Chapter 1045: A Man Who Must Be Watched

With the arrival of the two members of the Hero Guild, they sat in the front row on the right.

In the Xiuyun Empire, the left is respected, and the front row on the left is still empty, which makes Tang Qin very confused.

Who else has a higher prestige than the Hero Guild?

People entered one after another, and then an old man with a feather fan and a scarf came with a man, which instantly attracted the attention of Bai Chen and others.

"Xiaoyao Guild, Xiaoyaozi, Situ Zhaonan is here--"

Situ Zhaonan? !

Bai Chen looked at the man following the old man with interest, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Is this Situ Zhaonan from the Situ family in Guixue Town?

Situ Zhaonan pretended not to hear the scrutiny of Bai Chen and others. He just followed Xiaoyaozi and the old owner to exchange pleasantries for a while, and then sat down at a seat.

Then, a man wrapped in a red robe also appeared.

This person made Bai Chen particularly concerned, especially his eyes, which looked as fierce as a beast.

And he seemed to have no reputation in Xiuyun Empire, and his position was the closest to the door, just opposite Bai Chen and others.

"Everyone is here." A guard said respectfully to the old owner.

"Yes." The old owner nodded.

All here?

Tang Qin looked at the three empty seats in the front in confusion: "No one is sitting there."

Bai Chen smiled: "That should be the position that the old owner left for the Holy Domain. Whether the other party comes or not, the position must be kept."

"Oh, it seems that this Holy Domain is still very strong." Tang Qin nodded suddenly.

The old owner smiled and looked at everyone, saying: "Thank you all for giving me a favor and coming to my Lijing Villa today to participate in my daughter's son-in-law selection competition. I, Zhong Li Jing, am here, and I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all."

Zhong Li Jing?

Lijing Villa?

Could it be that Zhong Li Jing is the founder of Lijing Villa?

Doesn't that mean that this old guy has lived for tens of thousands of years...

Tsk, no wonder Lijing Villa is called the "Taishan" of Xiuyun Empire.

Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, Bai Chen's smile became even stronger.

Compared with Fengyan Dynasty, Xiuyun Empire is stronger. It is very suitable for him to continue to become stronger. There are opponents and fighting spirit.

"My daughter Luo Cheng's marriage has always been a major event in Lijing Villa. Today's competition topic is also in accordance with my daughter's wishes. Let her decide it herself. Next, let my daughter give everyone here a question."

After the words fell, several maids wearing sky blue shorts came from both sides. They came to the front of the hall and pulled open a pair of brocade couplets together. The two lines of words clearly visible on it made everyone stunned.

When the sun sets and the fragrance fades, let go of the worldly thoughts.

When the fire in the stove is extinguished, make sure to tie up your mind.

"Please write down your answers. Those who answer correctly will enter the next round of competition."

The maid's words made everyone stunned. What does this mean? The contest is not about fighting, but about writing?

Even if everyone has more doubts, since this question was asked by Zhong Luocheng himself, there is no possibility of changing it.

Bai Chen looked at the two lines of words and read them twice. His confident look caught Mu Feng's eyes and made him look gloomy.

"What is this question? Do you know it?" Baba turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"It's very simple." Guan Xiaodou picked up the pen, wrote two words on the thin book, then closed the thin book and handed it to the maid.

Then, people handed in the thin books one after another.

Bai Chen supported his chin with one hand and whispered, "What's the answer?"

"Bald donkey." Lin Mengyao and Tang Qin said in unison.

"Oh." Bai Chen wrote the answer on the thin book and handed it over.

Although he didn't have much literary talent, he had two talented women around him, which was his greatest support.

After everyone's booklet was handed over, the row of maids in short robes turned over the couplets in their hands, and the second question fell into everyone's eyes.

The curtain-raiser said that the rain had passed and the sky was clear.

"This..."

Seeing this question, many people's faces changed instantly, and it was obvious that the question was a bit difficult.

"Speak frankly." Lin Mengyao leaned close to Bai Chen's ear and whispered.

"Well." Bai Chen smiled faintly and wrote down the answer. At this time, he found that the red-robed man opposite him also started writing.

Did he hear it?

After writing the booklet and handing it over, Bai Chen whispered: "For the third question later, you know the answer, just write it down, don't tell it."

The two women nodded when they heard it.

Sure enough, Bai Chen's voice was very low, but the red-robed man opposite still raised his head in surprise.

When the four looked at each other, Bai Chen smiled calmly. He was more certain that the man had eavesdropped on his words in the first two questions.

Listening skills are good...

"Next is the last question."

Jinlian flipped again, and there were two more lines of words.

There are endless theories about destiny and human merit, and it is hard to meet merit without destiny.

Why is there so much chaos all day long? Just because the numbers of yin and yang are different.

When this question came out, everyone's face suddenly darkened.

Bai Chen smiled calmly and put the thin book in his hand next to Lin Mengyao, but Lin Mengyao was indifferent.

Bai Chen couldn't help but wonder, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Lin Mengyao was also thinking hard.

A puzzle that even Mengyao couldn't solve? !

Bai Chen looked up in astonishment and found that people in the hall were silent one after another, and no thin book was handed over.

Zhongli Jing smiled at everyone, took a sip of herbal tea, and sat to watch the show.

If no one here can think of the answer, then this competition will eliminate everyone, right?

"Tianyun people have different skills and principles. What does this person mean?"

Lin Mengyao murmured something to himself, which made Guan Xiaodou slightly startled in the distance.

"I see!"

Guan Xiaodou was suddenly overjoyed and started writing.

At this moment, Bai Chen's eyes suddenly condensed, and his pupils gradually turned into a strange dark red.

His change only lasted for a moment, and the red light quickly faded away, but this moment was quickly captured by Zhongli's sharp-eyed mirror.

"This young man is quite interesting..." Zhongli Jing put down his teacup and smiled softly.

Hearing this, Zhong Luocheng couldn't help but look at Zhong Lijing curiously, wondering who the "interesting young man" he was referring to was.

However, just as Bai Chen was writing, he looked up again and found that the man in red robe had been staring at his movements and also wrote down the answer.

Did this bastard copy my starting action?

Bai Chen looked directly at the man in red robe and frowned.

In the third round of puzzles, only four people finally submitted the answers, namely Guan Xiaodou from the Heroes Guild, Situ Zhaonan from the Xiaoyao Guild, Bai Chen from the Chenyao Sword Sect, and the mysterious red-robed man.

"This is unfair!" Mu Feng suddenly slapped the table with his palm and became furious.
