Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 208 The much-anticipated press conference
Gaodu County in Shanxi Province has become extremely lively as the national media has focused their attention on this area.

Countless vehicles surrounded the entrance of the county government office building, blocking the way below - because the Dingbei Army's press conference was held in the conference room on the top floor of the office building, and both teams would answer questions from the media there.

The first to arrive was of course the Flying Dragon Team, after all, this was the Dingbei Army’s home ground.

Zhong Ming, Peng Yifan, Ma Dawei, deputy captain Shen Rui, and the awesome captain Cai Qianlong took their seats in order.

Probably because it was the first time in their lives that they were interviewed by so many media outlets, the four men were all a little reserved and restrained. Only Cai Qianlong was not nervous at all. He even had time to use his mobile phone screen as a mirror and smooth his bangs.

The reporters in the audience were a little helpless: Although this is your Feilong team's home court, we actually want to interview the Zhenhai team more.

Why? It’s not because Zhenhai Team has so many beautiful girls, but because they have the most traffic.

You know, even though the two camps are arguing fiercely outside, one side is actually the fans of the Zhenhai Team, while the vast majority of the people on the other side are not fans of the Feilong Team, but the black fans of the Zhenhai Team... This shows which team's interviews and reports are more newsworthy.

"Okay, let's start asking questions," said the host.

After waiting for a while, three or four people raised their hands.

The host randomly picked someone and heard the other person stand up and say:
"Hello, I'm a reporter from Nanchuan Observer. Captain Cai, what do you think of the Zhenhai team? Please evaluate the opponent's strength. Thank you."

Cai Qianlong was about to speak when the host handed the microphone to deputy captain Shen Rui.

"The Zhenhai Team was established before us, so according to the rules, they are actually our predecessors." Shen Rui answered very skillfully, "We will follow the Zhenhai Team's example and strive to show our strength, level, and style this time, showing the people of the whole country the demeanor of a strong army and a strong team."

The reporter did not continue to ask questions, but her expression showed obvious disappointment - this was not the answer she wanted to hear.

Obviously, although the outside world is in an uproar, the attitude of the Dingbei Army leaders behind the Feilong Team is still very clear.

They did not believe what Xiao Heizi said and did not really think that the Feilong Team could compete with the Zhenhai Team. Therefore, they instructed the deputy captain Shen Rui in advance to prepare a balanced response to avoid being involved in the current public opinion dispute.

The host gestured again, and another reporter stood up and said:
"I'm a reporter from Rhino.com. Could you please predict the outcome of this match?"

Cai Qianlong had just opened his mouth when he heard Shen Rui holding the microphone and saying:
"Of course, since we have chosen to join the team, we will have sufficient confidence and fighting spirit for any battle. I believe we will definitely win the final victory."

Here Shen Rui is playing a trick of switching concepts. After all, "I am confident of winning" is a subjective desire, while the reporter's question is based on objective cognitive judgment, that is, "Please analyze whether your team can win."

The reporter was about to continue asking questions when he heard the host say:

"Each media outlet can only answer one question. Please pass the microphone to the reporter behind you."

The reporters continued to ask a few questions, and Shen Rui's answers were indeed flawless. It was obvious that he had already made a plan.

"Any more questions?" The host looked around and nodded silently.

The superiors had already instructed that the Feilong Team should spend as little time answering questions as possible, leaving as much time as possible for the Zhenhai Team behind them. So he was about to select "The Feilong Team's Q&A session ends here" when Cai Qianlong next to him suddenly raised his hand and said:

"I have a question."

Everyone present was stunned: You are not a media reporter, what fucking question do you have!
Cai Qianlong seemed unaware of the crowd's gazes and continued to ask the host:
"The reporter asked me before, why did you give the microphone to Shen Rui?"

It's because they're worried you might say something shocking! The host quickly winked, and Shen Rui and the other team members rushed forward, shouting, "I'll let you speak next time," and "I'll definitely call you next time," as they half-dragged and half-pulled Cai Qianlong away.

Cai Qianlong was helpless and only had time to say "I am the captain!" before he was dragged away from the press conference by his teammates.

The reporters were frantically raising their cameras to take pictures, thinking that the Feilong Team could actually cause such a blunder, and this time there would be no shortage of reporting topics.

As everyone was eagerly anticipating it, the biggest highlight of this event - the Zhenhai Team also lined up to appear. As expected, there was one man and four women. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful, and all of them were good-looking. Everyone started pressing the shutter button frantically before they even sat down.

"Does anyone have any questions?" the host asked, and more than 30 hands shot up from the audience, in stark contrast to the sporadic raise of hands by the Flying Dragon Team before.

This is why the Zhenhai team is so popular nowadays!
The host randomly picked a female reporter, who immediately stood up and said:

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Luguo New Youth. I'd like to ask Captain Yan... well, what do you think about the fact that some people outside are claiming that the Zhenhai Squad is a 'harem squad'? If the captain considers beauty when selecting team members, doesn't this trample on the rights and interests of women in Luguo?"

Yan Yu looked at the other party calmly. He did not see any anger or disgust in the reporter's eyes, but rather a bit of nervousness and uneasiness.

It seems that this is not something she wants to ask, but a task from her superiors.

