Chapter 97

"If I win this time, then for the people of the Northern School, defeating me will be a significant blow to the reputation of the Southern School."

Qin Yu understood what the three people in front of him were up to. If the Northern School people heard that the winner of this GZ exchange meeting was an unknown young man, they would surely be eager to act. By defeating this young man, they could not only gain fame but also severely damage the Southern School.

"You Southern School is no good, so many people and yet you let a young upstart win. Now, seeing that this young upstart is nothing special, he still lost to us from the Northern School."

Such a blow would be much heavier than defeating a well-known feng shui master. Defeating a well-known feng shui master would only highlight their slightly higher expertise in feng shui, but defeating an unknown young man who won the exchange meeting would allow them to mock the Southern School freely.

"Haha, you finally understand. Yes, we want to use you to attract feng shui masters from the Northern School to participate in the next exchange meeting. I believe that as long as the two schools sit down and exchange ideas, the conflicts between them will gradually be resolved."

Lin Qiusheng stroked his beard and laughed. His purpose in pushing Qin Yu forward was precisely for this.

"Isn't this just using me as a target to draw fire?" Qin Yu pursed his lips. Despite his righteous smile, he showed no shame for directing the fire at him.

"Do you really believe I can win this first place? Besides, Xu Cheng is also very young. Why don't you choose him?"

Qin Yu's words made Lin Qiusheng's smile freeze, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, which Qin Yu caught. Qin Yu was puzzled; how could this person, who didn't feel embarrassed about using him to draw fire, suddenly feel embarrassed now?

"Qin Yu, there are three reasons why they chose you. One is because you are young, the second is because you have the ability to win, and the third is..."

Pang Guang's gaze fell on Lin Qiusheng and the old man surnamed Xiao. He laughed and said to Qin Yu, "These two can't let go of their vanity."

"Old Pang, don't act like you don't care." Lin Qiusheng puffed out his beard and glared at Pang Guang.

"What vanity do I have? It's just that you see Qin Yu as a member of the GZ Feng Shui Association. If he wins, next year's exchange meeting will still be held in GZ. If your goal is achieved, next year's exchange meeting will definitely be recorded in the annals of the feng shui world. In the future, when people talk about the development history of the Northern and Southern Schools, they will certainly mention this exchange meeting, and as the organizers, you two will naturally be mentioned."

"Who asked your place to not have a young feng shui master with high expertise like Qin Yu? Otherwise, you would have done the same."

Lin Qiusheng first provoked Pang Guang and then exposed his true intentions. This hit a sore spot for Pang Guang. At their age, they no longer pursued wealth or status; they just wanted to leave a name in the feng shui world. The allure of fame was the most tempting.

Unfortunately, his feng shui association didn't have someone like Qin Yu. He could only watch his two friends set up the plan while he stood by helplessly, which was a bitter experience.

"So, this is what you're planning."

Qin Yu understood, but it seemed he hadn't agreed to go all out for the championship. If he decided not to compete, their plans would fall through.

"Qin Yu, actually, what we are doing is also beneficial to you." Lin Qiusheng seemed to see through Qin Yu's thoughts and explained, "From your performance over the past two days, you also want to compete for the championship. We just want you to shine a bit more, which won't cause you much loss. Moreover, the prize for this championship is not ordinary."

Qin Yu quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Since he was going to compete for the championship anyway, it might as well be a favor to these three important figures in the Southern feng shui world. It's just about shining a bit more, and he could always show his true abilities.

After thinking it through, Qin Yu didn't reply directly but asked, "Oh, what is the prize? Can President Lin reveal it?"

"Haha, I can only tell you that this prize is a relatively special ritual object, and it is definitely a rare item."

"You're not really saying anything. Ritual objects themselves are rare items." Qin Yu thought to himself. This person's lips were tightly sealed, even at this point, he was unwilling to reveal anything. To make a horse run, you have to give it something to imagine, like telling it there's lush grass ahead.

"Qin Yu, just give us a straight answer." The old man surnamed Xiao asked Qin Yu directly.

Qin Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "Seniors, I can only promise to do my best to compete for the championship, but I cannot guarantee success."

"Very good, your words are enough. I have confidence in you." The old man surnamed Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and all three of them smiled...

After bidding farewell to the three elders, Qin Yu left the tea room. He felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"What's off?" After much thought, Qin Yu finally realized it. It seemed he had been set up by the three of them.

From the moment he entered the tea room, Old Xiao scolded him harshly, pointing out his flaws in dealing with the world, telling him that young people should have the spirit of youth, planting the seeds of thought.

Then President Lin talked about the Northern and Southern Schools, asking for his opinion, leading him to believe that the current situation between the two schools was not good. If there was an opportunity to change the status quo, why wouldn't he want to contribute? Finally, they used the prize to tempt him. These three were truly scheming.

Qin Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. They say three cobblers can match Zhuge Liang. He didn't have Zhuge Liang's wisdom, and these three were not three cobblers. Being set up so thoroughly was quite normal.

"Qin Yu, what are you shaking your head for?"

Qin Yu stepped out of the elevator and heard Mo Yongxing's voice. Looking up, he saw a group of people waiting for him on the sofas in the hall, none of them had left.

"Today you won first place all by yourself, and you still look so gloomy. Who are you putting on this act for? I know you want to be low-key, but now there's no one around, so you don't need to pretend anymore."

Mo Yongxing walked over and patted Qin Yu's shoulder. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable if he didn't say something to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu naturally ignored Mo Yongxing's words. This guy was a professional at insulting him. He had figured out that if Mo Yongxing didn't insult him a few times a day, he might not be able to sleep at night.

PS: A new week has started, and I need recommendations. I have some good news to share: my book is on the homepage recommendation...

But it turned out that this was just a dream I had last night. It must be due to deep resentment!
