  ——————————

  With one word, the people around immediately fell silent. The clever ones burst out laughing, and the not-so-clever ones followed suit, completely turning the scene upside down.

  Chen Zhuo was indeed a clever person, his mouth curled up, with a cold and gloomy smile, his eyes gleaming with a hint of chill.

  Jiang You stood beside Chen Zhuo, slightly furrowing his brow, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes as he gazed at the smug Chen Zhuo. His lips moved, but he didn't speak up.

  "Since Wei Zhao always catches people off guard, if he's the one who proposed this game rule...” As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and his whole body turned cold.

  Fu Yan furrowed his brow, looking around at the crowd with a suspicious expression. He leaned down and whispered to Xiangxiang, who scrunched up her face and nodded heavily, her small face set in determination.

  With a burst of foul air released from his mouth, he suddenly felt refreshed and looked at Wei Zuo with a cold smile, saying lightly: "How come, young master Wei, don't you remember or is it that you can't remember too much?"

  Wei Zhuo's remaining light swept around the surrounding crowd, a faint glint in his eyes that was hard to detect. Amidst the crowd's unanimous snickering, he calmly and unhurriedly said: "I concede."

  Ah!

  Huh?

  Ah!

  Quiet!

  The originally bustling crowd suddenly fell silent, mouths agape in shock, staring at each other, no one understanding what had just happened.

  Chen Zhuo's hand was too slow, and his triumphant sneer froze on his face. Three games to two wins, now the previous game seemed to be a draw on the surface, but everyone would think that Wei Xiao had lost in their hearts. Now if he admitted defeat again, then he actually already lost!

  After being teased earlier, no one dared to jump out recklessly at this time, and the scene was eerily quiet for a while.

  He originally looked down on him with his head held high, fanning himself lightly, pretending to be a refined gentleman. As soon as Wei Zuo finished speaking, he stumbled and almost fell over. His face was stiff, and his eyes stared fixedly at the side of Wei Zuo's face, as if trying to see what trick Wei Zuo was playing from his expression. But he was disappointed, only now did he suddenly realize that Wei Zuo's expression had been calm and collected all along, from start to finish, never changing.

  As he looked at it seriously, Lian Bu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He glanced at Chen Zhuo with a slight frown and thought of Feng Youli again, his eyes becoming increasingly unpredictable.

  "Now it's my turn to ask." Wei Zhao said with his eyes slightly closed, flipping the beads in his hand.

  As soon as Wei Xiao's voice fell, the entire scene fell silent once again.

  Knock knock

  The sound of swallowing saliva.

  "Chirp chirp"

  A throat-clearing sound.

  Splish-splash

  The sound of eyelids opening and closing.

  Chen Zhuo suddenly felt his heart beating violently, looking at Wei Zhao's calm expression, and remembering his words "all paid in laughter", his body involuntarily swayed.

  Jiang You's breathing became heavy, his eyebrows furrowed. He suddenly realized that Wei Zao actually made him feel pressured. This was unprecedented, even the gloomy and terrifying Chen family's young master had never made Jiang You feel this way.

  He was taken aback for a moment, then folded his fan and shook it again, with an air of nonchalance, smiling and saying "Brother Wei, please." No matter what, he would rather believe that Wei Zhao was an imposter!

  Wei Zhuo nodded slightly and said: "Please, Brother Wei, recite the names of people you've read about in books."

  His mouth twitched violently, a flash of anger and regret in his eyes, another surge of suppressed rage filling his chest, his face flushing red.

  This is completely sarcastic and straightforward ridicule, direct teasing, **naked insult!

  Chen Zhuo felt a surge of heat in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His eyes turned red, his face muscles bulged, and he forced himself to swallow the fresh blood back down. Lian Cong was someone their Chen family had raised, someone he had brought up, so when Wei Zhao humiliated Lian Cong, in reality he was also humiliating him!

  He can't faint here, he's the second son of the Chen family, he's a dragon among men, he's a business genius, he'll be the future master of the Chen family, he can't faint, no!

