Chapter 139 Too Sexy

Zhu Yin continued, "Uncle, the foreigners in Southeast Asia, besides the Portuguese, also include the Dutch and the French."

"Netherlands, France?" Tian Yi had never heard of them.

Zhu Yin explained: "The Netherlands is also a Western country. Nowadays, the Dutch do not have any territory in Southeast Asia. They are just merchants, monks, and mercenaries. France is also a Western country. It does not have any territory in Southeast Asia either. It is also just monks and mercenaries."

"But these Portuguese actually represent two countries. One is called Isisbaria (Spain), and the other is called Porto de Portugal."

"The Frankish Empire is actually two countries?" Tian Yi was quite surprised.

Zhu Yin nodded, "However, these two countries are now united. Isisbaria has annexed Polduwa, so it can be considered one country."

"In this way, all the territories of the Portuguese in Southeast Asia were actually owned by one single power."

Tian Yi frowned and said, "If that's the case, then if they're all one family, how come there are only a little over a thousand people?"

Zhu Yin said, "The entire Southeast Asia region certainly has far more than a thousand foreign soldiers. In the territories of Macau, Luzon, Malacca, India, Java and other places, there are at least ten thousand Western soldiers."

"But these places are too big. They stretch from India in the west to the Ming Dynasty in the east, and from Java in the south to the vast sea."

"With so many overseas territories, where wouldn't troops be stationed to guard them? Spreading more than 10,000 troops across such a large territory is obviously not a solution to an immediate problem."

"If Luzon is attacked by pirates, the foreign troops in other places will not be able to come to its aid in time."

Tian Yi did not doubt Zhu Yin's words.

Although Zhihu is young, he has always been reliable in his actions and words.

“There are only a little over a thousand people in Luzon.” Tian Yi’s eyes flashed. “Many people in the court thought that the Westerners had tens of thousands of troops in Luzon.”

Zhu Yin was speechless upon hearing this.

Because of its long-term maritime ban and isolation, the Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to foreign intelligence. Basically, it believed whatever foreign envoys and merchants told it.

The emperor's information was even less than that of smugglers.

Back then, Portugal conquered Malacca (Malaysia), which was subservient to the Ming Dynasty, and took control of the entire Malacca.

The Ming Dynasty's tributary states, such as Ceylon, Calicut, and Goa, were all conquered by Portugal and turned into colonies, yet the Ming emperors and officials were unaware of this for many years.

It's really strange.

Western colonizers claimed to have tens of thousands of troops in Southeast Asia, but they didn't bother with intelligence gathering and were simply intimidated by the Westerners' bluster.

Don't they realize that if foreigners really had that much power in Southeast Asia, how come they couldn't do anything to the pirate Lin Daoqian?
Tian Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, the imperial court knows far too little about the situation of foreign tribes overseas. As Sun Tzu said, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' They've completely forgotten this ancient saying."

"But foreigners seem to know a lot about the Chinese government. Most of the foreign monks living in Nanjing can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. They are very adept at dealing with officials and wealthy merchants."

Zhu Yin nodded and said, "Who can argue with that? The foreigners know us very well. On the contrary, we know very little about them."

"The imperial court is too arrogant." Tian Yi pointed out the problem incisively. "Arrogance leads to underestimating the enemy and disdain for understanding foreign barbarians. If this continues, they will suffer sooner or later."

Zhu Yin said insincerely, "Why doesn't Uncle advise His Majesty and the court?"

Tian Yi shook his head: "You think no one has mentioned it? It's completely useless. The Emperor doesn't care about these things either."

Zhu Yin knew that Westerners were very good at intelligence work. As early as seventy years ago, the Portuguese colonists had already reached Zhengde's inner circle with intelligence.

When Emperor Zhengde made his southern tour, the colonial leader Perez, having learned of it in advance, waited in Nanjing for him. He bribed Jiang Bin, a favorite minister of Zhengde, as well as the eunuchs around Zhengde, and finally managed to meet with Zhengde.

Seeing his "submissiveness," Emperor Zhengde generously rewarded him and even issued a "trade contract."

Meanwhile, the Portuguese were abducting people and raping women in Guangdong. Because he had bribed local officials, Zhengde was completely unaware of this and thought the foreigners were submissive.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Zhengde died of illness not long after returning to Beijing, and Jiang Bin, who had colluded with the Portuguese, was executed, one of the charges being: colluding with foreign barbarians.

