Thinking about these things, Zou Chengyun's mood became extremely complicated. He changed his arrogant attitude from before, and said in a low voice. "Cough, Little Brother Zhuang, no, no, Master Zhuang, please do a good deed. The ancients say, everyone can make mistakes. We don't have any grudges between us, so there's no need to make things so tense. Don't you think so?"
This Zou Chengyun was very cunning. Just now he was acting all high and mighty, and now he was apologizing. After all, he didn't want to die just like that.
"Oh, we don't have any deep hatred between us, but your attitude towards my Master has made me very unhappy. Moreover, you're asking for a rebuff and want to kill me. I don't mind teaching you a lesson," I said unhurriedly.
"Master Zhuang, I have a very good relationship with Brother Chen. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. It's because our relationship is too good that we sometimes seem casual. Don't think too much about it," Zou Chengyun hurriedly explained, and winked at Grandmaster Chen.
"Ai, Brother Zou, these past few years, you've been ignoring me. You've come to Jingcheng a few times, but you've always been busy with business. You didn't even give me face to meet up. Now you're saying that our relationship is very good, who would believe you!?" Grandmaster Chen couldn't help but question.
These words made Zou Chengyun feel very awkward, and he clearly didn't want to give him a way out.
"Did you hear that?
My master is giving you face by being willing to entertain a small fry like you. Do you really think you're something? "I curled my lips and said sarcastically.
To be honest, I don't really like people who have a sense of superiority. Intentionally or unintentionally, they have to pretend to be a b * tch. Now that I took the chance to teach him a lesson, I should fiercely scold him so that he learns his lesson.
"Yes, yes, Master Zhuang is right."
Zou Chengyun's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and he looked at me with a face full of eagerness. How could I not know what he was thinking.
"Go and kowtow to my master three times, then I'll let you go," I waved my hand and said.
"Ah … An apology is fine, but no kowtowing!"
Zou Chengyun resisted. This wasn't some private occasion. Not only were there a bunch of Jianghu juniors watching, there were also Wulin colleagues. If he kowtowed to the leader of a Jianghu Dojo, how would that be?
Where would he put his face in the future?
"Oh, then good luck," I replied indifferently.
Zou Chengyun's face was sullen. He fell into a state of hesitation. On one hand, there was hope for survival. On the other hand, there was face. After a short moment of consideration, he made a decision.
"Forget it, it's more important to stay alive. At most, I'll tell the juniors of Jianghu here, including my martial arts colleagues, not to spread what happened today. That way, I can still save my face. When the matter is completely over, I won't be able to cause any trouble in the future."
Then, Zou Chengyun stumbled over to Grandmaster Chen and knelt on the ground. "Old Chen, I was wrong about what happened before. I hope you can forgive me. After all, we have known each other for so many years. Please help me beg Master Zhuang …"
Grandmaster Chen couldn't help but laugh at Zou Chengyun's shameless behavior. Without a doubt, at this moment, his heart was filled with joy. He had never imagined that Zou Chengyun would kneel before him with such sincerity.
This was an involuntary sense of pride and excitement. It seemed that his choice back then was not wrong. At least he had brought up such a legendary disciple. Even if Grandmaster Chen didn't put in much effort, he could feel that he was a part of this event. He had personally witnessed the birth of a legendary figure.
"Bang, bang, bang."
These three deep sounds made their hearts tremble. They had thought that this so-called Rookie King of the Year was just a name without any substance. However, when it came to actual skill, many things could be tested.
Even a true Wulin expert had failed miserably. They could only accept it.
After kowtowing, Zou Chengyun stood up with difficulty. "Master Zhuang, you should follow our agreement and give me the antidote now, right?"
"Antidote?
I don't have it! "I shook my head without thinking.
"Master Zhuang, are you joking? If you don't have the antidote, then why do you want me to kowtow?!
Are you deliberately messing with me? "Zou Chengyun questioned. From his tone, there was an unconcealable anger and resentment.
"You're thinking too much. What's the point of messing with you? Didn't I say it clearly just now?
As long as you kowtow, I will let you go. That's not wrong. Moreover, I let you leave as you wish. I won't stop you. Isn't this the greatest privilege? "
Hearing my explanation, Zou Chengyun almost collapsed. However, looking at my eyes, he didn't seem to be joking.
Or could it be that this poison didn't need the antidote and would automatically disperse after a while?
Out of curiosity, he asked me.
After getting a definite answer, Zou Chengyun immediately became like a frosted eggplant. "Alright, remember what you said. I still have things to do today, so I'll leave first."
He casually said a few polite words. His attitude was pretty good. Then, he said a few more words to the other Wulin colleagues and left in a hurry.
"Xiao Zhuang, you're really something. I never thought that one day, I would actually receive the kowtows of a Wulin person. This is too satisfying!"
Grandmaster Chen's face showed a strong sense of excitement. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he was this happy.
What was a bit regretful was that he forgot to record it. Otherwise, he would be so happy. In the past, this Zou Chengyun often mocked Grandmaster Chen, but as the saying goes, the river flows east for thirty years, then turns west for thirty years. Today, he could finally hold his head high.
After such a ruckus, the dozens of people in the room looked at me in a completely different light. Previously, they had thought that I was just being competitive, but it turned out that I was the one who truly had a card up my sleeve.
On the other hand, Zou Chengyun didn't prepare enough. Although he seemed to have a small advantage, it wasn't enough to knock me down.
