Chapter 151 Don’t want to lose face, admit defeat quickly



As soon as Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, a pair of sharp eyes shot straight at her: "Xie Yunjiao, what do you want!"

"No, I see they've both answered three questions correctly in a row. If they get the next two right, won't they have to start all over again? I think their abilities are equally matched, and it'll be hard to tell who's better." Xie Yunjiao paused, pretending to be confused, and continued, "Besides, that question confuses me. What's the difference between white hens and black hens? Aren't they both chickens? Why are black hens more powerful?"

Xie Yunjiao's words simply expressed the thoughts of everyone present. Everyone was confused, but after hearing what Xie Yunjiao said, they all supported her.

"I think it's not just about guessing the answer correctly, but also about giving reasons that convince everyone. That's what it means to truly win."

"Yes, that's right, the young lady is right." The crowd began to make a noise.

Ma Jun's face darkened. How could he know why the black hen was more powerful?

He just learned a few lip-reading tricks from a sorcerer when he was studying abroad. When he saw Doudou wanted to say "black", he just followed suit and said "black".

"I believe that with Master Ma's talent and knowledge, he must know the answer, right? If my son loses this time, we will admit defeat, so that he won't continue playing and delay our trip to other places."

Xie Yunjiao's words also touched the heart of the organizer.

I didn't expect Xie Yunjiao to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice. It's so touching.

After hearing what Xie Yunjiao said, Ma Jun had an idea in his mind.

He was just guessing randomly. Maybe the little kid just happened to guess correctly by chance?

Ma Mingyu snorted coldly and said, "Alright, since you've said that, how do you want to compete? What if my brother tells you the answer and you just copy him? What's the point?"

This is simply a god-like assist!

Xie Yunjiao followed Ma Mingyu's words and said, "Why don't everyone write down their answers and see whose is right? That would be fair, right?"

This time she wrote with a pen, so Ma Jun couldn't peek. She couldn't do that, but Ma Jun could learn from Doudou.

As soon as Ma Jun gave her a look, she knew what he was doing.

He was so shameless, so she thought of a trick to make Ma Jun lose completely.

"That's more like it."

Ma Jun has been thinking hard, wondering why the black hen is stronger than the white hen, but he couldn't come up with any answer after thinking for a long time.

But when he saw that Doudou had already handed in the answers, he had no choice but to write something random.

"Now I will announce the answers of the two gentlemen. Mr. Ma's answer is that black and white represent yin and yang. Black is yin and white is yang. Yin overcomes yang, so the black hen is more powerful."

Wow, he even brought up the distinction between yin and yang. It’s amazing that he could think of that.

This yin and yang confused everyone.

But after hearing what he said, it seemed to make sense.

"Then let's see Mr. Gu Jue's answer. Black hens can lay white eggs, while white hens can only lay white eggs and not black eggs. So black hens are more powerful."

Everyone was confused by Ma Jun's theory of yin and yang, but Doudou's answer was much simpler and clearer, and everyone understood it as soon as they heard it.

"Who do you think won?" Ma Mingyu asked the organizer with a fierce look on his face.

The organizer didn't dare to speak for a while because of Ma Mingyu's face.

"Sir, the purpose of holding the lantern riddle guessing competition is to entertain everyone and showcase the talents of our elite students from Kyushu to the general public.

Then we should focus on talent and learning, not…” Xie Yunjiao glanced at Ma Mingyu meaningfully.

The host understood what Xie Yunjiao meant, and he also wanted to help Ma Jun, but this time it was obvious that Doudou's answer was more convincing.

There were also voices in the crowd supporting Doudou, and there were more than one.

Ma Jun also knew in his heart that he had lost this time.

If he persists, he will be the one to be embarrassed.

I'm afraid that the image of a talented man that he has painstakingly cultivated for many years will be destroyed by this incident.

He then bowed to Doudou and said, "In every generation there are talented people. Young Master is both virtuous and talented. I am convinced of my defeat."

Ma Mingyu was not convinced. In her mind, her brother was the most powerful: "Brother, you can't admit defeat!"

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere else."

"If you really like that King of Lanterns, I can give it to you," said Doudou.

He thought, he just thought it looked nice, and he didn't have to own it.

What's more, it would take a lot of candles to bring such a big lamp home and hang it up at home. His mother works so hard to earn money, so he doesn't want to spend more money.

Xie Yunjiao looked at Doudou and said happily, "In ancient times, Kong Rong gave up his pears, and now Doudou gives up his lamp. My Doudou has really grown up."

Doudou smiled shyly.

"Who asked you to give it to us? It's obvious that we won." Ma Mingyu said unhappily.

"Let's go, if you don't want your brother to lose too badly." Ma Jun didn't want to stay any longer. If this matter got out, the Ma family would lose face.

Although he was not convinced, he was indeed the loser.

Ma Mingyu wanted to say something, but she could see that Ma Jun was a little unhappy, so she had to follow Ma Jun and leave angrily.

Xie Yunjiao and her friends got the Lantern King, but they thought it was too heavy, so they asked the organizer to send it to Qinyuanfang the next day.

She took her two children around to eat and have a great time.

They walked along and came to the river, where they saw many people releasing lanterns and making wishes.

Xie Yunjiao suddenly became interested and wanted to fly lanterns, so Gu Huai bought a lantern for each of them.

Everyone wrote on the lantern.

Although Gu Huai was not very literate, he tried his best to write the word "reunion" under the lantern.

Xie Yunjiao took a secret look at him, understood his intention, and silently wrote the word "reunion" under her lantern.

After they finished writing, they went to release lanterns.

I heard that if the lanterns are released well and do not sink, they should float far away along the river, so that the wish can come true.

So everyone who releases a lantern will be very careful, for fear that it will fall down.

Just after putting up the lanterns, Xie Yunjiao heard someone calling her. When she looked up, she saw Hai Jing, with Zhong Huaishuang, who looked shy, beside her.

Unexpectedly, the two of them became friends and even made an appointment to release lanterns together.

"You are here too, what wish did you make?"

Zhong Huaishuang moved her lips and was about to speak, but was stopped by Hai Jing: "My dear sister, you can't just say your wish casually, otherwise it won't come true."

Zhong Huaishuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It doesn't matter, my wish has come true anyway."

Her wish every year is to have a family reunion, hasn’t it come true now?

Now my younger brother is sensible and obedient, and his parents are loving to each other. This is all thanks to Xie Yunjiao.

"You don't have to tell me, I can guess it." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.

She looked at Hai Jing, who smiled embarrassedly with a blush on her face.

Xie Yunjiao knew that she had guessed right.

She knew that Hai Jing had someone in her heart, but she wanted to tell Hai Jing that Ma Jun was not as good as he looked and asked her to be more careful.
