It was really a narrow road for enemies to cross. Su Wenyue didn't care, but Sun Qianru glared at Su Wenyue fiercely, as if this could suppress Su Wenyue. She ordered the three people behind her: "Aren't you great scholars in Chang'an City? Then show your abilities. I don't care what method you use, you must beat them, otherwise you will lose face for several lifetimes."
In fact, Sun Qianru was very dissatisfied with the three so-called great scholars. Why did they put on airs in front of her? If they were really that capable, why would they be ordered around by her father and treat her so badly? That's why they spoke so impolitely at this time. They really treated the three great scholars like servants in the house.
Following Sun Qianru were the great scholars in Chang'an City. Although they had to help Sun Tongpan for some reasons and tried their best to win the competition, they were proud and somewhat unwilling to be bossed around by such an ignorant and contemptuous woman like Sun Qianru. Their faces were extremely ugly. One of them even snorted coldly. If it weren't for his concerns, they would have almost walked away.
Shangguan Wuyou looked at Sun Qianru with cold eyes. He was also a noble man and understood the feelings of the three great scholars at this moment. Even if they were opponents, he could not bear to see the three great scholars being ordered around by such a woman. It was simply an insult.
Sun Qianru was a little scared by Shangguan Wuyou's cold eyes. She wanted to vent a few words, but she closed her mouth in disappointment. Especially when she saw the warning eyes from the audience, she remembered the purpose of today and dared not to do it again.
The three great scholars were forced to participate in this lantern riddle competition for some reason, and they were not willing to do so in the first place. Sun Qianru's behavior further affected their performance, and they lost to Shangguan Wuyou. They bowed to Shangguan Wuyou with a dejected look and walked off the stage.
Not only did Sun Qianru lose face in front of Su Wenyue, she also had no way to explain herself when she returned. Seeing the three great scholars like this, she couldn't help but make a series of sarcastic remarks, which almost made one of the great scholars vomit blood and faint.
The duel between the other two groups had not yet ended. The four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture and the strange old man asked each other questions and answered them. They fought for many rounds. Finally, the four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture posed a difficult question to defeat the strange old man and won the victory. In the end, it was a duel between Su Wenyue's group and the four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture. To be more precise, it should be a duel between Shangguan Wuyou and the four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture.
"Master, it's the end. I guessed right. Shangguan Wuyou is indeed our biggest obstacle this time." The man in black felt a little regretful. If he could have found a way to lure Shangguan Wuyou away before, it would be too late to take action now that it's the last round. Otherwise, he would definitely be suspected. It doesn't matter if he is suspected. The only thing to worry about is that the host of the ring will change his mind and be unwilling to take out the colorful exquisite lamp.
Sikong Ling still had that indifferent expression, and his mood did not fluctuate because of his subordinates' words. He was determined to get the Colorful Exquisite Lantern, but there was more than one way to get the Colorful Exquisite Lantern.
"I said, just do your best. If..., have you arranged everyone?"
"Master, don't worry. Everything has been arranged. Those people have also participated. Moreover, the people they sent have been defeated. I'm afraid that as soon as the colorful exquisite lamp appears, they will take action."
Although Shangguan Wuyou was alone, he was evenly matched with the four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture. They fought back and forth, and neither of them lost to the other. The four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture still used the questions that stumped the strange old man to deal with Shangguan Wuyou, but Shangguan Wuyou guessed it.
The four great talents were also ordered to take first place in this lantern riddle competition. Originally, they were proud of themselves and wanted to rely on their own talents, but fighting for a long time was not a solution. Moreover, the questions asked by Shangguan Wuyou were more difficult than the last. The four of them discussed it and found it very difficult to cope with them. They felt a little bit that they had run out of ideas. If they continued, they really had no confidence. The four of them looked at each other, remembered the riddle that the man had given them, and made the decision.
Thinking of that person's request, one of the four talented scholars stood up and negotiated with the host, requesting that the question be written by hand and not made public, and also requiring that people who knew the puzzle should not reveal it afterwards.
Although the people watching the show were curious and wanted to know what kind of mysterious riddle the four talented scholars would come up with, the host of the arena had agreed, so it was useless for them to have objections. The host gave an answer, and after gaining the consent of Shangguan Wuyou and the other three, the four talented scholars wrote the riddle on a piece of paper and handed it to Shangguan Wuyou.
When Shangguan Wuyou saw the puzzle on the paper, he changed from being calm and confident just now. Now he showed an embarrassment on his face. It was obvious that he was stumped by this puzzle. He frowned slightly and started to think. The host and the four talented people were waiting on the side and did not urge him.
"It seems very difficult." Seeing Shangguan Wuyou like this, Ye Xinxin was afraid of disturbing Shangguan Wuyou's thinking, so she did not take the paper with the puzzle written on it from Shangguan Wuyou's hand, but leaned over to look. Han Yu and Su Wenyue also focused their eyes on the puzzle on the paper.
Experts see the details while laymen see the excitement. When Ye Xinxin and Han Yu saw the puzzle on the paper, they felt that it was just a difficult word and did not feel much about it. A puzzle that even Shangguan Wuyou could not solve must be indeed difficult. However, Su Wenyue was stunned when she saw the puzzle on the paper. This was clearly...
"Mr. Wuyou, the time is up. Have you figured out the answer to the riddle? If you have, you don't have to say it out loud. Please write it down on a piece of paper." The host saw that the time was almost up and Shangguan Wuyou still had a thoughtful expression on his face, so he had to remind him. After all, there was a time limit for answering the questions.
The audience was also buzzing with excitement. Some were curious about the puzzle, while others wanted to know whether Shangguan Wuyou could solve it. There were all kinds of curiosity and speculation. When they heard the host ask this, they all stopped and waited for Shangguan Wuyou's answer.
Shangguan Wuyou's thoughts were interrupted, but he was not displeased. At this moment, he had no clue at all and could not guess the answer no matter how hard he racked his brains. Then he thought of a saying: There are always people better than you. The four talented men were indeed as famous as they were said to be. They were even more talented than he had imagined. They posed such a difficult question. Although the requirements were a bit strange, he was unwilling to make the puzzle public.
"I am a person of limited talent and knowledge, and I volunteer to..."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Shangguan Wuyou was not someone who could not afford to lose. Since he could not guess the answer, he admitted defeat frankly. However, before he could finish his words of surrender, he stopped when he saw Su Wenyue's actions. Han Yu and Ye Xinxin also looked at Su Wenyue in surprise as she walked forward, picked up the brush and wrote two words on the paper.
