In the Ming room, Gong Yuyi and the four of them sat on the square bench placed in front of the long table in the order of piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

In front of Gu Yanran, from left to right, are Gong Yuyi (pianist), Mr. Sinan (chess master), Mr. Fang (calligrapher) and Mr. Yin (painter).

"Yanran has seen all the gentlemen." Gu Yanran smiled at the four gentlemen and bent over. "Presumably, the gentlemen already knew Yanran's plan, and Yanran once again thanked the gentlemen for their cooperation.

Okay, let's get down to business, although this competition is the beginning, but in what way or theme should the competition start...... Yan Ran hasn't thought about it yet, so please feel free gentlemen. ”

Gong Yuichi raised his eyebrows. "Let's feel free...... What does this mean, are you going to improvise? ”

"What? i.e. sex? Mr. Yin suddenly lost his good face. Gu Yanran, this master gave you three points of face, and you opened a dyeing workshop? ”

Mr. Fang's expression also sank. "Are you too conceited, or don't you take us artists seriously at all?"

"......" Mr. Sinan did not express his opinion, but just focused on Gu Yanran.

"Gentlemen, please calm your anger and give Yanran a chance to explain.

Yan Ran was not conceited, nor did she mean to look down on a few gentlemen.

If Yan Ran really looked down on the position of artist, how could she ask Ying to be the gentleman of Shangheng Academy?

What Fang Cai said was all Yan Ran's heartfelt words without deep thought, with no intention at all, if he offended a few gentlemen, he would still look at Haihan. Gu Yanran's words were extremely sincere.

After hearing this, the four gentlemen's originally blue faces finally softened a little.

Among them, Mr. Yin and Mr. Fang, who were the most angry, also lost a lot of anger because of Gu Yanran's frankness.

"Let's start with me." Mr. Sinan was the first to open his mouth and said that he wanted to start the competition. "Competitions in the three arts of piano, calligraphy and painting usually take some time to choose a theme.

The chess competition is a test of the practitioner's ability to judge on the spot and the ability to play freely, although it does not take time to start, but the process after the start is the most time-consuming.

In order to be able to end the chess competition as soon as possible, so be it.

I have an endgame inherited from my father's generation, and no one has solved it yet, and I am no exception.

If you can beat this game, you will prove that you are good enough to be a chess master at Shangheng Academy, and you can also convince others of your chess skills. ”

But to be honest, this 'endgame' competition he proposed was a little unfair to Gu Yanran.

After all, it was even his deceased father...... Ye Yu's former national player Si Nan Mingqian was helpless.

Gu Yanran smiled and nodded. "Mr. Sinan, please."

"Okay." Mr. Sinan opened the chess box containing the chess pieces, and Zhizi laid out the endgame on the chessboard that made him bow to the wind.

Since Mr. Sinan began to lay out, the room and outside the Ming room have been very quiet, and you can clearly hear the crisp sound of the chess pieces when they fall on the chessboard.

Gu Yanran stood in front of the chessboard, face to face with Mr. Sinan, observing the chess game on the chessboard.

It's about the time of half a stick of incense.

Mr. Yin and Mr. Fang made moves one after another, but Gong Yuyi still didn't move.

Gu Yanran didn't know why, came to Gong Yuyi, and couldn't help teasing. "Yu...... Mr. Gong, aren't you the number one 'piano idiot' in Yeyu Country? Why, I can't think of a song now? ”

"It's not that I can't think of a song, but I just think this piano competition is completely meaningless." Mr. Gong said.

"Pointless?" Gu Yanran was surprised and wanted to ask him for clarification. "You're ......"

Gong Yuichi stood up and raised his hand to signal. "I throw in the towel!"

As soon as the three words of Gong Yuyi's 'I admit defeat' blurted out, Ming Indoor and Outdoor exploded.

"Throw in the towel?"

"Mr. Gong admits defeat ?!!"

"Admit defeat, admit defeat?"

"Throw in the towel...... Why? ”

"Mr. Gong's admission of defeat doesn't mean that Gu Yanran has won without a fight?"

"Mr. Gong! What do you mean by that? Why throw in the towel?!! ”

"Is it ......?"

"Could it be what?"

"That's it, isn't there a rumor that Gu Yanran seduced Mr. Gong three days ago?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, there's a rumor."

"What do you mean by saying that the reason why Mr. Gong admits defeat is because he has an ...... with Gu Yanran."

"There is a personal relationship!"

"What? Mr. Gong and Gu Yanran have a personal relationship?!! ”

"Shhh Damn it, so loud?!! ”

Gong Yuyi listened to the increasingly radical remarks, frowned, turned to the students, and raised his voice to reprimand. "Enough of that?! Don't you want to shut up your master?!

This master admits defeat, not as unbearable as you say, but he doesn't want to get an axe in front of Mr. Gu again!

Three days ago, in the teacher's piano lesson, Mr. Gu's extraordinary piano skills were beyond the reach of my Gong Yuyi, and other people present at the time could testify to this matter.

If you still think that the master's admission of defeat is selfish, then please ask someone who is confident in your piano skills to come forward and continue to compete with Mr. Gu on behalf of the master. ”

As soon as Gong Yu's words came out, the students who were still vibrating just now immediately seemed to be covered in their mouths, and they didn't say a word.

"Hehehe." Gu Yanran couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, but she also agreed with Gong Yuyi's words. "Mr. Gong admits defeat suddenly, so the competition in piano skills will adapt to the situation and change it slightly.

Everyone present, whether it is a luthier or a student who is confident in his own skills, can come forward and challenge me.

And since it's a challenge, wouldn't it be boring if there were no gains or losses on both sides?

So be it...... If someone who comes forward to challenge me wins, they can ask me anything, and as long as it is not unreasonable or contrary to human morality, I will not refuse. ”

A good deed outside the room asked a question. "If you are asked to resign from the position of Mr. Siyi of Shangheng Academy, you will do the same?"

"Do it right." Gu Yanran responded boldly.

As soon as they heard Gu Yanran say that even if she was allowed to leave the school, the students were shocked.

"It does not hurt nature and reason, and it does not violate human morality...... Still, there are so many requests that can be made. ”

"I even should resign from the position of Mr. Siyi, I'm afraid Gu Yanran is not stimulated, right?"

"Why do I think Gu Yanran said this because she was completely sure of victory?"

"You said that if you ask Gu Yanran to marry after winning the competition, will she agree?"

"Hehe, ask her to marry, provided that you have the ability to win this competition."

"I think you're dying for a long time, aren't you? Don't forget, earlier today, Gu Yanran was carried into the school by the National Teacher! ”

"Oh my! How could I have forgotten the ...... between Gu Yanran and the National Teacher?"