"Let me remind you," the Dingbei Army host said sternly, "each reporter can only ask one question, and it must be relevant to this competition. Our team can refuse to answer irrelevant questions."

He handed the microphone to Yan Yu, suggesting that he could declare his refusal to answer the question.

Facing the countless cameras and weapons on the scene, Yan Yu smiled slightly and handed the microphone to deputy captain Chen Lingyun.

"Hello, that's an interesting question." Chen Lingyun smiled sweetly. "I think if any beautiful woman joins the team, she'll be considered, or even slandered, as having 'relied on her beauty' to get ahead. This is definitely a violation of the rights and interests of women in Lu Country."

The answer was irrelevant to the question, but it was so clever that the sound of shutter clicks at the scene suddenly increased, almost to the point of being a deafening noise.

The female reporter quickly explained:
"That's not what I meant. What I wanted to ask is..." Before she could even open her mouth, Chen Lingyun ignored her and instructed the host:
"next."

"Please ask this reporter to pass the microphone to the guy in red clothes at the back." The host ordered without hesitation.

The female reporter stopped struggling and passed the microphone to the back row. After the reporter took it, he stood up and asked:

"I'm a reporter from International Express. Captain Yan... well, I'd like to ask Captain Yan, could Deputy Captain Chen please pass the microphone to Captain Yan?"

"Is that your question?" Chen Lingyun smiled. "My answer is yes."

The reporter's eyes immediately widened with a shocked expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

The reporters from other media outlets around were stunned at first, then quickly turned their cameras and took a lot of photos of their colleague who was insulted by Chen Lingyun.

Fortunately, after Yan Yu took over the microphone, he did not ask the reporter who had "finished asking questions" to leave. The reporter was obviously relieved and continued:

"Captain Yan, what do you think of the outside world's opinion that 'the Feilong team has a good chance of winning against the Zhenhai team?'"

"Haha." Yan Yu laughed, "Humor, next one."

Reporters: ???

"Next." The host was the first to react and immediately said, "The lady in yellow in the left row."

The other party took the microphone, stood up and asked:
"May I ask what Team Zhenhai's assessment of Team Feilong's strength is?"

The reporters around all perked up and secretly praised in their hearts: Good question!
Yan Yu's comment on the previous question, "Humorous," suggests he's deeply pessimistic about the Feilong team's abilities... We should dig deeper into this area! Let him say something more shocking and reportable!
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Yan Yu slowly raised the microphone.

Then he handed the microphone to Chen Lingyun next to him.

Reporters: ………………

"The strength of the Flying Dragon Team is undoubtedly unquestionable," Chen Lingyun said with a smile. "Having stood out among so many prospective cultivators nationwide and received approval from the Privy Council to form a team, they are definitely no weaklings. Captain Cai Qianlong once challenged Liu Longtao of the Dingbei Army one-on-one, holding out for over 20 minutes before being defeated. Considering that Liu Longtao is already the top cultivator in the Dingbei Army, it's safe to assume that Cai Qianlong's strength will not be much inferior to his. In short, I'm very much looking forward to this showdown with the Flying Dragon Team."

She winked at the host, who immediately understood and said:

"Alright! Today's press conference ends here. Please leave in an orderly manner."

Although the reporters wanted to dig deeper, the Zhenhai team members had already stood up, so they could only look at each other in confusion.

After everyone left the stage, Lin Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Ouch! I was so nervous! I was holding my breath the whole time! Luckily, no one asked me any questions!"

"You're not worthy." Yan Yu glanced at her.

Lin Ning kicked him.

"Where's Yunjin?" Chen Lingyun asked with a smile, "Are you nervous?"

"No," Su Yunjin said softly, "There was a reporter in the front row who kept taking pictures of me, so I could only smile the whole time."

"I'm not nervous at all." Zhao Yuanzhen laughed, "You guys are too shameless."

"No one asked you." Yan Yu interrupted her.

Zhao Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and thought to himself:

"That little thief ridiculed me in public again today. I give in! And it's not the first or second time. I have to write it all down and settle the score with him someday!"

Thinking of this, another picture appeared in my mind:

On the wedding night, four bridesmaids stood around the chamber: Chen, Su, Lin, and Xie, each holding a wine cup, candlestick, basin, and jade sling. Young official Yan Yu washed his hands in the basin, took the jade sling, and was about to remove his veil when he kicked himself and fell to the ground.

This little thief was also shameless. He crawled over with his hands and feet, holding his legs and shouting, "My dear wife, let me see your beautiful face."

She stepped on his shoulder and said coldly, "Yan, how dare you touch me? Let's settle the accounts of the past few years!"

Hum hum hum huh hahahahahaha~
Zhao Yuanzhen was so engrossed in his thoughts that he suddenly bumped into an equipment box, and was suddenly brought back to reality from his fantasy.

I saw Yan Yu and Chen Lingyun walking side by side in front of me and asked:
"Did you receive the message that Master Jing scolded you?"

"The flight has started in advance." Chen Lingyun said with a happy smile.

"Trash!" Yan Yu commented.

Zhao Yuanzhen was silent for a moment, then quickly caught up with them, inserted himself in the middle as if nothing had happened, and separated the two without saying a word.