Just as Zhu Yin was thinking about this, he heard Tian Yi bring up a related topic:

"Child Tiger, you don't know, but our nation and the foreign barbarians have actually fought several battles. Although we had more people than foreigners and suffered heavy losses, we ultimately won."

"When Emperor Wuzong died, Jiang Bin was executed. When Emperor Shizong ascended the throne, he discovered that, well, all those tributary states of the Ming Dynasty in Southeast Asia had long been destroyed by the Portuguese!"

"No wonder they stopped paying tribute; they had already been destroyed by the foreign barbarians."

"The emperor was furious and immediately issued an edict to expel the ambitious Portuguese. What could the Portuguese do? Fight! And so a war broke out."

Tian Yi thought Zhu Yin didn't know, but Zhu Yin actually knew very well.

At that time, the Portuguese stopped pretending and simply transferred troops from their colony of Malaya to attack the Ming Dynasty.

This is the little-known Battle of Tuen Mun.

On one side was the Ming Dynasty, the hegemon of East Asia, and on the other side was Portugal, which had already occupied East Africa and conquered more than ten countries in Southeast Asia.

Tian Yi continued, "Only at this point did the imperial court hastily begin to gather military intelligence on the foreigners."

"The Ming Dynasty did not have an independent navy, so it could only gather the warships of various garrisons in Guangdong and temporarily form a navy to fight against Western warships."

"As expected, our army suffered a defeat in the first battle, with heavy casualties, and had no choice but to retreat temporarily."

"Seeing the foreigners' large ships and sails, which were difficult to defeat, Commander Wang thought of the Battle of Red Cliffs in the Three Kingdoms period."

"Therefore, Wang Hong replicated the Battle of Red Cliffs, taking advantage of the south wind, and used fifty small boats filled with oil to attack the large Portuguese ships."

"As a result, the Portuguese warships were reduced to ashes in the raging fire, with only a few dozen people escaping Tuen Mun."

At this point, Tian Yi sighed and said, "Perhaps because of this great victory, the court no longer takes the foreign barbarians seriously. Now, its understanding of the foreign situation is not as good as it was during the reign of Emperor Shizong."

Zhu Yin nodded, also feigning a worried expression.

He knew more and more comprehensively than Tian Yi did.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Portugal returned the following year, attempting to seize Guangdong as a colony.

However, Portugal was defeated by Wang Hong once again.

Wang Hong, a civil official who led troops to a great victory, was highly valued by the Jiajing Emperor and thus became the only person in the Ming Dynasty to hold the positions of Minister of War and Minister of Personnel concurrently.

After that, the Portuguese simply colluded with the Japanese pirates and cooperated with them to invade the Zhoushan Islands, and later occupied Macau.

During the decades-long invasion of the Ming Dynasty, many wealthy merchants, powerful families, and gangsters became traitors, colluding with foreigners for personal gain.

As a result, Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to issue an order: "Anyone who engages in trade with foreign countries, regardless of whether they are officials or civilians, shall be sentenced to death."

These events fully revealed the Ming Dynasty's corruption and incompetence.

Tian Yi said, "Using pirates to deal with the foreigners in Luzon, fighting poison with poison, and keeping the foreigners busy with other matters sounds like a good idea. However, how to use pirates to do it is difficult."

Zhu Yin pretended to think for a moment and said, "I came back from the South Seas by ship and know some things. I have a bad idea that might get the pirates to attack the Portuguese."

"I've heard that the imperial court abandoned Zhoushan, and Zhoushan has been occupied by pirates and Japanese pirates. A group of pirates wiped out the Japanese pirates and dominated Zhoushan Island, supposedly wanting to be granted amnesty..."

Tian Yi shook his head and said, "It's difficult to offer amnesty now. In previous years, most of the bandits who were granted amnesty by the court have betrayed the court again. It's almost impossible to get the court to grant amnesty."

Zhu Yin knew, of course, that surrender was impossible. If it were easy, he wouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

Let alone the fact that the imperial court is unwilling to offer amnesty now, even if the imperial court were willing, the Daishan Army would not be willing. They have long been disillusioned with the imperial court, so why would they accept amnesty?

