He Yong was very good at organizing, and the other children in the village quickly became friends with him. He also became the king of the children in the nearby villages, but he only listened to Baili Wanwan.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yang'er suddenly woke up and found that Baili Wanwan was not by her side.
Originally, she thought Baili Wanwan was a fairy and would not encounter any danger, but she couldn't help but overthink. When she had no other choice, she ran out to look for her. She happened to meet He Yong with a group of children and they went out together to find Baili Wanwan.
"I'll teach you a lesson today."
He Yong shouted, rolled up his sleeves, and walked behind the haystack, quickly pulling out Wan Qiusui who was hiding there.
Wan Qiusui is not short, but she is at a disadvantage in front of He Yong, because He Yong is also known for his great strength.
"What are you doing? You bunch of people are blocking my way here. If word gets out, aren't you afraid people will say you won unfairly? You're ganging up on me. I'm going to report this to the village head."
Wan Qiusui tried to reason with the crowd, but He Yong angrily berated her.
"You still have the nerve to say that? At your age, you're bullying a junior. You call yourself a man?" He changed his tone abruptly, and under the moonlight, slapped Wan Qiu Sui on the back of the head, his voice even more sinister.
"That's true. You usually act all effeminate. How could you be a proper man? But you'd better watch out, or I won't let you off so easily."
He Yong's actions just now showed a lot of masculinity and captivated many of the young girls present.
However, Baili Wanwan's gaze was not on him; instead, she proposed a one-on-one duel with Wan Qiusui.
She took two steps forward, picked up a few pebbles from the ground, and then threw them at Wan Qiusui.
"We can have a one-on-one match later. If Wanwan wins, you can't bother us anytime!"
What's there to be afraid of in a one-on-one fight with a little kid?
Moreover, Baili Wanwan is a little girl, so he will definitely be the victor.
Wan Qiusui's plan was quite clever, but he simply couldn't swallow his anger and started cursing.
"You lot, just wait and see how I beat the person you admire most. You lackeys, I'll make you taste the bitterness of being slapped in the face."
Upon hearing this, He Yong was indignant and wanted to take action, but was stopped by Baili Wanwan.
"He can say whatever he wants, we know what's going on in our hearts." During her time in the human world, Baili Wanwan has learned a lot, at least she understands some common sense.
If a dog bites her, she can't just bite the dog back, right?
"A bunch of lackeys, they're only fawning over her because her family is rich, they're shameless!"
After saying this, Wan Qiu Sui stared coldly at Baili Wanwan and said irritably, "We can't just have a competition like this. We have to make a bet, right? I promise you, if I lose, I won't bother you. But what if you lose?"
“Wanwan can’t possibly lose.” Baili Wanwan answered truthfully, but before she could finish speaking, Wan Qiusui interrupted her with a cold laugh.
"You're too confident, little girl. Here's what we'll do: if I win, you'll grant me one request. As for the request, I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I do!"
Baili Wanwan readily agreed, since Wan Qiusui had no chance of winning the competition.
But the other children got worried and started blaming Wan Qiusui.
Lin Yang'er further advised Baili Wanwan not to act impulsively.
"Fairy sister, can we not act impulsively before we do things? I know you are very capable, but this person is not someone to be trifled with. What if he uses some tricks, and you end up agreeing to his unreasonable demands?"
Lin Yang'er's words made sense. Baili Wanwan was taken aback, but quickly shook her head: "It's okay, Wanwan knows what she's doing."
If Wan Qiu Sui uses underhanded tactics, she can counter them with her newly learned techniques.
That was the settled matter.
Wan Qiusui remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
Baili Wanwan is bound to lose. Although she may be a monster, after observing her for so long, I can tell that she is only good at underwater martial arts. Once on land, she is no different from an ordinary person. Therefore, Baili Wanwan is no match for him.
With such a great opportunity before him, he had to think about how to gain as much benefit as possible.
Before he could even process what was happening, Baili Wanwan brought it up again.
"It's so late today, everyone should go back and rest. Our competition will be held tomorrow after school."
"Don't you all find it incredibly boring to study at that private school all the time?"
Wan Qiusui yawned, thinking that these children were simply too ignorant; scholars were meant for those with sharp minds.
There are countless scholars in this world, but very few can actually become the top scholar in the imperial examination.
These children are practically obsessed, spending all their time thinking about impossible good things.
"Read ten thousand books, and your writing will flow like a god's."
He Yong was not only physically strong, but also quite accomplished in his studies. He could remember everything Wan Suizhou taught in class without missing a single word, and he could also integrate and apply it.
"If you really study hard, you will naturally be confident when the exam comes."
What he said made a lot of sense. He Yong was not a brute at all; on the contrary, he seemed more like a true scholar.
In an instant, Baili Wanwan seemed to see the light.
He Yong was able to remember all the sayings of Confucius that she had racked her brains to memorize.
"Brother He Yong is so amazing." Baili Wanwan praised him generously and even applauded him.
He Yong blushed instantly when praised like that by the girl he liked.
He scratched his head awkwardly and said modestly, "Oh, it's nothing. I just study late into the night every night, so I'm lucky enough to remember some of it. In the surrounding area, let alone a top scholar, there are very few even a county-level or provincial-level scholar. I must bring honor to our villages and try to become the top scholar!"
The young man spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, clearly indicating that he was confident about the matter.
"Okay, okay!"
But this exhilarating scene was interrupted by Wan Qiusui, who burst into laughter, almost out of breath.
She pointed at He Yong, ignoring the pain in the back of her head.
"You? You think you can become the top scholar in the imperial examination? Keep dreaming. You're really talking big!"
The confidence on He Yong's face vanished in an instant.
He also knew that what he had just said was nothing short of delusional.
But one should still have dreams, though I never expected the devastating news to come so quickly.
