Chapter 142

Xu Que shouted this "pervert" out loud.

The scholar was dumbfounded, and everyone in the audience was stunned!

What is going on here? You were clearly the pervert first; how come you are now blaming others?

The scholar came to his senses and was also furious, scolding: "You still dare to cry 'thief' while being the thief! It is your question itself that is problematic! Isn't it just that you want to induce us to become as vulgar as you?

I believe everyone can understand that I am not that kind of person; I only said such a dirty correct answer to expose your disgusting face..."

"No, clearly you answered wrong! Tsk tsk! Is my answer very dirty? Why don't I feel so? Clearly, it is your own heart that is dirty, which is why you see my question as dirty..." Xu Que blinked his eyes and said with an innocent face.

Huh? Answered wrong? Is it our own hearts that are dirty?

Hearing this, everyone's eyelids jumped violently, having a bad premonition—why did it feel like they had been played again!

Sure enough, Xu Que smiled and spoke!

Arm?

Everyone was stunned on the spot after hearing this. Following that, they only felt a strange cramping pain in their chests, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, we can't stand this guy, who can take him down?

At this time, Xu Que even deliberately rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his own fair arm, and explained: "Come, everyone, please stretch out your arms too.

Look, my arm is hard, look at Lady Ya's, naturally it's soft, and that big guy, look at your arm, isn't it very hairy. So, this question is very simple. I am very strange, why couldn't you answer it? Be pure in life!"

"..."

Everyone's mouths twitched repeatedly, having nothing left to say.

After all... this answer really had no problems!

But... why, why did really no one answer correctly?

Everyone swept their gazes toward Xu Que, their mouths twitching, looking at the innocent smile on his face, yet the more they looked, the more they felt he was insidious and deserved a beating!

This guy had been misleading everyone from the beginning, first by using the answer to the second question to bluff everyone into not daring to speak.

Then, when stating the third question, he had that winking expression, misleading everyone into thinking in that direction, causing everyone to think he wanted to use the same trick again, making everyone not dare to say the answer, and so the result evolved like this!

Tang Liufeng stood on the opposite bank of Daming Lake, and after hearing Xu Que's explanation, he was stunned for a long time, immediately regarding Xu Que as a god, and the admiration in his heart flowed like a surging river, continuous and endless!

"In terms of thick-skinned shamelessness and nonsense, in this life, I only admire Brother Li Bai!" Tang Liufeng swore to the heavens.

After hearing Xu Que's answer, Lady Ya was also slightly stunned, then a brilliant light flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise again, 'What a Li Bai of the Exploding Heaven Gang, even this Palace was deceived by him!'

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Rewarded with 40 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Rewarded with 60 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Rewarded with 90 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting a good cool, specially rewarded with 100 Acting Cool Points!"

A series of system prompts rang in Xu Que's mind, and the smile on his face became even thicker.

"Young Master Li, three questions have passed. From today on, you are this Palace's guest of honor! Please enter!"

At this time, Lady Ya also looked at Xu Que and invited him to enter the villa.

The charming look in her eyes, whether intentional or natural, was constantly sending electric signals to Xu Que!

But Xu Que had always considered himself a gentleman, upholding a pure, kind, and righteous heart, and could not be easily seduced by such a tormenting little enchantress!

However, just as he took a step, the outskirts of the crowd at Daming Lake suddenly became restless.

"Eh, that is..."

"It's Young Master Mo, one of the Four Talents of Ming Sheng Academy, the Young Master Mo known as the 'Poetry King'!"

"Wait, look quickly, the person beside him..."

"Damn, it's actually Young Master Zhao, the leader of the Four Talents of Ming Sheng Academy!"

"Even Young Master Zhao has come. It is rumored that he is best at couplets; within the Imperial City, it seems no one can defeat him!"

"That's right, someone once crowned Young Master Zhao as the King of Kings of Couplets!"

"This name is truly well-deserved! I didn't expect Lady Ya to have invited both of them!"

"Hehe, I think it's because of Princess Yan Yang! Otherwise, how could they have appeared so easily!"

"We are in luck now; at the banquet later, we will definitely be able to witness the high literary talent of the two great talents!"

Suddenly, the attention of all the scholars present was attracted by the two figures walking in from outside, discussing heatedly, with exclamations constant.

Xu Que also turned his head to look, only to see two young masters in long robes stepping down from a sedan chair, their faces like jade, their demeanor elegant; they truly had an indescribable grace and refinement!

Lady Ya also raised a trace of joy at the corners of her mouth and said softly: "Young Master Li, the talent of these two is not at all below yours!"

Xu Que raised an eyebrow, sighed faintly, shook his head and said: "Sigh, I didn't expect that you, Lady, are also that kind of person!"

Lady Ya was stunned, what does that mean?

Me? What kind of person am I?

Why did it seem like, all of a sudden, she felt a sense of disappointment and sadness from his eyes?

Xu Que raised his head and said deeply: "Lady, I hope you don't look at me with the eyes of worldly people. I am not someone who relies on my face to make a living. I know my talent has been overshadowed too much by this handsome face, but one day, I will let the world see my true talent!"

After speaking, Xu Que turned and left, stepping into Lady Ya's villa.

And Lady Ya was completely stunned on the spot.

After a few breaths, she realized the meaning of Xu Que's words and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, shaking her head: "This little fellow is truly interesting! He actually took a roundabout way to praise himself for being good-looking!"

However, Lady Ya truly felt surprised by Xu Que's performance today.

After all, there are many talented scholars in the capital, but many are stubborn and bookish, not knowing how to be flexible or humorous.

That is why Lady Ya had set up these two levels with originality; the questions were different each time, but rarely could anyone be like this "Li Bai" before her, with frequent clever ideas, and also carrying a trace of frivolity, especially that slightly upturned, wicked smile at the corners of his mouth, which made Lady Ya couldn't help but reminisce in her mind.

"At the banquet later, I really want to see whose literary talent among the three of you is superior!"
