As soon as Bu Zhanfeng said it was useless, Huo Yuanxiu laughed angrily at Bu Zhanfeng.
"Indeed, you, Mr. Bu Zhan Fengbu, are famous for not being able to do things early if things go wrong. If there is no benefit, how could you do it?"
Huo Yuanxiu heard the understanding given by Xia Chiwan. Although he vaguely believed it, he was not willing to think Bu Zhanfeng was so miserable.
Because of this, even if they knew the reason, Huo Yuanxiu and Song Yunjie just kept their distance from Bu Zhanfeng instead of breaking off their friendship.
"What good are you doing? Do you want me to tell you?"
Huo Yuanxiu's night-like eyes were filled with dark clouds, as if the night sky had been splashed with ink, making it very depressing.
"What, what's the benefit, Yuan Xiu, please calm down. Don't fall into other people's tricks. Talking about these unfounded things will only ruin your reputation."
It is undeniable that Bu Zhanfeng felt guilty. Huo Yuanxiu's father's leg broke and Song Yunjie's mother's illness lingered. It was indeed his arrangement.
As for the benefits, Bu Zhanfeng certainly knows.
But Bu Zhanfeng still had some illusions, hoping that Huo Yuanxiu didn't know so clearly.
Bu Zhanfeng gritted his teeth and spoke first just in case:
"You don't think that I am jealous of your and Yunjie's talents, so I deliberately embarrass your relatives."
"Isn't it?"
As soon as Bu Zhanfeng said these words, to Huo Yuanxiu, it was definitely "there is no three hundred taels of silver here".
Bu Zhanfeng thought that if he said such words, Huo Yuanxiu would be embarrassed to respond. However, the trouble has reached this stage, what else should Huo Yuanxiu be embarrassed about.
"How could it be possible? Don't forget, I got honors in both the literary and martial arts exams. Do I need to be jealous of you?"
Bu Zhanfeng retorted, saying that to be honest, Huo Yuanxiu was partial to martial arts and Song Yunjie was partial to literature. He was the only one who was versatile in both civil and military affairs.
"But, if it weren't for Yun Jie and I, you would have been the number one scholar in both civil and martial arts two years ago. But now that Yun Jie and I are here, you can only occupy the second place."
Huo Yuanxiu unceremoniously poked Bu Zhanfeng where it hurt the most.
"Yes, you are indeed good at both civil and military skills. It's a pity that you can't defeat Yun Jie in civil arts and you can't defeat me in martial arts. If the three of us faced off against each other, you would lose to Yun Jie in civil and martial arts and lose to me in martial arts. In this case, you dare to say that you didn't do those things
?”
With so many things to do, how could Bu Zhanfeng not be beneficial?
As long as he and Yun Jie had not appeared that year, Bu Zhanfeng would have won the first prize in civil and military affairs. Among all the talented people in Kyoto City, who could be more popular than him?
On the contrary, it was precisely because of the appearance of him and Yun Jie.
Even though Bu Zhanfeng had outstanding performance on both lists, the limelight was stolen by him and Yun Jie.
"As an official in the court, Yun Jie is young and already a young minister of Dali Temple. His future is limitless. It's me. You know how I compare to you. Come to think of it, you still blame us.
If it hadn't been for our appearance that day, Yunjie and I's position would have belonged to you now, right?"
After learning the truth, Huo Yuanxiu passed by the meeting to observe Bu Zhanfeng.
Sure enough, when he was in Kyoto City, Bu Zhanfeng's eyes would flash when he mentioned Song Yunjie, who was now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Bu Zhanfeng's eyes still flashed when he mentioned General Yun's advice and care for him in the military camp.
This all shows that Bu Zhanfeng does have other thoughts towards them, unlike them who treat him sincerely.
