Lu Ruobei was in a bad mood.

Yesterday, Mr. Lin invited him to come to the house and told him clearly that the Lin family would no longer embarrass the Lu family and their cooperation would end here.

No matter how Lu Ruobei tried to persuade him, Mr. Lin refused.

After returning from the Lin Mansion, Lu Ruo sadly locked himself in the room without saying a word. He didn't know what Mr. Lin was doing, but he wanted to let the Lu family go in such a good situation to make his wishful thinking come true.

Failed.

Do you just want to let go?

No!

Lu Ruobei is not someone who gives up easily. The shame of being kicked out of the Lu family cannot be forgotten. There is only one way to wash away the shame, and that is to become the head of the Lu family and make everyone in the Lu family look up to him.

In order to realize this idea, Lu Ruobei would pay any price.

Soon, Lu Ruobei made up his mind: even without the help of the Lin family, he would do this on his own.

…

When he came out of Lu Ruoliang's room, Lu Wuji was a little confused.

He did not expect that just one marriage selection in the Lin family would change his life again.

Lu Ruoliang's words seemed to ring in his ears again: "Wujia, just go ahead and do it. Although you can't win against the Lin family, you can't let them underestimate the Lu family!"

When he spoke, Lu Ruoliang's tone was comforting, and his eyes showed unbearability and sympathy. It seemed that Lu Wuji had lost to the Lin family.

Lu Wuji cursed Master Lin bitterly in his heart: Is this guy's brain flooded? If he insists on comparing dice, abacus and cockfighting with himself, what does the future of the Lu family have to do with me?

After walking a few steps out of the main room, Lu Wuji saw Lu Wushang standing in front of the hanging flower door of the third courtyard.

"Second brother, why are you here!" Lu Wuji did not dare to neglect and quickly saluted Lu Wushang.

"Fourth brother, I'm here specifically to wait for you!" Lu Wushang's tone contained an indescribable flavor.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

Lu Wushang patted Lu Wuji's shoulder solemnly: "Fourth brother, I know this is a very troublesome matter, and defeat is certain. I just hope you stand up straight and don't lie down!"

After saying that, Lu Wushang nodded heavily to him, turned around and left.

Looking at Lu Wushang's leaving figure, Lu Wuji felt extremely depressed.

Back in the house, Mrs. Xu hurriedly greeted her.

Lu Ruoliang specially called her son to talk about something. This was the first time, so of course she was worried.

After hearing Lu Wuji's words, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed expression: "What do I care about? Master Lin can propose a competition with you, which is considered as a favor to you. If we can't win, won't we lose?"

After Lu Wuji heard this, he was completely speechless.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" There was a knock on the door.

Mrs. Xu opened the door and saw Lu Wuxia.

"Aunt Xu, I'm looking for nonsense!"

"Miss, please come in quickly!" Mrs. Xu quickly let Lu Wuxia into the room.

"Wuji, thank you for what happened last time!" Lu Wuxia stared at Lu Wuji and said.

"My sister is lucky, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Of course Lu Wuji couldn't admit that this matter had anything to do with him.

"You know even if you don't tell me, you must have helped me in this matter!" Lu Wuxia said with a worried look on his face: "I just want to advise you, don't take the competition too seriously. If you lose, you will lose. If you want, you will lose."

It’s not worth it if you crush your body!”

"Who said I would definitely lose?" Lu Wuji couldn't help but said loudly.

Lu Wuxia was stunned.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she hurriedly reprimanded: "It's ridiculous, why are you talking to the lady? Why don't you apologize to the lady quickly!"

"Aunt Xu, it doesn't matter, Wu Xi may be in a bad mood!" Lu Wuxia gave Xu a comforting look.

Lu Wuxia came to comfort himself, but he was angry at her, which was really not his fault. Lu Wuji came back to his senses and looked at Lu Wuxia apologetically: "Sister, I'm in a bad mood, I shouldn't be angry at you! I'm sorry.

!”

After saying that, Lu Wuji said to Mrs. Xu: "Auntie, I'm going out to relax and I'll be back in a while!"

Watching Lu Wuji's back disappear outside the door, Lu Wuxia and Xu looked at each other speechless.

Lu Wuji was indeed in a bad mood.

Isn't it just a competition with the Lin family? Originally, Lu Wuji didn't take it seriously. But everyone seemed to believe that they would lose, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Wuji found Lu Yuxiao and said bluntly: "Third uncle, let's go to Youzhou City!"

"It's ridiculous, the first day of June is still early!" Lu Yuxiao said with a smile, "The Lin family proposed a competition and gave you a great reason. You can go out and play openly during this period. Why are you so anxious?"

"Play, play, play with your skills!" Lu Wuji stared at Lu Yuxiao and said in a bad tone, "Do you also think that I will definitely lose to the Lin family?"

"Do you still want to win?" Lu Yuxiao's eyes widened.

Lu Wuji was furious.

It was fine for others to think so. Lu Yuxiao, who was inseparable every day, also believed that Lu Wuji was destined to lose, and Lu Wuji's competitive spirit was completely aroused.

He secretly made up his mind: no matter what, he would try to win over the Lin family and let these people see that he was not as bad as they thought.

