343 Chapter 343 “Riddle Battle 3 “
But what is it?!
Huo Bai Lei tried to think as hard as he could but he couldn't even think of a random guess.
H-he...would he lost this round in this little girl's hand?! He, the sect head of the biggest and strongest sect in this country..couldn't answer one riddle from a random 15 years old girl?!
While Huo Bai Lei was trying his best as he refuse to believe he wouldn't be able to answer this riddle, the time to answer the riddle came to an end.
TENG TENG TENG. TIME'S UP!
Ukh!! He couldn't answer the riddle!
Huo Bai Lei face turned dark while on the other hand, Li Shi Ying was beaming with happiness.
Hahahaha got you old man! Now his position was the same with her. This first round...their score was the same!
Since Huo Bai Lei lost, his chair was lowered for a few centimeters just like Li Shi Ying chair.
GRAK.
! Uhh so hot!
Huo Bai Lei who had his chair lowered down, could also felt the vapor rising from the lava lake below his feet. Only then he started to felt fear.
H-he didn't expect to have the same score with this little girl at the first round! Damn it!
SRINGGG....
While Huo Bai Lei was cursing his own stupidity for not being able to guess the riddle, as like before, the answer for Li Shi Ying riddle suddenly being shown at the arena.
There was these two words floating on air as the right answer for the riddle.
HIS EQUAL.
Those two words marked the end of the first round with both player got 1 point and their situation was the same.
When Huo Bai Lei saw the answer, he was confused for a while so he asked Li Shi Ying for explanation.
Why is the answer like this? His equal? What does it mean?
"Explanation please" As the one who was challenged to answer the riddle, Huo Bai Lei had the right to ask for explanation from Li Shi Ying, the one who gave the riddle.
This was to make both player agreed to the answer as the right answer. If one of the player couldn't explain the answer, their winning point would be deducted and their win just now could be cancelled.
This was to prevent the one making the riddle, to make a random answer for their riddle.
"Its like this. God never seen his equal which is another God as there is only one God in this world. The king seldom see his equal which is another king. There are quite a lot of kings in this world but not that many. The last one is common man. He can see other common man as his equal, every single day because common man are everywhere"
Li Shi Ying suddenly felt genius when she explained the answer to her riddle which was followed by gasp of admiration from the audience. Both from Li Shi Ying side and from Huo Bai Lei side.
"Oh! I get it! That's why the answer is his equal! It makes sense!" One of the people from Pure Jade Sect who love to solve riddle, gasped in admiration toward Li Shi Ying after he understood the answer.
This girl...was surprisingly genius! Prodigy of prodigy! How could she made such a good riddle??
Jiu Wei and the others also felt proud for their mistress after understanding the answer but this only made Li Shi Ying felt pressured.
The truth is...she only have that one hard riddle! The rest of riddles she remember are all trashy riddle the author use to make for daily riddle chapter.
The next round...she is doomed! 😭 She have to guess the riddle Huo Bai Lei give her as she is sure...her riddle would be easy to solved.
"Ck! I admit defeat" Huo Bai Lei clicked his tongue feeling irritated that he just understood the riddle answer now but he was confident his next riddle would be as hard as this one!
TENG TENG TENG. ROUND 2! START!
Few seconds after the riddle answer being shown to both players, the round 2 started with Huo Bai Lei asking a riddle first.
"Hmm this is the riddle. I move without wings, between silken strings, I leave as you find, my substance behind. Who am I?" Huo Bai Lei had a smug grin on his face as he throw this riddle to Li Shi Ying.
Heh eat this riddle! If this girl couldn't answer and he could answer her next riddle, she would immediately lost the battle and die!
So....you must not answer it little girl! Well you wouldn't be able to anyway.
Hearing the riddle, Jiu Wei was the first one to react among the audiences.
"Ah!! I know this one! I know the answer damn it mistress!! This is quite easy!" Jiu Wei shouted even though he knew his voice wouldn't be able to be heard by Li Shi Ying.
Back at Li Shi Ying place.
She was currently struggling with every clues she found in the riddle.
I MOVE WITHOUT WINGS, between silken STRINGS, I leave as you find my substance behind. Who am I?
The clues she got are move without wings and strings! What is the answer?
