However, his words did not have the slightest deterrent effect, and those watching the fun laughed even more unscrupulously.
"Haha, is this kid crazy because he has lost his mind?"
"You must be crazy to say such arrogant words, haha."
"Hey, isn't this the Lin Xiaodong who defeated Qian Sen?"
"Oh, no wonder he is so arrogant. Doesn't he know that Qian Sen has broken through to the stage of divine integration?"
"Haha, I must not know what the Divine Harmony Period is."
"What's the point of competing? Just kick this fool out."
"..." Hearing everyone's ridicule, Li Tian turned around and shouted angrily at Lin Xiaodong: "Can you stop bragging here?
Don’t you think we’ve embarrassed you enough?”
It was enough for those outsiders to laugh at him. Lin Xiaodong never expected that Li Tian would say this. You must know that now they are a whole body, one is prosperous and the other is devastated.
Even if there were conflicts in the college before, it should be kept open to the outside world at this time. How can you say such words that flatter others and destroy your own prestige?
Lin Xiaodong looked at Li Tiandao with a disappointed look.
"I originally thought you could understand the general situation no matter how bad you are, but I didn't expect you to be such a person. It's so disappointing! If you can't even look down on yourself, who can look down on you?
Who can respect you anymore?"
Li Tian was unmoved by Lin Xiaodong's words and sneered.
"It's not that I look down on myself, but I look down on you! Don't think that you are invincible just because you can beat me. It's not like you don't know the strength of those children from big families. Do you think you can win?
Let me give you a piece of advice: people must be self-aware, learn to assess the situation, and must not be self-righteous!"
Lin Xiaodong was about to speak, but Dean Bi interrupted sharply.
"That's enough! Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?
Are you starting to fight among yourself before the game even starts?"
Li Tian snorted coldly and turned away and stopped talking. Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to shut up. He originally wanted to tell Li Tian that he had broken through the realm and had a very high chance of winning the game, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
Thinking of how many people from Chenguang Academy came and didn't even prepare chairs, but were laughed at by a servant, and even caused internal strife, the dean's beard stood up in anger.
The dean snorted, stood up, and said angrily: "Is this how the famous Chen family treats their guests?
You guys are just going too far!"
The head of the Chen family, who had been watching the excitement from a distance, knew that it was impossible not to come forward at this time, so he walked out laughing.
"Haha, it turns out to be the dean of Chenguang College. How disrespectful."
Then he deliberately said angrily to the man with a straight face: "Butler, how did you arrange the seats? How could you leave the distinguished guests of Chenguang College without a place to sit?"
The man patted his forehead in an extremely exaggerated manner, and said in a strange voice: "Oh, don't blame me, Master, because I have grown old and forgot to arrange seats for the distinguished guests of Chenguang College. I will arrange it right away!"
"Hmph! You are becoming more and more outrageous as a housekeeper. After this incident is over, I will punish you severely!"
After saying that, the head of the Chen family said to the dean: "Please wait a moment, the chairs will be here soon, hahaha."
Then he ignored the dean and everyone, laughed and left.
Anyone who is not blind can see that this is the Chen family head and the housekeeper singing a double act. Lin Xiaodong and others were so angry that their faces turned red, but they could only endure it. They have already reprimanded the housekeeper. What can you do?
Fortunately, the Chen family did not continue to embarrass a few people. After all, it is not the way to treat guests without arranging seats when guests arrive. The Chen family still wants to save face.
After a while, six old and worn-out chairs were brought over and placed in a small corner. The butler led Lin Xiaodong and everyone to sit down.
Although Lin Xiaodong and others were angry, they still endured it. Making a fuss over such a trivial matter would give them a reason to make a fuss out of a molehill.
After a few people sat down, no one paid attention to them, while those from big families were served tea and snacks. The difference in treatment was so huge that it could be described as a world of difference.
No matter how aggrieved Lin Xiaodong and the others were, they could only remain silent. They couldn't ask for food or drink on their own, as that would be even worse.
Not long after, everyone who was supposed to be there arrived, and it was almost time. The head of the Chen family came to the stage to speak.
"My Chen family is hosting this competition this year. We are all old acquaintances. If there is any inconvenience in reception, please forgive me."
Speaking of this, the head of the Chen family stopped specifically and glanced in the direction of Lin Xiaodong.
Except for the Chenguang Academy group, everyone present was with him. How could they not understand what the head of the Chen family meant, and everyone burst out laughing.
"The reception is naturally very considerate. The tea is delicious and the snacks are delicious, haha~" "The head of the Chen family is so polite. If anyone dares to say something bad, I won't tear him up!"
"Haha, that makes sense. It's pretty good for some people to give you a seat. I admire the righteousness of the head of the Chen family!"
"Haha, I admire you!"
"..." Hearing everyone's teasing, Lin Xiaodong was filled with anger. He slapped the armrest of the chair and tried to stand up, but was held down by the dean.
"Just bear with it for now!"
Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to sit down.
When he calmed down, he realized that even if he made a fuss, nothing would come of it. It would only make them more laughing stock. It would be better to slap them in the face during the game.
The head of the Chen family waited until everyone had had enough teasing, then raised his hand and pressed it to signal everyone to be quiet. He waited until everyone in the room stopped talking before continuing.
"We are all old acquaintances with these rules of the competition, and we all know them very well, but this year, guests from Chenguang Academy have joined us, so I have to nag them again.
All participants must first draw lots, and each player will have his or her own number. Then the player holding an odd number will draw again, and the one drawn will be his opponent.
The two fight against each other, the winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated.
Then those who advance will be drawn again, and then the opponents will continue to be drawn with odd numbers, and then they will fight, and the winner will advance.
This cycle goes back and forth until the winner is determined and the game is over. Do you have any questions?"
Everyone looked at Lin Xiaodong and the others. The dean nodded and said, "Understood."
"Okay! Then let's invite all the contestants to draw lots!"
Lin Xiaodong and the other five people got up and went to draw lots.
Even in the drawing of lots, they were ranked last, and it was their turn after everyone had drawn.
Lin Xiaodong drew number 8.
"Now please draw the odd-numbered player to draw your opponent!"
Because it was an even number, Lin Xiaodong could only watch the people who drew odd numbers draw numbers.
Just on the stage, Lin Xiaodong saw an acquaintance, it was Qian Sen. He drew a number and shouted loudly.
