"But..." The girl in the purple dress stamped her foot, huffing as she sat back down in her chair.
After the girl in purple made the first attempt, several other plucky daughters of wealthy families tried to challenge the newly crowned scholar. All of them ended up facing defeat without exception.
Next came a particularly tough challenge. She didn't ask Xiao Liulang to match rhyming couplets or compose a poem but instead asked him to recite a passage from "Turn Left" backwards.
She had presented the formidable challenge to Xiao Liulang, armed with the book "Turn Left", containing over ninety thousand words. To recite any part of it while pointing to it, let alone backwards, one really has to know the book by heart to an incredible degree.
This was terribly harsh!
The people initially found great amusement in the situation but now began to sympathize with the poor scholar.
