“Weakness? What weakness?” The crowd looked over. Everyone had already received news of the previous matter, and they were all filled with shock. All of them had raised their evaluation of this new guy and did not have intentions of underestimating him. But now that Zhan Qing Feng said he’d discovered that person’s weakness, how could they not be curious?
“The weakness of this Mo Jun Ye is the same as you all. The common problem of all youngsters, being unable to compose their emotions.” Zhan Qing Feng smiled elegantly and said with a slight raise of his eyebrows. “The reason for being unable to control your emotions is borne of an innate pride and arrogance! People like this will never allow themselves to back off from a battle. So from my analysis, even though he knows the danger here, he will still come for sure!
“This is clearly a person who though he knows he will suffer his fill of humiliation and end up bleeding from his head to toe, he will still come!” Zhan Qing Feng said with a faint smile. “If he really comes later, you must not call him an idiot. Because, the courage to confront great danger is the most important quality to ascend to the ranks of a peak expert! Especially now; I trust that the old seniors are confident that we will definitely not dare to kill him. He knows this as well, so since there aren’t any real dangers, why won’t he come?”
“But if he really comes here, the humiliation he’d suffer will surely accompany him for his entire life. In this life, he might even find it hard to raise his head ever again! As one of the people who planned these things, I am scared, so would he really dare to come and suffer if he knew?” Zhan Yu Shu said with uncertainty.
“Of course! If he doesn’t come today, then he would be filled with regrets in the future! Because he is escaping without even putting up a fight! For a regular person, it would naturally be an inconsequential action. But to a cultivator whose sights are set upon the peak, it is undoubtedly a huge heart’s demon! Everytime he faces a challenge in the future, he will be reminded of this day!
“If he comes here, it will at most be a moment of humiliation. In fact, it could even turn into a source of motivation for him in the future. But if he runs away in cowardice, this would undoubtedly become a shame on his soul that can never be washed away in this life, an event that he will never forget!”
Zhan Qing Feng continued with a confident voice. “So... he will definitely come! He must come!”
“The bet between Miss Miao and I hasn’t truly begun! Naturally, there aren’t any questions of whether or not I’m letting her have the slot for free.” Zhan Qing Feng smiled and said. “Everyone should straighten up and get ready. Today, we are going to face an extremely rare opponent with the Free and Natural Physique. Regardless of victory or defeat, today will be a moment of unforgettable memory for us!”
“Indeed, to be able to watch a genius with the Free and Natural Physique crumble under our torture is indeed going to be a moment to remember.” Zhan Yu Shu said with a loud laugh.
“Not necessarily! Before I came here, grandfather told me one thing: People with the Free and Natural Physique are geniuses among geniuses of this world! No matter what they are learning, they will pick it up exceptionally quickly! Thus, he instructed me very carefully.”
The crowd all held their breath as they listened.
“He said that: No matter what kind of strange stuff you see from such a person, you must not be surprised! Because... that’s the Free and Natural Physique! If he couldn’t achieve things that cause others to feel shocked, that would be the most shocking thing!” Zhan Qing Feng continued. “This Young Master Mo is most definitely a powerful opponent!”
“You must never let your guard down!”
“Big brother, if that kid truly manages to pass the challenges, are you going to give up the slot or not?” Zhan Yu Shu asked tentatively.
“Naturally! Why not? It’s just a slot; is it really such a big deal?” Zhan Qing Feng snorted coldly and said. “As a man, we must naturally honor our words! If we lose, we must be ready to admit the loss. Man lives by his words; if our words can’t be trusted and there is no credibility, how will we be able to achieve anything?”
“But... if that lass really gets to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens... if she somehow becomes the Spiritual Herbal Garden’s Lord, then I... I will have even less hope ah.”
Zhan Yu Shu looked pitifully at his elder brother. “Big brother, why would you rather give such a precious slot away to an outsider than to your own little brother... how about, let’s find a random reason to annul that previous bet? Why is there a need to take it so seriously? How can such an important slot be determined by such a pointless bet? This is too ludicrous!”
“What nonsense! How can this bet be pointless?” Zhan Qing Feng said with rage. “Are you so sure that I will definitely lose?” As he scolded, he shook his head and sighed. “There are only beauties in your eyes,and nothing else. You ah.. when will you be able to see the big picture? It’s about time for you to become more mature...”
“Big picture?” Zhan Yu Shu cocked his head and asked with confusion.
“Although the Miao Family is in a state of decline and they do not have much promising juniors, their old generation experts still occupy a significant portion of the Misty Illusory Manor’s power structure!” Zhan Qing Feng admonished coldly. “Those people... are not only shockingly powerful, they are also exceedingly patient.”
Zhan Yu Shu laughed aloud, unable to stop himself from appreciating his big brother’s use of words. He was clearly calling them undying old farts, but with the words exceedingly patient...
Truly being able to curse without using swear words.
