70: Chapter 70 Rushing into the Pit

The person who arrived was none other than Patriarch Lin Tianyang of the Lin Family.

Beside Patriarch Lin Tianyang followed three others: Patriarch Bai Long of the Bai Family, Patriarch Lu Feng of the Lu Family, and Patriarch Niu Lin of the Niu Family.

"Haha, Brother Lin, is this that useless son Lin Feng, whom you drove out of your Family?" Patriarch Niu Lin swept his gaze over Lin Feng and said with a fake smile.

He had long since learned quite a bit about Lin Feng from his son, Senior Brother Niu Ben!

Naturally, he also knew that Lin Feng had rejected the recruitment offer from his son, Senior Brother Niu Ben!

Therefore, he didn't have the slightest bit of goodwill toward Lin Feng.

In his view, daring to refuse the recruitment of their Niu Family was simply not knowing what was good for him.

"Mm, Brother Niu, you are right; he is that good-for-nothing rebellious son of mine!" Patriarch Lin Tianyang nodded.

After saying this, he looked at Lin Feng again and said with a stern face, "Rebellious son, this grand competition is an annual event in Qingyun County. I advise you not to participate, lest you embarrass yourself in front of everyone!"

"Patriarch Lin, have you eaten too much salt?" Lin Feng heard this and gave a cold laugh!

"What do you mean?" Patriarch Lin Tianyang was taken aback!

"Father, he is scolding you for meddling in other people's business!" At this moment, Lin Hao, who was beside him, said loudly.

"Rebellious son, I am your father! How dare you talk back to me like that?" Patriarch Lin Tianyang's expression changed drastically. He raised his right hand, preparing to slap him!

Lin Feng saw this, and his expression darkened.

He clenched his fists, ready to fight back!

Although Patriarch Lin Tianyang was his father, they had long since severed their relationship.

Furthermore, today, Patriarch Lin Tianyang was wantonly humiliating him without mercy in front of everyone.

He was truly unworthy of being a father!

Since that was the case, why should he be polite?

Seeing that Patriarch Lin Tianyang's slap was about to land on Lin Feng's face!

"Stop!" Just then, a familiar, explosive shout suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue.

Hall Master Su Tongtian shot over like lightning, grabbed Patriarch Lin Tianyang's arm, and sternly demanded, "Lin, what are you doing?"

"Pavilion Master Su, I am disciplining my own son, so you shouldn't meddle in other people's business, right?" Patriarch Lin Tianyang said coldly!

"Hmph, disciplining your own son? Didn't you already drive Lin Feng out of the Family and sever ties with him?" Hall Master Su Tongtian said bluntly.

"Hmph, even if ties were severed, the Bloodline connection between us cannot be completely cut. He is still my son. A father disciplining his son is justified by heaven and earth!" Patriarch Lin Tianyang said, steeling himself.

"Get lost! I have never seen someone as shameless as you!" Hall Master Su Tongtian laughed in extreme anger and gave a fierce shove, pushing Patriarch Lin Tianyang far away.

"You..." Patriarch Lin Tianyang was so angry that smoke was practically coming out of his seven orifices, and he glared over with eyes ready to split!

"What? Not convinced? Want to fight with this old man?" Hall Master Su Tongtian said disdainfully!

"I wouldn't dare!" Patriarch Lin Tianyang heard this and instantly chickened out, shaking his head repeatedly.

He was only in the Late Stage of the Core Condensation Realm; how could he dare to fight Hall Master Su Tongtian?

Wouldn't that just be asking for humiliation?

"Remember, stay away from my precious Disciple in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and beating you until even your mother wouldn't recognize you!" Hall Master Su Tongtian waved his fist and threatened loudly.

"Vulgar!" Patriarch Lin Tianyang gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Heh, this Lin Feng is nothing more than a piece of trash with an Inferior Root. Only you, Hall Master Su Tongtian, treat him like a treasure!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao, not far away, suddenly interjected with a sinister tone.

