"I think he's just trying to get attention; I've seen plenty of people like that..."
"Just ignore him. The more you engage with this kind of person, the more energetic he becomes..."
“That’s right, we’re researching our…”
Li Zhu was speechless at what the crowd said. They were truly a bunch of frogs in a well; these people dared to spout such nonsense…
"Haha... Since you're all so eager to embarrass yourselves, I'll show you what a genius really is..."
Li Zhu picked up the brush and ink beside him, then leaped up and wrote numbers in the blank space. However, Li Zhu used a different approach, and didn't finish writing, deliberately leaving half of the space blank...
However, after Li Zhu landed, everyone, including Jiang Moyan, froze in place. They wanted to refute Li Zhu's solution, but they realized that Li Zhu's solution was indeed correct...
shock!
When everyone discovered that the numbers Li Zhu had casually written down were actually the key to solving the puzzle, they were all shocked…
"impossible!"
Jiang Moyan said in disbelief!
Nothing is impossible…
Li Zhu said calmly!
"This must be an illusion. You're lying. You already knew the answer, didn't you? This must have been a pre-arranged scheme to embarrass me, right?"
"Young Master Jiang, please watch your words..."
Qinglu said coldly. Jiang Moyan's words had already hurt her. At this moment, she had to stand up and stop him. Otherwise, if it was confirmed that they had colluded beforehand to cheat, Huayuelou would be in big trouble...
“Miss Qinglu, I don’t mean to doubt you, but I suspect that someone leaked the riddle so that this person could solve it in advance. You came here today just to embarrass me, didn’t you? Otherwise, why would you hide your face and show your true colors?”
Jiang Moyan immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly tried to make amends by explaining herself!
"The reputation of Huayue Tower cannot be tarnished. I advise Young Master Jiang to be careful with his words..."
Qinglu spoke calmly, but her calm tone caused a flicker of fear to appear in Jiang Moyan's eyes, and he quickly apologized awkwardly.
"I misspoke, please don't take offense, Miss Qinglu..."
Qinglu merely glanced at him indifferently, offering no response. She had achieved her desired effect; there was no need to press the matter. Huayuelou was a business, and offending customers was a grave offense. A warning was sufficient…
"So Young Master Jiang can apologize too? That's quite an eye-opener..."
Li Zhu said sarcastically from the side!
"Hmph, we are all well-educated and reasonable people, unlike someone who constantly spews vulgarities. Such a person doesn't deserve to live..."
Jiang Moyan retorted without backing down. He had just suffered a loss at Qinglu's hands and was already seething with anger. Naturally, he wouldn't speak politely to Li Zhu now. Moreover, Li Zhu had just thoroughly offended them, and he didn't dare to make a move, nor did he expect Li Zhu to. Therefore, he could only try to gain some advantage in the verbal exchange to vent his pent-up frustration...
"You can only talk the talk; if you actually lay a hand on him, you'd all end up like Young Master Cui on the ground..."
mad!
That's absolutely insane...
But they were powerless to do anything and could only let Li Zhu humiliate them, which made them all extremely frustrated...
"Young Master Jiang, there's no need to be angry. Why bother arguing with someone who doesn't even dare to show his face..."
"Exactly, I suspect he only knows a few numbers and is deliberately showing them off to undermine our confidence..."
"Just a shameless madman, thinking he can strike us down with this. Little does he know that this only exposes his incompetence. He only knows a few numbers, yet he thinks he's so great. We just didn't have enough time; otherwise, we could have cracked it all, and he wouldn't be here provoking us..."
“That’s right. If he can crack the remaining numbers, I’ll make Young Master Cui call him Dad…”
"If he can decipher the remaining numbers, I'll make that young master Cui on the ground call him grandpa..."
Li Zhu glanced at the unconscious Young Master Cui on the ground, completely unaware that he had gained a father and a grandfather, and most importantly, they were the same person…
If Young Master Cui knew these people were using him as a bet, he'd probably wake up in a rage and say to everyone: "Thank you, thank you all, for making me both a son and a grandson..."
"Are you so sure I can't solve the remaining puzzles?"
Li Zhu asked unhurriedly!
These words made everyone uneasy; they weren't sure if Li Zhu would be able to solve the remaining puzzles...
"Look at yourselves, what difference does it make whether I can or can't? These few numbers are enough to prove that you bunch of scum are no match for me alone, and you still have the nerve to mock me here. I really don't know where you got the courage..."
Li Zhu really wanted to say that even Fish Leong wouldn't dare give you her courage, because you're all too foolish and don't deserve it at all...
"Kid, if you can solve the rest of the puzzle, I'll eat this white cloth. Don't think you've got us figured out..."
Jiang Moyan also believed these people's nonsense, thinking that Li Zhu had no answer left, which is why she dared to respond to Li Zhu so openly...
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so brave..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but give the other person a thumbs up. To dare say something like that, one had to admire Jiang Moyan's courage…
"Hmph, what's it to you whether I'm brave or not? If you can't solve the rest of the puzzles, you'd better kneel down and call us grandpa, begging for our forgiveness..."
Jiang Moyan couldn't help but make a joke...
How can I be sure you'll actually eat such a large piece of white cloth after you lose?
Li Zhu said in a tone that suggested he didn't believe in Li Zhu's character.
"Boy, you dare question even our Young Master Jiang's words? You're such an uncultured bumpkin..."
"That's right, everyone knows our Young Master Jiang is a man of his word..."
"He can actually tell such a ridiculous joke. It's really pathetic. Not only is he too ashamed to show his face, but he's also so ignorant..."
Li Zhu was also defeated by this group of sycophants. It really proves the saying, "Birds of a feather flock together."
"I don't care. If I can't be sure that Young Master Jiang will honor his bet, there's no point in making this bet with him..."
Li Zhu spread his hands, adopting an attitude of "take it or leave it!"
His attitude made Qinglu a little anxious. The puzzle was about to be solved, how could she let it slip away?
So she immediately spoke.
"Young master, rest assured, as long as you can solve the remaining puzzles, I guarantee Young Master Jiang's travel bet..."
"Miss Qinglu, it's not that I don't trust you, but Young Master Jiang is, after all, the grandson of the Grand Tutor. Such a status and position is not something that Huayuelou can afford to offend, is it?"
Li Zhu said calmly!
