The young man threw his head back and laughed: "Okay, why not bet? Of course I bet! If you lose, take off your clothes and let me see if you are in collusion with them and secretly hide the stolen goods on you."
"Well, if you lose, no matter what means you use, whether you ask your teacher for permission or explain it to the academy yourself, you must place a few beds and stools here, and no one is allowed to remove them. From now on, except for you, anyone who comes here can sit or lie down, and even if they roll around, you won't get a chance to say a word."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two men immediately made a bet. The young man who had just loudly retorted to the young man had quietly moved to Luo Jiujiang's side and whispered a warning, "Fellow Daoist, we are grateful for your words of help, but please do not compete any further. You are still young, this is none of your business... You, you don't know that the two snow feathers shot down by the Moon God Heron were his achievements!"
The young man's cultivation level was the same as Luo Jiujiang's, both at the third level of Foundation Establishment. It was easy for him to hear the whispers of a Qi Condensation cultivator: "What do you think this academy is? You can go back on your word so easily? If you're scared, take off your clothes now and save yourself the embarrassment of a competition."
"What's there to be afraid of? We're competing to hit, not to shoot down." Luo Jiujiang smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder. "Do you think he's so powerful? I think he's not even worthy of carrying my friend's shoes."
The young man's eyes had darkened completely. "Oh? Why don't you call your friends who are casual cultivators out to have a look?"
"You're a grown man, how come the academy doesn't even teach you how to listen to sounds and distinguish words?" Luo Jiujiang sighed worriedly, "I told you you're not even worthy of carrying my friend's shoes, so where do you get the confidence to think you're worthy enough to meet him?"
The two sides were facing each other, but unfortunately, the independent cultivators on Luo Jiujiang's side couldn't help but interrupt him: "Fellow Daoist, he is Qiu Changyun from the Archery Society. The Qingyu Bow in his hand is a top-grade treasure. He has been immersed in the art of archery for seven years and has always been extremely talented. Fellow Daoist, you..."
Luo Jiujiang smiled, his hands behind his back, "Me? I received some archery instruction from a friend for a month, but the workload was so intense and the situation was so urgent that I didn't get much practice. Luckily, I've been playing with a slingshot since I was a kid, so I'll be relying on it today."
As he spoke, he took out a slingshot from his storage bag and gestured with a wave of his wrist.
The young man looked at Luo Jiujiang and almost laughed his belly out: "Slingshot? Slingshot? Hahahaha, you are simply a laughing stock! You use a broken slingshot that has no quality at all to compete with me? Hahahahahahaha!"
Several of the wandering cultivators turned pale, but Luo Jiujiang remained unmoved. He smiled and said, "Brother, you are exceptionally gifted, aren't you? My apologies, I forgot to mention that I happen to have a bit of talent as well. I can master it the moment I pick it up, and I have a photographic memory. Especially with a slingshot, it can hit anything I point it at... Oh, am I being too polite and reserved compared to this gentleman? Please forgive me for making fun of you."
As he said this, the small slingshot turned a full circle at Luo Jiujiang's fingertips.
If there were friends of the same age as Luo here, they would be able to recognize at a glance that Luo Jiujiang's expression and movements at this moment were exactly the same as when he first faced Luo Cang playing with the gong stick.
The author has something to say: The guests finally left... I really don't like the drinking culture, especially the kind where people drink without restraint until late at night in other people's homes...
