Chapter 296 Overtime—

"Nonsense!"

"You're the one spouting nonsense!"

A furious shout rang out. It was the old man surnamed Liu, his face flushed red, his eyes wide as he stared intently at the equally furious old man surnamed Li opposite him, and roared loudly.

"Hey! You actually dare to turn around and accuse me of talking nonsense? You're the one who's really talking nonsense!"

The old man surnamed Li retorted without backing down, his white beard trembling slightly with anger.

And so, the two old men stood facing each other like fighting cocks, neither willing to give an inch.

"Fine, you stubborn old Liu! We've known each other for so many years, do you really have to stick to your own ideas all the time and never listen to me, not even this once?!"

Old Li became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

"Hmph! Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Old Li, Old Li, why don't you think about yourself? If you hadn't always chosen the same path as me, would we have ended up like this?!"

Old Liu chuckled coldly a few times before speaking.

At this moment, the two stubborn old men were like children, standing there exchanging insults and hurling insults at each other.

Behind them stood a group of younger people.

The young people split into two groups, standing behind Old Man Liu and Old Man Li respectively, and kept trying to persuade them.

Judging from their expressions and behavior, they should all be students led by the two old men.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lingye coughed a few times, trying to suppress the noise caused by the heated argument between the two groups, but it seemed to have little effect.

"Stop making so much noise! ​​There are guests here!"

He frowned and raised his voice.

As Lingye led Moros and the others closer, the argument between the two groups was reaching a fever pitch. They were all red-faced and spitting as they spoke, completely oblivious to the arrival of others.

If Lingye hadn't intervened in time, this farce might have continued for who knows how long.

When they face Meros, they will not only lose face, but the two of them might also argue until the next morning without stopping, completely oblivious to everyone else.

Upon hearing Ling Ye's shout, Lao Liu, the leader of one of the groups, was the first to react.

"Oh? It's Xiaoye!"

His face, which had been contorted with anger, instantly became kind and gentle. He smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked at Ling Ye with a cheerful expression.

"Oh, Xiaoye's here. What, are there guests? What kind of distinguished guests are they?"

At the same time, Old Li on the other side also seemed to be under a spell, quickly extricating himself from the fierce battle with his opponent, and also put on a kind face, looking at Ling Ye with a big smile and asking.

This scene is truly unbelievable.

You should know that just before Ling Ye spoke up to stop them from arguing, the two of them were arguing fiercely and were even on the verge of fighting.

However, looking at their almost identical amiable expressions now, it's hard for anyone to imagine that just a moment ago, they were sworn enemies.

Ling Ye was inwardly groaning, but on the surface he had to pretend to be nonchalant, as if nothing had happened.

"Come, let me introduce you two. This is Mr. Meros."

“This Mr. Meros is very interested in this mysterious machine, which is why I brought him here to find out more about it.”

Ling Ye had no choice but to smile and calmly introduce Old Li and Old Liu.

“Meros, this is Elder Liu over here, and the one next to him is Elder Li. For a long time now, they have been working tirelessly to study this amazing machine. And just recently, we finally figured out one of its important functions.”

Then, Lingye turned her gaze to Meros and continued speaking.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take good care of me!"

Upon hearing this, Melos stepped forward, nodded slightly to Old Li and Old Liu, and greeted them politely.

"Oh, hello, hello. What about this machine are you interested in? Let me tell you about it. I've been studying this for several years, and I know it inside and out! I can explain anything you're interested in."

Old Liu flashed forward like a bolt of lightning.

His movements were exceptionally agile, and his posture was so nimble that it was astonishing, completely unlike what one would expect from an elderly person.

In the blink of an eye, he effortlessly pushed aside Ling Ye, who was standing to the side, with an extremely nimble and unbelievable movement.

Old Liu looked smug, then spoke in a slightly provocative tone.

"Hey! Old Liu, what you're doing is so unreasonable! I've been studying this diligently here the whole time, why can't I go first? Let me tell you, Xiao Mo, when it comes to skills, I'm much better than him! Let me explain it to you properly!"

Just then, Old Li suddenly came to his senses, but it was too late; his reaction was noticeably slower than Old Liu's.

"Don't listen to that old guy's nonsense, Xiao Mo. Actually, I have more experience. My explanation will definitely be more detailed and accurate!"

Left with no other choice, Old Li quickly walked to the other side of Moros, glared at Old Liu, and then hurriedly spoke to Moros.

And so, Old Li and Old Liu stood on either side, like two guardian deities, tightly surrounding Meros in the middle.

Poor Lingye, she was just standing next to Meros, but now she's been squeezed behind them.

"Hey, boss, look at you, you got squeezed out of this surging crowd too!" Ling Yan noticed Ling Ye's slightly disheveled appearance and couldn't help but smile, instinctively making fun of him.

Ling Ye was already in a bad mood because she had been pushed out of the crowd, and hearing Ling Yan's tactless words only made her angrier.

"What are you doing loitering around here? Get back to training! And starting now, you're getting an extra four hours of training today!"

He turned his head sharply, glared at Ling Yan, and shouted angrily.

However, Lingye's anger did not subside.

"And you, Lingluo! Don't think I can't see you just because you're hiding behind and laughing! You should go train with him too!"

His eyes were sharp as he quickly swept over Ling Luo, who was secretly laughing to the side, and shouted loudly.
