Ma Xiaoshuai clicked his tongue in wonder. He thought to himself that this uncultured person really killed him. A challenge letter with dozens of words actually had six typos in Martian language. Fortunately, the things she wanted to express were relatively simple, and he could roughly understand what she meant. Otherwise, he really didn't know what she wanted to do.
"Qianyue, what's wrong with you? Challenge, fight your big watermelon, fight!"
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at the violent woman in front of him angrily and teased her. He didn't have a good attitude towards this beautiful girl. The first time they met, she was kicked all over the place. One could imagine how bad Qianyue's character was. It was expected that her first impression would be terrible.
Unexpectedly, these words completely angered Qianyue, who had been deliberately suppressing herself.
"Damn turtle, you're courting death!"
Under the surprised gazes of the surrounding passersby, Qian Yue, who was dressed in fiery red clothes, jumped like a crazy rabbit. The long whip in her hand was pulling loudly, and it was obvious that she was on the verge of going berserk.
"What do you want?"
Ma Xiaoshuai shrugged his shoulders and looked at the surrounding passers-by who were talking about it. He secretly said," You're embarrassing yourself. If you don't want face, I want face."
When Qianyue heard this, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, who was in a daze, with a cold gaze.
"Accept my challenge!"
"Accept? Why not?"
Ma Xiaoshuai blurted out in a moment of excitement. He didn't expect this sentence to be defined as a forthright performance by the surrounding passers-by. The crowd immediately erupted into a burst of enthusiastic cheers and praises.
"Young Master is so manly!"
"Young Master is a true man!”
" Young Master, rape her anus!!"
“……”
Ma Xiao Shuai broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself," The people of Murong City are so bored that it's pathetic. You guys are really bored. A man is fighting with a woman, and you guys are still so happy. Is there no such thing as a good man not fighting with a woman in this world? A man knocking out a woman should be praised?" Or were these guys just here to watch the show? Bad atmosphere!
"Good! The venue is here. I'll let all the villagers present be witnesses today…"
"Wait, wait, wait."
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Qianyue, who was acting like she was a circus clown, and said helplessly,""I say, are you a busker or a competition? If you want to compete, hurry up."
"Ahem…okay."
Qianyue coughed in an old-fashioned manner. She put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth.
"I've thought it through for you. You're just a sick shell…"
"You're just a fool, a disgrace!”
Ma Xiaoshuai grumpily muttered to himself, gritting his teeth in hatred towards Qianyue.
"That's why I won't compete with you today. I'll compete with you in literature.”
Qianyue proudly raised her head, looking provocative.
Ma Xiaoshuai was puzzled, thinking that Qianyue couldn't even write a lousy challenge letter and was still competing in literature? Although he had been a poor scholar before marrying Dongfang Xueyu, he had read a lot since he was young and had a bit of knowledge. Did Qianyue not know that? It was really strange.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
Qian Yue revealed a crafty smile like a little fox as she spoke.
"There are three rounds in the competition. Best of three."
"How?"
"Hmph!"
Qianyue snorted coldly, causing the people around her to cheer again. This made Qianyue even more proud. After expressing her gratitude, she continued,"Don't worry, as the eldest daughter of the Defender Marshal Qian family, I don't want to compete with you. For the sake of fairness, I've found a few customers in the residence to compete with you.”
Ma Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth as he looked at the proud Qianyue, using his mind to strip this damned girl naked and tie her up dozens of times. He thought to himself,'No wonder you're competing in literature. You came prepared. Despicable, really despicable.'
"What's wrong? Don't dare? Everyone looked at him. This guy didn't dare to do it anymore. Haha.”
Qian Yue, unwilling to be left out, incited the surrounding passersby, which was instantly met with boos.
"Husband!"
Dongfang Xueyu, who had been silent for a long time, tugged at Ma Xiaoshuai's arm and shook her head with a frown. She might not care about Ma Xiaoshuai's cowardice, but she did not want to see her husband, whom she had entrusted to her, become enemies with her best friend. The conflict between them would only get worse.
"I'm fine."
Ma Xiaoshuai patted Dongfang Xue's soft hand comfortingly. He couldn't lose face in front of his wife. No one was sure if he would lose, but he had to establish a brave and imposing image.
"Qianyue."
Dongfang Xueyu saw that she couldn't persuade Ma Xiaoshuai, so she turned to look at Qianyue pleadingly. However, after being completely ignored by a certain someone, she could only lower her head helplessly.
"I'll compete. Let's begin.”
"Ha, sure."
Qianyue's evil plan succeeded and she laughed loudly. She turned around and said,""Big Beard, come out."
An old man walked out of the crowd. He had white eyebrows, a beard, and a benevolent expression. His eyes were slightly open, and his steps were even more vigorous. At first glance, he really did have the demeanor of an expert.
Qianyue smiled in satisfaction." The first round is a competition of knowledge. Big Beard will ask you three questions, and you will answer them. Then, you will ask Big Beard three more questions. If you answer correctly, you will get one point. If you answer wrongly, you will get no points.”
"Alright."
Ma Xiao Shuai stepped forward and said loudly,""Let's begin. Who's first?"
The old man stroked his snow-white beard and said confidently,"Young Master, please."
Ma Xiaoshuai was too lazy to refuse him and immediately started.
"He said that Xiao Ming had a pig and a donkey in his house. One day, a guest came to his house and he wanted to serve fresh meat to the guest. He asked if he wanted to kill the pig or the donkey first.”
