Chapter 175: I Am Not Someone Who Relies On My Good Looks To Get By
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
When Xu Que shouted out, "You damned pervert!", there was utter silence.
The students around were all stupefied!
What was going on? Obviously, you are the pervert. Why did you turn it around and accuse others of being the pervert?
The student finally regained his senses and was overwhelmed with anger, "You dare to be the pot calling the kettle black? It was your question which was problematic. You clearly wanted to humiliate us and force us to stoop down to your lowly level."
"I believe that everyone here knows I’m not that type of person. I just wanted to foil your plan and stop your coarse tongue from spewing more rubbish. That was why I vocalized that dirty answer."
"No, you’re clearly wrong! Keke... how is the answer dirty? I don’t think so! It’s obvious that your mind and heart are dirty, that’s why you looked at the question and thought of dirty things." Xu Que blinked several times innocently.
Eh? The answer is wrong? It’s our minds and hearts that are dirty?
Hearing these, the student’s eyelids twitched as they felt a sense of foreboding. As if they had just been fooled once again!
Indeed, Xu Que laughed as he opened his mouth to reveal the answer.
"There’s a part of our body, some are hard while others are soft. Adults have longer ones, while childrens have shorters ones. Some are more hairy, while others are less hairy. What else could this be? Of course our arms!"
Arms?
When they heard the answer, they were filled with astonishment. Soon after, they felt a certain aching in their chests, as if they were about to vomit blood soon.
I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take it anymore! All of us cannot handle this kid any longer. Who can take him away from here?
At this point, Xu Que even rolled his sleeves up and stretched his fair arms out in explanation. "Come, everyone stretch your arms out."
"Look, my arms are rather hard, whereas Madam Ya’s are soft. Look at that knob head over there, his arms are hairy. Hence, the answer to this question is very simple. I’m extremely bewildered, why can’t you answer it out loud? Please be pure in your thoughts!"
"..." The lips of the students trembled, unsure of what else to say.
After all… There was nothing wrong with this answer at all!
Some arms are muscular and thus would be harder. Since the women would always maintain their complexions, their skins would be soft and smooth. An adult’s arm would be bigger than a child’s arm and some arms are hairy while others are not. It was all very normal!
But… Why were they unable to get the correct answer?
Everyone shot glances over at Xu Que, as their lips quivered violently. They all looked at his face, which was beaming with excitement. The more they looked at his face, the more they wanted to punch it hard!
From the very first moment, he had deceived everyone with his first question. Next, he used the fact that nobody would dare to answer his question to get through the second round.
Right after, when he asked the third question, he even gave a cheeky smile, causing everyone to think in a twisted manner. He played mind games with the student, making them think that he was using the same trick once again and that they wouldn’t dare to speak out the answer. And yet when they finally voiced out the answer, this was the result.
Tang Liu Feng stood by the side of the lake as he heard Xu Que explain the answer. After he had heard every word, he stood by the lake and fell into a daze for a long time.
"Regardless of whether he is thick skinned or shameless, or that he constantly spews rubbish from his mouth at every turn, I vow to always be in admiration of my brother Li Bai." Tang Liu Feng swore to the heavens.
When Madam Ya heard Xu Que’s answer, she was stumped as well as she cast a glance over at him. Her lips curled upwards into a smile, "What a person, Li Bai of Heavenly Explosion Faction. You almost tricked me as well!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 40 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 90 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough superbly. The reward is 100 act tough points!"
A series of system notifications rang out in Xu Que’s head as his smile intensified.
"Young mister Li, you’ve passed this round. From today on, you are a VIP guest to my events! Please, come this way!" Madam Ya invited Xu Que into her compound after staring at him for some time.
The stare in her eyes had ‘electrocuted’ Xu Que repeatedly as he wondered if she was doing that intentionally or whether it was just her natural look!
However, Xu Que knew that he was an upright gentleman and was extremely pure in thoughts and honorable in actions. He would never be seduced by such an enchanting and alluring woman. At the very most, his brother would stand up as show of utmost respect and reverence of such beauty!
Indeed, as soon as he took a step towards the compound, the crowd started whispering and were clearly agitated by something.
"Ai… That is..."
"That’s young master Mo. He’s one of the four great students from Bright Saints College. He was even nicknamed King Poet!"
"Wait a second. Look, who’s that beside him?"
"Fuck me. Thats the leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College, young master Zhao!"
"Even master Zhao has come. Everyone knows that his strengths are in Chinese antithetical couplets. Within the entire city, nobody can match him in couplets!"
"That’s right. Everyone has said that young master Zhao is the king of couplets!"
"His reputation is entirely befitting of him! I didn’t expect Madam Ya to invite the pair of them here!"
"Hehe... I guess it must be because of Flaming Sun Princess! If not, they wouldn’t make an appearance just like that!"
"We are extremely blessed today. During the banquet tonight, we will be able to witness the two greats showing off their skills!"
In a second, the attention of everyone present had turned to the pair of them and broke out in animated discussion.
Xu Que turned his head to look at the both of them as well. They wore long robes and were walking across the bridge. Their faces were extremely good looking as they walked in dignified strides. There was a certain unspoken confidence and scholarly aura about the pair of them!
Even Madam Ya smiled when she saw them as she whispered to Xu Que, "Young mister Li, these pair of students are extremely talented and aren’t any less talented than you!"
Xu Que’s eyebrows twitched as he sighed out and shook his head, "Ai, I didn’t expect Madam Ya to be someone like that!"
Madam Ya paused in shock, what did he mean?
Me? What sort of person am I?
All of a sudden, Madam Ya could feel a sense of hurt and betrayal within Xu Que’s eyes.
Xu Que raised his head and replied solemnly, "I hope you wouldn’t look at me through the eyes of a secular world. I am just not someone who relies on my good looks to get by. I know that my handsome face has long overshadowed my talents. But there will come a day where I shall show everyone how talented I am!" As he finished speaking, Xu Que then turned around and walked into Madam Ya’s compound.
Madam Ya was completely floored by this statement.
After several seconds, Madam Ya then understood Xu Que’s meaning and broke out in a fit of giggles. She then shook her head, "This kid is really too interesting! He’s been praising himself for being too good looking the entire time!"
However, she felt that Xu Que’s performance today was rather unexpected.
There were many students within the capital city but most of them were only capable in studying and didn’t know much about being flexible.
That was the reason Madam Ya would set these two stages in order to become a VIP to her events. Also, the questions were different everyday. This was the first time anyone was able to solve these questions effortlessly. She had never seen a student quite like him. He had such a lofty and carefree demeanor about him, with that smile on the corner of his lips. This made Madam Ya think of the way he behaved throughout the entire test.
"Later on during the banquet, we shall see who’s the most talented out of the three of you!"
