Chapter 451: Disgraced?
This small leaflet is dark green in color, similar to the color of most medicines.
Su Xia took it in her hand and read through the contents of the flyer.
The meaning it conveys is actually very simple. It simply means that Su Xia is not worthy of the title of "Master" and directly points out that Su Xia's reputation was taken from his father.
[In this coral city, there is someone else who is the real master! ]
This is the central idea of this little leaflet.
In response to this, Su Xia looked calm.
The moment he saw the title of the flyer, he knew who had written it.
"Four Seasons Rice is indeed a haunting fellow." He smiled calmly, crumpled up the flyer and threw it into the trash can beside him.
"According to city laws, he should be fined for posting flyers everywhere. If he posts a lot of flyers, he can be detained for a period of time." Su Xia suddenly had an interesting idea.
Of course, he also knew that given Sijidao's current status, it was unlikely that he would be detained.
That kind of method can only disgust him.
"It seems that Sijidao really wants to win once."
Su Xia was not panicked. He knew that there would definitely be a fifth-level pharmacist coming to challenge him next, but now he was no longer so in awe of fifth-level pharmacists.
Not to mention him, even for Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, as long as they work harder, becoming fifth-level pharmacists will be a natural thing.
My dad is a man who, apart from anything else, has very high standards when it comes to accepting apprentices.
Su Xia continued walking back and found many similar flyers on the walls on both sides of the alley. Even several trash cans were covered with flyers. It was simply a tireless advertising effort.
Some flyers have different contents, but the core ideas are similar.
"This is to create momentum, arouse public opinion, and use the momentum to put pressure on me so that I have to accept the challenge." Su Xia understood what Sijidao wanted to do.
If he guessed correctly, Sijidao's means are not limited to this small flyer. It is likely that other channels have been opened up, such as some self-media and short video platforms, and efforts have been made from various channels to make the public opinion offensive achieve the most perfect effect.
However, public opinion is a double-edged sword.
The more successful he is in making Four-Season Rice now, the stronger the backlash will be when he fails.
If Su Xia wins, doesn’t that prove that Su Xia is the real master?
As for other people, no matter who Sijidao looks for, they will become Su Xia's foil and become clown-like characters.
"Master Sijidao is also unlucky. He is already so old and has met such a disciple. Even if nothing goes wrong this time, he will lose his reputation sooner or later!"
Su Xia looked calm, without any nervousness in her heart, and continued to move forward.
During this period, he was not only thinking about Sijidao, but also distracted himself to sense the locations of the four killers.
When he went out in the morning, the four men followed him all the time, but they seemed to be afraid, so they didn't take any action. They just watched Su Xia approach the Zero Point Tavern.
Now, Su Xia came out of the tavern.
From the tavern to the pharmacy, you will pass through several deserted alleys along the way.
Those alleys have been in disrepair for a long time and have no surveillance, making them the most suitable locations for action.
Putting yourself in Su Xia's shoes, if it were him, he would definitely choose to do it in those alleys.
“Will they do it?”
Su Xia thought so and stepped into one of the alleys.
This alley faces away from the morning sunlight. It is dark and narrow, about two hundred meters long. The ground is bumpy and there is garbage everywhere in the corners. Flies can be seen buzzing around on the garbage.
Apart from the flies, there was no other life in this alley.
As soon as Su Xia walked in, she felt a chill down her spine, and the feeling of being stared at appeared again.
"really……"
His expression remained unchanged and he said nothing. He continued walking forward, carrying the small medicine box on his back, and walked into the darkness of the alley.
The alley was very quiet, so quiet that the only sound was Su Xia's footsteps.
He walked steadily, neither fast nor slow, making him a very qualified target for assassination.
Four murderous gazes were focused on him, but they still did not take action and watched him slowly walk away.
Soon, Su Xia had walked two-thirds of the way along the alley.
What surprised him was that the four men were still enduring and had no intention of taking action.
How long do you want to wait?
