Chapter 174 It’s settled Wan Daoxuan: "How do you want to compare? You can discuss it together. Try to come up with a method that satisfies everyone. Please think about how you want to compare. If you have any good ideas, you can put them forward." After hearing this, the mob immediately gathered together and whispered to each other, and seemed to be afraid of being heard by Wan Daoxuan and the others, so they moved to the side. Among the group of guys, someone even chuckled quietly, "Brother Mai is really smart. It's true that the crying child gets the milk." The implication is that if it weren't for such a quarrel, the other party would not have made such concessions. Mai Zhanchang bowed slightly in response, looking like he was flattered. Wan Daoxuan and his friends didn't care about those guys. They were more focused on observing Shi Chun. As long as he didn't interfere, they would feel more at ease. A scene that made them even more relieved appeared. Shi Chun seemed too lazy to get involved in all this. He just let you make noise and went back to the cave to rest as if it had nothing to do with me. Even Wu Jinliang was a little surprised, and then he followed. Chu Jingtang was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
The four sect disciples on the pirate ship did not participate in the excitement outside, but closely guarded the entrance to the cave they entered. There were also four disciples from the Bilan Sect guarding the cave, whose main purpose was to protect the large amount of Insect Crystals stored there. On the hilltop diagonally opposite, Mulan's green figure hid to the side. Although she did not show up, she had been observing secretly. Seeing Wang Sheng leave as if he had nothing to do with it, a look of surprise emerged on her face. It was Wang Sheng who claimed that he would lead the mob to compete with her. Now that the time for the competition has come, why is he not participating? This made her a little worried, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "I gave him the opportunity, why didn't he participate?" Guan Yingjie, who was standing by, also looked down and said sarcastically, "The winner has been decided. Maybe he doesn't want to slap himself in the face." Mulan Qingqing hesitated and asked, "Will something unexpected happen?" Guan Yingjie: "Sister, you think too much. Our undercover agents are interfering over there. They can't come up with any effective resolution for a while. We gave them the opportunity, but they didn't cherish it. In the end, they can only accept the competition method we prepared." "I hope so." Mulan Qingqing murmured slowly, her heart still a little worried. To be honest, Guan Yingjie was only calm verbally. Unconsciously, several leaders here have become quite wary of Wang Sheng. The longer they don't see Wang Sheng make a final decision, the more uneasy they feel. They are afraid that the other party will suddenly attack and they don't know how to respond, as if they are always facing a hidden weapon. Wu Jinliang, who had entered the cave, saw that Shi Chun had actually sat down to rest, so he could not help but approach him and ask, "Are you just letting them discuss and decide like that without keeping an eye on them?" After such a long journey, it was still a bit tiring. Shi Chun closed his eyes and twisted his neck, "What's there to watch? There are traitors making trouble in the middle. They can't come up with any results no matter how hard they talk. In the end, the other side has the final say. Aren't you tired of watching them perform like a fool for a long time?" After hearing this, Chu Jingtang also figured out something. He pulled his beard and said to himself, "I was wondering why those guys suddenly got so angry that they dared to talk back to those big sects in person. They must be traitors." Wu Jinliang was concerned about something else. "Then let the other side have the final say?" Shi Chun: "Why worry about it? Just relax and have a rest. The guys out there only take on big responsibilities if they can get an advantage. If they can't get an advantage, do you think they can bypass us and agree to it? They can't push it off, and they have to find me to take the blame." Wu Jinliang thought about it and agreed, so he went to the side to meditate and rest. Chu Jingtang found that the big boss really saw through the mob, and he agreed with him. He chuckled, flicked his sleeves, strolled leisurely, and sat down next to his fellow disciple to rest. He put his hands on a pile of black cloth bags and patted them gently, making a comfortable rhythm. Although I am not in control of everything, the feeling of being in control is quite good. Those people outside the cave were a mob, and he felt that he was different from them. A group of people outside were chattering away for nearly half an hour, but they still couldn't reach a consensus.
