Everyone was stumped. Even Lady Ya was stumped!
Her breasts are bigger than yours?
Big brother, how dare you say such things? Although they are indeed bigger, you can't be so direct!
That's totally disrespectful to Lady Ya!
Everyone looked at Xu Que strangely. Their hearts were either filled with sympathy or gloating over his misfortune.
Tang Liu Feng's facial muscles twitched as he laughed bitterly. He was once again worried for his brother Li Bai.
The anger on young master Zhao's face turned into a look of mockery and ridicule. How dare he speak so rudely to Lady Ya. He's looking for death!
However, Xu Que remained calm and collected.
As the saying goes, a clean mouth isn't afraid of dirty words. There was nothing to be afraid of in such a situation.
He then clasped his hands in respect and looked at Lady Ya before speaking in a serious tone, "My wife is magnanimous and tolerant! You've been hosting the banquet and treating everyone. This humble subject couldn't help but admire Lady Ya's magnanimity. I hope my wife won't feel that I'm being too rude! "
At this point, all the students opened their eyes wide.
Fuck me, you can even do that? You actually managed to turn the tables?
There's no one else under the heavens who can spout nonsense like this. Only you, Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction, can do that!
Lady Ya was originally in a dilemma as well. She admired Xu Que a lot. However, when Xu Que said that her breasts were bigger than yours, she didn't dare to cover up for him.
In the end, she didn't expect Xu Que to spout nonsense and pull out a reasonable excuse for her to get out of this embarrassing situation. Madam Ya was once again stunned by this.
'No wonder he was able to solve my three questions so easily. This young man's innate talent is really high! '
Lady Ya smiled in her heart, but maintained a serious expression on her face. She said faintly, "It's alright, but don't be so rude in front of everyone next time!"
Many students already knew that Lady Ya appreciated Xu Que. Now that Xu Que had given such an explanation, everyone could guess that Lady Ya would definitely not pursue the matter. Therefore, no one was surprised by Lady Ya's response. At most, they were just jealous.
However, to the experienced Xu Que, the meaning of these words was different.
Don't do this in front of everyone next time. Does that mean I can be this rude when there's no one around?
D * mn, this is quite embarrassing … After all, I, the Act Tough Tyrant, bah, the Act Tough Saint is not that kind of person, but … I wonder when Lady Ya is referring to the next time?
…
Of course, as the leader of the four great students, young master Zhao couldn't swallow the humiliation he received from Xu Que. But he also couldn't imitate Xu Que and stand out to scold him.
After a moment of silence, he finally thought of a plan and spoke out, "Lady Ya, it's rare for me to meet an opponent today. Why don't you come up with a question. Li Bai and I will each come up with a couplet. Let's see whose couplet is the first to be answered. Then we'll decide the winner. How about that?"
"Oh?" Lady Ya was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect young master Zhao to use such a method to seek revenge.
She stole a glance at Xu Que, wanting to observe Xu Que's expression and see if he had the confidence to do so.
Xu Que laughed lightly, "Young master Zhao wishes to decide the winner between us? Sure! What happens if I lose? "
"Hehe, if you lose, you have to write the words' I, Li Bai, am not as good as Zhao Hao '. Hang it on your body and walk around the Imperial City! Do you dare? "Young master Zhao laughed out coldly.
Xu Que smiled, "Why wouldn't I dare? What if you lose?"
"Ah, I can't possibly lose. If I really lose, I will write 'I, Zhao Hao, am not as good as Li Bai' and walk around the Imperial City!"
As soon as young master Zhao spoke out, the entire crowd was shocked.
Everyone couldn't sit still as their faces were filled with shock.
"This … He's playing with such high stakes?"
"If he loses, his reputation would be ruined!"
"If he were to walk around the Imperial City, he would become the laughing stock of the entire city. Young master Zhao, why must you do this?"
"That's right. This Li Bai is just a nameless nobody. Why must young master Zhao bet his reputation with him?"
"No, young master Zhao has the confidence to win. Just like what he said, he can't possibly lose!"
