"I..."
Hong Shi's face turned livid.
He didn't expect the other party to be so vicious. First, he gave out his gift, and the next thing he knew, he was going to be the general.
The other three had already given out high-tier gifts, but he didn't prepare anything in advance. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to take anything out!
Even though he wouldn't be able to decide the distribution of the slots later on, if he didn't prepare anything, not only would Wu Zhen be displeased, even the crown prince would be embarrassed!
Furthermore, the other party was already standing right before him. He couldn't possibly just back down and allow himself to be mocked, right?
"Why? It can't be that you didn't prepare anything? "
"Are you for real? I told you earlier that Wu Shi and the others would be attending the banquet. I thought that you came late today because you went to prepare something. Is that not the case? "
"This is the first time we are meeting, but as the host, you didn't bring anything. Are you doing this on purpose?"
Luo Zhao, Chen Yue, Feng Yu, and the others gloated at Ye Qian's predicament.
They had indeed told Hong Shi that the four of them would be attending the banquet, but they didn't mention anything about the banquet. Naturally, the latter didn't prepare anything.
"Hmm?"
As expected, Crown Prince Ye Qian frowned as the three of them jeered at him.
Although he didn't really care about the gifts, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed if the Hongfeng Empire didn't since everyone else had sent gifts.
"I just arrived today, so I haven't prepared anything yet..."
Seeing the gazes of the crowd getting more and more intense, Hong Shi's face flushed. Just as he was about to say that he hadn't prepared his gift, a calm voice sounded beside him.
"Hong Shi's gift has naturally been prepared..."
Turning around, he saw that the one who had spoken was Zhang Xuan, who was seated beside him.
"Zhang Shi, I didn't prepare anything..."
Hearing the other party say that he had prepared his gift, Hong Qian's face twitched and he hurriedly sent a telepathic message over.
So what if he didn't prepare anything? At most, he would just be mocked by others. Admitting that he had brought something, but not being able to take it out would only be more embarrassing!
Besides, I do have a huge pile of ordinary treasures, but if they aren't as valuable as the other party's, wouldn't it be more embarrassing for me to take them out?
"Oh? Since you've prepared it, just take it out! "
Seeing that the fellow with the lowest cultivation actually spoke up, Luo Zhao harrumphed and waved his hand.
"Take it out?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't take it out now, right?"
"Can't take it out? What do you mean? Are you trying to toy with the crown prince and Wu Shi because you don't have anything with you? "Luo Zhao sneered coldly.
By the side, Hong Shi's body also swayed. His vision went dark, and he almost fainted.
He said that he had a gift, but he said that he couldn't take it out. Big Brother, how should we end this?
If he really couldn't produce the required amount, not only would he be blamed by Wu Shi, but he would also be offended by the Crown Prince. No matter how stupid he was, he would know what the outcome would be.
The Crown Prince and Wu Shi looked at each other and frowned.
They were already very puzzled that a twenty-year-old kid could become one of the top three. Now, he actually said that he had something that he couldn't take out. They immediately felt that it was strange. They didn't know what he was up to.
Even Bi Jianghai and Luo Xuan were confused.
They had been together with Hong Shi this afternoon, so they knew very well whether the other party had found the treasure or not. If he really couldn't take it out, wouldn't that be disastrous?
"I'm just a 4-star master teacher from a small place like the League of Nations. Even if I were to be given ten guts, I wouldn't dare to toy with the crown prince and Wu Shi!"
Ignoring the bizarre gazes from the crowd, Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly. Lifting his eyelids, he turned to Luo Zhao and said, "On the other hand, Luo shi, you've seen and taken the treasure that Hong Shi went through so much trouble to prepare. Isn't it about time for you to return it?"
"Ah?"
Luo Zhao was taken aback. His face darkened. "What did you say? What do you mean by not seeing it? When did I take Hong Shi's possession? "
"Sigh, I knew that you wouldn't admit to it..."
Sighing, Zhang Xuan shook his head. Clasping his fist toward the crown prince and Wu Shi, he stood up and said, "Since the crown prince and Wu Shi are here, I would like to request for the two of you to uphold justice for our Hong Shi!"
"Uphold justice? Sure, as long as it's justice, we are willing to do so! "
Before the crown prince could say anything, Wu Shi chuckled and said.
"Thank you..."
Zhang Xuan nodded his head. Turning to Luo Zhao, he said, "Wu Shi has already agreed to uphold justice. Then... Luo shi, do you dare to confront me?"
"Confront? Why wouldn't I dare? "
Seeing how confident this fellow was, Luo Zhao was dumbfounded. His head was filled with confusion.
Even though he knew Hong Shi, they had never interacted much with one another, not to mention taking the other's possession.
Why was this fellow so confident and even had the crown prince, Wu Shi, testify for him?
Honestly speaking, he wasn't the only one. Hong Shi felt frenzied as well.
When did Luo Zhao take away my possession? How did you know when I didn't even know about it?
"It's good that you dare to do so."
Zhang Xuan chuckled. Lifting his head, he asked, "Did Hong Shi look for you at your residence today?"
"That's right!"
Luo Zhao nodded.
Hong Shi had openly gone to look for them. This matter would be known as long as they inquired about it. Even if they wanted to hide it, they wouldn't be able to. There was no need to hide it. Moreover, they were only looking for him. It didn't involve any treasures, right?
"The two of you once intended to challenge one another to a Master Teacher Challenge … Is there such a matter?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, the other party's question sounded once more.
"This … Yes!"
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Zhao nodded his head.
