C8 Arguments of Talent

"The reason why gold is more valuable than silver is because it is harder to come by than silver." Li Xin slowly said, "For something like talent, as long as one has no mental retardation, after studying hard for two years, everyone can say that they have talent. But beauty was different. It had been decided from the moment she was born, and there was almost no way to change it later on. Obviously, it's much rarer than talent, isn't it? "

It was Qin Huaiyu's first time hearing such a theory, so she was stunned. She scratched her head and felt that something was wrong, but she could not say what was wrong. Chen Zixian gritted his teeth, and said: "It's all your fault. Talent was not something that anyone could casually possess! Just like you, Lord Chu, even if you were to read a few more years of the Book of Virtue, you might not even be able to read a single bit of it! "

Li Xin sneered and said: "Then I must ask you, what is your so-called talent? Are there any criteria for evaluation? After all, you can't say that you can have whoever you want, but you can't say that you can't have anyone else, right? What makes you think I have no talent? If I remember correctly, we should have just met today. Don't tell me you know me that well? "

"Heh, Lord Chu does not know anything. Almost everyone in Chang An city knows about him. Even if they don't know Lord Chu, they would still know a thing or two about him." Chen Zixian said scornfully.

Qin Huaiyu looked at the atmosphere between the two of them as if it was getting more and more heated. She wanted to smooth things over, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only silently regret in her heart: If she knew this would happen, why did she talk so much about calling Chen Zixian here? This was great.

Li Xin calmly said, "So, you admit that you are just a common person? "If that's the case, perhaps the third sister of the Chen family, whom you have regarded as a model student, is just mediocre."

Chen Zixian was speechless for a moment, he was angered until his face turned red, he pointed his white finger at Li Jun and asked, "What qualifications do you have to say that?"

After all, Li Xin had just transmigrated, so he wasn't used to using his power to suppress others. Otherwise, even if this fair skinned youth in front of him was the son of the Tang Dynasty's Prime Minister, Chen Yin, he still wouldn't have spoken to Li Xin in such a disrespectful manner.

However, although Li Xin would not use his power to suppress others, having a lack of power did not mean that he did not have any other methods to deal with this hotheaded youth.

"Whether I'm qualified or not, won't we know about the one-to-one competition?" Li Xin looked at Chen Zixian angrily.

Chen Zixian's words referred to Li Xin as a "popinjay" or "idiot." How could Li Xin not be angry at all? Although these titles were left behind by the original owner of this body, the one it was scolding right now was actually the modern Li Xin! He didn't believe it at all. As a transcender with knowledge that far surpassed his generation, how could he not admire a small country bumpkin of the Tang Dynasty?

Hearing Li Xin's challenge, Chen Zixian actually laughed.

Qin Huaiyu quickly said, "Please don't hurt our relationship. Brother Chen and I met at a poetry meet, and I couldn't help but admire his talents in poetry, which is why I called him a bosom friend. " Although Qin Qiong was a coarse person, she had raised a bookworm like Qin Huaiyu. Although she was not good at writing poems, whenever she encountered something elegant like a poetry meet, she would often join in on the fun.

Li Xin understood the meaning behind Qin Huaiyu's words. It was that this Chen Zixian had some skill in poetry. Qin Huaiyu felt that with Li Xin's level, he definitely wouldn't be able to win, so it was better not to compete.

It had to be said that Qin Huaiyu was indeed a good friend, and she had a good understanding of Li Xin. At least, with the original Prince Li Xin's standard of education, he was most likely unable to win against the confident Chen Zixian in front of him.

However, at this moment, Li Xin, who had come from the 21st century, was in this body. He looked at Qin Huaiyu confidently, using his eyes to reassure her. Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu could only bitterly smile and shake her head. She really did not know where Li Xin's inexplicable confidence came from.

Chen Zixian laughed, "If you want to compete, then compete. Say it, how do you want to compete, it's up to you to choose between the poems and songs. If you lose, you have to admit that you are a shitbag after shouting three times in front of so many people! "

"Then what if you lose?" Li Xin also smiled as he looked at Chen Zixian.

Chen Zixian originally wanted to sneer, saying how could he lose, but after thinking about it, his words sounded a little stupid, so he said: "What do you think we should do?"

"If you lose, then I don't need you to do anything. As long as you become my attendant for a month, you can come at any time and I'll speak of the type that you must follow." Li Xin smiled and said, "How is it, do you dare?"

This bet is not small, Chen Zixian hesitated slightly. However, under the driving force of his strong self-confidence, he did not reject it in the end.

"Tell me, how do we compete?" Chen Zixian asked.

"Poems and songs are really too child's play. I'm more afraid of others calling me bullying you than this." Li Xin said seriously. Honestly speaking, even though he was an engineering student, he had memorized quite a bit of ancient poetry. Any one of them was a masterpiece. Wouldn't it scare these guys to the point of peeing their pants?

At least from Li Xin's point of view, his words were quite true and not exaggerated at all. However, in the eyes of Qin Huaiyu and Chen Zixian, Li Xin was completely bluffing.

"Then what else do you want to compete for?" Chen Zixian said disdainfully, "You're not going to let me compete in wrestling and fighting crickets, are you? Then there's no need to compete, I admit defeat." He was trying to use words to pressure Li Xin, in case Li Xin actually said something that he didn't know how to do as a popinjay.

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely be a civil war. The rule is very simple. I'll ask you a question, and you can ask me a question.

"Alright." Upon hearing this, Chen Zixian readily agreed.

Li Xin said with a smile, "Then you can ask first."

Chen Zixian did not reject, and said: "Then I'll make a word of this riddle. "The answer to the riddle is' Smoke and Fire, don't worry, just type it out '."

Although Qin Huaiyu liked to read books, but her mind was not very bright. After hearing Chen Zixian's riddle, she frowned as she thought hard about it, but she did not seem to have any clues.

However, Li Xin just smiled indifferently and replied with the wisdom pearl, "If the word 'smoke' is removed from the side of the word 'flame,' then the 'heart' will be placed below it. The answer to the riddle should be 'grace' right?" Li Xin had been playing with this kind of crossword puzzle since primary school. How could it be difficult for him to stay here?

Qin Huaiyu was suddenly enlightened as she used her hand to gesture a few times in the air before hurriedly nodding her head.

Chen Zixian was slightly surprised, but he quickly calmed down. She knew that this mystery wasn't difficult to solve and was only testing Li Xin's standard. Now it seemed that Li Xin might have read some books and read a few big words.

"Then it's your turn. Give me the question." Chen Zixian said casually. He didn't think that he would be unable to answer Li Xin's question, even though the cunning smile on Li Xin's face made him feel that something was wrong.
