Chapter 553: Being Hard-Controlled (Two in One)
Xia Wange couldn't help but sigh in his heart, wow, Lu Qiu really has the heart of an emperor and can grasp people's hearts so accurately.
The organizer's speech on the stage was still going on, but Xia Wange stood in the back with his hat on for more than half an hour. It was not that the speech could not be interrupted, but...
Xia Wange was controlled.
At the beginning, he said some polite words, first expressing that the organizer was very honored to host this metaphysics competition, then talked about the time span of this competition and the difficulty of the competition items, and finally expressed gratitude to all the contestants, praised their achievements, and also expressed regret for the accidents that occurred in this competition.
As for what the regret was, the leader who spoke did not say it explicitly, but everyone knew what it was.
Then, the organizer began to read out the rankings, and Xia Wange became the well-deserved first place. After hearing the organizer announce the rankings, she was about to grab the microphone to speak, but unexpectedly, the person speaking began to praise her again.
It was a bilingual praise, in the original language plus translation. Xia Wange could understand some of the original language, so to her, it was like a double compliment to her.
"......Everyone knows about the achievements made by Xia Xiuzhe. When I first heard about the incident in that village, I thought it was just an ordinary ghost. I thought that this is indeed something worth seeing. This is what we, who have practiced hard for so many years, should solve..."
"But later I heard that it was the mountain god who was causing the trouble. It was actually the mountain god. I told my good friend at that time that the three unconscious people would never wake up. It is our instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm and to follow the will of heaven. Although we do not agree with this approach, it is difficult for mortals to go against the will of God..."
Hearing this, Xia Wange took some steps and prepared to go on stage.
"However, Xia Xiuzhe did it. Her achievement makes me both envious and jealous..."
Xia Wange stopped walking again and rubbed her nose. It wasn't that she wanted to hear compliments, she just wanted to hear how jealous the other person was.
"I envy her for having such ability, and I envy her for having such courage and bravery. Compared with Xia Xiuzhe, I, who am much older, seem like a coward. She is a cultivator worthy of respect from everyone, but God is jealous of talents, and she sacrificed herself in the end..."
Hearing this, Xia Wange felt that she could go up and speak.
"But it doesn't matter! Xia Xiuzhe's will will be conveyed to each of us! You may think that I am talking after the fact, but in fact, since the first competition, I have already paid attention to this extraordinary contestant..."
Xia Wange's steps made a circle and then came back. She didn't want to hear why she was so special. She just wanted to hear how this guy could explain that he was not a hindsight expert.
"As everyone knows, we attach great importance to this competition. We value every participant. At the end of the first individual competition, when Xia Xiuzhe came back with a large bunch of red spider lilies as the last participant of the Bing Dynasty, I felt that this cultivator was not simple. She is the person whose ranking is the most inconsistent with her ability that I have ever seen..."
Xia Wange just kept listening to other people's praises, no, other people's inner monologues. After more than twenty minutes, she finally heard the person who was speaking start to remember her.
Although she listened to the compliments, Xia Wange still noticed that the speaker always covered his face every time he talked about her death. If you look from the front, you would think that he was sad, but from Xia Wange's angle, you can see that he was actually happy and grateful.
Come to think of it, she was still so young. If she didn't die, it would be a huge disaster for another ambitious place.
"Along the way, Xia Xiuzhe has experienced many ups and downs. She has been treated as a vase and an undercover agent, but she has withstood all the ups and downs with her strong heart. At first, I thought she would stand at the award ceremony at the last moment to explain the rumors about her undercover work in front of everyone, but she just left like that..."
Xia Wange narrowed her eyes. Okay, the other party stopped pretending. In the early stage, they praised her as a "dead person" who embodied the concept of metaphysics without borders and common development. After they earned a reputation for cherishing talents, they started to bring up the controversial incidents about her again, making her a less perfect hero and reducing her halo...
