The sophistry of the famous scholars caused the scholarly faction to be at a loss, and they all fell under Gongsun Linglong's 'skirt.'
However, defeat was nothing. What made the scholarly faction ashamed was that Gongsun Linglong had used the allusions of the scholarly faction several times to defeat the disciples of the scholarly faction.
" All of you here have been defeated by me, and now…" Gongsun Linglong sneered.
"Teacher is wrong. There are still disciples in the scholarly faction who have yet to seek advice.”Zhang Liang went forward and sat opposite Gongsun Linglong.
" So it's the third head of the scholarly faction, Mister Zhang Fang." Gongsun Linglong pointed at Zhang Liang's Jiao. "You're really handsome and talented!”
" You're too kind." Zhang Liang cupped his hands." Zifang is considered a disciple with stupid aptitude in the scholarly faction.”He only humbly said.
"You and I have to show your true ability in this written examination!”She covered her face with a mask." You mustn't be merciful just because she's a beautiful and weak woman!”
"Alright." Zhang Liang whispered," Sir, please wait a moment."”He waved his hand." Ziming, you come."”
A person walked in from outside the door. His eyes were drowsy, and his hands were constantly rubbing his eyes. The clothes on his body could only be considered well-dressed. He did not have the demeanor of a scholarly disciple at all. His footsteps were messy, and he did not walk in a straight line like the others. He was like a second-rate hooligan who mingled in the streets. After taking a few steps, he seemed to realize that everyone was watching him. He immediately straightened up, and the sleepiness on his face seemed to be forcefully dispelled by him. He walked forward step by step, but no matter how he looked at it, there was a stiff discomfort.
Tianming first bowed in all directions, and then his body relaxed. Although he wasn't as lazy as before, he wasn't as formal either. To the Confucians, who paid attention to the principles of law and logic, it was just barely acceptable.
"Third Grand Master, didn't you say that I could go to sleep after I sent the refreshments? Why did you call me over again?" Tianming looked unhappy." If you don't get enough sleep, you'll get wrinkles!”
"Nong!" Zhang Liang pointed at Gongsun Linglong." This time, I found you a passable opponent. What do you think? If she survives three rounds, you owe me a favor, okay?”
Tianming only paused for a moment.”he said with a smile.
In his heart, Jing Tianming had already told him that letting him appear here was the first favor he owed. Whether he won or lost the debate with Gongsun Linglong, he would be able to get familiar with everyone here in the Small Sage Manor. This was the first favor.
The method in his brocade bag to answer the question of whether a white horse was a horse could be considered as the second favor. This way, the favor was offset, and Tianming owed Zhang Liang a favor.
"Then if 'I' defeat this…fat auntie, I'll be able to defeat her. Then Third Grand Master, you owe me a favor!”Tianming said childishly.
"Good! Good!" Zhang Liang shook his head helplessly. You admit that I introduced you, but you don't plan to use the method in my brocade bag? Then…how do you plan to win? Zhang Liang thought as he returned to his seat. He unconsciously regarded Tianming as an opponent on the same level as him. He was excited. It had been a long time since he had felt this way. Last time…it was Han Fei! Although he had always been the one being suppressed.
Tianming sat opposite Gongsun Linglong. Feeling uncomfortable, he moved his fart. The thigh.
"They all say that I've studied the least and that every time I encounter a weak opponent, they send me out. Then you must be the stupidest person in your place!”Tianming laughed.
Gongsun Linglong clenched her fists. She was extremely angry, but she immediately suppressed it. No! No! This must be a provocation by this kid. He's deliberately making me angry, making me lose my rationality and underestimate the enemy. I must calm down! She thought so.
However, Tianming only wanted to compliment those scholarly disciples who hadn't appeared and put on a look of admiration. It's not because you're very strong, but because our scholarly faction only sent out the weakest people to avoid hurting everyone's harmony. Such a posture.
