Chai Yan stood in the corridor on the second floor and watched, frowning involuntarily.
At the same time, Chang Bingkun and Xie Yuanran also walked out of the room, and both saw the scene happening downstairs.
Xie Yuanran asked curiously: "Huh? How come they are so competitive in just a short while?"
Chang Bingkun didn't speak, just watched quietly.
At this time, the arm wrestling situation suddenly changed. Just now, the two were evenly matched, but now Cheng Jiu's power gained the upper hand and suppressed half of Zhao Xiong's hand.
Seeing that if he exerted more force, the back of Zhao Xiong's hand would be leaning on the table, which was a loss.
"Work harder, fourth brother! It's almost there, work harder!" Guan Maochun clenched his fist hard, his voice even more excited.
But he was the only one in the audience cheering for Cheng Jiu, and the rest of the people were cheering for Zhao Xiong.
The noise was so loud that it attracted everyone in the inn to the lobby. Of course, because more people joined in, the cheers for Zhao Xiong became even louder.
Cheng Jiu closed his lips tightly and frowned. At this time, he was holding back a lot of energy, and there was no place where he was not exerting force. The veins on his forehead gradually became obvious.
Cheng Jiu had only one idea at the moment, which was to suppress Zhao Xiong's arm with all his strength and win the battle. However, Zhao Xiong was very tenacious. Seeing that the back of his hand was only two inches away from the table, he was stunned that he was not beaten by Cheng Jiu.
Completely overwhelmed, he has not given up his efforts.
Zhao Wu stood beside Zhao Xiong, seeing his brother's disadvantage increasing little by little, he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Brother, hold on, hold on!"
The next moment, Cheng Jiu suddenly burst out with force, and with a "boom", he knocked Zhao Xiong's hand down on the table.
Zhao Xiong's face suddenly froze, Zhao Wu was also stunned, and the entire hall fell silent instantly.
"Yeah!" Only Guan Maochun raised his hands and cheered: "We win, fourth brother wins!"
As Guan Maochun's voice sounded, some of the onlookers in the hall shook their heads with regret, and some turned around and dispersed. The lively scene suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that the winner was decided, Chang Bingkun turned to look at Chai Yan, with a little surprise in his eyes: "Master Chai, this subordinate of yours is amazing. He actually defeated Zhao Xiong easily. It's amazing."
, Awesome! It seems that everyone is right, there are many capable masters in the Wude Department!"
"Master Chang, please don't say that. My subordinates are just too strong," Chai Yan said.
If it were other people who didn't like him, Chai Yan would definitely say something like "Cheng Jiu is not from Wu Desi, he is just his nurse", but Chang Bingkun was different. Such pretentious words would
Forget it.
Downstairs, Cheng Jiu stood up, clasped his fists towards Zhao Xiong, and said politely: "I accept it, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xiong also stood up immediately, clasped his fists and replied: "Brother Cheng is superior in skill, I admire you."
Zhao Wu beside him was very unconvinced, his chest kept rising and falling, but he still controlled himself and kept silent.
Guan Maochun saw Zhao Wu's appearance and asked with a victor's attitude: "What, are you not convinced?"
These words finally made Zhao Wu unable to control himself, and he immediately said loudly: "Yes, I am just not convinced!"
Zhao Wudao: "My brother just fought a match and spent a lot of energy, but your fourth brother is full of energy. If he wins like this, it's strange that I would be convinced!"
How could Guan Maochun show weakness and retorted loudly: "According to what you said, my fourth brother is still injured. Have we said half a word?"
Immediately afterwards, Guan Maochun said again: "Besides, why did you do it before? If you want to say it, you should have said it earlier. Now that you have lost, you are making excuses. This is obviously because you can't afford to lose!"
"Who do you think can't afford to lose?" Zhao Wu immediately became angry.
Seeing that something was wrong, Cheng Jiu hurriedly advised: "Lao Wu, don't make trouble!"
Zhao Xiong also grabbed Zhao Wu and said seriously: "If you lose, you lose. Saying those things again will only make people look down on you!"
"Well said!"
Suddenly, a young and loud voice appeared.
