C155 Scared?
"That's right, that's right. I'm usually rather funny and funny. Little brother, let's just treat this as a good relationship. How about we just let this matter pass?" Great Master Hu's expression relaxed a little as he said with a smile.
"Do you think that's possible?"
"If I lose, will you just let it go?" Lu Chen slightly raised his eyes and his gaze suddenly became sharp. He sneered and continued, "Right now kneel down and apologize. Leave an arm behind."
Lu Chen's voice was as cold as the wind, causing Great Master Hu's expression to change drastically. He was immediately at a loss for what to do, and at the same time, he was angry in his heart. What kind of person was he?
"Little brother, I know that just now was not good, I was the one who spoke rudely, now I solemnly apologize to you."
"At the same time, if you don't mind, I still have twenty low-rank spiritual herbs and five mid-rank spiritual herbs. I'll just treat it as me apologizing." Great Master Hu chuckled and took out the vigorous looking spiritual herbs from his space ring.
Rows after rows of jade boxes were filled with rare and precious spiritual herbs. Their value was absolutely priceless, but Great Master Hu didn't even blink when he saw them. It was evident how rich they were!
"You want to use this to send me away?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Lu Chen shook his head with a smile. He didn't want to let Great Master Hu off that easily.
"Little brother, we are alchemists, there is no need to fight. I still have five stalks of medium-grade spiritual herbs, so I might as well give them all to you as an apology." Great Master Hu gritted his teeth and took out another five stalks of rare and precious materials.
It was fine for a low rank spiritual herb, but it was the main ingredient in refining high rank Pill. Even Great Master Hu would feel pained if he took out ten of them in one go, but for the sake of Lu Chen, it was no longer difficult for him.
"This little brother, you did indeed win the competition, but the so-called 'peace makes wealth'. Moreover, Great Master Hu is convinced. I think it would be better for us to resolve this grudge."
"Furthermore, Great Master Hu is a guest that I invited. For my sake, please don't pursue the matter just now." Seeing that Lu Chen had turned silent, Bai Hai opened his mouth and spoke in a timely manner.
As an existence that surpassed the Innate Martial Master, to be able to make him plead for leniency was already enough to give Lu Chen face. Although Great Master Hu lost the match, he had a rather high position in the Blue Cloud Sect, and he also had an even more important role at the moment. He definitely could not let Lu Chen cripple one of his arms.
"Even Second Master asked for mercy. If this person knows what to do, then he should stop."
"What a domineering figure, I never would have thought that we, Second Master, would speak up for Great Master Hu."
… ….
Within the Bai Family, Bai Hai was still a strong practitioner that dominated a region. If it wasn't for the fact that the Patriarch was still alive, he would have become the new Patriarch of the Bai Family long ago.
"How much is your face worth?"
"If you lose, you have to pay the price. Kneel down and apologize and cut off one of your arms."
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Lu Chen smiled slightly. He immediately changed the topic and spoke to Bai Hai without any trace of politeness.
"Hmm?"
"What did you say?" Bai Hai's face sank. He never thought that Lu Chen would not even give him face!
"Boy with the surname Lu, you are truly bold and impudent. Don't think that you can be so overbearing just because you won against Great Master Hu with luck. You offended someone you can't afford to offend." Seeing that Lu Chen didn't even pay attention to his father, Bai Jian sneered. His tone didn't hide the obvious threat.
"Bai Jian, don't confuse us."
"Since Lu Chen has won, then Great Master Hu will naturally fulfill the promise." Bai Yunlai recovered from his shock and stood by Lu Chen's side without hesitation. She had already started to believe that Lu Chen might really be able to cure her brother and had neglected Lu Chen. If she didn't seize this opportunity to save him, Lu Chen might just leave in anger.
"Great Master Hu, are you scared?"
"And now everyone is watching? You wouldn't do something that would let down your own reputation and prestige, right? " Bai Yunlai smiled sweetly and immediately spoke to Great Master Hu, whose face was ashen.
"Little girl." Great Master Hu gritted his teeth and glanced around. He found that many people in the pill cultivating room were staring at him with a peculiar expression. There were also a few people whispering to each other with mocking expressions on their faces.
These looks made Great Master Hu nervous, but as a great master, if he kneeled down and apologized to a young man, how could he continue to stay in the Blue Cloud Sect after the news spread, not to mention cutting off one of his arms, it would undoubtedly destroy his ability to refine pills. Right now, he was regretting it, he never thought that he would kick such a heavy iron board!
Great Master Hu was a bit anxious. Was he really going to cut off one of his arms and make Lu Chen, a little brat, kneel down and apologize?
"Bai Hai."
"This old man is someone you invited, you can't just sit by and do nothing." Great Master Hu had no choice but to ask Bai Hai for help.
"Bai Yunlai, stop messing around."
"I advise you, friend, that it won't do anyone any good to continue making trouble like this." Faced with Great Master Hu's request, Bai Hai naturally couldn't remain indifferent. Since he couldn't convince Lu Chen, Bai Yi could only be his niece.
"Second Uncle, although Lu Chen is my friend, since Great Master Hu invited him to compete in pill refining, now that he lost, he should fulfill his promise."
"Although our Bai Family is a big family, if we help Great Master Hu break his promise and spread the news, not only will we lose Great Master Hu's face, we will also lose the reputation that our Bai Family generations built up."
He glanced at Lu Chen, then said with a firm tone under the sharp gaze of Bai Hai.
"Third Miss is right."
"Since Mr. Lu Chen has won, then Great Master Hu should fulfill his promise." The old butler smiled amiably and echoed her sentiments.
"You all..." Great Master Hu was fuming, but there was nothing he could do.
"Baiyun, do you know what you're doing?"
"Even if this guy wins Great Master Hu with his alchemy, don't forget your brother's condition. Are you going to rely on him to treat you?" Bai Hai let out a heavy snort and said with a bit of resentment.
"I believe Lu Chen." After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yunlai remained as resolute as ever.
"Alright, do you want me to do it myself, Great Master Hu?" Lu Chen took a step forward, ignoring the strange looks from the others.
"Kid, try touching a single hair on my head."
"My relationship with the Patriarchs of the four great clans of the sect is not shallow. If today's matter is made known to the Lei Family Masters, he will stand up for me. At that time, you might not even know how you died." Without caring about the occasion, Great Master Hu ripped open his face and threatened Lu Chen.
"It's none of your business who Great Master Hu meets. Since Bai Family is a witness, I hope that you can fulfill your bet with Little Brother Lu right now." Suddenly, a loud laugh was heard.
In almost an instant, Bai Cangkong's tall and straight javelin-like figure appeared in the alchemy room. His hair and appearance was like a crane, and his eyes were deep and profound. A terrifying and powerful aura circulated around him.
