"It's just that this friend has not been in Chang'an City recently..."
"Oh..." Zhi Tang whispered, his disappointment palpable. But she didn't seem to be discouraged and continued: "When your friend comes back, could you please inform Miss Zheng?"
Seeing that Zhi Zhi Tang was so persistent, it would be a bit unkind to refuse further, so Miss Zheng had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll just talk to him when he comes back..."
After hearing this, Zhidang breathed a sigh of relief and said piously: "Zhidang would like to thank Miss Zheng in advance——"
Seeing that his young lady finally got her wish, Xiaoyuan was also sincerely happy. But the little girl was smiling, and suddenly the expression on her face froze, because she thought of a 'very serious' problem - all the projects in the conference have been tested, and the current result seems to be... .This Miss Zheng came from behind, and the total score has become two to two!
What should I do about this?
Seeing Zhi Tang return to his side, Xiao Yuan secretly pushed his young lady with his arm. Zhitang turned to look at Xiao Yuan, who had a serious look on his face, feeling puzzled.
"Miss...what should we do now?" Xiao Yuan asked in a low voice.
"Huh? What should I do?" Zhi Tang was confused.
"Let's compete! Now Mr. Su and Miss Zheng are tied... Next we..."
Zhi Tang was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Xiao Yuan meant. This situation was somewhat unexpected, but fortunately she was quick to respond and quickly thought of something to say after thinking about it for a while.
"Everyone, all the competition events in this competition have been carried out, and everyone knows the results. Mr. Su and Miss Zheng will compete in two cities each."
There was another commotion in the crowd, and everyone came back to their senses at this time.
"Yeah...the two of them were evenly matched after the four competitions of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"What should I do?"
"Hey... Let me see, Miss Zheng is more worthy of being called the 'Number One Talented Woman'... You see, when we faced the pair just now, she clearly outdid Mr. Su."
"Well...what you said makes sense...Miss Zheng does hide everything."
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Mr. Su's face turned extremely grim. Next to him, Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang were equally gloomy.
"As the saying goes: There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. Since this conference is about meeting friends based on talent, let's stop here and don't hurt everyone's harmony. Mr. Su and Miss Zheng both They are people with outstanding talents. Although they win and lose, they are still among the best. Therefore, the little girl proposes to grant the title of "No. 1" to two people - one is the "No. 1 Talent" in Chang'an. , one is the 'most talented woman' in Chang'an!"
This was said so impeccably and beautifully that no one could refute it.
The talented people in the pavilion nodded one after another and felt that this approach was quite appropriate.
"What do you two think?" Zhidang said this to Mr. Su and Miss Zheng.
"As the girl said, just click until you click. I have no objection." The voice of 'Miss' came from inside the bamboo curtain.
Zhitang smiled and nodded, then turned to the direction of Mr. Su and asked, "Mr. Su, where are you?"
Faced with Zhitang's questions, Mr. Su changed his usual polite and polite attitude. He closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head slightly, paying no attention to Zhitang's meaning. Everyone could see that Mr. Su, despite his obvious appearance, Quiet and peaceful, but maybe the thoughts in his heart are like waves that are difficult to calm down? That's right. Originally, the title of 'Number One Talent' belonged to him, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway and steal all the limelight from him, right in front of Zhi Tang.
Seeing Mr. Su's delay in responding, everyone felt something strange and turned their attention to the silent Mr. Su.
Faced with everyone's gaze, Mr. Su didn't seem to be affected at all, and he remained silent.
Mr. Huang and Mr. Chen looked at Mr. Su at the same time, with a little worry in their eyes. Mr. Su's life experience, talents and knowledge are all considered to be the best choice among Chang'an City. How ambitious is he? After suddenly suffering such a big shock today, both of them were worried that their extremely arrogant friend would not be able to accept the reality for a while.
Just when everyone was secretly guessing what kind of response Mr. Su would make, Mr. Su suddenly spoke and said -
"Ms. Zheng, during the chess competition this morning... there seemed to be no sign of her."
Mr. Su's tone was as polite as before, and no one could hear anything wrong.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then there was a burst of whispers. It is not difficult to feel that everyone's discussions are filled with excitement, because they know that Mr. Su does not seem to want to let it go.
'Miss Zheng' was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Today's 'Qinyuan Elegant Party' was attended by chance after I heard about it while traveling at noon, so I didn't arrive in time for the first two competitions."
Oops! Invisible pretense is the most deadly. The co-author did not take this conference to heart at all, it was just a temporary participation.
"Oh? If that's the case, then it's unfair that Su got the title of 'Number One Talent'!" Mr. Su gradually regained his previous confidence and said, "Since Miss Zheng did not participate in the two competitions, Su got this" I’m afraid the title of “Number One Talent” is hard to convince the public——”
Having said this, Mr. Su's meaning is extremely obvious.