Mo Yun Shang spoke out to the people around him as he looked at Xu Que mockingly. He then laughed out coldly, "How dare he anger young master Zhao. Li Bai is going to be in big trouble!"
Tang Liu Feng clutched his forehead as he spoke out bitterly, "Brother Li is going to be in big trouble!"
...
Xu Que and young master Zhao looked at each other as cold smiles flashed across their faces. Both of them felt that the other party was going to die for sure.
"Lady Ya, since Li Bai has agreed, please set the question!"
Young master Zhao looked plainly at Lady Ya as he spoke.
Lady Ya saw young master Zhao's confident demeanor and couldn't help but hesitate. She started to worry for Xu Que.
After all, young master Zhao was able to become the leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College. He must be extremely talented. As for this' Li Bai ', although he was intelligent, Lady Ya wasn't sure if he could win against young master Zhao.
"Lady Ya, please set the question!" At this point, Xu Que looked at Lady Ya and spoke out.
Lady Ya was stumped. She wanted to help Xu Que but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she was powerless to do so.
After pondering for some time, Lady Ya opened her mouth, "Everyone here knows that the Fire Emperor will be looking for a Prince Consort for the Princess. Why don't the two of you come up with a couplet to show that our Fire Empire is stronger than the other four countries? When the time comes, we can present it to the Fire Emperor. That would be the best of both worlds!"
"Show that the Fire Empire is stronger?"
When the crowd heard this, they were stumped.
Lady Ya had come up with such a simple question again. However … The simpler the question, the harder it was to come up with a couplet that would be difficult to match!
Everyone was deep in thought.
Only Xu Que was so excited that he almost ran up to Lady Ya and kissed her passionately.
F * ck, this question is absolutely perfect. I just happened to bump into the muzzle of a gun. Even the heavens are on my side!
"Whoosh!"
Just then, young master Zhao remained silent for a few breaths before he stood up abruptly.
Under everyone's astonished stares, he spoke in a booming voice, "Pointing out the mountains and rivers, the Fire Emperor's rivers and mountains are many. Today is the day of peace and prosperity. Listen to the chimes of the bells and drink the wine of prosperity from all directions!"
The entire crowd was silenced!
Everyone was moved by this. Such a majestic couplet was simply wonderful!
Lady Ya was stunned as well. Her face was full of astonishment.
"What a great phrase, 'Listen to the chimes of the bells and drink the wine of prosperity from all directions'. It shows the strong and prosperous side of our Fire Empire like a painting!"
"Impressive, impressive. Young master Zhao's title as the leader of the Four Talents is not just for show!"
"I am extremely impressed!"
Everyone was in awe.
Someone turned around and looked at Xu Que with a face full of schadenfreude, "Li Bai, where's your couplet?"
At this point, everyone turned their gazes towards Xu Que and felt pity for Xu Que.
Once young master Zhao recited his couplet, it would be hard to think of another one that could compete with it.
"Ah!"
Young master Zhao's lips curled up into a cold smile.
Mo Yun Shang's face was filled with mockery.
Tang Liu Feng's eyes were filled with sympathy and sorrow!
Lady Ya's face was filled with worry and regret. If 'Li Bai' were to lose to young master Zhao, he would have to walk around the Imperial City. With her status, she would never be able to interact with 'Li Bai' ever again.
'Ai, it's such a pity for such a talented young man. If he didn't agree to young master Zhao's request, he wouldn't be in such a predicament now!' Lady Ya sighed and shook her head.
"Pa!"
Right at this point, Xu Que snapped his fingers and lit up another cigarette.
"Hiss!" "Phew!"
Everyone stared at him. Nobody spoke and the entire place was silent. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of his puff.
The moment he puffed out the smoke, Xu Que stood up and gazed out the window.
The rain had stopped and a thin layer of mist hung on the surface of the lake. The willow trees by the lake were blurry and blurry.
After several breaths, his face was filled with a sense of loneliness. It was as if he was invincible and lonely. He then opened his mouth.
"My couplet is — Smoke locks the willows by the lake!"
