Chapter 1352 - 1352: Showing His Edge

Therefore, he naturally accepted Xiao Jingyu’s grateful gaze.
Lin Yuelan chuckled and said,” High Priest, you flatter me!”
She thought to himself, ‘This person is the one who caused Xinyue to be unable to be a princess, but could only wander about and fall into the hands of others as a slave. Looking at his amiable yet secretive face, he is indeed a sinister and cunning person. No wonder Xin Yue couldn’t beat him.’
Liang Renhui didn’t say anything to Lin Yuelan. Instead, he said to the
Emperor who was sitting high up,” Your Majesty, I’ve long heard that the Longyan Kingdom is full of talents. Unfortunately, I met an old man on my way to the Longyan Kingdom. He gave me a difficult question that I couldn’t understand no matter how hard I thought about it!
“Therefore, I would like to ask the Longyan Kingdom’s ability and the people present to help me solve it!”
When they heard Liang Renhui’s words, they knew that this person was actually here to make things difficult for Longyan Kingdom.
However, since he was a guest, Yuwen Longyan couldn’t reject him. He just said, “Oh, I see. It was said that the High Priest of Aduo Chai was extremely intelligent and resourceful. It was not difficult for him to solve ordinary problems.
“However, if the High Priest is facing a problem that even he can’t solve, then it might really be a big problem.
“The High Priest might as well say it and let everyone present think of a way.
There was strength in numbers. Perhaps it could really be solved!”
However, everyone’s expression was tightly knitted.
Lin Yuelan was eating grapes. Her sharp gaze swept across everyone present. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It was very interesting.
For modern people, this question was a simple math question. However, for ancient people who were limited in this aspect, this was a difficult question.
Lin Yuelan was eating her food casually when she saw them frowning.
Lin Yuelan’s nonchalant attitude was seen by many people present, such as the Emperor, Empress Chen, Consort Liu De, Consort Wang Shu, and the leaders of the diplomatic corps. Of course, Liang Renhui, who was the one who set the questions, saw it too.
Consort Liu’s eyes flashed, and then the corners of her mouth curled up at an imperceptible angle as if she had another plan.
The empress knew that Lin Yuelan had a well-thought-out plan just by looking at her appearance.
Therefore, she heaved a sigh of relief.
On the surface, the High Priest of the Aduo Chai Kingdom was dealt with by everyone, but his main purpose was to make things difficult for the Longyan Kingdom.
This was because there were only a few foreign guests present. All the important people of Longyan Country, as well as the talented and knowledgeable officials of the imperial court, were here.
Therefore, if the question he set were not solved, the Longyan Kingdom would be the only one to lose face.
After an unknown period of time, many people shook their heads. It was obvious that there was no solution.
Liang Renhui said,” May I know how you can resolve this? Please respond so that I can reply to that old man!”
