Chapter 1272 - 1272 Kowtow and Apologize!
1272 Kowtow and Apologize!
Chu Yunfan completely ignored Lady Shui Ji’s flattery.
“You flatter me,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
Lady Shui Ji was still smiling and did not seem to care about Chu Yunfan’s indifference.
Seeing that Lady Shui Ji kept looking at Chu Yunfan, Yuwen Chang’s eyes flashed with disdain. He said, “Who knows if it’s just a false reputation!”
Yuwen Chang’s words successfully drew everyone’s attention to Chu Yunfan. Everyone could hear the provocation in his words.
“Do you want to try?” Chu Yunfan sneered at Yuwen Chang. “Undeserved reputation? You’re saying that?”
Yuwen Chang sneered and said, “Since you were all invited here by the marquis, you should know how dangerous this is. When ambushing a Core, if you’re not careful, you will die. If you are not strong enough, you will become a burden.
“When the time comes, we can’t even protect ourselves and we still have to save him?”
Yuwen Chang said that they couldn’t even protect themselves, but no one was angry because this wasn’t belittling them. It was the truth. Compared to Cores, even if they had the advantage in numbers, they couldn’t protect themselves.
“Brother Yuwen, I don’t think Young Master Chu will be a burden. After all, even the Emissaries died at his hands,” Lady Shui Ji said as she looked at Chu Yunfan with a flirtatious gaze.
Yuwen Chang noticed all this, which made him extremely jealous and resentful. He was proud and arrogant, and his cultivation was even at the half-step Core Stage. Those who could catch his eye were only a rare few.
In his opinion, there were very few people who could become his life partner. He had pursued Lady Shui Ji for many years. In his opinion, only Lady Shui Ji, who was also at the half-step Core Stage, was qualified to be his partner.
However, after this d*mned Chu Yunfan arrived, Lady Shui Ji, who was originally chatting and laughing with him, completely shifted her attention to Chu Yunfan.
This made him go crazy with jealousy.
However, he didn’t say this out loud because he was jealous. It was because he had always thought that way. In his eyes, Chu Yunfan was nothing.
A twenty-something-year-old kid who didn’t even know if his hair had grown out wanted to be on equal footing with them?
One had to know that he was a half-step Core. If careless, one would be crushed to death by a finger.
In his opinion, Chu Yunfan’s reputation was spread by Marquis Zhongxin because Chu Yunfan’s surname was Chu. Therefore, Yuwen Chang did not have much regard for Chu Yunfan. His cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, and his comprehension of the realm could also be reborn in a short period of time. Since ancient times, there had been legends of him ascending in broad daylight.
However, that was a level. Even if Chu Yunfan was a genius, he still needed time to accumulate his strength. This could not be made up for by talent.
“You? You’re the weakest here. Who are you trying to show off to?” Chu Yunfan sneered at Yuwen Chang.
“Who are you calling the weakest?!” Yuwen Chang was furious.
“I’m talking about you.” Chu Yunfan sneered.
Everyone looked at Chu Yunfan, because they had never really compared themselves. Although they were all half-step Cores, except for the famous Emissaries who were obviously extremely strong, most of them had never really competed with each other.
“Vey well. After Zhang Ling defeats Yu Xuanfei, do you dare to fight me?” Yuwen Chang was so angry that his head was about to explode.
Chu Yunfan smiled faintly and said, “Idiot, you still dare to be arrogant? You can’t even tell who’s the winner and who’s the loser, yet you still dare to be arrogant.”
“Are you saying that what I said was wrong?” Yuwen Chang immediately understood what Chu Yunfan meant.
The others were also attracted by Chu Yunfan’s words. Zhang Ling had completely suppressed Yu Xuanfei. From the looks of it, Yu Xuanfei had no chance to counterattack.
“What a joke. Who doesn’t know that Zhang Ling’s moves are powerful and overbearing that it’s impossible to take them head on. If it was outside, Yu Xuanfei could still dodge, but in here, half the arena would be covered with a single swing of Zhang Ling’s hammer. Where can Yu Xuanfei hide?” Yuwen Chang said as he pointed at the stage.
The others nodded in agreement. If it were them, they would have the same opinion. Yu Xuanfei’s chances of winning were too slim. Even if he wanted to catch Zhang Ling off guard, it was impossible.
In their eyes, Zhang Ling’s fighting style was too overbearing, and Yu Xuanfei had no choice but to take it head-on in this narrow space. Just this alone was enough to determine that Yu Xuanfei would definitely lose this time.
“So, you didn’t see it. Can’t you see that Yu Xuanfei isn’t using his full strength?” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
“Not using his full strength? How is that possible?” Fu Wentai said in disbelief, because Yu Xuanfei didn’t seem to be hiding his strength. “This is heresy to confuse the public and sensationalize!”
Yuwen Chang carefully observed the battle again and immediately came to the same conclusion as before. Chu Yunfan was clearly just trying to please the crowd. He had met too many people like this. They just wanted to amaze the world and attract others’ attention.
“How about it? Do you dare to bet with me and see who wins?” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile.
Yuwen Chang immediately sneered and said, “Bet with you? If you lose, I want you to kneel and kowtow in apology.”
“All right, if you lose, what will you do?” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
“How could I possibly be wrong?!” Yuwen Chang said.
“You’re already wrong. I don’t want you to do anything else. We’ll follow your suggestion. You will kneel and kowtow and say that you’re wrong.” Chu Yunfan smiled faintly.
“All right, that’s it then.” Yuwen Chang’s face revealed a carefree smile as if he could see Chu Yunfan kneeling and kowtowing.
Chu Yunfan immediately shouted at the scene, “You’ve already reached this stage, why aren’t you going all out?”
Both of them were attracted by the bet between Chu Yunfan and Yuwen Chang. Zhang Ling glared at Chu Yunfan. This d*mned kid actually dared to say that he was inferior to Yu Xuanfei.
On the other side, Yu Xuanfei shouted, “Since it has already come to this, there’s no point in me continuing to hide it. Seriously, if you saw through it, so be it. Why did you have to expose me?”
