After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

There were seven rounds in total for the competition, and everything from the bonuses to the prizes... was funded by Jiang Cheng.

It cost him a full 100,000 taels of silver!

But compared with millions of soldiers and horses, it is nothing.

Jiang Cheng and Hu Yanxue found a good seat and sat down.

Shangguan Bailin and Shangguan Qingwan were also invited to sit in the seats of honor.

The owner of Xiangyue Pavilion knew Shangguan Bailin. Although he was only a ten-year-old kid, he was a business genius. He also had the support of two towering trees, the Duke's Mansion and the Princess. He was the envy of all businessmen!

The host found a good seat for Shangguan Bailin and Shangguan Qingwan, which was also a private room on the second floor, facing Huyan Xue across the air.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they made eye contact with Huyan Xue.

Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin looked at each other, and both saw the words "enemies meet on a narrow road" in each other's eyes.

Seeing Huyanxue looking at the opposite side fiercely, Jiang Cheng also looked over, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

What a beautiful woman... She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen!

Jiang Cheng's heart was filled with excitement.

Suddenly, a note was placed on the table in front of me.

Jiang Cheng looked over subconsciously.

【Must win! 】

Jiang Cheng was puzzled. Why did Miss Xue look so calm just now and now she was so full of fighting spirit?

Jiang Cheng regained his composure and smiled proudly, "Don't worry, Miss Xue."

As he said this, he put his hand on Huyanxue's to test it.

Huyan Xue struggled for a moment, then stopped moving in an instant.

Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that as long as he won this competition, wouldn't it be easy to win Miss Xue's heart?

As for this competition... Gunnima had already arranged the questions and answers. He invited dozens of famous talents to give the answers, and selected the best ones from them.

Are you afraid of not winning?

Jiang Cheng was full of confidence. After his host gave the first couplet, he wrote it down and asked Gunnima to deliver it.

Huyan Xue also smiled provocatively at the opposite side.

However... after a few old scholars compared them, they gave Shangguan Bailin the first place.

As soon as the results came out, Huyan Xue's face turned dark.

Jiang Cheng was embarrassed for a moment and said, "Next round, next round..."

As a result, for three consecutive games, Jiang Cheng's pairs were inferior to Shangguan Bailin's.

Huyan Xue looked at him with contempt and disdain. If she hadn't been speechless, she would have started scolding him.

Jiang Cheng originally wanted to impress Huyan Xue with this, but ended up being beaten to the first place by someone else. He frowned in displeasure and asked Gunnima to find out who this Master Lin was.

When Gunnima came back after the investigation, Jiang Cheng found out that the boy was a brat. Jiang Cheng's face turned even darker than Huyanxue's.

He could only force a smile and said to Hu Yanxue: "That kid is just lucky..."

Hearing this, Huyan Xue's expression did not improve.

She didn't care whether Jiang Cheng had literary talent or not, she just didn't want to lose to Shangguan Bailin and Shangguan Qingwan!

Hu Yanxue took the pen and wrote a note, [Don't worry, Master Jiang, how can these two be compared with you? ]

Jiang Cheng was happy to hear the flattery, but he also heard another meaning, he asked: "Miss Xue, do you know these two people?"

A dark tide swept through Hu Yanxue's eyes, and she wrote, "An insignificant person."

Jiang Cheng was completely relieved.

There's no rush to win.

If it's an unimportant person, then in the end... even if he loses, he can still get his things back!

After all, these hundred thousand taels cannot be wasted.

After seven innings, the result was obvious.

Shangguan Bailin easily won the first place and specifically asked for the authentic Tang Bohu painting from Xiangyue Pavilion. Shangguan Bailin and Shangguan Qingwan were very happy to get the things, but the owner of Xiangyue Pavilion looked at Jiang Cheng worriedly.

Jiang Cheng retracted his sinister gaze from the two of them and said to Hu Yanxue, "If Miss Xue wants that painting, I can help you get it back!"

Hu Yanxue: [How to ask? ]

Jiang Cheng curled his lips, "Follow me!"

Shangguan Bailin and Shangguan Qingwan walked out of Xiangyue Pavilion with silver and calligraphy and paintings. Shangguan Bailin asked his followers to donate the silver he won to a porridge shop in the suburbs of Beijing, and then followed Shangguan Qingwan to Yumang Mountain.

A new immortal has come to Yumang Mountain. His name is Henglin. He is as handsome as an immortal, with the appearance of a phoenix. His good looks have brought countless people to Yumang Mountain. However, this immortal has a cold temperament and does not like to talk to people. The place where he lives is also desolate and simple. He is really like a god who is not affected by worldly affairs.

Many days ago, Shangguan Qingwan went out to play with several noble ladies. Unfortunately, she encountered a big beast in the woods. It was Master Henglin who saved her.

Shangguan Qingwan always wanted to repay him, but he asked for nothing.

Shangguan Qingwan thought that such an elegant person must be fond of calligraphy and painting, right?

It just so happened that she heard about the competition at Xiangyue Pavilion and won this scroll. She was sure that the immortal master would like it when he saw it.

Yumang Mountain is not easy to climb. The road ahead is sparsely populated. It was also sunset, making the hike even more difficult. Fortunately, the brother and sister kept each other company.

Suddenly, three people blocked Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin's way.

The two of them stared at each other, and Shangguan Qingwan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Cheng looked at Shangguan Qingwan from a close distance and was more and more moved by her beauty. However, he thought that beauty could not compare to the importance of the country... so he threw all his romantic thoughts out of his mind.

Hu Yanxue was speechless, so she could only provoke with her eyes.

Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin secretly thought that something was wrong.

Shangguan Bailin asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Cheng winked at Gunnima, who said coldly, "I'll give you a hundred taels, and give us the painting!"

Shangguan Qingwan got anxious when she heard this, "You wish!"

Gunnima glared at them fiercely, "Don't refuse my toast or drink the wine!"

Shangguan Qingwan rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "Psycho!"

"Bai Lin, follow me and ignore them!"

After saying that, Shangguan Qingwan took Shangguan Bailin's hand and was about to leave.

How could Huyanxue let them go? She still remembered how these two people opposed when her uncle wanted to ask for a title for her.

At this moment, new and old grudges came together... Huyan Xue blocked Shangguan Qingwan and pushed her down with his hand.

Shangguan Qingwan and Shangguan Bailin were not paying attention for a moment and both fell to the ground.

Shangguan Bailin was furious and yelled, "Are you sick?"

Shangguan Qingwan suppressed her anger and got up from the ground. She regretted not bringing any followers with her. Now they were outnumbered and she and Bai Lin could only suffer in silence.

Shangguan Qingwan was just about to help Shangguan Bailin up when someone kicked her hard on the back. Shangguan Qingwan fell flat on her face in pain.

"Sister!" Shangguan Bailin cried out in pain and walked forward.

On the side, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it and subconsciously stepped forward to help him, but was stopped by Gunnima, who whispered in his ear: "Prince, why do you care about the people of Da Chu? Have you forgotten the oath you once made?"

Yes, when he left Tubo, he vowed to make the people of Da Chu slaves and beasts... Jiang Cheng thought about it, and his eyes became dark.

Shangguan Qingwan and Huyanxue had already started fighting, and the two were evenly matched. However, after Shangguan Bailin helped Shangguan Qingwan, Huyanxue saw the situation was going badly, and she quickly yelled at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng thought about it and joined the battle.

Including Gunnima, the five of them fought together.