The old man obviously didn't expect Ma Xiaoshuai to ask such a question. He looked at Qianyue, who was also in a daze, and complained to himself. It was all because he didn't specify the scope of the question. Now, he could only bite the bullet.
"Kill…this, kill, kill…"
"Kill the donkey!"
Qianyue, who was secretly anxious, probably couldn't stand the atmosphere and blurted out.
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled with satisfaction,"Yes, the pig said so too."”
The surrounding passersby, including Qianyue and the old man, were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Hahahaha, this young master is too humorous.”
"Haha…"
Qianyue lowered her head with a flushed face, gritting her teeth in hatred. She was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in. At this moment, she caught sight of Dongfang Xueyu, who was her best friend, laughing heartlessly. She immediately threw a murderous look at Dongfang Xueyu, who immediately restrained herself.
"You win this round."
The old man shook his head and sighed.”
Ma Xiaoshuai sneered, thinking that this old man was not stupid.
"The second question, say that Little Ming has two brothers. The eldest brother is called Da Mao, and the second brother is called Er Mao.”
"Naturally, it's called San Mao."
The old man stroked his beard and looked unfathomable.
"Little Ming is naturally called Little Ming, why San Mao?”Ma Xiaoshuai sneered.
"Hahahaha!"
The passers-by burst into laughter again. Dongfang Xueyu covered her mouth and chuckled, while Qianyue glared at the embarrassed old man with a face full of anger.
"He…he's coming!"
The old man seemed to be wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. It was unknown whether he was anxious or embarrassed.
However, Ma Xiaoshuai still looked like he was neither dead nor alive." The third question, about Xiaoming's family..."
"Little Ming again? Who is this Little Ming?”
The old man cried out miserably. He was obviously scared by this mysterious Little Ming.
Ma Xiaoshuai pouted and continued,""Tell me, why doesn't Little Ming's dog get lice?”
"Because puppies love cleanliness!"
"Wrong. Of course, a puppy will give birth to a puppy. How can it give birth to lice?”
"Haha, haha…"
"You…"
The old man's face turned red as he laughed. He pointed at Ma Xiaoshuai and trembled. He was obviously very angry.
"What about me? It's your turn. Oh right, I have to explain. Currently, I have three points and you have zero points. You only have one question. If I don't answer correctly, you still have a chance.”
Ma Xiaoshuai crossed his arms and looked down at the trembling old man, acting like a winner.
On this side, Qianyue was anxious. She tiptoed to the old man's side and whispered mysteriously into his ear.
Ma Xiaoshuai snorted coldly and turned his head away. He gave Dongfang Xueyu, who was secretly laughing, a smug look.
"Alright, this old man will set the questions."
Qian Yue quickly retreated to the side. The old man touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said,""Follow me."
As he spoke, the old man stared at the ground as if he was looking for something. After a long time, his eyes lit up. He took out a half-burnt piece of charcoal from the broken basket at the side. He knelt on the ground and drew nine squares neatly. No one knew what he was doing, but the old man did not stop and continued to write and draw.
Ma Xiaoshuai was confused at first, but when he saw it clearly, he understood.
"Alright."
The old man stood up and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He said to Ma Xiaoshuai," What you see now are nine blank boxes. My question is in these nine boxes. The requirement is to fill in all nine numbers from one to nine, but the requirement is that the sum of the numbers must be equal to fifteen... Start, I'll give you an hour."”
"What kind of question is this?”
"That's right, that's right. Isn't this too difficult?”
"This old man did it on purpose. It's impossible to solve it."
The crowd once again began to discuss. It seemed that most of them expressed doubts about this question and dissatisfaction with the question maker. Perhaps in their eyes, this question was unsolvable or difficult to solve.
Ma Xiaoshuai didn't care about how the others reacted. He was full of confidence. The old man didn't even think for a second. He took the charcoal from the old man's hand, bent down, and swiped it a few times.
"Alright."
"You…"
The old man looked at the nine squares on the ground in shock." You…How did you…How did you do it?”
"Huh? How funny."
Ma Xiaoshuai looked disdainful. If he, a 21st world university student, didn't know the Nine Palace Boxes that he had learned in two primary schools, then he would rather die.
"This is nothing. It's too simple."
When the passers-by saw the answer, they squeezed to the center angrily and craned their necks to look.
"Two…nine…four…"
"Seven…five…three…"
"Six…one…eight…"
"Aiya, that's really the case.”
"Yes, yes, this young master is really amazing. He can even solve this.”
Dongfang Xueyu smiled as she looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, who was glaring at Qianyue. She felt very pleased and a sense of pride welled up in her heart. She thought to herself that he actually knew about such strange things. He was really amazing.
Being proud was one thing, being smug was another.
Ma Xiaoshuai finally didn't forget that they were in a competition, so after staring at the furious and speechless Qianyue for a few minutes, he threw a strong look of disdain again and turned to look at the old man who still couldn't believe it.
"How is it?"
"Hey!"
The old man looked at the Nine Palace Box on the ground for a long time before shaking his head in frustration.”
The crowd burst into applause as they congratulated Ma Xiaoshuai. Ma Xiaoshuai cupped his hands in a humble manner. However, from time to time, he would look at the angry Qianyue with a smug look. Qianyue was already uncomfortable after losing a round. After being provoked by Ma Xiaoshuai several times, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Damn turtle, don't be so smug. There are still two more rounds!”
