His avoidance of fighting was inevitably seen as weakness.

Zhang Yi shrugged. "Let them think whatever they want. It's none of my business."

Zhang Yi is not the kind of person who would take risks just to save face.

How much is face worth?

Deng Shentong crossed his legs, rubbed his slender fingers, and said slowly:

"It won't be that simple. If you don't accept the challenge, Li Changgong will find ways to force you to fight."

"I've heard of that guy. He's ambitious and resourceful."

"He chose to duel you in Shengjing this time, and it wasn't an impulse."

"Revenge for his brother is one reason, and it's his best reason. But establishing authority by suppressing you is also his goal."

"After all, a man under forty years old became the commander of a region, relying purely on his military prowess and his father's connections. But in the Northwest Region, there must be many people who are dissatisfied."

"A new official has three fires to start with, and he intends to burn you with this fire."

Zhang Yi raised his head and glanced at Deng Shentong, thinking: He is indeed from a big family, he has a hundred tricks in his mind.

"He wants to start a fire, but I'm not dry wood. Be careful, or you'll get burned!"

Deng Shentong looked at Zhang Yi seriously. "So he'll try every possible way to force you to attack, but you absolutely can't accept it."

"He planned this fight with you carefully to establish his authority. But you were completely unprepared. As soon as you accepted the attack, you were already at a disadvantage."

Zhang Yi thought to himself: Li Changgong thinks he knows me well, so he is full of confidence. But if he thinks so, he has already fallen into inferiority.

"I will try to avoid fighting."

Zhang Yi said.

Everyone listened silently. No one else could interrupt at this moment, and worried expressions were written on their faces.

Zhang Yi saw that the atmosphere was a little tense and suddenly laughed.

"Alright, alright, you don't have to worry. I'll take care of this problem. You came to Shengjing to relax. Aunt Zhou, lead the team and take everyone out for a walk!"

Under Zhang Yi's persuasion, Zhou Haimei still took the girls in her family out for a trip.

Lu Keren was a little hesitant. She felt that she should stay with Zhang Yi at this time. Even if she couldn't help him share his worries, companionship was the most lasting protection.

Zhou Haimei leaned close to her ear and said, "We won't be able to help if we stay. Instead, it will make Zhang Yi feel guilty. We should go out and walk around as he wants. That will make him feel better."

Lu Keren just realized what was going on, and he followed Zhou Haimei, and the group left talking and laughing.

Men are all stubborn creatures.

Zhang Yi said that he didn't care about face, but that was simply because he would not put himself in danger for the sake of face.

But he had agreed to bring his family here to play, but as soon as he arrived in Shengjing, he was publicly provoked. Of course, he was in a very bad mood.

At this time, what he needs is not the comfort of his family, but trust.

The women in the family were all very smart, so they left the villa one after another, leaving only Zhang Yi and Deng Shentong behind.

Fatty Xu had no interest in going out to see the scenery, so he simply took his game console, went outside, found a seat next to a big red pillar, and then concentrated on solving the levels.

He was so focused on playing that he didn't notice someone appeared behind him.

Li Yangyang was standing behind him, head down, staring intently at him - the game console in his hand.

After a long time, Fatty Xu's game console screen suddenly went black.

Fatty Xu's face turned pale with anger: "Ahhh! I can definitely pass this time, why is the battery out?"

"The north is much colder than the south. Even if you have a warm cover, you still need a backup power supply."

A gentle voice sounded behind Fatty Xu, and then a white-gloved hand holding a power bank was handed to him.
