While Hu Xiaobei was thinking about this, Ling Shangshu, who was observing the orchid, let out a soft "huh."
The sound wasn’t loud, but it somehow reached everyone’s ears in an instant...
Especially Zhujun, who was closest to Ling Shangshu.
After hearing this noise, he quickly turned his head to look at his master...
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Zhujun hurriedly asked, "Master, what’s wrong? Is there... is there a problem?"
As he asked, he was really nervous...
Because he was worried there might be a problem...
Ling Shangshu heard Zhujun’s inquiry but did not respond, his face expressionless as he continued to look at the orchid.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this orchid?"
Thinking this, Zhujun quickly turned his head to look at it.
In that instant, he was dumbstruck.
Because looking at it, he saw the orchid’s green leaves beginning to wither at a visible rate.
A few seconds later, the orchid was covered with dead leaves, crisscrossed by withered branches.
"How... how is this possible?"
As he spoke in shock, Zhujun quickly walked up to the orchid and started examining the rapidly withering plant very carefully.
Soon, he realized that the orchid was indeed dead, completely dead.
While Zhujun was examining it, Haruno Nanako and Haruno Rei laughed!
They knew that the current problem with the orchid must be Hu Xiaobei’s doing...
"Xiaobei is really amazing!"
Muttering this, Haruno Nanako looked towards Hu Xiaobei and saw him standing there indifferently, his face calm...
At this moment, Hu Xiaobei was indifferent because he had everything under control...
Previously, Hu Xiaobei could have revived the orchid, but he didn’t. Instead, he had injected Nine Wood True Qi into the roots of the orchid...
This Nine Wood True Qi temporarily revived it, but now that the Nine Wood True Qi was exhausted, the orchid naturally died again...
...
"I’ve been tricked! I’ve been totally tricked!"
Realizing this, Zhujun looked up angrily at Haruno Rei and Haruno Nanako.
After looking at them, Zhujun suddenly glared fiercely at the young man standing next to Haruno Nanako.
Before, Zhujun hadn’t paid much attention to this young man.
But now, he felt that the root cause of everything was likely this man.
Being stared at coldly by Zhujun, Hu Xiaobei spoke lightly, "What’s the matter? Staring at me like that, do I owe you money?"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s casual retort, Zhujun instantly became annoyed...
Taking a deep breath, Zhujun was about to say something!
But just as he opened his mouth, his lackey spoke first.
"Damn! My brother giving you a look is an honor for you, don’t be ungrateful."
Hearing this cold remark, Hu Xiaobei glanced at him...
The next moment, Hu Xiaobei was about to step forward and slap him twice.
But just as he took a step, he heard Zhujun’s master speak coldly first.
This meant that the orchid turning out this way wasn’t because of them...
Thinking this, Zhujun was about to say something more when suddenly, his face turned extremely ugly...
Because at that moment, Zhujun saw his master pulling the orchid directly out of its pot...
As it was pulled out from the soil, the messily attached roots that Zhujun had previously faked were exposed to everyone.
Ling Shangshu saw the tangled and rotten roots, and soon, he coldly said, "Zhujun, do you now have a reasonable explanation for this!"
Ling Shangshu was annoyed!
In his view, Zhujun was clearly trying to trick him with a worthless plant.
Hearing such an utterly icy question, Zhujun just collapsed onto the ground...
"It’s all over, everything’s completely finished."
Muttering this, he looked at his master, trembling as he spoke, "Master! Listen to me, I didn’t mean to fool you earlier."
Saying this, Zhujun trembled and detailed everything that had happened...
This included how he had previously used this orchid to deceive Haruno Rei and others.
He knew he had to explain everything clearly now; otherwise, it would really be incurably bad...
"So this trash has finally spilled everything!"
From afar, Haruno Nanako heard him speaking and sneered...
At this moment, Haruno Nanako really wanted to come over and slap this piece of trash a few times...
As Haruno Nanako was eager to act, Ling Shangshu approached Zhujun with an expressionless face.
Quickly, Ling Shangshu raised his hand and slapped Zhujun across the face...
