Chapter 47: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 47: Playing Dirty
Seeing that Kuang Wei and the others had no response, Xu Tian's expression changed instantly, and he shouted, "Are you trying to play dirty?"
"Playing dirty?" Kuang Wei sneered, "It's clearly you who are playing dirty. Who knows if the rabbits in your hands were bought from someone else?"
"Nonsense!"
Xu Tian didn't expect Kuang Wei and the others to not only refuse to admit defeat but also spout nonsense, making him tremble with anger.
"You lost, and now you're trying to find excuses. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to play dirty!"
"We just want fairness." Kuang Wei clearly knew that Xu Tian was not good at arguing, so he deliberately distorted the truth, "Everyone knows about your bad reputation in hunting, but today, you miraculously caught so many prey. It's obviously not normal."
"That's right, clearly, you guys are cheating!"
"Exactly, this competition is invalid!"
Other bailiffs also didn't want to admit defeat and started playing dirty.
"You..."
Xu Tian trembled with anger but didn't know how to refute. Chen Xue sighed and stepped forward, "Leave it to me."
Seeing Chen Xue stepping forward, Kuang Wei and the others still sneered, not caring at all.
Chen Xue looked at them coldly, "I only have one question for you: do you not want to admit defeat and just want to play dirty?"
"What do you mean by not wanting to admit defeat and just wanting to play dirty?"
"We just want fairness. As long as you can prove that these prey were caught by you, we'll admit defeat."
"You... Shameless!"
Xu Tian's face turned iron-blue with anger. How could they prove that they caught the prey themselves? Even if they explained the hunting process, Kuang Wei could just say he didn't believe it. Moreover, Chen Xue's hunting process was too fantastical. He was afraid that if he explained it, Kuang Wei and the others would believe it even less.
So, except for the prey admitting it themselves, it was difficult to prove. But letting the prey speak for themselves was as unlikely as a sow climbing a tree!
"Is that so? You want evidence? Then come with me!"
With that, Chen Xue turned and walked to her servants. The servants protected Chen Xue, and Kuang Wei and the others followed subconsciously, full of confusion.
With her servants protecting her, Chen Xue turned to Kuang Wei and the others and gave them a mysterious smile, sending shivers down their spines.
Snap!
Chen Xue snapped her fingers, and suddenly there was a voice around them—it was Kuang Wei's voice.
"I am most afraid of... Captain..."
"You..."
Kuang Wei collapsed to the ground, his face full of horror, unable to speak. How did she know the deepest secret in his heart? Why, why does she know?
No, he couldn't expose it. If he did, he would die.
Thinking of this, he rushed towards Chen Xue as if he were crazy, but his subordinate quickly stopped him.
Chen Xue stood not far away, looking at Kuang Wei with cold eyes. "Do you think if I snap my fingers again, everyone in the exiled team will know your secret?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand lightly.
"Don't, don't be impulsive!"
Kuang Wei panicked. If everyone knew, the Captain would definitely kill him. He wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
He couldn't understand why his voice just now appeared, and how his secret could be exposed, but he knew he couldn't let Chen Xue continue.
However, Chen Xue ignored him, her eyes as cold as if she were looking at ants, making him shudder.
He shouted desperately, "I surrender, I surrender!"
Compared to his life, reputation didn't matter at all. If he lost his life, what use was reputation?
However, the thought of killing also emerged in his mind. After he calmed her down, he would find an opportunity to kill her and silence her.
"Oh?" Chen Xue raised an eyebrow. "Are you thinking of placating me first, then finding an opportunity to kill me?"
Kuang Wei's face changed instantly. Damn, does she have mind-reading abilities? How does she know what I'm thinking?
"But..." Chen Xue suddenly changed her tone, "As long as I want, your secret will appear in someone's ear in the next second. Do you want to try?"
Kuang Wei's face changed drastically. He hurriedly said, "No need, I won't try, I surrender, really surrender. I swear, I won't make a move against you. Is that enough?"
He was about to cry. He had never felt so humiliated before, but he couldn't do anything about Chen Xue.
Mostly because her methods were too strange. He couldn't figure out how his voice just now appeared, and he didn't dare to gamble.
After all, if he lost the bet, he would lose his life.
"But, it seems like the rest of your group doesn't want to admit defeat?" Chen Xue shrugged. "Leave it to me."
"I'll handle it!" Kuang Wei gritted his teeth. "I'll figure something out."
"Good!" Chen Xue said seriously, "Here's the deal: as long as you admit defeat, apologize to us in front of everyone, and compensate us for our losses, this matter will end here."
"You don't have to run three laps around the exiled team shouting 'I am a pig', and I won't reveal your secret. Of course, if you want to play dirty, don't blame me for being ruthless..."
"No, no, absolutely not." Kuang Wei vigorously shook his head, indicating that he absolutely wouldn't. At least until he figured out what Chen Xue's method was, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"What's going on?"
From afar, Kuang Wei's companions watched as Kuang Wei knelt on the ground after talking to Chen Xue for a few moments. Then, he seemed to be begging for mercy. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Kuang Wei was doing.
Could he really be begging for mercy? Trying to move her with this, so she won't make them shout "I am a pig" in front of everyone?
If it really worked, sacrificing Kuang Wei's knees wouldn't be a big deal.
While the others were chatting, they saw Kuang Wei getting up from the ground, dusting himself off, and seemingly gathering his emotions before walking back.
"How is it? What did she say? Is our bet cancelled?"
Kuang Wei's expression was complicated, and he sighed internally, but his face didn't show any emotion. "It's considered cancelled!"
Then, he explained Chen Xue's request. Compared to the previous bet, it could be said that Chen Xue was truly merciful.
However, these people still didn't want to agree. Setting aside apologizing in front of everyone, just this matter alone made them unhappy.
They were bailiffs after all. Even though Chen's family used to be high-ranking officials, they were now prisoners and had even lower status than them.
How could they apologize to them? How was that possible?
Not to mention compensating them for their losses. What losses did they have?
"It's impossible. I absolutely won't agree." A short bailiff raised his head defiantly and said firmly.
Kuang Wei sighed and said in a low voice, "She told me to tell you, 'thatched cottage'!"
The short man heard this, plopped to the ground, his legs giving way, his face full of fear, as if he had seen a ghost.
The others didn't know what significance 'thatched cottage' had, but he knew very well. He had accidentally killed someone before and buried his money near a thatched cottage.
So, every day he had to walk around the thatched cottage a dozen times to make sure his money was safe before he could sleep peacefully.
But how did Kuang Wei know?
No, wait, Kuang Wei said he was delivering a message, which means how did Chen Xue know?
His head was full of confusion and bewilderment. Seeing Kuang Wei's mouth open, he became excited.
"Stop, stop, I agree, I agree!"
