âHow could anyone have such a strange name?â The elder sister glared and kicked the doorframe.
Little Huan chuckled, âI only listened for a while, then quickly ran back here. That Yang Baba said heâs a top scholar in their hometown, so everyone calls him Yang Baba.â
Upon hearing this, the elder sister was stunned, then broke out in hearty laughter, unconcerned about maintaining a ladylike demeanor, she said, âHeâs indeed an interesting character, but Iâm afraid he may have fooled all those scholars.â
Following the elder sister, Little Huan shook her head, her eyes sparkling, âNo, those scholars actually admired Young Master Yang a lot, Young Master Liang even said he wanted to get acquainted with him. Itâs a pity I didnât stick around to see if they became friends.â
The elder sister scoffed, âThat dunce, Liang Kai, although heâs not the dumbest person in Xiushan City, if he were to go up the main street and proclaim, âIâm so stupid,â no one would dare challenge him!â
Little Huan burst into laughter, but before she could respond, she suddenly heard a wailing from not too far in front of them, âHeavens! I am so stupid!â The voice was thin but clear, it could be none other than Young Master Liang. The elder sister and Little Huan were both stunned and almost fell laughing. After a while, the elder sisterâs eyes gleamed with interest, and she said, âLittle Huan, help me tidy up my clothes!â
Little Huan pouted, âI really donât understand what big sister is thinking, acting like a well-bred lady in front of others. Why not just do what you like to do? I prefer you being yourself, eating meat and drinking liquor.â
The elder sister glared at Little Huan, âWhat does a little kid like you know? Men donât like wild women, but they cannot resist well-bred ladies. Do you want your elder sister to never get married?â
Little Huan stuck out her tongue, âI wouldnât dare!â
Se??ch ?ew?o?e? /o?g o? ?oo?l?
âAlright, then come with me!â the elder sister begrudgingly said, âDo you think I like pretending to be like this? I just donât want to get scolded by our master!â âHehe, I knew it!â
As they walked along, from afar they saw a young man standing out in the crowd, pointing at Liang Kai and shouting at him.
âWhen I say youâre stupid, you refuse to accept it, so let me ask you another question!â
Yang Zhen casually pulled out a question card from the stack, threw it to Liang Kai, and said, âRead!â
âThe well is very deep, how can ordinary people drink the water inside without using any tools?â
âHow⦠how could we possibly drink it?â
I know! Do we fill the well with large stones so the water rises?â
âArenât large stones considered tools?â
âUm, we could wait for the water to rise?â
As soon as the question was asked, everyone started chattering excitedly. The usual solemnity and timidity were replaced by animated discussions, with all kinds of strange and bizarre ideas being brought up.
Yang Zhen glanced at the crowd, signaling Liang Kai, âYou tell us!â
Liang Kai was stunned for a moment, somewhat embarrassed to see everyoneâs expectant gazes.
âGo on, donât be shy. Learning is about asking and answering. If you donât ask, how can you learn? If you donât learn, how can you ask?â Yang Zhen advised earnestly.
Liang Kai immediately nodded, saying, âBrother Yang, I have a martial skill known as Dragon Claw Hand, itâs a heaven-levelâ¦â
Slap!
Yang Zhen smacked Liang Kai on the head, âHeaven-level, heaven-level, does an ordinary person know what that is? Tell me, how would a mortal do it?â âThisâ¦â Liang Kai was at a loss.
âThatâs right, can you teach me this Dragon Claw Hand?â Yang Zhen asked Liang Kai, scrutinizing him.
Liang Kai hurriedly agreed, saying, âThat wonât be difficult. My family has many martial skills. I just felt that Dragon Claw Hand had a very domineering aura, which is why I chose to learn it. If Brother Yang is interested, I can get someone to deliver it to you.â
âNo need to deliver, just repeat it to me once, and Iâll remember.â
Brother Yang, itâs no wonder youâre a memory genius and top scholar of the
Dirty Detachment Gang, but about this questionâ¦â
Yang Zhen glanced at Liang Kai, then at the crowd, and asked, âYou all want to know the answer?â
Everyone nodded eagerly.
Yang Zhen extended a hand, âOld rules!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A pile of crystal stones fell into Yang Zhenâs hand, even the one selling the question cards handed over a crystal stone.
Yang Zhen carefully collected the crystal stones, âYou all are too rigid in your thinking. You need to get out more, or youâll become fools. This question just asks how you can drink the water, it doesnât ask how to get the water out. Isnât jumping in the well the easiest solution?â
This⦠Yang Zhen, can we still get out if we jump in?â
Youâre at the Golden Core Stage, and you canât even climb out of a well? What are you even alive for?â
âBut, I canât swim.â
The crowd was utterly astonished at Yang Zhen, looking at him with reverence.
The question card seller slapped his forehead, âRight! It only asked how to drink the water, not how to get it out. But who would have thought about jumping in?â
From outside the crowd, the elder sister approached, a tranquil, soft smile on her face. Her steps were graceful, giving off an aura of a well-bred lady. However, when she heard Yang Zhenâs words, her mouth opened slightly, and her eyes twitched in surprise.
Little Huan, excitedly carrying a knife bigger than herself, hopped up and down trying to see, âBig sister, did Young Master Yang answer the question correctly?â
The elder sister nodded awkwardly, âItâs exactly as the master said.â
âYoung Master Yang has already answered quite a few questions correctly. Maybe I should introduce him to you. Perhaps master would like him.â
Carrying the massive knife, Little Huan began to walk into the crowd.
The elder sister shook her head, âLetâs go together!â
Little Huan paused, nodding in agreement.
At this time, Yang Zhenâs voice came again, âIn order to improve our national quality and ensure that everyoneâsâ¦talents keep growing, Iâve decided to fully entrust Brother Seller. By the way, whatâs your name?â
âIâm Qian Lai!â
Great name! Yang Zhen clapped Qian Lai on the shoulder, continuing, âFor these questions, Iâll have them all printed and compiled into the âFive-year Exam, Three-year Rehearsalâ package. For only 998, you can bring it home. From now on, thereâll be no more incomprehensible cultivation methods, or ladies out of reach. Talents will continue to grow, everyone will become very knowledgeable!â
What?â Liang Kai exclaimed, âAll these questions will be included in the âFive-year Exam, Three-year Rehearsalâ package?â
âOf course, and there will be more and more, and the questions will become richer. I ask you, why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west? Why doesnât an object suspended in mid-air fly up to the sky, but instead fall down to the ground? When weâre at sea, why do we first see the mast of a ship instead of the whole ship?â
This⦠this⦠thisâ¦â The crowd turned pale!
âWill these questions be included, too?â
Yang Zhen nodded, âOf course, but these are advanced versions, so theyâre slightly more expensive!â
âPrice is not the issue; Iâve never thought about these questions. Now that I do, itâs making me feel dizzy. I feel like I am on the verge of an epiphany, and once the mysteries are solved, perhaps it will lead me to a breakthrough.â
âHmm, exactly what this young man said, I feel the same way!â
Qian Lai was almost going crazy. A single card was being sold for 998! The idea was unthinkable, and there was even a more advanced version.
He was going to be rich, he was going to be rich!
The elder sister murmured to herself, a glint in her eyes, âYes, why do we see the mast of a ship first and not the ship itself when we are at sea?â
A trace of melancholy flashed in Yang Zhenâs eyes, giving him the noble aura of an unparalleled expert high above the mortal world. âAh! So weak! Is there anyone in this world who could be my match?â he lamented..
