Di Daughter: Favoured Medical Princess ch 96

 

Chapter 96 - The Winner

Nangong Yue had passed five levels in a row, and by this time, the number of participants had already been reduced by half, Nangong Yan, Nangong Lin and Su Qingping had already left the competition at some point, leaving only her, Nangong Zheng and Nangong Sheng on the stage. Then ...... her eyes fell on the contestant on her left hand side, the teenager wearing a pig head mask had actually stayed behind as well. Followed by another look to the front right ...... and the Mingyue county princess who also stayed until now.

Nangong Yue was looking at others, and others were also looking at her. Qu Jiayue's eyes glanced back and forth between Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng again.

Uncle Fan went on to ask the sixth question: "To give love in one's old age, one word."

Nangong Yue's eyes immediately glanced at the young man in the pig head mask who was writing without thinking. She could not help but feel a slight headache, it seemed that it was not an easy task for her to win the painting.

This question caused Nangong Zheng to be knocked down ...... and so on, and after the seventh question, Nangong Sheng and Qu Jiayue were also knocked down. Qu Jiayue deliberately circled around behind Nangong Yue and left a meaningful sentence behind her: "Miss Nangong is not only an exceptional qin player, but also a quick thinker!" Having said that, she left the stage.

Nangong Yue remained calmly standing in the same place, it's not like she hadn't heard harsh words before in her previous life, Qu Jiayue is still far from being able to do this. The fact that Qu Jiayue called herself "Miss Nangong", it seems that the other party mistook herself for elder sister Nangong Hang.

There were only four people left on the field, and coincidentally all four were wearing masks, so their faces could not be seen, but could only be deduced from their shapes and clothing: three were men, and one was a young girl of modest age.

This young girl is naturally Nangong Yue.

Nangong Sheng and the others were surprised that Nangong Yue had made it this far, not that the puzzle was that difficult, if they had thought about it, most of them could have come up with the answer. However, it was the fact that the time to think about the answer was so short on this stage, with everyone watching, that made it so rare.

The riddle-guessing contest continues ......

    "The eighth question is, "The capital welcomes visitors from the north and the south."

    "The ninth question ......"

After two consecutive questions, only Nangong Yue and the young man in the pig's head mask were left on the stage.

Uncle Fan smilingly arched his hand and said, "First of all, congratulations to both of you for entering the final round, but there can only be one champion, so the last question, there is no need to write, whoever answers it quickly and accurately, is the winner. Do you have any objections?"

Both Nangong Yue and "Pig Head Mask" nodded and did not object.

    In this way, Uncle Fan said the tenth puzzle: "A flock of geese chasing a boat."

"Yan!" Nangong Yue said, but to her surprise, the "pig-headed mask" actually said the riddle together with her, and the other party's voice seemed a bit familiar.

Two people actually played a tie, how should we judge this? The atmosphere was a bit stagnant for a while.

Some good onlookers below called out, "Uncle Fan, now there are two champions, won't this prize be split in two?"

Other onlookers were also talking to each other and the atmosphere was lively.

Uncle Fan, who had seen a lot of scenes, quickly calmed down and sighed, "This is the tenth time that we have had a riddle-guessing contest at Sheng Hua Restaurant, and this is the first time that such a situation has occurred. This girl and this gentleman are indeed very clever!" After a pause, he said, "Unfortunately, there is only one painting, so if you don't object, I will give you another question to determine the winner, what do you think?" He asked with a consultative tone.

"The pig-headed mask said without thinking, "Then let's have a question."

Nangong Yue was shocked, she had just felt that this voice sounded familiar, and now she finally heard it, this young man wearing a pig head mask was Xiao Yi!

When she thought of Xiao Yizi walking by her side at the entrance of the restaurant before the competition began, Nangong Yue's eyebrows twitched. At that time, Xiao Yi had already put on this pig-headed mask, but she did not. Therefore, Xiao Yi must have known who she was.

Thinking of what happened at the manor last time, Nangong Yue made up her mind and said to Uncle Fan in a lowered voice: "Boss Fan, there is no need to compete anymore, I am willing to withdraw, and the painting will be given to this gentleman." After saying that, she wanted to turn around and leave.

She had just taken a step when Xiao Yi stopped her with a single step. He said with a smile, "Hey, what do you mean, are you looking down on me?"

Nangong Yue felt a sudden pain in her head, it seemed that someone hadn't had enough. She stroked her forehead and said helplessly, "Well, then, it's better to continue." On the other hand, Nangong Yue was relieved to hear his tone of voice, it seemed that her persuasion that night had worked, his heart did not seem to have changed too much because of the assassination and betrayal that night.

Who knows that Nangong Yue's compromise did not satisfy Xiao Yi, instead he said unhappily, "No, you will definitely lose to me on purpose later."

