Chapter 103 The Unruly People of Beishang Township
The true story of the Egui Pong was finally revealed to Xue Zhong.
Knowing this history all along, Xia Chi immediately turned her gaze to Nemo and silently counted down in her mind.

"That's outrageous! How could those people do that!"
Sure enough, before Xia Chi's countdown was even over, Nemo, the most straightforward of them all, slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
A little bit of apple cider vinegar spilled from the glass, a sign of someone's anger.
"No, I have to go and tell these villagers the truth!"
With that, Nemo prepared to get up and leave.
Zi Yu quickly stopped her, "Nimo, calm down. If things were so easy to resolve, would the truth still be preserved through generations of Xue Zhong's family?"
Nemo was certainly not stupid; she was just momentarily overcome with anger.
After being stopped by Ziyu, she realized how difficult it was to change the prejudices that had existed in the villagers' hearts for hundreds of years.
Clenching his fists, he couldn't think of any good solutions and could only sit back down dejectedly.
"Xia Chi, what should we do!"
Nemo didn't know why, but she subconsciously asked Xia Chi.
Zi Yu also looked over with expectant eyes.
This annoyed Xia Chi, who asked me what I was doing.
I just want to fix the Green Grass Mask, get the other masks, and then use my influence in the field of mythology and history to reveal the truth to the world. Finally, I'll take Ponpo and fly away.
Do you expect me to educate these unruly people?
I'm sorry, I have neither the obligation nor the ability to do so.
Having already suffered once in the Zhu Zi storyline, Xia Chi really didn't want to have any further dealings with those troublemakers.
Can you believe that even after the villagers learned the truth, they still asked the protagonist for money to rebuild the destroyed Baoban Square and the statues of the three precious objects?
That's right, those scoundrels from Beishang Township are capable of doing this kind of thing.
To put it bluntly, what's the difference between this and a certain shrine?
Xia Chi even suspected that perhaps because the three precious objects had been worshipped for hundreds of years, the entire village had become materialistic.
Huh?
Believe it or not, that's actually possible.
Xia Chi suddenly had a breakthrough in her thinking.
Otherwise, how did the amazing dog and the ape in the story manage to be reborn from the statue?
Perhaps this is their power as legendary spirits?
Therefore, when dealing with these troublemakers, there is no need for education, only lessons!
People only believe what they want to believe.
Xia Chi said, "I think our main purpose is to help E Guipeng clear his name. I can't guarantee whether the people of Beishang Township will repent, and it's not important. There's more than one Beishang Township in this world."
Although Xuezhong was also from Beishang Township, he was perhaps the one who had lived there the longest and knew the villagers' character best.
After letting out a silent sigh, he remained silent.
"We'll talk about those things later, Grandpa Xuezhong. Do you have a way to repair this mask?"
Xia Chi handed over the mask and asked.
After a moment's thought, Xue Zhong shook his head and said, "Although I don't have the same exquisite skills as my ancestors, I can still repair it. However, without the most crucial gem, the mask still cannot regain its powerful strength."
Xia Chi readily agreed, "That's easy. As long as you can fix it, that's fine. As for Taijing, uh, I'll take care of the gemstones."
Xue Zhong nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. I thank you on behalf of that child, E Guipeng!"
Xia Chi smiled: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
After Ponpo, she will be my partner. Whether I thank her or thank me, it's the same.
After discussing matters related to the Egui Pong, Grandma Shu came over to call us for dinner.
Xia Chi and his companions initially wanted to decline, but they couldn't resist the elderly couple's warm invitation and ended up having lunch there anyway.
Beishang Township is famous not only for its apples, but also for its excellent beef, seafood, and udon noodles.
The simple seasoning alone was enough to make Xia Chi and the other two rave about it.
This once again proves that the restaurants run by unscrupulous merchants outside Beishang Township only profit from the availability of ingredients and have absolutely no culinary skills.
After lunch, we said goodbye to the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Xuezhong, who were making woodwork.
The three, feeling stuffed, decided to walk back to the resort.
The conversations along the way naturally revolved around the tragic background of E Guipeng.
"Xia Chi, we must help E Guipeng, it's so pitiful!"
Nemo made a solemn request once again.
"Of course, I will definitely help."
While saying this, Xia Chi thought to herself, "In the future, when I use Ponpo to fight against you, you won't feel sorry for Ponpo anymore, but you'll feel sorry for yourself."
Zi Yu, on the other hand, seriously offered advice and strategies to Xia Chi.
"I think, Xia Chi, why don't you use the [Shui Ye] account to create a series about the legendary elves of Beishang Township? It would help Ergui Peng, and it would also be a good topic, right?"
As expected of the thoughtful and meticulous Senior Ziyu, she was thinking the same thing as me.
Xia Chi nodded and said, "I definitely will, but I need to do some preliminary preparations."
As for what the preparations were, no matter how curiously Zi Yu and Ni Mo asked, Xia Chi remained silent, looking like a riddle teller who had a clever plan.
------
Back at the resort, the three returned to their respective rooms.
Xia Chi first went to Lin Qunzhi to pick up Yujira.
Dean Lin and her elf were almost driven crazy by this little guy who made a huge fuss whenever he couldn't find Xia Chi.
When Xia Chi arrived, Lin Qunzhi's ace Venusaur, who only possessed Champion-level strength, was humbly playing a drop tower game with Tyranitar.
Use the vine whip to lift up the Qiraji, then release the whip and let it fall freely into its own huge flower.
Only this kind of stimulating sensation could make Yukira temporarily stop its desire to find Xiachi and instead let out excited howls.
The key is that Venusaur can't stop; if you stop, this little devil will immediately start causing trouble again.
Venusaur truly lives up to its reputation as an Elite Four-level Pokémon. When a nearly 200-pound Larvitar fell on it, Venusaur didn't utter a sound or even move.
But the lifeless, dead fish eyes said it all—
It is bearing an unbearable weight of life.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Teacher Lin!"
Xia Chizhen never expected that her overnight foster care would cause such a big problem. She hurriedly pulled the Lark, who had stopped causing trouble after seeing its trainer, to apologize to Lin Qunzhi.
Lin Qunzhi, with her hair disheveled, sighed with great misery.
Thinking that "I picked these students myself, so I'll just teach them as best I can. What else can I do?", he said, "Give them good luck in the competition, and consider it compensation for my emotional distress."
Led by the mischievous kid, Yugira returned to the room. Tirion and Misdreavus had been awake for a while.
They were much more emotionally stable, knowing that Xia Chi must have gone out on something, and obediently waited for their trainer to come home.
Xia Chi ordered room service for lunch for the three elves who hadn't had lunch yet, and then summoned his Rotom phone.
"Please call President Ye Ci for me."
If you want to do something in Beishang Township, you must first get the approval of the Padiya leader.
"No problem, Loto!"
After a few beeps, the call was successfully connected.
