“How could anyone have such a strange name?” The elder sister glared and kicked the doorframe.
Little Huan chuckled, “I only listened for a while, then quickly ran back here. That Yang Baba said he’s a top scholar in their hometown, so everyone calls him Yang Baba.”
Upon hearing this, the elder sister was stunned, then broke out in hearty laughter, unconcerned about maintaining a ladylike demeanor, she said, “He’s indeed an interesting character, but I’m afraid he may have fooled all those scholars.”
Following the elder sister, Little Huan shook her head, her eyes sparkling, “No, those scholars actually admired Young Master Yang a lot, Young Master Liang even said he wanted to get acquainted with him. It’s a pity I didn’t stick around to see if they became friends.”
The elder sister scoffed, “That dunce, Liang Kai, although he’s not the dumbest person in Xiushan City, if he were to go up the main street and proclaim, ‘I’m so stupid,’ no one would dare challenge him!”
Little Huan burst into laughter, but before she could respond, she suddenly heard a wailing from not too far in front of them, “Heavens! I am so stupid!” 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 sister’s eyes gleamed with interest, and she said, “Little Huan, help me tidy up my clothes!”
Little Huan pouted, “I really don’t 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.”
The elder sister glared at Little Huan, “What does a little kid like you know? Men don’t like wild women, but they cannot resist well-bred ladies. Do you want your elder sister to never get married?”
Little Huan stuck out her tongue, “I wouldn’t dare!”
Se??ch ?ew?o?e? /o?g o? ?oo?l?
“Alright, then come with me!” the elder sister begrudgingly said, “Do you think I like pretending to be like this? I just don’t want to get scolded by our master!” “Hehe, I knew it!”
As they walked along, from afar they saw a young man standing out in the crowd, pointing at Liang Kai and shouting at him.
“When I say you’re stupid, you refuse to accept it, so let me ask you another question!”
Yang Zhen casually pulled out a question card from the stack, threw it to Liang Kai, and said, “Read!”
“The well is very deep, how can ordinary people drink the water inside without using any tools?”
“How… how could we possibly drink it?”
I know! Do we fill the well with large stones so the water rises?”
“Aren’t large stones considered tools?”
“Um, we could wait for the water to rise?”
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, “You tell us!”
Liang Kai was stunned for a moment, somewhat embarrassed to see everyone’s expectant gazes.
“Go on, don’t be shy. Learning is about asking and answering. If you don’t ask, how can you learn? If you don’t learn, how can you ask?” Yang Zhen advised earnestly.
Liang Kai immediately nodded, saying, “Brother Yang, I have a martial skill known as Dragon Claw Hand, it’s a heaven-level…”
Slap!
Yang Zhen smacked Liang Kai on the head, “Heaven-level, heaven-level, does an ordinary person know what that is? Tell me, how would a mortal do it?” “This…” Liang Kai was at a loss.
“That’s right, can you teach me this Dragon Claw Hand?” Yang Zhen asked Liang Kai, scrutinizing him.
Liang Kai hurriedly agreed, saying, “That won’t 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.”
“No need to deliver, just repeat it to me once, and I’ll remember.”
Brother Yang, it’s no wonder you’re a memory genius and top scholar of the
Dirty Detachment Gang, but about this question…”
Yang Zhen glanced at Liang Kai, then at the crowd, and asked, “You all want to know the answer?”
Everyone nodded eagerly.
Yang Zhen extended a hand, “Old rules!”
A pile of crystal stones fell into Yang Zhen’s hand, even the one selling the question cards handed over a crystal stone.
Yang Zhen carefully collected the crystal stones, “You all are too rigid in your thinking. You need to get out more, or you’ll become fools. This question just asks how you can drink the water, it doesn’t ask how to get the water out. Isn’t jumping in the well the easiest solution?”
This… Yang Zhen, can we still get out if we jump in?”
You’re at the Golden Core Stage, and you can’t even climb out of a well? What are you even alive for?”
“But, I can’t swim.”
The crowd was utterly astonished at Yang Zhen, looking at him with reverence.
The question card seller slapped his forehead, “Right! It only asked how to drink the water, not how to get it out. But who would have thought about jumping in?”
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 Zhen’s 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, “Big sister, did Young Master Yang answer the question correctly?”
The elder sister nodded awkwardly, “It’s exactly as the master said.”
“Young Master Yang has already answered quite a few questions correctly. Maybe I should introduce him to you. Perhaps master would like him.”
Carrying the massive knife, Little Huan began to walk into the crowd.
The elder sister shook her head, “Let’s go together!”
Little Huan paused, nodding in agreement.
At this time, Yang Zhen’s voice came again, “In order to improve our national quality and ensure that everyone’s…talents keep growing, I’ve decided to fully entrust Brother Seller. By the way, what’s your name?”
“I’m Qian Lai!”
Great name! Yang Zhen clapped Qian Lai on the shoulder, continuing, “For these questions, I’ll have them all printed and compiled into the ‘Five-year Exam, Three-year Rehearsal’ package. For only 998, you can bring it home. From now on, there’ll be no more incomprehensible cultivation methods, or ladies out of reach. Talents will continue to grow, everyone will become very knowledgeable!”
What?” Liang Kai exclaimed, “All these questions will be included in the ‘Five-year Exam, Three-year Rehearsal’ package?”
“Of 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 doesn’t an object suspended in mid-air fly up to the sky, but instead fall down to the ground? When we’re at sea, why do we first see the mast of a ship instead of the whole ship?”
This… this… this…” The crowd turned pale!
“Will these questions be included, too?”
Yang Zhen nodded, “Of course, but these are advanced versions, so they’re slightly more expensive!”
“Price is not the issue; I’ve never thought about these questions. Now that I do, it’s 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.”
“Hmm, exactly what this young man said, I feel the same way!”
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, “Yes, why do we see the mast of a ship first and not the ship itself when we are at sea?”
A trace of melancholy flashed in Yang Zhen’s eyes, giving him the noble aura of an unparalleled expert high above the mortal world. “Ah! So weak! Is there anyone in this world who could be my match?” he lamented..
