Chapter 247 (1/2)

Selfish? (2)

That wasn’t supposed to happen. She never spoke like that.

Edward was a little confused, giving a forced grin as a response to Ye Lang’s praise. He didn’t expect this at all.

In his memory, Kesha was quiet, gentle and introverted. This was something only an aggressive girl would say.

He soon understood why when he saw the girl standing next to Kesha.

She must be the one who taught Kesha! It matched her personality!

“There will be two tests, both very simple. The first is to pass all of the IQ questions we set, the other is to beat everyone else. You may choose to do both or just one!” said Kesha gently, showing two fingers.

“Let me remind you all that this doesn’t mean the winner will definitely succeed. The people who failed might not necessarily lose their chance! Everything is determined by your performance!!” added Kesha.

Smart! She was very smart indeed!

If that were the case, even if Edward lost, he still could be her husband. Most importantly, this implied she was picking a husband, a person she loved. It meant she liked the person not for his skill, but his morals.

Thank god she had her eyes on someone. If not, with these rules, it could be useless even if Ye Lang were to defeat everyone. In the end, she might choose someone he’d defeated.

But the person Kesha wanted to choose was Edward. Ye Lang’s intentions will align with hers. She was exactly looking for a reason to eliminate everyone, including Ye Lang!

“I choose to beat everyone!” Ye Lang was the first to speak. If it were before, he’d definitely choose to solve problems, not all this violent killing. It was too uncivilised.

In Ye Lang’s words, he was a civilised prodigal son. He could always pass this job to someone else.

The people here mostly chose to fight because they wanted Kesha to see their dashing, heroic side.

Although we say wisdom is more important than fighting skills, but to trick a lady, no wait, to attract a lady, showing off your fighting skills would usually be more useful than wisdom.

However, when everyone went out for the battle, Ye Lang sat down to have a cup of tea. He didn’t make a move to leave at all, at least not for now.

“Calm down, stay where you are!”

Edward was about to exit but Ye Lang’s voice echoed in his ears. He stopped, stunned.

The distance between Ye Lang and him was huge. If Ye Lang was shouting at him, it was normal but Ye Lang’s voice was very, very soft.

Did he imagine it?

“Don’t question yourself. It’s really me talking to you, but only you’ll be able to hear it. Don’t answer because other people can hear you talking! It’s not your time to shine yet. Come after I deal with some of the people!”

“Don’t ask me why I’m not going now, you’re so stupid. Isn’t it better to let the rest kill each other first? There’ll be fewer opponents! This is also to test your wisdom!”
