Chapter 212 Win Again

For Yin Li, only one or two out of ten sentences he says are true.

In consideration of the information he provided, Hu Xin'er didn't mind: "Do you have any method to repair or clean the inkstone? That inkstone is too old."

Yin Li smiled secretly, and at first glance, she had ill intentions: "It is in the book, but I don't like this pretty boy and don't want to give it to him."

Mu Qing smiled faintly: "Only ugly men would call others gigolos."

Yin Li choked and pointed at the door, saying, "Xin'er and I have something important to discuss. Why don't you get out of here right now?"

Mu Qing raised his clasped fingers and showed off blatantly.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Hu Xiner pinched her thigh hard.

She said with a hint of grievance, "You clearly promised me that I could read any of the books here, but now you're going back on your word. I trusted you so much!"

After saying this, she pretended to cry.

Two tears fell because of the pain from pinching her thigh. Before the tears dried up, she turned around and threw herself into Mu Qing's arms, sobbing.

When Yin Li saw her tears, he was slightly startled, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Mu Qing was so concerned that he thought Hu Xin'er was really crying because of anger, and his eyes suddenly changed.

On the way here, he heard his wife talk about the strange man Yin Li.

Yin Li is a proud and arrogant person. Just because Hu Xin'er beat him once, he keeps pestering her and wants to discuss other things with her until he defeats her.

Because he was interested in Hu Xin'er, he even wanted to make her his playmate and often set traps to lure Hu Xin'er into joining Wanjuan Pavilion.

Therefore, the reason why Yin Li was making things difficult for Hu Xiner and not allowing her to read the books in Wanjuan Pavilion was obvious.

That is to take this opportunity to put forward conditions to Hu Xiner.

But how could Mu Qing watch another man abduct and coerce his wife?

He hugged Hu Xin'er tightly in his arms, feeling distressed. "You are a tall and strong man, what's your ability to embarrass my wife? I heard that the master of Wanjuan Pavilion is good at calligraphy and painting, so let me compete with you in calligraphy and painting. If I win, you must give me the book on repairing inkstones. If I lose, you can do as you please."

Hu Xiner, who was pretending to cry, was slightly stunned and wanted to talk to her husband.

Mu Qing felt the struggle in her arms and gently patted her head: "Don't worry, I am confident."

Yin Li glanced at him sideways: "You mean, if you lose, you can follow my terms?"

Mu Qing nodded.

Yin Li said something shocking: "What if I want you and Hu Xin'er to divorce?"

Hu Xiner's heart tightened. What was this guy doing?

She was about to speak when she heard Mu Qing's voice, as gentle as ever: "Divorce requires the consent of both husband and wife, but my wife will not agree."

"That's not necessarily true. There are gigolo men everywhere in the world, and they are very easy to find." Yin Li retorted.

I don’t know if it’s because their horoscopes are incompatible, but there was a lot of tension between the two men the moment they met.

Mu Qing smiled faintly: "But they are not as good-looking as me."

Yin Li vomited blood. Even though he claimed to be the most handsome man in the world, he could not deny Mu Qing's appearance.

Hu Xiner's heart trembled slightly. She had always been worried that Mu Qing would have a grudge against her because of her appearance.

So even when they were being intimate, he tried his best to avoid looking directly at Mu Qing.

Judging from the current situation, Mu Qing could even use this face of hers to make fun of her several times, but she was worrying too much.

Although Yin Li was shown a face of affection, she still stubbornly wanted to regain her dignity: "What if I ask you to divorce Hu Xin'er?"

Just hearing him say this, the couple felt uncomfortable in their hearts, as if they were pricked by a thorn.

Mu Qing showed a look of disdain: "We can remarry after the divorce, and I promise that if you make such an offer, I will kill you first!"

Seeing that he was being bored, Yin Li didn't say anything more. He just lowered his eyes and smiled, not knowing what bad idea he was planning.

Hu Xin'er couldn't stop them and could only let them fight.

They each drew a picture and asked Hu Xiner to comment on it.

Hu Xin'er felt a little bald for a while.

If you praise Mu Qing, Yin Li will probably be really angry and won't lend the book.

If you praise Yin Li, your jealous husband will definitely be unhappy.

And given Yin Li's temper, he would dare to open a dyeing factory if he was given a little resistance.

If you praise him, he will definitely say that the written test is over, and then he will smugly think of a trick to trick them.

"Xin'er, how is it?" Mu Qing looked at his work, obviously very satisfied.

Yin Li also slapped the table and said, "Stinky girl, come and admire this Pavilion Master's masterpiece!"

"Uh..." Hu Xin'er quickly came up with an idea. "My evaluation alone is too subjective. I'm afraid neither of you would agree. How about I get someone else to review it?"

The other two thought it made sense, so they followed Hu Xiner out to the market and asked everyone to come and taste it.

"Oh, this pretty boy is so handsome!" The first person to come around was a Miao woman in purple clothes, who stretched out her dirty hands and wanted to touch Mu Qing's face.

Mu Qing slammed it away with a cold face, then slowly unfolded the scroll.

The purple-robed woman noticed his extraordinary skills and withdrew her hand in disappointment. Then she looked at Hu Xin'er and said, "Is this your man?"

Hu Xin'er nodded. "My husband is competing with the Master of Wanjuan Pavilion in calligraphy and painting. I hope you will all do me the honor of watching and voting."

She had made small tickets while she was inside, and now she gave one to the woman in purple.

The purple-robed woman's official language was very poor: "Your husband, are you selling yourself?"

Hu Xiner was stunned. After so long in ancient times, she was still not used to such a straightforward way of speaking.

She knew that this ghost market was full of strange people, so she didn't get annoyed. "I'm not selling it, but if you like it, Pavilion Master, you can pursue it."

"Oh, forget it." The purple-clothed woman simply threw the ballot into the cardboard box in front of Mu Qing.

The despised Yin Li flew into a rage: "Damn it!"

He never expected that he would suffer such a great humiliation.

Shouldn't these women throw themselves at him like crazy when they see his unparalleled beauty?

At Hu Xiner's call, everyone quickly gathered around.

At first they all wanted to see Yin Li's excitement, but when the knowledgeable people among them saw the paintings of the two, they started a discussion.

"This painting of a handsome man is meticulously crafted, and the characters are lifelike..."

"I don't think so. Yin Li's painting is wild and freehand..."

There are many different opinions, and everyone is praising everyone, making it difficult to tell who is right.

Hu Xin'er suggested, "Why don't we use a secret ballot to decide the winner?"

The final result was that Mu Qing won by a narrow margin of one vote.

Yin Li had no choice but to give the book to Hu Xin'er and emphasized childishly, "You are the only one allowed to read this book!"

Although Mu Qing was curious about the contents of the book, he said arrogantly, "Don't worry, I won't read such an old book even if you ask me to!"