Everyone turned around and saw that Chai Yan was walking over, with Chang Bingkun and Xie Yuanran following behind him.
"Sir." Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun immediately said respectfully.
"Master Chai." Zhao Xiong also said.
Zhao Wu was filled with anger and did not make a sound.
Chang Bingkun, who was walking behind, felt that there were too many people watching, so he said, "Let's all disperse. There is nothing to see."
Xie Yuanran also kept waving his hands to everyone, indicating that they should stop gathering here.
Soon, the hall was empty.
Chai Yan said to Zhao Xiong: "Your brother is right. You spent a lot of energy with those people on the street. Cheng Jiu defeated you like this, which is indeed a bit overwhelming!"
Zhao Wu nodded as soon as he heard this, feeling that Chai Yan still understood.
Guan Maochun was unconvinced and wanted to speak, but Chai Yan glared back at him. Cheng Jiu also pulled him and signaled him not to talk too much.
Zhao Xiong cupped his fists and said: "Master Chai, I did spend some energy before, but on the way back, I almost recovered. Therefore, Brother Cheng does not win without force, and a defeat is a defeat."
Chai Yan said, "How can this be called a defeat? It's just a fight, it's just fun at most, it can't be called a defeat. Right, Cheng Jiu?"
With that said, Chai Yan looked at Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu nodded immediately and answered: "Yes! Your Excellency is right, this is not defeat, it is just a joy."
Zhao Xiong stopped talking.
Then, Chai Yan turned around and said: "Master Chang, Master Xie, it's time for us to go back. See you tomorrow morning!"
After that, Chai Yan took Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun out.
"Master Chai, walk slowly!" Chang Bingkun said politely.
After Chai Yan and the others left the inn door, Chang Bingkun asked Zhao Xiong: "How is it? Did you meet your opponent?"
Zhao Xiong nodded, and then looked out the door, thinking that he would find a chance to have a good fight with this man.
Chang Bingkun understood what Zhao Xiong was thinking, but he was not in the mood to talk about it at the moment. Instead, he said seriously: "You two will notify us immediately. Everyone should rest early and set off for Lintai Mountain early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Xiong and Zhao Wu responded in unison.
On the other side, Chai Yan and three others were walking on the street.
"What's going on with you two? Why do you want to compete with others?" Chai Yan asked with a sullen face.
Guan Maochun said immediately: "Sir, it's none of our business. It was Zhao Xiong who proposed it first. We agreed because we didn't want to be looked down upon."
Chai Yan was a little surprised: "Zhao Xiong brought it up first?"
Cheng Jiu nodded and said calmly: "Sir, after you went upstairs just now, I saw that Zhao Xiong was quite good at fighting, so I wanted to chat with him for a few words, but who knew that the atmosphere was not right while we were chatting. The two of them
My brother felt that I was trying to provoke them, so he took the initiative to challenge me in an arm wrestling match. I agreed without even thinking about it."
Chai Yan shook his head speechlessly and said, "You martial arts practitioners love to compete with each other all day long. Are you interested?"
Guan Maochun glanced at Cheng Jiu and secretly replied in his heart: It's so exciting! It's so exciting!
"Be careful. Don't do this next time. You must have a good relationship with them. Chang Shilang and the others are friendly forces, not enemies!" Chai Yan warned.
"I understand, sir." Cheng Jiu responded.
After walking a few steps, Chai Yan suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Hey? Cheng Jiu, if you really had a fight with him, do you think you could win?"
Guan Maochun took advantage of the opportunity and shouted: "Sir, we can definitely win, my fourth brother is so powerful!"
"Don't call me, I didn't ask you!" Chai Yan immediately rolled his eyes, and Guan Maochun immediately withered.
Cheng Jiu frowned and thought carefully for a while, and replied with a very serious expression: "Sir, although the man named Zhao Xiong is good at martial arts, when it comes to actual combat, I am still more confident!"
"Well, that's good." Seeing Cheng Jiu's confidence, Chai Yan immediately showed a satisfied smile.
After finishing the gossip, Chai Yan changed the topic, informed the two of them of his decision to set off for Lintai Mountain tomorrow morning, and told them to make sure to arrange their carriages and horses and set off on time tomorrow morning.
