As soon as these words came out.

There was another round of teasing from the crowd below the stairs, and even a scholar huddled in the crowd shouted, "Girl is right."

Zhao Rong, who was chuckling and explaining kindly, suddenly stopped talking. The smile on his face slowly faded, and his eyes lighted up with a slight coldness.

Zhao Rong ignored the noise behind him, his cold eyes fixed on the girl in blue.

I am tolerant in every way not to let you take advantage of me.

Seeing that you are young is a sign of my guilt for doing something wrong, but it is not a reason for you to go further and make trouble.

The girl in blue had been looking into Zhao Rong's eyes, but at a certain moment, her heart suddenly trembled, as if it missed a beat, as if she was stared at by some existence in the darkness. She subconsciously wanted to look away from him, but then she reacted.

Tsk, what is there to be afraid of a mere little scholar from the mountain who hasn’t even reached the Fuyao realm?

The girl in blue shook her head slightly, shaking off the distracting thoughts in her mind. She looked at Zhao Rong with a humble look and curled the right corner of her mouth.

"Hey, do you dare? Don't hesitate like a woman. If you don't dare, then..."

Zhao Rong nodded suddenly and said seriously, "Okay, that's right. I like couplets the most. But we have to change the conditions. If you want me to get out, your condition is not enough. You have to add one more."

The girl in blue crossed her chest with her slender arms. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "What are the conditions? Tell me now."

Zhao Rong looked her up and down.

"you!"

The girl in blue seemed to have thought of something. She raised her chin suddenly, and the scholar's hat on her little head almost fell off. "How dare you! Don't be rude!"

Her round, pretty face flushed slightly.

Zhao Rong was startled when he saw this, then immediately shook his head, "Tsk, what are you thinking about? What is there for a yellow-haired girl to worry about? She has nothing."

"You, you lecher! Say it again if you dare!"

Zhao Rong was very surprised that she would make such a request, but he ignored it because he didn't come here to fulfill her weird wishes.

Zhao Rong chuckled, "If you lose, you will... call me big brother three times right away."

Girl in blue: “…”

As soon as he said this, the field fell into silence again.

Some scholars looked at Zhao Rong in disbelief.

You actually asked this woman to do this...

Everyone quietly glanced at the blue-dressed girl, and saw that the pretty little girl with red lips and white teeth had a pale face.

She nodded slowly, her eyes fixed on Zhao Rong, who continued to chuckle and look back at her.

The girl in blue narrowed her eyes and said seriously, "Okay, you can, but don't forget my conditions. If you lose, get out of here. Remember, get out, don't take a single step."

Zhao Rong's lips curled up slightly, one hand behind his back, one hand in front of him, and he uttered two words slowly.

"Pair."

Hearing this, the blue-clothed girl smiled at Zhao Rong and said, "Two monkeys are cutting wood in the deep mountains. Let's see how the big monkey will respond."

Zhao Rong blinked, "A horse is stuck in the mud, how can the little beast get out of it?"

The girl in blue suddenly put her hands behind her back, took two steps to the left and right, and then stopped for no reason. She said in a clear voice, "Which of these bastards, rice, millet, beans, wheat, sorghum, and millet, is the master?"

Zhao Rong answered casually: "There are many classics such as the Book of Songs, Book of Changes, Rites, and Spring and Autumn Annals. Why bother asking Laozi?"

Girl in blue: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

Zhao Rong: "Filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, courtesy, and honesty."

The first line is “forgettable” and the second line is “shameless”.

The girl in blue frowned slightly and took a few more steps, "The mountains are stacked one after another, green mountains are stacked one after another."

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, nodded and smiled: "The winding green water is winding and green."

The girl in blue gritted her teeth and stared at Zhao Rong, "The moon is full in the sky and half full on the ground. Every month, the moon is full and half full."

Zhao Rong shook his head and said leisurely, "Today is the end of the year, tomorrow is the beginning of the year, and every year the end of the year follows the beginning of the year."

Girl in blue: "Go up to dusk, go down to dusk, cross the dusk at dusk."

Zhao Rong: "Articles are posted everywhere, and articles are hung on the bridge."

…

The verbal battle between the two of them usually took place in a moment. Every time the girl in blue said the first line of a couplet, Zhao Rong would take up the next line as soon as she finished speaking.

The many scholars watching the scene were speechless. Some of them had not even had time to applaud after hearing the witty lines when they heard new ones and gasped.