"This fat auntie, please come up with a question!”Tianming hugged one leg and rested his head on his knee.
Fat auntie? No! You have to endure it. Just you wait, kid. Watch how I deal with you! "Brother! Let's use 'white horse is not a horse' as the topic!”
"Oh! You mean that horse?" Tianming had a confused look on his face as he narrowed his eyes.
"Brother is wrong! It wasn't a horse, it was a white horse!”After waiting for a few breaths of time. Was he thinking of a countermeasure? Alright, I'll make you speechless! Gongsun Linglong thought about it and continued," A white horse is not a horse, and a horse is not a white horse. Therefore, a white horse is not a horse, and a white horse is not a horse!”Gongsun Linglong saw that Tianming was silent and thought that he was intimidated by her." Brother Ziming, what do you think?”
However, her question did not receive an answer. She looked at Tianming and was stunned. Tianming's eyes were already completely closed. He was not squinting at all. He was obviously sleeping!
"Brother. Brother! Brother!" As Gongsun Linglong's roars grew louder and louder, and the last one could even be called a howl, Tianming suddenly woke up with a lingering fear. "Which wolf is crying?"
" You..." Before Gongsun Linglong could say another word, Tianming interrupted her," Is it you?"”
"Humph!" Gongsun Linglong said,"Jiao." "I'm not going to argue with you! Tell me quickly, how can you prove that my Bixue is a horse?”
"I don't need to prove that a white horse isn't a horse.”Tianming stretched and shrugged.
"Roar? Could it be that brother wanted to say the same thing as the previous one?”Gongsun Linglong smiled.
Tianming cupped his face with both hands." Of course not." He smiled." From the moment you said the words 'white horse is not a horse', you had already lost.”
"Then why?" Gongsun Linglong suppressed the anger in her heart that she hadn't let out yet and still acted weak.'
" Because…" The corners of Tianming's mouth curled up into an evil smile." You're inhuman."”
"Nonsense! " Why didn't I…" His anger exploded to the extreme, but he was suppressed by her madness." How can I be human?" Of course I'm not human…"
"Are you really inhuman?" Tianming asked again.
"Yes! I'm not human." Gongsun Linglong was furious, but she couldn't argue. If she argued, she would lose.
"You are not a beauty." Tianming tried his best to hold back his laughter, but his face still seemed a little distorted.
"Brother is right! I am naturally not a beauty." Gongsun Linglong's hand that was holding the mask tightly was shaking the mask. She said. As for what he was thinking, it was not worth telling outsiders.
"Naturally, you are not a famous person." Tianming's expression instantly became calm.
"I…of course, I'm not…famous.”Gongsun Linglong breathed heavily, as if she had used up all her strength.
"Then, you lose too." A smile appeared on Tian Ming's face.
"What did you say?" Gongsun Linglong said angrily," Are you humiliating me?”
"Did I humiliate you?" Tianming looked confused." I've always been following your instructions! I've never denied the so-called 'white horse isn't a horse'. Did I humiliate you?”Tianming asked her twice.
"Then why did you say that I lost?" Gongsun Linglong once again calmed herself down, and her tone was filled with hostility. But at the same time, he was also glad that this person in front of him did not seem to be able to refute his statement that a white horse was not a horse.
" You said you're not a famous person." Tianming twisted his waist." But do you know how many people are here?”He stood up and said," Those present are the Confucians, Legalists, Yin-Yang School, and the Great Qin Empire! You, if you are not a famous scholar, then what qualifications do you have to enter the scholarly faction? What right do you have to be alone…Oh, I forgot, you're not a human. Is it consistent with my Confucian debate? What right do you have to…sit here?”
" In addition…" Tianming asked softly," Have you forgotten that you're challenging…the Confucian family?”
