Chapter 2019: Li Dabai's Glorious Past

Li Dabai pointed at Lu Chengwen: "I said I'm skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting... wait, he disagreed too?!"

Lu Chengwen was in a difficult position.

Zhao Ritian covered his face: "If you're embarrassing yourself, then hit me. If there were no objections, would Lu Chengwen be so embarrassed? Would you be so ashamed?"

Long Aotian scolded, "Ritian! Stand in front of the senior and speak!"

Li Dabai pointed at Lu Chengwen: "Release him!"

Lu Chengwen, looking aggrieved, took out his phone and pointed it at the loudspeaker:

"Although Senior Da Bai is slightly inferior in martial arts, he is proficient in all his other skills, specializes in all of them, reaches the pinnacle in all of them, and is unparalleled among his peers! Take playing chess, for example..."

"He lost miserably, utterly, utterly, utterly! How can one word describe how utterly miserable he was! Back then, when he played chess with Antarctica, he boasted so much that it shook the mountains, even inviting all the masters of the martial arts world to watch, betting on a father-son game with Antarctica. And what happened? Antarctica held back, not even using his full strength, and still won easily. Afterwards, he just dusted himself off and ran away with a woman! Hey, he's the kind of person who can afford to gamble but can't afford to lose, boasting and then cheating—that's him."

Li Dabai's eyelids twitched rapidly!

Antarctica laughed heartily: "Oh dear, I thought everyone in the martial arts world had forgotten about this! Hahahaha! So many years have passed, and people still remember. Ah, today is a good opportunity to let the younger generation in the martial arts world know about our glorious past!"

Li Dabai pointed to the South Pole: "If you don't tell, you won't tell anyone either! Did I give you beef jerky for nothing?!"

"I didn't say that! But quite a few people know about it, and coincidentally, not all of them died, so you can't blame me, can you?"

Li Dabai sat down, loosened his collar, and took a deep breath.

Rose quickly reassured him, "Big White, it's okay, everyone loses a few times in their life..."

After pondering for a few rounds, Li Dabai suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha! Ahahaha..."

Zhao Ritian said, "Your laughter is useless. Everyone is laughing too, but only in their hearts."

Li Dabai glared at him: "I admit, my martial arts are inferior to Hun Tiangang's, and my chess skills are not as good as Brother Nanji's! But!"

He slammed his hand on the table: "Brothers, when you're out in the world of martial arts, you're not after the best kung fu or the best chess! You're after the chivalry, the passion, and the boundless heroism! Sages of the past are all lonely, only drinkers leave their mark. Come on! Let's drink!"

Zhao Ritian interjected again: "You're using drinking to cover up your..."

Lu Chengwen and Long Aotian pushed him together, and Li Dabai grabbed him, wanting to beat him to death.

But when he looked up, he realized everyone was staring at him, and hitting him would be even more embarrassing.

He forced a smile: "I'm the best drinker in the world! No doubt about it! Nobody's leaving today! I'll get all the heroes of the martial world drunk!"

Long Aotian handed over the megaphone: "Shouldn't this be the one?"

Lu Chengwen: "Thank you."

then……

"He was the one who bragged back then, saying he was the best drinker in the world and could go toe-to-toe with the old wine connoisseur! And what happened?"

"He peed, slept, and then drank again after waking up, and he vomited seven times! A total of seven times!"

"The old wine jar advised him to give up, but he thought the old wine jar was also about to die, so he insisted on continuing to fight! As a result, he raised fish in every wine jar."

"He drank too much and started acting crazy. He peed in the pond, saying the whole pond was full of his wine! He jumped in to drink and almost drowned! A group of girls pulled him out. The next day he still denied it, saying he blacked out. Go back and ask him if that's true!"

Li Dabai was sweating profusely!

What's the difference between this and public execution?!

Li Dabai turned his head, waiting for the rat's head.

The rat head had completely lost its previous aura.

He said awkwardly, "I... Lu Chengwen, are you even a human being?!"

Li Dabai looked at Lu Chengwen again and narrowed his eyes.

"Lu Chengwen, don't think I don't know what you're up to! You joined the Jiang family, and now you're trying to force me to stand up for them? You're deliberately playing these little tricks! I'm not falling for it! I'll take responsibility for the Jiang family's problems myself!"

He angrily pointed at the table repeatedly: "That's how his father trained him! And that's how he trained his sons! If the Jiang family gets into trouble, they'll just hide and always think about having a way out. They'll never have a foothold! If they can handle this, great. If not, they'll just be a second-rate family! They don't have the strength, so they'll be miserable in this position!"

Xiaoli finally laughed: "That day was so funny."

Tianwu Patriarch also said, "He also said he was drinking while swimming, but we all thought he was diving. When he floated up, we thought he was just making a fuss."

Xiaoli wiped away her tears: "The worst part is, a big turtle bit off my pants while I was in the water! Hahaha, that day Dabai was floating around naked in the water, floating and floating... floating and floating..."

Rose laughed too.

Li Dabai said aggrievedly, "No... we've been friends for a long time, you should treat these things like this in front of the younger generation..."

The Heavenly Martial Ancestor chuckled as he reminisced, "Those were truly happy times. We were like a group of carefree young people... indifferent to the conflicts of the martial world, and unconcerned about fame... just a group of upright and vigorous young people... Heh, it was truly absurd and laughable, but happiness... it was real happiness..."

Xiaoli nodded: "Li Dabai was the youngest among us, the most show-offy little brother. He always wanted to compete with his older brothers, and he could never beat them, hahaha... Back then, we were all happy to play with him... He made the most fools of himself..."

Li Dabai's face looked like overcooked seafood.

"No, ladies, I brought Niu'er with me, you...you can't..."

Rose chuckled, "He's so funny..."

Ancestor Tianwu became curious.

She came with a mission, expecting it to be a clash of interests.

With the outcome still uncertain, my mood is very heavy.

She carries the future of Tianwu on her shoulders, and her days are numbered. If she cannot set the tone and determine the path for Tianwu's future, she will die with regrets.

But today, Li Dabai made a fool of himself again, which made her happy.

Many old memories came back to me, and I felt incredibly happy. I thought of many old friends.

Those memories, sealed away for far too long, suddenly surfaced today, vivid and clear as if they were from yesterday.

"Cheng Wen, is there anything else?"

"Uh...yes."

Lu Chengwen continued:

"Stop calculating! He lost to Old Fisher at fishing, and before leaving, he defecated in Old Fisher's pit; he lost to Ming Di Sha in lightness skill, and when he couldn't catch up, he said he had a stitch in his side and asked Ming Di Sha to come and help him. Then, when his sneak attack failed, he said Ming Di Sha's shoes were the advantage, that he slept with too many women last night and his legs were weak, and that he was rummaging around in the wind without shoes on..."

Xiaoli burst into laughter, slapping the table repeatedly, causing the group of younger people to look at each other in bewilderment.

"I remember, I remember! Hahahaha..."

Xiaoli leaned closer to the old man: "Li Dabai peeked at me taking a bath last night and I hit his eyes! The next day, he denied it with red eyes, insisting that he did it openly, and then the two of them started a fight!"

The old ancestor laughed heartily: "While the old fisherman turned around to get the fish basket, Li Dabai took a dump in his fishing spot. The old fisherman came back and was furious, ahahahahaha... ahahahahaha... I can't go on."

The fisherman shook his head: "This is the first time in my life I've ever seen such a white butt."

Zhao Ritian clapped his hands: "You really showed your butt!?"
