Their aim was to make Thirteen look bad, ostensibly to vent the anger over that girl of the snow, but in reality, they were just playing along, wanting to prank Thirteen, who was so lucky that everyone envied him.
Therefore, they thought that clever quizzes and the like were the most embarrassing for Thirteen, so when Thirteen said he was going to perform, they found a way to get him to the quiz event.
Tiger girl only smiled and did not stop them. She wanted to watch a show, but her idea of watching a show was completely different from others; she was not watching Thirteen being embarrassed, but was observing those who wanted to make a fool of Thirteen.
Don't forget, although Thirteen was foolish, his memory was extraordinary. Since childhood, he had read extensively, and in terms of pure knowledge, he was second to none among the students in the entire Academy, perhaps only next to someone.
However, very few people knew about this, except Tiger girl and Ye Lanyu; apart from that, most people knew him for his strong alchemical knowledge, after all, he was studying alchemy.
Later, during the random quiz rounds, Thirteen was far ahead in the first place, which surprised many people.
This result made people suspect if he was cheating, but after testing, it was found that the data was absolutely reliable. This result made many people feel ashamed; losing to someone was one thing, but losing to a fool and an idiot, made them unable to accept it.
As a result, those who had not been eliminated fought with all their might. In the final round, they began to come up with some questions that they considered offbeat and believed that no one would know the answers to.
The rule for this round was for participants to ask questions and see who could answer the most.
However, when these people asked questions, they asked them according to their own habits, so even though they considered their questions unconventional, Thirteen still had a chance to know the answers.
As a result, Thirteen answered two questions correctly in this round, while most others also only answered two, with the least being unable to answer any. Leaving aside the results of the preliminary rounds, Thirteen absolutely deserved to enter the final round on the basis of this performance.
Of course, for the sake of rankings, everyone still used other methods to calculate, looking at the person who answered the fewest questions answered correctly.
At this point, everyone was shocked to find that no one was able to answer any of Thirteen's questions correctly. His questions were not particularly difficult, and anyone could answer them, yet not a single person got them right.
The question was as follows: A fool walks down the road, sees a gold coin and a silver coin on the ground, which one does he pick up? Some answered the gold coin, because even a fool would know to pick the gold coin, while others said the silver coin because a fool wouldn't know.
"Wrong! Of course, take all the gold and silver coins. Even a fool knows that, you guys are even dumber than fools!" Thirteen Young Master announced the answer, and the faces of those people became as ugly as they could be, as if they wanted to find a hole to hide in.
If it had been someone else saying this, it would have been somewhat better, but being called out by someone they considered a fool was just too hard for them to accept.
At this moment, the people below started laughing, though just before they were also choosing between gold and silver coins, but since they hadn't made a choice, they could laugh legitimately.
In fact, similar situations had occurred a few times before, but no one had paid attention, thinking it was just a coincidence. It was because of this that a bunch of self-proclaimed clever people had been played by Thirteen Young Master, and they still didn't learn their lesson, coming forward one after another to court humiliation.
"Young Master, the question you just asked was a bit misleading, it made people think they could only choose one." Hu Niu said with a suppressed smile afterward.
"Really?" Thirteen Young Master thought for a moment and then continued, "I didn't say they could only choose one, they could choose multiple, and the answer doesn't even need to be said, I wanted to ask the simplest question, but why are they so foolish."
......On this scorching summer day, the weather was unpredictable, it could change at any moment, from bright sunshine to overcast sky, with continuous thunderstorms.
This was the case on this particular day. Thirteen Young Master couldn't go home because of the sudden change in weather, so he had to stay in the palace. At that time, peals of thunder could be heard in the sky, and lightning bolts tore through the sky.
"Yelang, you can stay here today, I'll sleep with you," Seventh Princess said with a smile.
"Staying is fine, but we can't sleep together. We haven't even gotten married yet," Thirteen Young Master said slowly.
"Hehe, what's the big deal? We're still young, and we can't do anything, it's normal to sleep together. Weren't you always sleeping with your sister before?" Seventh Princess laughed, teasingly. Of course, she was just joking, not actually wanting to sleep with Thirteen Young Master.
"She's my sister," Thirteen Young Master said.
"What about Hu Niu?" Seventh Princess asked playfully, knowing that for a long time, Thirteen Young Master used to sleep with Hu Niu, although they were both young back then, so it wasn't a problem.
"I used to be with her, but not anymore. She only stays with me when I'm sick," Thirteen Young Master replied. After they turned ten, they slept separately, except when Thirteen Young Master needed to be taken care of, she would sleep beside him.
As for Hu Niu, she seemed a bit unwell and was resting at home today. Because Seventh Princess had personally brought Thirteen Young Master over and promised to take good care of him, Hu Niu reluctantly let him come to the palace to play.
Seventh Princess would always take Thirteen Young Master out for fun, shopping, or sightseeing, either at the palace or at the Yeh family's place, and in any situation, Hu Niu used to be by Thirteen Young Master's side.
Today was a bit different, and it was because of this slight difference that an unexpected incident occurred, one that shouldn't have happened, making Hu Niu never want Thirteen Young Master to leave her side.
"Yelang, I've finished bathing, now it's your turn..." Seventh Princess, wearing a thin nightdress, was drying her slightly damp hair with a towel. Her skin, moisturized by the water, looked enticing. This side of her was only visible to her personal maid and Thirteen Young Master.
She was usually very casual and relaxed in front of Thirteen Young Master.
"Where is he?"
Originally, after she finished bathing, it was supposed to be Thirteen Young Master's turn, but she couldn't find him anywhere.
