Even Yuan Tao himself was a little dazed. He had anticipated many situations, but this situation was obviously not within the scope of his expectations.
The three great empires are all based on martial arts, and magic is also a kind of martial arts. People value dignity more than life. No one will ever refuse a challenge initiated by their peers. Even if they know they will lose, they will Will agree without hesitation.
Because in their blood, in their bones, the words "dignity is more important than life" have long been engraved.
This is also the premise of Zhao Xun's strategy this time. They never thought that Meng Yu would refuse the challenge.
Meng Yu is not from this world, he doesn't have so many rules and regulations, although he doesn't know Zhao Xun's intention to provoke this competition, but Zhao Xun's veiled eye contact with the earth magician, he knows everything see it.
It is not Meng Yu's style to take the bait knowing there is a conspiracy.
Hearing Meng Yu's answer, even Zhang Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed happily, just like the former Lord of the Kingdom.
He has been in this world for more than 30 years. Naturally, he was inevitably influenced by the thoughts of this world, thinking that this is an inescapable crisis. Only then did he realize that Meng Yu is not a person here at all. Your way, how can this make him unhappy.
And the white-haired old man sighed. At his age, he has seen many talented people, but how many of them can grow up in the end
Although Yuan Tao's talent made him feel gratified, Meng Yu's ability to move and stretch made him feel terrible. The person who can survive to the end is often this kind of person. No matter what your talent is, only by surviving can you be qualified Talk about something else.
It is really unwise to have such an enemy under the tree for no reason!
Of course, this was only because he took it for granted that in Meng Yu's heart, refusing to challenge was also a great shame.
Others in the hall were shocked by Meng Yu's helplessness. In their view, rejecting a challenge from a peer, especially in public, is tantamount to being a rascal.
After waiting for a while, he found that Meng Yu had returned to his seat, and after continuing to discuss food with Lin Zhanxin, Zhao Xun finally announced the final winner of the competition with a livid face.
He mobilized the crowd for a long time, but in the end he found out that he was playing the piano against a cow, and he didn't accept the move at all. This feeling of punching with all his strength but hitting the empty space made him want to vomit blood.
…
"You have also seen what happened today. You should stop participating in the National Competition. I have made you a burden."
The second half of the banquet was spent in a strange atmosphere. Meng Yu, who was full of food and drink, left the resplendent palace with satisfaction. Zhang Nan said these words to Meng Yu while still in the carriage with a solemn expression.
Shaking his head, Meng Yu looked directly into Zhang Nan's eyes: "No, I promised them that I will participate in the national competition with them. Not only will I not quit, but I will also compete with all my strength."
"Don't you understand what today's events mean?"
"They are afraid of you. From the moment you moved into Zhang's house, you have been labeled as Zhang's house. They are afraid that my power will become stronger and stronger, and they are afraid that my helpers will become stronger and stronger, so they I want to get rid of you first."
Zhang Nan roared angrily. Originally, he thought that with Meng Yu's personality, even if he didn't say anything, Meng Yu would propose to withdraw from the competition.
"I know you are doing it for my own good, but it's not that I don't want to quit the game, it's that I can't!"
Meng Yu smiled wryly and shook his head again.
Zhang Nan couldn't figure it out, is there anything more important than his own life in this world
"Lin Zhanxin, have you seen what happened today? Help me persuade Meng Yu."
Zhang Nan looked at Lin Zhanxin who was sitting quietly beside him, and said anxiously that he really regarded Meng Yu as a brother, and he didn't want Meng Yu to be implicated because of him.
Lin Zhan shook his head with a smile, with the same expression as Meng Yu. When he saw this, Zhang Nan's heart sank.
"No matter how Meng Yu chooses, I will support him, and I will tell you secretly that my family is not weak. With you, even if the leader of the Molin Empire wants to deal with Meng Yu, the two of us combined, he Don’t even dare to act rashly.”
Lin Zhanxin said firmly, the confidence in that tone surprised not only Zhang Nan, but also Meng Yu, although he had always guessed that Lin Zhanxin's identity should be unusual, but it seemed too confident to say such a thing. Isn't it unusual
"There doesn't seem to be a large family named Lin in the Molin Empire?"
"Could it be the Renault Empire, or the big family of the Lingtian Empire? But, no matter how powerful they are, they still can't quench their thirst?"
Zhang Nan rolled his eyes, and the information in his mind flashed quickly, but he couldn't guess Lin Zhanxin's identity.
"Aunt Mei was seriously injured at the time, and only the Bone Shaping Pill could save her, and the Bone Shaping Pill was only available to the Sun family in the entire Jiangxia City. When they gave me the Bone Shaping Pill, I promised them that I would definitely participate. National competition, and will go all out to get good results, they helped me, I can't leave them alone."
"And, even if I quit the game now, if they want to deal with me, they will continue to deal with me, and it won't change just because I quit the game."
After waking up from the shock of Lin Zhanxin's tone, Meng Yu also explained that after all, Zhang Nan was also his brother, and he didn't want to create any barriers between Zhang Nan and Zhang Nan because of this incident. "But you regard them as friends. Do you know what they think? Today they have made a choice. Is it worthwhile for you to do this?"
Zhang Nan's tone was not as tough as before. I don't know if he was moved by Meng Yu's story or because of Lin Zhanxin's assurance.
"It's worth it, I know they can't help themselves, I don't blame them." Meng Yu smiled calmly, thinking of what Sun Cheng said before, he was still very happy, sometimes our persistence is as simple as that, because a greeting, A smile, a look...
Behind Zhang Nan's carriage, Sun Cheng and the others were sitting in another carriage, but at this moment the atmosphere above was somewhat dull.
Gu Xincheng smiled wryly and shook his head. Although they are just the patriarchs of a remote town, they still have some relationship in Molin City. Based on the news they have received these days, they can still come to their own judgment, and this judgment, Now it seems that it is very correct.
"I'm afraid Meng Yu won't continue to participate in the national competition, right?" Gu Xincheng said with some regret. They have paid a lot of money, whether it is the bone-shaping pill or the magic wand, they are the most precious things in their family, but looking at them now Come, they seem to want to fetch water from the bamboo basket and it's all gone.
"I know you will think more about it, but we also have our own choices. If it weren't for Meng Yu, we would have died many times. Our lives are all Meng Yu's, so we respect Meng Yu's. Any choice."
Gu Shaoze looked directly into his father's eyes, and said in a firm tone, and from the anger in his tone, it could be heard that he was very dissatisfied with his father's performance at the banquet today.
"And Meng Yu and Lin Zhanxin are our partners, comrades-in-arms, not strangers who can be discarded casually, and I will respect his choice."
Li Ze's calm voice revealed a kind of firmness. Those who knew him knew that his decision would not change.
"Father, I know that you are all smart people. Perhaps your judgment is correct, but is your choice necessarily correct?"
"Sometimes being smart is not necessarily a good thing. Isn't there a saying that fools are blessed with fools?"
Although Sun Cheng is not much older than Gu Shaoze, he is the most mature among them because of his experience, and he can guess something about what happened today, but sometimes you really can't be too smart. Cheng has been smart for many years, this time, he decided to be stupid again.
Hearing what the three said, Sun Ninghai and the others also looked at each other in dismay, "The children have grown up!"
However, they firmly believe in their own judgment, and their wisdom has allowed them to succeed many times, and this time is no exception, and this kind of self-confidence cannot be changed by just a few words.
