Confusion (1)

Their goal was to make the Thirteenth Young Master look foolish. Ostensibly, it was to avenge the "Maiden of Snow" from before, but in reality, they were just using that as an excuse to prank the Thirteenth Young Master, who was so lucky it made people jealous.

Because of this, they felt that activities like quizzes were the best way to make the Thirteenth Young Master look bad. So, when the Thirteenth Young Master said he would perform a talent, they schemed to get him into the quiz event.

Upon hearing this, Tiger Girl, standing nearby, merely smiled without any intention of stopping them. She wanted to watch the show, but her idea of watching the show was completely opposite to everyone else's. She wasn't watching the Thirteenth Young Master being put on the spot; she was watching those who wanted to prank him.

Don't forget, although the Thirteenth Young Master was very slow-witted, his memory was extraordinary. He had devoured books since childhood, and in terms of pure knowledge, he was second to none in the entire academy.

However, this was something very few people knew. Besides Tiger Girl and Ye Lanyu, most people only knew that his Alchemy knowledge was strong, as he was studying Alchemy after all.

Later, when the random quiz rounds began, the Thirteenth Young Master was far ahead of the second-place contestant, which shocked many.

This result made people suspect cheating. After testing, it was found that the data was absolutely real and reliable. This outcome shamed many people. It was one thing to lose to someone else, but they had lost to someone everyone acknowledged as an idiot. They found this difficult to accept.

Therefore, those who remained began to fight with full attention. In the second and final round, they started asking questions they considered obscure and that no one would know.

The rule for this round was that participants would pose questions, and whoever answered the most correctly would win.

However, when these people asked their questions, they followed their usual habit of asking knowledge-based questions. So, even if they asked obscure questions, the Thirteenth Young Master still had a chance to know them.

As a result, in this round, the Thirteenth Young Master answered two questions correctly. However, others also answered a maximum of two questions, while the lowest scored zero. Setting aside the preliminary round results, based on this alone, the Thirteenth Young Master could definitely qualify for subsequent activities.

Of course, for the sake of ranking, everyone continued to use another method to calculate: seeing who answered the most questions correctly, and whose questions were answered correctly the least by others.

At this point, everyone was astonished to discover that no one could answer the Thirteenth Young Master's question correctly. His question wasn't particularly difficult; anyone could have answered it, yet no one did.

The question was: A fool walks down the road and sees a gold coin and a silver coin on the ground. Which will the fool pick up?

Some answered, "Of course, the gold coin. Even a fool knows to pick up the gold coin." Others answered, "The silver coin, because the fool doesn't know."

"Wrong! Of course, he'll pick up both the gold and silver coins. Even a fool knows to take everything. You people are more foolish than a fool!" When the Thirteenth Young Master announced the answer, the faces of those who had answered were as ugly as could be, wishing they could crawl into a hole.

It would have been one thing if others had said this, but to be told this by someone they considered an idiot was truly unbearable.

At this moment, the crowd below erupted in laughter. Although they had also chosen between the gold and silver coins just moments ago, they hadn't made their choice, so they could laugh with impunity.

In fact, similar things had happened several times, but no one had paid attention, thinking it was just a coincidence. Because of this, a group of people who considered themselves smart had been tricked by this little fool, the Thirteenth Young Master, countless times, yet they never learned their lesson and kept coming back for more.

"Young Master, your question was a bit misleading. The way you phrased it made people think they could only choose one," Tiger Girl said afterward, suppressing a smile.

"Did I?" The Thirteenth Young Master thought for a moment, then continued, "I didn't say they could only choose one; they could choose multiple. Besides, the answer should be obvious. I originally wanted to ask the simplest question, but why are they so stupid?"

"..."

...A scorching summer day is a time of unpredictable weather. The sky can change from bright sunshine to overcast skies with thunder and rain at any moment.

This day was no different. The Thirteenth Young Master couldn't go home due to the sudden change in weather and had to stay at the palace. At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning tore through it.

"Ye Lang, you'll stay here tonight. I'll sleep with you," the Seventh Princess said with a smile.

"You can stay, but we can't sleep together. We're not married yet," the Thirteenth Young Master said slowly.

"Hehe, what's the difference? We're still young, and we can't do anything. It's normal to sleep together. Didn't you often sleep with your sister before?" the Seventh Princess said with a smile. Of course, she was just teasing and didn't really intend to sleep with the Thirteenth Young Master.

"She's my sister," the Thirteenth Young Master replied.

"What about Tiger Girl?" the Seventh Princess asked playfully. She knew that for a long time, the Thirteenth Young Master had slept in the same bed as Tiger Girl. However, they were both very young then, and there was no issue.

"Back then, I had to be with her. Now, I don't. She only stays with me when I'm sick," the Thirteenth Young Master replied. After they turned ten, they slept in separate beds, except when the Thirteenth Young Master needed care, Tiger Girl would sleep beside him.

Speaking of Tiger Girl, she seemed a bit unwell today and was resting at home. Since the Thirteenth Young Master was personally invited by the Seventh Princess, who promised to take good care of him, she reluctantly agreed to let him visit the palace.

The Seventh Princess would also often take the Thirteenth Young Master out to play, whether it was shopping or sightseeing. Of course, they also visited the palace or the Ye Family. No matter the situation, Tiger Girl would usually be by the Thirteenth Young Master's side.

Today was a bit unusual, and it was precisely because of this unusual circumstance that an accident occurred, which should not have happened. It would make Tiger Girl never want to let the Thirteenth Young Master out of her sight again.

"Ye Lang, I've finished bathing. Now it's your turn..." The Seventh Princess, wearing a thin nightgown, was drying her slightly wet hair with a towel. Her skin, nourished by the water, appeared incredibly alluring. She only allowed her personal maids and the Thirteenth Young Master to see her like this.

She was generally not reserved around the Thirteenth Young Master and acted very casually and naturally in front of him.

"Huh? Where is he?"

After she finished bathing, it was supposed to be the Thirteenth Young Master's turn, but she couldn't find him.

Xiao Xiao wants to ask weakly, can I have some recommendation votes?