Su Xia's expression remained unchanged. She did not look back or make any other strange movements. She continued walking forward, slowly walking through the alley, then turned a corner and entered another alley.
This alley is wider than the previous one, and there are a few people scattered in the boxes.
"Master Su, good morning!" After seeing Su Xia, these people greeted Su Xia one after another.
"Good morning!"
Su Xia responded with a smile, her tone normal.
In this alley, the four men probably won't take action, after all, there are too many people around.
But after a while, Su Xia suddenly thought - would the other party take advantage of the opposite psychology, and the more unlikely the place is to take action, the more likely it is to take action?
In this world, there are many famous people who were assassinated by killers in broad daylight.
Thinking of this, Su Xia remained vigilant and did not relax at all.
He continued walking forward, his steps steady.
Soon, the alley was coming to an end, but the opponent still did not make a move.
"strangeness……"
Su Xia had no way of judging and could only move forward silently, ready to take action at any time.
…
Just behind him, about one hundred and fifty meters away, at the end of the alley, at the corner.
The four of them stared at Su Xia's back with cold eyes, watching him walk further and further away.
“Boss, why didn’t you let me take action just now?” The youngest of the four whispered, “Just give me five seconds and I’ll be able to kill that damn thing!”
"Haha, the fourth guy still can't do it. If it were me, three seconds would be enough!" said another person.
"Third brother, fourth brother, stop arguing and listen to the eldest brother first!"
"That's right, Boss, tell me, why don't you let us take action?"
All three of them turned their heads and looked at the oldest man and asked.
The man looked calm as he handed a dark green leaflet to the third member of the team and said, "Take a look at this leaflet. You are not stupid and should be able to understand it."
"Isn't this the one that the little guy stuck here? Let me take a look..."
The other two gathered around, stared at the flyer in the third brother's hand, and read the words on it one by one.
After reading it, the brothers immediately understood what the boss meant.
"Someone wants to challenge Su Xia!" said the third brother.
"They even distributed flyers in small alleys like this, which shows that they put a lot of effort into it."
"It seems that Su Xia's enemy is no pushover and possesses no less power than he does."
"What should we do?"
A few people threw down the flyers and looked at the team leader again.
The oldest middle-aged man looked calm as he watched Su Xia disappear around the corner of the alley. He said indifferently, "The other party should advertise like this, which shows that he has great confidence and has made sufficient preparations. He will definitely embarrass Su Xia!"
"Boss, should we let the other party act first?" asked the fourth brother.
"Yes, killing Su Xia like this would be too easy for him. Let's watch him fail first, and then kill him after he is ruined!"
"That's right!"
"Let's do it!"
The few of them agreed and immediately put away their murderous intent, intending to watch Su Xia fail in this challenge.
…
At this moment, Su Xia was thinking.
After he entered the alley, the murderous gazes behind him disappeared, which made him very puzzled.
Has the other party given up?
Or did something unexpected happen?
Su Xia sent out several groups of nanorobots, saw the four people in the alley before, heard part of their conversation, and immediately understood what these people were planning.
"So you want to see me ruined. That's a good idea."
He nodded slightly, relaxed his body a little, took a quick step, and continued walking towards the pharmacy.
Along the way, I met more and more acquaintances and the intervals between greetings became more frequent.
There was only a short distance left to the pharmacy. If nothing went wrong, Su Xia would be able to get back to the store in a few minutes.
But at this moment, his private message suddenly flashed and a dialog box popped up.
Li Defu: "Brother Su, are you not in the pharmacy now?"
Su Xia replied: "Yeah, I'm just hanging out outside, what's wrong? Are you guys coming to buy some goods?"
"Brother Su, listen to me, don't go back for the time being!" Li Defu said hurriedly.
"Why?" Su Xia asked him.
"That Sijidao guy is in your store. He brought an old man and a bunch of reporters from news media. I don't know what he wants to do. I always feel that he has bad intentions." Li Defu sent Su Xia a screenshot, and the picture showed a pharmacy.
Su Xia clicked on the picture and enlarged it.
