Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"brush!"

The sharp sword light was like a flash of lightning.

Passing through the air.

It also crossed everyone's mind.

"do not want!"

Cui Yan shouted.

"brush!"

To everyone's disbelief.

The sword stopped 0.01cm away from Guan Ning's head.

The cold sword light.

It made Guan Ning's scalp tingle.

A chill instantly surged from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and then spread to my whole body.

For the first time, Guan Ning was the first to feel that he was so close to death.

"Whoo~~~"

Seeing that Cao Zhi did not chop down the sword in the end.

Cui Yan immediately patted his chest in relief.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the hall at this time.

Because of Cao Zhi's actions.

Fell into an inexplicable silence.

"Tick, tick..."

Suddenly, the sound of dripping water broke the silence.

At the same time, a strong smell of urine quickly spread around.

Everyone followed the sound.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Guan Ning's legs.

"Pfft!"

I saw that Guan Ning was actually scared to death by me.

Cao Zhi immediately revealed his sarcasm without any concealment.

As for the other people present.

Although it would not be as obvious as what Cao Zhi did at this moment.

But from everyone's flushed faces, it can be seen that everyone is having a hard time holding it in.

"Haha, our great scholar is truly a man of iron will!"

Cao Zhi laughed unabashedly.

"You, bastard!!"

Guan Ning was shaking with anger at this moment.

He didn't expect that Cao Zhi would dare to insult him like this.

He never expected that at the moment of death, he couldn't control his urge to urinate.

If this matter gets out.

It would be a huge loss of face.

But if I don't deal with the urine in my pants now.

It would be even more embarrassing for you.

Thinking of this, Guan Ning turned and left.

But Cao Zhi stopped him.

"Mr. Guan, you want to leave after insulting my father. Do you think I, Cao Zhi, am easy to talk to?"

Cao Zhi sneered.

"You, brat!"

Seeing that Cao Zhi was not convinced, Guan Ning turned his gaze to Cui Yan and said coldly:

"Ji Gui, you just watch this brat bully your master!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yan couldn't help but groan inwardly.

Then, Cui Yan looked at Cao Zhi and said awkwardly:

"Fourth Young Master, please show some mercy!"

"Master Cui, I've already given you face once, but this old dog didn't show any mercy, so this time, I'm not going to give you face!"

Cao Zhi sneered.

"this--"

Seeing Cao Zhi calling himself "Master Cui".

Cui Yan knew that Cao Zhi was angry.

However, Cui Yan also understood.

With Guan Ning's attitude today.

If it were me, I would be angry too.

On one side is the future of the Cui family, and on the other side is his own master.

Even with his ass, Cui Yan knew what to choose.

However, Cui Yan also knew.

Whether it is the Cui family or the Cao family, it is not appropriate to offend Guan Ning at the moment.

Then Cui Yan said:

"Fourth Young Master, how about this? Let the Master go now, and I promise to convince him to forgive you!"

"Master Guan is a world-renowned scholar. His word is worth a thousand gold. If he says he will forgive you, he will definitely forgive you!"

While speaking, Cui Yan winked at Cao Zhi.

But what disappointed Cui Yan was...

At the moment he said this.

Guan Ning's eyes lit up instantly.

Then, amid Cui Yan's pleading, Guan Ning sneered:

"Ji Gui, if you don't ask me, I would rather be humiliated, but I cannot humiliate the classics!"

"This brat insulted the Confucian classics today. One day, the disciples of the Confucian classics will seek justice for the Confucian classics!"

After saying this.

Guan Ning looked at Cao Zhi with a smug look on his face.

It seemed to be saying, "You can insult me ​​in the name of [insulting my father], and I can also fight back in the name of [insulting Confucian classics]!"

Well, I gave you face, didn’t I?

Seeing that Guan Ning still wanted to suppress him at this time, Cao Zhi became angry.

"Fourth Young Master, be careful!"

Seeing that Cao Zhi looked unhappy, Chen Lin immediately advised him.

"Fourth Young Master, for Yao'er's sake, just bear with it!"

Cui Yan also pleaded at this time.