Zhu Yin smiled and said, "It is indeed difficult to grant amnesty; the imperial court will not approve it. However, my uncle is the garrison commander of Southern Zhili, and he does have the authority to grant amnesty. Whether the court approves or not is up to the imperial court, but whether or not to grant amnesty is up to my uncle."

"Uncle sent people to Zhoushan under the pretext of offering amnesty, secretly instructing them to deal with the foreign barbarians. He also sent gold and silver as a token of sincerity. In order to succeed in offering amnesty, they will most likely send troops. I heard that they already have a grudge against the foreigners, so they will definitely want to rob them."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yi nodded and said, "Zhihu, your method is indeed worth a try. It is a brilliant strategy of using the enemy to control the barbarians, and it is truly the best policy."

"With the threat of pirates, the foreign barbarians are powerless to entangle themselves with the Ming Dynasty. I never expected you to be so skilled in strategy at such a young age."

Zhu Yin was not wrong. He indeed did not have the authority to grant amnesty. However, as the garrison commander of Nanjing, he did have the authority to propose amnesty and could contact the bandits in the name of amnesty.

As for whether the imperial court will approve it, that's a matter for the future.

Tian Yi then asked, "As far as you know, how many men did that pirate gang have?"

Zhu Yin shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, since they were able to dominate the Zhoushan Islands and wipe out that group of Japanese pirates, their power must be considerable, probably no less than several thousand people."

"However, they definitely have the idea of ​​being recruited. Anyway, it's just some money and supplies, so it's definitely worth a try."

Tian Yi thought for a moment, then stood up and took a few steps.

"This is a plan from the Water Margin to use the Liangshan bandits to attack the Khitan."

"Chih-hu, you've helped me solve a tricky problem."

"Then we should use the Nanjing treasury, allocate some money and supplies, promise some benefits, and lure them to send troops."

He was a high-ranking official in the Southern Zhili region, and with the official seal of an imperial envoy, using the government's treasury funds and supplies was just a matter of issuing a warrant.

Zhu Yin asked, "In your opinion, Uncle, how much grain should be allocated?"

Tian Yi said, "We'll have to see their attitude first. If they're obedient, ten thousand shi of grain and ten thousand taels of silver will be just a matter of a word."

He then pondered for a moment and said, "If we try to lure the pirates out, without weapons and gunpowder, it might not work."

Zhu Yin immediately showed a worried expression, "Ah? We also need to send military equipment and gunpowder? If this gets out, won't someone in the court criticize my uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Yi laughed instead.

"I am not afraid of being attacked for such things. I am not afraid of being attacked, because His Majesty would never believe that I would aid the enemy and nurture a bandit!"

"Even His Majesty knows this is a strategy of using bandits to control barbarians. He certainly won't object."

"Furthermore, I am the Minister of Defense of Nanjing, in charge of the defense of the Yangtze River and the sea. This is my duty. My use of money, provisions and military equipment is a military matter. Who can interfere?"

Zhu Yin looked relieved and said with a smile, "Your child is ignorant and has been overthinking things."

Tian Yi said, "However, this matter cannot be delayed. It would be best if the pirates could send troops to attack the barbarians before the New Year. Two months would be enough time for them to prepare."

"Even if it doesn't work out, it's just a little bit of supplies and money. What's it worth? Since ancient times, accepting amnesty has been like gambling. Who wouldn't place a bet?"

Zhu Yin said, "In that case, I can rest assured."

Tian Yi nodded and said, "Zhihu, it's rare that you've shared my burdens. I was right about you. Come on, let's have a drink together."

Tian Yi was very pleased to have learned the strategy of "using bandits to control barbarians".

He treated Zhu Yin like a son or nephew, regarding him as a trusted confidant.

After having a banquet at the garrison headquarters, Zhu Yin bid farewell to Tian Yi and his wife and left the city to return home.

Upon returning to the Zhou family villa, Zhu Yin immediately sent someone to summon Li Jiayi from Baohua Mountain.

He instructed Li Jiayi to temporarily hand over the military affairs of the Baohuashan Guangming Camp to Meh and Niman, and then personally went to Zhoushan to deliver his message.

He wasn't in a hurry either.

Because Li Jiayi will definitely arrive in Zhoushan before Tian Yi's messenger.

