Chapter 704: 148: Stunning_2

Shen Lijun guessed four lantern riddles in one breath, leaving the onlookers around her somewhat astonished.

But she hit a snag with the fifth riddle.

What does "the fragrance has faded by April in the human world" refer to?

Seeing Shen Lijun in this state, the owner stepped forward, "Young lady, the name of the fifth riddle’s answer is a Chinese herbal medicine. If you can guess it right, you can enjoy free consumption at our tea house today."

Perhaps certain Shen Lijun wouldn’t guess it, the owner’s face wore a smug expression, "If you can’t figure it out, you can let your friends try as well, but no cheating with cell phones."

Hearing this, Shen Lijun looked toward Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, do you know the answer to this riddle?"

"It’s nothing," Lin Wu spoke in a light tone, "Owner, are you sure my answer will count as well?"

The owner glanced at Lin Wu, "Of course it will! I, Zhao, have always kept my word."

Traditional Chinese medicine is in decline in modern-day Hua Country, while Western medicine prevails.

For someone like Lin Wu, at most not beyond eighteen, how could such young people possibly understand Chinese herbs.

So, she must be bluffing.

Lin Wu slightly raised her eyes, her gaze settling on the lantern, in a calm voice, "The fragrance has faded by April in the human world is ’Chun Bujian’ (Spring Does Not Appear)."

Spring Does Not Appear?

At these words, Boss Zhao froze for a moment.

How could this be?

Could it be a wild guess?

Lin Wu went on, "How about it, boss, did I guess correctly?"

Correct, of course, it’s correct.

But Boss Zhao felt something was amiss, always feeling that a young lady couldn’t so easily guess the Chinese herbal medicine riddle he posed.

After a moment, Boss Zhao continued, "Correct, the answer is Spring Does Not Appear. However, young lady, since you’re so brilliant, how about guessing three more? If you can guess them right as well, you’ll be awarded a VIP card for lifetime free consumption at our tea house, without any limits on the number of visits."

As soon as these words were uttered, the onlookers at the scene were somewhat amazed.

Murmurs of discussion were non-stop.

"This owner is really rich, isn’t he? Lifelong free consumption, and unlimited visits."

"Do you think such an opportunity is easy to come by? The riddles are definitely very difficult."

"Getting one of the three right would already be lucky, but a young girl guessing all of them? Impossible!"

Lin Wu met Boss Zhao’s gaze directly, her lips curling into a slight smile, "Please enlighten me."

Boss Zhao’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

This young lady really has some guts.

He hoped she would keep her confidence in what was to come.

Boss Zhao then unveiled the second riddle.

Lin Wu only glanced at it, "Deeply scheming is Cangzhu."

The answer was spot-on.

Boss Zhao was stunned for a moment.

If the first one was a fluke, what about the second?

Another fluke?

Before Boss Zhao could collect his thoughts, Lin Wu continued, "A mother worries about her wandering son refers to Xiang Si Zi."

"Returning from stepping on flowers with butterflies circling one’s knees is Xiang Fu."

Now, not only was Boss Zhao very surprised, but the onlookers were also quite astonished!

They had thought Lin Wu was just boasting.

But unexpectedly, what she said was impeccable.

"Damn! She got it all right! The answers I found on my phone are Xiang Si Zi and Xiang Fu; this young lady is too amazing, isn’t she?"

"Applause--"

The crowd erupted into deafening applause.

Even Shen Lijun and Lin Guodong instantly became adoring fans.

Suppressing his shock, Boss Zhao continued, "When the youth are strong, Huaxia is strong. Young lady, in all my life, I’ve never admired anyone—but you are the first. Please, come inside."

Lin Wu nodded slightly and followed Boss Zhao into the tea house.

Little did they know, this scene was fully witnessed by a man sitting in a private room on the second floor.

Suddenly, he set down his teacup and looked at the person opposite him, "What do you think?"

"She’s a very spirited young girl, but..." she’s too young, her age doesn’t match at all.

After all, they were looking for the Mad Doctor!

How could the Mad Doctor possibly be a young girl?

Moreover.

All they had seen was merely on the surface, nobody knew if there was a master behind Lin Wu guiding her.

Lu Ye also arrived at South Street with his family.

He opened his mobile map and quickly saw a moving red dot. Lu Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at Grandma Lu, saying in a deep voice, "Grandma, let’s go this way, there are fewer people here."

"Okay." Grandma Lu nodded her head.

The rest of the Lu family followed the footsteps of Lu Ye and Grandma Lu.

Lu Lingli, holding Bai Lu’s hand, followed behind. "Mom, I always feel that Lu Da is acting a bit weird tonight."

"Weird in what way?" Bai Lu asked.

Lu Lingli narrowed her eyes slightly, "Can’t really put my finger on it, just a feeling... like he came with us tonight with a purpose."

If he didn’t have a purpose, why would Lu Ye have come to watch the fireworks show with them?

Bai Lu just smiled without speaking.

Curious, Lu Lingli asked, "Mom, what are you smiling about?"

Bai Lu immediately stopped smiling, "It’s nothing."

Of course, she couldn’t tell Lu Lingli that Lu Ye came to South Street for the fireworks show because of Zhang Xianxian.

Actually, Bai Lu’s sudden urge to see the fireworks show was also because of Zhang Xianxian.

She had heard that the Cultural and Tourism Bureau of South Street had invited Zhang Xianxian to play the piano tonight, so she wanted to play matchmaker for Lu Ye and Zhang Xianxian.

It just so happened that Lu Manshan was also single right now.

As their mother, she couldn’t play favorites, so let the brothers compete fairly!

It was up to fate to decide who could win over Zhang Xianxian.

So, without even thinking about it, it was obvious why Lu Ye suddenly decided to come to watch the fireworks show with them.

It was definitely because of Zhang Xianxian.

Hearing this, Lu Lingli slightly furrowed her brows, she was very curious as to what exactly was going on in her mother’s mind.

After walking through a small alleyway, they bumped into Xue Jinghao head-on.

"Third Brother, Grandma Lu! What a coincidence, are you also here to see the fireworks show?" Seeing Lu Ye and the others, Xue Jinghao couldn’t contain his excitement.

What a fateful encounter.

Grandma Lu replied with a smile, "Yes, what a coincidence. Sixth Xue, since you’re alone, why don’t you watch the fireworks show with us?"

"No, no, Grandma Lu, I’ve made plans with some other friends already. Coincidentally, this friend is also known to Third Brother." With that, Xue Jinghao looked towards Lu Ye and continued, "Third Brother, since you’re here anyway, why don’t you join me? You can also say hello to Sister Lin."

Lu Ye nodded slightly, "Okay."

With that, Lu Ye looked towards Grandma Lu, "Grandma, I’m going to accompany Sixth Xue, we’ll get in touch by phone later."

Xue Jinghao was stunned.

He only said it casually, without expecting Lu Ye to agree!

Why was Third Brother so agreeable today?
