"Compete, compete, compete... compete with what?"
Lu Chengwen stamred.
If this were in the city, in Snow City, and the competition was about chasing girls, these two brothers tied together wouldn't even be his match.
He wouldn't need anything; just one word, "Lu Chengwen is looking for a girlfriend," and you'd see.
Countless beautiful won would co, all dressed in glamorous, seductive, enchanting, and fashionable styles to audition.
He could even find four ntors to score them, and then select the first, second, and third place winners.
But here, how do you compete?
The girls here are from the martial world, they care about martial skills, ability, character, sect, and apprenticeship...
They even care if your martial aspirations align with theirs.
These aspects are exactly what he lacks the most.
Lu Chengwen decided to take the initiative: "If we're competing for girls, I choose Luo Shiyin!"
Luo Shiyin froze for a mont and felt so joy: "I was chosen!"
Then she suddenly felt cheap.
What's so happy about that? Being chosen by him... Is there any good in that?
In front of so many people... I will kill you sooner or later!
She then frowned and glared at Lu Chengwen, making him feel quite awkward.
Long Aotian glanced at them and thought: "Good choice, Junior Brother, you've chosen a treasure! Haha, I hope you can handle the colorful phantom flower pupils later!"
Long Aotian quickly pointed at Qi ishao: "Then I choose Qi ishao!"
Qi ishao was sowhat shy, but also a bit happy.
Zhao Ritian was surprised, are they already choosing two?
He quickly pointed at Pan ifeng: "Then I choose..."
Zhao Ritian froze.
What the hell am I choosing!?
Am I playing?
Do I even have a choice left?
Pan ifeng glared at them: "You're not supposed to choose; I have a few questions I want to ask you."
All three of them sighed in relief.
Luo Shiyin was a bit disappointed.
Pan ifeng sighed and looked at the ground: "First question, should a man have three wives and four concubines?"
"Haha!" Zhao Ritian said: "Of course! Having a harem is a sign of a man's success! Only strong n deserve to be surrounded by beautiful won, only they are worthy of enjoying such happiness! As the saying goes, beauties love heroes, haha!"
"I think, I'm a hero!"
Pan ifeng punched him, and Zhao Ritian crouched down, covering his eyes: "Did I say sothing wrong?"
Pan ifeng looked at Long Aotian.
Long Aotian felt he understood.
"Of course not! A good man should be loyal to one woman! True love should be to love only one person for life! To cherish only one person for life! To desire only one person for life! For life..."
"I think, I'm a good man! A good man is !"
Pan ifeng punched him again, and Long Aotian crouched down, covering his eyes: "Does it hurt that much? I think I'm blind!"
Pan ifeng looked at Lu Chengwen, and in her murky eyes, there was faintly a trace of expectation.
Lu Chengwen felt awkward: "Uh..."
Zhao Ritian said: "Say it! Say it! Hurry!"
Long Aotian also urged: "Junior Brother, it's just one punch, hurry up!"
Lu Chengwen's face was downcast: "I don't know."
Pan ifeng's eyes widened: "You don't know!? You're his disciple! How can you not know!?"
Lu Chengwen hesitated and said:
"I think Senior Brother is right, but what Zhao Ritian said isn't wrong either."
"What do you an?"
Lu Chengwen said: "Master..."
"Don't call Master! Explain clearly! Explain!"
Zhao Ritian and Long Aotian each had panda eyes, and they both winked at each other with the sa aning:
Okay, finally it's his turn to be unlucky.
The old lady got excited, flattery doesn't work anymore, haha!
It seems the biggest bomb is going to be dropped by him!
We can still barely hold up after being tortured by the old lady in the Four Gates, but for you, a Junior of the Four Gates, with the old lady's carelessness, she could kill you with one slap.
Lu Chengwen sighed: "Senior Brother is right. True love should be one-on-one, it should be loyal, dedicated, and lasting."
Pan ifeng clenched her fist.
The other two squinted and watched Pan ifeng's fist, silently cheering her on:
Hit him! Hit him! He hasn't been hit yet! Hit him!
Hit him!
Lu Chengwen continued: "But in practice, Zhao Ritian's point also makes sense. Successful n often have many won."
"They succeed in their careers and are in higher social positions, so they naturally receive admiration and adoration from girls. At that stage, n are often very conceited, thinking they have conquered the world, holding all power, and can do anything..."
"Under extre confidence, when faced with those beautiful won throwing themselves at them, it's easy to be unable to resist temptation."
"After all, n who are in high positions, successful, and can still stay faithful to their wives are rare."
Pan ifeng said: "What about you?"
"I... you know, Master, I have quite a few girlfriends. But the one I'm really with... is just one... I guess..."
"How many exactly?"
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth: "The one I'm really with is just one. I always wanted to marry this one, my little secretary. She's beautiful, sensible, never gives trouble, I think she's great."
"But later... things got a bit out of hand."
Pan ifeng's eyes widened: "You're actually feeling wronged?"
Lu Chengwen was about to cry: "I'm telling the truth, Master! I really feel wronged! Lately, I don't know what's going on, won are just flocking to ! It's not like because of money or status, but all those people who used to annoy , I don't know what happened, they've been crazy throwing themselves at ."
"Is that true?"
"Ah!" Lu Chengwen said: "I've been trying to reject them, reject, and reject again! Sorry, I couldn't resist!"
Pan ifeng was furious: "So what do you think should happen?"
Lu Chengwen said: "Master, love is a complicated thing, there doesn't seem to be a standard answer. If you like three wives and four concubines, it also depends on whether they're willing, right? If everyone accepts it, if no one wants to let go, and everyone thinks it's great and they'll be happy... then it doesn't matter."
