Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 220 The Zhang Family

The monkey plucked a hair and transformed it into the Monkey King, who then greeted the Zhang family and asked them what they were up to.

It turns out that the Zhang family came specifically for tomorrow's competition.

They were determined to obtain the position of City God of Azhou in Baoxiang Kingdom, and had already gathered intelligence, made connections, and arranged everything.

The lottery process for the martial arts test was naturally taken into account, with every effort made to help the young master, known as "Prince Zhang," avoid strong opponents.

Not only were the famous figures like Red Boy and Huineng known, but even the little-known Prince Consort of the Dragon Clan of Ten Thousand Saints knew of his great supernatural powers, so they specially "communicated" with him in advance to make him change his college application.

However, people are not as good as heaven.

Before Chen Xiaoke unleashed the Taiwei Tianlong move, they thought it was just a weakling; and her opponent, Xie Baozhu, although somewhat strong, was still far inferior to its older brother.

Regardless of who wins or loses, Prince Zhang is certain to win the next round.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoke was actually playing dumb, easily defeating Xie Baozhu, who had maxed out his tank attributes, in one move, completely undermining their confidence.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Prince Zhang would not fail the martial arts test too early, they made a quick decision and went to talk to Tang Xuanci.

The goal, of course, is to get Chen Xiaoke to throw the game tomorrow, so that Prince Zhang can win easily.

The Zhang family's lobbyists skillfully used language to subtly convey two points:
First, Chen Xiaoke has absolutely no chance of becoming the City God of Baoxiang, no matter how high her martial arts test score is;
Secondly, as long as she throws the competition, the Zhang family will not only prepare generous "local specialties," but also secretly help Tang Xuanci compete for the position of City God in Wuji Kingdom, for example, by revealing the true questions of the essay competition to him in advance.

Having said that, the Zhang family's persuader, with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, continued:

"I think you all arrived today, and I'm afraid there are no rooms left in Xiyue Immortal Town."

"It's inconvenient to stay in the accommodations prepared for the examinees in the Immortal Mansion. Fortunately, our clan elders have booked the best restaurant in Immortal Town, 'Golden Seat,' and prepared their most famous 'Burning Tail Banquet.'"

"We cordially invite you all to join us. After the banquet, we will arrange four superior rooms for you to stay in."

To be honest, although they were caught off guard by Chen Xiaoke's sudden appearance, their preparations for coming here were still thorough.

Knowing that Tang Xuanci was a lecherous monk, and his newly emerged second disciple was an even more lustful fiend, they specially brought along two beautiful courtesans—

The cup weighs 0.9 kilograms and belongs to a young female disciple dressed in a very flamboyant manner.

Each cup weighs 1.5 kilograms and is made by a mature vixen dressed even more flamboyantly.

In his glances, he should not be too obvious in his seduction of the Monkey King and Pigsy.

As the saying goes:
"Big-headed son, small-headed father. The son has a big head but little strength, while the father has a small head but great strength, so... the son can't win against the father."

If this were applied to Zhu Ritian, it would practically be called "Pigton's First Law".

However, this time, he defied this rule. Not only was he unmoved by the two women's offerings, but after listening to the Zhang family's persuader, he instead put on a stern face and sneered:
"That Zhang guy is despicable and shameless. They all only know how to play dirty tricks behind people's backs and climb to the top by using underhanded methods."

"He doesn't even dare to compete with a mere greenhorn girl, yet he has the nerve to be the City God?"
"I don't care if you're surnamed Zhang or Wang, that filthy prince is doomed to lose tomorrow. Even if your ancestor descended to earth himself, he couldn't save him. I'm telling you."

Ah this! ?
The Zhang family members' expressions changed upon hearing this.

They were unaware of the unspeakable affair between Marshal Tianpeng and their ancestor, and when they arrived, they thought that Marshal Tianpeng would be the most approachable among the bandits.

After all, he had been such a high-ranking official, and he was greedy and lecherous, so he knew a bit about human relationships and was aware of his own limitations.

But to everyone's surprise, this guy was no less than his master and senior brother, daring to say such things, he was just short of directly revealing Zhang Bairen's immortal identity card!

Just as the Zhang family was stunned, they heard the Monkey King speak:

“Wuneng, what utter nonsense are you spouting?”

"Cultivating immortality is not about fighting and killing, but about understanding human relationships and worldly affairs!"

"Since they've extended such a sincere invitation, let's go over and have a chat. After all, having more friends means having more options."

Uh... Pig Sun naturally knew that Tang Xuanci had the monkey say those words, and thought that it really wanted to cooperate with its enemy, so it was very unhappy and immediately opened its mouth to ask for something.

The monkey covered his mouth, pretended to persuade him, pulled him aside, and winked at him.

The Zhang family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Tang Xuanci's words, though rough, were reasonable and that he seemed to have already figured out the pros and cons.

Then, Tang Xuanci called back Zhu Ritian, who was unwilling to attend the banquet, and had Wukong play two roles. He then brought along Chen Xiaoke, whose charm was difficult for others to imitate, and they went to the Immortal Town for the banquet with the Zhang family.

The wilderness fell silent, leaving only Tang Xuanci and Zhu Ritian.

"What are you up to now, monk?"

Zhu Ritian sat down next to Tang Xuanci, lit a cigarette, and asked in confusion:

"You don't really think they can help you pass the exam to become the City God of Wuji Kingdom, do you?"

Tang Xuanci said:

Am I that naive?

"That bald monk named Huineng is clearly skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he has the support of Mount Ling behind him. Moreover, the Jade Emperor wants to use Buddhism to fight against Taoism."

"Given my current state, this path is definitely not viable."

"Then what did you ask Bi Ma Wen to do?" Zhu Ritian asked.

"Didn't they say they could reveal the exam questions for the essay section? Chen Xiaoke can't even recognize all the characters. If there are no questions, how many points can she get in the essay section?"

"You want to get their questions for free first, and then not pay them? That's a good idea, but they're not stupid. They won't act until they see results."

"If we can't get a prostitute, we'll cheat or steal. Wukong is a natural-born spy; let's send him over and try to gather some intelligence first."

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known, I would have gone too! I would have eaten at that banquet and played with those two girls."

"Haha~"

Tang Xuanci struggled to raise his finger, making a gesture reminiscent of Ip Man giving pointers. After a moment's hesitation, he continued:

"Don't worry, I remember the grudge that Old Zhang in the sky made you cheat on me."

"When that little fool comes back after dinner, give her some pointers tonight, and it would be best if you could teach her an even more powerful killing move."

"Tomorrow, when that 'Little Zhang' isn't looking, let's send him straight to the Western Paradise!"

Ah this?

Upon hearing these weak yet murderous words, Zhu Ritian was taken aback. While inwardly marveling at how fearless this rogue monk was, he also felt a strange warmth rising within him.

But he didn't know that Tang Xuanci had another reason for doing this.

In fact, even when the Zhang family subtly expressed their intentions, Beaker had already analyzed that—

If this "Little Prince Zhang" could be beaten like Red Boy, making him unable to participate in the later essay competitions, then Chen Xiaoke's chances of passing the City God exam would greatly increase.

The reason is simple.

The reason is that the Zhang family is determined to obtain the position of City God of Azhou in Baoxiang Kingdom. Those competitors with strength, background, and threat have probably already been dealt with by them.

After all, a five-star general once said—

Most people treat stock trading like buying lottery tickets; a minority treat it like printing money.

If you are ever fortunate enough to witness the true actions of a few individuals, you must believe them.