Humph, her tail is exposed. If she could really be praised from beginning to end, she would still respect the organizer of this event. But now, from her perspective, the other party can hardly contain his joy about her death.
"This board shows the first prize of this competition. I really hope that Xia Xiuzhe can come to the stage in person to receive this prize..."
Naturally, Lu Qiu also paid attention to what Xia Wange was paying attention to. Hearing this, he directly pulled out a microphone from the side and gave it to Xia Wange, while he stood next to the control console, with an attitude of "Let's see who dares to interrupt Xia Wange's speech."
Xia Wange strode onto the stage with a microphone in hand. The people in the audience were surprised at first to see someone coming onto the stage, but after seeing who it was, their eyes gradually widened and they were so scared that they dared not speak.
However, the man who was immersed in his "artistic" speech obviously did not notice these. He quickly said: "But unfortunately, the cultivator cannot be present, so this award will go to..."
"I'll come and collect it myself." Xia Wange gently took the sign away and said calmly, "You still need to collect your own award yourself..."
The spokesperson had his things taken away from him. He was stunned for a moment, then after seeing clearly, he just stood there in a daze, without reacting for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally found his voice and said in great surprise: "You, what's wrong with you?! You're not... Impossible! What's going on, you..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Xia Wange reached out and manually muted the microphone.
The people who were attending the award ceremony on the stage also came to their senses at this time and were completely shocked.
"What's going on? How did he survive?"
"I was in that mountain village at the time! I saw the rescue helicopter coming! When Zhou Qingze came down, his face looked very bad..."
"I spoke to my master on the phone that day, and he told me that there is no way anyone who does something like this will survive!"
"Oh my god! Is she a ghost? Just to collect an award and leave?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many of us here, who dares to come here?"
Xia Wange ignored the spokesperson who was standing not far from her and looked extremely unhappy. Instead, she took the microphone and said to the audience, "Yes, I am back alive. What I experienced before is indeed recognized as a one-way trip, but the fact remains that there is only one way out, and I will definitely not kill everyone."
"I came here not only to receive the award, but because I learned something, something that made me very sad and angry."
At this point, Xia Wange seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly adjusted his demeanor. He stopped talking and said officially, "Of course, I am very happy to win first place, and I am also very satisfied with the prize. I would like to thank all parties for their cooperation, which enabled the competition to run smoothly. Thank you all for coming and witnessing this moment with me. Thank you."
After saying that, Xia Wange was ready to leave the stage. The people from the country behind the scenes who had originally wanted to interfere stopped where they were when they saw her getting ready to leave the stage.
Xia Wange's official words of thanks were ignored by the people below. Those inexplicable words, which were just a passing mention, made people take them to heart.
"What did she say before about the heartbreaking and infuriating thing?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, I feel itchy inside. What painful thing can overshadow the joy of getting first place and the fact that I have returned from killing the gods."
"I feel like she must know something, and she knows the truth about why only Master Yu is here this time!"
"I feel so bad too. What on earth is going on..."
At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and shouted, "Xia Xiuzhe! What happened? Is it related to the recent discussion? Can you tell us?!"
Finally someone asked, Xia Wange did not turn around, but said: "I can't say more about the rest, but what I want to say is that all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in front of absolute strength! Evil cannot defeat good, and each generation has its own mission to shoulder, and the inheritance continues, and the torch is passed on!"
After making these bold statements and raising everyone's curiosity to the peak, Xia Wange walked off the stage leisurely.
Seeing her leave the stage, the person sitting in front of the control desk breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Lu Qiu and said, "Brother, she's finished speaking, can you stop staring at me? At first I thought she was making trouble, so I was going to turn off the microphone she was holding. Later I recognized who she was, and it was impossible to turn off her microphone."
"Although I'm hired by the organizer, I still know which side I should stand on... Can you please stop staring at me?"
Everyone here is related to metaphysics. He also has his own school, but his talent in metaphysics is not very good.