For the uncle-in-law, this move was a "using the enemy to control the barbarians" strategy that could solve the problem.

For the Daishan Army, this meant receiving a batch of money, food, and supplies.

For me, this would allow me to gain Tian Yi's trust even more.

Moreover, he was originally planning to take action against the Spaniards at the end of the year.

The only losers are the foreigners!

Zhu Yin did not feel that he was maliciously deceiving his uncle-in-law.

On the contrary, he felt that he was helping indirectly.

Three days after Li Jiayi left Nanjing, Zhu Yin learned that Tian Yi had finally sent a trusted eunuch to the Zhoushan Islands.

Once the eunuch arrives at Daishan, Li Jiayi will definitely arrive several days earlier, and Daishan Island will receive his message in advance and prepare a smokescreen.

What awaited the little eunuch was, of course, a performance.

Become!

…On the ninth day after Tian Yi sent his trusted confidant, the eunuch finally returned to Nanjing and immediately reported to Tian Yi in secret.

"My lord, the pirates of Zhoushan number at least three or four thousand, with hundreds of warships of various sizes."

"The leader's surname is Lin, and he is a branch of Lin Daoqian, a notorious bandit in Southeast Asia. They do want to be recruited by the government, and they do have a grudge against foreigners."

"Upon learning that the lord intended to offer them amnesty, the bandits were overjoyed and hoped to serve the imperial court..."

The eunuch's reports were all favorable to the "using bandits to control barbarians" plan.

“Lin Daoqian!” Tian Yi frowned. “So he’s this guy’s subordinate. He wanted to be recruited by the government back then, but he was too unruly, so the recruitment fell through.”

"The Zhoushan bandits will be able to launch their attack by the end of the year?"

The eunuch said with certainty, "The troops can be dispatched before the New Year. However, however..."

Tian Yi snorted coldly, "But what? Money, food, and supplies?"

"Yes." The eunuch nodded. "They said that without money, food and supplies, it would be difficult to send troops to serve the court."

"Serve the imperial court?" Tian Yi sneered. "A bunch of greedy, profit-driven bandits, what right do they have to serve the imperial court?"

"How much do they want?"

"Reporting to you, sir, they don't ask for much. They say they want 10,000 shi of rice, 10,000 taels of silver, 5,000 jin of gunpowder, 30,000 arrows, 1,000 bows, and 500 muskets."

Tian Yi nodded slightly, "They know their limits and didn't ask for an exorbitant amount. The arsenal can allocate the funds. Go back and give them the supplies. There's only one condition: troops must be dispatched before the Lunar New Year."

He held great power in the Southern Zhili region, and these funds and supplies were indeed not much for him.

"Yes!" the eunuch acknowledged, then hesitated, "Sir, what if... what if the bandits take the goods but don't send troops to attack the barbarians, deceiving the court..."

Tian Yi calmly picked up his teacup. "So what? Consider this a loss as a bet. The court will never give them another chance."

"If they don't value their integrity, they will be the ones who suffer in the end. Don't forget, the power to defend the coast of Jiangnan is still in my hands!"

…………

Before we knew it, it was early November.

Ning Caiwei has been gone for two months.

After school that day, Zhu Yin did not immediately train his students, but instead went to Xu Wei's small courtyard to the west.

In Xu Wei's small courtyard, Jin Yunniang and Kang Qian were in charge of his daily life.

His food and clothing were of the highest quality, and he held the position of tutor.

The study was fully equipped, and on the desk were best-selling books such as "Investiture of the Gods" that Zhu Yin had bought for him.

Xu Wei changed into a brand new Taoist robe, with a crane-feather cloak over it. His complexion was much rosier, and he looked energetic, without the previous dejected air.

In the study, Yunniang ground the ink for him, and Kangxi and Qianlong lit incense for him.

When Zhu Yin entered, he saw smoke swirling in the Boshan incense burner and the inkstone exuding a fragrant aroma. Xu Wei was holding a fine brush, writing with flowing strokes.

The characters are all small, no bigger than a finger. Although it is in running script, it is similar to regular script. It is easy to recognize and beautiful, and you can't take your eyes off it once you look at it.

Zhu Yin looked and saw that Xu Wei's "Chronicles of the Summer Gods" had already been published.

