The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

Mei Gongming rushed over quickly after receiving the news.

Liu Jingshu rushed forward and couldn't wait to extend an olive branch.

Mei Gongming's face turned serious, like a loyal minister suddenly wearing a mask on the stage, and he refused righteously.

"Oh, ladies, your proposal of a 'talent competition' really puts a rough man like me in a dilemma!

Although I, Mei Gongming, am not talented, I also know that 'it is difficult for a hero to resist the temptation of beauty', but if I fight for favor, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the culture and go against the character of scholars like me?"

He shook his head as he spoke, looking like an old scholar who had just walked out of an ancient academy, so serious that it made people laugh.

"Besides, although I am not as good as Pan An, I know that I am quite pretty. If I really become the 'hot commodity' that you guys are fighting over, wouldn't I become Xi Shi in 'Dong Shi imitating Pin' and be laughed at by others?"

When Mei Gongming said this, he deliberately made a shy and helpless expression, which made everyone present almost burst out laughing.

Liu Jingshu and Liu Yaoyao looked at each other, both with surprise and amusement in their eyes.

They didn't expect that Mei Gongming, who seemed gentle and elegant on weekdays, actually had such a witty and humorous side.

"Haha, Master Mei, you are wrong! We two sisters were just joking and wanted to take this opportunity to get to know each other better. If it really makes you embarrassed, then we will take back our promise."

Liu Jingshu smiled as beautifully as a flower and hurried to smooth things over, but in her heart she secretly admired Mei Gongming's wit and humor.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Mei, please don't blame me. We two sisters just like to make some harmless jokes. Your character and talent are what we really appreciate."

Liu Yaoyao also quickly agreed, her eyes flashing with sincere admiration and respect for Mei Gongming.

However, Liu Jingshu's little calculations did not stop there.

Her eyes, which sparkled with cunning light, turned and she came up with a new plan.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, Mr. Mei is indeed a man of high moral character, worthy of admiration! But, how can we only talk about romance and character in this world? Sister, I have another 'killer move', I wonder if Mr. Mei is willing to listen to it?"

As she spoke, she deliberately kept the audience in suspense and reached into her sleeve to pull out a golden ingot, which shone brightly in the sunlight, as if it could illuminate the entire room.

"Look at this, it's bright yellow and round, it's a gold coin specially made by my Liu family that represents 'wisdom and beauty', and it's given to Master Mei to show our deep respect for his talent.

Of course, if you can do us the honor of communicating with us, these gold coins are just the beginning..."

Mei Gongming was stunned at first, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"This Miss Liu is so direct and bold!"

He coughed lightly and replied in a serious tone: "Ms. Liu, your gold is good, but in my eyes, it is not as good as the persistence and pursuit in your heart. Money is something outside of the body, how can it be used to measure the friendship between people?"

"Oh my, Master Mei is so noble that it makes people envious!

However, sister, this gold of mine is not ordinary gold. It is the key to open the 'door of wisdom'. Maybe it can help you find the 'golden house' and 'beautiful wife' sooner rather than later!"

Liu Jingshu did not give up and continued to seduce Mei Gongming with her eloquent tongue, her words full of seductive humor.

Liu Yaoyao was watching from the side and felt both amused and helpless.

She gently tugged at her sleeve and reminded him.

"Liu Jingshu, please stop it and don't scare Mr. Mei away."

Mei Gongming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He bowed and responded politely but humorously.

"Thank you for your kindness, ladies. Mei appreciates it. But please believe that what I pursue is the pure and sincere friendship, not worldly money and fame. I hope you can understand."

As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of lighthearted laughter suddenly rang out in the room, and even the air was filled with a sense of humor.

Liu Jingshu and Liu Yaoyao didn't say anything, but their admiration for Mei Gongming increased even more.

Mei Gongming waved his hand gracefully, as if bidding farewell to the last peach blossom in spring, bowed deeply, and turned away.

He kept muttering, "Everyone, the mountains remain green and the water flows forever. We will meet again in the future!"

He sounded very romantic and dashing in his words, but he didn't know that there were undercurrents behind him.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Liu Jingshu's lips, that smile contained three parts of cunning and seven parts of determination.

She gently raised her slender hand and, out of sight of everyone, gracefully made a "scissor hand" gesture, as if she was trimming her nails in the air, but in fact she was giving silent orders.

"Hey, passerby, your hidden skills are going to come in handy!"

If there was a narration at this moment, it would definitely be said jokingly like this.

The warrior who was innocently labeled as "Passerby A" looked gloomy, and then as if he had received some mysterious signal, he quietly blended into the gap of the crowd.

It's like a drop of water merging into the sea, but it carries an unknown mission.

Mei Gongming was immersed in the relaxed atmosphere of leaving and had no idea that an invisible net was quietly spreading behind him.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing with it an unusual coolness, followed by a barely perceptible sound of metal collision in the air.

"Oh my, why did the wind suddenly become so sharp?"

Mei Gongming was secretly shocked and was about to turn around to check, but he felt a chill on his wrist, followed by a sharp pain.

He looked down and saw that his right hand had been separated from his body at some point and was lying quietly on the ground, his fingers still in a farewell gesture, as if telling an unfinished farewell.

"This...this plot twist is too ridiculous!"

If Mei Gongming could open his mouth to complain, he would definitely say this.

At this moment, he could only stare at his severed hand with eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief, feeling mixed emotions.
