Chapter 564

The Zhao family has Zhao Quan as a vassal, so it was only reasonable that he called for Zhao Chi by name to see him.

Can't dodge it after all?

Or should I just perform poorly?

Zhao Jiao continued, "It's fine. Even if you get first place, no one will pay you too much attention—after all, it's just a village-level competition, and its prestige is even lower than your opening-of-term test. This is more of a social occasion, and the rewards are better."

Zhao Huai said, "If it really won't work, just go through the motions and deliberately lose. Quitting outright definitely won't fly. If you insist on withdrawing, Zhao Quan will definitely come looking for you to ask questions. Do you want that?"

Damn it…

Then forget it, I'll join if I'm joining.

Zhao Chi said, "Alright, I'll participate normally."

Zhao Huai said, "Exactly. A lot of things feel like secrets to you now, but later on you'll find that today's little secrets are all very basic, very childish. Alright, let's go register. You two wait here a moment."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Huai, thank you, Sister Jiao." Lu Hong politely thanked them.

"Thank you, Eleventh Brother, Twelfth Sister." Zhao Chi also expressed his thanks.
