Chapter 111: A Sensation in the Capital

"Smoke locks the pond willows?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly stumped Mu Ningxi.

In order to let Mu Ningxi easily understand the meaning of this sentence.

Chu Feng even specially found paper and a brush to write it out for her.

The crowd also immediately looked over.

They discovered that this couplet not only rhymed, but also contained the Dao of the Five Elements.

Many talented scholars well-versed in poetry and books scratched their heads, unable to think of any matching phrase.

Looking at Mu Ningxi.

At this moment, she felt like pulling her hair out.

She thought for a long time but could not come up with any matching phrase.

Now she finally understood.

Why Chu Feng said that as long as she could answer it, it would count as her winning.

Because he had directly given her an unsolvable problem.

"Hahahaha..."

"Can't answer it, can you!"

Lu Bingyu laughed until tears streamed out.

Chu Feng truly did not let her down; with just one sentence, he had directly stumped the other party.

"Hmph!"

Mu Ningxi let out a cold snort.

She immediately took out silver to buy that crab lantern and handed it to Lu Bingyu, "A bet is a bet!"

"Hehe, thanks!"

Having obtained the crab lantern she had been longing for.

Lu Bingyu could not be happier.

The significance of this lantern was extraordinary, because she had won it through her own ability. (Chu Feng winning also counted as her winning)

Some are happy, some are sad!

Looking at Lu Bingyu's beaming face, Mu Ningxi found it grating no matter how she looked at it.

Furious, she stomped her foot hard and quickly left the scene.

The onlookers also hurriedly cleared a path for this young lady.

"My god, he actually stumped the Capital's number one talented woman!"

"Who's to say otherwise? Anyway, I wouldn't know how to respond!"

"General Chu, this line was proposed by you, could you reveal the answer to us?"

"That's right! General Chu, could you please tell us?"

Facing the crowd's questioning.

Chu Feng cupped his hands in a salute.

"Apologies, everyone, as time is limited, I still have to accompany my little sister to go shopping, so I cannot stay!"

Chu Feng looked at Lu Bingyu, "Let's go!"

Who is your little sister?

You should call me elder sister!

But considering you helped me win this lantern, I won't hold it against you.

Lu Bingyu played with the lifelike lantern in her hands, feeling wonderful inside.

At this moment, she felt more and more that she had missed out on too much beauty.

Within the sect, she did nothing but cultivate, and had never experienced the fireworks of the human world.

After experiencing it this time, she liked this place even more.

She felt that this place was truly wonderful.

"Eh, what is that?"

At this moment, a flame suddenly bloomed, bursting into a brilliant spark in the air.

"That is molten iron flower!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's hurry over and take a look!"

Lu Bingyu put away her lantern and dragged Chu Feng straight to the scene of the molten iron flower.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

At this time, a considerable crowd had gathered at the molten iron flower site.

Cheers and exclamations of wonder were endless.

"Oh my, I can't see!"

Lu Bingyu ran to the front and tried her best to stand on tiptoe.

Limited by her height, she could not see the specific situation inside at all.

As a Martial Venerable, she could fly, but if she were to fly up, she would appear somewhat out of place with the others.

After all, this is entering the world.

One must act like a person and not be too unconventional.

Chu Feng, standing to the side, saw Lu Bingyu's current predicament and patted her: "Come, I'll help you!"

"How are you... hey? What are you doing!"

Chu Feng did not speak; he directly grabbed her and placed her onto his shoulders.

Once Lu Bingyu was seated firmly, she still felt somewhat apprehensive in her heart.

However, this feeling of looking down upon all the mountains was truly not bad.

"How is it, can you see?"

"I... I can see!"

Lu Bingyu said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Although she was no longer young, her heart remained that of a simple child.

Suddenly being treated this way, she felt a warmth in her heart.

Especially being lifted above his head by Chu Feng all at once, she suddenly realized what it meant to be cherished.

"Th... thank you!"

"You're welcome, it was no trouble at all!"

"By the way, do you still remember the reward I mentioned to you earlier?"

"Reward?"

Chu Feng recalled for a moment, "Oh? I almost forgot; I helped you win the bet, how should you thank me?"

"Hmm..."

Lu Bingyu pondered for a long time, and then her little face instantly turned red.

Finally, she gave Chu Feng's face a quick kiss.

"There, that is the reward for you!"

Chu Feng gently touched the spot where he had been kissed and smiled slightly: "Thank you, I really like your reward!"

Lu Bingyu did not speak, and Chu Feng did not ask her either.

The two of them just watched the molten iron flower performance on the scene with their whole hearts.

Until it ended.

Upon returning home, Lu Bingyu puffed up her cheeks and locked herself in her room.

The servant who witnessed this situation hurriedly told the Madam the news.

After learning of this situation, Madam Zhang immediately went to visit her daughter.

Just as she was about to push open Mu Ningxi's door, she heard Mu Ningxi frantically beating her pillow.

"Detestable, detestable, detestable, detestable!"

"You fellow, I hate you to death!"

"What has happened here?"

Madam Zhang was very puzzled, and immediately pushed open the door.

Seeing her mother enter, Mu Ningxi hurriedly put away her petulance.

"Mother, why have you come?"

"My precious daughter is so angry, how could Mother not come and see?"

"This..."

Madam Zhang came before her daughter, and then sat on the bed together with Mu Ningxi.

"Come, tell Mother, what exactly happened, who bullied you?"

"No, it's not that!" Mu Ningxi shook her head.

"Since you weren't bullied, then why are you so angry?"

"That is because..."

Mu Ningxi recounted her experience.

After listening to her daughter's account, Madam Zhang also felt a wave of surprise.

"My heavens, to think someone could actually beat you at matching couplets; even the current Top Scholar hasn't surpassed you!"

"Yes, the key is that this person is a general who fights in wars. I matched several rounds with him and couldn't win, and in the end, he just casually threw out one that stumped me!"

"Hehe, look at that, you've met a master, haven't you?"

Madam Zhang poked her daughter's forehead with her index finger.

Her daughter had always been known as the number one talented woman in the Capital, and was usually wildly arrogant.

Meeting a master this time might actually make her settle down a bit.

"Mother, you are also a lady of a noble family and are well-read in poetry and books; can you match this couplet?"

"This..."

Madam Zhang pondered for a long time and smiled bitterly, "Hehe, this couplet is too difficult, Mother cannot match it either!"

"..."

In an instant.

The contest between Chu Feng and Mu Ningxi became a sensation throughout the Capital.

A fierce general from the border defeated the number one talented woman of the Capital.

The rumors of this extraordinary man of Great Wei spread like wildfire.

It resounded throughout the entire Capital.
