Chapter 395 - 238: Return to the Village to Participate in Activities_2
One of the two foreign aids would inevitably have to drop out, and no matter which side withdrew, it would definitely offend people.
If that’s the case, it would be better to find a local to be the substitute. If Nie Zhaofeng didn’t come back, let him take the spot; if Nie Zhaofeng did return, being one of our own, he wouldn’t mind giving up his place for someone else.
However, they still underestimated Nie Yongjin’s determination to participate in the event. Ever since Nie Zhaofeng and his group returned to the village, Nie Yongjin was the one who had been pouting.
"Grandpa, I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was a kid too! Although I might not be a match for Yongming bro and Yongxin bro, I surely can’t be much worse than Uncle Zhaofeng’s disciple, right? Plus, I’m really good at running and high jump; I run at least ten kilometers every day, Grandpa."
"Ah, we had already agreed on this beforehand, didn’t we? Now’s not the time to argue about this. You’re still young, you don’t understand these things, but since we’ve promised someone, and they even came all the way from America to help us out, we can’t just ignore their feelings."
The seventy-year-old Grandpa sighed. He didn’t know how to explain it to this youngster. If he could understand such reasoning, he wouldn’t have finished only high school.
"But their reputation is one thing, and the honor our lineage earns in the competition is another. What if he really can’t fight?"
Nie Yongjin stood his ground, his voice growing louder and louder, to the point where even Nie Zhaofeng and Li Ang, who were enjoying the plants in the yard, could hear them. Clearly, he was still unwilling to give up.
Li Ang didn’t speak, but Nie Zhaofeng was the first to become upset. He had gone to great lengths to invite Li Ang, and offending him felt even more aggravating than offending himself.
"Nie Yongjin, come here."
Nie Yongjin, having spoken so loudly just to make sure they heard with the hope that the foreign aid might step down, became somewhat afraid when Nie Zhaofeng actually called him over.
"Uncle Zhaofeng, what’s the matter?"
