Lin Xiaoyue's expression calmed down.

"That's good. Then take good care of your sister."

"Yes!"

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and let Lin Xiaoyue lean on his shoulder.

In the afternoon.

Lin Xiaoyue and the others once again set off from the Imperial Advisor's residence to participate in the competition.

Because the second half of the game had been prepared for a long time, everyone was much calmer.

When they arrived, they didn't wait in the side hall. They were led into the main hall by Eunuch Hu.

After greeting Emperor Yan, everyone took their seats.

At this moment, Emperor Yan was no longer smiling like he did in the morning. Instead, he had a serious expression.

Lin Xiaoyue had her own guesses, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

Not long after Lin Xiaoyue and the others took their seats, Chu Jin's envoy arrived.

Lin Xiaoyue saw that Xu Yan's expression was much better than when he left in the morning. However, he no longer had the same look as when they first met.

It seemed that she had dealt a huge blow to him this morning.

Everyone had arrived, and the competition soon began.

Lin Xiaoyue brought Liang Chengcai and Mo Fei to show the questions that the Great Yan had prepared for Xu Yan and the others.

Compared to the nervousness of Chu Jin's envoy, the ministers of the Great Yan were calm this time.

Similar to the order Chu Jin had set the questions, they were ordered from easy to difficult.

Lin Xiaoyue realized that Xu Yan's attainments in arithmetic were indeed not low.

Including the three questions she had chosen from the existing questions, Xu Yan had actually solved five of her questions in a row.

That also brought some hope to Chu Jin's envoy.

The two princes, Chu and Jin, stared at Xu Yan, hoping that he could maintain his condition and continue forward.

On the Great Yan's side, Emperor Yan and his ministers were no longer as calm as before.

Someone frowned.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaoyue even had a smile on her face.

"The last five questions are even more difficult. Elder Xu, please," Lin Xiaoyue said.

She remembered that they had also reminded her when she passed the fifth question in the first half of the competition.

She could skip the questions if she couldn't solve them.

She wanted to remind him, but after some thought, she changed her mind.

After all, she had already solved ten questions so the opponent could not skip any.

As long as Xu Yan could not answer one of the questions, he would lose.

Xu Yan glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and cupped his hands at her without saying anything.

Only those who were standing close to him could notice that beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Only he himself knew that apart from the first three questions, he had answered the fourth and fifth questions by the skin of his teeth and almost failed to solve them.