When he saw Hong Shi pummeling Feng shi, he felt indignant and challenged the latter to a Master Teacher Challenge.
In the Master Teacher Challenge, one had to use one's blood to activate the emblem. It wouldn't be difficult for the headquarters to look into the matter, so there was no need for the headquarters to hide the matter.
"It's good that you admit it. That saves me the trouble of explaining further!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head. Turning to the crown prince and Wu Zhen, he clasped his fists and said, "The two of you should have seen it for yourself. He has already admitted to it, so there's no need for me to continue explaining the matter!"
"Don't say what? Tell me clearly … "
Luo Zhao scratched his head.
What the hell was this guy doing? He had only asked half of the question, but he had also said half of what he had said. He was deliberately mystifying things …
What do you mean by I admit it? You don't have to say anymore? What is it?
What did I admit to …
Hong Shi was even more bewildered. Wasn't Zhang Shi's brain way too complicated? Why couldn't he understand what he was saying?
"You'd better make yourself clear!"
Ye Qian and Wu Zhen glanced at one another and coughed.
"Alright, since the two of you want me to speak clearly, I won't go against my superior. As a 4-star master teacher, I have offended a 5-star master teacher!"
At this point, Zhang Xuan's eyes were filled with fury and indignation. "Actually, Hong Shi didn't allow me to speak of this matter. It was out of indignation that I spoke of it …"
"Ah … Un?" Hong Shi widened his eyes in shock.
I didn't allow you to speak of it?
What did I not allow you to speak of?
"Hong Shi is a kind-hearted person, but he isn't good with words. In order to protect the reputation of the Miryu Empire, he didn't want to speak of it. However, as a junior of his, I couldn't stand it anymore …"
Zhang Xuan's voice sounded once more.
Hearing those words, Ye Qian and Wu Zhen's faces twitched.
We don't know whether Hong Shi is a kind-hearted person or not, but … he isn't good with words. Aren't you lying through your teeth? It's not like we didn't see how Luo Zhao, Chen Yue, and the others nearly fainted from anger.
"Don't talk nonsense here. What's the matter? Speak! "
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was speaking too much, Luo Zhao couldn't hold himself back anymore.
"Alright, I'll speak then …"
As though coming to a decision, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth in indignation. "This afternoon, Hong Shi went to look for the three of them to discuss some matters. However, not only did the three of them gang up on Hong Shi, they even … snatched away the treasure that he had prepared beforehand!"
"The … the heck! What did you say? Beat up Hong Shi? "
Luo Zhao staggered and nearly spurted blood.
Beat your head! It was Hong Shi who refused to fight with me, alright? Besides, when did we gang up on him? Snatch the treasure? Snatch your head!
Even if we're lying through our teeth, we should at least make it sound more believable. This is way too unreliable!
Three master teachers beating up another master teacher in the courtyard … Why does it sound like a hoodlum?
"Since you won't admit to it, let me continue asking you then. This afternoon, you weren't the only one who challenged Hong Shi to a Master Teacher Challenge. Did Feng shi challenge him as well?"
Before Luo Zhao could explain, Zhang Xuan continued asking.
"This …" Luo Zhao was taken aback. "I did challenge him, but …"
Feng shi did challenge Hong Shi to a Master Teacher Challenge, but … that was just him getting pummeled, alright?
"But what? It's good that he challenged him! "
Zhang Xuan was indescribably furious. "Hong Shi and Feng shi are both 5-star primary master teachers and Transcendent Mortal 6-dan primary stage experts … I believe there shouldn't be any objections to this point, right?"
The crowd nodded.
They were all master teachers, and they were of the same rank. Naturally, there wasn't much of a difference in their fighting prowess.
"Even Feng shi ended up in such a state in a Master Teacher Challenge. Do you think that Hong Shi would fare any better?"
Zhang Shi continued.
The crown prince and Wu Zhen were taken aback.
"Luo shi, let me ask you again. After the duel between Hong Shi and Feng shi ended, did you immediately apply for a Master Teacher Challenge? Also, did Hong Shi say that he would be unable to battle for ten years due to his severe injuries?"
Zhang Xuan asked once more.
"He did say that …"
Luo Zhao froze once more. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted once more. "As a 5-star master teacher and a Transcendent Mortal 6-dan expert, how severe must his injuries be for him to be unable to battle for ten years?"
The more Zhang Xuan spoke, the more agitated he became. "Even so, Luo shi still insisted on challenging him to a duel … Think about it, how could Hong Shi possibly be a match for him? Naturally, the treasure that he had prepared beforehand was snatched away by him … "
At this point, Luo Zhao found it hard to contain his rage. If he were to continue speaking, tears might even flow from his eyes.
"The heck … When did I beat him and snatch his treasure? You better make yourself clear …"
Luo Zhao's body swayed, and he nearly burst into tears on the spot.
It was clearly Hong Shi who ran over to pummel Feng shi. How did it turn into a situation where both Feng shi and I were heavily injured, and I made use of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?
Furthermore, it wasn't just a sneak attack, I even snatched his treasure …
Can't you speak properly?
To spout such blatant lies, are you really a master teacher?
Where's your shame?
(I love Wolf Warrior. I suddenly remembered that when Laoya was young, he was given the nickname Wu Jing due to his resemblance to Wu Jing.
After seeing my classmate for the past few days, he excitedly patted my shoulder. "Wu …"
My Face Beaming with Joy: Don't you still have the demeanor you used to have? You resemble Wu Jing a lot!
Classmate: … Meng Da!
Me: Your head!
Wuuuuu, I've been crying for an entire day. I hope for monthly votes and recommendation votes to console you …)
