nChapter 342: The Stone Tablet’s Question (2)

nXue Fanxin now understood that as long as she answered the questions on the stone tablet correctly, the danger here would decrease a little.

nA new question had appeared on the stone tablet. This time, it was not a math problem but a riddle. It said: There are ten birds on a tree. If you use an arrow to shoot one down, how many birds will there be on the tree?

nEveryone could read the question. Yi Fentian was the closest to the stone tablet. He said confidently, “Nine, of course.”

nOnce he spoke, the words on the stone tablet turned into a red light, which scattered and transformed into red lightning that struck down from the sky. Even more cracks appeared on the ground. One of the bolts almost hit someone.

nClearly, Yi Fentian’s answer was wrong.

nThe outcome was difficult for Yi Fentian to accept. Even now, he did not understand why his answer was wrong. He even said self-righteously, “Isn’t there still nine left after shooting down one out of ten? What’s wrong?”

n

nMany people in the four great families were puzzled. They felt Yi Fentian’s answer made sense. Only a few people thought that the answer would not be that simple.

nXue Hanxi said leisurely, “There should be none left.”

nYi Fentian was unconvinced and retorted, “Nonsense.”

n“He’s right,” Xue Fanxin said coldly. “The remaining nine would have flown away, and not a single bird would be left on the tree.”

n

nEveryone came to a realization. They looked at Yi Fentian strangely as if to say, “You don’t even know such simple logic. How stupid.”

nYi Fentian had been humiliated by Xue Fanxin time and again. He endured it so far because he felt guilty towards her. However, she was now getting on his nerves.

nYet there was nothing he could do. Did he have to fight Xue Fanxin?

nIf he really attacked, he would probably be in an even more miserable state. Even if he could win against Xue Fanxin, could he beat Ye Jiushang and that powerful young man?

nA new question appeared on the stone tablet. This time, it was a historical question: What is the name of the First Emperor of Qin?

nThis question stumped everyone. Even Xue Hanxi did not understand the meaning of this question at all. He looked at Xue Fanxin and waited for her to answer.

n

n

nXue Fanxin replied, “Ying Zheng.”

nThe words on the stone tablet turned into golden light and scattered. Then, the cracks on the ground reduced again.

nTo be able to answer such a confusing question, Xue Fanxin was really impressive.

nWhile the people of the four great clans were marveling at her intelligence, Yi Fentian had many doubts. He was increasingly certain that the person in front of him was not the Xue Fanxin he knew.

nIf this person was not her, where had the real Xue Fanxin gone?

nYi Fentian was almost certain that Xue Fanxin was not the Xue Fanxin he knew. He needed to investigate properly where the real her was.

nNo matter what, he had to find the real Xue Fanxin. If she was alive, he wanted to see her; if she was dead, he wanted to see her corpse.

n

n

nXue Fanxin did not know what Yi Fentian was thinking and continued to answer the questions on the stone tablet.

nThe later questions were more modern than the previous ones. Only when it was the tenth question did the people from the four great clans understand a little.

n“What is in the coffin within the coffin in the grave of Shui Qianrou in the Red Maple Forest?”

nEveryone knew the answer to this question, but no one answered. When they saw it, they felt frightened.
