Lin Yuan hadn’t figured out the answer yet, but Xia Zheng had already tightly grabbed her hand and was pulling her toward the young man who was tallying answers beside the stage.

"Hey, hey, do you know the answer? Just running there, what if you’re wrong?" Pulled by Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan’s mind was filled with why they were heading there, and she had no mind left to think about the answer.

Xia Zheng chuckled, "I know, I know."

The young man tallying answers had just opened his notebook when he felt a gust of wind blow past him. Then, with a whoosh, a note flew in front of him, and before he could see the face of the person giving him the note, he only heard a voice in the wind.

"Yeah!"

The young man’s face was lined with confusion, not understanding why there was a cry accompanying the flying note.

But when he opened the note and saw the character written on it, he finally realized that the sound he heard wasn’t a cry of "yeah," but the answer "press!"

"How..."

The young man’s complaint wasn’t finished when another note slapped onto his forehead.

"What’s this?"

Wiping the note off his forehead, the young man unconsciously asked, only to hear someone call out to him, "Look!"

The young man pursed his lips, look at what?

While muttering under his breath, he opened the note and gently read out, "Eunuch Hunchback, strong as can be, loves to carry, bustling as can be. Cough, cough, it turns out it wasn’t look, it was bridge, ah!"

The young man lifted his tear-streaked cheeks only to see the man and woman who had thrown two notes at him rushing towards him like the wind, holding another note. He tore off the note stuck to his cheek, crying profusely, "Three questions now, and I finally see who is answering."

It wasn’t just the young man tallying answers, but the competitors on stage and the spectators off it who also noticed the speed of Xia Zheng’s team, which could only be described as frantic.

Perhaps intimidated by the wild state of Xia Zheng and his partner, another couple immediately sped up as well.

Soon, Xia Zheng’s side had answered all ten one-point riddles, but since the intermediate-level questions were relatively harder, the two decided to choose eleven one-point questions and three three-point questions, which made it somewhat easier for them.

However, obviously, the couple chasing them had the same idea, and after Xia Zheng completed the first three-point question, the couple also finished their eleven one-point questions. Now, the only difference between them was a single question.

What made Lin Yuan even more frustrated was that, whether it was fate’s cruel trick or not, the two three-point questions they chose were very brain-racking, while the couple on the other side was luckily getting questions they knew.

She vividly remembered that when the couple received their first three-pointer, the woman joyfully exclaimed, "I’ve heard of this question!"

Questions you’ve heard of are naturally much easier. That way, the male and female quickly caught up.

Thus, the competition now was between Xia Zheng’s team and the other couple. Other competitors, having just answered their one-point questions and knowing victory was out of reach, very wisely dropped out of the competition and gathered around, interestedly watching the clash between the two teams.

Suddenly, someone shouted, and the spectators below started clapping rhythmically, cheerfully rooting for everyone.

"Wearing a Wusheng hat, dressed in a Water dragon robe, running to the Tang family, switching to a big red robe."

Lin Yuan quickly scanned the riddle, finally showing a smile, the last three-point question, and fortune was smiling on them again.

"Shrimp, shrimp!" While muttering the answer, they both frantically rushed towards the young man.

The young man covered his forehead with one hand, his cheek with the other, peeking out only with eyes between his fingers, thinking to himself that this time he wouldn’t get hit by the note again.

But before he could finish his silent complaint, he suddenly saw darkness before his eyes, all light and people disappeared.

"Ah! My eyes!" Just as the young man was about to lift his hand to peel off the note, his ears perked up, and he immediately shouted indignantly, "You’re the blind one! You’re the blind one!"

Running back to the tree, the other couple was still pondering the last three-point question; clearly, they had run into a difficult problem.

Xia Zheng was beyond happy, looking up at the highest note on the tree, "Now just the last question left!"

The victory was in sight, and Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng’s enthusiasm grew even stronger.
