"But, Huapei, it's just a blank card. Smith was a little puzzled, "Does it mean anything?"

Yes, one of the four cards is a blank card with nothing on it.

A blank card, as long as you have enough imagination, can say a reason, and because of this, what Huapei wants to explain needs to be very convincing to be credible.

"One of the details you may have overlooked. Hua Pei pounded his forehead and said, "I don't know why this card is gently glued to the back of my card, maybe you didn't notice it for this reason, but I was impressed." ”

"It can't be the old man's saliva, right?" said a disgusted voice from the other side of the communication room.

"Yes. The tone of Hua Pei's reply also indicated that he was in a very disgusting mood when he recalled the incident, "No, more precisely, his phlegm." ”

He ...... Not very well then?" Smith asked in a somewhat skeptical tone, after all, the phlegm could be imagined as the old man coughing while sorting out the cards.

"No, now I think he did it on purpose. "He's trying to hint at something." ”

"What can phlegm foam imply? Could it be that this fourth junior brother is very hated by the master?"

"No, parasitic. "I remember now that the teacher deliberately coughed to let the phlegm spread onto the card, and then let the card stick to my card." ”

"Wait, does that have anything to do with parasitism?" Smith immediately questioned.

It's not that Smith doesn't trust this senior brother, it's just that he hopes to make the other party's reasoning more rigorous and prevent mistakes by questioning.

"Have you done any research on living things?" said Warpei rhetorically to Smith.

"You know, I'm exhausted just trying to take care of people. Smith was clearly reluctant to admit his shortcomings generously.

"Parasites generally have the ability to adsorb, and the seeds of parasitic plants also have a lot of mucus, which is convenient for birds to spread and stick to other trees. Hua Pei simply popularized the knowledge.

"Just like that, do you deduce that the fourth junior brother is a parasite?" Based on this alone, Smith could not accept Hua Pei's reasoning.

"Think about it, if the old man wants to hint in a limited time, what else can he do under our noses?"

"Are you saying that when the old man sent us cards, he was already restrained by the fourth junior brother?"

"Otherwise, think about it, why did the old man send us four cards, but he didn't tell us any clues? The fourth junior brother has not heard any news for so many years? The old man has a strange temper, but he is not bored to play this kind of game for us. ”

"Seems to make some sense......"

"And I think that the master gave us these cards, not his own meaning, but the meaning of the fourth junior brother, but the fourth junior brother didn't want to give us more information about him, so his cards were blank, making us think nonsense. ”

"Why would the fourth junior brother do such a boring thing?"

"Low self-esteem and pride. Hua Pei replied without emotion, "I speculate that the fourth junior brother's background is quite ordinary, but his ability is very outstanding, so he will be favored by the teacher, but because of his background, his achievements in just a few years after the master's departure are far inferior to ours, and he has been unknown." It hurt his pride, and that's why he wanted to challenge us like crazy. ”

"Your inference is wonderful, but there is no basis for it. After a long silence, Smith made his point.

"I think so too. Hua Pei agreed with Smith's words, but he changed his words and said, "But why do you think the teacher gave us four cards, but only the three of us guessed? Don't he want to admit this fourth junior brother? No, so he won't be dealt four cards, I think in fact, the fourth junior brother is already involved, that is, when the teacher is sending the cards, he is by the teacher's side." ”

"How, how could it be?" Smith couldn't help but feel furious as he imagined the scene - the sick teacher was sorting out the cards, and he was coughing constantly, but the mysterious fourth junior brother was just looking at everything in the dark.

"I think the other party must be desperate to make a name for himself, but he was afraid of us, so he decided to start with the teacher. Hua Pei said unhurriedly.

"Will the old man be so easy to get caught into?"

"Most likely, although the teacher is very eccentric, he is very good to us, isn't he? I believe he never thought that the fourth junior brother would be so crazy. Hua Pei pounded his forehead and continued, "But the teacher will not be so easy to deal with, he will take advantage of the blind spots in the knowledge of the fourth junior brother to fight back." ”

"You mean the old man......"

"Yes, the teacher deliberately put the cards of the fourth junior brother behind my card, because he knew that my attainment in natural science was the highest among all the junior brothers. Hua Pei nodded, "So the first thing that comes to mind when I see the cards is probably the thinking characteristics that the teacher wants to point out to our four junior disciples, but unfortunately I was too competitive at that time and focused on the content of the cards, so I didn't think of this." ”

Smith on the other side was silent for a long time, although Hua Pei's speculation had some insufficient arguments, but with his understanding of Ao Fan, if it was the old man's strategy, then Hua Pei's unbelievable speculation was very likely to turn out.

Among the several apprentices of Ao Sailing, each has its own characteristics of thinking - for example, the player of Tox likes to manipulate in order to achieve the goal of winning, Hua Pei is an angler and likes to use bait the most, and Smith's fraudster can be seen to be the most fond of defrauding his opponents.

But the parasite of the fourth junior brother, what kind of way of thinking is that-Smith squinted, his right index finger rubbing back and forth on the beard on his chin.

"You mean...... Is it very likely that there is a factor behind the matter of Tox?" Smith is known for his rough appearance and meticulous thinking, and he quickly guessed Hua Pei's thoughts.

Indeed, the frail Tox was the easiest target of the three of them, and if Smith was the mysterious fourth junior, he would definitely start with Tox.

"It would be nice if it was just that, what I'm worried about now is that Chu Shou will kill Tox. Hua Pei smiled bitterly and said.

"Is there a mistake!?what's the situation now!?You better make it clear at once, or I won't be able to sleep tonight, and we won't have to waste time guessing the riddle!" Smith was startled again when he heard Hua Pei's words, and he handed his granddaughter into Niu Instein's hand forcefully, jumped up, and paced back and forth around the magic crystal that was passing the word.
