"Three days ago, when we were passing through Qusi Valley, we were besieged by several ferocious beasts, including four third-level beasts! If it weren't for Brother Mo and others who risked their lives to help, I'm afraid the rest of our literary club wouldn't have been able to hold off until the gentlemen came to rescue us, and would have been completely wiped out there... This is absolutely true, and Mr. Lu and Mr. Zuo can testify to it."
After these words fell, two people in the group of gentlemen stood up, clasped their fists and saluted Mr. Yi, then nodded and whispered in his ear what had happened... It seemed to be true.
"Hey... Although I gained a lot afterwards, got some opportunities, and killed a few second-level low-level beasts... But! These were all earned by my brothers who fought hard. If I take them all, wouldn't I be sorry to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou and my parents and brothers? So... I decided to count all the chips from the count of all the beast cores this time on these brothers, and give all the bamboo chips to them! I, Qin Shou, don't want a single cent!"
He said this with great passion and integrity, and many people thought he was a good person. Mr. Yi also nodded slightly. Then, Qin Shou seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness with Chu Tianxiao before, and only thought about "giving the bamboo chips to others". He ignored him and directly handed the Xumi Ring to a gentleman to count.
"A total of 1,100 chips. Not a bad result... Qin Shou, are you sure you want to give them all? Not a cent?" the gentleman said, "Generally, the team will split it equally. You have worked so hard along the way, you can't get nothing, right? Otherwise..."
"No! Thank you for your kindness, sir! But they saved my life, Qin Shou, and most of the people from our literary club who came here for training did the same! This is our unanimous decision, not my arbitrary decision! Please help us, sir!"
Qin Shou raised his voice slightly and the people behind him immediately reacted and echoed him.
"Yes, this is what we scholars should do."
"This is the moral bottom line for us scholars!"
"I only regret that I cannot kill more beasts and exchange them for more bamboo chips for my friends."
"This is our literary society! This is us, the scholars!"
This group of people also spoke very generously and passionately, and several people lying on stretchers were moved to tears...
"Thank you... Thank you all brothers!"
“Joining the literary club is the proudest thing in my life!”
"I have always believed that the literary society is a holy place for scholars, and it is indeed true!"
"You are all of high character, please accept my greetings!"
Qin Shou hurried forward to support him and said loudly: "Everyone, there is no need to do this. Think about it, as scholars of our generation, we have read the books of sages for so many years, isn't it just to follow the teachings of the sages?"
At this time, Mo Jun, who had lost one hand, shed tears and said, "Ah... I feel so ashamed! I only regret that my arm is broken. I have no hope of making further progress in this life, and I can't repay your kindness..."
"How can you say that! Brother Mo! As scholars, how can we lower our status? Even if our arms are broken, so what? We have given you all our bamboo chips. You can use them to exchange for a 'Millennium Life-Restoring Fruit' and return to normal!"
Mo Jun's eyes lit up and he looked at the gentlemen: "Is it really possible?"
After saying this, the gentleman counting chips looked embarrassed, "Thousand-year-old fruit of life, we have prepared such a reward, but... one thousand chips is too little..."
"How much does it cost? I, Qin Shou, swear to collect it all!" Qin Shou seemed to ignore the fact that the inventory was about to end, and excitedly shouted, "Please tell me, sir..."
"Ah... I need 10,000 chips. This item is too precious, and no one can gather that many bamboo chips..."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Qin Shou was shocked and sat down on the ground. "One... Ten thousand chips? This... This..."
As if he suddenly 'understood' that it was impossible for him to collect the money, he turned to all quarters for help: "Everyone... everyone, you see how righteous Brother Mo and the others are, they have fallen into this situation for us... I beg you, please help us with some bamboo chips, and when we have enough, we will definitely return it..."
As soon as these words were spoken, with such passion and emotion, many people actually believed them to a certain extent. Some geniuses immediately looked troubled. If it was a thousand chips, they might be able to get it together, but ten thousand chips... even with so many people, it would not be easy to get them together. Besides... they didn't have enough bamboo chips...
Only a few people noticed that the direction Qin Shou sought help from was completely opposite to the "rich" team, which means... he seemed to have selectively 'forgotten' which side was more likely to give him so many bamboo chips...
Qin Shou looked around and said, "Is there anyone who can help us? I heard that the Millennium Life-Growing Fruit must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise, the newly grown limbs will be much weaker than before, which is very troublesome... Is there anyone who has more bamboo chips?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Miss Luo has bamboo chips! Hey... where is she? She's gone..."
"I heard her say that she seemed to be going to deal with some other important matters..."
"What should we do then?"
"Hey! Didn't Brother Chu also break the record this time? He also has bamboo chips!"
After Qin Shou said this, he immediately stood up as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, bowed to Chu Tianxiao, and said: "Brother Chu! I have offended you just now, and I apologize to you again here! I hope you will not bear grudges, but please do not be stingy with the bamboo chips..."
Before Chu Tianxiao could speak, Mo Jun sighed: "Brother Qin, you don't have to beg him! He and I have a grudge, and my brothers Han and Ouyang have offended him... Oh, it's our fault for not recognizing the great man. We are really in trouble this time..."
“Brother Chu! You are a man of high character. You wouldn’t deliberately watch someone die just because of a small hatred in the past, right? I believe that you are definitely not such a person…” Qin Shou moved closer, as if to beg him, but at such a close distance, Chu Tianxiao could clearly see the sinister smile on his face…
And in the distance, Mo Jun, Han Qiu, Ouyang Di... All of them were secretly sneering, their eyes full of hatred and extreme pride, as if to say: It's frustrating to help your enemy, right? Yes, yes! I want you to feel frustrating!
This scene seemed... unreasonable.
Because no matter how this group of people acted, if their purpose was to use moral kidnapping to force Chu Tianxiao to spit out a large number of bamboo chips, then as long as he was determined and refused with one word, what could the other party do to force him
They... Do they think Chu Tianxiao is like them, a sour Confucian, a saint, and full of benevolence and morality
If this is true, then we can only say that the person who planned it is stupid, and this situation is also stupid!
But is this really the case
"There are many smart people in this world."
Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, but after a few breaths of thinking, he understood in his heart: "Whether it's the previous acting, the self-torture trick, the stooge, the bribed gentleman, or the expressions on the faces of these people at this moment, but deliberately let me see... Everything is just to create an illusion!"
"Their goal... is my qualification to take the big autumn exam!" (To be continued.)
