When Lin Yi saw it, he was immediately convinced. If it was just a lantern riddle of this level, it really wouldn't be difficult at all!
"Is the answer to that -- an understatement?"
The palace maid held a small piece of sandalwood in her hand, which she originally planned to use for timing. Unexpectedly, before she could light the fire, Lin Yi already had the answer.
"Young Master's answer is correct! The answer to the puzzle is just four words: understatement! Congratulations to the Young Master on your victory!"
The palace maid smiled sweetly, bowed slightly to Lin Yi, put away the sandalwood, and lit the candle in the lantern.
Not far away, I noticed the people who were starting to challenge here and wanted to come over to take a look at the situation, but as soon as they took a step, the winner was already decided!
Lin Yi's opponent looked confused and said to himself, "I just saw the mystery clearly and you revealed the answer!"
So you already knew the answer to the mystery, and did you deliberately try to trick me?
Lin Yi smiled calmly and cupped his hands to his still confused opponent: "I accept!"
"Brother Sima is so awesome, I'm willing to show you his inferiority!"
The man came back to his senses and quickly bowed in return, with a sincere expression on his face: "I wish Brother Sima to continue to make great progress and win all the way!"
In fact, thinking about it, losing a round like this is a good thing. At least it is better than both groups not being able to answer the question and dying together!
"Thank you!"
When Lin Yi wins, he naturally has to show the demeanor of a winner and cannot leave in a hurry to find a new opponent.
Of course, it would be better if these two people were willing to continue the competition, but it's a pity that they are obviously prepared to go as far as they can!
Seeing Lin Yi guess the answer to the riddle instantly, the people around him thought that the riddle was not difficult, so they dispersed and quickly started to invite people to join in the challenge.
Lin Yi also hoped that someone would challenge him, but no one came.
This is embarrassing!
Lin Yi's performance of instantly guessing the lantern riddle just now was noticed by others. Although it gave people the illusion that the lantern riddle was not difficult, it also gave people the impression that Lin Yi was an expert.
In addition, because of Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu's evil reputation, these people did not want to provoke them yet, so they all avoided them in a tacit understanding.
"Cousin Zhongda, what should we do now?"
Liu Ziyu was a little at a loss. If this continues, will he learn the winning method that the man just said?
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible. As long as cousin Zhongda can guess the answer correctly, wouldn't it be great for him to contribute his own points?
"Otherwise, cousin Zhongda, why don't we two challenge him?"
Liu Ziyu did it as soon as she thought of it, and started looking for a lantern somewhere that no one would challenge.
"What are you thinking about? What's the point of internal friction among ourselves?"
Lin Yi pulled Liu Ziyu and walked straight towards Liu Zimei not far away. The guy was preparing to challenge a lantern with another person.
Just as they were saying they wanted to challenge, Lin Yi came over at the right time and said to the palace maid next to him with a smile: "I also want to participate in the challenge!"
Liu Zimei's face turned a little dark. Yes, the minimum limit for challenging the same lantern is two people. There is nothing wrong with not setting an upper limit.
But here it was agreed that the two of them would challenge, what do you mean by suddenly jumping out?
Everyone present basically has a tacit understanding. It is a competition between two people. Anyway, there are many lanterns, so I am not afraid that there will be no chance of challenge. If two people compete, the probability of winning or losing is half.
If three people compete, the winning rate becomes one-third. The more people there are, the lower the chance of winning, but the profit from winning will not change, it is still only one point!
"Sima Zhongda, we are about to start the competition! Can you go find someone else somewhere else?"
Liu Zimei didn't think Lin Yi would definitely win, but she didn't expect any surprises, so she spoke directly and wanted to send Lin Yi away.
Lin Yi ignored him and asked the palace maid next to him: "Is it okay if I join in?"
The palace maid smiled sweetly: "Of course, no problem! Let's start now!"
Before he finished speaking, the gauze covering the lantern had been pulled down, revealing the mystery on the lantern.
"Wait! If he wants to participate, I won't!"
Liu Zimei subconsciously wanted to quit. Being with Lin Yi, he always felt uneasy.
"I'm sorry, young master, the mystery has been revealed. If you don't participate now, it will be equivalent to giving up the competition early, and you will be punished if no one answers the correct answer! Two points will be deducted. Do you want to withdraw?"
The palace maid was very polite, but the words she said made Liu Zimei dumbfounded. Is there such a rule?
Anyone who is not stupid knows that the only choice now is to continue participating in the competition. After all, losing is only one point.
"Extreme joy brings sorrow!"
Lin Yi spoke calmly, Liu Zimei thought to herself: Why am I so happy that I become so sad?
I've never had fun, okay?!
Is it interesting to make fun of someone and make something meaningful?
Liu Zimei glared at Lin Yi with resentment, but Lin Yi ignored him at all and still looked at the palace maid with a smile and asked: "Is this answer correct?"
Answer?!
Answer!!!
Liu Zimei was stunned for a moment, why the hell are you telling me the answer before I can even see the riddle?
I quickly looked up and saw what was written on the lantern - The blue shirt gets wet at the end of the song!
If you think about it for a moment, wouldn’t it be true that extreme joy leads to sorrow?
I caught a piece of grass! Ahhhhh!
Liu Zimei felt bad all over!
The palace maid smiled and bowed: "Congratulations to the young master for answering the lantern riddle correctly, one point will be added! The other two young masters will deduct one point each!"
Liu Zimei and another passerby A who was cheating the whole time looked at each other in confusion, so they were deducted points? What happened?
"Promise, accept, accept!"
Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands. He made a mistake with his foot, and his figure flashed. He actually took a super butterfly step and rushed towards the next target quickly.
At this time, most people are looking for opponents to compete with each other. Lin Yi must take the opportunity to get more points, otherwise he will be on guard for a while, and the sudden intervention method may be useless!
"I'll join in too!"
Liu Zimei was still confused, but Lin Yi had already arrived at the lanterns of another group of people at lightning speed.
The mystery is about to be revealed here, so you can join in before it opens!
When the gauze fell, Lin Yi took a quick look and instantly had the answer: "General Fu Bo!"
The two people who were originally going to challenge suddenly looked as confused as Liu Zimei, and fell into an atmosphere of doubt about life!
At this time, they had just seen the mystery on the lantern clearly - three thousand powerful crossbows were fired at a low tide!
"Congratulations, sir, the answer is correct!"
The palace maid in charge of the lantern here actually didn't know how to react. She could only make an instinctive judgment after hearing the answer!
Lin Yi gained a point. The two passers-by continued to be confused and did not even notice that they were both deducted a point. Then, Lin Yi disappeared as soon as their eyes blurred.
Things happened so fast here that no one around them had time to react.