“Besides... even of Mo Jun Ye truly comes, victory or defeat remains to be seen. However, the probability of our side winning is still higher; at least 90 percent and above!” Zhan Qing Feng raised nine fingers and smirked coldly as he continued. “But if he ultimately doesn’t come... that would simply mean that the competition didn’t happen! In that case, the results of the bet can only wait until the bet happens...”
“So that’s how it is. Big brother is truly meticulous and smart! This little brother is filled with endless admiration!” Zhan Yu Shu exclaimed with realization.
Just at this time, a commotion appeared at the door, quickly quieting down in an instant again. A fawning voice could be heard at the front. “So it’s Lady Miao who’s visiting, please come in and sit.”
Miao Xiao Miao’s annoyed voice rang out. “What’s there to be polite about? I can go in myself.” Following that, a faint perfume smell surged out as Miao Xiao Miao’s graceful figure appeared within the wide hall. Looking around at the hall, she scoffed aloud. “What’s with the grand setup? Aren’t you all making quite a mountain out of a molehill? Even if everyone is anxious about the bet, there’s no need to go to such an extent!”
“A once in 10,000 years rare genius with the Free and Natural Physique is visiting, so there’s naturally a need to choose the best location! I trust that anyone will treat the matter with caution!” Zhan Qing Feng said with a warm smile. “Regardless of whether the final result is a victory or defeat, there aren’t many chances to interact with such a supreme genius with the Free and Natural Physique! In these 10,000 years, only two people with the Free and Natural Physique have appeared... Little sister Miao, where is that genius with the Free and Natural Physique? I heard that the two of you were having a chat together? Don’t tell me he’s scared to come?!”
“Brother Zhan’s guess is quite close to the truth. After hearing that you all had set up such a grand welcoming for him, that genius was directly scared away! I very nearly dragged him here myself just now. However, that brat would rather die than conform, insisting on returning home to sleep. He can refuse to come, but I can’t. After all, I’m also quite interested in this welcoming party.” As she said that, she looked at the grand hall with a faint smile on her face.
This action of hers was clearly saying: The bunch of you prepared for nothing. Even if you go through all kinds of effort to prepare, if the opponent doesn’t show up, is there any meaning in it?!
“Not coming?” Although everyone was also wondering in their hearts whether this Free and Natural Physique genius would be scared away after learning that such a large group had gathered together to challenge him, and truthfully, many of them had already guessed that he might not come. If it were them in his shoes, they would definitely choose to flee as well! However, when they heard the confirmation from Miao Xiao Miao’s mouth, everyone was still incredibly agitated!
“F*ck! That bastard! He’s not coming? Is he still a man?” Zhan Yu Shu’s eyes shone as he cursed. “So many of us are waiting here, and he simply doesn’t turn up because he didn’t want to? What does he take us for? Are we fools for him to play around with?”
Zhan Yu Shu’s words had roused the anger of everyone in the hall! Although they all understood the current situation and could even empathize with Mo Jun Ye’s choice, the nature of humans was just like that. It was fine for them to scheme and play others as fools. But when it became their turn to be fooled, regardless of the circumstances of the other, they would throw all these thoughts to the backs of their minds!
“Exactly! This damnable Mo Jun Ye! Just because he has the Free and Natural Physique, he doesn’t place any of us in his eyes! For humiliating us like this today, we will definitely not let the matter rest! We will not go easy on him the next time!” A green robed youth said with gritted teeth.
“So what if he has better talent than us? With his trash attitude and cowardly guts, even if his talent is greater, his foundations are too poor. At least within a hundred years, he will never match up to us! In other words, we can step on him for at least a hundred years!”
A white robed youth snorted agitatedly and said with a cold smile. “Even if he has the Free and Natural Physique, the next hundred years will be long and shameful years for him! Every day will feel like a year, and he will tread the ground as though he is walking on thin ice! As for after the hundred years, all of us here will already be holding important positions. If he wants to seek revenge, it will damage himself as well. Even if he dares to go all out for revenge, there won’t be any faction that would be willing to side with him! This damned Mo Jun Ye, even if he can avoid today, tomorrow, and the day after, can he hide from us forever? Today, he’s already offended all the talented youths of the Misty Illusory Manor. Truly unwise!”
Zhan Qing Feng lowered his head and furrowed his brows lightly. “Why isn’t he coming? It doesn’t make sense ah... This matter is truly strange. Could it be that he isn’t afraid of forming a heart’s demon, affecting his future cultivation? This is truly difficult to understand... could it be that he doesn’t have a desire to grow stronger?”
Normally, Zhan Qing Feng would not be wrong with his analysis. The “Mo Jun Ye” with his weak cultivation would definitely be plagued by a heart’s demon if he didn’t accept the challenge out of fear. Even if he had the excellent foundation of the Free and Natural Physique, it would still be hard to advance in the future.
