Xiao Mo'er ignored his sarcasm and said calmly, "Are you from the people?"
"certainly."
"What about him?" Xiao Moer pointed at the person next to him.
"Yes." The student from Xiangshan Academy nodded in response.
"What about them?" Xiao Moer pointed to the crowd on the outside.
"Of course."
Tao Jing said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Xiao Moer turned to look at Tao Jing, "Are they civilians? Answer my questions and you'll understand."
"Of course they are. If they are not the people, what are they?" Tao Jing said sarcastically.
Xiao Moer looked at the students around him, "No one of you opposes him, right?"
Everyone nodded and looked at him in confusion.
"What on earth does he want to say?" someone whispered.
"Isn't he really that unbearable to lose?"
"It's quite remarkable to have achieved such success at such a young age."
The people around were talking in low voices, but their discussions did not stop Moer and Da Moer from continuing.
"Since they serve the people, we should ask them who can best write the article that proves they are right. In this round, they are the most qualified to judge who is most in line with them. Don't they know themselves best?"
"What does it mean to serve the people? You all serve the people. You serve the people only when the people support you. What do you think?" Xiao Moer said with a smile.
When the ordinary people standing at the outermost edge heard this, they were all excited.
"The little prodigy is right."
"Yes, yes, the little prodigy is right. Since it's about us, we naturally have the right to choose and the right to judge."
The four young masters looked at each other, looked at the angry people at the outermost circle, and finally nodded.
"Okay. This round will be judged by everyone."
After the decision is made, everyone present begins to vote, and if you agree, you put your fingerprint on it. When everyone has put their fingerprints on it, the count begins.
"Tao Jing, 45 votes."
…
"Jin Xuan, 68 votes."
"Mu Zimo, 107 votes."
After this result came out, Tao Jing and others looked unhappy.
Tao Jing stepped forward and whispered to Xiao Zimo, "We'll let you win this round. If you keep wanting those foolish people to win, I can only tell you that you're dreaming."
Xiao Moer doesn't have a good reputation in the academy because everyone thinks he is arrogant.
No one had ever seen his abilities, so it was naturally impossible to convince them to respectfully call him a prodigy and admit that he was better than themselves.
But the people in Chang'an City were different.
Since they didn't read, they naturally didn't have that feeling. Instead, they were more pleased to see a child prodigy, a legend. More importantly, they were deeply impressed by how little Mo'er had once beaten the Dengwen drum on the Dengwen Tower to redress his mother's grievances, and it had won the favor of everyone in Chang'an, young and old.
It is understandable that they would choose Xiao Moer.
"Mu Zimo wins this round."
The people around were very happy about Xiao Zimo's victory, but the students from the major academies were not so happy, especially the students from Xiangshan Academy, who felt that he had used tricks and won unfairly.
"Lin Feng, what do you think about this matter?" asked Xiao Feng from Hanshan Academy.
"He deserves the title in this round." Lin Feng said lightly.
Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Lin Feng said softly, "The people's hearts. He must have deliberately written this article in plain language so that those people can understand it."
Xiao Feng understood, "That's interesting."
