At this moment, Lu Zhengguo was leisurely sipping tea, indifferently glaring back at everyone's gazes one by one...
"This is impossible..."
Everyone was thinking the same thing: even though they were just clergy, they knew about the Lu family head's situation; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to curry favor with the Qiao family head…
It was a common consensus that the head of the Lu family wouldn't live more than a month, but now he was standing there healthy and strong, which made everyone exclaim that it was impossible...
"Haha... I see, this is all a conspiracy. I never imagined that someone of the Lu family head's status would do something so undignified..."
As if he had suddenly realized something, Sakata Ichiro burst into laughter and said…
Seeing his expression, everyone couldn't help but frown, wondering what he had figured out. However, everyone knew that Sakata Ichiro also lived in the Shanhe Villa District, so perhaps he really did know something that others didn't...
"I wonder what Sakata-sama has learned?"
Lu Zhengguo watched him with amusement, waiting for his performance. At this moment, his mindset was extremely detached, as if he had seen through many things after dying once...
“Of course I saw through the Lu family head’s conspiracy. It was all to frame the Qiao family head. The Lu family head went to great lengths to plan this, feigning illness and being bedridden, all to make everyone outside believe that you were a dying man…”
When everything is ready, and the time is right, appear before Old Master Qiao in good health. He will then believe that you have performed a miracle, thereby threatening Old Master Qiao to agree to some unfair conditions, and then pushing this pre-prepared young man forward...
But you didn't expect that this young man was a penniless scoundrel to be ingrained in his very being. Not only did he harass my female followers outside, but he also shamelessly tried to freeload a meal in such a setting. His flaws were just too obvious...
So all of this is just a play you and this young man put on. But this lie is obviously easy to expose. A smart man like the Lu family head would actually push such a young person to treat Old Master Qiao. Such a basic mistake is obvious at a glance...
Everyone knows that traditional Chinese medicine skills require time to accumulate, but how old is he? He's only in his early twenties. Even if he was born with medical knowledge, how skilled could he be? I don't believe anyone here can't see that this is a scam, a scam targeting Old Master Qiao…”
Sakata Ichiro launched into a long and detailed explanation, his analysis so meticulous that Wang Wei almost had the illusion that he himself might be a fraudster…
"That's right, Master Sakata's analysis is correct. This is obviously a scam. A single banquet exposed his poor and stingy nature. How could someone like that be a divine doctor?"
Chris's eyes lit up as he echoed...
"Amitabha Buddha, so that's how it is..."
Yu Zhen Daoist responded by chanting his Daoist name…
The head of the Qiao family frowned. He was starting to suspect that Lu Zhengguo was behind this whole thing, because Lu Zhengguo had indeed threatened him into agreeing to unequal terms…
"Haha...it seems you're so used to lying that you actually believe your own lies..."
Wang Wei looked at them and mocked them…
"Boy, you've repeatedly disrespected me. Today I'm going to show you that there are always people more capable than you, and I'm going to expose your lies in front of everyone..."
Sakata Ichiro glared at Wang Wei and roared, "Because of him, Ichiro has lost a goddess-level follower. This is an unacceptable loss. Therefore, I want to use what I brought to gain an advantage and then trample Wang Wei under my feet to vent my anger..."
"Oh, really? Please begin your performance..."
Wang Wei said nonchalantly…
Seeing Lu Zhengguo and Wang Wei so calm, Old Master Qiao frowned deeply, his thoughts unknown. Faced with this situation, he didn't intervene. He wouldn't make a decision until the very last moment. What he wanted was someone who could cure his illness, not a charlatan or a fraudster…
Wang Wei's amused attitude infuriated Sakata Ichiro. It was clear that Wang Wei was looking down on him, and this contemptuous attitude hurt him even more than direct verbal insults.
"Hmph! Let's see how long you can keep up this act. Didn't you say you could cure Patriarch Qiao's illness? Why don't we see who can actually restore Patriarch Qiao to health..."
Upon hearing Sakata Ichiro's words, Wang Wei's eyes lit up. Someone actually wanted to make a bet with him; this was like a lamb being delivered to his doorstep...
"Oh? You're that confident?"
Wang Wei looked at Sakata Ichiro with amusement and asked in return…
"Hmph! I'll tell you whether you dare or not!"
Sakata Ichiro asked coldly…
"Why wouldn't we dare? But shouldn't we add some stakes to the bet?"
Wang Wei couldn't help but ask back...
"You're smart enough to know what's good for you, but even if you throw me a ton of bets, it won't make a difference. The fact that I live in the Shanhe Villa District proves I'm not short of money. I want you to kneel on the ground, bark like a dog, and crawl around everyone ten times..."
humiliation…
Absolute humiliation…
Wang Wei clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this guy was really going all out to humiliate him. It seemed this guy had some skill, but compared to his ability to directly gift lifespan, everything else was trash…
"What if you lose?"
Wang Wei looked at him calmly, waiting for his answer...
"I can't lose..."
"With what I brought, there's no way I can lose," Sakata Ichiro said confidently, thinking to himself.
"What if? Since it's a bet, I can't be the only one with a stake, can I?"
Wang Wei wasn't so easily fooled; he wasn't going to let him get away with it so easily...
Sakata Ichiro's face darkened as he glared at Wang Wei, finding him far too aggressive...
"Hmph! Since it's a bet, the stakes should naturally be equal..."
Sakata Ichiro's words left him a way out. After all, in terms of status, he felt that a poor nobody couldn't compare to him. Even if he lost, he could offer an easy wager, or even an equal wager, he believed that the clergy present would stand by his side...
"You mean if you lose, you have to kneel on the ground, bark like a dog, and crawl around everyone ten times?"
Wang Wei stared into Sakata Ichiro's eyes and questioned him...
Hearing Wang Wei's relentless insistence, Sakata Ichiro was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond...
"Or does Master Sakata believe he will lose, so he dares not admit the bet himself, in order to leave himself a way out?"
Once these words were spoken, Sakata Ichiro was in a precarious position. If he continued to be ambiguous, it would be seen as a lack of trust in himself. If that were the case, it would have been better to abandon the bet in the first place...
Seeing that the way people were looking at him was beginning to change, Sakata Ichiro, unable to withstand the pressure, finally gritted his teeth and said...
"That's right, if I lose, I'll bark like a dog and crawl around everyone ten times..."
After saying that, Sakata Ichiro seemed to have all his strength drained away, but there was also a sense of relief...