"You still have to make money." Lu Qiu suddenly said.
"Ah?" The man was stunned.
"Your phone is about to explode. I'm standing here and you just say you were coerced." Lu Qiu saw Xia Wange coming back and said quickly, "Just say the device broke down for no apparent reason."
After saying that, Lu Qiu followed Xia Wange away.
The person sitting in front of the control console was in tears. The equipment broke down inexplicably. The spokesperson from Japan whose microphone was turned off had winked at him several times, but he didn't know why there was still no sound after the other party turned on the microphone.
What's even more mysterious is that he didn't recognize Xia Wange at first and thought she was there to cause trouble, so he reflexively turned down the volume of the other party's microphone, but it was no use at all!
The volume of the other party's speech has not changed!
If he hadn't been familiar with metaphysics and there weren't many experts present, he would have thought he had seen a ghost...
Words that seemed to be true but were ambiguous could best arouse everyone's desire to explore. Xia Wange felt that she had laid most of the groundwork, so she took Lu Qiu to the stage in a dignified manner. She looked around and looked at the target person, Bai Yuyao. She sat down next to her, in the wheelchair where Zhou Qingze was sitting. To be honest, Lu Qiu's wheelchair was more comfortable.
Bai Yuyao knew that Xia Wange was still alive, and she also had a vague idea of what her senior brother had predicted, but she didn't know exactly what she knew. She was young and inexperienced, and couldn't hide things, so she was curious and worried about the ins and outs of the matter. She wanted to know a lot, but was afraid of getting into trouble, so she didn't dare to know too much.
At this time, in order to quickly end the chaos created by Xia Wange, the organizer went on stage to announce that the second place was Zhou Qingze, and invited him to the stage to receive the award and make a speech.
Zhou Qingze did not sit in a wheelchair, but walked onto the stage by himself as originally planned. However, after Xia Wange's commotion, the organizers were not so surprised that he was not seriously injured. They just discussed the current situation in a low voice in the Japanese language.
Zhou Qingze's brain was also very good. He guessed what Xia Wange wanted to achieve, so after finishing his official speech, he sighed and said, "Everyone knows that my physical condition is not good now. That's because I did something that should have been beyond my ability, but I don't regret it. This is what I should do..."
Xia Wange, who was sitting next to Bai Yuyao, echoed this and whispered to Bai Yuyao, "Your senior brother is really amazing. He was able to predict something so difficult."
Then, Xia Wange leaned close to Bai Yuyao and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret. You should be curious about what happened. Don't tell anyone else..."
So Xia Wange told him the whole story.
Bai Yuyao widened her eyes after learning the whole story, and for a moment she couldn't control her voice, "So that's how it is! Oh my god, it's so bad! No wonder... No wonder I couldn't contact my master these few days..."
After all this back and forth, coupled with Zhou Qingze's speech on the stage, everyone was extremely curious about this matter.
Only the man sitting behind Xia Wange's eyes lit up. He was born with excellent hearing and vision and a strong ability to capture sounds, so he heard clearly what Xia Wange and Bai Yuyao said. He knew that this matter was serious, but he was uncomfortable holding it in, so he decided to carefully and secretly tell a few people who knew him well.
At this time Zhou Qingze came back, and Xia Wange stood up and left, hiding his achievements and fame.
"Tell me about this matter. I won't be able to hold it in any longer." Bai Yuyao clutched the corner of her clothes and whispered to Zhou Qingze, "I'm under a lot of pressure right now."
"Discuss it with your sisters. Share the pressure with others, and your own pressure will not be so great." Zhou Qingze said with a smile when he saw his junior sister struggling.
"Ah?" Bai Yuyao was slightly stunned, "Can you tell me?"
Zhou Qingze smiled gently, "Can you tell me? Who can you tell? Can't you just do the divination yourself?"
At this point, even before the award ceremony was over, the news began to spread secretly and enthusiastically.
