Even the arrogant Chen Hanqing could not withstand this series of blows, and had to bow to reality, letting out the wail of a defeated dog.
"Chen's skills are not as good as others, and he was defeated... I am convinced. There is no need to wait for Xiao Bi. From now on, I will not pester you again, and... Miss Wen Xiaochuan."
After Chen Hanqing said that, his chest felt painful again, especially the name at the end. After possessing the first-class secret cauldron, he was once so close to the figure that haunted him, as if he could reach out and touch it.
However, this was just a big dream after all, and he was still alone when he woke up.
All the previous ambitions and youthful ambitions were wiped out with this move, as well as the endless lushness. Now Chen Hanqing just felt discouraged.
He no longer thinks about how to become famous and how to trample on those who looked down on him before. He just wants to go home and eat a bowl of wontons made by his mother, and then help his father repair the hoe.
With this weapon in storage, it seems like a good thing to release Manan Mountain.
But before he turned around and took painful steps, Lu Jing stopped him again, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by no longer entangled?"
"Even if I take the initiative to admit defeat and never appear in front of you again, if we meet in the academy from now on, I will avoid you in advance if I see you from a distance. If I can't avoid it...if I can't avoid it, I will try to stay as far away from you as possible. "
Chen Hanqing gritted his teeth, "And don't worry, although I, Chen, am not from a famous family, I am still a man of integrity. From today on, I promise not to say a word to Wen Xiaochuan again. No, I will tell her in person right now." , there is no possibility between us.
"But I can't guarantee that she will fall in love with you after I leave. If you really like her, you might as well give her some time to... forget about this useless man like me."
"Well, I think you're overthinking it," Lu Jing said, "Apart from Wen Xiaochuan, if you don't meet me, how can you help me collect ginseng in the future?"
"You want me to collect ginseng for you?" This time it was Chen Hanqing's turn to be stunned.
"Yes, otherwise I can't collect it myself." Lu Jing finally found Chen Hanqing, the perfect laborer, and naturally he didn't want to let it go. He paused and said, "Besides, aren't you also short of money? ? Let’s consider each of us getting what we need.”
"I have hands and feet, so I can still find other ways to make money."
Although Chen Hanqing had already admitted defeat personally, Chen Hanqing still had a grudge in his heart about getting along with Lu Jing, the love rival who defeated him, especially when he had to work for the latter.
The reason why he was willing to come to the fields to pull ginseng before was not just for money, but more because after listening to Wen Xiaochuan's analysis, he decided to come to Lu Jing to find out the truth and prepare for the next competition.
Now that he has recognized the gap and admitted defeat in advance, Xiao Bi naturally has nothing to prepare. As for Lu Jing's method of growing ginseng, he has learned it, but he has not fully learned it.
Anyway, Chen Hanqing no longer has sweet dreams in this regard. In this case, he naturally has no reason to stay.
"Do you have any other ways to make money in the academy, or do you want to make money outside?" Lu Jing asked again.
Chen Hanqing has now entered the second-rate realm. It is not difficult for a master of his level to make money.
The easiest way is to find a gang and work as a worshipper there. Even if it is just in name, you can get a lot of money every month.
But there is no free lunch in the world. Since you are taking money from others, of course you have to deal with others to eliminate disasters.
People may use your name in whatever they do on a daily basis. This is easy to understand. It is like a naming fee. If the gang encounters a strong enemy, of course, as a worshipper, you cannot just sit idly by.
At that time, it will be highlighted that a person can't help himself in the arena. This is why some arena masters or heroes would rather live a harder life than join any powerful sect to make easy money.
Although Chen Hanqing did not come from a top sect like Yan Yun and Little Monk Zhaoming, he was also a disciple of a famous sect. Looking at his words and deeds, although he was a bit pedantic and sometimes felt inexplicably good about himself, he could still be called a top sect. It is to keep oneself clean.
Lu Jing actually didn't quite believe that Chen Hanqing would make this money. As for other ways to make money, such as arresting murderers or demons on the wanted list.
The money came in pretty quickly, but unless they happened to hit him like Lu Jing, the pursuit alone would take months or even years, otherwise those guys wouldn't be on the list for that long.
Chen Hanqing is still learning secret skills, so he definitely can't spend so much time on this kind of thing. As for the academy, there are even fewer opportunities to make money, so after all, Lu Jing's life here is hard. It’s a bit harder, but it’s the fastest way to get the money and the least follow-up trouble.
Chen Hanqing himself knew this, but the problem was that he still couldn't get over that hurdle.
He admitted that Lu Jing was powerful and he couldn't mess with him, so he might as well just stay away.
If he makes less money, he will make less money. Anyway, without Wen Xiaochuan, he doesn't have to attend those parties and compete with those young heroes and geniuses, and his expenses are much smaller.
This is the silent protest of the weak, Chen Hanqing thought to himself, but then Lu Jing reminded him, "We still have a bet."
Chen Hanqing's expression changed when he heard this.
He was first shocked by Lu Jing's shocking methods, and then he took care of himself and Wen Xiaochuan. The two people who were obviously in love ended up being destined to be together, and they actually forgot about the bet.
At that time, he was so excited that he didn't hesitate to place a big bet when he signed the challenge. Now, he gave in early and lost the bet as well.
Chen Hanqing felt like a bolt from the blue, and the astronomical amount of debt he owed. He didn't feel anything when he made the bet, but when he thought about it now, it made him feel like the world was spinning and his throat was rolling, "I..."
Lu Jing waved his hand to tell Chen Hanqing not to panic. The latter didn't know that Wen Xiaochuan had agreed to be his concubine, otherwise he might have died on the spot without spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When Lu Jing looked at this unlucky kid, he felt a little pitiful about him. Moreover, Lu Jing's financial situation had improved now. At least he no longer had to worry about debts. He couldn't bear to bully him anymore, so he told him.
"I'm not a devil. I know that the previous fight was just a temporary favor for you, so I think it's better to just forget about the bet..."
"Da Xia Lu is so righteous!" Chen Hanqing couldn't care less about losing face at this moment, and said gratefully, "The rumors in the world are indeed true. Lu Da, you are the most generous gentleman I have ever met."
He originally just wanted to compliment Lu Jing, but in the end he came from the bottom of his heart.
This actually made the person involved feel a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Well... the bet can be voided, but I am really short of manpower here, not just now, but also in the future."
Chen Hanqing also knew that Lu Jing had taken good care of him, otherwise he could directly threaten him with the bet. He couldn't say no, so he no longer hesitated, cupped his fists and said, "Chen is not talented, I would like to I will do my best to serve Daxia Lu, and I won’t take any cents from it.”
"That's not necessary, just pay the previous price." Lu Jing shook his head and said, "Both of us will suffer. If you do well, I can also share with you some pills to help you restore your secret power."