Lu Wuji ignored Lu Yuxiao and turned away.

Lu Yuxiao was puzzled. He didn't know how Lu Wuji could be so angry, so he quickly shouted: "Wuji, wait for me!"

…

Mu Qianren followed Chang Baotou, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he said uneasily: "You said Mr. Lin invited the two of us to stay at his house. Why is that?"

"How did I know?" Chang nodded and said calmly, "What are you afraid of? I'm here!"

When he said this, Chang Bangtou also felt strange in his heart. Mr. Lin rarely invited himself to his house, and this was the first time he asked Mu Qianren to go with him by name.

"With your words, I feel relieved!" There was no relieved expression on Mu Ganren's face.

In the Lin Mansion's living room, Mr. Lin stared at Chang Bou's head and said, "I want to borrow your henhouse, what do you think?"

"Borrow it to the henkeeper?"

Chang glanced at Mu Ganren and thought to himself: Could it be that Mr. Lin has fallen in love with Mu Ganren?

He asked tentatively: "What kind of borrowing method?"

Mr. Lin smiled slightly: "I made an appointment with someone for a cockfight on the first day of June. I know the skills of the cockfighter, and I want to lend him to fight for me. After the game, he will return to your place. As for the reward?

Just one thousand taels of silver!"

"Is it that simple?" Chang Tou didn't seem to believe it.

"Do you think it's complicated?" Mr. Lin asked.

After pondering for a moment, Chang turned his head to look at Mu Qianren: "What do you think?"

"I heard that Chang was your boss!" Mu Qianren said respectfully.

After Chang Duotou and Mu Qianren left, Lu Xiaoxian slowly walked out from behind the screen, hands behind his back.

Mr. Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lu, to be honest, I don't care about Zhu'er as much as you do about Lu Wuji! I'm really convinced by you!"

"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Lu Xiaoxian said lightly, "A person's biggest enemy is often not others, but himself. God will not favor a person without reason. Only those who have experienced it countless times Only through failure and suffering can we truly gain a foothold in this world!"

Mr. Lin opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Back then, his master seemed to have tempered him in this way. Without those hardships and hardships back then, he would not be where he is today.

After coming out of Lin Mansion, Mu Qianren and Chang Tuotou came to their residence.

Chang sat with his head in front of the stone table in the courtyard, frowning and asked: "What do you think Mr. Lin is going to do?"

Mu Ganren smiled: "Didn't Mr. Lin say that he wants me to help him fight cocks?"

"A cockfight deserves him to be so cautious? It's not that simple!" Chang shook his head, "You don't understand him, I can feel it, there must be something wrong here!"

While they were talking, Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao entered the courtyard.

"Chang Boss, you are here too! Just in time, I have something to discuss with you and Brother Mu!" Lu Wuji looked expectant, sat down on the stone bench next to him, and explained his purpose of coming.

After listening to Lu Wuji's words, Chang suddenly stood up with his head raised: "Wuji, I'm sorry, I have an emergency and I have to leave now. You and Xiao Mu can discuss it slowly!"

Looking at Chang's back as if he was running away, Lu Wuji asked curiously: "What's wrong with him?"

Mu Ganren smiled bitterly, of course he knew why Chang Tou ran away.

"Brother Mu, you must help me with this cockfighting matter!" Lu Xiaoxian stared at Mu Ganren with a smile.

Mu Ganren had a look of embarrassment on his face and hesitantly said: "That's nonsense. It's not that I don't help you, it's that I can't help you."

"Why?" Lu Wuji asked strangely.

Since he couldn't hide it, Mu Qianren gritted his teeth and told the story of his trip to the Lin Mansion just now.

"I didn't know that Mr. Lin asked you to compete in cockfighting. You must know that I would never agree to it! Not only can I not help you now, but we are also rivals in the cockfighting ring. Don't blame me!" At this point, Mu said Qian Ren looked apologetic and said, "Chang Baotou was too embarrassed to face you, so I left with an excuse!"

Lu Yuxiao said angrily: "This Mr. Lin must have known that Brother Mu had a good relationship with Wuji, so he came up with such an evil idea of ​​poaching!"

Lu Wuji was speechless.

His thoughts had long been seen through by Master Lin, so when Master Lin notified the Lu family of the competition, he had already taken the lead and recruited Mu Ganren to the Lin family, completely cutting off Lu Wuji's thoughts.

In the past, Lu Wuji would have cursed loudly, but now he was extremely calm. He knew very well that scolding would not solve the problem.

Now that Mu Qianren has gone to help Mr. Lin, the chances of winning the cockfight are not great, so he can only think of ways to throw dice.

Seeing Lu Wuji's silence, Mu Qianren thought he was dissatisfied with him and was about to explain again when he saw Father Xu entering the yard.

As soon as he saw Lu Wuji, Father Xu asked directly: "My dear friend, I heard that you are going to have a cockfight with Mr. Lin. Is this true?"

Mu Ganren replied for Lu Wuji: "Of course it's true. Mr. Lin just asked me to come over and ask me to help him train chickens to deal with Wuji. I can't help Wuji, and I have to become his opponent. I I feel uncomfortable inside, and I don’t know how to explain it to him!”
