At this moment, the General Affairs Department.

As Ningzhe expected, there were two young men here among a pile of silk, holding spells and looking serious.

Beside them, there were some staff from the General Affairs Department standing, all of them looking nervous, as if they were afraid of some accident.

In addition to the people planning this Moon-by-Moon Festival event, there are even many mobile personnel from Yuehai Pavilion and the General Affairs Department, who are all staying here and making preparations.

Facts have proved that there was indeed an accident a few minutes ago...

Originally, according to the process, the silk drop ensured that every tourist who admired the lanterns would have at least one.

However, for some unknown reason, the silk in a certain area suddenly went out of control, and all of them killed a poor tourist in unison.

The sudden change frightened the two young alchemists. They hurriedly cast spells to stop it, but no matter how hard they tried, it had no effect.

Just when one of them gritted his teeth and was about to use the secret technique, they suddenly realized the identity of the person who did it.

It's... Ningzhe!

After discovering this person's identity, the two young men stopped casting spells in unison, and then began to manipulate other silks as if nothing happened.

As for someone controlling Silk to cause trouble?

Sorry, we didn't see anything.

Ever since they were "recruited", they have been on tenterhooks every day.

After all...they were the confidants who assassinated the Tianquan star!

Although the assassination attempt failed, they did it after all, so they were always afraid that Ningzhe would settle the score later...

However, as time passed, Ningzhe seemed to have completely forgotten about this incident, and they gradually relaxed...until today Ningzhe appeared in their sights again.

Moreover, as soon as they met, they got a big one for them.

Obviously the last time I saw Ningzhe, he was still a weakling without any martial arts value! How come he has such strong mental power today, and can even overwhelm the two of them effortlessly...

Out of guilt and fear, the two young men immediately decided to pretend they had seen nothing.

And then... when they saw Ningzhe holding Hutao's hand, the two young men were very sensible and continued to control the changing patterns of the silk, providing perfect assistance for Ningzhe to "seduce girls".

But then, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, an exotic woman with a terrifying aura walked towards Ningzhe again.

The most terrifying thing is that the sense of oppression that woman brought to them... was even better than the deterrent caused by Ningzhe's previous attack!

Along the way, they tried to slow down the woman with a lot of silk and a lot of questions, but they couldn't stop her for a long time, and finally let her walk in front of Ningzhe.

After that... they didn't dare to look at it. In the end, they only breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the Nata woman left alone.

"..."

At the General Affairs Department, two young men wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, took a deep breath, and started the next step of the operation.

...

Look back to the commercial street.

Not long after Jiang Guo broke free from the shackles of silk, he saw the silks above starting to float, and subconsciously took two steps back.

As for Xingqiu, he watched with interest the silk that began to change in the sky.

The silks change rapidly, one bunch after another connected together, as if dancing in the air.

Then, all the silks were connected together to form a huge plane.

[The second item of the lantern riddle activity, puzzle answering]

[In this link, everyone will answer the content on the silk plane together, and the first person to answer correctly will be rewarded]

[Every person needs to use a piece of silk as a price for each answer. If the answer is correct, the silk and the reward can be kept; if the answer is wrong, the silk and the second round of rewards will be lost]

[Note: All the silk obtained by answering the questions correctly in the first round belongs to the person who answered the question]

Immediately afterwards, several bundles of ribbons connected to the plane appeared below the silk, and the end points of the ribbons were wrapped with gift bags one after another.

For a moment, everyone raised their heads and looked at the silk plane above.

Gift bags and everything else are secondary. These silks are really beautiful!

The more questions you answer correctly, the more silk you get!

Whether it is businessman instinct or pure love for silk, people's enthusiasm has been fully mobilized.

Even Ningzhe looked up into the sky, wondering what kind of questions would come up in the second round.

Well, although he was ordered not to participate, it didn't say he couldn't "help" others participate, right?

Thoughts passed by, and the silk plane above began to reveal the problems inside.

[Question 1. Verse: Ruin the falling flowers in three months of rain, destroy the willows in nine autumn frosts. Selected from which book?]

As soon as this question came up, everyone was shocked.

Those who had been gearing up to win had their eyes widened, as if they had no idea that such a question was being asked.

Don't talk about them, even Ningzhe frowned slightly.

This poem... comes from the fifteenth chapter of "Water Margin". When Ningzhe wrote "Liyue Zhongyi Water Margin", he also placed it in this chapter for description.

The real difficulty with this issue lies not with the books, but with the poetry itself.

Falling flowers and willows are both sad images, which are easily reminiscent of another book by Ningzhe, "The Story of the Stone".

"Yes...it's "The Story of the Stone"!"

Sure enough, someone soon gave his answer.

but...

The next second, the brave answerer suddenly found that a piece of silk from his waist was missing.

"..."

The uncle looked remorseful, but the silk had flown away and he was helpless.

"Um..."

With the first loser, other people who were eager to try also stopped their impulse and started to wait and see.

"Destroy the falling flowers in March rain, destroy the willows in nine autumn frosts..."

Seeing that everyone looked hesitant, Xingqiu frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Using poems as the core of books is a technique that Ningzhe likes to use... So at least it can be concluded that this poem is definitely selected from Ningzhe's works.

Secondly...the uncle told "The Story of the Stone" and then failed...

"The answer is "Water Margin of Liyue Loyalty and Righteousness", selected from the fifteenth chapter of the book: Yang Zhi escorts Mo Ladan, and Wu uses his wits to obtain the Guide to the Rebirth."

Xingqiu was about to speak, but suddenly someone else interrupted him.

The visitor was wearing a Confucian robe, had a gentle smile, and looked like a humble gentleman.

Take a closer look, this person is actually...

"Ning Yu?!"

Xingqiu couldn't understand, but was shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the silk plane floating in the sky shone with light, and the gift under the first ribbon flew towards Ning Yu.

"That's not right! Didn't Ning Yu not participate in the first round?!"

After being stunned for a moment, Xingqiu suddenly reacted when he saw the gift bag floating into Ning Yu's hand.

However, just when he looked at Ningzhe with an unhappy expression, he suddenly saw Ningzhe's meaningful smile.

"..."

Xingqiu turned his head and looked up at the sky seriously.
Chapter completed!
