Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

Qin Qi simply ate the remaining half bowl that Xue Nu had left; there was no other way, as rice was very expensive these days.

Moreover, cherishing food starts with me; every little bit of it is the result of hard work!

After they finished eating, Qin Qi and his group continued their journey.

An hour later, the effects of the medicinal diet began to take effect.

The Snow Woman felt warm all over, and her originally icy hands and feet now felt warm. She also felt a little sleepy.

In a daze, she leaned on Qin Qi's shoulder.

"Get some sleep. If you eat well and sleep well, your body will naturally feel better. By the way, I'll work part-time as your personal doctor. Do you want to give me extra money?"

"No, you still owe me money for the meal."

"You're so stingy. Don't worry, I never renege on my debts. If I say I'll pay you back, I definitely will."

Qin Qi placed the zither in front of him and began to play. This time, the piece did not have such a strong murderous aura; instead, it made him feel very relaxed.

As Xue Nu listened to Qin Qi's zither music, her heart gradually relaxed, and her serious expression softened.

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, she felt as if she had arrived in a sunny place filled with flowers.

………………

It's so warm and safe here. She wants to stay here forever, where there's no war and she doesn't have to worry about anything.

There's no backstabbing or intrigue here, and you don't have to worry about being hurt. This is a paradise!

As the Snow Woman was thinking this, she suddenly saw a horse, a Qilin horse, and in her dream, the Qilin horse began to get close to her.

Not only did he let her touch him, he even allowed her to ride on his horse, which galloped through the sea of ​​flowers.

"Wow, that's fast! No wonder Qin Qi always likes to take the Qilin Horse out for a spin. So this is what it feels like to ride it."

The thought popped into the Snow Maiden's mind, and at the same time, Qin Qi's face appeared. She hurriedly shook it off.

"I don't want him. If he comes, he'll definitely cause trouble, and my peaceful life will be disrupted."

The Snow Woman pouted. In her sleep, she completely relaxed and was no longer cold and aloof. At this moment, she was more like a little girl.

But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what is most likely to appear before you.

The moment the Snow Maiden thought of Qin Qi, Qin Qi actually appeared in the sea of ​​flowers.

When Xue Nu saw Qin Qi beckon, her Qilin horse ran over on its own, ignoring her attempts to control it.

When the Snow Maiden saw Qin Qi up close, she was immediately awakened and found him standing right in front of her.

She reached out and gently punched Qin Qi's shoulder, saying coquettishly, "Why are you everywhere? You even bully me in my dreams, you're so annoying."

"what?"

I didn't do anything! I'm innocent!

Just as Qin Qi was about to ask what had happened, a person appeared in front of the carriage.

"Master Gongsun Linglong greets you, sir. I would like to discuss with you the question of whether the white horse is indeed a horse."

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Master Gongsun's Theory of "A White Horse Is Not a Horse"!

"Gongsun Linglong is a descendant of the famous scholar Gongsun Long."

Looking at the affected, fat woman in front of him, Qin Qi quickly turned to look at Xue Nu and then breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost went blind, but luckily I had a snow woman by my side to wash my eyes.

"It is indeed I, a humble woman. I have come here because I heard that you challenged our Hundred Schools of Thought. A few days ago, one of my disciples was also defeated by you."

"I have come here to experience your debating skills..."

"Alright, let's get started!"

"Wait, I've heard that you are most skilled at defeating your own disciples using the unique techniques of the Hundred Schools of Thought."

"Therefore, I would like to make a deal with you, sir. We will debate this white horse using only words as the subject, and whoever resorts to force will be the loser."

"What do you think, sir?"

Gongsun Linglong held a mask to cover her face as she looked at Qin Qi, recalling her conversation with that scion of a famous family.

At that time, the sons of famous families debated with Qin Qi on the topic that there is no distinction between life and death, that a living person is not necessarily a living person, and that a living person can also be a dead person.

After the disciple finished speaking, Qin Qi slapped him to the ground.

Then Qin Qi said:

"If you can feel pain, it means you are still alive. If you die, you won't feel anything."

Do you consider yourself alive or dead? Do you think there's a difference between life and death? If there is, then you are alive.

"If not, then I'll turn you into a dead man. I'll ask you one more time: is there any difference between life and death?"

The disciple of the famous school was subdued by Qin Qi's slap and immediately declared that he was alive. When he admitted that he was alive, the debate about the indistinguishability between life and death was thus resolved.

Gongsun Linglong learned from her opponent's mistake and prohibited them from using force before the debate even began.

"no problem."

"Humph."

At this moment, the Qilin horse sneezed, looked at the white horse behind Gongsun Linglong, and neighed at Qin Qi.

"Understood. If I win, you'll have to give me that white horse."

Qin Qi nodded and spoke.

"What if you lose, sir?"

"Then whatever you say goes."

“Good! Sir, you are very generous. As long as you can win the debate, my family heirloom, the white horse, will be yours.”

"If I win, you will still be a gentleman, but you must join the Gongsun family!"

Gongsun Linglong's purpose in coming here was not simply to challenge Qin Qi, but to expand her own power.

Qin Qi is eloquent and powerful, and he is also well-versed in the teachings of various schools of thought. If he were to be taken under his wing, the prestige of the school would become even stronger among the various schools of thought.

"let's start."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Then let's take the white horse as the topic. Do you think a white horse is a horse? And is a horse a white horse?"

Gongsun Linglong asked the question. She had already foreseen her victory the moment she uttered those words!

