Han Wenguang was so honest and frank, but she had wasted all her efforts.
Han Wenguang was so honest and frank, but she had wasted all her efforts.
Yu Shu thought it was a pity and said,
"Since that's the case, then consider the third round my victory. According to what I said earlier, your disciple challenged me to a duel. Now that he has lost, he should bow to me, serve me tea, and hand me the official seal." Yu Shu didn't care when Han Wenguang came. She clearly stated the previous agreement and waited for them to fulfill it.
Han Wenguang turned his head and glanced at his disciples who looked ashamed. His eyes sharpened, and when he turned to Yu Shu, he disappeared again and said to her with a kind look, "It's all my fault.
"It's all because of this old man's stubbornness, forcing them to come to you for advice. You can't blame them for this. You're the first of the top three, so it's only right that they lost to you. This old man will apologize to you. For this old man's sake, please be magnanimous."
When Yu Shu heard this, she really wanted to laugh. She was almost treated as a pile of bones and her future was almost ruined. This old man just said a few words and treated it as nothing happened. Did he treat her like a child?
Ridiculous!
If she didn't know his intention, Yu Shu might not become enemies with him for the sake of his reputation and age. But she knew that he was a wolf or a tiger. How could she throw away the knife just because he temporarily kept his sharp claws?
"If that's the case, Old Oracle, then I've already given you face and let them have their way twice. Everything can be done once or twice, but not three or four times. Forgive me for being rude — "
Yu Shu cupped her hands at him, turned around and pointed at the table in front of her, asking people to carry it away. She lifted the hem of her clothes and sat on her mahogany chair. She pointed at the people behind Han Wenguang and said in a cold tone, "You're not the only one.
"If you admit defeat, come up and bow to me. If you want to deny it, then get out."
There was silence in and out of the building again. This time, even Han Wenguang couldn't keep his face. Looking at Yu Shu with a gloomy face, his disciples were ashamed and angry, but they had no words to refute.
Hou Luting was still young, and she was the first to lose her cool. Maybe because she had someone to back her up, she became more confident. She stepped forward and pointed at Yu Shu angrily.
"You, you're so rude. You're full of nonsense. What do you mean by 'give it to us'? When have you ever given it to us? It's true that you've won two rounds, but didn't you lose the first round to my Senior Brother Pan? You got first place in the exam in vain, how can you not compare to my Senior Brother who got second place! "
Yu Shu crossed her legs and glanced at her. "Why didn't I go easy on you? There are so many pairs of eyes watching. You clearly lost to me in crab counting, but I still answered your third question. Isn't this called going easy? If this isn't called, then — "
She looked down and saw a spot. She curled up the corner of her mouth and pointed there. "Hey, there. Pick it up and show it to your Senior Brother Pan. Ask him if I went easy on you."
Many people in the room followed Yu Shu's finger and looked at the ground. They saw a pile of waste paper lying alone on the red carpet. Many people vaguely remembered that Yu Shu threw it on the ground when she was solving the first question.
Hou Luting was not convinced. Picking up the piece of paper from the ground, she opened it and saw a line of numbers. Puzzled, she handed it to Pan Ming, but Pan Ming was stunned. He snatched the piece of paper from her hand and read it several times. His fingers trembled slightly.
This made the rest of the people confused. Xin Liu and Feng Zhaomiao, who had been watching from the sidelines, also gathered around. Xin Liu asked,
"Lotus Room, what's written on it?"
Yu Shu leaned one arm on the armrest, tilted her head and held her chin. Without looking back, she said, "What else can it be? Of course, it's the answer to my first question."
More than a hundred people were stunned. Very quickly, some people came back to their senses. The first to respond was Feng Zhaomiao.
"Then, then you are —"
Yu Shu sneered. She looked at the Old Oracle Han whom she had never met before, but had schemed to ruin her future. Her eyes flashed with coldness and calmly said,
"I was afraid that the Old Oracle would lose face, so I purposely lost the first round. Otherwise, do you really think that the Celestial Commissioner chose a female oracle like me to make up the numbers? If Old Diviner doesn't accept it, then I'll draw a line here. Do you dare to have a match with me? If I lose to you, then your disciples don't need to bow and apologize to me. I'll kneel down and kowtow to you three times. How about it? "
At this moment, Yu Shu had put away her shrewd and unreasonable appearance. She was arrogant and proud. She pressed forward with an indomitable will. She was so fierce that it made people's hearts palpitate!
Xue Rui stood behind the flowery shelf and stared at that person's silver robe, and he could only feel his heart thumping fiercely. The threads of love that were coiled before his chest suddenly tightened, and it was as if a hand was grabbing onto his heart. He had an impulse to clamor, and it was almost impossible for him to restrain himself!
Han Wenguang was not confident that he could win. Even if he was confident, he would have to think twice when he saw Yu Shu's amazing aura.
"Heh heh heh, twenty years of calculation turned into a dream …" Pan Ming laughed and cried at the same time. His eyes were red as if he had gone mad. He grabbed the crumpled calculation paper tightly and walked up to Yu Shu, ignoring everyone's gazes. He pulled out a brocade pouch from his waist and bowed to Yu Shu.
"I lost the bet."
Yu Shu pointed at the brocade bag he offered and took out a red jade turtle nose seal. After confirming it, she raised her head and looked at Han Wenguang, whose face was as calm as still water. She deliberately said,
"Great Oracle Pan, what I said before still counts. Whenever you want to know the solution to the second question, you can find me at any time. The condition is still the same. You have to be my disciple."