The group of people racked their brains to come up with all kinds of ways to compete, including literary and physical fights, and even riddles. One of them suggested a competition to see who could sing better, but was scolded by the group of people. There were also suggestions to send people to the Moon Sea for a final try, to see who could find more insect crystals within a limited time. Those who opposed said that there was not enough time to go to the Moon Sea again, while those who agreed said that there was enough time, and we just had to leave before dusk. Someone asked who would represent everyone to go to the Moon Sea for a try, and the suggestion was immediately rejected. In short, all the endless suggestions were rejected after discussion without exception. You won’t know this unless you discuss it. Once you discuss it, everyone realizes the gap between themselves and the elite troops. It’s fine if those who are good at martial arts are worried about not being able to beat others, but those who are good at literature also doubt that they are not as good as others, saying that the big sects have more resources for cultivation and others may have more free time to study and so on. After a lot of discussion, I almost realized who I was and found that I was inferior to others in everything. How the hell can we compete when we can't even come up with a suggestion that would give us an advantage? Half an hour passed, and Wan Daoxuan and the others, who had been waiting there for half an hour, did not feel good. Half an hour was really not a short time, so they wisely went to the cave to take a nap. It was too boring to continue, and the time was almost right. After a glance, Li Shanshan shouted, "If we keep waiting, it will be dawn. How are we going to compete? Do you want us to wait forever? We are willing to wait, even until the deadline of the Meteor Shower Conference." The elite troops who were standing, sitting, or leaning were bored and sneered. A group of rabble were made to feel ashamed. The key point was that when they were asked the question, no one could stand up and shout out a good solution. They couldn't just stand up and say whatever they wanted. Seeing that no one responded, Li Shanshan immediately did not give them a chance to breathe and quickly followed the trend. "Haha, you can't blame us then. It's not that we didn't give you a chance. Since you haven't come up with a good solution yet, then follow our method." Director Mai Zhan seemed to muster up the courage to reply, "Tell me what you think." Wan Daoxuan said, "Don't waste your time. I'll give you one last chance. Pick three people from each side and have three fights, best of three. The side that wins will take all the Insect Extreme Crystals, and the other side cannot have any objections." Chief Mai Zhan immediately said stubbornly, "How can that be possible? If you are from a powerful sect, and you send three experts at random, we will definitely lose." Wan Daoxuan seemed to be angry and said, "We have people who are not injured. You can pick three of them to fight. We will pick three of your people who are not injured. Is that okay?" Li Shanshan: "We have already retreated again and again. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, it will be too much." He waved his hand and said impatiently: "No more talking. This time I have the final say. It's settled!" Director Mai looked back at everyone, trying to get some strong support, but no one responded. Everyone discovered to their sorrow that no matter how many players they chose from the other side, they had no chance of winning. After this incident, their self-confidence was dealt a heavy blow. They all became a little depressed and even doubted themselves. Do they really deserve to share the credit? The problem was that no one present dared to take the initiative and agree to this matter. It was even more difficult for Mai Zhanzhang to make a decision. He looked around and asked, "Where is the boss?" Someone said, "Back to the cave." Chief Mai Zhan hurriedly limped away, and the remaining leaders from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest also followed him. A group of people ran into the cave, woke up the meditating Shi Chun, reported the situation to him in a long and complicated manner, and asked what to do. Chu Jingtang, who had already stood up, pricked up his ears, wanting to know how the boss would respond. Shi Chun, who was sitting cross-legged, said calmly, "You are so powerful. I can't stop you when you want to fight, and I can't make the decision when you want to negotiate. Just do whatever you want. Do you have to ask me for my opinion? You have the final say, and I will listen to you." It's really a case of bringing up things that are not relevant. The huge loss had already passed, so why bring it up again? It made the group of people extremely embarrassed. "Boss, we haven't disbanded yet. You are still the boss we all pushed forward. You have to make the final decision on this matter. As long as you nod and agree, we will agree to it. If you think it's not okay, you can convince the other party to discuss it again." Director Mai bowed and nodded and laughed dryly. The group of people nodded repeatedly. "Hehe." Wu Jinliang on the side couldn't help laughing. Things have come to this point, and these guys actually want to find someone to take the blame.
Shi Chun didn't say anything else. He stood up, pushed away the guys who were blocking his way, and walked straight out of the cave. He walked out of the cave slowly and unhurriedly. Wu Jinliang also came out carrying a big knife. Mai Zhanchang and others followed him obediently, while Chu Jingtang stayed behind and watched. As soon as they saw the big boss coming out, the mob standing outside retreated to both sides, making way for him. A series of cautious and embarrassed voices rang out, "Big boss." When they saw Wang Sheng show up, Wan Daoxuan and others on the opposite side suddenly became nervous. Mulan Qingqing and Guan Yingjie, who were hiding on the top of the mountain and watching, immediately showed a serious look and stared at them. Shi Chun stopped in front of a group of elite soldiers, looked at them, and said with a smile: "I heard them say that they want to hold a martial arts competition, a best-of-three match, and they also said that someone has the final say, so it's settled. May I ask, who decided it?" Although they were just a few ordinary words, the momentum revealed in the words made the mob instantly forget the embarrassment just now, and instantly felt like they straightened their backs, and instantly felt that the backbone who led them to gallop across the country was back. The people on the opposite side also felt inexplicable pressure in an instant, and they clearly felt that as soon as the real person appeared and spoke officially, the aura of the mob on the opposite side changed. Li Shanshan, who had made the decision with such confidence before, pursed his lips, hesitating about how to respond. Wan Daoxuan laughed and said, "Brother Wang, do you have any better ideas?" Shi Chun looked up at the crescent moon in the distance, then retracted his gaze and said calmly, "It's the latter part of the night. According to the rules of the tournament, we can end the competition now. It's too much trouble to drag on with the best-of-three game. It gives me a headache just to hear about it. Let's be simple and direct. Let's have a one-on-one match and be done with it. I'll represent our side and you can choose your side. You can decide the time and place. Let me know when you're done. It's settled." After saying that, he turned and walked away calmly through the stunned crowd, then went back into the cave to rest. (End of this chapter)
