Translator: 549690339
The speed of Yang Zhen’s sword was so swift that no one present managed to react in time.
By the time they came to their senses, the wooden tag had been split into two pieces.
The half that was chopped off fell to the ground with a thud, startling everyone into looking at Yang Zhen with shock.
“This is outrageous! This is utterly outrageous! He dared to cut Big Sister’s question tag in two. I don’t care whether you are Yang Baba or not, no one in Xiushan City can protect your life anymore!”
Young Master Liang pointed at Yang Zhen angrily, shaking uncontrollably as his grip on his orchid finger trembled.
“Exactly, this is way too reckless. If you can’t answer the question, then so be it. It’s not like it’s shameful. But to destroy our leader’s question tag over a disagreement, we’re all going to pay for it once our leader gets furious.”
“Fellow members, Yang Baba is treating us with contempt. Why don’t we capture him and apologize to our leader? What do you say?”
Everyone was outraged, and they took turns berating Yang Zhen. The seller, sensing the change in situation, had long since slipped away. He hid in the crowd, watching Yang Zhen with a look of trepidation. His rat-like face had turned pale.
As a stranger, the seller had no obligation to put himself in danger because of an idea proposed by Yang Zhen. Nevertheless, he was shocked at how audacious Yang Zhen had been to even shatter the question tag of the leader.
Yang Zhen glanced at everyone and scoffed: “With your intelligence, you dare to tag along with Big Sister. Do you know how pigs die?”
“What…What does this have to do with how pigs die?” Young Master Liang responded with a cold laugh. “We might not know how pigs die, but we can guess how you will die … How do pigs die again?”
“They die of stupidity!” Yang Zhen marveled at Young Master Liang’s line of thinking. This guy’s curiosity was extraordinarily strong.
“Eh?”
A surprised sound came from the crowd. The seller pushed through the crowd, walked to the broken tag, and exclaimed excitedly: “Everyone, look! Dry!” “Boy, who are you cursing?” Young Master Liang gave a cold snort, looking at the seller with an unfriendly expression. Suddenly, his face changed drastically: “Dry?”
“What?”
“Could it be that…that…this question is not meant to be guessed but to be cut?”
“Silence!” Yang Zhen bellowed, causing everybody to jump.
Impatient, Yang Zhen pointed his Thunderbolt Sword at the word ‘dry’ on the wooden tag and said, “Did I bring this on myself… Don’t you recognize this character?”
“Dry!” The crowd responded in unison.
“What was the question?”
“What’s the fastest way to dry sweat!”
Yang Zhen tapped on the word on the wooden tag and said,”Isn’t this the answer?”
Wow!
Even though they had guessed the result, everyone was still shocked when they heard Yang Zhen’s explanation. Especially those who only understood after his explanation, they were all stunned by Yang Zhen.
“Can…Can we really do it this way?”
“I knew it. This test by Big Sister is really about testing our comprehension!”
“Then why didn’t you do the same?”
“I… I didn’t have a sword!”
The seller looked at Yang Zhen with admiration in his eyes. He reassessed the value of the ‘Five-Year Exam, Three-Year Simulation’ idea and found it much more reliable as he thought about it.
“Amazing, Brother Yang. You’re really incredible.”
“As expected, Yang Baba is indeed the legendary top scholar!”
Yang Zhen beamed with delight. Being a top scholar really felt good, no wonder so many people on the Cerulean Planet were so devoted to studying, all vying for the title of top scholar.
“Who am I?” Yang Zhen shouted loudly.
“Yang Baba!” The crowd cheered in unison. Finally, someone was able to solve the head sister’s question. However, the cheer for Yang Zhen’s one move would last for quite a while.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, “What is our goal?”
“Answering questions!”
“Wrong!”
Crowd:”?????”
Yang Zhen looked around at everyone and said, “Answering questions is just something we, as overachievers, do on the side. Our real goal is…not to have cavity!”
Crowd:”?????”
“Brother Yang, today Liang Kai has truly opened up his eyes. I never knew answering questions could be like this before. I don’t know where Brother Yang comes from or which sect he belongs to, but if you don’t mind, Liang Kai would really like to make friends with you.”
Yang Zhen gave Liang Kai a strange look. Although this man was a bit effeminate, he had a good heart. Yang Zhen replied with a bow and a smile, “I am Yang Zhen from…the Dirty Detachment Gang!”
“Dirty Detachment Gang?” Liang Kai’s expression changed slightly, “What a peculiar name. I’m sorry, I’m not well-read. Please don’t take offense, Brother Yang!”
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. We, the members of the Dirty Detachment Gang, are righteous and honest. We do what we think is right and are not confined by worldly rules. Do you know what our gang leader’s favorite motto is?”
“What is it?” Liang Kai asked excitedly.
“Rules…are meant to be broken!” Yang Zhen said this adamantly, appearing rather serious about it.
Liang Kai and the crowd were taken aback. Liang Kai said, “What a motto, rules are meant to be broken. No wonder Brother Yang is so unique with such extraordinary comprehension. The Dirty Detachment Gang must be an outstanding great sect.”
“You flatter me!” Yang Zhen said, looking modest.
Liang Kai’s eyes lit up, “I wonder if Brother Yang will continue answering questions, to enlighten us further?”
“Of course, however…” Yang Zhen looked at Liang Kai solemnly.
“However, what?”
“Please call me Yang Daddy!”
At Xiushan City inn, the most luxurious guesthouse, a young girl carrying a broad sword hurriedly pushed open a door.
“Big sister, Big sister, something terrible has happened!”
Inside the room, a young woman who was drinking with one foot on a stool, glared with her eyes and said, “Little Huan, didn’t we say that the sky won’t fall as long as tall people are around? What is all this fuss about?”
Little Huan set the sword on the ground with a clunk and took a long breath before she could say, “Big Sister, someone has solved your question.”
The eldest sister had her black hair tied up, and her hair was styled in a stylish bun. Her facial features were sharp, like they were carved by a knife. Her eyes were bigger and brighter than ordinary people. She had a straight-figure, tall and was not slender. She waved her hand indifferently and said,
“What’s the big deal about that? The questions are there, and with so many days passed, it’s not like no one has solved them before. However, most of those are just fortunate coincidences of answering one question correctly. It’s really disappointing.”
Having said that, she took another big gulp from her jug, as if the jug were filled with some kind of divine brew.
Little Huan was taken aback and quickly said, “But Big Sister, this time the question about evaporating the sweat has been solved.”
Spurtt!
The head sister spewed out a string of wine from her mouth mid-drink. The wine inside the pot spilled onto her milky white neck, and she hastily unfastened her collar. She looked surprised at Little Huan, “That question was solved?”
“Yes. Big Sister, didn’t you say that question was one of the hardest among all? But that guy solved it just by a glance. Now it’s creating quite a stir.”
The older sister threw her jug on the table with a bang, turned around, and hurriedly walked out, “Little Huan, come with me to see. And, what’s the name of that person? How old is he?”
“He looks like he’s just in his teens. He said his name is…Yang Baba!”
Bang!
The older sister bumped her head against the door frame and turned back dumbfounded, “What’s the name?”
“He said his name is Yang Baba!”