The excitement in everyone's eyes became more and more obvious. It seemed that the tickets for today's conference were extremely valuable. It was a lot of fun!
"Mr. Su is being humble. The 'No. 1 Talented Woman' and 'No. 1 Talented Man' are just false names, so why should they be so serious?" Miss Zheng did not want to continue to entangle her and took the initiative to give in.
These words sounded very different to Mr. Su's ears. He only thought that Miss Zheng was not good at chess before she uttered these words of initiative to seek peace. I saw a glimmer of pride flashing in his eyes, and then he pretended to be generous and said: "No, no! How can this be considered fair to Miss Zheng?"
"Can--"
"Su saw that Miss Zheng's calligraphy and piano skills were much higher than ordinary people, so her chess skills... must also be advanced, right?" Mr. Su directly interrupted Miss Zheng's argument. Although his words were compliments, his expression looked like he was impressed by Miss Zheng.
"Haha, Miss Zheng, don't be humble. Mr. Su has always been fair and impartial. If he gets this title under unfair circumstances, I'm afraid Mr. Su will feel that he is too weak to win." Mr. Huang said in support.
"Yes, just now Miss Zheng made a splash in the book and piano competitions. We are also curious about Miss Zheng's chess skills." Mr. Chen also added.
Zhi Tang looked at Miss Zheng's seat with some embarrassment. Mr. Su openly challenged her, and she couldn't stop her.
"I wonder what Miss Zheng... thinks?" Seeing no response from the bamboo curtain, Mr. Su asked.
"Miss Zheng...you..." Zhi Tang opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that he didn't know what to say.
Silence fell within the bamboo curtain, and everyone stretched their necks eagerly waiting for Miss Zheng's response.
Mr. Su looked indifferent. In his opinion, whether Miss Zheng accepted the challenge or not, he had already won back the victory. The reason why he is so confident is because he has great confidence in his chess skills——
Even more confident than a pair.
It turns out that Mr. Su has been studying chess since he was a child and his talent is much higher than ordinary people. After a few years of exposure to chess, he has no rivals among his peers. When Mr. Su gets older, even the bosses of the chess clubs in Chang'an City are defeated. Among his men, it can be said that in terms of 'chess', Mr. Su considers himself to be invincible in Chang'an City.
A breeze blew by, causing the bamboo curtain to sway slightly...
It was this gust of breeze that seemed to wake up the person behind the bamboo curtain——
"Master Su's intention...what should it be?"
Seeing that Miss Zheng finally responded, Mr. Su's expression lit up, with a flash of excitement in his eyes, and he said: "Of course it's a fair fight with Miss Zheng -"
"A fair fight?"
"Exactly, the winner... will only be entitled to the title of 'the most talented man' and the 'talented woman'!" Mr. Su deliberately emphasized the word 'winner', for fear that the onlookers wouldn't hear.
"That's fair."
"Then...Ms. Zheng agreed?" Mr. Su raised his eyebrows with a proud look on his face.
"As soon as I said it -"
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
"Then please ask Mr. Su to order someone to bring the chessboard in front of you. The little girl can just report the position of the pieces."
"Hahaha - Miss Zheng is overly worried. Su does not plan to hold this competition in the pavilion."
"Oh? Where is that?"
"Beside the Qinchun Pavilion -" Mr. Su paused for a moment, and then his eyes gradually became sharper. He licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and stared at the bamboo curtain sinisterly. His breathing gradually became heavier, and he could only hear his firm, The wild, irrefutable and even arrogant voice shouted word by word——
"Sky! Star! Pan!"
After hearing the words "celestial star disk", the atmosphere inside and outside the pavilion was like boiling water, and it was extremely heated for a while.
Feeling the excitement and anticipation of the crowd, Mr. Su smiled proudly. This atmosphere and effect were exactly what he needed. In full view of the crowd, could Miss Zheng refuse his invitation to fight?
Seeing no reply from the bamboo curtain, Mr. Su smiled and said, "Does Miss Zheng look down on Su, so she doesn't want to compete with Su?"
"It's just a discussion, Miss Zheng must give Mr. Su this face!" Mr. Chen said in a sinister tone from the side.
"Yes, the 'Tian Xing Pan' has been gathering dust for many years. We are also looking forward to Miss Zheng and Mr. Su bringing us a wonderful game!" Mr. Huang also agreed.
Zhi Tang frowned slightly. She looked at Mr. Su and the others, and then at Miss Zheng's seat, with a worried look on her face.
How should 'Miss Zheng' accept the offer? If you don't play this round with Mr. Su, wouldn't you admit that your skills are inferior to others? But if he accepts the challenge, Mr. Su's chess skills are so superb. If he loses, wouldn't the title of 'the most talented woman' be...
At this time, not only Zhi Tang analyzed this level, but also all the onlookers present who were watching the excitement.
