Chapter 514

After all, kneeling to become a disciple meant there was still a chance to live, but if it were the second condition of placing rice on a chessboard, he definitely wouldn't be able to produce that astronomical amount of grain and would certainly have to pay with his life!

Although this Gao Yang is full of tricks, he still has some integrity.

Suan Wudao nodded to himself.

Xu Xuanji found it hard to listen any longer.

Someone who could burn rattan-armored soldiers and use bacteria to kill enemies is afraid of shortening his life?

Damn it, he would bet his life that there was definitely a trap!

Chu Ningyu's beautiful eyes were cold, staring tightly at Gao Yang's face. She naturally knew the ruthlessness of the chessboard rice-placing method, but Gao Yang's reaction made her feel that something was wrong.

Great Chu and Da Qian were already at odds, and the Great Chu's number one poetry saint, who had been angered to death and forced to commit suicide by Gao Yang, was still lying on the ground. It was obvious that Great Chu was here to settle the score; how could they give up so easily!

As Da Qian's number one poison strategist, how could Gao Yang not think of this?

And based on her understanding of Gao Yang, he had the personality of a bastard who would take every advantage he could get.

Wrong!

This Gao Yang is up to something!

In this instant, Chu Ningyu's whole body tensed up, and she felt a great crisis.

This was a lesson learned from two human lives!

But before she could open her mouth to stop him, Suan Wudao's voice suddenly rang out.

"Since you, Lord Gao, do not wish to take advantage of me, I naturally have no objections. Let it be as you say, Lord Gao!"

In this instant, the ominous feeling in Chu Ningyu's heart grew even stronger.

"The bet is small, but the reputation is great!"

"This official must think carefully."

Gao Yang spoke and began to pace inside the Jin Luan Hall.

Chu Ningyu walked to Suan Wudao's side, her expression solemn as she said, "Master Suan, you must be careful. Gao Yang's reaction is very wrong; it's as if he is plotting something!"

Suan Wudao said calmly, "Great Princess, do not panic. Mathematics is different from poetry and couplets; there is only one correct answer. If you can't do it, you can't do it!"

"This Gao Yang cannot calculate it!"

Seeing Suan Wudao so confident, and since the bet had already been made, she couldn't pour cold water on it again and could only pray in her heart that everything would go smoothly.

Wu Zhao watched Gao Yang pacing left and right in the Jin Luan Hall, her expression thoughtful.

This Gao Yang knew the danger of the chessboard rice-placing method, yet he still agreed to the bet. This clearly meant he already had the answer to the chicken-and-rabbit cage problem, but why hadn't he spoken yet, instead pretending to be deep in thought?

What kind of mischief is this Gao Yang brewing in his belly again?

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes locked onto Gao Yang, feeling strange.

Immediately after, Wu Zhao saw Gao Yang walk in front of Cui Xinghe.

Cui Xinghe was thinking about the answer when he discovered a figure in front of him—it was Gao Yang.

"Lord Gao, this official is only skilled in poetry and prose; in the realm of mathematics, I am truly powerless!"

"You are too impulsive!"

Cui Xinghe said in a low voice. After all, admitting in public that one couldn't figure it out was a very shameful thing, and for the proud Cui Xinghe, this was absolutely unbearable.

"It's nothing, this official just happened to walk here. This is the eye of the Five Mirror Eight Trigrams formation, blessed with the dragon Qi of Da Qian; standing here makes it easier to think. You don't need to mind, Top Scholar Cui."

"Just don't disturb this official's thinking."

Gao Yang lowered his voice and said with a serious face.

Cui Xinghe was completely baffled.

What is this Gao Yang doing?

After a short while, noticing that Gao Yang showed no signs of leaving, Cui Xinghe thought about moving away, but Gao Yang suddenly asked in a low voice, "Top Scholar Cui, have you eaten today?"

Cui Xinghe was shocked.

Gao Yang's sudden concern made him feel flustered.

At such a critical juncture, with only half an hour left, Gao Yang comes to ask if he has eaten breakfast?

"Lord Gao, what do you mean by this?"

Cui Xinghe sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out exactly what.

A simple smile appeared on Gao Yang's face as he said casually, "Top Scholar Cui, don't be nervous, this official was just asking, just asking."

Immediately after, Gao Yang turned and strode away.

He continued to bury his head in deep thought, looking as if the question were truly difficult.

Leaving behind Cui Xinghe, who was completely baffled and left in the wind.
