Looking at Luo Ming's aggressive eyes, Ying Wuji understood that he was a real troublemaker, full of fighting spirit.

Putting aside grudges, he couldn't let himself get entangled with him.

Even if he won the argument, it would be of no use.

He cleared his throat lightly, "Alright! I will tell you my thoughts later. You only need to answer whether I guessed right or wrong. If I guessed right, you must promise not to bother me again, or I may have a short life."

"Okay! Hurry up and say it. As long as you guess right, I promise not to bother you."

Luo Ming answered eagerly, not believing that Ying Wuji could guess his thoughts.

Others also looked over curiously, wanting to see if this hostage from Kingdom Qian could see through the thoughts of a rising star.

"A gentleman's word?"

"Difficult to catch up with a galloping horse!"

"Okay! I will say it. You only need to answer whether I guessed right or wrong!"

"I got it. Can you hurry up?"

Luo Ming was a little impatient. He didn't expect Ying Wuji to be so long-winded.

Ying Wuji smiled, "I guess you're thinking...no matter what I say, you will say I guessed wrong!"

"Hahaha!"

Luo Ming laughed contemptuously, "You guessed wrong. I was actually thinking..."

He paused.

If I say he guessed wrong, wouldn't that be what he expected?

So he quickly changed his words, "You guessed right..."

He quickly stopped himself again. If he said he guessed right, wouldn't that mean he actually guessed right?

This...

For a moment, his mind was confused, and he was sure there was a trap, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Ying Wuji didn't give him time to think, and pushed him aside, disgustedly saying, "Alright! I don't have time to play with you. I want to listen to music. Don't bother me!"

"You..."

Luo Ming was angry, but for a moment he couldn't think of how to refute him, and could only sulk back to his seat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he felt a flash of inspiration in his head and ran back quickly, "I got it! You guessed wrong, and you really guessed wrong, not because I said I guessed wrong no matter what you said. That was close! I almost fell into your trap!"

After speaking, he looked at Ying Wuji with a smug expression.

But to his surprise, Ying Wuji looked at him with disdain, "First you said I guessed wrong, then you said I guessed right, and now you're talking nonsense that no one can understand. You said three things, which one was true? You changed your answer three times just to win the argument. You're shameless, and we can't be compared!"Luo Ming choked: "You, you... clearly it was you who dug the pit for me to jump! My last words were what I truly thought, don't try to argue with me."

Ying Wuji sneered: "Anyway, I can't dig out your heart to prove it to everyone. You can say whatever you want, but you gave three different answers in a row. Everyone saw it! If you want to prove that I'm wrong, you have to prove that you didn't lie. Is that right, everyone?"

"Right!"

"Right!"

"Right!"

Everyone present were young masters from prestigious families, the kind who enjoyed watching the show without getting involved in the actual matter. If it involved taking sides, they might help Luo Ming, but now it was obviously just two people bickering, and no one wanted to get involved.

Luo Ming stuttered, he never thought that one day he would be forced to prove that what he said was what he truly thought. But how could he prove it?@@novelbin@@

He clutched his chest, feeling suffocated.

Ying Wuji yawned and pointed to the figure behind the screen: "Alright, Brother Luo, Miss Hua Chao are waiting behind the screen. You're still arguing about this nonsense. Sit down and listen to the music."

Luo Ming sat down, and he exchanged a glance with Ji Su, both of them could see each other's flushed face.

Tsk!

Two hot-headed young men.

It was just a mortal-level technique, but in this era where "the character reflects the person", it was quite practical.

Ying Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Luo Ming, this little bickerer, had a pretty sharp mind. He found the loophole in the problem so quickly, but unfortunately, he was outmatched. Damn it, this bickerer was a bit dangerous, he had to stay away from him in the future.

Everyone saw the dust settle on this matter and felt quite fulfilled. This show was quite exciting, especially seeing the rising star of the prestigious family being bickered to silence, it was so satisfying.

Bai Zhi sat next to Ying Wuji, her eyes full of stars as she looked at him.

Ying Wuji asked: "What are you looking at me for?"

Bai Zhi whispered: "Young master is amazing!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

At this time, a soft laughter came from behind the screen.

"The little lady has not played the music yet, but I have been lucky enough to hear such a wonderful debate from everyone."

Miss Hua Chao's voice was very pleasant to the ears, her mature voice made people feel itchy inside.She arrived after Ji Su was forced to sit down, and listened to Ying Wuji and Luo Ming's debate all the way through. Although she felt that these young masters were a bit childish in their love for fighting, she couldn't deny that there was a refreshing feeling.

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Since the young lady admires me so much, why not allow me to listen to the music behind the screen?"

Although she couldn't see Hua Chao's appearance through the screen, the light and shadow reflected on the screen were graceful and beautiful. As long as her appearance wasn't too ugly, she could definitely be considered a beauty.

Miss Hua Chao smiled lightly, "The debating skills of the young master are awe-inspiring. However, this young lady is ignorant and shallow, and besides poetry and music, I am unable to fully understand the young master's talents. I am truly ashamed."

Her words were quite beautiful.

In the Yihong Pavilion, Miss Hua Chao's rule was that only those who could move her with their talents and present her with poems, songs, or essays could listen to the music behind the screen.

Although his debating skills couldn't move her, she attributed the reason to herself and politely refused.

Miss Hua Chao added, "How about this? This young lady will play a song as a thank you to the young master. Please don't take offense!"

Ying Wuji naturally didn't insist and smiled, "Since that's the case, please go ahead, young lady!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Luo Ming, only to see him staring intently at the screen, as if he wanted to do something.

Wait.

Luo Ming was the youngest son of the Prime Minister. If Hua Chao was really the Prime Minister's illegitimate daughter, then these two were siblings.

Ying Wuji frowned slightly, feeling that this Luo Ming might ruin his plan.

Just as he was pondering, a beautiful sound of strings came from behind the screen.

It was like a lingering fairy sound, playing with people's emotions.

It was gentle but not vulgar, and extremely beautiful.
