Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Yan glanced at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing shut his mouth.
Xu Yan glanced at the two princes, Chu and Jin, who were looking at him anxiously. A hint of helplessness flashed across his face.
Then, he asked someone to get the sixth question.
The questions were brought up, but Xu Yan was not in a hurry to start.
Instead, he looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“The difficulty of the previous five questions is average, but the next five questions are different.”
“If you can’t solve it, 1 suggest you skip it.” Xu Yan said.
After he finished speaking, he looked in Liu Wuji’s direction.
When Xu Qing and Meng Lin heard Xu Yan’s words, they felt much more at ease.
Even the two princes, Chu and Jin, who were anxious and uneasy just now, calmed down and looked at the officials of the Yan Country arrogantly again.
Only the courtiers of the Yan Country were discussing animatedly again.
All of them looked at Xu Yan and the others warily. At the same time, they also looked at Lin Xiaoyue expectantly.
Liu Wuji smiled at Xu Yan and nodded at Lin Xiaoyue.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue look back at Xu Yan.
“Thank you for your reminder, Elder Xu.” She bowed to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan nodded and asked someone to start the questions.
Next, just like before, Liang Cheng started reading the questions for Lin Xiaoyue.
Mo Fei, who was at the side, also looked at the questions while taking notes.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Xiaoyue.
He saw that she was still writing in the small booklet like before.
After listening to the questions, she continued to draw lines in the booklet like before.
At this moment, in the eyes of the courtiers of the Great Yan, Lin Xiaoyue’s booklet seemed to be filled with magic.
They felt that as long as Lin Xiaoyue wrote on it, she would be able to solve it very quickly.
Xu Qing looked at Lin Xiaoyue. Seeing that she was more hesitant than before, he felt a little relieved.
She definitely couldn’t solve it!
The last five questions were personally set by his master, and each of them was extremely difficult.
Even he couldn’t find the solution after reading it.
Compared to Xu Qing, Xu Yan’s expression was solemn.
Previously, he had underestimated this woman.
She was valued by Liu Wuji and was chosen to represent Yan to compete with them. How could her strength be ordinary?
However, it didn’t matter.
The next five questions would be the real showdown between them.
He also wanted to see how many questions Liu Wuji’s people could solve.
Lin Xiaoyue felt that the sixth question was much more difficult than the previous questions.
However, it was still within her capability.
Lin Xiaoyue managed to sort out her train of thought after two more attempts.
Then, she quickly solved the answer.
When Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei saw this, they both admired Lin Xiaoyue.
This time, because they didn’t have a clear train of thought, the two of them couldn’t help Lin Xiaoyue check.
Thus, Lin Xiaoyue actually explained the solution to the two of them on the spot.
After the two of them understood, they checked the results.
After confirming that the three of them had reached the same conclusion, Lin Xiaoyue finally opened her mouth to answer.
As soon as the answer came out, everyone looked at Xu Yan.
Some people wanted to hear Xu Yan announce that the answer was correct, while others wanted to hear that it was wrong.
Unfortunately, the result would only satisfy one side.
“Correct,” Xu Yan said with a serious face. Question 7.”
Instantly, the hall was filled with excitement.
The courtiers of the Great Yan were once again discussing animatedly, feeling happy that they had succeeded just now.
The Sixth Princess also looked at Emperor Yan excitedly.
“1 told you that she would definitely get it right! No one in the world can compare to her in terms of arithmetic!” Her eyes were filled with admiration for Lin Xiaoyue.
Emperor Yan did not frown at the exaggeration in the Sixth Princess’s words. Instead, he smiled and nodded.
That girl was indeed capable!
Xu Qing, who was behind Xu Yan, was grabbing the hem of his clothes.
Because he used too much strength, the veins on the back of his hand almost popped out.
How could this be? She actually got it right again?
The person chosen by the Yan Imperial Advisor was stronger than him in arithmetic, and much stronger…
No, his master was as famous as the Yan’s Imperial Advisor.
As his master’s disciple, how could he be weaker than the other party’s disciple?
It must have been luck that she answered the question correctly again just now! That must be the case!
Also, there were four more difficult questions.
She definitely couldn’t solve them!
Xu Yan frowned.
The others were standing far away, so they might not have seen what happened just now.
However, he was standing not far away from them. He had seen and heard everything that had happened and what they had said..
