The old Taoist priest, so to speak, seized upon Gu Liang's mindset.
Before Gu Liang could even speak, the surrounding old sect leaders had already chimed in.
"Sect Leader Gu, this old fellow has provoked you repeatedly. Why don't you teach him a good lesson!"
"Exactly, let him know he's not so arrogant anymore!"
"This old fellow is too arrogant. If it were me, I wouldn't stand for it!"
"I certainly wouldn't indulge his bad habits!"
"Who would?"
These old men were clearly enjoying the spectacle and adding fuel to the fire.
To be frank, the journey on the water had become somewhat dull.
They completely treated the situation as a way to relieve their boredom.
"Sect Leader Gu, give him a beating!"
"That's right!"
"We'll cheer you on!"
This way, they could also gauge Gu Liang's true capabilities.
It could be said they had a clever plan in mind.
Naturally, everyone present was an old man and understood that they wouldn't stir without reason... If they urged someone to fight, they must have ulterior motives...
As everyone watched in anticipation, Gu Liang directly declared, "I dare not!"
This declaration surprised the old Taoist priest as well, as if he had misheard.
Damn it...
This old fellow has always been defiant and unhappy with me? The nerve! Now he's just backing down?
The old Taoist priest retorted unhappily, "Old fellow, you're something else. You almost broke my waist!"
Gu Liang shot back, "Why didn't you just die from it?"
The old Taoist priest retorted fiercely again, "Your mouth is truly troublesome. See if I don't tear it off today!"
He prepared to make a move.
Gu Liang directly roared at Chen Fan, "Team Leader, this old fellow is seeking personal revenge!"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's name,
The old Taoist priest immediately became much more subdued and didn't act immediately.
Chen Fan spoke, saying irritably, "You two old fellows are evenly matched. Enough of this nonsensical bickering!"
The old Taoist priest still wore a displeased expression.
He snorted.
Gu Liang didn't continue the conversation.
Because Chen Fan was present, the two of them didn't end up fighting.
The old men around, seeing that no fight broke out, felt bored.
They let out sounds of disdain.
Neither the old Taoist priest nor Gu Liang paid them any mind at that moment.
The cruise ship quickly returned to its original quiet state.
Although these old men chatted and laughed, the reality was that they were united only in appearance.
Everything was merely as it seemed on the surface.
Each harbored their own hidden agendas.
The old Taoist priest, with nothing else to do, pulled Daoist Black Crow to play chess.
They chatted about topics that were rather speechless.
That's right, these two old men were keeping up with the times and even discussed gossip, such as certain celebrities... In short, it was particularly comical.
The other old men listened and inwardly scoffed, questioning what right these two had to be called grandmasters!
It was too ridiculous.
Chen Fan also felt a bit speechless about these two old men. He didn't know how he ended up associating with old men who were either charlatans or troublemakers!
Thinking of this, he felt a bit helpless!
He sighed inwardly...
After a while, the old Taoist priest, on a whim, said, "Little Master, who do you think is the most attractive celebrity in the entertainment industry!"
Chen Fan had no intention of engaging with them and interrupted directly, "I don't know, don't ask me!"
"You..." The old Taoist priest, having been rebuffed, didn't press further.
He was afraid that Chen Fan might get agitated and strike him.
Day after day, the people on the cruise ship were quite amusing...
