There were many guests at the banquet, Xie Zhuzhou was quite cautious. He opened the champagne but didn't drink it, and he also opened the red wine but didn't drink it.
These numerous feints caused Ji Wuwei to quietly break down.
He anticipated that his uncle would have a "mound" today, so he really enjoyed teasing his uncle who had gone to great lengths to set up this plan for him.
If my uncle doesn't get what he wants, he'll definitely get furious and want to take action against him.
He made many hidden weapons and custom-made self-defense weapons, such as freshly used steel balls. If you grab a few of these, although it won't kill anyone who gets close, it will scare them into unconsciousness.
That thing just sounds impressive.
The steel ball isn't powerful enough to seriously injure someone, but if he uses Internal Energy, the steel ball will greatly increase the danger.
The steel balls I just gave to my second brother's two friends weren't life-threatening, but they'll be something they'll remember for a lifetime.
Xie Zhuzhou curled his lips and turned to look at Chu Yanzhang, who was obediently following beside him. Suddenly, a question came to mind.
"By the way, Little Yan, I didn't tell you, being my friend is dangerous." Xie Zhuzhou belatedly realized, would Chu Yanzhang be implicated after appearing by his side?
Chu Yanzhang's lips curled up, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "Don't worry," he said, "Once my guide cane returns, I can activate my protective mode."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." To be honest, this really does resemble the spirit of a weapon in a cultivation novel. If everything in the world is made up of data, then it's not impossible.
People like him who have traveled through time are either scrambled data or data that has been redirected to fill in gaps.
It's terrifying to think about!
Ah, I've been daydreaming again.
"What if you get stuffed in a sack because of me?" Xie Zhuzhou imagined the scene and found it both tragic and funny. This was the consequence of Chu Yanzhang's poor choice of friends.
"I'll recover in a while, don't worry. Anyway, you don't need to worry about me, just live life the way you like." Chu Yanzhang liked Xie Zhuzhou's attitude towards life; although kind, he wasn't a saint. He would fight back when necessary!
Xie Zhuzhou is upright, kind, gentle, decisive, and strong.
In short, in his mind, Zhuzhou was perfect.
Xie Zhuzhou was deeply moved when he heard Chu Yanzhang also call him "himself". After all, he had personally witnessed so many crazy things he had done, yet Chu Yanzhang still firmly believed it wasn't his fault and didn't offer any suggestions.
It was a false alarm.
That's great, he doesn't have to hide anymore. Even if he hits someone in front of the innocent Chu Yanzhang, there won't be any problems.
Having a friend who always stands by him is not bad.
" Zhuzhou, are you there?"
"I'm here. I just haven't said anything; I've been spacing out." Xie Zhuzhou calculated the time; he would recover in a little over a week, and then Chu Yanzhang would be able to see him again.
Okay, even though we've met so many times, it feels like I'm about to meet someone I met online.
"I heard there's a dance party, do you want to go and have some fun?"
Xie Zhuzhou, with his self-awareness, said, "Forget it, who knows what trouble I might cause if I get into a crowd. But I could go watch other people dance."
Before they could even get there, Xie Zhuzhou saw water flowing down the stairs from both sides of the second floor, creating a chaotic mess. The originally spacious steps had become crowded due to people constantly running down them.
"What's going on?" Xie Zhuzhou was somewhat surprised when he saw this spectacular sight, which resembled a water curtain cave.
Soon, the people in the dance floor area also saw the water and went to stand on the higher edge of the dance floor.
The scene was noisy.
No one seemed annoyed by the disturbance; instead, they acted like onlookers, taking out their phones to record videos. Some laughed so hard they were doubled over, and one girl even took out her phone to take a selfie with the messy background and made a peace sign.
The group of people coming downstairs looked familiar. Xie Zhuzhou took another look and exclaimed in surprise, "These look like the group I used as chess pieces. Did they really have that much bad luck?"
Watching the drenched figures come down from the second floor, some of them made up to look like male ghosts, and others with their hair and makeup applied directly to their scalps, all soaking wet.
Xie Zhuzhou was filled with regret for not having come up with this move! They had really gotten away with it too easily! Luckily, something unexpected happened! Otherwise, he would have been filled with regret hiding under the covers when he got home today.
"They're all soaked, are they alright? Did you hear the noise around you?" Xie Zhuzhou appeared worried, but was actually overjoyed.
"I heard you. Don't be soft on them. Your father and brother are very powerful, so you don't need to worry too much in the future. Do whatever you want, as long as you don't break the law."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." What should I do? All I can think about are very serious things.
Wu Chang: "..." His poor ears had actually endured such immense torment.
The scene was chaotic.
With such a major mistake made, Ji Wuwei, as the main person in charge, cannot shirk his responsibility.
Many guests felt a sense of detached excitement, having not encountered anything so interesting in a long time. Wasn't this even more fun than a formal banquet? After so much ordinariness, a little something new was incredibly enjoyable.
Everyone knows that Ji Wuwei is in charge.
Everyone was somewhat gloating. After all, Xie Zhuzhou didn't even respect his grandfather, let alone a mere uncle. How could he expect peace and quiet after turning the birthday banquet of this powerful and tyrannical man into such a mess?
Sure enough, when they turned their heads, they saw Xie Zhuzhou with a dark face and cold eyes. He had his arms crossed and his gaze fell on his uncle who was not far away.
Ji Wuwei had just run over when he saw the water flowing endlessly, soaking the Leon floorboards to a terrible state, and his heart sank.
He's wasted so much money today, and now he has to pay even more in compensation. He should have known better than to take this job!
Not only did they not gain anything, but they were also being stared at by Xie Zhuzhou with a gloomy face, showing him no respect.
Ji Wuwei's resentment and ruthlessness slowly welled up in his heart. He clearly remembered how he got the scar on his head. More than ten years ago, he had only asked Ji Wangchen to retrieve something from the pool, but Ji Wuqiu grabbed his head and slammed it hard against the edge of the pool, causing him to bleed a lot, which left this scar.
This Xie Zhuzhou in front of him was indeed worthy of being his elder brother's son; he hated him just as much.
The tense atmosphere between the uncle and nephew made everyone around reluctant to go home. They pretended to chat, but secretly listened and glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes.
"Uncle, is this the result of your hard work for me? Or is this what Grandpa wanted to see at my banquet?" Xie Zhuzhou was in a good mood and excited, but his face remained expressionless, though he couldn't quite suppress the corners of his mouth.
Heaven is on my side; it has given him another handle to use against me.
Sometimes, he even felt that it was only a matter of time before he dominated the world. But then again, he seemed more suited to playing the villain than Xie Aotian.
Xie Zhuzhou, whose thoughts were racing, now had a sinister look in his eyes.
But after Li Yankai looked over in shock from the crowd, Xie Zhuzhou thought of all the painful things in the world before he could barely suppress the corners of his mouth.
Of course, the most painful thing for him from childhood to adulthood was going to class and studying.