"Boy, if you know what's good for you, kneel down and admit your mistake now, otherwise, all the Confucian scholars in the world will be your enemies in the future!"

Guan Ning sneered.

At this moment, he looked as if he was sure of victory, and had completely forgotten that he had just been scared to death.

At this moment, the voice of the system came into Cao Zhi's mind.

[Ding, the system has detected that the host needs to make a choice. The following three options are now given.]

[Choose one, let Guan Ning go, and you will get a Seven-Star Dragon Source Sword! ]

[Choose 2, apologize to Guan Ning and receive a copy of the Book of Songs annotated by Guan Ning!]

[Choose three, attack Confucian classics, and you will get the complete version of Yangming's philosophy of mind! ]

Along with the system's voice, it rang in Cao Zhi's mind.

Cao Zhi decisively gave up option two.

What a joke! Guan Ning's annotations to the Book of Songs were given to me for free, but I didn't even want them.

As for options one and three.

The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword is indeed precious, but can it be compared with the School of Mind?

You should know that the School of Mind is a doctrine based on Confucianism.

Wang Yangming, the founder of the School of Mind, was later honored as the second sage of China, on par with Confucius.

People like Guan Ning dared to call themselves great Confucian scholars of the time just because they annotated a few Confucian classics.

If I put in some effort to learn, wouldn't I be able to stand on equal footing with Confucius?

Even if you can't become a saint, at worst you can be half a saint.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhi no longer hesitated.

"W-what are you going to do?"

Seeing Cao Zhi looking at him excitedly, Guan Ning couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Haha... Mr. Guan, don't be afraid. We are all scholars. A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

"Right, right, right. We are all scholars, so we should use our mouths instead of our hands!"

Cui Yan quickly tried to smooth things over.

As for Guan Ning, he was staring at Cao Zhi with a vigilant look on his face.

He had a premonition that Cao Zhi was going to give him a big one.

In Guan Ning's vigilance, Cao Zhi smiled and said:

"May I ask, Mr. Guan, what is Confucian classics?"

Guan Ning: “???”

Cui Yan: “???”

Chen Lin: “???”

Others in the room: “???”

Seeing that Cao Zhi had been thinking about this for so long and actually asked such a question, everyone present was dumbfounded.

And Guan Ning, after a brief moment of unconsciousness.

When he came to his senses at this moment, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

"My boy, if you ask me what Confucian classics are, I will mercifully tell you!"

"The so-called classics are the teachings of the saints. Confucianism was founded in the Spring and Autumn Period and took shape in the Warring States Period. During this period, countless Confucian classics were born, but due to the war..."

"…Scholars like me have devoted our lives to studying the classics, tirelessly annotating Confucian texts. Our goal is to enable future generations of scholars to more accurately understand the true meaning of the sages!"

"In my opinion, Confucian classics are the teachings that carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages!"

After saying this, Guan Ning couldn't help but straighten his back.

It felt as if he had really done something remarkable.

Of course, according to the standards of this era, Guan Ning's behavior was indeed remarkable.

But unfortunately, Guan Ning met Cao Zhi.

As soon as Guan Ning finished speaking, Cao Zhi sneered:

"Mr. Guan's ability to boast is indeed impressive, but in my opinion, the so-called classics are bullshit!"

Cao Zhi's voice was not loud.

But Cao Zhi's words were like an earthquake, shaking everyone's mind.

Those nobles who came upon invitation.

At this moment, after hearing Cao Zhi's words.

They all took a step back at the same time.

He wanted to distance himself from Cao Zhi's rejection.

When Chen Lin heard this, he, who had just looked so proud, suddenly became hopeless.

At this moment, Cui Yan's face was full of fear.

He didn't expect that Cao Zhi would be so bold.

He knew clearly that what Guan Ning had just said was a trap.

But Cao Zhi not only did not avoid it, but jumped in directly.

"Boy, you, you, what did you just say about Confucian classics?"

Guan Ning could hardly believe his ears.

"I say, Confucian classics are bullshit!"

Facing Guan Ning's gaze, Cao Zhi sneered.
