The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

"Their goal... is my qualification to participate in the autumn exam!"

Chu Tianxiao rolled his eyes and his thoughts became clearer.

"Of course, that's not entirely the case."

"This is a two-pronged strategy. No matter which way I choose, it seems to be beneficial to them."

"Just imagine, if I agree in a hot-headed way, then the ten thousand dollars will be wasted - they say the debtor is an uncle, let alone when the debtor is an enemy, I can get this debt back. It's a miracle! Moreover, once I start this, what about the next few people? No matter, it's great. They worked hard to get more than 40,000 chips, but they were all in vain. I would be happy if I cut off a large piece of meat after just one scene, but I would have to die from the pain! But no matter what, my previous 'achievements' would be in vain, and I would still fall into their original trap..."

"...Yes, they want me to refuse coldly. Their purpose is nothing more than to damage my reputation, guide public opinion, exaggerate the facts, spread rumors, and then, in the name of lacking moral integrity, unite with the major scholars and directly deprive me of it. My qualifications for the Autumn Examination!”

"Children of the Shenhou family are already in the limelight. This trick is of no use to ordinary people. But for children of the Shenhou family, if our flaws are magnified by someone who is interested, it will not be a trivial matter!"

"If the old fox Mo Xiang takes action personally, the situation will escalate rapidly!"

Chu Tianxiao's mind was racing.

"If I am not wrong, once I refuse, they will immediately stop talking, and then use the layers of back-up tactics they have laid out long ago to use rumor offensive step by step to guide public opinion and build momentum!"

"And... this subject matter is also very interesting. First, Qin Shou's 'generousness', and then my so-called 'failure to save someone's life'. In sharp contrast, the injured left the scene sadly, with tears streaming down his face. How touching? How touching? Helpless? And how hateful is the 'me' who doesn't help? How narrow-minded, selfish, and irresponsible?"

"What a perfect negative teaching material! Just use the sympathy of the people to make them subconsciously ignore it... In fact, the people who kidnapped my gang were my enemies, and the price was too high to bear! "

"But with the rumors spread by public opinion, who can see the grievances? Even if someone can see it, some people will make it impossible for them to see it!"

"Pay attention to the important points and put them lightly, with more pen and ink. I have no doubt that this group of trolls can 'perfectly complete' these things! Even if the truth is revealed in the end, can some things be reversed? Will the people think it is true? Another deception? After all... my reputation in Kyoto is not very good..."

Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath, sorted out all the clues, and had a clear understanding in his heart - no wonder those people's eyes were so sure when they came to the camp. This game has no bottom line, but it is ruthless...

Chu Tianxiao looked far away: "It probably wasn't what the arrogant girl named Luo thought, but more likely, it was Chu He's trick..."

"Sure enough, this enemy... is much more difficult to deal with than Qin Yun. He actually uses such disgusting moves. He obviously wants me to be confused no matter what choice he makes. Maybe he also wants to attack my martial arts aspirations?"

Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was cold: "It's a pity..."

"You and Grandpa made the same mistake. Moreover, you have Luo Bingqing's hidden trump card. Why don't I have a way to hide it?"

"This second game... is okay, but there are still flaws. It's just that I'm too lazy to play with the sour scholar who is disgusted by the smell, so..."

"Let's end this game as a loser, and then, welcome to the final battle, let's fight head-on!"

Chu Tianxiao had made up his mind. Zhenyuan sent a message to Lu Meier. As soon as he said a word, the other party smiled brightly and quickly replied: "Brother Tianxiao, is it finally my turn to play? Their acting skills are so fake! Just like you!" There is no comparison between heaven and earth! It makes me want to vomit..."

"Okay, naughty kid, don't be too busy complaining. It's not your turn to make your official debut yet. You can't take the initiative to reveal your identity at this moment. You have to wait until the end of 'Playing Chips' before your experience can be considered over. Have you forgotten? "

"Yes, then...Brother Tianxiao, why are you looking for me?"

"Although it's not officially time to go on stage yet,...I suddenly thought of an interesting idea, and I need your cooperation..."

Chu Tianxiao smiled and sent a message: "Listen carefully, I will..."

…

…

After giving Lu Meier the details, Chu Tianxiao Zhenyuan said via voice transmission, "Did you hear that clearly? You naughty kid?"

"Tch, it's that simple. Who can't act?"

"Haha, it's you who said it. Don't let me lose your temper later."

"Don't worry! It's a piece of cake!"

Chu Tianxiao nodded, turned around, met Qin Shou's eyes, and said seriously: "I have a question to ask Brother Qin."

If Qin Yun were here, he would definitely say not to agree. This guy's expression coupled with "I want to ask you a question" is obviously trying to dig a hole to hurt people again! It's a pity that Qin Shou didn't know about this. Hearing this, he said openly: "Brother Chu, please speak."

"Haha, that's just a question... In Brother Qin's eyes, is one person more important, or tens of millions of people?"

Qin Shou didn't understand what he meant, but he still said: "Of course tens of millions of people are important."

"Then...to use another analogy, which one is more important, the life and death of a few people, or the well-being of His Majesty Emperor Zhou?"

"This...of course His Majesty's well-being is the most important thing. You are the master of the country. As scholars, we are ready to go through fire and water for Your Majesty at any time! It's just life and death, so why bother!"

"Haha..." Chu Tianxiao thought in his heart: What I want is your words...

After Qin Shou said these upright words, he was a little impatient with Chu Tianxiao's questions, but he had already changed the topic leisurely, as if it was just an irrelevant and casual question...

"Tell me how much you need in total."

After saying these words, Qin Shou was slightly stunned, and the disappointment in his eyes flashed away. It seemed that this prodigal son was not too stupid, and he did not fall into the trap...

However, this feeling of disappointment was very light, and soon he turned into a look of joy. In any case, Chu Tianxiao suffered a big loss!

"Brother Mo needs a Thousand-Year Life Fruit, Brother Han needs a Pulse Renewing Fruit, and Brother Ouyang..." Qin Shou talked a lot, pretending to be a little embarrassed and said, "Uh, this... I don't know the total need. How much, sir?"

The counting gentleman lowered his head and counted for a while, then said: "It's forty-one thousand nine hundred chips."

"Great, Brother Chu! There are only 41,900 chips! Didn't you get 42,000 chips? That's enough!" Qin Shou clapped his hands happily, as if the 42,000 chips were already in his pocket , and it seems that this bamboo chip is very small and can be borrowed at will without any psychological burden...

There was even a trace of ridicule in his tone, and he actually didn't even want to continue acting! The three people behind him showed extremely proud expressions - they were defeated by Chu Tianxiao at the Autumn Night Banquet Essay Competition with his 'Prodigal Strategy'. Their benevolence, righteousness and morality could not compete with the word "Prodigal", and in the end they were defeated. An extremely miserable ending... being treated to such an extent by a prodigal son who had once despised him so much, how could they not hate Chu Tianxiao deeply?

Now, seeing that Chu Tianxiao had the intention of "losing money and avoiding disaster", if it weren't for the wrong situation, the three of them would have laughed loudly - they had to spend their hard-earned money to save their enemies, and they had to save them. It was so frustrating. It must be able to dampen the prodigal son’s martial arts aspirations!

As soon as they thought about it, they felt that their thoughts were extremely clear, and their eyes looking at Chu Tianxiao were also full of ridicule...
