The crescent moon was like a hook, and beneath it, atop a tall building, three people conspired in secret.
Lin Wenruo spoke unhurriedly, his words were concise yet rich in meaning.
His gentle voice reached only the ears of Zhao Rong and Chen Muzhi. Once it drifted out of the building, it was shattered by the strong wind, dissipating into the night.
The rules of the Confucianism debate were simple.
Each side had three people, one against one, in three rounds of philosophical discourse, with the side winning the most rounds emerging victorious.
Each round of discourse had a host and a guest. The host side put forward their view and made a statement, while the guest side posed challenges, the so-called "difficult questions," to refute the host's viewpoint.
The viewpoints of both sides were opposed, true or false, so whatever viewpoint the host side chose, the guest side had to take the opposing stance.
