The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 675 - 676: Ying Qingning’s Question

Looking at Nicholas, who was striking a "I’m the most handsome, I’m invincible" pose, Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead and murmured, "I believe there’s one thing in this world, apart from your appearance, that you’re number one in!"

"What?" Nicholas asked curiously.

"Shamelessness!"

"You’re just jealous!" Nicholas snorted coldly, "In terms of shamelessness, I can never compare to my old man!"

"That sounds so familiar." Liu Zixuan scratched his head, vaguely recalling that Jiang Yiyi had said something similar.

"The literary contest begins, let’s have Ying Qingning set the topic first." Just as Liu Zixuan was lost in thought, Liu Qianyun spoke up.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ying Qingning stepped off the stage, stood in front of the corridor, and gave a gentle smile to the six young geniuses.

That smile was quite natural, which was different from Liu Ruyan, because Ying Qingning had grown up in the Willow Association since she was young. She was used to, even numb to, conversing with these big figures face-to-face and was skilled at masking that sense of unfamiliarity, giving people an approachable impression.

But Liu Ruyan wasn’t like that, because from the beginning, she only liked Liu Zixuan. Regardless of how the Willow Association or other families tried to change her, her eyes only had Liu Zixuan, so she wouldn’t smile at others.

Ying Qingning slightly parted her lips and said in a soft voice, "My question for everyone is simple. Suppose one of you marries me, but finds that the Willow Association won’t provide you any benefits because of me, and one day in the future, I might break away from the Willow Association too, and maybe the Willow Association will hate me and target you because of it. What would you choose to do then?"

After Ying Qingning finished speaking, everyone fell silent, not just Liu Zixuan and the others, but even the elders and patriarchs of other families as well.

Even Liu Qianyun and Liu Qianfeng’s expressions changed a bit.

Everyone knew that Ying Qingning was the adopted non-family eldest daughter of the Willow Association. If Liu Ruyan hadn’t returned to the family, Ying Qingning’s position wouldn’t be shaken, but now that Liu Ruyan had come back, she was the legitimate eldest daughter, so what Ying Qingning mentioned wasn’t something impossible!

Perhaps this is what they’ll truly have to face in the future.

Seeing everyone silent, Ying Qingning smiled and said, "I hope you can speak your mind honestly. A woman’s intuition is very accurate, and if I find out you’ve lied with a guilty conscience, then sorry, you’ll be eliminated immediately!"

With that, Ying Qingning glanced at her watch: "You can start answering now. I want the most direct and genuine thoughts from your hearts."

Nicholas glanced at the people around him, and seeing no one was prepared to step forward, he said out loud, "You’re all afraid to give the wrong answer, so I’ll go first!"

"Please go ahead!" Ying Qingning gestured for him to proceed.

Nicholas said, "I just want to be a live-in son-in-law and rely on the Willow Association. Since your hypothetical situation might happen, I won’t pursue you. I’ll pursue the other eldest daughter!"

"Pfft!" Ying Qingning couldn’t help but laugh: "You’re very honest!"

"There’s nothing to lie about." Nicholas laughed mockingly and moved to the back.

But his words made those beside him burst into laughter, because he was so blunt, yet it had the greatest chance of getting him eliminated. It was obviously the path for someone wanting to be a kept man.

Zhong Baichuan stepped forward and said, "Miss Ying, I love you as a person, not because of the Willow Association, so this is an easy choice. Even if the Willow Association hates you and targets me because of you, I’ll accept it calmly."

Ying Qingning’s eyebrows slightly raised as she asked, "Mr. Zhong, this should be the first time we’ve met, right?"

"Correct!" Zhong Baichuan replied.

Ying Qingning shrugged slightly: "This is our first meeting, yet you use the word ’love’ with me. Isn’t the love in this world a bit too superficial then?"

"This..." Zhong Baichuan’s face turned red, clearly his words were somewhat insincere.

Ren Yu Heng spoke up, "If things are really as Miss Ying said, then I’ll just take you and run away. The Willow Association is such a big family, they can’t hunt us down everywhere for a little girl like you."

He added with a silly smile: "Actually, thinking about it, eloping around the world is quite romantic, isn’t it!"

Ying Qingning shook her head slightly: "Your idea is also good, but I’m a girl, even with countless enemies, I don’t want to wander everywhere. Sorry, I don’t find your idea very romantic."

Ren Yu Heng scratched his head: "It’s okay, I’m not good at this kind of literary contest stuff."

"Next!" Ying Qingning said calmly.

Duanmu Linsen stepped forward, bowed slightly to Ying Qingning, appearing a bit elegant, and smiled: "Miss Ying, sorry, if such a thing really happened, maybe I would prioritize the family to prevent it from being attacked by the Willow Association. Maybe I would choose to let you sacrifice."

"Thank you for your honesty!" Ying Qingning smiled back: "Since you would sacrifice me, I don’t think I’d take the risk of choosing you."

Duanmu Linsen awkwardly nodded and stepped back.

After this round, four people had already spoken up, and none had satisfied Ying Qingning. The only one who wasn’t awkward was Nicholas, as his kind of honesty hadn’t hurt Ying Qingning.

Nicholas glanced at the remaining Liu Zixuan and Mu Mu and laughed: "It’s just the two of you left, and I bet no one will win Miss Ying’s heart."

Mu Mu gave Nicholas a look, stepped forward, and because he was wearing a white robe, he looked extremely elegant. Along with his slow movements, he resembled a handsome ancient gentleman, bringing a unique aura with him.

With a gentle smile, he said slowly, "Miss Ying, rationally speaking, I don’t think that hypothesis would come true because, although you’re not the birth daughter of the Liu Family’s patriarch, you grew up here; it’s just that there’s no blood relation. Since the hypothesis doesn’t really exist, there’s no choice to be made."

Ying Qingning paused: "If you always look at things rationally, then I think if the hypothesis really stood, you would also be like Mr. Duanmu and let me be the sacrifice."

"No, I would mediate, promise the Willow Association other requests, and try to protect you." Mu Mu still spoke calmly.

Ying Qingning shook her head: "Love is a combination of reason and emotion, so your answer still doesn’t move me!"

"Sigh, looks like it’s hopeless!"

"I feel this question is unsolvable. It seems like it’s just Liu Zixuan left. This literary contest might not have a winner this time."

"Qingning, is your question too tricky for anyone to answer correctly?" Not only did others discuss this, but even Liu Qianyun questioned.

Ying Qingning shook her head slightly and looked at Liu Zixuan: "Isn’t there still one?"