Zhu Yin curiously read a few pages. The first chapter was titled "Creating the World and Creating Chaos: Taihao Transforms into Four Bodies, Transcending Tribulations and Cultivating the Great Dao: Zhang Jian Returns to the One True Realm."

As expected, the opening is grand in scale, and the concept is ingenious yet harmonious.

The first chapter states that the supreme ruler of heaven and earth is Haotian, who is without laws or forms, possesses all laws and forms, knows everything, is omnipresent, and is omnipotent.

Haotian is the heavens above, God.

But for the sake of all living beings, Taihao created four Dharma bodies, which manifested in the world of sentient beings and belonged to the four cardinal directions.

The four-dimensional Dharma body is the Dao Lord in Heaven, Pangu on Earth, Fuxi in Yang, and Nuwa in Yin.

In other words, the Dao Lord, Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa, who represent the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, were all transformed from the Dao Qi of Haotian.

These four are the highest deities, belonging to the four great creator gods.

As for Haotian, because he has no Dharma form, although he is supreme, he has no divine position. He is not a god, but the Heavenly Dao itself.

These four creator gods: Daojun transformed into the Three Pure Ones; Pangu transformed into mountains and rivers; Fuxi transformed into the sun and moon; and Nuwa transformed into the Five Elements.

Thus, the Three Realms and Five Elements were created.

Zhu Yin couldn't help but admire this setting.

What is a nation's creation myth? It's its innate ideology. Of course, it's important.

Unfortunately, there are too many different versions of the Chinese creation myth.

There are several theories about the creation of the world: Pangu creating the world, Nuwa creating humans, Fuxi creating the world, Haotian creating the world, Taiyi creating the world, and Laozi creating the world.

These claims are clearly regional, and each person has their own version of them.

The lack of systematic approach is a major reason why later Chinese mythology has been inherently deficient in cultural export.

Later ethnologists discovered this major problem, and the official narrative also promoted Nuwa, strengthening the Nuwa creation myth and deliberately downplaying other theories, but unfortunately it was too late.

If this innate consciousness and mindset had been unified a few hundred years earlier, the national culture would have been even stronger.

"Truly a work of unrestrained imagination and divine inspiration." Zhu Yin continued reading with great interest. "Once this book is completed, it will surely become a bestseller."

Xu Wei laughed heartily, “I dare not say that it will be expensive in Luoyang, but at least it will be suitable for all ages, unlike the previous ‘Meiping Jin’ which was too embarrassing to be seen by people.”

He was very confident in the book, not only because of his own writing skills and talent, but also because of Zhu Yin's inspiration.

In the setting of "Summer Gods Chronicle", in addition to the four creator gods transformed from Haotian, there are also the chaotic beings that already existed.

They did not participate in the creation of the world, nor were they the manifestations of Haotian, yet they were the oldest beings in the universe.

Some of these oldest chaotic beings were extremely powerful, such as Lu Ya Daojun, Bodhi Patriarch, and Donghuang Taiyi.

But most of the creatures are chaotic demons.

At this point in Xu Wei's writing, the first main character finally appears.

The four creator gods decided to first establish the Celestial Court, and needed to select a Heavenly Emperor from among the chaotic beings, with the Taoist title of Jade Emperor, to facilitate the management of the Celestial Realm.

The selection of the Jade Emperor requires going through many tribulations and being reborn repeatedly before one can achieve enlightenment and become the Jade Emperor.

That's right, the protagonist of the first half of "Summer God Chronicles" is the Jade Emperor.

Xu Wei's story is about a weak, chaotic being who passes tests, gains the approval of the four creator gods, thwarts the conspiracies of Lu Ya, Bodhi, and other great chaotic gods, defeats various demons, and ascends to the throne of the Jade Emperor.

The protagonist was named Zhang Jian by Xu Wei.

"Haha! Zhang Jian." Zhu Yin couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't Zhang Jian the name of the Jade Emperor? Well chosen, he should be called Zhang Jian."

Xu Wei's character design is so outrageous.

The book states that Zhang Jian offended a stone monkey as soon as he appeared on screen.

It's a stone monkey.

He injured the stone monkey, forcing it to reincarnate in the Three Realms, thus creating a karmic connection between them. Little did he know that this stone monkey was the spirit pet of the Chaos God, Bodhi Patriarch.

