Chapter 472 – Challenge Accepted
Sima Lang: ”This is the jest of it, your majesty.”
After obtaining the challenge from Guan Yu, Sima Lang reported the urgent news to Tong and everyone in the clan chat right away. He told Tong about the assassination order from Liu Bei and the duel challenge.
Lu Bu: ”Let me do it! I want a rematch against this red-face again!”
As expected, Lu Bu was itching for a fight against a worthy opponent.
Tong: ”Nah. He's my prey. I'm bored with sparring against my wife. Let me fight against a real opponent, or I'll get rusty.”
Lu Bu: ”If you're getting rusty, I'll be glad to grind the shit out of you when I'm free.”
Tong: ”Nope! You have that REGEN skill now, while I don't!”
Lu Bu: ”Don't be a coward. I fought you when you still had this skill! Now, it's my turn to fight you while you don't have a cheat skill!”
Diaochan: ”If you want to fight that much, I'll be your opponent.”
After Medusa appeared in the conversation, Lu Bu stopped texting as he knew that he would never be this demoness's opponent. Moreover, getting beaten by a woman was humiliating, so he chose not to fight her again.
Tong: ”Tell Guan Yu that I accept his challenge. Let him stay in that city for a few days.”
Sima Lang: ”Understood, your majesty. When will you be arriving?”
Tong: ”Tomorrow. Let me prepare myself for a night. This will give him enough time to be in his best shape, so no matter what the result is, he can't complain.”
It was settled that Tong accepted Guan Yu's challenge, but none of them had placed any stake yet. Everyone guessed that this deal would be decided on the scene, so nobody voiced their opinion.
Still, Sima Yi and Sima Fang were concerned about their family member's safety.
Sima Fang: ”Did he harm you, Boda?”
Sima Lang: ”No. He's a virtuous man as the rumor. He didn't harm me or my subordinates.”
Sima Yi: ”Why the heck did you meet that guy before you report to us!? You could have just texted a few words, and a dozen generals will be there to deal with Guan Yu!”
Sima Lang: ”I'm sorry. I jumped the gun, and I panicked.”
Sima Fang: ”Control your emotion and breathing whenever you deal with an important task next time. Remember, if you are not calm, you are as good as dead. Anger is a contagious disease that will make you inflict harm to others or make them angry at you. Hatred is a source of anger and illogical judgment. Panicking is a reaction of an untrained and uneducated peasant. Hesitation and indecisiveness come when you lack courage and knowledge. Cowardice appears when you lack self-confidence. The lack of self-confidence shows when you lack practice and experience. The lack of practice only comes when you are lazy! And laziness only appears in your thoughts when you are selfish! Think about what you lack, Boda!”
As usual, Sima Fang lectured his son using the clan chat again. Even Tong felt like he got the sermon from this minister, too.
Sima Yi: ”That's right, father. If your physical body suffers, your mind is lacking. If your mind suffers, your body is lacking. If your body and mind are suffering, you lack money, women, beers, and vodka! Get your ass to a red-light district or go find a wife, my brother! I'll send a few boxes of my good vodka to Ji in a month or two!”
Everybody: ”…”
Not only all elite strategists were speechless by Sima Yi's silly proverbs, but Zhuge Liang was also confused by this logic.
Zhuge Liang: ”WTF was that, senior?”
Sima Yi: ”A profound thought of a genius scholar, brat.”
At this moment, every member of the clan chat laughed as they predicted that this foul mouth upstart strategist would get himself into trouble again soon.
Even the old snake, Jia Xu, could not stop snickering and held back his laughter.
Xun Yu, who was in the middle of retelling the clan messages to Cao Cao, had to stop and laughed.
Everybody waited for the promised message from a certain individual.
'Is this idiot blind? Isn't his father's comment right fucking there?'
'Wait for it.'
'That fool did it again.'
'Daddy's sermon in 3…2…1…'
>
It did not take long for Sima Fang to press ENTER and sent another sermon message.
Sima Fang: ”Son, I'm glad that you're exploring the world for enlightenment. But if I remember correctly, vodka is a restricted product that his majesty has stopped distributing due to the highly toxic level of alcohol. How did you acquire ”a few boxes” of those, I wonder?”
Sima Yi: ”…”
At this moment, someone realized that his tongue or fingers had slipped yet again.
Sima Yi's face drenched in sweat as if a waterfall located on the top of his crown.
Sima Fang: ”I guess that I haven't trained you as much as Boda. I'll be visiting you again next month, and I'll shift my administration headquarters to Ganling, so I can get more time with you.”
