"Although you two did a great job, you didn't solve the problem using feng shui. This competition is about feng shui, not exorcising ghosts. So, I think the first place in this competition should go to the other group."
When the person in charge who was responsible for the final judgment said this, Niannian was a bit stunned.
She didn't care about many things, but when it came to feng shui and the Book of Changes, she had to be the first.
The prize for the first place was exactly what she needed most.
It was clearly the organizer's fault for not investigating thoroughly. They had solved the problem perfectly, but now they had to give up the reward to others?
The task assigned to the other group was obviously much easier than theirs.
They had gone to an apartment building.
That apartment building had attracted evil spirits all year round, always luring all kinds of strange things. But the building itself had no problems, and no one had died there.
So, they suspected it was a feng shui problem and asked those two to solve it.
It was just a feng shui trap that attracted evil spirits. Niannian thought that if she had gone, she could have solved it quickly.
Whether it was in terms of difficulty or danger, their trip to Nanshan was clearly more outstanding.
"I can't accept this result."
Niannian pouted, feeling very aggrieved.
Little Tuanzi had such a personality, especially when it came to Taoism.
If the other party was really capable, she would even be willing to give them some more things as a reward.
But the fact was that the content of the competition was already uneven, and now they were using the excuse of a flawed location selection to deprive them of the first place. That was just not right.
"The locations were all determined by drawing lots. It can only be said that you were unlucky. But this competition is about feng shui. There are no feng shui problems in Nanshan. So, when you were participating in the competition, you had already deviated from the theme of the competition, right?"
The person in charge frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Niannian's objection.
"Deviating from the theme was not our intention. Before we really went to Nanshan, no one knew what the situation was inside. We can't just be declared losers because of this. That's too unfair!"
When Niannian said the word "unfair", the person in charge clearly frowned.
"Yeah, this is so unfair! I remember that the Hu family was in charge of the location selection this time. You wouldn't have deliberately given the easier tasks to your own descendants and randomly assigned the more difficult ones to these two kids, determined to win the first place. But now that these two kids are more skilled, you're starting to cheat, are you?"
There was also a person who loved to stir up trouble. A woman in her forties or fifties covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
The mockery in her fake smile made the person in charge blush.
"Nonsense! The lot - drawing was done in front of everyone. Although the locations were selected by our Hu family, we presented them to everyone for a unified opinion. Only after everyone agreed was the final result determined. If something went wrong, it can only be said that things didn't go as planned. How can you blame it on our Hu family?"
The person in charge's two moustaches trembled with anger. In this room, except for Niannian and Shen Weixun, everyone seemed to have some grudges.
Once someone started, others would follow.
Niannian, who was originally the person involved, became an outsider.
People around were talking back and forth, insinuating. The overly lively scene was so noisy that it gave people a headache.
Niannian pouted and shifted her gaze to the other group of participants.
It was these two who were competing with them for the first place. But from beginning to end, these two didn't say a word or express their attitude.
They held their heads high, as if they were sure to win.
Niannian was just young, not really stupid. Even if someone was very confident in a normal competition, they would still feel a bit nervous before the result was announced.
But judging from the attitude of these two, it seemed as if they were certain to get the first place.
If there was no secret deal in the middle, only a fool would believe it.
Niannian put her hands on her hips, feeling aggrieved. She thought for a while in her mind, and finally took her short legs and walked up to the two of them.
Looking up at the young boy and girl who were about the same age as her second brother, she said, "Brother and sister, I'm not convinced. So, I want to have a fair competition with you. Just focus on the feng shui formations. You set up your most powerful feng shui formation, and I'll break it. Then I'll set up my best feng shui formation, and you break it. It's very fair for us two - on - two."
The two of them looked down at Niannian, who was not even up to their waists. They were stunned at first.
They seemed to have never expected that this child would have such courage.
Then they let out a sneer.
The man showed a look of disdain and said, "You say we should compete, and we'll compete? Why should we?"
"Are you scared?"
Niannian stared back fearlessly. Everyone from the Taoist sect should prove themselves with strength.
She had the strength, so she dared to compete.
If this big brother didn't answer her question properly, he was a coward.
"Scared?!"
The young boy, who was not yet twenty years old, wasn't very calm. A simple goading was enough to make him take the bait.
The boy raised his eyebrows, looking at the little girl with disdain.
The person in charge, who was arguing with others on the side, noticed the commotion here and heard their conversation. His eyebrows twitched, and he was about to stop them, but the boy spoke first: "I'm not scared at all. Let's compete then."
Others didn't know the true value of Niannian and Shen Weixun's trip to Nanshan.
But as the person in charge of the location selection and Xiao Ming, who had actually participated, knew very well.
Many warlocks had gone to that place to solve the problem, but they couldn't. It wasn't that they couldn't find the source at all.
It was just that once they found the source, they didn't dare to touch it because it was too ferocious.
It was really troublesome. Whoever got this task would have a headache, and they might even lose their lives.
The coffin placed in the mourning hall was filled with overwhelming resentment, which could make an entire mountain barren. It showed how powerful it was.
These two kids had solved the problem easily, came back unscathed, and even brought back the injured Meng Xiaoming.
The person in charge had to use a very far - fetched excuse to give the first place to his own people.
After all, the prize for the first place was really precious.
They didn't want it to fall into the hands of outsiders.
But now, his own kid had agreed to a rematch out of anger.
In front of everyone, how could he cheat?
Shen Weixun had been watching the show on the side the whole time. Actually, he didn't care whether they could get the first place or not.
If they really couldn't argue it out in the end, Niannian would only be angry, not sad.
At the same time, she could see the true faces of these people and not have too high hopes for the people in this circle, which would make her more mature.
For Shen Weixun, it was actually a good thing.
But if they could have a rematch and openly slap these people in the face, Shen Weixun was also willing to put in the effort.
He would stand up for his junior sister.
