Chapter 25: Bewilderment (1)

  Their goal is to make the Thirteen Young Master look bad, ostensibly to avenge the Snow Girl from before, but in reality they are just using this as an excuse to bully the lucky and enviable Thirteen Young Master.

  Because of this, they thought that activities like clever Q&A were the most likely to make Thirteen Young Master lose face, so when Thirteen Young Master said he was going to perform a talent show, they tried to trick him into participating in the Q&A activity instead.

  On this, Hu Duan just smiled and didn't mean to stop her. She wanted to watch the show, but what she meant by "watching the show" was completely different from others. She wasn't watching the thirteenth young master being bullied, but rather those people who wanted to bully him.

  Don't forget, although the Thirteenth Young Master is very foolish, his memory is extraordinary. From a young age, he has extensively read all books, and in terms of pure knowledge, among all the students in the entire academy, if he's second, then there's no first.

  Few people know that except for Hu Duan and Ye Lan Yu, others only know that his alchemy skills are very strong, after all, he is studying alchemy.

  Later, when it came to randomly answering questions during the level challenge, Shi San Shao was far ahead of second place with his first-place score, which shocked many people.

  The result made people suspect that it was cheating, but after testing, it was found to be absolutely true and reliable data. This result made many people feel ashamed, losing to others is okay, but unexpectedly losing to a widely recognized idiot, which made them unacceptable at once.

  Then the remaining uneliminated ones started to fight with all their might, and in the second round, which was also the final round, they began to raise some questions that they thought were obscure and nobody would know.

  The rule of this round is that participants propose questions and see who can answer the most, whoever wins.

  However, when these people raise questions, they are all based on their habits and are some knowledge problems. So even if they raise them in a small circle or among the thirteen schools, there is still an opportunity to know.

  So in this round, Shi San Shao answered two questions correctly, and others also answered at most two questions. The least did not even answer one question. Leaving aside the results of the preliminary round, with just this, Shi San Shao can definitely make it to the next round and participate in subsequent activities.

  Of course, for the sake of ranking, everyone will continue to use another method to calculate, that is, look at who answered the most this time, and whose questions were answered correctly by the least number of people.

  At this time, everyone surprisingly found that none of the thirteen Shao's questions could be answered correctly. His questions were not particularly difficult and anyone should have been able to answer them, but no one got it right.

  This question is like this: a fool walks on the road, sees a gold coin and a silver coin on the ground. Which one will the fool pick up?

  Some people answered it was gold coins, even a fool would know to take gold coins, while others said it was silver coins because fools don't know.

  "Wrong, of course it's all about taking the gold and silver coins, even a fool knows that! You guys are even more foolish than fools!" The Thirteenth Young Master announced the answer, those people's faces were as ugly as they could be, they all wished to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

  It would be better if others said so, but being said by someone they think is a fool makes it really hard for them to accept.

  At this time, the people below had already burst into laughter. Although they were also faced with the choice between gold and silver coins just now, after all, they didn't make a choice, so they could laugh with an easy conscience.

  It's just that similar things have happened several times, but no one has ever paid attention, thinking it was just a coincidence. That's why a bunch of self-proclaimed smart people were fooled by this little fool, Shi San Shao, countless times, and still didn't learn their lesson, coming to their deaths one after another.

  "Young master, your previous question was a bit misleading. The way you asked it makes people think they can only choose one." Hu Niang said with a suppressed smile afterwards.

  "Is there?" The Thirteenth Young Master thought for a moment, then continued to say: "I didn't say you can only choose one, you can choose multiple ones. And this answer is obvious, I originally wanted to ask the simplest question, but why are they so stupid?"

  “……”

  Sweltering summer days are a time of unpredictable weather, and it's possible that the sky will change at any moment, from clear and sunny to overcast with thunderstorms.

  That day, Shi San Lang encountered such a situation. Due to the sudden change in weather, he was unable to return home and had to stay in the imperial palace. At that time, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, and flashes of lightning tore through the air.

  "Yè Làng, stay here tonight, I'll sleep with you." Seventh Princess said with a smile.

  "Staying over is fine, but we can't sleep together, we're not married yet." Shisan Shao said slowly.

  "Hehe, what's the big deal? We're still young and can't do anything anyway. Sleeping together is normal. Didn't you used to sleep with your sister all the time?" Seventh Princess said with a smile, of course she was just teasing and didn't really want to sleep with Thirteen Young Master.

  "She is my sister," said Shisan Shao.

  "What about Hu Niang?" Seventh Princess asked with a smile, she knew that for a very long time in the past, Thirteen Young Master had slept on the same bed as Hu Niang, but at that time they were both still very young and there was no issue.

  "At that time, I wanted to be with her, now it's gone. It was only when I got sick that she would accompany me." Thirteen Shao replied, after they were ten years old, they slept separately, except when Thirteen Shao needed care, she would sleep on one side.

  When it comes to Hu Niang, she seems to be a bit unwell at home today. Because Shi San Shao was personally picked up by Qi Gong Zhu and promised to take good care of him, so she reluctantly agreed to let him come to the palace to play.

  The Seventh Princess would often take the Thirteenth Young Master out to play, whether it was going for a stroll or touring mountains and rivers. Of course, there were also times when they would go to the imperial palace or the Ye residence. In any case, Hu Die would always be by the side of the Thirteenth Young Master.

  Today was a bit special, and it was this specialness that led to an unexpected accident that shouldn't have happened, making Hu Niang never dare to let Shi San Shao leave her side again.

  "Yè Làng, I've finished my bath, now it's your turn......" Seventh Princess was wearing a thin nightgown, using a towel to wipe her slightly damp hair, and that snow-white skin which had been nourished by water looked extremely alluring. Only her personal maid and Thirteen Young Master could see her like this.

  She basically doesn't avoid suspicion with Shi San Shao and is very casual and natural in front of him.

  "Hey, where's everyone?"

  She was supposed to take a turn after washing, but she couldn't see any sign of the Thirteen Young Master.
