Is the eighth prince a fool? Of course not, he is a bit of a boss at best.

Why would he be so adamant that Du Ziyuan could not surpass him?

First, because he has already won the 5th place, which is a very high ranking, who can be ranked above him is not the pride of the sky? And Du Ziyuan is just from Aolan, who is much smaller than the Qifeng Country, and the sense of superiority brought by the national honor makes him subconsciously unwilling to believe that he will be surpassed by people from small countries.

It's like one day, China is surpassed by other countries in the Olympics, then everyone will generally be the first to think of the United States and the United Kingdom, if someone says that Vietnam and the Philippines are ahead of China, then the first reaction will definitely not believe.

And the more important reason is that Du Ziyuan's exit early on the third day was too confusing.

Two and a half days and 200 pages, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that it is impossible. Du Ziyuan is not an immortal cultivator, and the eighth prince is unwilling to believe that he can do such a thing no matter what.

As for the writing pen, if that thing is used to draw, it is very difficult, and most people can't even draw straight lines without months of training. He had seen the paintings that Du Ziyuan drew with a pen at the exchange meeting that day, and the painting style of "Impermanence Arrives" is very different. To say that this is progress in a few days would be even less believable.

But since Shang Shu has announced that Du Ziyuan is the author of "Impermanence", there must be no controversy at least on this point.

How did he do such the impossible?

[He cheated!] This was the first thought of the eighth prince.

Why is this the way of thinking? Because he cheats himself, and in the eyes of cheaters, everyone looks like people who can cheat.

200 pages in 2 days is simply impossible, and the most acceptable explanation for him is that Du Ziyuan must have prepared this comic in advance, and then took it out during the competition and pretended to be his own temporary creation.

As for the details of why he left the scene so conspicuously early on the morning of the third day, he had been completely forgotten by the eighth prince.

He determined that Du Ziyuan was cheating, and he could only see evidence of Du Ziyuan's cheating in his eyes.

At the same time, it is also because he simply cannot accept the reality of his loss.

In order to keep this merit all these years, he was cautious, and when he saw that the beautiful little daughter-in-law could not be snatched hard, and when he saw that the unpleasant slave could not be killed, he was almost driven crazy, and at this time, if he suddenly wanted to disperse the merit, it would be more painful than asking him to die.

This is also a psychological defense mechanism of human beings, and when faced with a tense situation of frustration or conflict, people's internal psychological activities have an adaptive tendency to consciously or unconsciously relieve troubles and reduce inner uneasiness in order to restore psychological balance and stability. It doesn't have anything to do with IQ or anything anymore.

And what the eighth prince said is indeed reasonable, which even the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who has known the result for a long time, is skeptical. He looked at Du Ziyuan, hoping that Du Ziyuan could give an explanation.

Du Ziyuan just said: "He can't do it just because he's stupid, and I'm not stupid." ”

"This ......" the Ministry of Rites Shangshu smiled bitterly, because Du Ziyuan's words had almost included everyone, and he himself was suspected of being shot.

Duanmu Xing also stood up at the right time and said: "This kind of suspicion is simply nonsense, it's just 200 pages of paintings, what can't be drawn? Do we have to accompany you to verify the authenticity of every person you suspect? I don't have so much time to waste on you." ”

The eighth prince's face changed, and he also realized his powerlessness alone. In the absence of definite evidence, Du Ziyuan had no need to ignore his doubts at all.

Legally speaking, this situation requires him to show evidence of Du Ziyuan's cheating, rather than asking Du Ziyuan to show evidence that he did not cheat.

[Damn!] can't be overwhelmed by power, and the eighth prince suddenly felt restrained everywhere.

But at this time, Guo Yong, who had been watching from the side and not speaking, suddenly said: "Indeed, it is too troublesome to verify every one, but this first place has enough value to verify, if people know that we gave the first place to a cheater, it will be a big shame." ”

"Elder Guo, pay attention to your tone," Duanmu Xing said immediately, "There is no evidence that Shan Feng Teacher cheated now. ”

"Hmph! Guo Yong snorted coldly, although his status was not as good as Duanmu Xing, he had a lot of merit, and he was not afraid of her. Then, he looked at Du Ziyuan: "Shanfeng, just said how to draw "Impermanence" in 2 days, and there is nothing unseemly, why do you hide it, make everyone doubt you." Could it be that you really have a ghost in your heart?"

"Elder Guo!" At this time, Liang Yuxing on the side suddenly stood up, "Every writer has some secrets about his own creation, don't you know this as a senior? ”

"Liang Yuxing!" Seeing this, the eighth prince was anxious, and roared at Liang Yuxing's real name, "Why do you want to help him as a foreigner all the time?

Liang Yuxing turned to look at him when he heard this, and said with a calm face: "It is you who lost the face of the Seven Blades Country, our Seven Blades Country has never been a country that cannot afford to lose, but we must at least have the courage to accept defeat, your appearance is really too unreasonable, I announce in the name of the President of the Seven Blades Association that you have been expelled." ”

"You !!" the eighth prince was stunned. Only then did he remember that although the person standing in front of him had just been crushed by Du Ziyuan, except for Du Ziyuan, this person was also crushed by all the others!

He was the first person in the history of the Seven Blades to take over as president of the association before he was 20 years old, and he grew the association fivefold in four years. Although he is usually very kind, he is more courageous than anyone else in important matters.

Now that he has been expelled from the Seven Blades Association, this is almost equivalent to the eighth prince not wanting to mix in the Seven Blades Country in the future, even his family may completely abandon him.

"No...... You can't ......."

The eighth prince's dejected appearance was seen by Guo Yong, and he secretly scolded the waste in his heart, and at the same time he was reluctant to bear the egg of the ink dragon in his heart. Anyway, the setting moon of the seven stars couldn't affect him, so he continued to ask Du Ziyuan: "Now is not the time to hide, Shanfeng, if you don't dare to explain, then don't blame us for depriving you of your identity as the first place." ”

"Huh. "No matter how good Du Ziyuan's temper is, it is impossible to endure Guo Yong's repeated targeting. The two of them had no grievances or hatreds, but since this guy wanted to help the eighth prince, Du Ziyuan didn't need to give him face.
