Hearing this, Peng Xue quivered and hurriedly shifted his gaze back. He pulled Jin Kai's arm and said, "Senior Brother, you can't leave. We're only halfway through. Without you, we can't do anything."
He knew that Jin Kai was embarrassed and wanted to find a place to wash the coal off his face. However, he couldn't let him leave now. Otherwise, who would be the scapegoat when his teacher came?
"But … my face."
Jin Kai lowered his head awkwardly. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"It's okay, senior brother."
Peng Xue stepped forward and grabbed Jin Kai's shoulder. He was afraid that the other party would run away. Peng Xue said earnestly, "You are making a sacrifice for the research. It's glorious. Even if others see you, it's nothing. Besides, if you leave now, you won't be able to see the results of the experiment. Don't blame me if you regret it."
It had to be said that Peng Xue was very good at tricking people. Jin Kai hesitated after hearing those words.
If he really left, he wouldn't be able to see the results.
What was a little coal? What was being laughed at?
These couldn't compare to the results at all.
"Okay, then I won't leave. Let's start the experiment."
Jin Kai nodded heavily, as if he had made a big decision in his heart.
"That's right. Come, let's start."
Peng Xue patted Jin Kai's shoulder and smiled, "Let's go, senior brother. Let's do the experiment."
After saying that, he pulled Jin Kai to the side of everyone, not caring if he was willing or not.
Coarse cloth, hemp rope, brazier, and other things were all prepared. Even Pihou was tied up. He could only speak through his mouth. This wasn't torture. They needed the hemp rope as a guide. Otherwise, if Pihou stomped, the cloth wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Another reason was because they saw how the dean and Ma Zhou worked. They wanted to try it.
"Everyone, hold up the cloth and hold the hemp rope. Get ready."
Peng Xue glanced at everyone and began to give orders. He then looked at Pihou, "Pihou, you get ready too. We're going to ascend soon. This is your honor."
Pihou curled his lips, expressing that he didn't want such an honor. However, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Everyone began to prepare. Those who were pulling the rope and those who were holding the cloth were holding it up. Everything was ready except for one thing.
Peng Xue put his hand on his forehead and glanced at the sky. He muttered to himself, "When will the wind start?"
"I don't know. Let's wait and see."
Jin Kai imitated Peng Xue and placed his palm on his forehead, looking at the gloomy sky.
Peng Xue nodded and turned to look at everyone. "Everyone, hold on a little longer. The wind is about to pick up. When the wind picks up, we will be able to see the results of the experiment."
After he finished speaking, he half-squatted on the ground and took out a cigarette from his waist. He took out a lighter and slowly lit it up before taking a puff.
Everyone could only listen to him. They held the hemp rope with both hands and waited for the wind to arrive. As for Pihou, he was in a bit of a bad state. Although he wasn't tied up with iron wire, the hemp rope was still choking him.
He moved closer to the person beside him with a fawning look on his face. "Hey, Xiao Hao, loosen it for me. This thing is making me uncomfortable. I need to pee."
The man called Xiao Hao took two steps back. His hands were still tightly holding onto the hemp rope. He said timidly, "Pihou, don't make things difficult for me. Don't you know Peng Xue? His father is a second-rank official. If you offend him, you won't be able to survive in the academy. You should just wait for your ascension."
Hearing this, Pihou's face immediately darkened. He glared at Xiao Hao and scolded, "You bastard. Lao Tzu even gave you a cigarette. Now you won't even loosen the rope for Lao Tzu?"
After saying that, he gave Xiao Hao a hard kick before he stopped. The latter staggered and almost fell.
Xiao Hao slowly stood up. He wasn't angry. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his waist and placed it next to Pihou's mouth. He had a fawning look on his face. "Brother Pihou, don't be angry. At most, I'll give you another cigarette."
After he finished speaking, he took out a lighter and lit it for Pihou. Pihou didn't care about what happened just now. He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep puff. "I'll tell …"
Halfway through his words, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
The coarse cloth was lifted up, bulging like a rubber ball, shooting straight up into the sky. As for Pihou, his entire body was lifted up, his face revealing a pained expression. His mouth loosened, and the cigarette immediately fell. As luck would have it, the cigarette just happened to fall onto his pants.
"Senior brother, save me."
"Senior brothers, save me. I don't want to play anymore."
Pihou had a sullen face as he shouted towards everyone in the sky.
Peng Xue was still half squatting on the ground smoking. When he heard someone shouting for him, he listened carefully. Motherf * cker, this was Pihou's voice. This guy was flying?
He couldn't care less. He threw away the cigarette in his hand and suddenly stood up. He looked towards the direction of Pihou's voice.
As expected, the coarse cloth was flying in the air. The fire in the brazier wasn't extinguished. Most importantly, Pihou was also flying. Although his face was a bit ugly, it didn't affect anything.
"Great, the experiment finally succeeded."
