Chapter 542: The Test of Wisdom
Chapter 542: The Test of Wisdom
"Hehe, I'm just kidding you. Anyway, don't be nervous. Didn't we meet the Great Kindness Tree King last time? She's a very easy-going and gentle elder sister. She will help you if anything happens. Just go with peace of mind~"
Seeing Zhongli's reaction, Hu Tao smiled and patted Zhongli's shoulder, although she had to raise her hand very high to pat him.
"Well, I'll go claim the prize, Hall Master, don't worry about me."
"Don't worry, my dear guest. I can't wait to start the feast."
Just like that, Zhongli said goodbye to Hutao and went to claim the prize.
After exchanging his prize with the discipline officer who was responsible for maintaining order at the wedding, Zhongli was taken to the most special table.
This table is closest to the wedding stage, and the style of the table is more prominent, allowing the guests attending the wedding to tell at a glance that the person sitting here is of extraordinary status.
At this time, the Great Compassionate Tree King had not yet arrived, but there were already people sitting here.
"Hey~ Isn't this the old man? What a coincidence that you also won the gold prize~"
Wendy, holding a bottle of wine, raised her hand and greeted Zhongli enthusiastically.
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
Zhongli nodded slightly. He had already guessed that Wendy would also win the gold prize.
"Hello, Mr. Zhongli."
Next to Wendy, Zhen greeted Zhongli with a smile.
In the end, Ying did not attend and asked Shinjiro to attend by herself. According to her, Inazuma has just recovered and still needs a demon god to take charge, so it is not appropriate for them to leave together.
Knowing that his sister was becoming more and more of a stay-at-home girl, he had no choice but to go to Xumi by himself after persuading her for a few words.
"This... must be Inazuma's General Raiden. I have heard of you for a long time. It is my honor to drink with you."
Zhongli raised his lips to smile and said to Zhen with a bow.
"Yes, the old man is right."
“It’s such an honor to be sitting at the same table with you.”
When Wendy, who was standing by, heard Zhongli's words, she immediately put down the bottle of wine in her hand and imitated him.
"Don't bother me, the two of you. No one else can hear what's going on at this table."
Zhen covered his mouth with his sleeve and shook his head with a smile.
Currently, these two are the only gods who do not reveal their true identities.
……
"Traveler, is it not a good idea for us to sneak in and have a feast like this?"
Ying sat down at an empty table with Paimon and Klevi, and looked around carefully.
"What do you know? It's much better to sneak in and have a feast like this than to be invited. It's Liu Shazi's fault for not inviting us. We'll settle the score with him later."
Ying tried to keep her head down as much as possible while speaking to Paimon so that no one else would notice their appearance.
“I see…it seems so!”
Paimeng nodded in understanding.
"Humph, why did you pull me here? You know that I and that kid are at odds with each other."
At this moment, the familiar woman's voice came from the side.
The two of them quickly turned their heads and found that it was Gui Zhong who was walking over with Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who had transformed into "Xianyun", and beside them was the young form of Grandma Ping.
"Well, no matter how badly he treats us, at least he is not an enemy. Besides, he is still a benefactor."
"You are my benefactor, not me..."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing and find a place to sit down first."
Seeing three familiar faces, Ying and the others quickly lowered their heads.
However, the three of them looked around and found that there were still many seats at the table.
The seats in the invitation were not fixed, so they just came over and sat next to Ying and the others.
"Huh... A traveler? I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
After sitting down, Xianyun recognized Ying and the others opposite him at a glance and greeted them immediately.
"Yes, yes, what a coincidence..."
Ying raised her head and greeted awkwardly.
That's okay, just don't mention the invitation.
……
When the guests entered, the wedding float was still moving slowly on the streets of Xumi City. Senuo and Linni followed the float and threw red-wrapped wedding candies.
Liu Bai, who was standing by, was not allowed to throw the wedding candies, so he just took the candies and started eating them himself, claiming that he was having fun with the people.
In the crowd, a pink-haired girl holding a camera chased the float, looking for the best shooting angle.
In this way, the wedding carriage slowly came to the gate of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and then stopped.
There were thirty mercenaries maintaining order, and the main entrance of the Church House was cleared, with no one blocking the route of the float.
At the entrance of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, two bridesmaids were already waiting.
Although they are not the protagonists today, they are both young and beautiful women. After putting on bridesmaid dresses, they are a sight that makes people unable to take their eyes off.
The float slowly stopped, and the two best men followed Liu Bai from the float to the Church of the Immaculate Conception, while the two bridesmaids, Nilu and Dina Zedai, stood at the door of the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Seeing this, Seno took the initiative to step forward.
"Today, we are going to take the people away. You'd better not put up any unnecessary resistance."
As a high-ranking disciplinary officer, Seno was very familiar with such lines. Just saying them made Nilu and the others feel invisible pressure.
He had taken special lessons and knew that one of the important responsibilities of a best man was to snatch the bride from the bridesmaid.
Well, at least that's what the Mond man he asked said, although Mond doesn't seem to have such a custom.
"It's impossible to take the bride away so easily."
Nilu felt that she could not lose, so she stood at the main entrance with her hands on her hips. Dina Zedai standing next to her tried to imitate Nilu's movements.
"Okay, tell me your conditions. As long as you don't harm the hostages... ahem, I mean as long as you let us take the bride away."
Seno knew he couldn't force it, so he nodded.
"If you want to take away Xumi's wisdom from the Teachings Institute, you naturally need to undergo the test of wisdom."
Dina Zedai spoke at this time, saying that this was what Nashida had ordered them to do.
"Feel free to come over here."
Seno was not afraid at all, but the groom following behind him scratched his head subconsciously.
"No, it's not like you guys are getting married. The test is for the groom alone, so you can't help."
Ni Lu shook her head and then looked at Liu Bai.
"Ah I?"
Liu Bai raised his hand and pointed at himself.
"It's a bit tricky. It seems that it's not that easy to take the bride away..."
Hearing that Liu Bai had to take the test alone, Seno couldn't help but say this.
Based on his understanding of Liu Bai, the word "wisdom" has basically nothing to do with him, except for the gods being taken away by Liu Bai.
"Listen carefully, the test of wisdom is..."
"Please use three sentences to make the bride leave Jingshan Palace on her own initiative."
Neelue asked the question that Nashida had given her.
"..."
The two best men, Senor and Lini, looked at each other and felt that it was not difficult, as long as the bride was not unwilling...
"Three, three sentences...?"
Liu Bai tilted his head in distress, not knowing what to say.
What words could make Nashida come out to see me...
"Girl, even though you're small, I actually like you too."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bai looked at the gate of the Church and said his first words.
