After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 144 I laugh at you, you are a bunch of sour chickens

There are many people who want the Lantern King. Perhaps they simply want the lantern itself, or they want to make a name for themselves by hunting tigers, so there are many people lining up in front.

While Lin Xi and Lin Wushang were talking, many people failed again.

It was Cheng Haoran's turn to play.

He looked towards the Lantern King confidently——

The riddle of the Lantern King is not written on a small wooden sign, but engraved on the lantern.

The lantern has two layers, using a nested pattern. The lantern on the outer layer rotates constantly, and the characters revealed on the inner layer also change.

Therefore, the puzzles on the lantern are also changing all the time, so everyone faces different puzzles.

This also prevents people behind from thinking about the answer in advance.

Cheng Haoran felt that the people in front of him didn't solve the mystery because they were too useless.

It will definitely be different when I play.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the puzzle above, he was stunned.

"The person who came here is actually Penglai Ke, please type a word."

Cheng Haoran frowned and started thinking.

The guy next to him was timing, and each person only had ten breaths of time to kill the tiger, which was a number in the tens.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

After the ten count passed, the waiter smiled and said, "Master, the time has passed. Please give me your invitation."

Cheng Haoran stood there motionless, "Shut up, I'll figure it out right away!"

That word is—

"I know, it's the word 'mountain'!"

Guy: "It's useless for you to think about it now. The time has passed. Young master, you'd better get out of the way. There are many people waiting behind you."

Cheng Haoran raised his eyebrows and asked him: "Do you know who I am?"

Guy: "This, may I ask you?"

Cheng Haoran unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned, "Cheng Haoran is sixteen in the Cheng family."

Lin Xi saw this scene: "..."

This person is so pretentious. I wonder if he will be struck by lightning if he pretends to be so pretentious.

However, Cheng Haoran, who seemed to her to be extremely greasy, gained praise from others present after revealing his identity.

"It turns out to be Mr. Cheng. I am honored to meet you. I am honored to read Master Cheng's masterpieces. I wonder if Mr. Cheng can introduce me to Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Taifu, Cheng Haoran's grandfather, had been a Taifu in the previous dynasty. Later, before the prince had time to ascend the throne, the emperor ended his career.

Taifu Cheng resolutely distanced himself from the prince, resigned and returned home.

Contemporaries also praised Taifu Cheng for his integrity.

"I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to bring his beautiful lady to enjoy the lanterns. In that case, I won't argue with Mr. Cheng."

Another man came over and glanced at Cheng Haoran and Cheng Qiniang ambiguously, obviously misunderstanding their relationship.

Cheng Haoran said seriously: "This is my second uncle's cousin, Madam Cheng Qi. Don't get me wrong."

The man just now leaned over and bowed, apologizing profusely.

Cheng Qiniang smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. Get up."

He raised his sleeves and made a gesture of support.

There was a sachet hidden in her sleeve, and as soon as she raised her sleeve, bursts of fragrance came out. The man couldn't help but take a deep breath intoxicatedly, and looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

Cheng Qiniang's face was slightly red, and she turned sideways as if she was shy.

The lowered eyes were half complacent and half contemptuous.

She was pleased that the young man fell in love with her easily and fell under her skirt.What she despises is that the man is just a commoner, but he dares to think about her as a daughter of a noble family. He really overestimates his capabilities.

After this incident, everyone on the third floor knew the identities of the two people, as well as Cheng Haoran's determination to win the Lantern King for his cousin.

Some simply quit the team and no longer participate in the competition, while others are more eager to try and are determined to win.

But it's not for themselves, but for Cheng Qiniang. They want to win the lamp to her, so that this daughter of the Cheng family from the capital can look at her with admiration.

If he could win her favor, that would be even better. He might even hope to become the Chenglong son-in-law of the Cheng family.

By then, they will be able to achieve great success!
These people had good ideas, but unfortunately they all failed.

The puzzle is not particularly difficult. If they are given time, they will be able to solve it.

The key is that the time to solve the puzzle is too short.

Especially when the guy is still counting down next to them. Listening to the countdown, they will inevitably feel flustered and confused.

When it was Lin Wushang's turn, these losers did not take him seriously.

How could a child of seven or eight years old, no matter how smart he was, still be able to surpass them?
When Cheng Haoran saw Lin Wushang, a flash of regret flashed in his eyes.

This kid is really lucky. Qianlilou, who claims to have never been defeated, couldn't even kill him.

Lin Wushang came to the Lantern King. The rotating lantern stopped, and a puzzle was displayed on it——

Looking south to the lone star and the rising moon, type a word.

He said the answer instantly: "It's the word 'Zhuang'."

Others were still thinking, but when they heard the answer and looked back at the puzzle, they suddenly became enlightened.

"This kid is really smart, I'm afraid he's not a prodigy."

"You are really smart. He is so smart at such a young age. He will definitely be even more amazing when he grows up."

However, more people slandered Lin Wushang for no reason.

"What does such an older child know? I'm afraid he hasn't learned all the words yet? How could he guess it right at once? I think he must have cheated."

"That's right. If you didn't know the answer in advance, how could you guess it at a glance?"

"Is this lantern sent by Fanlou? I think Fanlou must have leaked the answer to the child, hoping to use it to build momentum for him and win him the reputation of a child prodigy! Unfortunately, how can I do this with my sharp eyes? Was he deceived?"

Each of these people spoke categorically, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Lin Xi laughed out loud. Her laughter was as clear and clear as a silver bell, and she immediately suppressed the voices of those people.

"What are you laughing at, little girl?"

Lin Xi: "I'm laughing at you guys. If you can't guess the answer to the riddle yourself, you think others can't guess it, and you use it to slander the person who guessed it. You are ignorant and immoral. Jump off this building quickly. I don't think so." Shame on you."

She babbled a little, and at the end she made a "shy" face, which made the group of people's mouths twist in anger.

"You kid are really—"

With a "swish", Qin Shuang drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword was shining brightly, and the tip of the sword was directly touching the man's neck. The man was so shocked that he could not speak.

The rest of the people were also startled by the woman who drew her sword against her even if they disagreed, and they all retreated away from the blind sword.

Lin Xi grinned sarcastically: "A bunch of cowards."

A group of people dare not speak out.

This little girl looks like a little fairy child, but she talks like a demon child. It's really annoying!

Lin Wushang: "Man, since I guessed the riddle correctly, does this lamp belong to me?"

Guy: "That's right, young master, I will take off the lamp right now."

Because the lantern was too big, two guys worked together to remove it.

Yu Niang walked around the lantern and looked at Lin Xi with a smile: "Xi Bao, this lantern is so beautiful."
