The young man was both angry and amused. After a moment, he also sat down on the treetop and sighed helplessly, "May I ask, a person as gifted as you, little brother, has never been sacked in public?"
Luo Jiujiang tugged at his clothes and said seriously, "It's precisely because they beat me every time I opened my mouth and forced me to eat with my ears. Seeing that life was no longer possible, I had no choice but to leave my hometown and run to this damn place."
The young man in gray chuckled, "Seeing your demeanor, little brother, it's not hard for me to imagine what a legendary figure your father and grandfather were."
"I dare not," Luo Jiujiang immediately bowed. "Eight generations of my ancestors are great scholars, and I've only produced an unworthy descendant who performs stand-up comedy. If you can change your mind about wanting to kill me, and you tease me from now on, when we leave this world, we'll establish a Mingzong sect and teach 188 disciples. From now on, we'll be able to annoy our opponents with just a few words. Where in the world can't we go?"
When it comes to bullshit, Luo Jiujiang has long since reached the pinnacle, mastering it to perfection. He wraps a plea for peace in a joke, yet it simply strikes people as amusing, not inappropriate or disqualified.
The young man was rolling on the floor with laughter. It wasn't clear what had struck him so hard, but just when Luo Jiujiang thought he'd almost finished laughing, he rubbed his brows, shook his head, and continued laughing for a long time. When he spoke again, the smile still lingered on his face: "We'll talk about whether you'll change your mind later. If you remain so unconventional, I really won't be able to touch you. But even so, I should ask you about the chips from the last round..."
He delicately dragged out the ending tone, and then paused. Seeing the gleam in Luo Jiujiang's eyes, he couldn't help but smile even deeper: "If we want to talk about the bet... please tell me your name, little brother."
This chip was beyond Luo Jiujiang's expectation of being easy and simple. According to Luo Jiujiang's basic understanding of gambling and his original mental preparation, he thought that at least a little finger would be cut off.
"Luo Jiujiang. Jiu is the Jiu of Kyushu, and Jiang is the Jiang of Hanjiang. I wonder how you are doing?"
"Hmm..." The gray-shirted young man touched his chin. "Since we're betting names in this round, I'd feel like I've lost if I gave my full name. So, my last name is Xie, which means thanking guests."
Luo Jiujiang already had a guess in his mind, and he only needed to wait for his surname to make the final conclusion: "Xie Chuncan?"
"That's right." Xie Chun smiled and nodded. "You can call me by that name. Not only will I not mind, I'll even be happy to hear it. But I don't know how Jiujiang knew my name. Could it be that my influence has been fading recently, and some people dare to make fun of these three words?"
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Jiujiang told the truth: "All the way I went, no one mentioned your name to me. It was only by chance that I saw a stone tablet when I walked to the south..." The person who wrote the letter and Xie Chuncan were not allowed to enter.
He had barely said half of his words when Xie Chuncan chuckled and his entire face darkened.
As expected, just looking at Xiao Ren's reaction, it is clear that the two people should know each other.
"One of them is crazy, the other is stupid. You're going to tease me with such a joke?"
"...Excuse me, is designating someone as a lunatic from a distance a basic etiquette unique to your place?" Luo Jiujiang sighed. Judging from the other party's behavior since he and Xie Chuncan met, Miss Feng Xue's evaluation was not wrong.
Xie Chuncan does have a kind of "crazy" spirit that is straightforward, arbitrary and unreasonable.
Xie Chuncan's eyebrows twitched again, and it took him a long time to recover. He explained to Luo Jiujiang very amiably, "Jiujiang, you don't know. When she said I was crazy, she was just making a one-sided judgment and imagining. When I said she was crazy, it was all based on objective facts that had already happened."
Seeing Luo Jiujiang's expression of "I beg to differ", Xie Chuncan just smiled slightly: "Enough of small talk, it's time for the second round to start. I wonder if you have had enough rest now?"

"Lord Lu Qi." The subordinate knelt on the ground, even his breathing was extremely light, not daring to look up or even at the young man perched high on the chair. "The two teams we sent out earlier have been found."
"Hmm?" The young man paused as he carefully wiped the sword in his hand. "Could it be that they are so ashamed that none of them dare to come to see me?"
"Sir, they're all dead!" the subordinate reported with his eyes closed. "Someone from each team was killed by Lingfeng's white-feathered arrows. We couldn't find the body of the young man in black. Please forgive me, sir!"
"Xie Chun Can." The young man's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth to utter a name. He crumpled the white silk he'd been holding into a ball in his palm. "It's this lunatic ruining my business again. He's a spring silkworm, spinning silk instead of embroidering handkerchiefs, and instead of drawing a bow and arrow, he's completely insane!"
The subordinate buried his head deeply, not daring to respond, and just regarded himself as a piece of wood without ears.
"Forget it." The young man opened his palm, and the wrinkled handkerchief slipped through his fingers and was lightly kicked aside with his toes. "He must have taken the black-clothed boy away to find out my intentions. There's no need to send any more people out. Xie Chuncan will do the job of silencing him for us."
After all... under the hands of that unpredictable killer, he had never seen a living person who could survive for more than three days with the other party.

Seven Islands, a small world, on Hawksbill Island
"The Luo family is really going crazy right now." A few idle men gathered together, picking at shrimps on their plates and chewing their teeth. "It's said that they're about to move the entire clan to the upper realm. Is this true?"
