Chapter four hundred and sixty-two trivial matters
Everyone could hear the provocation and malicious ridicule in the words, but the people present were not disgusted. Except for Master Wu who sneered, the rest just smiled and shook their heads, disapproving.
Everyone's eyes fell on Sun Xu, wanting to see what kind of reaction he would make. The most important thing was to see his jokes, which would alleviate the unwillingness but powerlessness that filled the scene.
"He will definitely shirk it!"
"It's not a shame to admit that you are not good. After all, so many strong people are helpless!"
"That's right, how can he, a young boy like him, solve this drought problem?"
"That's a joke. So many of us can't do it unless he is a god!"
Everyone's words were undisguised, and they were all unfavorable about Sun Xu. It wasn't that they didn't even think they were optimistic about the issue, but they looked down on him.
You can tell just by looking at his identity. He is either a monk from a major sect, a master who has been famous for a long time, or a professor from a prestigious university. But Sun Xu is nothing, and I don't know where he comes from.
Not many people even know his name, and no one wants to know it.
It is unrealistic for a person like this to flaunt his seniority and expect other people besides the staff to give him face.
People were mocking and waiting for what kind of reasons and answers Sun Xu would give, but they saw that Sun Xu had closed his eyes, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Just pretend, keep pretending, it depends on how long you can pretend.
"After some thinking, it is also a good idea to admit that I have tried my best and can't do anything about it. This guy is a smart man!"
"It's just a matter of finding a way out for yourself!"
"What do you think of me, don't you have some mental strength?"
Sun Xu turned a deaf ear to the remarks of this group of people. He still closed his eyes and his brain was spinning rapidly. He already had some ideas in his mind, but what he considered was to completely solve the problem, not just to make it rain.
He can't be like other people who show their strength and then surrender in the hope of drought. He is here to conquer the drought. Because the area is a bit large, the difficulty will be correspondingly greater, but that's all.
"Master Huang, do you think this guy is just being mysterious, or does he really have a lot of tricks up his sleeve?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Master Huang, who was dressed in black robes, could no longer feel tired on the surface. He smoothed his beard, with an incomprehensible smile on his face. He glanced at Sun Xu and shook his head gently.
"When I was in my teens or 20s, I was still studying with my master. I didn't have any great abilities. Judging from the young people today, there are not many who are better than me!"
Although there is no direct criticism, the words are very clear. Can he do what I couldn't do when I was young?
"That's natural. This kid is definitely not as good as Master Huang!" The speaker flattered and looked at the handsome Master Wu, a master who killed without blinking an eye and whose hands were covered with blood.
"What do you think, Master Wu?"
Master Wu had been staring at Sun Xu, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything. When he heard someone asking, he couldn't help but think about it seriously, and then continued: "I don't know if he can solve the drought, but I can definitely get something out of it, but I can’t say anything else!”
As soon as the words fell, the people around him were surprised, especially Master Haoyang who faced Sun Xu's ugly appearance and said with disdain: "Master Wu won't believe that this kid really caused heavy rain, right?"
"What's impossible?" Master Wu didn't have a good impression of this person and pushed him back.
Master Haoyang changed the subject and directly pressed Master Wu: "Since you have confidence in this little brat, how about we make a bet?"
"How to bet?" Master Wu is also a veteran in the world. Naturally, he will not be easily fooled. If this old boy comes up with an impossible task, he will definitely lose.
After thinking for a moment, Master Haoyang stood up: "Simple, as long as this guy can make it rain for five minutes, then you win, otherwise I win!"
Glancing at Sun Xu, Master Wu once again recalled the feeling he had in the car before, gritted his teeth, and his eyes became firm: "Where's the bet?"
"There is a Yin Yang Ganoderma grass here in Pindao. Does Master Wu have a corresponding treasure?" As Master Haoyang spoke, he opened the backpack he carried with him. As expected, there was a one-foot-tall glass bottle inside, which contained a half-black and half-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum grass.
I guess it didn’t take long to find the Ganoderma lucidum grass.
This is a rare treasure. If it is sent to the Danqing Sect, it may be favored by the ancient alchemy master. He may personally take out two high-grade elixirs and help people enter the Nascent Soul from the golden elixir stage.
When they saw this Ganoderma lucidum plant, even several Nascent Soul masters couldn't help but glance at it, feeling a little excited.
"Master, why don't you give me a price and sell this Ganoderma lucidum plant to me? You won't suffer any loss!" Someone had already said directly.
"If you want to sell it, please tell Pindao. Pindao is also willing to give you a satisfactory price!"
Seeing that the topic was about to go astray, Master Haoyang suddenly raised his voice: "I won't sell it. If I hadn't seen this treasure, I could bring another one to Pindao. Pindao wouldn't have taken it out at all. Master Wu
Do you think so?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison. It was obvious that Master Wu was already in a difficult situation. If he surrendered in time, he would lose face. If he agreed, he would definitely lose a treasure.
"Master Haoyang seems to be very confident!" Master Wu suddenly said something. Just when everyone thought he was going to refuse, the conversation suddenly changed: "I will accept your bet!"
While he was talking, he had already taken out a small box from his backpack. It was only one foot long, made of bronze, edged with red sandalwood, and carved by skilled craftsmen.
It's just a box that has attracted people's attention. If it were put up for auction, it would definitely fetch a good price. What's inside?
The box was opened, and a small sword of about twenty centimeters appeared in front of people. The sword body and hilt were densely engraved with mysterious symbols and formations. At first glance, it was not ordinary.
He raised his hand gently, and the small sword automatically floated in the air, and flicked on it. Everyone present felt like they were being locked with a sword.
"I use this magic sword inherited from my master to deal with it. What do you think?"
Master Haoyang glanced at the magic sword greedily, and couldn't help laughing: "Since Master Wu is so generous, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse. I also ask you to be witnesses!"
Everyone agreed with their hands, and their eyes fell on Sun Xu. At some point, they opened their eyes and smiled at the performance of this group of people.
"Young man, do you have any good ideas?" Vice Premier Xiu glanced at Sun Xu and couldn't help but sigh. Such a young man had to fall into such a thing.
Sun Xu smiled lightly and looked at the clean sky: "It's a trivial matter!" (To be continued)
