The question was very long. Yun Ruoxi frowned and pondered after listening to it. Yun Huaiyi had a whole new level of respect for Ye Qiannan. He thought that the man would not say anything cold and thought that he was not very good at riddles. He didn't expect the question to be so difficult. He only hoped that his sister and the Crown Prince could answer it. However, looking at the two of them thinking hard, it was a little uncertain…and Feng Qi, after testing, he was 80% sure that this person knew medicine, so he could not ask questions about medicinal herbs.
"Sister, have you thought of the answer?”Yun Huaiyi asked.
" No…" Although Yun Ruoxi did not want to admit it, she shook her head helplessly, indicating that she did not know the answer.
"We admit defeat and tell us the answer.”Huangpu Chengde couldn't think of a reason and could only admit defeat.
"It's lotus roots." Ye Qiannan answered expressionlessly while Feng Qi gave Ye Qiannan an appreciative look.
For a woman who lived deep in her boudoir and the Crown Prince who held a high position, she had definitely eaten lotus roots many times, but the chance to see the appearance of lotus roots before they were made into vegetables was definitely very few. Ye Qiannan had chosen a coincidence this time.
"Lotus? Why is there silk in the lotus root?" Yun Ruoxi asked.
" A lotus does die when it's born. Isn't there a saying that the lotus root is cut off and the silk is connected?" Feng Qi explained. These people who lived in noble families didn't even have this common sense. Even if they had never seen a raw lotus root, they should have heard of the idiom of the lotus root being cut off and the silk is connected...
"..." Yun Ruoxi only remembered after Feng Qi had finished speaking. Her face was a little red. Wasn't the term 'broken lotus root' used to describe the feelings between a man and a woman? How could she say such words in public? Was she not ashamed?
"Please give me the second question." Gongsun Wei said. It was a wonderful night to hear so many interesting and novel lantern riddles! He was curious about what other interesting questions these two groups would come up with…
"Our second question is, the name of the caller must be Yan Yan.”Yun Ruoxi didn't believe that the other person could answer this question. Although she had given her surname, it wasn't an ordinary single-word surname, but a compound surname.
"It's Huyan, right?" Feng Qi intentionally glanced at Yun Ruoxi before answering. Feng Qi knew that Yun Ruoxi was being petty, but it didn't matter. She had guessed it anyway.
"Yes." However, Yun Ruoxi wasn't as magnanimous as Feng Qi. Her face was even redder than before, partly because of Feng Qi's angry gaze and partly because of the embarrassment she felt when Feng Qi saw through her little trick.
"Next, it's our turn. Our topic is, hang a lantern riddle on the wall and write the name of an animal. Isn't it very fitting?" Feng Qi said.
"It's a gecko." Huangpu Chengde replied.
"Congratulations on getting it right. You guys are next." Feng Qi wasn't nervous at all when the other party answered the question correctly because she still had a trump card. She wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to win.
"Our topic is, Red Lady, Climbing a Tall Building, Heartache, Tears Flowing. Buy some daily necessities." Huangpu Chengde said.
This last question was the key to victory. If Feng Qi and the others didn't answer correctly, then as long as he answered their last question correctly, they would be able to draw. Because there was only one prize for the first place, it was either a tiebreaker or two people splitting the prize…
"It's a candle."
Feng Qi's answer made Huangpu Chengde lose his last bit. It seemed that he could only snatch it after the match.
"Do I still need to continue setting questions?" Because the final winner had been confirmed to be Feng Qi's group, Feng Qi felt that it was meaningless to continue setting the questions. However, she still asked Gong Sun Wei politely.
"Although the first place candidate has been confirmed, this old man still wants to hear what your topic is.”Gongsun Wei said.
"Sure. My last question is, what kind of cloth can't be cut?”This question was a brain teaser. Even a modern primary school student could answer it. However, for these old friends, it was a very difficult question.
"What's the answer?" Gong Sun Wei couldn't think of anything that couldn't be cut, so he asked curiously.
"Waterfall."
"Waterfall? Hahaha…Interesting, wonderful, wonderful!”Gong Sun Wei was full of praise. He didn't know what was in this young man's mind to make him so interesting.
When the three of them heard the answer, they also admitted defeat, but it could not offset their determination to obtain the pill. Ye Qiannan was looking at Feng Qi with a smile that could topple cities.
Gongsun Wei handed the prizes for the first and second place to Feng Qi and Huangpu Chengde respectively. Feng Qi happily accepted the heavy box, while Huangpu Chengde didn't feel anything for the box of gold. He only gave Yun Huaiyi a look, telling him to keep it first, and then left with the three of them without looking back.
Feng Qi said goodbye to Gong Sun Wei and left with Ye Qiannan, carrying the chest full of gold." This chest is really heavy…" Feng Qi carried the heavy chest. Although she complained, she was very happy in her heart.
"Feng 'er, let me take it for a while.”Ye Qiannan said considerately.
"Sure," How could he waste free labor like this? Ye Qiannan took the box from Feng Qi's hands…
After the lantern riddle competition ended, it was already late at night. The number of people had also begun to decrease. Only the river lanterns were still swaying in the water. The colorful river lanterns, under the illumination of the candlelight, made the river surface colorful and beautiful.
