Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Is the answer to the riddle played down by Lao Ai?"

The maid was holding a small stick of sandalwood in her hand, ready to use it to time Lin Yi\'s answer before she even lit it up.

"Young master\'s answer is correct! The answer to the riddle was the word "downplay"! Congratulations to the young master for winning!"

The palace maid smiled and bowed to Lin Yi. She put away the incense and lit the candle.

Not far away, the people who had noticed the start of the challenge wanted to come over to see the situation. However, just as they took their first step, the outcome was already decided!

Lin Yi\'s opponent was dumbfounded-he\'d only just seen the riddle, and you\'d already solved it!

So, you already knew the answer to the riddle and deliberately came to trick me?

Lin Yi smiled faintly and cupped his hands at the confused face of his opponent."Thanks for letting me win!"

"Brother Sima is amazing, I admit defeat!"

The man came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed in return, his face revealing an expression of heartfelt admiration.""I wish brother Sima to continue to advance triumphantly and win all the way!"

In fact, it was a good thing to lose like this. At least it was better than the two groups of people who couldn\'t answer the question and died together!

"Many thanks!"

Lin Yi had won, so he had to show the grace of a winner. He couldn\'t leave in a hurry to find a new opponent.

Of course, it would be even better if the two of them were willing to continue the competition. Unfortunately, it was obvious that they were prepared to go as far away as possible!

The surrounding people saw that Lin Yi solved the riddle in an instant and felt that it wasn\'t that difficult. They dispersed and quickly pulled in people to challenge it.

Lin Yi was hoping for someone to challenge him, but no one came up.

This is awkward!

Lin Yi\'s reaction to the riddle was seen by everyone, and although it gave the impression that the riddle wasn\'t that difficult, it also gave people the impression that Lin Yi was a master.

With Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu\'s infamous names, these people didn\'t want to mess with them for the time being, so they all avoided them tacitly.

"Cousin Zhong da, what should we do now?"

Liu Ziyu didn\'t know what to do. If this continued, would he have to learn the sure-win method that the person had just mentioned?

Thinking about it carefully, it didn\'t seem impossible. As long as cousin Zhong da could guess the answer correctly, wouldn\'t it be good for him to contribute his own points?

"Why don\'t the two of us go and challenge him, cousin Zhong da?"

Liu Ziyu put his thoughts into action and had already begun to look for lanterns that no one had challenged.

"What are you thinking? What\'s the point of our internal friction?"

Lin Yi pulled Liu Ziyu along and walked towards Liu Zimei, who was challenging a lantern with another person.

They were just about to challenge Lin Yi when he came over and smiled at the maid."I also want to participate in the challenge!"

Liu Zimei\'s face darkened a little. Yes, the lower limit for challenging the same lantern was two people, so there was no limit.

However, they had already agreed on a two-person challenge, so what was the meaning of this?

The people present basically had a tacit understanding. It was all a two-person competition. Anyway, there were many lanterns, so there was no need to be afraid of not having a chance to challenge. The chances of winning and losing were 50 - 50.

And if it was a three-person battle, then it would become a one-third chance of winning. The more people there were, the lower the chance of winning. However, the profit of winning would not change, still only one point!

"Sima Zhong da, we\'re about to begin! Can\'t you find someone else somewhere else?"

Liu Zimei didn\'t think that Lin Yi would win for sure, but he didn\'t want any accidents to happen either. He opened his mouth, wanting to get Lin Yi to leave.

Lin Yi ignored him and turned to the maid, "There\'s no problem if I join, right?"

"Of course!" The palace maid smiled sweetly. Then let\'s start now!"

Before he finished speaking, the veil covering the lantern had been pulled down, revealing the riddle on the lantern.

"Wait! If he wants to participate, then I won \'t!"

Liu Zimei subconsciously wanted to back out-he didn\'t feel safe being with Lin Yi.

"I\'m sorry, young master. The mystery has been solved. If you don\'t participate now, it\'s equivalent to giving up the competition in advance. Two points will be deducted. Do you want to quit?"

The palace maid was very polite, but her words made Liu Zimei dumbfounded. Was there such a rule?

As long as one wasn\'t a fool, they would know that the only way was to continue competing. After all, losing would only earn them one point.

"Extreme joy begets sorrow!"

Lin Yi said indifferently. Liu Zimei thought,"what\'s wrong with me?"

I\'ve never been happy, okay?

If he wanted to ridicule her, he should at least do something meaningful. What was the point of this?

Liu Zimei glared at Lin Yi, but Lin Yi didn\'t even bother with him. He continued to smile at the palace maid,"Is this correct?"

The answer?

The answer!

Liu Zimei was instantly dumbfounded. I haven\'t even seen the riddle clearly, and you\'re already telling me the answer?

He quickly looked up and saw the words "Kongtong song ends with green clothes wet" written on the lantern!

After pondering for a while, wasn\'t it just extreme joy turning into sorrow!

He grabbed a blade of grass!啊啊啊啊!

Liu Zimei did not feel good!

The palace maid bowed with a smile,"congratulations young master for answering the lantern riddles correctly. One point added!" The other two young masters will each be deducted one point!"

Liu Zimei and the other passerby who had been a bystander the entire time looked at each other in confusion. Their points were deducted just like that? What had happened?

"You let me win, you let me win!"

Lin Yi smiled and cupped his hands. He stepped aside and activated his super butterfly microsteps, dashing towards his next target.

This was the time when most people were looking for opponents to compete with, and Lin Yi had to use this chance to get more points. Otherwise, if they were all prepared, it would be useless to suddenly join in!

"I\'ll join too!"

Liu Zimei was still in a state of confusion when Lin Yi appeared beside another group\'s lantern.

This side was also about to reveal the mystery, and before it was opened, they could join in!

The veil fell down and Lin Yi immediately got the answer,"General Fubo!"

The two people who were originally going to challenge him were immediately like Liu Zimei\'s team. They were dumbfounded and fell into an atmosphere of doubting their lives!

At this time, they had just seen the riddle on the lantern, which indicated the low tide of three thousand crossbows!

"Congratulations, young master, your answer is correct!"

The palace maid in charge of the lanterns actually didn\'t have much time to react. She could only make an instinctive judgment after hearing the answer!

Lin Yi harvested a point, and the two passers-by were still in a daze, not even noticing that both of them had a point deducted. Then, Lin Yi disappeared in a flash.

Everything happened so quickly that the people around them didn\'t even have time to react.