Nangong Yue only felt a sense of powerlessness surge to her heart, "Then what do you say?"

  Xiao Yi's right hand stroked his chin twice, pondered for a moment and said something that made people want to vomit blood: "How about this, let's split the prize in two, one for each of us."

Nangong Yue really wanted to split his head open to see what kind of structure it was, what was the difference between this painting split in half and scrap paper! He really was deliberately looking for a fight!

    Naturally, Nangong Yue would not agree, and could only say, "Don't worry, I won't deliberately pretend to lose to you." Then she said in an extremely confident tone, "And I will definitely win against you."

"And what if you don't win against me?" Xiao Yi asked immediately afterwards.

"If I don't win, then we can have half of it then!" Nangong Yue said very coldly. Anyway, if she didn't win, with Xiao Yi's stirring personality, he might have to say that she had let him off the hook......Moreover, she was 90% sure that the person who really wanted to let the water out(purposely losing) was Xiao Yi ...... For some reason, Xiao Yi seemed to be pleasing her today, and Nangong Yue could not help but be surprised by this idea.

"Alright then." Xiao Yi's tone was reluctant, but in his heart, he was very pleased. He was at a loss as to how to make amends for the trouble he had caused the girl at the manor last time, and now he had a chance to doze off and have a pillow delivered to him! This is a gift that he has given with integrity!

At that moment, a servant-like man hurried up to the high platform and handed a piece of paper to Uncle Fan with both hands respectfully.

Uncle Fan took it and said, "Usually when we get to the tenth puzzle, the winner will be selected, but this time there was an accident. With that, he unfolded the paper and read out the puzzle, "The two tips are as white as silver, it's hard to be a man without me, but someone has to guess me, to be considered a wise man in the world."

The Nangong family looked at Nangong Yue on the stage and thought to themselves, if Nangong Yue guessed it, then they would easily get a famous painting worth a thousand taels.

Nangong Lin was envious and jealous, and with a twinkle in her eye, she looked at Nangong Zheng and teased, "Eldest sister, I didn't expect Third Sister to be so powerful, she's outdone us all."

Nangong Zheng's expression was hidden under a mask, she naturally understood Nangong Lin's mind and did not intend to do as she wished. Moreover, Nangong Zheng always felt that this riddle was just a game that was not on the stage, so she did not mind too much and said in her usual tone, "Yue Jie Er is already very smart, so there is no need for Fourth Sister to be presumptuous, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will also become like Third Sister."

Nangong Lin was choked speechless.

    At this moment, Nangong Yue on the stage, after a little thought, already opened her mouth and said the answer: "Rice."

    This time, although Xiao Yi also spoke, he deliberately followed Nangong Yue's final words.

Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue, smiled and arched his hand to congratulate her, "This girl is really powerful, you won, the painting belongs to you. I've lost."

Nangong Yue couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi with some complicated eyes. Once, her awe of Xiao Yi only came from the impression of her previous life. In her eyes, the present Xiao Yi was just a lazy boy, except for his hands, he was idle and had nothing to do! But today, it seems that the God of Destruction is worthy of being the God of Destruction, not only is his martial arts skills extraordinary, and he has the talent to lead troops in battle, but his mind is also extremely intelligent.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi, but she saw that the other party was looking at herself intently, her eyes so gentle that they seemed to be dripping water. Nangong Yue instantly shivered in her heart.

It was an illusion, it must be an illusion!

    How could Xiao Yi possibly look at himself with such eyes!

    Either he was mistaken, or Xiao Yi's eyes had been twitched.

    At this moment, Uncle Fan handed the painting of Jin Lan to Nangong Yue with a smile on his face.

Nangong Yue looked at the "hard-earned" painting in her hand, and thought in her heart that she had to leave here quickly. Otherwise, there is no telling what will happen to this Xiao Yi.

    After that, Nangong Yue will be in the applause of the onlookers to get off the stage, and the Nangong House people reunited, and then out of the Shenghua restaurant, the heart is finally a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Third Sister, I didn't expect Third Sister to be so good at guessing riddles. After this stop, she can be called the smartest person in the royal capital!" Nangong Lin said sourly, intent on attracting hate for Nangong Yue.

"There are people outside the world, there is a world outside the sky, I only won a few dozen people, I dare not call myself that. This riddle is just a small entertainment show of doing things. A scholar like big brother is probably not like me who knows how to play with these things!" The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curved, "However, I still have to thank the fourth sister for her compliment."

Nangong Lin only felt stuffy, she did not want to praise Nangong Yue.

    At this time, Su Qingping giggled and said, "Today I have also opened my eyes, I didn't expect our Yue Jie Er to be hidden."

    "Ping Biaogu has flattered me." Nangong Yue indifferently blocked back, "There are shortcomings in the feet, and there are longcomings in the inches. I am only a little bit better than others in this area."
