The Xu Family's servant looked at Young Master Xu's expression, knowing it was unlikely he could solve this riddle; he was getting increasingly anxious. If he couldn't solve it, he would have to kneel and kowtow, admitting defeat three times loudly.
The young master was the legitimate grandson of the Xu Family's eldest branch and represented the family's honor. How could he bend his knee to Gu Jin'an, who came from a farming background?
The servant was about to lose his mind, glaring vehemently at Liu Sheng. This fool had suggested kneeling and kowtowing as a forfeit, putting the young master in such a predicament.
Liu Sheng, oblivious to the tension, flattered Xu Zhao Ming: "Brother Xu, your knowledge is renowned in Jinling. You will surely solve this riddle, and the Gu Family should prepare to kneel."
Xu Zhao Ming's face was beyond unpleasant, it was stormy. If Liu Sheng were his servant, he would have had him dragged off and beaten!