They stared blankly at Zhao Rong's upright back as he stood still, and then looked at the girl in blue who was walking back and forth, occasionally stopping and looking up to ask questions, then lowering her head and pacing in deep thought again after a few seconds.

This situation seems to be a little different from what I imagined...

Sweat began to appear on the smooth forehead of the girl in blue, and soon her head was covered in sweat, and her fair, round face slowly turned red.

There was no trace of the arrogant look she had just shown when she was bossing Zhao Rong around.

After Zhao Rong matched another pair without even thinking about it, the girl in blue swallowed her saliva.

She lowered her head and stared at the ground. After pausing for three breaths, she suddenly turned around and pointed to the couplet on the wooden door behind her. She said in a hurried voice, "Don't come if you are a thief. Come if you are a traitor."

Zhao Rong raised his right hand casually and pointed at himself, "No one is allowed to enter, only the wise can enter."

The girl in blue held her breath, took a deep breath, and hurriedly took a few steps, looking away, not wanting to look at Zhao Rong's eyes as he looked at her with a chuckle.

The girl in blue lowered her head and walked a few steps, breathing rapidly. At a certain moment, she suddenly stopped and raised her head, her chin raised, her pretty face flushed, and she glared at Zhao Rong, saying loudly and jokingly:

"In the daytime, you are neither good at literature nor martial arts, you are just a little scholar, how pitiful!"

Zhao Rong lowered his head slightly, looking at the still stubborn little girl in front of him. She was short and slender, but her head was held high. Was she refusing to admit defeat?

He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, met her mocking gaze, and suddenly spoke.

"In the middle of the night, the little girl is so ridiculous, so funny."

Girl in blue: “???”

The scholars around: "..."

Next second.

"Hahaha--"

The whole audience burst into laughter.

The girl in blue was stunned and looked at Zhao Rong in confusion, somewhat unable to believe what she had just heard.

What did he just say?

A moment.

The girl in blue turned her head sharply and angrily scolded the whole audience:

"What a joke!"

The noise from the crowd below the stairs suddenly became quieter, but some scholars still couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

The girl in blue was filled with grief and indignation for a moment, her mind filled with Zhao Rong's couplet. She instantly felt that everyone's eyes were on her small body. She hurriedly folded her hands across her chest and turned her head away fiercely. Her already large black eyes were now larger than copper bells, and she glared at Zhao Rong with gritted teeth.

"You, you are vulgar! You are shameless! Lecher! Lecher! Despicable, mean, villain, scoundrel..."

The girl in blue wanted to eat Zhao Rong alive. She scolded Zhao Rong with all the curse words she could think of, but she only said a few words and went off topic...

Zhao Rong looked at the girl in blue with some caution, fearing that she would turn the verbal fight into a physical fight. Fortunately, the girl in blue, who Zhao Rong didn't think was an ordinary little girl, seemed to be quite restrained. Well, after all, it was broad daylight at the gate of Linlu Academy, and so many people were watching.

Zhao Rong blinked and said, "Hey, little girl, do you have any more pairs? They are too short and too few. I'm not satisfied. Do you want some more?"

"SHUT UP! I'M NOT LITTLE!!!"

The girl in blue yelled, but if you looked closely, you could see that her eyes were red, but no tears fell.

Zhao Rong was not interested in caring about these things. This little girl brought this upon herself. He just wanted to end this boring farce as soon as possible.

Zhao Rong said lazily: "If you don't have a pair, then I'll make one too, so that others won't say I'm bullying you. If you can match it, you win."

He thought about it for a moment and realized that there was nothing absolute that had been proven correct for thousands of years in history.

"Listen to the rain, the rain stops, the Rain Listening Tower also stops. Listen to the sound of the rain, drop by drop, listen, listen, listen."

The girl in blue didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether she was listening to him or not. She bit her lip and stared at Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows and answered himself, "Watch the tide. The tide is coming. Come to the Tide Watching Pavilion to watch the waves. The waves are surging. Watch, watch, watch."

"Hey, speak up, okay, I'll give you another chance, one more."

"Green water is worry-free, but becomes wrinkled by the wind."

The girl in blue still didn't speak. She stared at Zhao Rong and sniffed.

Zhao Rong waited for a while and said in a bored tone: "The green mountains never grow old, but they turn white because of the snow."

"Okay, now what are you going to call me?"

Everyone's eyes followed Zhao Rong and fell on the little girl in blue whose face had turned pale.
