Face is never as important as life.

It's a very simple truth, but in this world, there are always people who take their lives for the sake of face, and they don't feel stupid because they give themselves a high-sounding excuse.

I'm for dignity! Shouldn't I risk my life to defend my dignity?

In this world, of course, including the world where Mo Liang used to be, there are always people who equate face with dignity, they feel that as long as someone hits themselves in the face or humiliates themselves, then they have trampled on their dignity, and they should retaliate again, because they can get their dignity back if they retaliate.

But in fact, you are just trying to get back the face you have lost, and the so-called defense of your dignity is just a banner you play for the sake of a good reputation, but a fig leaf to cover up your strong vindictiveness, in fact, it is just a lie you tell in order to deceive yourself when you are running for fame.

Mo Liang knew very well that there were definitely not a few people who had this kind of thought, and most of them were young people.

In fact, young people and teenagers love face more than the vast majority of adults, they have too little life experience at this time, and they can't do it like water, what they have is just a passion and a brute force that does not admit defeat and only knows how to rush forward indiscriminately, they don't know how to think about the seriousness of things, and they don't know what kind of results they will face after they finish things.

So of course, when you encounter things like being slapped in the face and humiliated, the empty thing of "face" becomes something bigger than the sky.

Bang!

On the martial arts arena, as more and more people gathered, a loud voice suddenly came out from a stone platform in the martial arts arena, and everyone looked up to see a middle-aged man in a white robe standing above.

The Chinese New Year's Eve looks like he is in his thirties, with a flat head, his eyes are very sharp, although he is not very tall, and he is only seven feet away, but he stands there as steady as Mount Tai, and he has a calmness that belongs to the superior.

It's Zhou Junhe!

"This time, the small competition is divided into four rings, first by drawing lots to determine the ring, and then each ring will fight separately, and finally lock the four rings. ”

Then the four rings of the champion make the final fight to determine the first place in this small competition. ”

"Please come to the draw immediately if you want to participate in this small competition. ”

Zhou Junhe's majestic voice sounded and spread throughout the martial arts arena.

As his words fell, all the people of the Zhou family applauded, and walked a few steps out, clearing the passage for those who wanted to participate in the small competition, but they did not retreat to the surrounding circular stone steps, although there was a real audience, but it was undoubtedly more clear to watch directly on the martial arts arena, and for a while, the surroundings of several high platforms that would be used as the arena were surrounded by water.

After listening to Zhou Junhe's words, Mo Liang immediately understood why Xiaobi was only the first this time.

The people who want to participate in the small competition go directly to the lottery and then allocate the ring, and the lottery is equivalent to registration, that is, the number of people assigned to the four rings is uncertain, which is relatively unfair, so in the end there is only one first place.

Of course, Mo Liang also knew that these elders of the Zhou family could not prepare to sign up in advance, and then make this small competition much fairer on the surface, but if that was done, the grandeur of the big competition half a month later, which could greatly improve the atmosphere of family cohesion, would be weakened, which was not what the upper echelons of the family wanted to see.

However, this time it is also very important to compete for the position of the champion, although the upper echelons of the family did not say it, but it is impossible to really get nothing if they try their best to win the position of the champion, right?

The position of the champion is definitely related to the evaluation of the half-moon competition!

Moreover, because there are four rings, there are four rings, and there are still differences in the number of people in each ring, in this case, some people who have been retreating for a long time have also come back to join in the fun because of luck, so the enthusiasm for this fight will definitely be very high.

After thinking about it, Mo Liang had already walked to the center of the martial arts arena, where a large black wooden box was placed, which should be used to draw lots, and in front of the big wooden box, there was a long queue of Mo Liang and other people who were going to participate in the small competition.

Mo Liang walked forward in line, while looking at the number of people around him, and suddenly found that the number of people participating in the small competition was indeed a lot, Mo Liang counted it down, and found that there were more than thirty of them!

That is to say, in addition to thirteen geniuses with good qualifications and three with excellent qualifications, there are more than a dozen people with ordinary qualifications who dare to participate in this small competition.

Sure enough, this is the effect of luck psychology.

Mo's conscience was perceptive to everything that was happening in front of him.

After counting the number of people participating in the small competition, Mo Liang began to look at the group of elders sitting on the stone platform on the martial arts arena.

The martial arts arena is very large, there are six stone platforms, four of which have been used as the arena that Xiaobi needs, and the remaining two are the places where the elders of the Zhou family watched Xiaobi.

Two stone platforms, one of them, sat only seven people, five old people, and two middle-aged men.

The four old men are the four elders of the Zhou family, and the remaining old man is the five elders of the Zhou family, Zhou Le.

This is an old woman with a loving smile on her face, which makes people feel very kind.

