Chapter 38: Recommend One

When Zhou Yang heard Wang Lu's complaint, he shrugged and said, "You're asking me, how would I know? But Ye Si is really tricky, maybe she deliberately chose a question with no answer."

Liu Qianru, hearing Zhou Yang and Wang Lu's words, suddenly spoke up, "She wouldn't do such a thing. If you two aren't capable, don't speculate about others."

Zhou Yang, hearing Liu Qianru defend Ye Si, shrugged and smiled, not arguing with her. He just gave her a sideways glance, indicating that she should look at others.

Liu Qianru's gaze swept around and noticed that everyone in the pavilion was frowning, clearly stumped by the question. However, when her gaze fell on Xu Feng, she saw him looking around nonchalantly. This made Liu Qianru pause, and she then called out to Xu Feng, "Hey! Do you know the answer?"

"Ah!" Xu Feng was taken aback, not expecting this woman to speak to him directly. Without thinking, he shook his head and said, "I don't, but my young miss does."

This statement made Zhou Yang and the others turn their gaze to Xiao Yilin. The several pairs of eyes staring at her made Xiao Yilin flustered, and she quickly waved her hands, "I don't either..."

Before Xiao Yilin could finish, Xu Feng interrupted, "Second Miss, you do. You even taught me before!"

"Huh?!" Xiao Yilin looked at Xu Feng strangely, wondering when she had taught him.

Xu Feng smiled and suddenly leaned his head close to Xiao Yilin's ear, whispering a few words. Xiao Yilin, feeling Xu Feng's warm breath on her ear, blushed, but after Xu Feng finished speaking, she looked at him even more strangely, "Really?"

"Second Miss, why don't you try it and see?" Xu Feng said.

"Okay!" Xiao Yilin, who trusted Xu Feng, didn't hesitate and called out, "I know the answer!"

This statement made everyone turn to look at Xiao Yilin.

Seeing that Xiao Yilin had stepped forward, Ye Si was surprised but then smiled, "Then please, Miss Xiao, give us the answer."

"It's simple! Place them in the sun for a while, the hotter one is the black ball, and the other is the white ball!" Xiao Yilin glanced at Xu Feng, who gave her an encouraging smile, which calmed her nervous heart.

Ye Si looked at Xiao Yilin with surprise. She had discovered this by chance when drying things in the sun and didn't believe anyone could answer it. But she didn't expect this charming and beautiful girl to solve it so easily.

"Second Miss Xiao is indeed very intelligent!" Ye Si's words confirmed the correctness of Xiao Yilin's answer.

Gao Yang and the others looked at Xiao Yilin in shock. They couldn't understand how the answer could be so simple—just by exposing them to the sun?

Many people in the room seemed to be confused, their eyes filled with bewilderment. Ye Si smiled and said, "Hehe, I have some beads here. Everyone can feel them."

After saying this, Xiao Cui brought out a few beads.

Wang Lu couldn't resist and took two beads outside. A few young nobles followed suit.

Seeing that someone was actually trying her answer, Xiao Yilin, who had initially calmed down, became anxious again. Xu Feng said to her, "Second Miss, you need to believe in yourself."

Xiao Yilin gave Xu Feng a glance, thinking, "This is the answer you told me, of course you believe in it!"

After a while, Wang Lu and the others returned to the pavilion with surprise. Without needing to say anything, everyone knew the answer. This made everyone look at Xiao Yilin in amazement, unable to understand how this beautiful girl could come up with such a strange answer.

Xiao Yilin was also extremely excited, not expecting her seemingly strange answer to be correct. Feeling the attention of all the nobles, she felt very comfortable, as she had never experienced such a feeling of being the center of attention.

"Xu Feng! You're so amazing!" Xiao Yilin praised Xu Feng openly, making Xu Feng blush: "Second Miss didn't even try, how did she know I was amazing? Her eyes are really sharp!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Yilin in surprise, but only Gao Yang and the others glanced at Xu Feng in surprise. Although Xu Feng had pushed Xiao Yilin forward, they weren't fools and could tell from her behavior that she didn't know the answer beforehand.

"Second Miss Xiao having Xu Feng is truly fortunate," Zhou Yang said enviously again.

Xu Feng smiled but didn't respond to Zhou Yang's words. His gaze turned to the woman who had captivated everyone. With her nod, her maid presented the second question!

"There are two doors, one is real, and one is fake. Each door has a guard, one always tells the truth, and one always lies. You can ask them one question. How do you identify the real door? Please, Misses and Masters, give your answers." Xiao Cui bowed and waited.

Clearly, Ye Si's question was not simple, and for the people in this world, it could be considered extremely difficult!

In the previous life, those who had studied physics knew that black absorbs more light, making the first question relatively easy to solve. However, for people in this world who didn't understand physics, it was a challenge. They could only rely on life experience, but as young nobles, what life experience did they have? The second question was equally challenging for their way of thinking. Xu Feng looked at Ye Si strangely, wondering if she was really trying to exhaust the brain cells of these nobles.

"Xu Feng! Why are you smiling so evilly? Do you have the answer?" Xiao Yilin, seeing Xu Feng's strange smile, couldn't help but ask.

"Second Miss! Let me reiterate, that was a pure smile," Xu Feng said seriously, then lowered his voice and said to Xiao Yilin, "Lean your head over."

Xiao Yilin, with a joyful expression, quickly leaned over. Xu Feng, seeing her enthusiasm, smiled. He enjoyed seeing Xiao Yilin's lively and beautiful demeanor. Since Xiao Yilin liked the feeling of being the center of attention, he would tell her again. As a qualified servant, making the beautiful mistress happy was also part of his job.

