The answer Xiaolian gave was somewhat beyond their expectations.
"Second Master Bai, Second Master Bai is eyeing you."
"I know he wants to drag us into the Heroes Association," Lu Jing said, "Oh, it's to deal with Chen Tong."
"No, Mr. Bai wants your paper puppet tricks." Xiao Lian said.
She looked very nervous and glanced around subconsciously before continuing, "Master Bai is not as simple as he seems on the surface. Similar things have actually happened before.
“He has a bold personality and likes to make friends, especially friends in our industry. As long as you have real talents and learning, Mr. Bai will definitely find ways to make friends with you.
"He has a way of making people around him feel that he is sincere and willing to trust him and tell him their secrets. Some people say that this is how he got all his abilities."
"Well...since one is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn, there's nothing wrong with it," Lu Jing said.
Xiaolian nodded, "Of course there's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is... there are still some people who didn't teach Master Bai their skills. As a result, some of them either got seriously ill and were bedridden, or disappeared mysteriously. Or encountered some other terrible accident.
"And after a while, their unique 'stunt skills' were learned by Mr. Bai."
"You mean that the guy named Bai will force others to teach him his special tricks?" Xia Huai said.
Xiaolian nodded first, then shook her head, "There are indeed such rumors, but I have no evidence."
"Have anyone else in the Heroes Club heard this rumor?" Lu Jing asked again.
"Yes."
"Then they still let Mr. Bai be the leader?"
"Because Mr. Bai is very measured. He only picks people with no powerful background to attack, so he won't get into any trouble. Moreover, he never attacks people in the Heroes Association."
Xiaolian explained, "My room is right next to his room. One night I heard the sound of the door opening in the next room. I was curious, so I leaned on the crack in the door and looked outside. As a result... I saw Mr. Bai. He walked quietly to your door, put his ear to it, and listened to the sounds inside.
"I thought of those rumors before and was worried that he would do something to you, so I came here to warn you today."
"But we didn't know each other before, and we didn't have much friendship. Why are you willing to help us instead of being your leader?" Lu Jing looked into Xiaolian's eyes and asked.
The latter stared at his pair of red embroidered shoes and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Because...because I think your tricks are very beautiful and your people are not bad, especially Sister Xia, who is very beautiful. I don't want anything to happen to you." Accident."
"Miss Xiaolian, you are a good person." Xia Huai said.
Xiaolian blushed when she heard this, and was about to say something more, but she didn't expect that there was another knock on the door.
Xiaolian's pretty face suddenly changed color. She looked panicked and glanced left and right, as if she was trying to find a place to hide. Unfortunately, the room was too small and she couldn't find anything that could block her body. place.
Seeing that no one inside the house opened the door, the knocking on the door outside became louder.
Then a voice sounded, "I know you are in there, hum! It's useless to hide if you can't come out."
After saying that, the man waited for a while.
Seeing that Lu Jing and Xia Huai still didn't seem to have any intention of coming out, they continued, "I know you can hear it, so I'll just say it straight. Let's compete again, tonight!"
When Chen Tong said the last half of his sentence, the door in front of him suddenly opened.
Lu Jing walked out from behind the door, and then quickly closed the door.
Chen Tong only took a peek at the scene inside the room and didn't see anything strange. His attention was quickly attracted by Lu Jing in front of him.
"Haven't we already competed before? Why do we need to compete again?" Lu Jing asked.
"Because last time we competed with what you are best at, this time we should also compete with what I am best at. This is only fair." Chen Tong said with a straight face.
He still had a bad temper, but there was no longer any contempt for Lu Jing in his brows.
"No comparison." Lu Jing said.
"Why?" Chen Tong seemed not to expect that Lu Jing would refuse, and asked subconsciously.
"Because it makes no sense."
"How could it be meaningless?"
"The last time I took action was just to prove that you were wrong when you said we were liars. Now that it has been proven, of course I have no reason to take action again."
"But between you and me..."
"Whatever." Lu Jing spat out two words, "It doesn't matter how you arrange it. I don't have any objection if you put me in front of you or behind you."
"This...it's not me who has the final say on this kind of thing. I have to compete." Chen Tong frowned.
He didn't expect that Lu Jing would not follow common sense and had no intention of accepting his challenge.
"I have been studying hard for a long time in the past few days and created a shocking trick that will definitely defeat you!"
When Chen Tong saw Lu Jing turning around and preparing to go back to the house, he actually reached out and grabbed one of his arms and said.
Lu Jing was a little helpless because of the entanglement. He could only say, "Okay, okay, I promise you. We will go to your room to find you tonight."
"If you're not in my room, come to the bow of the boat. We'll each perform a trick based on the river below our feet. I'll also ask people on the boat to bear witness."
Chen Tong didn't hide it and told Lu Jing the theme of tonight's performance.
"Okay." Lu Jing agreed.
He has already boarded the boat and demonstrated his "real skills". So unlike Chen Tong, who wanted to win and regain his position, Lu Jing didn't care about winning or losing tonight's second match.
In fact, he had already planned to put off this competition and just go to the bow of the ship for a formality.
In contrast, it was the things on the other side that he couldn't ignore even more.
But Lu Jing wasn't too worried. With his and Xia Huai's skills, if someone really dared to try to trick them, Lu Jing wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
Chen Tong left with satisfaction after getting the result he wanted.
After a while, seeing no one in the corridor, Xiaolian also sneaked back to her room.
Time soon came to night.
Lu Jing and Xia Huai came to the bow of the ship as agreed, and the place was already full of people.
Chen Tong was still holding his big wooden box, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and concentrating. This time he seemed confident.
Seeing Lu Jing and Xia Huai also arriving.
The crowd shouted, "It's time to start, it's time to start."
Chen Tong opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and he stared straight at Lu Jing, "I will never lose again tonight no matter what."