"If both people are together and feel that no third person can fit in, then of course, that's best!"
"There are many kinds of love in the world. But there will always be people who fall in love with soone they shouldn't, there will always be people who fall in love with soone they can't have, and there will be people who, at the age of love, make mistakes, only to regret it when their youth has passed... So even fall in love with soone who isn't even human..."
"I can only say, this kind of thing can't be clearly explained."
Pan ifeng lowered her head and muttered, "Can't explain it? Perhaps, as you said."
Zhao Ritian looked at Long Aotian. "What did he say?"
Long Aotian stared blankly at Pan ifeng. "He didn't say anything."
"Is that okay?"
"I don't know, it seems like... never mind."
Pan ifeng sighed. "You can stand up now."
"Second question: Which is more important, the country or won?"
Long Aotian was the first to raise his hand. "Won are important! A man who can't protect won has neither the qualification nor the ability to compete for the world!"
"As a new age man, we should respect and love won. Won can support half of the sky!"
Pan ifeng looked at him.
Long Aotian was nervous. This should be the right answer, right?
Bang!
Long Aotian covered his other eye and squatted down. "Another one... Did I say sothing wrong?"
Zhao Ritian looked at him. "Uh... The country is more important! A real man can't give up the vast land just because of personal emotions! A man should care for the world, look up to the sky, hold a three-foot sword, and achieve great accomplishnts..."
Bang!
Zhao Ritian also covered his eyes and squatted down. "Did I get it wrong again?"
Pan ifeng looked at Lu Chengwen. "You."
Lu Chengwen looked at the two of them squatting on the ground, both looking up at him with panda eyes.
"Can't we fight for the country with our wives?"
The two of them imdiately widened their panda eyes.
What the hell!
Isn't it supposed to be a choice between the two?
Lu Chengwen said, "It's great! Many accomplished people have a good wife."
Pan ifeng smiled bitterly. "But he said he was afraid I'd get hurt, afraid to drag down, and afraid he couldn't protect , so he wanted to leave ..."
Lu Chengwen said, "He should've asked if you were willing."
Pan ifeng looked at Lu Chengwen. "You're right, he never asked. He made the decision for . He thought he was being noble, thinking it was for my own good, but what about ? What do I do?"
Lu Chengwen looked at Pan ifeng. "Sotis, n just don't know what the right thing to do is."
"All n are self-righteous fools!"
Lu Chengwen sighed. "But aren't won also foolishly infatuated?"
Pan ifeng smiled bitterly and took out the last large teorite ice crystal. "Here, take it."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhao Ritian couldn't stand it anymore.
He suddenly stood up, his panda eyes wide open.
"Senior! It's not that I'm dissatisfied! Alright, I'm dissatisfied!"
"Since yesterday, you've been favoring Lu Chengwen. Everything he says sounds good, and everything he does is right! I won't even ntion that!"
"Let's talk about these three competitions. Which one of them was fair, just, and open?"
"The first one was about talent! It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Long Aotian and I have talents that can crush Lu Chengwen by eight hundred streets!"
"What talent does he have? He's just good at flattering! A regular, diocre true qi, and it's even pitifully weak! Compared to us, it's like the difference between a bad student and a top student! If this were school, he'd have to sit in the last row!"
"And you! Because he said one extra sentence, he doesn't need to be castrated. We almost got castrated because we asked one fewer question! I want to ask you, where's the fairness? Where's the justice?"
Pan ifeng looked at Zhao Ritian. "I'm the judge. I think he has more talent than you. If you wanted to judge, what would I be here for?"
"You didn't have fairness or justice either!" Zhao Ritian said, excited. "How can the competitors be convinced? Let's talk about the second competition, a three-way battle! He just used his mouth, while the two of us were fighting like idiots, and he won again! Is that reasonable?"
Pan ifeng said, "Fighting isn't just about strength, speed, and skills. Psychology, tactics, quick thinking, and the ability to handle pressure... these are all important factors."
"You two clearly look down on him, but also want to rope him in. If you end up unlucky, don't bla anyone."
"The third round was ridiculous! You two just talked for a while and gave him the big teorite ice crystal..."
"It was the super-large teorite ice crystal! Super-large!"
"Alright!" Zhao Ritian yelled. "Super-large! What did he do? We had to choose between two answers, and he just muddled through! Why give it to him?"
"Because I think he's better-looking than you guys!"
"Can looks be eaten?"
"Can being ugly be eaten?"
"Then you can't just give things to whoever is better looking!"
"The thing is in my hands, why should I decide according to your rules?"
"But it was originally mine!"
Pan ifeng angrily said, "Originally? Originally, it was in the sky! Do you rember what you said to from the start? Did you ever show any respect to ?"
Long Aotian stood up and leaned closer to Lu Chengwen. "What's going on?"
Lu Chengwen nodded. "It's starting to dig up old grudges."
Zhao Ritian: "I've been obedient since then!"
Pan ifeng: "You've been obedient and still argued with ?"
Zhao Ritian: "But your rules aren't fair!"
Pan ifeng: "I think you just think you're amazing and that if you don't win, it must be so conspiracy!"
Zhao Ritian laughed. "Well, if you think that way, I can't help it!"
Lu Chengwen shook his head. "You're an idiot."
Long Aotian was also shaking his head. "Even I know this is sothing you should never say."
Zhao Ritian finally cracked. "Senior, could you be reasonable?"
Pan ifeng looked at him. "Zhao Ritian, I'm here to judge, not to reason with you."
Zhao Ritian felt like he had been struck by lightning.
