More and more notes were stuck to his face.

"Pfft, ahahaha, Uncle Master, Wu Shi, how did you two turn into mops! Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore, let me laugh for a while!"

I burst into laughter, clutching my stomach; I couldn't stop.

The senior apprentice ripped the paper off his face and said angrily, "No, we really can't win a single round, can we? We're not playing anymore. If we play any longer, I'll turn into a paper doll!"

"Hahahaha." I laughed so hard I stomped my feet.

The master's wife stood up and clapped her hands: "There's no challenge at all. You should practice some more."

The master pointed at the master's wife's back and said to Wu Shi, "Shi'er, does he look down on us?"

Wu Shi scratched his head: "Uh, it seems so, but we really can't win."

The master's face darkened after hearing this.

Indeed. Most of life's unpleasantness stems from impotent rage.

I took out my phone, wanting to send Xixi and the others my blessings.

Before the Lunar New Year, Master had already set up an array near Xixi's home to guard against and monitor evil spirits at any time.

At this time, Xixi should be spending the New Year with her parents.

When I checked my phone, I realized that data was off.

Turn on internet data.

Ring, ring...

The sound kept ringing out.

So many mass messages flooded in, it was overwhelming.

I also saw the New Year's greeting text message from Xixi.

Happy New Year! May it be another year full of energy!

[Xiao Xi, did you miss me? In the new year, love me even more, okay? Mwah, your cutest Xixi Princess!]

I replied with a smile:

[Okay, my dearest little princess, I hope you're happy in the new year, and that you love me even more!]

I then scrolled down and found the message from White Rabbit:

[Xiao Xi, how are you doing? Wishing you even more luck in the new year.]

We'll see each other again soon!
