As the queue became shorter and shorter, it was soon Long Yue's turn.

Xiao Lin and Zheng Jiacheng were surprised to see Long Yue participating, and immediately cheered up and looked at him.

They are working together. As long as he guesses correctly, it means they guessed correctly. Of course, they should pay attention to it.

Long Yue smiled knowingly after seeing the puzzle. Without thinking, she directly picked up the brush next to her and wrote a word on the white paper.

Zheng Jiacheng stood on tiptoes to read, muttering: "What did he write? Is it so easy to guess it?"

"We can't get too close to him in the future, it will make us look too stupid." Xiao Lin looked distressed.

His intuition told him that Long Yue's answer was definitely right.

This is the gap. He racked his brains for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but he didn't even have to think about it.

I think back when he was in the academy, he was considered a little genius, but how could he become a scumbag by comparison.

"Yeah, you're right. This guy's brain is too powerful. Don't sell us before we don't even know it."

Zheng Jiacheng looked complicated, always feeling like a fool in front of Long Yue.

Also shocked was the boy, who never thought that anyone could guess it.

You know, that was a puzzle that his master had asked people to study for a long time.

"Can I choose a lantern?" Long Yue asked casually.

The cold voice brought the young man back to his senses instantly, "Okay, okay, you can choose whatever you want, sir."

Everyone has guessed it, and there are so many people watching. If you don't let them choose, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?

"Bring me that lantern."

The seemingly ordinary words are full of majesty, making people want to listen involuntarily.

Without thinking, the boy subconsciously ran over and took the lantern.

Seeing that someone guessed the lantern correctly, the crowd at the back became even more excited, and more and more people participated.

Being able to get the lantern meant that there was no fraud. Of course they had to try it. After all, it only cost one penny.

Some people were not convinced that he could guess the answer, so they shouted: "What is the answer? Why are you still hiding it? Take it out and show it to us."

"Yes, so many of us didn't guess it. Why did he guess it after just one glance?"

"We have all paid, you can't find someone to do fraud."

"..."

Seeing more and more people questioning it, the boy held up the puzzle and the answer.

"Everyone, please see, this is the young master's answer. Today is the first time we meet, so don't make random guesses."

Everyone saw the words on the white paper clearly and started talking again.

"Second Miss? The answer is 'Zi'? This has no connection."

"That's right, isn't this deceiving people? It's a crossword puzzle, it's just random writing."

"If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, we will refund the money."

"Refund the money, refund the money..."

Seeing that the crowd was almost out of control, Xiao Lin patted his head and shouted: "So that's what happened, why didn't I think of it!"

"'Second' is equal to second. The young lady is a woman, and the second young lady is also the second daughter. How wonderful!"

Zheng Jiacheng also reacted at this time and couldn't help but give Long Yue a thumbs up. He really had to admit that his mind was spinning very fast.

After hearing Xiao Lin's explanation, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent, with everyone lowering their heads and not daring to make any more noise.

It turns out that it can still be explained this way. It seems that you can't just look at the surface of the crossword puzzle. You have to strip it down to find the answer.

See them quiet down.

Long Yue looked at the koi lantern in his hand, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Where's the next puzzle? Let's continue."

"Guest...Guest, do you still want to play?" The boy was sweating nervously.

He was afraid that Long Yue would continue to guess correctly, in which case he would not be able to make a deal.

"Can't you continue?" Long Yue put away the smile in her eyes and looked straight at him.

The boy's legs felt weak at the sight of him, and his heart was trembling, "But... yes, of course."

After saying that, he took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and opened it for him to see.

Ninety-nine?

It’s interesting to see that the people who came up with the puzzles put in a lot of effort.

Long Yue smiled and picked up the pen to write the answer again.

"Did you guess correctly again? No way!"

"Did he know the answer in advance? How could it be so easy to guess without even thinking about it?"

"You can't say that. Some people are naturally smart, and naturally they are not comparable to us."

"That's right, haven't you noticed that that young master doesn't look like an ordinary person, no matter how he dresses or talks or behaves? I advise you to take it easy and be careful of the trouble coming from your mouth."

At this point, everyone seemed to feel that Long Yue was unusual, and everyone closed their mouths tightly, not daring to speak nonsense.

At this time, Xiaolin became anxious, "What is the puzzle? Come out and let us see."

Seeing someone starting to raise his head, voices of inquiry began to appear in the crowd.

Without saying much, the boy raised the riddle and the answer again.

But this time his face was even more bitter, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

"Ninety-nine? The answer is Bai. Where is this and where is it? I'm confused."

Zheng Jiacheng couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that his brain had turned into paste.

Xiao Lin analyzed it for a while and said slowly: "If my guess is correct, the other meaning of his puzzle should be one hundred minus one."

Before Zheng Jiacheng came to his senses, someone in the crowd started to get excited: "Yes, one hundred minus one is ninety-nine. If you remove the one above the word 'hundred', isn't it the word 'white'?"

"That young man is so amazing. You can guess it. I feel like my brain is in knots."

"I can't compare, I can't compare. Even ten of me can't match this reaction speed."

"The person who asked the question is also tricky. How can he come up with such weird puzzles? If I had to think about it, I probably wouldn't be able to figure it out in my lifetime."

"You think it's so easy to take advantage of it? If the puzzle is not difficult, then the shopkeeper will have to pay for it."

"..."

When the voices in the audience gradually disappeared, the waiter looked at Long Yue with a bitter look on his face and asked: "Master, which lantern do you want to choose?"

Long Yue pointed to the lotus flower without hesitation.

The boy nodded, quickly ran over to take down the lantern, and ran back to hand it to him.

At the same time, she stared at him pitifully, as if to say: Master, that's it, you already have two lanterns, it's time to move.

Long Yue knew his dilemma and wanted to give in and let others guess, but then she remembered that she had promised Long Hao to win a lantern for him. He continued to stand where he was.

He calmly took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table.

"continue."

When the boy saw the silver, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay!" Then he stuffed the silver into his pocket and took out another puzzle with a smile.
