Chapter 212: Chapter 212

At this moment, Bai Wanwan was also secretly observing Bai Susu’s every move. She thought that if Bai Susu were a reborn person, she would definitely step forward and answer the question as she did earlier, making a big splash.

But to Bai Wanwan’s surprise, this time Bai Susu just watched the nine-curved Linglong Pearl emitting a yellow glow quietly like everyone else, without any intention of stepping forward.

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan couldn’t help but feel secretly puzzled.

Bai Susu’s reaction didn’t seem like someone who knew the answer to the question.

Or was she deliberately pretending right now?

While Bai Wanwan was perplexed and full of concerns, several noble ladies skilled in needlework stepped forward to try.

However, without exception, they all returned disappointed, none of them succeeded.

Upon seeing this, the smugness on Feng Qingyang’s face couldn’t help but appear.

He didn’t believe that this could stump the people of Da Qin.

After more than a dozen people tried unsuccessfully, Feng Qingyang’s expression gradually turned grim.

The envoys from other countries also looked on with a mindset of enjoying the spectacle, watching the Da Qin officials helplessly.

Sitting in his seat, Feng Wuchen clenched his fists tightly at this moment.

He had clearly been notified of these difficult questions beforehand, yet he still couldn’t find the answer.

If he could figure out the answer to this tough question and solve it now, it would not only please his father but also spread his fame far and wide.

But he simply didn’t know how to thread the gold wire through the inside of the nine-curved Linglong Pearl.

Bai Wanwan certainly wanted to step forward and solve this difficult problem.

But if she did, wouldn’t it mean Feng Wuchen would realize that she had known the answer all along but chose to hide it from him?

If Feng Wuchen thought so, even though she had already entered the Prince Mansion, it would still be a simple matter for him, a prince, to maneuver against her.

So she couldn’t reveal how to pass through the nine-curved Linglong Pearl now.

Seeing everyone at a loss, Li Cheng, standing beside the emperor, hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, this nine-curved Linglong Pearl... doesn’t seem that hard to thread."

With these words, Feng Qingyang immediately shot a sharp look at Li Cheng.

If it were simple, how could so many people be stumped by it?

After hearing Feng Qingyang’s words, Li Cheng quickly bent over with his head down, showing utmost respect as he said, "To answer Your Majesty, this servant... approximately knows how to thread this gold wire through the nine-curved Linglong Pearl."

"Truly?" Feng Qingyang’s face lit up with joy.

He knew Li Cheng to be a most steady servant who would never make a promise lightly.

Moreover, if such a difficult question was solved by a mere lowly eunuch from Da Qin, it would be an embarrassment solely for their Western Xia.

"This servant dares not deceive Your Majesty, if Your Majesty allows, this servant is willing to go down and give it a try." Li Cheng said at this time.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang immediately nodded, "I permit it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Having said this, Li Cheng walked step by step towards a large tree in the Imperial Garden.

Seeing this scene, many people revealed puzzled expressions.

What was Manager Li doing?

Only Bai Susu and Bai Wanwan, who knew the answer involving ants threading through the nine-curved Linglong Pearl, understood that Li Cheng was searching the ground for suitable ants.

Before long, Li Cheng indeed found a small anthill under a tree and then informed a young eunuch beside him to catch a few ants.

Seeing this, someone couldn’t help but ask, "Manager Li, what are you doing catching ants?"

Li Cheng then replied with a smile, "You all might not know, but before entering the palace, I spent a lot of time in the countryside climbing trees and digging holes."

"The ant nests I’ve dug, if not ten, there were at least seven or eight."

"I remember those ant nests, each one was twisted and winding, probably even more complex than the inside of the nine-curved Linglong Pearl."

"So I thought, since ants can navigate such complex routes, threading through the twists and turns inside the nine-curved Linglong Pearl should not be a problem, right?"

With these words, many people present showed expressions of contemplation. For more chapters visıt novel·fire·net

Meanwhile, Li Cheng had someone bring honey, pulled a fine hair from his head, and tied it around the tiny waist of the ant in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Bai Susu realized that Li Cheng had found the answer to the problem.

She was equally shocked: inside the Great Qin Dynasty, there truly were hidden talents!

Had Mr. Li not shown such prowess today, she would have thought he was merely a subservient eunuch.

But on further reflection, she realized how biased she had been against Li Cheng.

Leaving other things aside, just the fact that Li Cheng had been favored by the capricious Feng Qingyang for decades already proved he was by no means a simple character.

In the future, she must never underestimate anyone around her.

And under the influence of the smoke, the small ant placed inside the nine-curved Linglong Pearl quickly crawled to the other end following the scent of honey and smoke.

Seeing this, Da Qin officials couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, while they also couldn’t help but show a proud look on their faces.

See, just how many talented people Da Qin had!

Even the eunuchs could help the emperor ease his worries and solve problems.

What right did people from other countries have to compare with their talented Da Qin?

And they still dared to be dissatisfied with Da Qin.

As the moment the gold wire was pulled through, the crowd around immediately erupted with cries of cheer.

"It’s threaded through, it’s threaded through! This idea worked!"

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, a magical scene occurred.

They saw the nine-curved Linglong Pearl, which originally emitted a faint golden yellow glow, suddenly retract its golden light towards the inside of the Pearl.

Immediately thereafter, the winding parts threaded with gold wire underwent a sudden change.

The gold wire seemed to be instantly filled with an invisible force, abruptly transforming into a small golden dragon that moved continuously inside the nine-curved Linglong Pearl.

And as it swayed and moved, the internal routes of the nine-curved Linglong Pearl seemed to change secretly, becoming more rugged and complex.

The small dragon that suddenly appeared inside also seemed like a true dragon trapped within, continuously struggling inside.

This scene left everyone present astonished.

It turned out that everything Feng Qingyang said was true; once the gold wire was threaded through, the "true dragon" inside could be seen.

Seeing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but secretly wonder: Could there really be a true dragon inside?