The old street outside the pharmacy was filled with media vehicles from various news media companies. The media people were all holding cameras and pointing them at the pharmacy, but no one knew what they were filming.
Sijidao sat in the shop with his master, looking like customers with confident smiles on their faces.
Opposite Sijidao were the two brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, both with grim looks on their faces.
"Oh, this is a simple matter. Sijidao wants to challenge me and let me fail once. It's no big deal." Su Xia replied.
"You call this simple? Brother Su, you can't be too calm!" Li Defu said hurriedly.
"Strange, you guys don't know? Flyers are flying everywhere now." Su Xia asked him, "Aren't you usually more informed than me?"
"This... I just came online and I'm not in school now."
"Why, is there anything going on outside of school?"
"Li Sihua met a girl, and today was the day they were going to meet offline. We were worried that he might get cheated, so we all followed him. But since we thought you were busy, Brother Su, we didn't invite you," Li Defu explained.
"Oh, no wonder."
Su Xia understood that Li Defu should be logging in using his mobile phone.
He asked calmly, "What does the girl look like? Do you have anything in common with Li Sihua?"
"It's already this late, and Brother Su, you still care about this?" Li Defu was a little anxious.
"Of course I have to care about my roommate's lifelong event." Su Xia said calmly.
"Brother Su, you'd better think about how to deal with Sijidao first. That guy's master is a fifth-level pharmacist. He brought so many media reporters to the pharmacy today. It's obvious that he wants to embarrass you!" Li Defu made an analysis, his words full of worry.
At the same time, the avatars of several other roommates lit up one after another, and they all entered the game.
Su Xia noticed that even Li Sihua's profile picture lit up.
He immediately asked, "Why is even Si Hua online? Where is that girl?"
"Love is not as important as games!" Li Sihua said firmly, "Brother Su, let's get through this first, and then consider other things."
"That won't do. Si Hua, log off immediately." Su Xia sent a voice message in an unquestionable tone.
In the dormitory, he seldom gives direct orders to a roommate, but today was an exception.
"What should we do with that Sijidao guy?" Li Sihua asked worriedly.
"A bunch of chickens and dogs, what are you afraid of?"
Su Xia looked calm and didn't take the matter to heart at all. He felt that his roommates ' reactions were too much.
After hearing what he said, the other roommates felt more confident.
At his urging, Li Sihua finally went offline, but he said that he would keep an eye on the developments in the game at any time, and would go online to support the situation if he saw that the situation was not right.
At the same time, Li Defu and others began to contact the rest of the alliance members.
"I'm going to go find Snow, Bing Lei and the others, and call them all over. If that bastard Sijidao wants to use his power to bully others, then we'll fight him back!"
Several people hoped that Su Xia would wait a little longer and not go to the pharmacy for the time being. They would go back together when they were fully prepared.
But Su Xia didn't care and continued to move forward.
At this point, there is no need to wait any longer. The longer you wait, the less confident you will be.
Being afraid before the battle is not a good sign.
"I'll go back first, you can come anytime."
Su Xia sent a message, then closed the dialog box and walked towards the pharmacy in the morning sun.
As soon as he walked into the old street where the shop was located, many people noticed him.
At the entrance of the store, media cameras immediately turned to Su Xia.
"It's him, Master Su!"
"After waiting for so long, he finally showed up!"
"I thought he would never come back..."
Under the gazes of countless people, Su Xia walked towards the pharmacy step by step with a calm expression.
There was no sign of nervousness on his face. He seemed to have no idea what was going on. He was even in the mood to say hello to the neighbors on both sides of the old street.
Opposite the store, Mr. Zhao, the restaurant owner, had a worried look on his face and opened his mouth as if he wanted to remind someone.
But there are so many media here, and anything he says could be used by someone with ulterior motives to attack Su Xia, so he dared not say anything.
"Are you finally brave enough to show up?"
In the shop, Sijidao smiled, stood up from his seat, walked out of the shop door, and faced Su Xia from a distance.
"Su Xia, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