Every time Tianming asked a question, Gongsun Linglong's body would tremble. From the very beginning, she had already lost. From the moment she began to answer Tianming's question, she had no room to turn the tables. She could only move forward step by step, step by step into the abyss. She looked at Tianming with a hint of fear in her eyes. Was this really a child? But…even if I lose, I'll take a bite out of you!
"So you mean…that even your Scholarly Sage, Confucius, is not qualified to enter your Small Sage Manor?”Her face was filled with viciousness.
"He's already dead." Tianming spread his hands and said indifferently.
"He was still alive when he said that. Moreover, he's a Saint!”A wicked smile appeared on Gongsun Linglong's face as she used the title of 'Sage' to suppress Tianming. Although she couldn't make a comeback, she could still cause trouble for Tianming. Although 'Sage' was just a title, it was a tall mountain that the scholarly disciples had to look up to. However, her miscalculation wasn't just one step. The most important two points were that Tianming wasn't a true disciple of the scholarly faction, and he didn't have the slightest reverence for the so-called Confucius!
"Saint? Haha! Since he, as a Saint, is already dead, I'm not dead! Then am I stronger than him? Then should I be called the Sage King?”These words caused all the scholarly disciples to glare at him. After Tian Ming laughed loudly, his entire body was filled with rage! His expression was ferocious. "Saint? Since he was a Saint, why were there still people frozen to death or starved to death? Saint! Since he was a saint, was there still a difference between being born with a golden spoon in his mouth and being born in a dilapidated temple by the roadside? Saint! Since he was a Saint, why couldn't he pacify the world? Saint! Since he was a Saint, then there was still the so-called rebellion and the world was still in chaos?”Jing Tianming's voice was getting more and more excited, each more and more shocking.
Every question he asked caused the scholarly disciples to lower their heads even more. Perhaps most of them, or even all of them, were born into families that did not have to worry about food and clothing, let alone wealth. However, how many people had died in those places? It wasn't as if they hadn't heard of the rumors of a certain place becoming a city of death. The person in front of them seemed to have experienced it personally. There wasn't even a hint of hypocrisy in his words. In fact, some of the things he said made them empathize with him.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes lost focus." Sage, since…he is a Sage. Then…" He slowly lowered his head, and his gaze gradually settled on Gongsun Linglong. The loss of color in his eyes caused Gongsun Linglong to unconsciously bend down and prostrate herself in front of Jing Tianming." Why has everything I once had already passed away? Why didn't any of them stay by my side? Why am I the only one left? " Why…did they not come back to life…" Every word he shouted shocked everyone. It was as if a huge rock had been left in their hearts, crushing them until they could not bear it. They seemed to see many people behind him. They were all staring at him as if he was their backing and their faith! However, one by one, they disappeared and left as he advanced, until…he was the only one left. "Tell me! Tell me! You…tell me."
"Enough!" Li Si shouted. This kind of atmosphere was extremely disadvantageous to him, who was here to establish his might. Xing Hun's blue blade swept across the surroundings, waking up those who were affected by Jing Tianming's voice. Tianming slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm very interested in what you've experienced.”Li Si looked at Tianming and asked with interest.
"It's just a person who keeps losing things until he has nothing.”Tianming said calmly.
Suddenly, Li Si frowned. The jade pendant on Tianming's neck seemed familiar. "Can you lend me the jade pendant on your neck?”
" I'm sorry." Tianming cupped his fists." This was left behind by an elder before he left.”A hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
"Li Si, I'm sorry." There seemed to be a trace of apology in his words. Combined with what he had said just now, he naturally thought that the so-called elder was dead. "Then, let's continue." Li Si looked at Gongsun Linglong and shouted," How long are you going to lie down?”
Tianming sat opposite Gongsun Linglong again and said,""Since it was Mister Gongsun who set the questions before, then this time, I will naturally set the questions.”
"Please." Gongsun Linglong was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, she seemed even more timid.
" Then…" Tianming stood up, turned to Li Si, and suddenly knelt on one knee.