Bodhi and Lu Ya, along with other Chaos Gods, were all opposed to establishing the Heavenly Court order. While they dared not openly offend the Four Creators, they could secretly obstruct Zhang Jian's cultivation.

If it cannot be stopped, Zhang Jian will become the Jade Emperor and will hold the first Investiture of the Gods.

By this point, Zhu Yin was already feeling involved and looking forward to the story.

If there's a first investiture of gods, there will be a second and a third. Wouldn't that allow for a unified explanation of the "Investiture of the Gods"?

Because the story in "Investiture of the Gods" could very well be the Nth time that gods were conferred titles.

So sexy.

Although this book is a typical classical novel, it already contains many elements of later online novels, and the inspiration I gave to Xu Wei was not in vain.

Once it is published, its popularity and influence will be immeasurable, and it may become a classic like the Taoist canon, serving as the orthodox interpretation of Taoist mythology.

As expected of Xu Wei, this first chapter is both epic and thrilling, yet also very easy to understand and captivating.

Zhu Yin couldn't help but feel the urge to urge for an update.

He certainly knew that the protagonist of the middle part of "The Legend of the Summer Gods" was Shennong, and the protagonist of the second half was the Yellow Emperor.

Xu Wei said that he would write at least a million words for "The Chronicles of Summer Gods", which would be more than "Plum in the Bottle".

The old man seemed quite content, like a child who had found a new toy.

He smiled at Zhu Yin and said, "I can't die until I finish writing 'The Chronicles of Summer Gods'."

Zhu Yin shook his head: "Even after you finish writing 'The Chronicles of Summer,' you can't die. You have to live to be over eighty years old."

Xu Wei couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter had barely subsided when he suddenly asked, "Young Tiger, would you like to be Zhang Jian in the book?"

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Yin with a gleaming gaze.

Test!

Zhu Yin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

He stared into Xu Wei's eyes, his expression calm and collected, yet his tone left no room for argument:

"Yin, I wish to be Zhang Jian."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken.

Xu Wei was very satisfied, and Zhu Yin was also very satisfied.

Xu Wei was certain that Zhu Yin had that ambition, and that he was the person he had previously sought but could not obtain.

Zhu Yin was also certain that Xu Wei had long harbored rebellious intentions, hated the imperial court, and was definitely a loyal ally of the rebellion.

So Zhu Yin said with a hidden meaning, "I hope you take care of your health, sir. I will rely on you for important matters in the future."

Xu Wei also said with a hidden meaning, "I also hope to live to eighty, and try my best to wait until that day."

Just as the two were talking, Kangxi suddenly came to report that Shangyang had arrived.

A while ago, Shang Yang came to meet with his old friend Xu Wei and stayed here for a few days.

Here we go again.

Soon, Shang Yang, nearing fifty, entered the courtyard with a playful expression. He first greeted Xu Wei, then spoke to Zhu Yin:
"Child Tiger, you left school quickly today, but you don't know that yet, do you?"

Zhu Yin asked, "What do you know? Brother Zhouming, this is a bit strange."

Shang Yang laughed and said, "Not long ago, Wang Ruifang and Dong Shi spread the word that many gambling dens in Nanjing had already opened for betting."

"I bet you and Wang Ruifang, next year in the provincial examination, who will pass and become a Juren, who will be the real prodigy of Nanyong."

"By tomorrow, you and Wang Ruifang will be famous throughout Nanjing."

“Child Tiger, this time Wang Ruifang has issued a challenge to you. He has cornered you and put you in a hot seat. He’s not afraid of making things worse. You have no choice but to accept it.”

"With him causing such a scene, if you don't pass the imperial examination next year, your title of child prodigy will likely be trampled on..."

Zhu Yin never expected that Wang Ruifang would be so rude and unethical out of jealousy!
This goes beyond the scope of struggle and becomes a rogue tactic.

Jealousy can drive people crazy.

"Wang Jia'er!" Zhu Yin couldn't help but slam his fist on the table. "He's a disgrace!"

P.S.: Little Tiger is ten years old, Wang Ruifang is thirteen. Who is the real child prodigy? Place your bets now! Thank you, goodnight!
(End of this chapter)