Pan Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. He turned around and knelt down in front of Han Wenguang. He kowtowed to him three times and said, "I'm sorry."
Then, he stood up and madly combed his hair as he left!
Yu Shu watched him leave and felt sorry. What she said just now was not a lie. With Pan Ming's temperament, if he was willing, she would teach him without hesitation.
After Pan Ming left, the scene became chaotic. People were talking about Yu Shu's way of doing things. Some thought that she was tough and some thought that she was too domineering.
But one thing was for sure. After the three matches today, no one would doubt the title of Great Oracle Woman, Yu Shu!
After today, Yu Shu will become the hottest topic in An Ling City when the news of this battle spreads out.
Yu Shu didn't care about this. She pointed at the remaining people and said, "If you didn't hear what I said just now, I will repeat it. You either admit defeat or get out of here."
Jin Zuofeng and Hou Luting were so ashamed and angry. They looked at Han Wenguang and waited for him to make the decision. Han Wenguang sighed. He was angry and sad, but he couldn't show it because of his face. He could only smile bitterly,
"Go. Your Senior Brother is right. You lost the bet. "
They couldn't disobey their master's order. Jin Zuofeng and Hou Luting had no choice but to take the seal and give it to Yu Shu. They bowed to her and said,
"Jin Zuofeng admitted defeat."
"Hou Luting admitted defeat."
Yu Shu took the seal from them. It was an agate seal. He put the White Tiger Medallion into the brocade pouch that Pan Ming had given him earlier. In front of everyone, he put it into his bosom. Then, he stood up and shook his sleeves. There was a faint smile on his face and a hint of flattery on his face. He bowed to Han Wenguang.
"Old Mister Han. Sorry for offending you. "
If people bully me, I will be strong. If people bully me, I will be low. I will fight for the top!
Han Wenguang's old face was a little green. He stared at her for a moment, then swung his sleeves and walked away with the few guards he brought with him. The few incompetent disciples were like roosters that had lost a fight. They lowered their heads and followed behind him. The group of people quickly disappeared from the Wang Ji Tower.
Yu Shu looked at the gate that was blocked by the onlookers again. She was angry. She raised her eyebrows and adjusted her outer cover. She turned around and glanced at the guests in the tower. She smiled and squinted her eyes. She bowed and said,
"Thank you for attending today's banquet. Please stay and continue drinking."
After saying that, she put her hands into her sleeves and strolled to the back of the screen.
Xin Liu and Feng Zhaomiao hurried to catch up. Lin Fu smiled and directed the waiters to clean the door. He then asked the onlookers to leave.
Yu Shu walked past the flower stand. She thought she would see Xue Rui first. But he was gone. She wondered if he left after seeing her win the third round.
Feeling a little disappointed, Yu Shu curled her lips and smiled at Pei Jing and He Fangzhi who had moved chairs to sit in the aisle. She said, "I let godfather and uncle worry. It's all right now. You can go upstairs and rest. I will ask someone to send some good wine."
Pei Jing had a strange expression on his face. He had not recovered from the shock of seeing her challenge Han Wenguang. He glanced at her and knew that it was not a good time to get to the bottom of it. He pulled He Fangzhi upstairs first.
Yu Shu was a little slow. Xin Liu and Feng Zhaomiao caught up with her. They surrounded her and sighed. Some were envious of her excellent arithmetic skills, and some were worried that she had offended Han Wenguang.
Yu Shu was too lazy to deal with these people. She said a few perfunctory words and sent a maid to send them back to their room to drink. When she turned around, she found that Yu Xiaoxiu and Hu Tianer had disappeared. She asked Yun Dou and learned that when someone came to cause trouble, the two boys had slipped out from the back door to play. With Gui Ba following them, there was no need to worry about them running around.
After sending these people away, Yu Shu went to the second floor with a sore back and shoulders. She was going to wash her face before going to see Liu Tan.
She absent-mindedly opened the door and closed it. When she turned around, she was shocked by Xue Rui who was sitting on the opposite tea chair. He patted his chest and rebuked,
"Why are you here?"
After the sun, the sky was dim. She could not see Xue Rui's expression clearly. She only felt that his dark eyes were too bright. He stared at her so much that her neck was covered with goosebumps. She subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with him.
"Big brother?"
Xue Rui took a deep breath and lowered his head to rub his burning forehead. It took a lot of self-control not to choose this inappropriate time to express his feelings to her.
"I'm fine. You go in to wash and have a rest. I have something to say to you later."
"Do I need to go to the ninth prince to talk to him first?"
"No need. He has already left." Xue Rui stood up. When he walked to Yu Shu's side, he stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her softened brows. Recalling her ferocity outside the building just now, he smiled deeply and raised his hand. Using his height, he gently pressed his palm on the top of her head and rubbed her feverish head.
"Good win."
This praise made Yu Shu couldn't help but curve her eyes. She felt excited in her heart. She didn't know why, but it seemed that she had finally heard a suitable praise. That's right. She didn't need someone to worry about whether she had offended someone important or not. She also didn't want someone to ask curiously how she won. At this time, she just needed a word of approval.
Xue Rui didn't say anything more. He let go of her and pushed the door to leave. He was afraid that if he stayed one step longer, he would go too far.
