people these days is truly something!
"Some people are just too full of themselves, taking any random writing as a celebratory gift, it's laughable!"
Wu Batian said with a sneer.
The Ouyang patriarch's brow furrowed. No matter what, his relationship with Song Yun was closer than that of most people present, not to mention that Wu Batian, this young rascal, was a bit too aggressive!
Could it be that he intended to cause trouble at his own birthday banquet?!!!
"Ba Tian, shut up!"
Hu Shengpeng, upon seeing the displeasure at the bottom of the Ouyang patriarch's eyes, quickly chastised.
Even though he too had underestimated Song Yun slightly, the necessary pleasantries still had to be observed.
As the crowd's curiosity piqued, the Ouyang patriarch slowly unraveled the scroll, revealing four characters on each side: "Lao Ji Fu Li," meaning "an old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand li."
These eight characters were written with a soaring grandeur that struck onlookers as extraordinary at first glance.
And these eight characters also fit the Ouyang patriarch's current state very well. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
The Ouyang patriarch then stood up, holding the scroll in front of everyone with a smile, "I like this scroll very much!"
With a brief and concise expression, without any polite pretense, one could see the excitement in the Ouyang patriarch's mood at the moment.
The onlookers crowded forward to take a closer look. Even those who knew nothing about calligraphy felt a sense of resilience emanating from it upon first glance, recognizing it as an undeniably timeless masterpiece.
"I feel that the writing is just so-so, I could surpass it with a casual attempt," said Wu Batian with an eye roll. In his eyes, anything related to Song Yun was not worth mentioning; he was determined to confront this man today.
But Hu Shengpeng did not share this view because his grandfather was fond of calligraphy, and he had learned quite a bit himself through constant exposure. After seeing it today, he was shocked to discover that Song Yun's level of calligraphy had surpassed that of the four great ancient calligraphers!
You should know that modern calligraphy was all about imitating the fonts of those four masters, yet it seemed that Song Yun had created a style of his own, which was indeed surprising!
"This font, why does it look so familiar..." muttered someone in the crowd who was fascinated by calligraphy while stroking his chin in deep thought. Finally, hitting upon the answer, he exclaimed, "I've got it! I've got it! The timeless masterpiece recently collected by the National Museum was written in this very font!"