Under the watchful eyes of Gao Yang and the others, Xu Feng leaned close to Xiao Yilin's ear and whispered. This scene made Gao Yang exclaim, "Damn! Does this guy know the answer again? Without even thinking?"

Sure enough, after Xu Feng whispered, Xiao Yilin's smile grew even wider. This made Gao Yang and Wang Lu exchange glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. They thought, "Is this too much of a blow? And he's just a servant. Damn, we, a group of nobles, can't even match a servant?"

While Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin were whispering, Ye Si's gaze also fixed on them, her eyes filled with more curiosity!

After Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin finished their conversation, Xiao Yilin immediately called out, "I know!"

Seeing Xiao Yilin's eagerness, Xu Feng shook his head, thinking, "Young girls really can't hold back. To make others admire you more, you need to first humble them. By standing on their shoulders, you can make them look up to you more. This rush makes the admiration less strong."

Xiao Yilin, of course, didn't know what Xu Feng was thinking. If she did, she would think Xu Feng was even more despicable and evil. However, with Xiao Yilin's personality, after despising Xu Feng, she would definitely follow his advice.

Ye Si, seeming to understand something, looked at Xu Feng and then smiled at Xiao Yilin, "Then please, Second Miss Xiao, give us the answer."

"Ask the guard at the first door, 'If I ask the guard at the second door which is the real door, what would he say?' If the first guard tells the truth, he will say, 'He would say the second door is the real one,' so the first door is the real one. If the first guard lies, he will say, 'He would say the first door is the real one,' so the second door is the real one."

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!" Gao Yang clapped, "I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. I didn't expect this answer."

Compared to the first question, the second one was clearly more interesting. However, Gao Yang thought about it for a long time without finding a solution, which was then solved by Xiao Yilin. This made Gao Yang's gaze involuntarily turn to Xu Feng again.

Seeing Gao Yang's gaze, Xu Feng could only shrug and said to Gao Yang in a showy manner, "Our Second Miss is indeed very intelligent. No one can match her!"

Damn! Is this guy praising Xiao Yilin, or using her to praise himself?!

Xiao Yilin solving two questions in a row made everyone extremely surprised, their gazes filled with a different kind of admiration. This woman was not only stunningly beautiful but also incredibly smart. How could they, as men, live with this?

Some young men who had originally harbored thoughts about Xiao Yilin now wondered if they would be overshadowed by her if they were together. Having a woman smarter than themselves was a tragic thing for men, possibly leading to being controlled by their wives!

Xiao Yilin, being the center of attention, enjoyed this feeling immensely. Her charming eyes sparkled, and she winked at Xu Feng, showing her playful side.

Seeing Xiao Yilin like this, Xu Feng thought, "This little woman is really satisfied." However, he also felt a sense of satisfaction and comfort, as making a beautiful girl happy was a very satisfying thing for a man.

"Originally, I planned to ask a third question. But since Second Miss Xiao has solved two, there's no need for a third one," Ye Si's soft and alluring voice rang out, making everyone realize and notice the set of low-grade mystic techniques in her hand, which was as white as jade.

"Second Miss Xiao, this set of mystic techniques is for you," Ye Si said kindly to Xiao Yilin.

Xiao Yilin glanced at Xu Feng, seeing him nod, and then walked towards Ye Si. She felt a bit dizzy, not expecting to get the mystic techniques so easily. She had thought it would take a lot of time and possibly even a fight to get the mystic techniques, but Ye Si had asked questions that stumped everyone except her little servant.

"Second Miss, take good care of it!" Ye Si handed the mystic techniques to Xiao Yilin, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over Xu Feng, and she said to Xiao Yilin, "Your servant is quite good!"

Ye Si's words instantly made Xiao Yilin realize that Ye Si knew something. Her face turned slightly red, and she playfully stuck out her tongue at Ye Si, "He! He does have some skills. He was even courted by the Gao and Wang families just now."

Ye Si had seen this scene in the pavilion and was surprised that Gao Yang would invite a servant so formally. She was curious at first, but now she realized that this servant was indeed different.

Ye Si couldn't help but look at Xu Feng again. She had to admit that this servant was different from the others she had seen. At least, he could talk and laugh with Gao Yang and the others without being humble or arrogant. If she didn't know he was a servant, who would have thought such a composed young man was a servant? There was no trace of servility in him.

"Second Miss Xiao has good fortune," Ye Si said politely.

Xiao Yilin and Ye Si exchanged a few words and then returned to her original spot with the mystic techniques. Everyone looked at the scroll in Xiao Yilin's hand with envy, but her status meant they didn't dare to have any ulterior motives. In this small town, no one dared to provoke Xiao Yilin except the Ling family.

"Cough!" Everyone sighed, having to put aside their thoughts. Since the mystic techniques were taken, there was no point in thinking about it anymore. Their gazes involuntarily turned back to Ye Si, the woman who captivated everyone, making them involuntarily infatuated.

Xiao Yilin returned to Xu Feng's side and handed him the mystic techniques, saying, "Here! Now you won't have to fear Li Wei anymore."

Xu Feng took it with a smile, "Thank you, Second Miss!"

Xiao Yilin shook her head, "This was originally yours. Hehe, but it was really fun just now."

"I'll make it even more fun for you in the future," Xu Feng said with a smile, then put the mystic techniques in his pocket without looking at them.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang bowed to Xu Feng, "Congratulations!"