For a long time, Hall Master Guo Yunxiao and Hall Master Su Tongtian had been at odds.

This was mainly because, when they were young, both men fell in love with the same woman!

In the end, that woman chose Hall Master Su Tongtian.

After giving birth to a daughter, Senior Sister Su Qingya, for Hall Master Su Tongtian, she died in childbirth.

This became an eternal pain in Hall Master Guo Yunxiao's heart!

He felt that Hall Master Su Tongtian deserved to die ten thousand times.

To think that he let his beloved woman lose her life just to bear his child.

"Heh, in my eyes, my Disciple Lin Feng is ten thousand times better than your crappy Disciple Ye Fan!" Hall Master Su Tongtian heard this and retorted without hesitation!

"Oh? So, you think your Disciple Lin Feng is more outstanding than my Disciple Ye Fan?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao said with a cold laugh.

"Of course!" Hall Master Su Tongtian nodded heavily.

No one knew Lin Feng's situation better than he did!

Although Ye Fan was a peerless Prodigy with a Top-tier Root Bone!

In his view, he still did not compare to Lin Feng.

"Hahaha..." Hall Master Guo Yunxiao heard this and, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, could not help but look up and laugh wildly!

The laughter was filled with thick disdain and contempt, booming in all directions.

"You old rascal, what are you laughing at?" Hall Master Su Tongtian shouted displeasedly.

"Haha... I am laughing because you have truly gone mad, actually mistaking fish eyes for pearls and treating a mere piece of trash with an Inferior Root as a treasure!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao mocked loudly while laughing.

"Hahaha... Pavilion Master Guo's words are true; this Hall Master Su Tongtian has indeed gone mad!"

"Indeed, if he weren't mad, how could he say such boastful words?"

...Patriarch Lin Tianyang and the others heard this and also began to chime in loudly.

The entire scene instantly erupted into bursts of uproarious laughter.

Only Commander Chu Xingchen and Pavilion Master Ji Linger did not laugh.

Instead, they looked at Hall Master Su Tongtian thoughtfully.

Because they understood Hall Master Su Tongtian's character; although he was forthright, he was always cautious with his words!

Without absolute certainty, Hall Master Su Tongtian would absolutely not speak easily!

This also meant that in Hall Master Su Tongtian's heart, he regarded Lin Feng very highly.

But Lin Feng clearly only had an Inferior Root.

Could it be that they had misjudged him?

"Shut up, all of you!" Seeing everyone mocking himself and Lin Feng, Hall Master Su Tongtian could not help but channel his Qi into his Dantian and shout, "Do you all think that my Disciple Lin Feng is incapable?"

"Haha, it's not just a feeling, it is a fact!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao said dismissively.

"Since that is the case, how about we make a bet?" Hall Master Su Tongtian rolled his eyes and asked with a cold laugh.

"Oh? How shall we bet?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao asked!

"Let's bet on whether my Disciple Lin Feng can suppress your Disciple Ye Fan in this grand competition and win the championship. How about it?"

"Hahaha... Just based on him, a piece of trash with an Inferior Root, he dares to dream of winning the championship?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao heard this, could not hold back, and laughed wildly again!

Finally, he bent over and clutched his stomach!

He laughed until his stomach hurt.

"Stop laughing, damn it. Just tell me, do you dare to bet with me or not?" Hall Master Su Tongtian said with a cold laugh.

"Haha, fine, I'll bet with you. Go ahead, what are we betting?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao said disdainfully.

With his trump card, Ye Fan, what was there to fear?

"Let's bet ten thousand taels of silver!" Hall Master Su Tongtian thought for a moment and said!

"Haha, how is a mere ten thousand taels of silver enough? If we are going to bet, let's bet big. If it isn't one hundred thousand taels of silver, I can't even be bothered to bet with you!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao mocked.

"Haha, he took the bait!" Hall Master Su Tongtian heard this and was overjoyed!

He knew that Hall Master Guo Yunxiao would not easily let go of this opportunity to fleece him!

