Chapter 66: You're really great!

  "Heh heh, boss if I said I was reading a book, you definitely wouldn't believe me. What do you want me to say then? Besides, I didn't damage your books anyway."

  Chen Pengpeng said with a wronged expression to the boss of the bookstore. This made it difficult for him to explain, and the people who were reading books also put down their books and gathered around to join in on the excitement. They too wanted to know what this young man had been doing all afternoon, these people really feared that the world would not be chaotic enough!

  "How can I trust you? Reading a book isn't just about reading a book, I think you have an ulterior motive! Alright, if everyone present says you're reading a book, I won't pursue it. Otherwise, you must give me an explanation!"

  The owner of the bookstore started to suspect him. Now he thinks that Chen Pengpeng is more and more like a thief with ulterior motives, and he will not let him go no matter what. Chen Pengpeng was so wronged! What's going on here? Is it also a crime to come out and read books? This is really unlucky, people are declining and it's all different!

  "Uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers, I ask you all to be my witnesses, I'm really grateful for the little book!"

  Chen Pengpeng didn't know how to explain it to the bookstore owner, so he could only stretch out his hand towards the crowd of onlookers, hoping they would help him. But as soon as Chen Pengpeng spoke, the surrounding crowd seemed to pretend they hadn't heard anything, neither responding nor dispersing. This caused three black lines to appear on Chen Pengpeng's forehead - what was going on?

  "Kid, look around, no one here is willing to vouch for you. How can I trust you? You'd better come with me to the police station and explain yourself!"

  The owner of the bookstore looked at Chen Peng. Now he was certain that Chen Peng was a thief, if not, how could someone read so many books in one afternoon? This would make anyone suspicious.

  "I'm telling you, boss, what do you want me to say? I'll bet on it, you don't believe me, right? Alright, you can pick any book from your store to test me, including all the student textbooks!"

  Chen Pengpeng felt annoyed when he heard the bookstore owner's words, and he started arguing with the owner. He was clearly just reading a book! Now it seems like the other person suspects him of being a thief. Chen Pengpeng must counterattack, or else he would be treated like a sick cat if he didn't speak up.

  "Hmmph! You're quite arrogant, aren't you? Alright, let me take a closer look at you. Do you still have the guts to spout such big talk?! I didn't expect someone as handsome as you would be so shameless!"

  The owner of the bookstore was so angry with Chen Peng that he couldn't help but scold him, where is the reason not to be angry? He finished speaking and went to the nearby bookshelf, picked up a high school entrance examination material at random, and walked towards Chen Peng.

  "Kid, you're quite capable, aren't you? Alright then, solve this industry problem for me!"

  The bookstore owner finished speaking and handed over the pen and paper to Zhen Pengpeng. Today, the bookstore owner was determined to see how this little guy would make a fool of himself.

  "I don't want the pen and paper, later you'll ask me for money for the pen and paper, but I don't have any money to give you, I'm very poor. I'll just tell you the answer directly, then you can just write it down."

  Chen Pengpeng finished speaking and began to recite the answers to the questions in the textbook one by one. At first, the bookstore owner thought Chen Pengpeng was just lucky, but as he continued to give correct answer after correct answer, the owner flipped through the entire book. Meanwhile, the crowd watching from the side couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at this handsome young man, who had truly broadened their horizons today.

  "Kid, you've already gone to college, right? Otherwise, how could you have answered this high school question so easily without even thinking about it?"

  The bookstore owner was also a bit nervous at this time. He couldn't believe that there was such an awesome person in the world, and that was the answer he came up with out of thin air! Without even using a draft on paper, who wouldn't be shocked?

  "I told you, didn't I? You can test me on any book in your store and I'll be fine! Don't ask me anything else, what can I do if you don't believe me when I say I'm reading a book?"

  Chen Pengpeng was indeed puzzled. He had been mistaken for a thief by everyone today, what good explanation could he have? He could only use his skills to prove everything.

  "Alright! Alright! Alright! You young fellow just wait for me, I'll go find some books and test you!"

  The bookstore owner was about to be driven mad, and without saying a word, he went to the bookshelf again and picked out several books on university philosophy, ancient literature, and even psychology. He really wanted to stump Chen Pengpeng this time, and everyone in the store widened their eyes when they saw the books the owner had brought out. Is this what you call testing someone? It's clearly just making things difficult for them! But the bookstore owner didn't care about other people's opinions, and he opened the book on the spot and started asking Chen Pengpeng questions. Chen Pengpeng remained calm and composed, like a still lake, and no matter what the owner asked him, he was able to answer correctly. The crowd in the store applauded continuously for him, while the bookstore owner's forehead was covered in sweat, and despite the air conditioning in the room, he couldn't bear the tense atmosphere, and his whole body was drenched in sweat. When the owner finished asking Chen Pengpeng all the questions from the books he had brought out, his entire body began to tremble with fear. Chen Pengpeng saw him like this and couldn't help but laugh inwardly - he could finally show off.

