Si Shuo had never imagined her men were this formidable. She was even more excited than they were, jogging over to greet them, unsure of who to pounce on first.
Xiao Cheng grinned and stepped forward, only to be jostled aside by his Couple Brothers and forced to the back of the line.
Gong You was especially frustrated, gritting his teeth as he complained to Si Shuo, "Kiddo, this fox has no honor! We were all trying for a good rank, but he shouldn't have gone for such a flashy top-three finish, right?"
"He hogged all the glory! If I hadn't been holding back, I could have taken first place myself. Just as you'd expect from a fox—so full of schemes."
Si Shuo smiled and hugged his waist. "Don't be angry, Gong You. You're the ones who taught him, aren't you? There's no saying a master should starve just because he taught his apprentice everything he knows."
"If he wants to be the target, then let him. His actions will come back to bite him eventually. He's in for a lot of trouble."
