Chapter 75: Strength Speaks

nned for a moment, then reacted, guessing in her heart that it must have something to do with the toxins in his body. 。Su Qingying's nimble mind raced, her sword-like eyes flashing mischievously as..."That's enough! Su Qingying, what are you doing here" Seeing how difficult Su Qingying was making things for Lan Xinyao, Xuan Yuan Che immediately darkened his face and said unhappily.

Su Qingying gave him a withering glance, her eyes as if looking at an idiot, "Are you stupid Of course, I'm here to win the Coral Pearl! I only came to see the excitement, but I didn't expect you guys to be here too, so this princess changed her mind! This Coral Pearl is mine today!"

"Tsk, you Don't be ridiculous. Ms. Lan is the number one talented woman in Ximeng."

"I think she's here to humiliate us."

The crowd scoffed mercilessly. They were all renowned scholars from the Imperial City. These three questions, they wouldn't be able to answer them, let alone her. Even Lan Xin Yao, known as the first talented woman of Ximing, could only manage to answer one question. Let alone herself.

"A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, I'm just waiting to hear the sound of you slapping your faces!" Su Qingying smiled faintly, the sarcasm in her smile was unmistakable. She turned to face the white-haired old man who had posed the question, her pretty face full of confidence. "Old sir, what are the rules for answering the question"

“There are no rules, just answer the old man’s three questions correctly.” Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man finally raised his head from his previous nap, looking at her with a lukewarm gaze. His clear eyes held no disdain or mockery towards her.

The white-haired old man turned his gaze to Lan Xin Yao, stroked his white beard, and continued, “Three questions. That girl over there has already answered one. As long as the girl answers the remaining two questions, she will be victorious.”

"Good," Su Qingying readily agreed and walked to the pillar with three pairs of couplets, each pair having only an upper line. Blue Heart Yao had already matched the first one, so she skipped it directly and focused her gaze on the next two.

The second line of the couplet is:

Looking at the Jiang Pavilion, gazing at the Jiang River, looking at the Jiang River from under the Jiang Pavilion, the Jiang Pavilion for a thousand years, the Jiang River for a thousand years.

The third couplet of the riddle is:

As the sun sets, its fragrance lingers, dispelling a speck of worldly desires from the heart.

After seeing two questions, Su Qingying's eyes suddenly lit up, her eyes smiling like crescent moons, and the smile on her lips couldn't be concealed.

Haha, what a stroke of luck! She had encountered both of these questions in modern times. As for the third one, it was a riddle couplet which was quite challenging, but she found it no problem at all.

Su Qingying was trying hard to recall the lower lines of these two couplets when she suddenly heard Jun Liye's low, bewitching voice in her ear, "Woman, don't embarrass this king."

She turned her head to glance at him, Su Qingying's lips twitched. So this guy was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep up and embarrass his noble status as the Prince Regent of Beiling The nerve of him! She hadn't even made him come with her.

She gritted her teeth and said through clenched jaws, "Rest assured, I won't disappoint you."

"How is it Can't you answer This king wants to see how embarrassed you are!" Seeing Su Qingying and Jun Liye kissing, Xuan Yuan Che felt an inexplicable anger surge in his heart, as if Su Qingying had done something wrong to him. He couldn't wait to separate the two of them.

This woman is really good at attracting men. She doesn't come to bother herself, but she clings to Jun Liye all day long without shame!

"Are you in such a rush to eat ** while it's hot What's the hurry" Feeling Xuanyuan Che's fiery gaze on her, Su Qingying shifted her attention from Jun Liye. She took big strides, raising her chin arrogantly and speaking loudly.

"…" Xier had already become numb, standing calmly behind her.

“......” Jun Liye's eyes twitched uncontrollably at the corner of his eyes, and his facial expression once again appeared blank for a moment.

"The old man with white hair twitched the long eyebrows at the corner of his eyes without making a sound, and couldn't help but sigh, this girl is really... straightforward!"

"Cough, cough…" Startled by Su Qingying's vulgarity, coughs erupted all around. Xuan Yuan Che nearly choked on his own saliva, his handsome face filled with disbelief.

This woman's shamelessness is simply increasing day by day!

She sighed dramatically and, with a sarcastic tone, Su Qingying said: "I'm just lamenting how such a simple question stumped you all for so long. It makes me worried about your intelligence. Shame on you, calling yourselves scholars and literati when you can't even solve this."

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately ignited the anger of the crowd. However, considering Jun Liye's natural aura of power was present, they dared not speak out, they could only glare angrily.

"We are not capable of this, but seeing the Fifth Princess's confident demeanor, she must surely have an answer in mind, then we respectfully request the Fifth Princess to enlighten us."

Feng Mu lightly glanced at the provocation in their eyes. Su Qingying's beautiful eyebrows arched, and she smiled brightly, "The second line is: Yin Yue Jing, Yin Yue Ying, Yin Yue Jing Zhong Yin Yue Ying; and the third is a riddle couplet. The answer to the top line is 'bald,' and the bottom line is: Furnace extinguished, fire gone, tie the intention horse tightly, the answer is 'donkey'. Put together it's 'bald donkey', old man, am I right"

Su Qingying answered the remaining two questions with such ease, that for a moment everyone was stunned. When they came to their senses, everyone's expressions were different, making it a captivating sight.

"Woman, you always surprise this King, giving him different surprises. This King is truly becoming more and more infatuated with you." Jun Li Ye's handsome face was adorned with a languid smile, that faint smile, sinister and unpredictable, instantly causing many young women to lose their hearts.

"Spare me, your kindness is too much for me to bear. I still want to live a few more years." Su Qingying hurriedly waved her hand, pulling at the corner of her mouth and saying, jumping far away, immediately drawing a line with this devil.

Jun Li's eyes darkened, his blood-red gaze becoming even more profound. He looked at her coldly and expressionlessly, pursed his lips, and said nothing more.

He will never give up on a woman he sets his sights on; he has all the patience in the world for her.

Meanwhile, Lanxin Yao's face turned paler again. Her hand hidden under her sleeve clenched tightly onto the brocade skirt beside her.

Don't listen to the old man's answers, even she felt that her next couplet was perfect and flawless, even in comparison, her previous couplet seemed clumsy.

Damn, when did this idiot become so awesome

"Very good, excellent, wonderful. This old man can't find fault with anything." The white-haired old man nodded in approval.

"That coral bead..."

"Of course it belongs to you. Here, girl, take it." Under the envious and hateful gazes of the crowd, Su Qingying smiled and took the coral bead.

The coral beads are about the same size as ordinary night pearls. The only difference is that they have some blood-colored silk threads inside. From afar, they really look like corals and are just as beautiful.

Originally, she planned to use coral beads to enhance her internal energy. However, after hearing Jun Liye's words, she dismissed the idea. Living a second life, she wouldn't joke with her own life. Side effects Forget about it.

But, she can't use it herself. It could be sold though, it would definitely fetch a good sum of silver.

At the thought of this, she immediately stood tall and held up the coral bead in her hand, shouting loudly, "Come come come, passersby, don't miss out! Now, this princess is auctioning off this coral bead. Whoever bids the highest price gets the bead!"ousness.Could Su Qingying have killed Zhao Ruizhi He was the first one to disbelieve it!Although she is usually carefree and lighthearted, she is a principled person who always does things openly and...
