The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 175 An eye for an eye

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, He Yuzhu immediately stood up and responded, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

It seems they are trying to find the person Yi Zhonghai mentioned.

Li Qin noticed that when He Yuzhu jumped out, a satisfied smile flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

They seemed very satisfied with He Yuzhu's behavior.

However, he continued, "Pillar, sit down and listen to me."

He Yuzhu, who had just looked ready to take action at any moment, immediately nodded after hearing Yi Zhonghai's words and then obediently sat back down.

Seeing this scene, Li Qin felt, for some reason, as if he were seeing a pet dog.

To be honest, Li Qin sometimes really admired Yi Zhonghai for being able to tame He Yuzhu so obediently.

Just as he was lost in thought, Yi Zhonghai spoke up again;

"We all live in the same courtyard, so we should give people a chance to correct their mistakes."

I hope this person will take the initiative to step forward, admit their mistake, and actively correct it under the supervision of others.

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd.

When his gaze swept over Li Qin, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

At this point, Li Qin was certain that the person Yi Zhonghai was referring to was him.

However, unless the other party points it out, he pretends not to know.

If he were to step forward now, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting what Yi Zhonghai had just said?

That won't do.

At this moment, everyone's eyes kept glancing at the people around them, as if they were also trying to find the person Yi Zhonghai was talking about.

But after thinking for a long time, they still couldn't find anyone who matched Yi Zhonghai's description.

Everyone then turned their attention back to Yi Zhonghai.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that no one spoke up or stepped forward, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately showed disappointment.

"Originally, considering that we all lived in the same courtyard, I wanted to give this person a chance and hoped that he would take the initiative to step forward."

It seems this person is stubbornly unrepentant, so there's nothing we can do.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai suddenly turned his gaze to Li Qin, his eyes sharpening:

"Li Qin, come to the front."

Li Qin had long suspected that Yi Zhonghai was targeting him, but until the matter was clarified, he still clung to a sliver of hope.

I hope I'm just overthinking it.

Yi Zhonghai wasn't really targeting him.

Now that Yi Zhonghai had called him by name, Li Qin knew that things were very clear.

This entire college meeting was held specifically to see him.

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai call out Li Qin's name, the reactions of the crowd varied:

Several old men in charge sat calmly at the top, looking at Li Qin with indifferent eyes.

As for the surrounding residents, some looked incredulous, some looked doubtful, some looked puzzled, and some even sneered.

Those like He Yuzhu had a sinister sneer flashing in their eyes.

To Li Qin's surprise, he saw worry and concern in Xu Damao's eyes.

Xu Damao is very smart.

He knew very well that Yi Zhonghai's previous words were extremely serious.

If it were actually nailed to one's body, it could have a significant impact on one's reputation.

Previously unaware that Yi Zhonghai was targeting Li Qin, Xu Damao assumed it was referring to an unrelated person and could be completely disregarded.

Now that he knows the person being targeted is Li Qin, he is naturally a little worried.

Li Qin first gave Xu Damao a reassuring look.

He then slowly stood up;

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Li Qin did not stand in front as Yi Zhonghai had instructed, but instead stood still, looking at Yi Zhonghai with an indifferent expression.

Upon seeing Li Qin's expression, Yi Zhonghai's eyes immediately revealed dissatisfaction.

But before he could speak, Liu Haizhong suddenly slammed his hand on the table:

"Li Qin, didn't you hear me tell you to stand at the front? You should know that we're here to discuss your issues."

"Look at your attitude now! I don't think you've even realized your mistake."

Upon hearing this, Li Qin's expression turned cold.

He glanced coldly at Liu Haizhong, then at Yi Zhonghai, and finally at the man who remained silent.

But Yan Bugui's eyes were fixed on watching the show.

Li Qin immediately knew that this meeting was probably initiated by Yi Zhonghai, but he had already consulted with the other two managers beforehand.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai spoke again:

"Second Uncle is right, Li Qin, you need to correct your attitude. We are helping you realize your mistakes."

"You quickly step forward."

Yi Zhonghai's words seemed to be for Li Qin's benefit, but Li Qin saw through his sinister intentions clearly.

What would it look like if he stood in front?

Was it a denunciation or a trial?

Although he had long been aware of the disgusting nature of these people, he had not experienced it firsthand, so he did not have a deep feeling about it. This time, however, Li Qin truly felt it.

Li Qin, who had traveled through time, naturally wouldn't tolerate it.

Li Qin immediately looked at the three old men above with disdain;

"Error? Problem? You three stewards of the courtyard are really something, you just open your mouths and you've already slapped such a big label on me."

I'd like to ask you, what makes you think you can? Is it just your mouths, or the fact that you've eaten for decades longer?

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Among them, the three old men at the top had the most unpleasant expressions.

Liu Haizhong glared angrily at Li Qin.

If Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied with Li Qin before, it was only because Li Qin moved to the backyard but did not follow the proper etiquette to visit him, his second uncle.

Now, Liu Haizhong's dissatisfaction with Li Qin is growing stronger.

Because Li Qin showed absolutely no respect for these old men.

This is something he cannot accept.

You should know that Liu Haizhong had always dreamed of becoming an official, but he never had the chance.

Therefore, he could only satisfy his vanity by using the identity of the second uncle in the courtyard house.

"Boom!"

Liu Haizhong slammed his hand on the table again:

"Li Qin, how dare you!"

"You ask us why? Well, I'll tell you why:"

Just because the three of us are the courtyard house managers appointed by the street office, if we say you have a problem, then you have a problem.

When we say you've made a mistake, you've made a mistake.

As Liu Haizhong spoke these words, his face full of anger, he strangely exuded a rather extraordinary aura.

At least the surrounding residents were intimidated by Liu Haizhong.

However, this does not include Li Qin.

At this moment, the disdain on his face grew even stronger.

This made Liu Haizhong's expression even more gloomy.

"Clap clap clap!"

Li Qin suddenly started clapping, his eyes full of amusement;

"So you're the steward, sir? You really have quite the airs of authority. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were emperors who could control everything."

They even said whoever has a problem has a problem, whoever makes a mistake makes a mistake. You guys are even more powerful than the old instructor!

Li Qin's tone was not serious, and his voice was not loud.

But after he spoke, everyone present changed their expressions.
