Chapter 411 - 411 409 Can't Afford to Lose

411: Chapter 409: Can’t Afford to Lose 411: Chapter 409: Can’t Afford to Lose Everyone was eagerly looking forward.

At the moment the wooden box was opened, everyone was utterly astonished!

Zhou Qianzheng looked as if he’d seen a ghost, his eyeballs almost popping out.

“Fuck!!!

How is this possible!”

Zhou Qianzheng, with a face full of disbelief, rushed over to closely inspect the lingzhi inside the box.

The lingzhi was a deep red with hints of purple… and was massively large.

Ringed layer upon layer, easily over a hundred rings!

This proved that the lingzhi was indeed over a hundred years old!

Boom!

Suddenly, Zhou Qianzheng felt as if struck by lightning; his head buzzed, his eyes darkened, feeling like he was about to faint.

“This can’t be possible… How can such a treasure be in the hands of this poor farmer… It can’t be!”

Zhou Qianzheng muttered ‘It’s impossible’, but the facts were right before his eyes, what else was impossible?

“Hahaha, awesome!

Someone has to start oinking like a pig now!”

Yang Ruoxi eagerly reveled in the misfortune from the side.

Seeing this situation, apart from being quite surprised, Yang Tiancheng couldn’t help but admire Chen Yang a bit more.

At this moment, Chen Yang looked at Zhou Qianzheng with a faint smile, “Fulfill your promise now, the sooner you learn, the sooner we can eat.”

Chen Yang’s voice sounded particularly grating to Zhou Qianzheng.

It made his teeth itch with annoyance.

Although the facts were right before his eyes, he still refused to simply concede.

Instead, he stubbornly retorted Chen Yang, “What promise to fulfill?

This is lingzhi, true, and it’s a hundred years old, also true, but how can you prove it’s wild and not cultivated?”

Zhou Qianzheng was clearly being unreasonable.

The people in the hall frowned unconsciously upon hearing this; playing dirty in front of everyone?

That was rather shameless.

Yang Tiancheng and Li’s father instantly lost all good impressions of Zhou Qianzheng.

But still, considering his father’s reputation, they held back from scolding him.

“Wow, you’re such a cheater.”

As soon as Zhou Qianzheng spoke out, Yang Ruoxi immediately called him out for his shamelessness without any hesitation.

Zhou Qianzheng’s face burned when he heard what Yang Ruoxi said.

But since he already decided to be shameless, he resolved to stick it out to the end, as conceding was out of the question.

Being shameless was better than oinking like a pig.

Zhou Qianzheng didn’t respond to Yang Ruoxi, instead, he turned to Chen Yang with an ugly expression, “You tell me, how can you prove this is a wild Lin Zhi?”

Chen Yang smiled coldly and took a step forward, “I can’t prove that right here and now.”

As soon as Chen Yang admitted he couldn’t prove it, Zhou Qianzheng immediately burst out laughing, “Then there you go?

There’s no winner or loser in this bet, since neither of us can prove it.”

Zhou Qianzheng truly had no shame, playing dirty yet still managing to laugh, completely indifferent to the impression he was leaving on others.

Yang Tiancheng watched Zhou Qianzheng laughing hysterically, his entire face turned dark… With his fiery temper, he really felt like slapping him twice.

But he still held back.

Just when everyone thought this matter would end with Zhou Qianzheng’s shamelessness, Chen Yang sinisterly spoke up.

“Even though I can’t prove this lingzhi is wild, I’d like to ask everyone a question.”

“Have any of you seen cultivated Lin Zhi a hundred years ago?

As far as I know, the technology for cultivating lingzhi only matured over the past decade or so, right?”

“So I say, this lingzhi doesn’t even need proof, its annual rings are the best proof!”

With these words from Chen Yang, Zhou Qianzheng’s laughter abruptly stopped.

“Yes, yes, yes!

Chen Yang is right!

What era was a hundred years ago?

Where would there be cultivation of Lingzhi?”

Yang Ruoxi chimed in excitedly.

Li Han also smiled and added, “Chen Yang is not wrong, the technology for culturing Lingzhi has only matured in the last decade or so.

Moreover, Lingzhi is very fragile; if its growing location is moved, it will die, so there definitely aren’t any possibilities of transplantation.”

With Chen Yang’s words, along with the affirmations from the two women, it was almost certain that Chen Yang had won the bet.

Zhou Qianzheng’s expression looked worse than if he had eaten a dead baby.

“This… this Lingzhi… um…”

He hemmed and hawed for a long time, unable to utter a single rebuttal, not even able to cheat his way out.

“Mr.

Zhou, a real man must do what he says,” Chen Yang pressed forward step by step, his presence bearing down on Zhou Qianzheng!

It wasn’t just Chen Yang; Yang Tiancheng and Li Father’s stern gazes also fell on him.

It made him break out in a cold sweat, unsure of how to resolve the situation!

Actually do what he had claimed?

That would be too embarrassing.

Not do it?

Then he certainly couldn’t stay here any longer!

After thinking it through and weighing the pros and cons, he still chose not to accept losing.

Zhou Qianzheng clenched his teeth and stood up, harshly saying to Chen Yang, “You are ruthless, kid!

Just wait, this isn’t over yet!”

After speaking, Zhou Qianzheng left, his face red with anger.

Another person also left following Zhou Qianzheng.

Watching Zhou Qianzheng storm out, neither Yang Tiancheng nor Li Father seemed inclined to go after him and persuade him, letting Zhou go just like that.

“Haha, good that he left; otherwise, he would just be irritating here,”

Yang Ruoxi said, looping her arm through Chen Yang’s and giving a mischievous smile.

At this moment, Chen Yang chuckled sheepishly and politely turned to Li Father: “Sorry Uncle Li, I made your guest angry and drove him away.”

“Haha, that’s nothing.

I’m not close with Zhou Qianzheng; it was your Uncle Yang who brought him,” Li Father laughed.

Hearing this, Chen Yang turned to Yang Tiancheng.

After the gift-giving incident, Yang Tiancheng’s fondness for Chen Yang had increased significantly.

So now his expression was no longer so serious.

Yang Tiancheng understood Chen Yang’s look and waved his hand, “Let it go, he’s gone now.

I didn’t really want to bring him initially.

Since he bet with you on his own, he can’t blame anyone else.”

After the incident, Yang Tiancheng’s fondness for Chen Yang had increased, while his liking for Zhou Qianzheng decreased significantly.

It wasn’t because of the bet.

But rather from many aspects that reflected issues with his character.

Zhou Qianzheng was yelling and speaking rudely, which was bearable.

But being a sore loser and refusing to accept defeat made Yang Tiancheng lose respect for him.

If Zhou Qianzheng had truly done as he lost, Yang Tiancheng would certainly have spoken up to save him some face.

But because he cheated and didn’t honor his word, Yang Tiancheng had no opportunity to speak.

“Yes!

Thank you, Uncle Yang!”

Chen Yang replied joyfully, quickly expressing his gratitude to Yang Tiancheng.

“Yes.”

Yang Tiancheng nodded approvingly again, with Yang Ruoxi observing the entire scene.

Seeing her father starting to appreciate Chen Yang made Yang Ruoxi truly happy.

“Chen Yang, why don’t you sit down and tell us where this century-old wild Lingzhi came from?”

Yang Ruoxi pulled Chen Yang to sit down and, like a curious child, pestered him with questions.
