【Respected Mr. Ye Xuan, the 8th China Hundred Schools Sinology Forum will be held at Yanjing Jiuhua Villa...】

After receiving the invitation letter from the Sinology Association, Ye Xuan packed his luggage slightly and then rushed to Yanjing.

When Ye Xuan arrived in Yanjing by plane, he met the Peking University president who came to greet him as soon as he got off the plane.

After spotting Ye Xuan's figure, the Peking University president was incredibly excited throughout the process.

Even though he had met several times, he was still like a little fanboy seeing his idol for the first time.

"Mr. Ye, long time no see, this journey must have been very hard..."

Halfway through, feeling his sleeve being pulled by his old friend beside him, the Peking University president remembered that he had forgotten his old friend who came with him in his excitement.

"That..."

Suppressing the embarrassment in his eyes, the Peking University president scratched his head and took the initiative to introduce him to Ye Xuan.

"Come, come, come, let me introduce you to Mr. Ye. This is my old friend, President Wang Yang of the Sinology Association..."

As the Peking University president's voice came out, Ye Xuan's gaze also swept towards the strange man beside him.

This President Wang of the Sinology Association is about forty or fifty years old, thin, but his spirit is quite good.

At this moment, meeting Ye Xuan's gaze, this President Wang showed a polite smile, and his voice also revealed a touch of excitement.

"Mr. Ye, hello, I am Wang Yang, president of the Sinology Association. It is a great honor to be able to invite you to participate in our Sinology forum..."

After simple pleasantries with this Sinology Association president, Ye Xuan sat in the car with the two of them and headed to this Jiuhua Villa.

Along the way, listening to the introductions of the Peking University president and President Wang, Ye Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

This Sinology Association is really a big deal.

The Jiuhua Villa they booked is a famous resort villa in Yanjing, even possessing a wealth of entertainment projects such as hot springs, health care, entertainment, and horse riding.

However, just as Ye Xuan arrived at the gate of Jiuhua Villa with the two of them, he saw a staff member running over in a hurry.

"President, you are finally back, the people from the School of Names and everyone are arguing!"

"What?! How did those people start arguing! Mr. Ye, I'll go over and take a look first."

Apologizing to Ye Xuan, President Wang took the lead and walked away.

Hearing the words "School of Names", Ye Xuan behind him narrowed his eyes slightly.

The School of Names is also one of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

This forum hasn't started yet, and they are already arguing?!

Secretly sighing that it was interesting, Ye Xuan and the Peking University president beside him also followed behind President Wang.

Walking slowly along the garden, Ye Xuan heard everyone's voices from afar.

"A white horse is not a horse?! Mr. Sun, how can you say that?!"

"How can a white horse not be a horse?!"

"Aren't white horses and horses both horses?"

Listening to everyone's voices, Ye Xuan already had a guess.

Didn't expect to encounter the "white horse is not a horse" theory of the School of Names first.

At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard in the crowd was pointing at a white horse that was clean and dust-free beside him and said slowly.

"Wrong, it's a big mistake, how can a white horse be a horse?"

"There are many colors of horses in this world, white, black, brown, red, gray, all colors exist.

If your mount is a white horse, someone rides it for a day, and the next day gives you a black horse.

Telling you that it's all the same, anyway, it's a horse, would everyone agree?!"

As the old man's voice came out, the onlookers shook their heads, obviously not agreeing.

And this appearance fell into the eyes of the old man in the center of the crowd, and he revealed a clear smile.

"Looking at it from the other side, if someone says a horse equals a white horse, or a horse equals a black horse.

Doesn't that mean a white horse equals a black horse?!

Therefore, a horse does not equal a white horse, so a white horse is naturally not a horse."

After speaking, the onlookers were dumbfounded.

Some people were confused and felt that something was wrong, and some were still thinking hard about how to refute.

A white horse is a horse!

How come after listening to the old man, a white horse is not a horse?!

Clearly everyone felt that the old man's words were problematic, but they couldn't squeeze out a single word to refute.

The white-haired old man standing in the center noticed the arriving President Wang and raised his eyebrows.

"President Wang, you are here too, do you agree with my 'white horse is not a horse' theory just now?!"

Hearing this, President Wang, who ran over all the way, also stiffened.

"Mr. Sun, you this..."

After stammering for a while, President Wang didn't think of how to refute the words of the School of Names.

Just as sweat was oozing from his forehead, his peripheral vision noticed Ye Xuan who was walking slowly, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think?"

This is clearly asking Ye Xuan for help.

Noticing President Wang's gaze, the old man who spoke just now looked at Ye Xuan on the side, and after reacting to who Ye Xuan was, his eyes also added a bit of respect.

"Didn't expect Mr. Ye to also come to participate in the Sinology Forum.

I am Sun Long of the School of Names, I don't know what advice you have?!"

The tone of the first sentence was polite, but the second sentence was clearly self-satisfied.

Obviously, he was quite confident in his "white horse is not a horse" theory.

Watching many people's eyes looking at him, Ye Xuan's expression remained calm.

The School of Names in this world is indeed a step behind later generations.

Based on "name" and "reality", they abandoned "reality" and instead pursued sophistry in "name".

After a circle in his mind, Ye Xuan's faint voice rang out.

"This old gentleman, this white horse is indeed beautiful."

As soon as the words came out, the old man opposite clearly showed joy.

"This is my favorite horse, called Bai Fa Snow. I heard that Jiuhua Villa can ride horses, so I brought it here."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

At this moment, he didn't speak immediately, but looked around.

After noticing a black horse in the distance, Ye Xuan curled his lips and pulled the black horse over.

"Old gentleman, I think this black horse is your favorite mount, right?!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd suddenly revealed a look of astonishment.

Clearly, they didn't expect Ye Xuan to suddenly say such a sentence.

This is clearly a black horse, how did it become Sun Lao's favorite mount?!

At this moment, the old man's reaction was exactly the same as everyone else's, and he asked on the spot.

"Mr. Ye, what you are holding is a black horse, and what I have is a white horse, how can this be the same?!"

Watching the confusion in the old man's eyes, Ye Xuan smiled lightly.

"According to what you just said, a horse does not equal a white horse, and a white horse does not equal a horse.

The white horse just now is your favorite mount, and this black horse is also my favorite mount.

In this way, a white horse equals a favorite mount, and a black horse equals a favorite mount.

Then a white horse also equals a black horse.

In other words, isn't this black horse your favorite mount?!"

As soon as Ye Xuan's words fell, the words the old man opposite wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

"This, this, this..."

This is simply using his own words to fight back against himself!

At this moment, President Wang of the Sinology Association on the side suddenly brightened his eyes.
