“Teacher Admirable Fish is quite popular,” chuckled Yu Chang, seated to the left of Lin Yuan.
The other judges each raised their eyebrows upon hearing this.
They all knew very well that it wasn’t because of Xian Yu’s popularity.
It was purely because many people in the audience found it uncomfortable to see Xian Yu sitting among the judges.
There were even some who discussed it without any attempt to lower their voices, their dissatisfaction barely contained, evidently directed towards Lin Yuan at the judges’ table.
In front of the judges’ table.
Tong Shuwen, the director of the live broadcast, appeared on the scene, holding a microphone, “Are all the teachers ready? We will start the live broadcast after a ten-second countdown, and countless viewers will be watching.”
“Let’s start.”
Someone responded with a shout.
Tong Shuwen glanced at Ms. Huang in the distance and, with her slight nod, began the countdown:
“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…”
The expressions of the literati in each pavilion grew serious.
They were about to appear on television, so everyone was very conscious of their facial expressions.
During this process.
Some were whispering to each other, occasionally glancing at Lin Yuan with unusual looks.
…
Online.
Countless netizens opened up video websites.
The live broadcast of the poetry competition had been well promoted, and Blue Star’s largest video sites all featured the live stream.
“It’s starting!”
“This is the first live broadcast of Blue Star’s poetry competition, and everyone attending is a literary standout from every continent.”
“I’m excited to see Shu Ziwen!”
“Get real, this is a competition of literary flair, not some idol show. If you really want to see a male god, you’d be better off watching Admirable Fish rather than Shu Ziwen.”
“But Admirable Fish is a judge, it’s different from being a contestant.”
“Am I the only one who thinks it’s inappropriate for Admirable Fish to be a judge?”
“No, you’re not alone.”
“It really doesn’t sit well with many people.”
“Some of the competing literary heavyweights have grumbled, saying Admirable Fish shouldn’t be on the judges’ panel.”
“What’s the big deal, just because Admirable Fish is young?”
“Let’s just take ‘Song of Water’ and ask all the attendees here, who dares to battle!?”
“Stop dredging up the past, everybody eats dumplings for the New Year, after all. These people are literary giants, their talent is beyond your imagination. Just wait and watch.”
…
At Lin Yuan’s home.
His mother and sisters were also watching the live broadcast, feeling very excited—Lin Yuan was one of the judges of the poetry competition!
“Woof!”
“Hasn’t it started yet?”
“It’s already six o’clock.”
“It’s begun!”
Following his sister’s voice, the live broadcast appeared on screen.
…
The first person to appear on camera was actually Jiang Kui, “Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the first poetry competition of Blue Star. I’m your live guest, Jiang Kui. We are now at the foot of Mount Lu, and you can enjoy the scenery of Mount Lu along with me.”
Many viewers instantly smiled knowingly.
This wasn’t just the Mount Lu poetry competition; it was also the third episode of ‘Fish Walking with You,’ which is why the Yu Dynasty crew were guests.
“Now let me introduce today’s nine judges!”
Sun Yaohuo then appeared on camera, introducing the judges’ names.
These segments were all rehearsed in advance to acquaint the audience with the situation on-site.

Wei Haoyun.
Every member of the Yu Dynasty had their moment on camera, each introducing a part of the live broadcast.
Zhao Ying Ge was responsible for explaining the rules:
“The number of participants is eighty in total. We are divided into ten groups, with eight contestants in each group. They will compete against one another, and from each group, two contestants can advance every round. Those who feel their work is inferior can voluntarily withdraw, and if the results are inconclusive, it will be up to the judges to decide. For those not advancing, we will arrange a chance for a wildcard round.”
The grouping had been arranged in advance.
The identity of each group member was quite interesting; literati from each continent were thoroughly mixed, ensuring each group included someone from every state of Blue Star:
Eight people per group,
perfectly representing the eight states.
The camera panned across the ten pavilions, showing each literato taking their seats.
Some of the favorites for the championship were given close-ups, and other popular literati like Shu Ziwen also featured prominently.
…
On-site.
Ms. Huang approached the camera with a smile, “If there’s nothing else to say, please be ready, as we are about to start the drawing of topics.”
“Not so fast.”
Suddenly, someone spoke up from one of the pavilions.
Ms. Huang was stunned and turned to the speaker, “Does Mr. Hua have something to say?”
This Mr. Hua, named Hua Weiming, was one of the representative figures of the Zhao Continent’s literary circle, a hot favorite for the championship of the poetry competition, with a very high public profile, almost on par with several of the judges. His poems were even included in Zhao Continent’s textbooks.
“It is with some embarrassment.”
Hua Weiming began, “I was selected by everyone to represent them. They came to me last night, hoping I could discuss with the Literature and Art Association the possibility of revoking Teacher Admirable Fish’s role as a judge. It’s not a personal issue with Teacher Admirable Fish, but many of us really wish to contest with Teacher Admirable Fish on an equal footing as contestants.”
An uproar ensued!
The judges at the judges’ table all turned to look at Lin Yuan, with differing expressions.
Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly!
He had tossed and turned sleeplessly the night before, drifting off amidst frustration.
And at this moment.
In his heart, it felt as if a fierce tiger was itching to leap out of its cage!
