#237 - Chapter 237: Let's Make It Clear
"For this Godly Marriage event, I'm joining the judging panel. They will score the participants based on their performance. The selection process will have three rounds, and the judging panel will score each round.
After the selection, the scores of the participants who pass the selection will be added up for all three rounds to rank them by points, taking the top twenty. This way, it will be much more convenient."
After hearing Zhu Le's explanation, the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, not bad. You said earlier that this point system could help Jiang Huaijin reach the end. How exactly will it help?" Zhu Yuan asked with a puzzled look.
"The judging panel is all our people. How we score Jiang Huaijin is up to us," Zhu Le said softly.
Hearing this, the others smiled knowingly.
On the stage, Li Chenqiu gritted his teeth, constantly撞击着 that invisible barrier.
The audience, unaware of the truth, had big question marks popping up in their heads after seeing this scene.
"What is this person doing? Is he dancing?"
"I don't know. Is there a dance that uses shoulder bumps up and down like that?"
"He seems very skilled. He must have practiced for a long time!"
"Look, he's starting to run back and forth!"
"What on earth is he doing?"
On the stage, Li Chenqiu's chest rose and fell continuously, and beads of sweat flowed down his jawline.
"Who exactly is trying to harm me?"
Li Chenqiu lowered his eyebrows, his face looking unsightly as he looked around.
There were fewer than fifteen people left on the field.
"Huff~"
Li Chenqiu took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and aimed it at his heart.
According to his observation, when someone on the stone slab faced a life-threatening danger, they would be teleported out.
"Actively seeking death might also get me out, but... should I take this risk?"
Li Chenqiu hesitated, looking at his fist.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Chenqiu finally lowered his fist.
Life is more important than anything. There's no need to risk it for such a small matter.
"Hey, what are you doing? It's almost over. Stop showing off!"
Xiang Nanzhi shouted loudly from the audience.
Li Chenqiu looked in the direction of the voice, revealing a helpless smile, and said nothing.
At the same time, several young men joined forces and rushed towards Li Chenqiu.
"Get down!"
"You don't deserve to stand here!"
Listening to the shouts coming from behind, Li Chenqiu closed his eyes in annoyance.
"Aren't you tired?"
Li Chenqiu waved his hand behind him without turning his head.
"Pfft~"
"Why!!!"
"I'm not reconciled!!!"
As several people flew off the stone slab, the tenth group's selection ended, and Li Chenqiu successfully advanced.
The audience on the stands stood up one after another, looking at Li Chenqiu with puzzled expressions.
"What's up with this guy? How can he be strong and weak at times?"
"Yeah, he was directly knocked away with one punch earlier. How could he wave his hand and knock away several people just now? Is he cheating?"
"Strolling around, dancing, running back and forth. Is this white-haired kid here for the assessment?"
"This is unbelievable!"
On the high platform, the Zhu family members showed heartfelt smiles after seeing Li Chenqiu pass the selection.
"He's handsome and strong. It's hard to find someone like that even with a lantern!"
"But... why do I always feel something is strange?"
"It must be a misunderstanding, daughter. Don't hesitate..."
Compared to the liveliness on this side, Li Chenqiu's side was much more desolate.
On the football field, Li Chenqiu rubbed his sore shoulders and jumped off the stone slab with a tired expression.
Xiang Nanzhi, who was waiting under the stage, approached Li Chenqiu and asked in a low voice, "You lied to me, didn't you? Didn't we agree to be eliminated together?!"
"I've always thought so, but..." Li Chenqiu shook his head helplessly, "But I can't do it!"
"You!"
Xiang Nanzhi gritted her teeth, pointed at Li Chenqiu, and said, "Xiang Nanzhi, my brain was really squeezed by a door to believe your nonsense. I poured my heart out to you, and you hid your strength from me, and even deliberately made up a lie and didn't play with me!"
"Think what you want. I didn't expect you to distrust me so much."
Li Chenqiu pushed away Xiang Nanzhi's hand and walked towards the无人阴影处.
Xiang Nanzhi quickly followed Li Chenqiu: "I trusted you too much, that's why I was deceived by you!"
The two walked to the shadows and sat down.
Li Chenqiu rubbed his temples, remaining silent for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.
Xiang Nanzhi pushed Li Chenqiu's arm: "Aren't you going to explain it to me?"
Li Chenqiu glanced at Xiang Nanzhi, then shifted his gaze back, looking at the medical staff carrying the wounded: "You won't believe it even if I say it, so why should I say it?"
"How do you know I won't believe it if you don't say it?"
"I know you won't believe me even if I don't say it."
"How do you know if I believe it if you don't try?"
Li Chenqiu spread his hands: "I already know you don't believe me, so why try?"
A big "#" sign appeared on Xiang Nanzhi's forehead, and she directly slapped the back of Li Chenqiu's head.
Pa!
"Are you trying to give me a tongue twister? I'm telling you to speak, so speak!"
Li Chenqiu rubbed the back of his head, speechless: "Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk."
In the time that followed, Li Chenqiu told everything he had experienced in detail.
Xiang Nanzhi's expression went from curiosity at the beginning, to shock, to horror, until she fell into a daze.
Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu suspiciously: "Are you giving me nonsense again?"
Li Chenqiu reached out and brushed away the hair in front of his forehead: "Use your smart brain to think about it. Do I need to deceive you?"
Xiang Nanzhi scratched her head, touched her chin, and guessed: "Could it be that someone has taken a fancy to you, so they arranged for people to act with you, wanting you to be the live-in son-in-law of the Serpent-Human Tribe?"
Li Chenqiu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I guess it has something to do with the Serpent-Human Tribe."
Xiang Nanzhi tilted her head and looked at Li Chenqiu: "Then what are you going to do? Are you just going to marry into the Serpent-Human Tribe like this?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Li Chenqiu said unhappily: "You're acting with me, then I'll make it clear. I don't believe..."
Just as Xiang Nanzhi was about to say something, Zhu Le's voice sounded on the field.
"Please gather all the selected participants on the south side of the football field."
"Please gather all the selected participants on the south side of the football field."
"Please gather all the selected participants on the south side of the football field."
Everyone on the field turned their heads and looked towards the south side of the football field.
Li Chenqiu supported his knees and slowly stood up, reaching out and patted Xiang Nanzhi's shoulder: "Let's go!"
Soon, except for the selected participants who were seriously injured and unable to get up, the rest gathered on the south side of the football field.
35° upwards from the south side is the high platform where the Zhu family and others are located.
Zhu Yuan took the microphone handed over by Zhu Le and looked at everyone with a kind expression: "After a fierce and intense competition, the first round..."
"Wait a minute!"