The two of them strolled back along the river…Feng Qi was in a good mood, but there were always a few people in the world who couldn't bear to see others happy and insisted on making trouble. Right now, Feng Qi and Ye Qiannan were faced with a group of masked men in black who didn't know what was good for them. These men in black quickly formed a circle and surrounded Feng Qi and Ye Qiannan.
"Leave the box behind!" One of the men in black shouted, pointing his gleaming knife at Ye Qiannan, who was holding the box.
"Who are you? Why should we hand over the box?" Feng Qi's good mood was ruined and she said unhappily.
"You don't deserve to know who we are. Hand over the box and we can spare your lives.”
"What a joke! " This is mine. If you want it, you have to ask for my permission. Do you have the life to take it…" Feng Qi looked at the huge crowd in front of her with disdain.
"If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Brothers, attack!”The man in black gave the order, and the encirclement quickly retreated to the center.
"Qian Nan, leave these people to me. You just have to protect yourself and my gold.”Feng Qi and Ye Qiannan reported to play and quickly started fighting with the enemy.
I didn't expect these people's martial arts to be so good. I'll need to put in some effort. Feng Qi's attacks were fast, accurate, and ruthless. In the blink of an eye, she had already taken care of three or four people. Ye Qiannan was worried that Feng Qi might be at a disadvantage, but he didn't have to worry about keeping a low profile. However, his eyes never left Feng Qi. He would only kick the enemy away when he saw a sneak attack from the corner of his eye. He only had the freedom of his feet now. He had to protect Feng 'er's gold with his hands.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, all the men in black fell to the ground and could not move. Feng Qi grabbed the leader of the men in black and asked fiercely,""If you don't want to die, tell me who's behind this!”
" I…will never tell…you…even if I die…" As the man in black spoke, black blood flowed out of his mouth.
When Feng Qi saw the black blood flowing out of the man's mouth, she knew that he wanted to commit suicide. Feng Qi wanted to kill him, but it was too late. The man's head tilted and he died. Feng Qi saw that the person in her hand had committed suicide by taking poison and wanted to ask others, but the heavens did not allow it.
"They're all dead." After Ye Qiannan discovered that the leader had swallowed the poison, he immediately went to check on the men in black who had taken his place. In the end, he discovered that none of them were spared. They had all committed suicide by taking the poison, leaving no one alive." It seems that these people are death warriors." What exactly was in this box that made so many people covet it?”
"Isn't it just a chest of gold…what else can there be?”Feng Qi still hadn't remembered that the prize for the first place was a precious pill in addition to gold.
"Feng 'er, you don't think that there's only gold in this chest, do you? " That Gong Sun Wei said very clearly that there's a pill in the prize…" Ye Qiannan said.
"Is that so? " Maybe I didn't hear it…" Feng Qi rubbed her nose in embarrassment, feeling sorry for her carelessness.
"..." Ye Qiannan was speechless as he looked up at the sky. Feng Qi did not listen to the pill at all. He was only thinking about the gold. What a little money-grubber. However, he was so muddle-headed that it was very cute.
"Let's not stay here for long. Let's go back to the clinic first.”Feng Qi didn't want to encounter a few more batches of assassins like this, so she wouldn't have to sleep today.
"Alright." Ye Qiannan agreed with Feng Qi's decision and thought that it was better to return to the clinic first.
Feng Qi and Ye Qiannan used their lightness skills and disappeared like ghosts, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
However, after Feng Qi and Ye Qiannan left, two more groups of people appeared at the crime scene. Su Hanyan and Gu Mi Feng appeared in the first group. Su Hanyan had been following behind Ye Qiannan and the others. She even participated in the lantern riddle competition. Unfortunately, they didn't make it to the end. They thought that they had chosen the fourth path and met Huangpu, Chengde, and the others. They had passed the first two rounds without any problems, but they lost to Yun Ruoxi by half a second in the third round and did not get the right to answer.
Although Su Hanyan didn't make it to the final round, she left the competition venue after being eliminated. When she heard that the two people who entered the finals with the third route were her master and the annoying Feng Qi, she was shocked. Hence, he pulled Gu Mifeng along and waited for the two of them to come out. However, after waiting for a long time, they didn't see anyone. They were told that they had already left from another intersection with their prizes. Only then did he hurriedly chase after the two of them along the road back. Finally, he vaguely saw their figures at a place far away from Ye Qiannan and Feng Qi. However, he soon discovered a group of men in black blocking their path.
Su Hanyan was anxious and wanted to rush over to help her master. However, she realized that Feng Qi was the one dealing with the men in black, so she had her own selfish motives. It would be best if those men in black could injure Feng Qi a little. In that moment of hesitation, Feng Qi had already dealt with the men in black and Ye Qiannan and left together. When the two of them arrived at the scene, there was only a corpse that had no body temperature left…
Gu Mifeng had been following Su Hanyan. At first, he thought that Su Hanyan really wanted him to go shopping with her, but he gradually realized that it wasn't the case. He was just thinking too much. Su Hanyan only had eyes for her master from the beginning to the end. There was no place for him at all.
Gu Mi Feng looked at Su Hanyan's back with deep affection and laughed bitterly. It was best for him not to think about these impossible things. Now that he was able to work with Hanyan in 'Pan's Gate', it was already very good that they could meet a few times a day. He had to be content…
