Chapter 98: Bullying monsters is the fine virtue of our master and three disciples

The third round of competition was set as guessing objects behind a partition.

The original rule was to bring up a cabinet, and then everyone would guess what was inside.

If they played like that, Tang An wouldn't need the three of them to fight; she could guess objects behind a partition herself with her Eye of Truth.

Playing like that was too boring, making it seem like she was bullying them.

Although... although changing the way of playing was indeed bullying them even more.

"Scripture Seeker, are you ready?"

"I, Luli Daxian, will definitely not lose this round."

Tang An did not speak, only stretching her muscles and bones.

Luli Daxian looked at Tang An's sinister smile, and an extremely bad premonition rose in his heart.

"You... what do you want to do?"

"Of course, play a game." Tang An took her Golden Brick out of the Universe Bag, her smile growing even wider. "Play a very interesting game."

Luli Daxian's bad premonition grew stronger; he wanted to retreat, but it was clearly too late, as he had already made his threats.

"You..." Luli Daxian swallowed nervously. "You aren't going to change the rules again, are you?"

"Of course I won't change them; I will play strictly according to the name of the game."

"Name? What name?" Yangli Daxian asked suspiciously.

"Have you forgotten?" Tang An took out the contract. "It has fingerprints on it; this isn't called guessing objects behind a partition, it's called Pointing at a Deer and Calling it a Horse."

"Pointing at a Deer and Calling it a Horse?" Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian looked confused.

It was just changing the name of the competition; could there be any other meaning?

"Come on, let's start." Tang An looked at the King sitting high in the palace. "If you lose again this time, you won't have anything to say, right?"

"Three rounds, three wins; if you try to renege again, don't blame Great Tang for trampling Chechi."

The King wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, his hands shaking. She was just a princess, how could her momentum be so strong?

"Princess of Great Tang, please rest assured."

"That's good." Tang An looked at Luli Daxian and the palace attendants who were ready.

"Start."

For the sake of fairness, the box was taken down by the Queen, who personally placed items inside, locked it, and brought it back up for Tang An and the others to guess.

Looking at the Queen's nervous appearance, she must be hoping that Tang An would definitely not guess what was inside.

Of course, she didn't know that Tang An had never intended to guess from the beginning.

"Who will guess first?" the King asked.

"I'll go first." Luli Daxian was afraid; he was afraid Tang An would play some other tricks.

"Fine, you go." Tang An sat on the stool without even getting up.

Luli Daxian chanted incantations there, looking effortless.

Look at Tang An's side; Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha only needed one glance at the cabinet to know what was inside.

Sun Wukong leaned close to Tang An's ear and whispered: "Master, do you need my help?"

"No need."

"Master, have you already seen what is inside?"

"See?" Tang An admired her Golden Brick. "What's inside is not important at all."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong became interested again; he knew that Master never did things according to common sense.

This time, she would have to tease those three monsters for a good while.

"Reporting to the King and Queen, I have already guessed it." Luli Daxian was full of confidence.

"Oh?" The Queen was overjoyed. "National Teacher, speak quickly."

She was afraid that if she was a moment late, it would be snatched away by Tang An.

"Reporting to the Queen, what is inside is the Mountain and River Social Map Coat and the Universe Geography Skirt."

The Queen was overjoyed, grabbing the King's hand and nodding with a smile to signal the King to rest assured, as the National Teacher had guessed correctly.

The King straightened his back. "Princess of Great Tang, tell us, what is inside?"

Tang An got up from her seat. "I say what is inside is..."

Everyone looked at her expectantly; of course, most people hoped she would guess wrong. Only Wukong and the other two hoped Tang An would guess correctly.

"Hehe~"

It was coming, the standard smile was coming.

"I guess what is inside is ten thousand taels of gold."

Once said, the palace was in an uproar.

The King and Queen laughed out loud. "Princess of Great Tang, have you never actually seen how much ten thousand taels of gold is? How could it fit in such a small cabinet?"

Tang An just watched them laugh, and she maintained her smile throughout.

Until they were tired of laughing and had laughed their fill, Tang An still maintained that smile of "I'm just watching how you'll cry in a moment."

The King and Luli Daxian finally realized something was wrong, and their smiles froze on their faces.

Her answer was not an answer to what was in the cabinet at all; clearly, her intent was not in the wine!

Tang An walked toward Luli Daxian, the brick in her hand already raised.

"Nezha, Huntian Ling."

Nezha cooperated tacitly, immediately casting a spell to bind Luli Daxian and trap him on the ground.

Seeing this, Yangli Daxian was about to act, but felt a hot wind brush past his ear; Nezha was already blocking his path.

"Let her play, or you die." Nezha's eyes were cold as frost, with hidden killing intent.

Yangli Daxian wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the next moment, his neck was pressed by the tip of the Fire-Tipped Spear.

If he dared to say one word, Nezha would send him to the afterlife immediately.

Yangli Daxian swallowed, nodded, raised his hands, and retreated.

Tang An then looked at Luli Daxian. "Now, tell me what is inside?"

"Mountain and River Social..."

Tang An raised the Golden Brick, turning it to the "De" (Virtue) side.

"Smack!"

"Ah!!!"

This sound hit Luli Daxian so hard he almost barked like a dog.

That was a Merit Dharma Artifact! If Tang An had even a little Dharma power, she could have sent him away directly!

"Tsk, not as able to take a beating as the Green Lion Spirit."

Luli Daxian: I'm getting beaten, and you're still complaining?

Three black lines appeared on Yang Jian's forehead. "The Green Lion Spirit is at least the mount of Wenshu Bodhisattva; he cannot be compared to such a small monster."

"Hmm, that's true." Tang An looked at Luli Daxian. "I'll give you another chance; what is inside?"

Luli Daxian's mouth opened slightly; he finally realized it completely.

Pointing at a Deer and Calling it a Horse! So that's what Pointing at a Deer and Calling it a Horse meant!

They were clearly bullying people!

However... listening to their conversation just now, the Scripture Seeker in front of him had actually beaten Wenshu Bodhisattva's mount?

Was she bragging?

Yes, she must be bragging.

But Luli Daxian looked at Nezha holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, who could suppress Yangli Daxian without the slightest resistance just by momentum.

Could it be...

Was she really a disciple of Lishan Laomu???

"Smack!"

Tang An didn't care what he was thinking, and hit him with another brick.

"Answer timed out, again." Tang An blew on her Golden Brick, giving people a sense of ruffian-like coolness.

Luli Daxian was beaten so hard he couldn't even howl; it took a long while for him to barely be able to speak.

"Third Brother, hurry, hurry and get one hundred thousand taels of gold! Hurry!"

Hearing this, Yangli Daxian was so scared he hurriedly had people go to their Daoist temple to get it.

Only when the one hundred thousand taels of gold were carried up by the palace attendants did Tang An go over and collect all the gold into her Universe Bag.

"Answer correct, next question."

Tang An looked at the Queen. "Don't be nervous; whatever you want to put inside, it doesn't matter."

Anyway, no matter what was inside, it wasn't important. What was important was what Tang An wanted. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
