After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 216 Application Failed

"How could I lie to you? I just brought you some delicious food." Nan Qiao said with a smile.

Then he took out various snacks such as spicy strips and small bread from his pocket and fed them to Qinglong. Qinglong squinted his eyes in enjoyment as he ate.

Seeing this scene, netizens were shocked and posted comments one after another, "Qinglong actually likes to eat junk food, this is too cute a contrast."

Some people began to mock Muziguo netizens: "Didn't you say this was a special effect? ​​This is more real than the dumbfounded reporters next to it. Let's see what you think!"

"Who in the world can make special effects like this? I'll wash my hair upside down!"

Muziguo netizens were speechless for a moment. Some were silent, while others continued to argue: "This must have been pre-trained. It's all a scam."

But the confidence is clearly insufficient.

At the Lan family's side, Lan Zhiming glared at Jiang Peishan, "You're so soft-hearted, you finally realize how short-sighted you are!"

Lan Yuchen and Lan Hanwen didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with Lan Zhiming's statement.

When Jiang Peishan saw Qinglong being so human and interacting so closely with Nanqiao, regret surged in her heart like a tide.

She realized how stupid she was to treat Nan Qiao.

Her legs softened and she fell onto the sofa, her eyes empty as she muttered to herself, "What have I done..."

"This isn't my fault alone. You're also responsible. If it weren't for your acquiescence and support, would I have been able to make Nan Qiao hate our Lan family?"

After hearing what Jiang Peishan said, Lan Zhiming frowned even more, a hint of anger on his face: "You're still quibbling! If you hadn't been so obstructive in the beginning, how could things have developed to this point today?"

Lan Yuchen sighed softly, walked forward and said, "Mom and Dad, now is not the time to blame each other."

"Nan Qiao's current status is someone we cannot afford to offend. We should think about how to make up for our past mistakes. Perhaps there is still a chance to rebuild our relationship with her."

Lan Hanwen nodded in agreement, "Brother, you're right. Since Nan Qiao has such a deep connection with the four sacred beasts, she will surely play a vital role in protecting cultural treasures and other matters in the future. She is also a talent that the country is focusing on."

"If our Lan family can gain her forgiveness, perhaps we can participate in it, which can be regarded as finding a new path for the family's development."

Jiang Peishan raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry. "But how could she easily forgive us for what we did to her back then? She's in such a high position now, will she still look down on our Lan family?"

Lan Zhiming was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No matter what the result is, we have to try."

"Let's send someone to express our apology and sincerity first and see how she reacts. It's better than just sitting back and watching our family miss out on such a rare opportunity."

At this time, the popularity in the live broadcast room continued to rise.

The interaction between Nan Qiao and Qing Long continued. Qing Long seemed not to have eaten enough. He nuzzled Nan Qiao with his huge head and said coquettishly, "Little girl, do you have anything else to eat? These are not enough to fill our stomachs."

Nan Qiao smiled helplessly: "These are enough, I will bring you more next time."

This scene once again sparked heated discussions among netizens, with netizens in the Flower Country saying: "Nan Qiao is simply a god-like existence, to be so close to Qinglong."

"This picture is so adorable. The four mythical beasts are no longer distant legends, but appear vividly before our eyes."

Some netizens in Muzi Country also began to waver and no longer believed it was fake as firmly as before, but there were still some stubborn people who insisted on their own opinions and engaged in heated debates with netizens in Zhonghua Country on the Internet.

Here, in the solemn and sacred hall of UNESCO, Muziguo’s application for intangible cultural heritage finally came to fruition.

The officials of Muzi Kingdom had solemn expressions on their faces as they set up live broadcast equipment on one side of the hall. Their heartbeats kept accelerating in the tense atmosphere because the result would determine the gains and losses of the country's cultural glory.

When the chairman of the jury stood up, the entire hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The chairman began to read out the review results in a calm and clear voice: "After a long period of in-depth research, careful evaluation, and multiple rounds of expert discussions, we have to make the decision to reject Muziguo's application for intangible cultural heritage status."

When the officials of Muzi Kingdom heard this, the expressions on their faces froze instantly, and then turned into disbelief and extreme astonishment.

Official A impulsively stepped forward and demanded loudly, "How is this possible? We put a tremendous amount of effort into this application, and all the supporting documentation is perfect. Why was it rejected?"

The chairman of the jury raised his head slightly, gazing calmly and firmly at the officials of Muzi Country, and said slowly, "During the review process, we discovered a key issue."

"In the application materials submitted by Muzi Nation, they claim to have exclusive cultural heritage and proof of ownership of the four sacred beasts."

"However, the Flower Country has demonstrated convincing evidence that the four mythical beasts truly exist within its territory and have a deep cultural context and protective system."

"There is a direct conflict and contradiction between the two. The recognition of intangible cultural heritage must be based on authentic, unique and non-controversial cultural roots."

"It's clear that Muzi Nation and Zhonghua Nation cannot reach an agreement on the ownership of the four sacred beasts, and Zhonghua Nation's presentation is more intuitive and convincing, so we can only regretfully reject Muzi Nation's application."

The officials of Muzi Kingdom stood there in a daze, their minds in chaos, and their pride and expectations collapsed in an instant.

The live broadcast footage was quickly transmitted back to the country. The people of Muzi Country were also shocked and outraged after hearing the news. Various voices of questioning, anger and frustration were heard one after another on the Internet.

The officials from Muzi Country lost their patience and stood up, saying, "The images of the mythical beasts being broadcast by the Flower Country must be fake. It doesn't make sense at all. How could such a thing exist in modern society?"

"Don't be fooled by them!"

A senior judge on the jury calmly responded: "Our review process is fair and transparent, with strict basis and standards for every step."

"Regarding your doubts about the Flower Country, we will arrange for professionals to verify and investigate. If their mythical beast project is proven to be false, Muzi Country can resubmit its application later."

"But if it is authentic and meets the requirements of intangible cultural heritage, then according to regulations, Muziguo can submit another application."

After hearing this, the officials looked at each other with unwillingness and helplessness in their eyes, and the netizens of Muziguo before the live broadcast were also caught in an uproar and heated debate.
