Chapter 44: The mountain will fall if you rely on it, but you will run if you rely on everyone

The players at the table had different thoughts and remained silent.

Lin Zhiqing first looked at the gentle woman sitting next to him: "Miss, I believe you are a discerning person."

"The key to this game is logical thinking. If you can judge good and bad based on something as unfounded as the movement of clothes, then what's the point of this game?"

The gentle woman kept pinching her handkerchief, frowning, and staring at the teacup in front of her, obviously thinking.

Just thinking.

Lin Zhiqing was about to speak when the handsome man, noticing something was wrong, interrupted her immediately: "How can you, a person who only got two points by luck, say such things?"

"Your parents are not good people. They gave birth to a loser like you. Now anyone can sit at the table in the Bachelor's Mansion."

He was a little anxious, and when he was anxious he tended to speak without restraint.

"No one in the Bachelor's Mansion said anything, but you are the boss of the Bachelor's Mansion." Lin Zhiqing counterattacked calmly:
"You've been targeting me since I got the cards. You're just afraid that I'll see your identity as a wolf."

"The people behind me were led astray by you, so they rushed to step on me."

Lin Zhiqing spoke each word with great force: "First of all, if I were a wolf, and so many people were saying they wanted to vote me out, what about my wolf teammates?"

"Even if they wanted to protect themselves, they wouldn't have voted me out so quickly."

"So among those who have been targeting me, there must be two wolves, and the rest must have been led astray by the people in front."

Lin Zhiqing knew very well that these people were trying to eliminate him under the instructions of Princess Pingning.

But she still dealt with these people with the mindset of playing a game, with the aim of not letting her emotions get out of control and allowing bystanders to see the situation clearly.

And... she looked at the two players whose guilty consciences were written all over their faces and pointed them out directly:
"You, and you, are supposed to be good people, but you were taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives. But what good is it to push me out?"

Lin Zhiqing meant something.

Everyone else thought she was talking about the game, and only a few people who were bewitched knew that she was satirizing Princess Pingning.

The handsome man realized that something was wrong and wanted to say something, but with the noise coming from the crowd, everyone's attention suddenly turned to the few people who had just finished a game.

Lin Zhiqing had sharp eyes and spotted Lin Shian, who was at the end of the team.

He stood tall, but his lips were tightly pursed, one hand was placed in front of him, the other hand was hidden in his sleeve, his eyebrows were drooping, and he looked like an abandoned puppy, quite frustrated.

Just by looking at his expression, Lin Zhiqing was sure that his cousin had failed!
At today's spring banquet, Lin Zhiqing was the focus, especially with the bet with the old lady.

Although most people think that Lin Zhiqing will not be able to make it to the second round, she has a cousin who is very skilled in martial arts.

As long as Lin Shian wins first place in a certain event, both of them will be able to enter the second round.

Lin Zhiqing's situation is not good now, and everyone thinks she will definitely be eliminated early.

In this way, if they want to enter the second round, only Lin Shian has a chance.

But now it seems...

"Oh, Lin Shian is out too. The Lin family really doesn't have many people left."

"You still want the old lady of the scholar's mansion to apologize? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself."

"Lin Shian is also out. Who else can help Lin Zhiqing now? Hahahaha, just wait for the embarrassment!"

The ridicule and abuse from the crowd continued to reach his ears, but Lin Zhiqing withdrew his gaze and didn't care much.

She had never placed all her hopes on her cousin from the beginning.

Mountains will fall if you rely on them, and you will run if you rely on people.

And my cousin can’t be blamed for this.

Lin Zhiqing knew full well that Princess Pingning, having forced him into this situation, would definitely not let his cousin go. Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhiqing cast his gaze upon his ID card: "The only way to win the game is to find the wolf. I'm not the only one with two points right now."

She looked at an unremarkable man sitting on the table.

This man was not very conspicuous from the beginning of the game, but he got the same identity card as himself twice, which is why he got two points.

In the last round, he stood against himself together with that handsome man.

Princess Pingning must have greeted him.

"You currently have two points. If you vote me out, our Sheep team will lose. If you get two points like everyone else, there will be no winner in this game."

"If you help them charge now, once the game is over and you can't enter the second round, it's like you have nothing."

Lin Zhiqing observed the man's expression as he spoke.

His eyebrows were squeezed together, his breathing rate slowed down a little, and he was motionless, obviously thinking.

To be more specific, it is about weighing the pros and cons.

The handsome man obviously saw the problem and became anxious: "Idiot, she is trying to trick you. She is a wolf!"

"You can't win unless she's voted out. Have you forgotten what that person told us..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were stunned, and then there was an overwhelming discussion.

The handsome man then realized what he had said and suddenly covered his mouth.

But it's too late now.

Lin Zhiqing's lips curled up, his provocation working. "Did everyone hear what he said just now?"

The unremarkable man was hesitant at first, but now he swallowed and was the first to say, "I don't know what he's talking about."

Compared to losing a game, one's personality certainly cannot be insulted.

The Spring Banquet only takes place once a year. If something happens at this juncture, not only will we offend the Scholars' Mansion, but our reputation will also be affected if it gets out.

Lin Zhiqing calculated this, so he tried his best to irritate the handsome man and lure him into the trap.

The maid who was hosting the game saw that things were heading in an uncontrollable direction, so she stopped standing by and watched. She interrupted everyone's speeches and started the voting time.

No one dared to stand up and express their dissatisfaction with this. Even if they had some complaints in their hearts, no one dared to offend the Bachelor's Mansion.

Lin Zhiqing did not speak again, but took the lead in casting his vote for the handsome man.

After her direct or indirect provocation, the handsome man's words and deeds were no longer trusted by others.

Soon, he was eliminated with a very high number of votes.

With this "lesson learned", those who were wavering stopped wavering and directly voted out those who had just refuted Lin Zhiqing.

In other words, they all thought that Lin Zhiqing was indeed a sheep.

But in fact it is not.

If it was a sheep, Lin Zhiqing believed that the handsome man would stab himself first.

Then I won’t have the chance to carry out the subsequent series of operations.

Lin Zhiqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he had killed the last sheep.

"The game is over. Lin Zhiqing gets three points and enters the second round." The maid's voice rang out.

For a moment, there was silence.
