Chapter 365: Rookie Competition

Zhao Chi was, after all, a junior.

Letting the elders step in directly over a conflict between juniors always felt like making a mountain out of a molehill.

So if Xiao Zhiyi hadn't come to ask, Zhao Qizu wouldn't have let Zhao Huai contact Zhao Chi at all.

Zhao Chi replied, 【To put it simply, at the 0:00 mark, I chose to split off the Flower Demons, but Xiao Rui said those Flower Demons were his, told me to capture them and give them back to him, and had a filthy mouth, so I gave him a taste of his own medicine.】

Zhao Huai: 【Holy shit, I was still wondering how you actually snatched his Flower Demons — turns out that's how you did it? That guy really has no shame.】

Zhao Chi: 【Eleventh Brother, you think so too?】

Zhao Huai: 【Of course! The Xiao family people are just messed in the head, every single one of them acting like lunatics.】

Zhao Chi: 【Just now he was acting all self-righteous, honestly…】

Zhao Huai: 【Here's the thing — by his old logic, what he said before would've been fine, but this time it's different.】

Zhao Chi: 【Huh? What do you mean?】

Zhao Huai explained:

【Before, when extra demon-beast quotas were assigned to our village, the Xiao family always took on the most, and our Zhao family took on the least.】

【So under those circumstances, the Xiao family proposed that whoever took on the most got to pick first.】

【They're all demon beasts, but some are easy to fight and some aren't, and the spoils are all different too.】

【But who could argue when they took on the biggest share? So everyone agreed.】

【Our share was small, so we could only gnaw on the bones, and we did so willingly enough.】

【But this time is completely different.】

【This time it's a damn even split, so who's going to give them face? Whoever grabs it, keeps it.】

【That Xiao Rui is probably still stuck in the old rules, which is why he lost his mind this time — hahahaha.】

So that's how it was.

Zhao Chi had thought the other side was simply losing it for no reason.

Turns out there was still some reason behind it.

But since he wasn't in the wrong himself, it didn't matter.

Next time, he'd snatch them again!

Zhao Chi: 【Got it, Eleventh Brother. Is everything clear on my end too?】

Zhao Huai: 【Crystal clear. How's it going on your side — all done fighting?】

Not only was the fighting done, he'd even slept beautifully for two hours.

Zhao Chi: 【Yeah, that's right.】