  "Wow! Young man, how many years have you been reading? Looking at your young age, you've actually learned to be wealthy and knowledgeable, it really makes me admire you!"

  An old man couldn't help but come up and ask when he saw Chen Pengpeng was so fierce. Today, Chen Pengpeng's move really opened his eyes wide and sincerely admired him from the bottom of his heart!

  "Hey, I'm a third-year student at Zhugeng High School. You know the college entrance exam is just around the corner? I felt that I couldn't find a better way to study in class, so I came out to look for what I wanted to review! But you all misunderstood me."

  Chen Pengpeng replied to the old man's words as a matter of fact. He himself was a high school student, and if they still didn't believe him, he could just let them go to his school to verify it, Chen Pengpeng wouldn't be surprised at all.

  "Kid, you're really great! I've got high hopes for you! Even PhD students wouldn't be able to answer today's questions with confidence, but you nailed them all. It's truly unbelievable! I think this year's top scorer in the college entrance exam will definitely be you!"

  This old man is indeed a connoisseur. He is also a book lover, and he must be a cultured person. Today, let him witness this wonderful scene with his own eyes, and admire Chen Pengpeng's talent. Now, people like Chen Pengpeng who are so cultured are very rare.

  "Grandpa, don't praise me anymore, I'll blush if you do."

  Zhenpeng said shamelessly. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter, and the owner of the bookstore saw the atmosphere at this time, and his tense mood also eased a lot.

  "That little fellow, I just misunderstood you, please don't mind, I apologize to you here!"

  The owner of the bookstore originally wanted to call Zhen Pengpeng "little kid", but others called the handsome young man in front of him "young man", and he had no choice but to follow suit, even saying it with a pleased expression. This shows that the owner of the bookstore is still a decent person, and Zhen Pengpeng didn't want to make things too difficult for him either.

  "Haha, never mind. I always think I'm looking for trouble when nothing's wrong! What time is it now? I just forgot the time while reading a book."

  Chen Peng touched his own occipital bone and said with a hint of embarrassment. The owner of the bookstore saw Chen Peng and had no intention of arguing with him, so he immediately relaxed.

  "Haha, I didn't expect a young man like you to be such an avid reader! Today I've gained some insight, it's now 6 o'clock in the afternoon."

  The bookstore owner laughed loudly and said, "Now that I see Chen Peng is so easy to talk to and has become more outgoing. He's not one to hold grudges, and since others don't mind, he naturally won't dwell on what happened earlier either."

  "Oh? It's already six o'clock, I have to run! Hope Xiaofeng doesn't send a message!"

  Chen Peng let out a loud cry and immediately pulled his legs back to run outside. The crowd saw how tense he was and burst into laughter again.

  "Hey young man, hope you come back to my store again! I welcome you anytime!"

  The bookstore owner shouted loudly at the distant Chen Pengpeng. He didn't care if he heard or not, and as soon as he finished speaking, he burst out laughing, thinking that he had met an interesting guy today.

  In the mountains outside C City, the Mu Rong family's hidden mansion was filled with people. Everyone was chattering about something. Before long, a middle-aged man flew in from the entrance of the cave and landed steadily on the dragon chair. This person was the master of the Mu Rong family, Mu Rong Hai. As soon as he appeared, the noisy cave suddenly became quiet. They were waiting for the master to speak.

  "Is everyone here? Now let's discuss how our Murong family should counter the enemy's revenge. Although I know they don't know our current hiding place, I know that one day he will definitely come to our doorstep himself. So we must make sufficient preparations! Even if the other party is from the Xiu Zhen realm, we absolutely cannot back down and must vow to protect our Murong family with our lives!"

  Murong Hai spoke passionately to the crowd sitting below the cave, "I clearly know that my Murong family will be in danger of extinction, but I can't just sit and wait for death. I'll start to rally the young men of the Murong family to fight against the invaders together."

  "Right!"

  "Right!"

  "Right!"

  "We swear to protect our Murong family with our lives! We swear to protect our Murong family with our lives!"

  ......

  Everyone's heart was ignited by Murong Hai's words, and a burst of cheers echoed through the cave. Murong Hai looked at the excited crowd below, his own heart racing with excitement! His hand clenched into a fist, he was waiting for someone to come and take revenge on him, he had mentally prepared himself, even if it meant fighting with all his might, he would not let anyone who came to invade get away easily.