  Chen Zhuo's fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was dark purple, and his whole body was trembling as he stood there.

  Jiang You's mouth was dry and his tongue felt parched, he gazed at Wei Qiao with a complex expression, furrowing his brow, looking at Chen Zhuo's swaying body, let out a sigh, unsure whether to go help or not.

  The eyes of the people around focused on Lian Yu, some worried, some urgent, and others cast angry glances at Wei Zhao.

  Wei Zhuo ignored everything, gazing at Lian Bu with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

  His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, his eyes fixed intently on Wei Zhao, his chest heaving violently. He couldn't not answer this question, but he couldn't come up with an answer! He couldn't admit defeat, but apart from admitting defeat, he had no other choice!

  He was indignant, he was angry, he was furious! He was proficient in chess, piano, books and paintings, and he knew everything about history, classics and collections! But this question, he had no way to answer!

  He was self-conceited and thought himself extremely intelligent, last time he failed the exam he also had sufficient reasons. However, now, he must face Wei Zhao alone, must answer this question that fundamentally cannot be answered!

  The people around also retracted their killer gaze, quietly watching Lian Yue. They knew that this question couldn't be answered, and if they really tried to answer it, they would only end up making a joke out of themselves. But Lian Yue couldn't admit defeat either. If he admitted defeat, it would be a huge blow to his proud self. And there was another problem - if Wei Zhao played some tricks, Lian Yue might lose again and lose his mind!

  Three questions, all admitted defeat! If so, then in this game, actually, Lian Yu who had always thought he was one level higher than Wei Zhao has already lost!

  On the surface, he lost in his heart. Not only did he lose in his heart, but also Wei Zhao, Chen Zhuo, and the onlookers, even the entire Jinling!

  Her eyes flashed violently, and she unconsciously recalled the names of people in the book, but immediately cut them off abruptly. Her mind turned a thousand times, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

  Wei Zhao was neither arrogant nor impatient, with a pearl rotating in his hand and muttering to himself.

  Almost no one noticed that in the crowd of onlookers, from time to time someone would quickly leave and soon come back, then another would leave, and so on, without stopping for a moment.

  Wei Zhuo was calm and composed, but Lian Yue's impulsive temper made him restless, his face flushed with anger, his heart burning with hatred.

  "Admit defeat? Say the name?" Between these two, Lian Bu had wandered back and forth countless times. But admitting defeat would be a huge blow to his confidence and pride, he couldn't! However, saying the name was even more humiliating than admitting defeat!

  From a distance, on the upper floor of a pavilion, people with some power can know what happened in the crowd.

  "Miss, he's really bad, but I don't like that one with the connected sleeves either." The little maid in green beside Yinyin said, pouting her small mouth. Apparently still remembering the time she was scared by Wei Xiao at the temple.

  Yin listened with a smile, thinking of Fu Yang's mention of the person in the tea house. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said softly, "There are people who even without wings will soar to great heights."

  "Haha, Amitabha Buddha, well done, well done."

  "Haha, interesting! Interesting!"

  "Hmph, as expected, you're reckless and don't know what's good for you!"

  "Rather clever."

  "What do you think of him?"

  "With heart in the mountains and rivers, with chest full of a thousand gorges."

  Different sounds come from different attics.

  Fu Yan scratched his head, he thought for half a day and still couldn't understand what was wrong with the teacher's words, which made everyone quiet down, not even allowing Lian Yu to say a word.

  The little girl didn't care about that, her big eyes kept turning around in all directions, she wanted to remember the expression of every person, haha, it was so interesting, when she got back, she would definitely talk about it for a whole day and night!

  Wei Zhao raised his head and looked at the sky, then glanced at Shen's changing expression, with a hesitant look on his face, he didn't say a word and closed his mouth again.

  However, it's often the unseen knife that kills the most painfully, with a sudden flush of red to the face, like a burning fire.
