“Three singles and a pair, let’s see who dares to call me!”
“Bombs! Heh heh, didn’t expect that, did you!”
“Damn it, I’m bombing too, this is a royal flush, no one else is going to play, right?”
In the courtyard, Wei Changqing, Long Feicheng, and Weng Qianxiang were playing Dou Dizhu under a willow tree.
Due to the hot weather, some were bare-chested, some barefoot, and some had ice-cold beers beside them.
The most exaggerated part was that Weng Qianxiang and Wei Changqing had their faces covered in sticky notes, while Long Feicheng had nothing on his.
Lin Zitong, standing outside the door, Yan Shouyi, who had just jumped onto the wall, and all the representatives of the sects who had placed their hopes on Wei Changqing were petrified on the spot.
What happened to the academic research?
What happened to the eagerness to teach?
Why were they drinking and playing Dou Dizhu with their chests bared!
Did they have any of the demeanor of a master descendant of Lu Ban?!
Yan Shouyi, hiding on the courtyard wall, put on a mask of pain.
Perhaps because Wei Changqing wanted to maintain his dignity in front of Yan Shouyi, he had always appeared as a serious and taciturn person in front of him.
But Wei Changqing happened to have a hobby, which was playing Dou Dizhu!
Back in Qiantang, Wei Changqing had lost a full thirty thousand to Long Feicheng because of Dou Dizhu.
Now that they had finally settled down, Wei Changqing couldn’t resist the urge to win back the thirty thousand yuan.
So he called Long Feicheng and Weng Qianxiang, preparing to have a great battle with them for three hundred rounds!
And the result was obvious. Not only did Wei Changqing not win back the thirty thousand yuan, but he lost even more…
The most unfortunate thing was that this scene was witnessed by the delegation.
Immersed in their Dou Dizhu game, the three of them did not notice the unusual situation around them.
Long Feicheng won this round again.
Weng Qianxiang suddenly looked down at the cards on the table and said in surprise, “Hmm? Wait, the big king was clearly with me, where did the royal flush in your hand come from?”
“Hmm?”
Wei Changqing’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
Long Feicheng’s smile immediately became awkward, and he said evasively, “This… uh… this pair of big and small kings in my hand are from the same family, and the big king in your hand is what they produced…”
“Do you think I’ll believe that?” Weng Qianxiang said angrily, “Second Uncle, let’s take him down together!”
Wei Changqing was furious, bit his finger, and began to draw talismans on the poker cards.
Seeing this, Long Feicheng was so scared that he fled in a panic, shouting as he ran, “Second Uncle, it’s not that serious, it’s not that serious. I was just cheating, you don’t have to use the Wood Puppet Heavenly Law!”
As soon as he finished speaking, fifty-five poker cards suddenly shot up into the sky, chasing Long Feicheng. One by one, the poker cards hit Long Feicheng’s head, causing pain like being pecked by a woodpecker.
“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
Long Feicheng, holding his head and scurrying, didn’t notice the people outside the door and rushed out with his head down, crashing into several old sect leaders.
Although these old men had some cultivation, their bodies couldn’t withstand such a collision. With this impact, two old men immediately broke their pelvises!
“Sect Leader!”
The accompanying elders were greatly alarmed and hurried to support them.
Long Feicheng stopped and saw the flustered crowd, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have caused trouble.
“Sister-in-law…”
Weng Qianxiang also chased out and saw the messy scene outside the door, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Wei Changqing got up dazedly, quickly turned around, took off his clothes hanging on the tree, and put them on. In his haste, he even put on his clothes backward.
“A motley crew, a complete motley crew!” a sect leader cursed, “We thought Sect Leader Lu Jinsheng’s judgment was not bad, but now it seems that Miss Lin, you and your companions are just a motley crew, a mere scattering of sand! You will never amount to anything!”
“I…”
Lin Zitong was full of guilt. Since she was a child, she had never encountered such a setback.
She always strived to do her best in everything, to be the first, but today was terrible. Everyone in the research association had shown their most unbearable side.
What made Lin Zitong even more upset was that two old sect leaders were injured because of this.
Yan Shouyi jumped down from the wall and sighed.
Are we really a motley crew?
Long Feicheng lowered his head, at a loss. He felt like he had caused a great disaster, and apologizing now would be of no use.
“Miss Lin, I am very disappointed in you!” Sun Tangzhi said with a sigh.
Sun Liuying pouted. She had never thought Lin Zitong was anything special, and now seeing her persona collapse and being looked down upon by everyone, she couldn’t be happier.
If Sun Tangzhi hadn’t forbidden it, she would have directly mocked Lin Zitong.
You’re nothing special either, just lucky to be born into a wealthy family and favored by the former sect leader of Mount Lu!
If it were me, I could do it too!
“Alas.”
Lin Zitong sighed dejectedly, then said, “I am truly sorry for what happened today. Please, everyone, rest in the assembly hall first, and I will invite a descendant of ancient medicine to treat you.”
Hearing that the only relatively normal-looking descendant of ancient medicine could be invited, everyone’s expression improved slightly.
Ye Chengfu, who came upon hearing the commotion, brought stretchers. Everyone carried the two injured old sect leaders back to the assembly hall.
Lin Zitong, Yan Shouyi, and the others kept their distance from the delegation, walking far behind.
“Sister-in-law, I’m so sorry…” Long Feicheng said with immense guilt.
Weng Qianxiang felt the same. He thought he should take the initiative to bear the responsibility and not let Long Feicheng bear everything alone.
Just as he was about to speak up for Long Feicheng, he heard Long Feicheng suddenly betray him: “It’s all Old Weng’s fault. He insisted on pulling us to play Dou Dizhu, and he brought the beer!”
Weng Qianxiang: “…”
Brother Long, you are truly consistent!
You have firmly remembered and consistently implemented the principles of being cowardly, shameless, and betraying your brothers.
You absolutely don’t do anything related to being a decent person!
Yan Shouyi punched Long Feicheng from behind: “What time is it, and you’re still thinking about shifting the blame? You’re the one who knocked over the two sect leaders, there’s no arguing about that, right?”
Hearing this, Long Feicheng lowered his head again. Even with his silver tongue, he didn’t know how to shift the blame anymore.
“It’s all my fault!” Yan Shouyi wished he could slap himself twice, “I should have reminded you in front!”
Lin Zitong shook her head: “It’s not your fault. I told you to do whatever you normally do, and today you did exactly that. The delegation wants to see our true selves. If they are not satisfied with us, it means we haven’t done well enough. I don’t want that kind of false approval that is disguised.”
Although Lin Zitong said she was open-minded, her voice was still a little choked, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and she sniffled from time to time.
Anyone could see that Lin Zitong attached great importance to this meeting, but everyone had messed it up terribly…
“Do we still have a chance?” Weng Qianxiang asked weakly.
Long Feicheng gritted his teeth: “There should still be a chance. Those two injured old sect leaders don’t seem very angry. I just heard that they plan to take this opportunity to take the Marrow Cleansing Pill refined by Old Jin. By then, not only will their injuries be healed, but their cultivation will also advance further!”
“Nani?!”
Hearing this, Yan Shouyi was about to explode!