Xue Nu frowned upon hearing the other party's words. She had also heard of the saying "A white horse is not a horse" from the School of Names, which was Gongsun Long's art of debate.

She was extremely difficult to deal with. The moment she opened her mouth, the outcome was already decided. She quietly grabbed Qin Qi's hand, trying to remind him not to respond.

Don't follow the other person's lead and ask whether a white horse is a horse; you must shift the focus away from whether a white horse is a horse.

"A white horse is, of course, a horse."

Qin Qi spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"Hahaha, wrong, completely wrong! How can a white horse be a horse? A white horse is not a horse."

Gongsun Linglong laughed heartily. She felt that she had already won when the other party said that a white horse is a horse.

"Sir, if a white horse is a horse, then you have a white horse. I have taken your white horse, and I will return a black horse to you the next day."

"When the time comes, I'll tell you that a white horse is a horse, and a black horse is also a horse, so a black horse is a white horse. Would you accept that explanation?"

Gongsun Linglong spoke up.

"Here it comes! The Gongsun family's trump card: a white horse is not a horse, and a black horse is not a horse either, therefore a black horse is not a white horse."

"As long as the debate devolves into proving the difference between the dark horse and the white horse, the opponent has achieved their goal and won the debate."

"You shouldn't respond to what the other person is saying. Instead, change the subject. You might still have a chance to win."

Xue Nu frowned, pondering how to refute the other party. Unconsciously, she had already put herself in Qin Qi's shoes and started to think about him.

"Why are you not saying anything, sir? But it's alright if you don't speak, let me speak for you."

"Horses in this world come in many colors: white, black, brown, gray, and red."

"You can't say that all these colored horses are white horses, can you?"

"The theory that 'white horse = horse, horse = black horse, white horse = black horse' is naturally wrong, since it is wrong."

"So it is wrong to say that a white horse equals a horse, therefore a white horse is not equal to a horse."

Gongsun Linglong's "White Horse is Not a Horse" is based on the denial that a white horse is a black horse and a black horse is also a horse, in order to establish her own concept of "White Horse is Not a Horse".

She cannot prove that a white horse is not a horse, but she can use sophistry to connect the two concepts of a white horse not being a black horse and a black horse being a horse.

This proves that a white horse is not a horse!

"you are right."

Qin Qi said.

Sir, are you admitting defeat?

Gongsun Linglong showed an excited expression. She didn't expect to win the debate so easily. She thought it would be much more difficult to argue.

As expected, the Gongsun family's "white horse is not a horse" argument is the strongest! No one can beat her in debate!

"Are you going to admit defeat? You just said a white horse isn't a horse, so let the Qilin horse go kick her to death."

Qin Qi patted the Qilin horse and spoke.

"Humph!"

The Qilin horse exhaled a white mist, creating two small craters in the ground, and then strode menacingly toward Gongsun Linglong.

"Sir, what is the reason for this? Didn't we just agree not to use force? Whoever uses force loses!"

Gongsun Linglong watched the Qilin horse approaching her. Seeing the fierce look on its master's face, she took a few steps back in fear.

"No, the horse that kicked you wasn't the Qilin horse. The Qilin horse hasn't kicked you yet."

"The Qilin horse that kicks you is the one that kicks you when he kicks you."

"So kicking your horse is not the same as kicking the Qilin horse, and the Qilin horse is not the same as kicking your horse. If the Qilin horse is not kicking your horse, then I did not commit a foul."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Sir, please don't joke around. You can't tell at a glance whether this horse is going to kick me, and besides, you just ordered it to kick me."

"We heard that! You've lost this round!"

Although Gongsun Linglong was frightened, she remained somewhat calm, believing that the other party would not easily break the agreement since it had been made.

This is just one part of the opponent's debating tactics. As long as I persevere, I will definitely win!

"Wrong. The Qilin horse was just about to kick, but it didn't kick yet, so it doesn't count as kicking your horse, let alone attacking you. I didn't commit a foul."

"It's like you're born to die; can you say you're a dead person right now?"

"The Qilin horse is indeed going to kick you, but it hasn't kicked yet, so can you say it's the horse that's going to kick you?"

"The horse that kicked the Qilin before is not the horse that kicked you, and the horse that kicked the Qilin after is also not the horse that kicked you. Only the horse that kicked you is the horse that kicked you."

"Can you say that the Qilin horse that kicked you before was the same horse that kicked you? You can't, right? Since you can't, then I didn't commit a foul."

"Choose one: admit that the Qilin horse that kicked you before was the one that kicked you, or admit that it wasn't?"

Qin Qi couldn't prove whether the white horse was a horse, but he could make the other party admit that their statement was wrong.

If the other side wants to eliminate Qin Qi, they must admit that the Qilin Horse is a horse that kicks people. Since they admit that, then the white horse is also a horse.

The opposing side argues that a black horse is equivalent to a horse, but a white horse is not equivalent to a black horse, therefore the theory that a white horse is not a horse is invalid.

"You, you're being unreasonable, you're threatening me, you don't care about your own dignity at all!"

Gongsun Linglong watched as the Qilin horse drew ever closer and came right in front of her, and she wanted to run away.

However, due to her lack of agility, she suddenly fell down in the heat of the moment, only to see the Qilin horse leap up and prepare to trample her to death.

She finally gave up!

"This Qilin horse is the same horse that kicked me, and the white horse is still a horse!"
