Heavenly Court sells good everyday

Chapter 51: Concentric Questions and Answers
The Emperor of Heaven frowned as he watched from the outside.

He always only said that Tao Ruo and Zhu Jin were just good friends, and when they met, they would just sit and drink tea and chat with each other.He really is too naive, not everyone is as gentlemanly as he is.

Looking at the kung fu for a while, they are hugging the waist, touching the face, and flirting!When Tao Ruo was with him, never before had she acted like a young girl, who was so agile and coquettish.

Can't go on like this, he has to think of another countermeasure!
The shopkeeper saw that Tao Ruo and Tao Ruo both wore blue belts and looked sweet, so they guessed that they were a young couple. "The two of you have been to the Concentric Q&A. It is said that the rewards this year are very rich, including magic weapons and spirit beast eggs, and His Royal Highness the Night King seems to have added additional rewards!"

"Spiritual beast eggs?" Tao Ruo was a little interested when she heard it. "How do you want to play?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's very simple, just answer ten questions. If both of you have the same answer, you will be rewarded."

Tao Ruo said enthusiastically, "It seems quite interesting."

Zhu Jin said, "You eat first, and we'll go and have a look after eating."

"Okay!" Tao Ruo quickly disposed of all the food, and then followed Zhu Jin to the palace.

A big arena was set up outside the Yewang Mansion, surrounded by people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors. They couldn't squeeze in, so they could only watch from a distance from the outside.

There was a couple on the stage who were answering questions. They sat on the left and the right, with a water mirror in the middle, so they couldn't see each other.Presumably it was to prevent eye contact and communicate with each other.After the host asked questions, the two wrote the answers on paper respectively, and then showed them to everyone.If the answer is the same, go to the next question.Once they are not matched, the challenge will fail and a new couple will come on stage.

Zhu Jin pulled Tao Ruo into the crowd, watched it intently for a while, and found that although the questions were changeable, they basically revolved around the two people's usual preferences. "I feel that we should be able to get rewards, do you want to try?"

"Sure!" Tao Ruo was quite interested in that spirit beast egg.

Zhu Jin clung to Tao Ruo's ear and said softly, "No matter what questions you ask later, you can answer according to your own preferences. For example, if you ask me what I like to eat the most, you can answer what you like, peaches. You come, I will cooperate with you."

"Okay!" Tao Ruo nodded, expressing understanding.

So the two came out from the crowd and walked around to the registration office at the gate of the palace to sign up.There were quite a few people who signed up, and it took almost an hour to wait in line after the registration.

After sitting down on the stage, Tao Ruo felt a familiar gaze from the crowd watching her.Immediately collected himself, turned his eyes, trying to find the familiar person.However, the faces off stage were all so strange.

"First question, please write down the girl's favorite food on the paper."

The first question is very simple, it is simply a sub-question.The second and third questions are also very simple, but the latter questions gradually become tricky.The age of the woman, the family background of the man, etc., all came out.Fortunately, Tao Ruo and Zhu Jin have been good friends for many years, they often play together and know each other very well.In addition to their previous strategy, Tao Ruo didn't need to think too much, as long as he answered according to his own situation.And Zhu Jin is usually more careful and smart, and after calculation, she can basically match Tao Ruo's answers.After correcting nine questions in a row, the audience applauded louder and louder, and the spectators became more and more excited.There are speculations, it seems that the first royal family award will be given out tonight!
"One last question." The voice of the supporter was also excited like never before. "Besides this little brother, has the girl ever had someone else she liked? Tell the truth and hide it deliberately, but it will give birth to demons!"

Although the host specially reminded, but at this time, of course, "no" should be written.This is a concentric question and answer, writing "yes", what a shame!
After Zhu Jin wrote "no" quickly, she waited for a while, but there was no applause and booing from the audience like before.It stands to reason that this is already the last question, everyone's reaction should be stronger!Zhu Jin turned her head to look at Tao Ruo. Her figure was somewhat blurred by the water mirror, but she could still be seen holding a pen in a daze.

This guy... what is he thinking, why hesitate!Just as he was about to urge her, he saw that she finally lifted up the written paper.After a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

The Heavenly Emperor in the crowd looked at the word "no" in Tao Ruo's hand, but found it particularly eye-catching.

"Tonight, the first group of couples who cleared the customs is finally born!" The host announced excitedly loudly, removed the water mirror, and led Tao Ruo and Zhu Jin to stand in the middle.

"Congratulations to you both! According to His Highness the Night King's instructions, the first couple who cleared the level tonight will receive a pair of mandarin duck daggers in addition to the regular rewards." A maid came out with a brocade box, and the host came up. Before opening it, a bright light flashed in the box.When the light dissipated, two daggers were clearly lying inside, one red and one white, shining brightly, one could tell at a glance that they must be extraordinary.

"Wow! Could it be the dagger made by His Royal Highness the Night King himself!" There were bursts of admiration from the crowd.

What a surprise!Tao Ruo was also very happy.

"Exactly!" The host said, closing the box again, and said with a smile. "However, in view of the fact that in previous years, brothers and sisters pretended to be couples to participate in the Q&A, this year we have added a verification link to the award acceptance process. That is, the two must kiss to show that they are a real couple before they can receive the award."

"Ah?" Tao Ruo was immediately embarrassed, looked at Zhu Jin, and asked him with her gaze: What should I do?
"Verify! Verify!"

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Shouts erupted from the crowd!As the saying goes, watching the excitement is not a big deal!

Facing the surging crowd, the host was also in high spirits, and said to Tao Ruo and the others with a smile: "You two, just kiss and verify your identity, and you can take away the customs clearance reward and this pair of daggers made by His Royal Highness the Night King." Oh! If not, then report to the Yewang Palace for the crime of pretending to be a couple and disturbing the concentric question and answer, and you will be arrested and convicted, okay?"

When the booing started below, Tao Ruo was very embarrassed, pulled Zhu Jin, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, let's go."

Zhu Jin smiled at the host and said, "My daughter-in-law is thin-skinned and shy, so we don't want this reward and leave it to others." After speaking, she pulled Tao Ruo up and prepared to step down.

Unexpectedly, the host stepped forward, blocked their way, and said with a half-smile, "Can I understand that you two are pretending to be a couple to cheat rewards?"

"Of course not, we just..."

The host snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, save it at the Yewang Mansion. Come and arrest me!"

As soon as the words fell, several black shadows flashed in the sky above the ring and came straight towards them.

But at the same time, a person suddenly appeared between Zhu Jin and Tao Ruo, said "go", and grabbed their wrists one by one, jumped in the air, and quickly flew away from Wushuang City.When the wasteland on the outskirts of the city fell, the elder in black who rescued them turned around, and at the same time, his figure changed, his jade face and lips were indifferent, and his cold eyes flashed across the faces of the two of them.

"Your Majesty!" Tao Ruo and Zhu Jin froze for a moment, then lowered their heads, as if they knew they had made a big mistake.

"Your Majesty...why are you here?" Tao Ruo asked hesitantly.

Could it be that since entering the city, he has always felt that Youdao's familiar eyes are staring at him, could it be the Emperor of Heaven?
