C14 – Defeat

Juliette could not help but clench her fists in excitement.

Lachlan had succeeded!

He had actually defeated Cameron and became a disciple of Mandel Talbot.

With such an identity, his future was bound to be bright and limitless.

Feeling the change in her, Lachlan patted her hand.

He signaled her that it was easy for him to do this. She should not be too excited.

This was the first time Lachlan had touched Julius’ hand. His heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.

Her skin was so soft and smooth that it made people unable to resist!

Juliette glared at Lachlan with a red face. He took advantage of her.

“No, I didn’t lose. Just now, Lachlan said that as long as I answer his questions, I would win. He didn’t ask me a question.”

Cameron spoke again.

He no longer cared about his face. He only wanted to win today.

“You’re really shameless. You’ve already lost.”

“Do you really want to be happy only after you get injured?”

“Young Master Yilmaz, ignore him. He’s too shameless.”

“Mission: Cameron. If you want to get beaten up, you naturally have to make him suffer.”

“Reward: 5 points of the Cognitive Energy.”

“Task Difficulty: One star.”

Lachlan silently accepted the mission and looked at Cameron with a mocking expression.

“Alright, I’ll give the question.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Lachlan had already won. Why did he do this?

Mandel Talbot could already accept Lachlan as his disciple.

Could it be that he was not afraid that something bad would happen in the future?

Mandel Talbot was also surprised. Right now, he could only accept Lachlan as his disciple, and there were no other variables.

Right now, Lachlan was about to give another question. If Cameron answered correctly, Lachlan would give up such a good opportunity.

Lachlan looked at Cameron and said indifferently, “You like to ponder and like the details of history, right? I will give you a question that is both worth pondering and the details of history.”

Cameron was overjoyed.

He did not expect that there would be a turn in the situation.

Although Lachlan’s knowledge of history was strong, Cameron was not weak.

He believed that he could answer Lachlan’s question.

“Alright, you can start.”

“I believe that you must have read Plum in the Golden Vase before, and you know about the dirty deal between the golden lotus and Ximen Qing. I want to ask you, do you know what color of underwear did the golden lotus wear when it first met Ximen Qing?”

Lachlan’s demeanor was elegant, and he actually asked such a question.

Everyone was extremely embarrassed.

But who would care about such a small matter?

Cameron pondered.

Plum in the Golden Vase was an ancient divine book. He had naturally studied it dozens of times.

Of course, he was doing it to see the plot.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not think of an answer.

He thought for a long time and finally gave up.

Cameron said angrily, “Are you spouting nonsense? You have to give me an answer and prove it.”

“No need to prove it. After I give you the answer, you will naturally know.”

Lachlan continued, “In ancient times, lingerie was not invented yet, so people didn’t wear lingerie at all. You can’t even notice such a small detail, so you are not worthy of competing with me.”

Cameron was instantly at a loss for words, and fell to the ground in a daze.

He had been defeated!

Everyone revealed a look of realization. It seemed that they had all made a mistake.

Mandel Talbot nodded silently, and could not help but praise Lachlan’s wisdom.

He chuckled, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together. “Lachlan, are you willing to be my disciple?”

Mandel Talbot was willing to accept Lachlan as his disciple.

Lachlan was destined to rise to greatness.

The stone in Julius’s heart finally fell. If Lachlan became Mandel Talbot’s disciple, he would definitely be able to ride on top of others.

“No, he is not worthy of being your disciple.”

Cameron’s voice was stern, and his expression was ferocious.

He still wanted to cause trouble?

Cameron was now despised by everyone. Not only did he lose face, but he had also challenged the bottom line of a scholar.

Someone like Cameron was not worthy of being with them.

Cameron did not care about the gazes of the crowd. What he wanted to do was to make Lachlan lose his reputation.

“Mr. Talbot, the disciple you are looking for not only has a profound knowledge, but also has an outstanding character. Am I right?”

Mandel Talbot did not know what Cameron was up to, but he nodded.

Character was the most important condition for him to recruit disciples.

“Lachlan is perfunctory in his work and is irresponsible to his future generations. Do you still want to recruit him as your disciple?”

What?

Cameron’s words were shocking.

His words had already confirmed Lachlan’s suspicions.

“What do you mean?” Mandel Talbot’s tone was ice-cold.

Cameron’s words had completely changed Mandel Talbot’s opinion of him. He was simply shameless to the extreme.

At this point, he actually still wanted to humiliate Lachlan.

“I have evidence, Mr. Talbot, take a look!”

Then, Cameron took out his phone and played a video.

It was the video where Lachlan had been organizing the history books, flipping through them page by page.

“Tell me, is he organizing the history books? Is he being serious and responsible? What I saw was him randomly jotting and scribbling, and he was completely careless.”

“His actions are simply a stain on history, an insult to his work.”

Everyone silently looked at Lachlan.

At this moment, none of them wanted to believe Cameron anymore.

Lachlan was an erudite scholar, so how could he do something so irresponsible?

They all hoped that Lachlan would come up with a reasonable explanation.

Lachlan’s expression was indifferent, without the slightest hint of panic.

“The way I organize the history books is like this.”

“Bullshit! I see that you are just wasting time, not being responsible for the history. On what basis can you be Mr. Talbot’s disciple?”

Cameron laughed arrogantly.

Cameron wanted to die together with Lachlan. He didn’t want Lachlan to get what he couldn’t.

“If your talent is not good enough, don’t think that others have the same talent as you. Haven’t you heard of the Reading a hundred lines at a glance?”

Lachlan’s words scared everyone.

Reading a hundred lines at a glance, since ancient times, had there been anyone who could do it?

Only a computer could do that.

Lachlan knew that the crowd did not believe him, so he smiled and pointed at a random person, “We don’t know each other, and we have never seen each other before, right?”

That person nodded, “Yes, I don’t know you.”

“Just pick a book for me.”

Lachlan took the book and flipped through it in front of everyone. The speed at which he flipped through the book was so fast that it left everyone speechless.

“Just now, I flipped through the book for ten seconds and read fifteen pages. There were a hundred and thirty wrong words and ten missing chapters. Please verify this!”

Everyone was curious and quickly divided up their work.

Not long after, the data was tabulated. It was exactly the same as what Lachlan had said.

These books were all handwritten, and there was no second copy in the world.

In other words, Lachlan actually had the ability to read a hundred lines at a glance.

He could not be described as a genius, because he was even more amazing than a genius!