The remaining two middle-aged men are: the seventh elder - Zhou Yi, and the eighth elder - Zhou Shuiwen.

And the people sitting on the other stone platform were all ordinary patriarchs in the family, and there were a lot of them, and Mo Liang probably observed them, and there were about forty of them.

If you want to become the patriarch of the Zhou family, you must have the strength of the seal, that is to say, these forty or so old guys who are not good-looking, sit on the stone platform without saying a word, have an average status in the family, and have almost no right to speak are actually more than forty masters with the strength of the seal.

Mo Liang thought of the more than 2,000 people who were distributed in the four major economic blocks of the Zhou family, and for a while, he deeply realized how powerful the Zhou family was.

After a while, it was already Mo Liang's draw, Mo Liang put his hand in the big wooden box, with intuition, grabbed a lot, took it out, Mo Liang looked at it, and wrote a one on the sign, which was obviously the No. 1 ring.

At this time, standing beside Mo Liang, Zhou Junhe smiled at Mo Liang, and then pointed to a stone platform on the left of the east and said, "That is the No. 1 field." ”

After receiving Zhou Junhe's guidance, Mo Liang did not hesitate much, and went directly to the No. 1 ring.

At this time, the open and secret battle between Zhou Huning and Zhou Qiyuan, who was sitting on the stone platform, had just begun.

"Two elders, I wonder if this trip to denounce the Yuan family was successful?"

Zhou Qiyuan had a kind smile on his face that made people feel very comfortable, and looked at Zhou Huning Dao, who was sitting beside him.

Zhou Huning's face was thin, his eyes were deep-set, and he looked a little cold, he leaned back on the seat, holding a teacup, his expression was indifferent, and when he heard Zhou Qiyuan's words, he only replied with one word.

"Nope. ”

Zhou Huning was actually suppressed by Zhou Ze with lightning speed after accepting this errand, and in just half a day, the power in his hands shrank significantly, and it was almost the same as Zhou Qiyuan.

When Zhou Qiyuan heard this, he was not embarrassed, his eyes looked at the martial arts arena, and he smiled lightly: "I don't know where your son is now? Although this small competition is not very important, but the big competition will be very important in the near future, can that kid from Zhouzha come back in time?"

Zhou Huning was still expressionless, but in his heart he scolded his mother, Zhou Qiyuan's dog mouth, which pot is not opened, knowing that Zhou Zha had completely lost contact with himself and even his family seven days ago, and he still had to say it at this time, isn't this sprinkling salt on the wound?

Thinking of this, Zhou Huning couldn't help but worry about Zhou Zha's safety again, even if he was scheming, he was as scheming as he was irritable for a while, and immediately said coldly.

"The elder better take a good look at Xiaobi, you don't need to worry about Zha'er's affairs, but the noble son, the old man looks at him as young and promising, you say, if something happens one day, this?"

Listening to Zhou Huning's gloomy threatening words, Zhou Qiyuan's face slowly turned cold, and he looked at Zhou Huning with a smile and said: "The two elders are really good at laughing, although the strength of my Zhou family is not on the table in this Nanling, but in this Guyuan Town, it is also the overlord who is invincible, if anyone dares to move my Chen'er in the boundary of Guyuan Town, my Zhou family will definitely crush his bones and scatter ashes." ”

The other elders around them, seeing the two of them fighting each other, also remained silent, the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, who of the people here except Zhou Huning and Zhou Qiyuan didn't want to be the fisherman?

"Is it? The elder also thinks very highly of himself, and he actually does things on behalf of my Zhou family, is there still a dispute with the head of the family in the future, how should the controversy develop?"

Zhou Huning sneered, and in just a moment's effort, the two of them had gradually become tense with each other.

The expressions of the elders around him are different, either pensive or pretending to sleep, or watching Xiaobi's progress from a distance, or indifferent silence, but in fact, they are happy in their hearts.

Quarrel, quarrel, fight, and wait until both sides lose.

That's what most people are saying.

"Hehe, although the old man is stupid by nature, he is also the elder of the Zhou family, which means that there should be no problem with the Zhou family, right?

Zhou Qiyuan obviously did not disappoint most of the elders present, as soon as Zhou Huning finished speaking, he immediately showed a tough side, the sound of the three words "two elders" was very heavy, it was obvious that this was to match the tough rhythm of the two elders.

"Of course there is no problem, but the elder should pay attention, there are many crazy people now, sometimes, those who have nothing to love, you just let him commit suicide He doesn't have the slightest complaint, Zhouchen Gongzi is still young, I don't know how terrible those people in this world are, you have to protect him well, if you accidentally give it to a madman one day...... Am I right?"

Zhou Huning's face was full of cold smiles, and when he looked at Zhou Qiyuan, he saw that Zhou Qiyuan had a chill down his spine.