And did he not have the same intention?

As for the ten thousand taels he proposed earlier, it was just bait he had cast out.

Now, the fish had finally taken the bait!

"Ah! One hundred thousand taels? Wouldn't that be too much?" Hall Master Su Tongtian's expression darkened, and he muttered to himself.

"If you can't afford to bet, then get lost. A mere ten thousand taels—who are you trying to insult?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao said coldly.

"Fine, I'll bet with you!" Hall Master Su Tongtian heard this and, as if being roasted on a fire, roared unwillingly.

"Haha, fine, since you have agreed, let us ask Battalion Commander Chu and Pavilion Master Ji to be our witnesses. Neither party shall go back on their word afterward!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao laughed loudly.

"Whoever goes back on their word is a grandson!" Hall Master Su Tongtian said coldly.

"Everyone, if any of you want to make a fortune, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Just then, Hall Master Guo Yunxiao swept his gaze over Patriarch Lin Tianyang and the others and said loudly.

He decided to fleece Hall Master Su Tongtian one more time.

Who told him to overestimate himself and insist on fighting against him?

"Pavilion Master Su, can we also bet with you?" Patriarch Lin Tianyang's eyes lit up, and he asked loudly.

Looking at Patriarch Lin Tianyang's eager eyes, Hall Master Su Tongtian secretly cursed him as an idiot.

This was truly rushing to jump into the pit.

But on the surface, he remained composed, pretending to be hesitant as he said, "This..."

"Haha, Su, don't you think your precious Disciple Lin Feng will definitely win? What? Are you scared now?" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao added fuel to the fire from the side!

"Hmph, who is scared? A bet is a bet, who is afraid of whom?" Hall Master Su Tongtian heard this and, as if having received great humiliation and provocation, shouted loudly.

"Since Pavilion Master Su has agreed, let us place our bets quickly!" After Patriarch Lin Tianyang finished speaking, he quickly took out twenty thousand taels in silver notes and placed them on the table in front of Commander Chu Xingchen!

He looked as if he was afraid that Hall Master Su Tongtian would go back on his word.

With free benefits to be had, who wouldn't take them?

Soon, the three patriarchs—Niu Lin, Bai Long, and Lu Feng—also participated one after another.

The bets ranged from twenty thousand to fifty thousand taels!

All of them were placed on the table in front of Commander Chu Xingchen.

Master Li Badao thought for a moment and also took out fifty thousand taels and placed it there.

Except for Commander Chu Xingchen and Pavilion Master Ji Linger, almost all the big figures present participated!

All of them bet that Hall Master Su Tongtian would lose.

Which meant Lin Feng would not be able to win the championship!

Hundreds of thousands of taels in silver notes were placed on the table, a thick stack, piled high.

Hall Master Su Tongtian was already blooming with joy inside.

He was rich; this time he had really made a fortune!

After he made his money, he would buy Lin Feng more Heaven And Earth Treasure.

"Pavilion Master Su, there are quite a few people participating this time, and the silver notes amount to over three hundred thousand taels. Are you sure you want to bet against them?" Commander Chu Xingchen's gaze fell on Hall Master Su Tongtian, and he asked with considerable concern.

"Hmph, a person strives for a breath of air just as a Buddha accepts a stick of incense. Even if it means losing everything today, I will bet against them to the end!" Hall Master Su Tongtian said, gritting his teeth!

"Sigh, very well. Since both sides have no objections, then so be it!" Commander Chu Xingchen shook his head and said no more.

His statement meant that the bet was officially established, with no room for retraction.

"Hahaha... Su, just wait to lose everything!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao laughed wildly.

"Haha, that's right, this time we really made a fortune, actually picking up twenty thousand taels for nothing!" Patriarch Lin Tianyang echoed loudly!

"A bunch of idiots!" Hall Master Su Tongtian gave a cold laugh!

When the grand competition begins, watch my Disciple Lin Feng's performance and see how it blinds your dog eyes.

By then, I want to see if you few can still laugh.
