Chapter 13 - No Matter How Tricky the Question Was It Would be Useless

Lachlan was too arrogant!

He must have thought that his examination results were the best in the entire city, so he was acting so arrogantly!

Everyone looked at Lachlan with unfriendly gazes.

The scholars were all humble and respectful.

Since Lachlan was so disrespectful to others, it was obvious that he had broken the rules.

Even the eyes of Mandel Talbot flashed with a trace of displeasure.

Lachlan was arrogant and overbearing. This was not the temperament of his disciple.

“Lachlan, aren't you being a little too arrogant?” Julius frowned at the side, her words filled with anxiety.

In fact, she did not think that Lachlan was arrogant, but she did not want him to lose such a good opportunity because of his competition with others.

“Don't worry, I have a deep understanding of history. Even if Mandel Talbot were to compete with me personally, he wouldn't be able to defeat me.”

Juliette's small mouth slightly opened.

Obviously, she did not expect Lachlan to be so confident in himself.

However, she suddenly had a feeling that Lachlan was not lying.

After hearing Lachlan's reply, she felt much more at ease, and the worry in her heart disappeared.

When did I trust Lachlan so much?

“Senior Brother Snyder, you must win. Not only does Lachlan look down on you, he also looks down on everyone else.”

“Just agree to compete with Lachlan. You must teach him that history is not a textbook, and give him a lesson.”

“Right, you are not bullying the weak by doing this. Instead, you are fighting for the honor of our scholars.”

Cameron received everyone's expectations.

He pretended to have made up his mind, “Alright, since you are so arrogant, I will accept your challenge. I will teach you a lesson and let you know that there are still many people who are more outstanding than you. You are still young, so you still have a long road ahead of you. It is good for me to dampen your spirit.”

In fact, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Obviously, Lachlan was giving him the opportunity to be Mandel Talbot's disciple.

Lachlan was really an idiot.

“Then let's begin. Don't waste our time.” Lachlan said indifferently.

“You really don't know what's good for you.”

Cameron pinched his chin and thought for a moment: “First question: During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Gao of the Southern Qi Dynasty was the founding emperor. May I ask what he likes to eat?”

Once this question was asked, everyone fell into deep thought once again.

There were very few people who had researched the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and very few people knew what the emperor liked to eat.

Cameron was definitely not going to make a random question.

He definitely had historical documents to back up his claim, but these documents had not been unearthed yet.

Unknowingly, Cameron was once again admired by everyone.

“Toast, duck stew.” Lachlan said the answer without hesitation.

“You actually know the answer to this question?!”

Cameron was shocked.

He had deduced the answer to this question from various historical records and books. Even Baidu could not find any information about it. If Lachlan had not researched this question before, how could he know the answer?

Could it be a coincidence?

That was right. It seemed that Lachlan was quite fond of the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He had researched it before.

Everyone saw Cameron's ashen face and immediately understood that Lachlan had answered correctly.

Everyone remained silent.

Because they could not answer this question, but Lachlan had just blurted out the answer.

They clearly understood what this meant.

“It's your turn to ask questions,” Cameron said coldly.

“Why don't you ask the question? I only have one final question.”

“Second question: Who is the founding emperor of the Livingston Kingdom?”

“Dax.”

“Which emperor is known as ‘Emperor Chu'?”

“Liu Bang.”

Cold sweat began to appear on Cameron's forehead. He did not expect Lachlan to be so difficult to deal with.

His understanding of history was too deep.

“The eighth question…”

“Cameron, forget it.”

Cameron's questions had already exceeded the number of questions that he had agreed on. He had already broken the rules.

When Mandel Talbot saw Cameron, his face turned red, and he could not help but stop him.

A person could lose, but he could not be shameless.

“Mr. Talbot, I want to ask Lachlan the last question. If Lachlan can answer it correctly, I will immediately admit defeat.” Cameron said unwillingly.

“Alright!”

Mandel Talbot sighed and shook his head.

“Question Number Eight: There is a woman called Wang Feng. She only knows how to do household chores, take care of her husband, teach her children, and live a happy life. May I ask who she is?”

Cameron was at a loss.

He had given this question a random answer.

Lachlan was too powerful, so he could not lose.

He did not care about losing face, but he wanted to become a disciple of Mandel Talbot. He had to win, even if it meant using all kinds of methods.

Sure enough.

This question stumped everyone. Even Mandel Talbot frowned as he pondered.

Juliette stared at Lachlan for a long time without saying a word. For some reason, her heart tightened.

Could it be that Lachlan did not know this question?

Previously, he had answered the question immediately, but this time, he had to think about it.

Could it be that Lachlan was going to lose today?

Things had already come to this point. If Lachlan lost, it would be a pity.

Cameron finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Lachlan, I admit that you are very outstanding, but you must not be too arrogant. Even if we are tied in this round, I have asked you a few questions. Of course, I did this to help you improve.”

Everyone felt that Cameron was a bit shameless.

Cameron had clearly lost, yet he shamelessly wanted to fight Lachlan to a draw.

In order to win, he didn't even care about his face.

“Do you think that I can't answer this question?” Lachlan asked indifferently.

“Isn't that right?” Cameron was extremely pleased with himself. No one would know his question, and Lachlan was no exception.

“Your mother!” Lachlan said again.

“Lachlan, why are you cursing at me? You are not worthy of being a student, not worthy of being a scholar.”

“Can he afford to lose?”

“He is still too young and too arrogant.”

Lachlan waved his hand to stop the crowd.

“The answer to the question is: His mother.”

“No, that's impossible. How do you know? How can you answer such a question? Have you investigated me before?” Cameron suddenly panicked. He did not expect that Lachlan would be able to answer his question.

“You are not worthy of my investigation! I guessed the answer, but it is obvious that I guessed it correctly.” Lachlan spread his hands as if everything was under his control.

Everyone looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.

Cameron's questions were too bad. He actually put his mother into the question.

His mother was not even a historical figure!

Cameron had completely embarrassed them.

“Lachlan, you are lying to me. I will kill you!”

Cameron was so angry that he clenched his fist and rushed towards Lachlan.

However, Lachlan's primary Taiji Fist was very powerful.

Lachlan punched out like a bolt of lightning, causing Cameron's nostrils to bleed profusely and splatter all over the ground.

“Lachlan, I will not let you go!”

Cameron was so angry that his head was dizzy. He fiercely threatened Lachlan.

“Enough, Cameron, you have lost your composure!”

Mandel Talbot shouted, causing Cameron to instantly regain his senses.

In the past, Mandel Talbot had always looked up to Cameron and had never called him by his full name.

Now that Mandel Talbot had already blamed him, what should he do?

“Young Master Yilmaz is indeed an outstanding talent. He has such deep knowledge at such a young age.”

“He is truly a genius scholar. His reputation is well-deserved.”

“Young Master Yilmaz, I have a lot of questions. I wonder if you can answer them?”

Cameron was defeated.

It was already set in stone that Lachlan would become a disciple of Mandel Talbot.

If they did not say anything good about Lachlan now, they would never have the chance to do so in the future.

Invisibly, Lachlan had become the most dazzling existence in the library, overshadowing all the other geniuses.
