Chapter 936: Chapter 52: The Wager
“What did you say?!”
Li Fei’s words made Xiao Xiuyong’s mind montarily freeze, questioning whether he was hallucinating.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this.
Never!
Even the Crown Prince treats him with grace and considers him a friend.
Bang—
The force exploded from Xiao Xiuyong, shattering the wooden table beside him!
His face turned gloomy as he looked at Li Fei with a cold gaze:
“Unworthy? Well, well! I almost thought it was so Martial Saint speaking to !”
He was utterly enraged by Li Fei’s words.
Li Fei, even if you are the greatest hero in history with imnse potential, it is rely potential.
Who knows if one day you might suddenly be beaten to death? Or encounter so obstruction in your Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, causing your realm to stagnate?
Before Lin Tianyi fully matures, who can guarantee his future as the world’s number one?
No matter how capable you are, Li Fei, you’re just a Martial Arts Master right now.
No matter how great your power, when the Crown Prince ascends, you will still have to listen to him.
So what gives you the nerve to humiliate like this?
The more Xiao Xiuyong thought about it, the angrier he beca, burning with rage!
Facing Xiao Xiuyong’s fury, Li Fei calmly took a sip from a nearby teacup and said slowly:
“This is not the Xiao Family, you have to pay for the damages.”
“Pay?”
Xiao Xiuyong’s voice beca sowhat sharp:
“Give Bian Jingru ten guts, does he dare make pay?!”
Li Fei looked at him and remained silent, seeming to think even one more word would devalue him.
Precisely this attitude stabbed Xiao Xiuyong’s pride even further.
The pride and dignity he built up over the years were shattered by Li Fei’s two sentences and one glance.
If soone else had treated Xiao Xiuyong this way, he wouldn’t have been so defenseless.
It was precisely because Li Fei was so young and dazzling that he beca exceptionally agitated!
He hadn’t even realized that it was Li Fei’s brilliance that made him yearn for face, to satisfy certain psychological desires.
“Young Master.”
Seeing Xiao Xiuyong about to say sothing more, the gray-clad man who stood silently by his side gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
This gesture imdiately cald Xiao Xiuyong significantly.
The gray-clad man was not a real servant but a bodyguard sent by the Xiao Family Head, also responsible for reminding him not to stray at crucial monts.
Temporarily calming Xiao Xiuyong, the gray-clad man took a step forward and respectfully saluted Li Fei:
“I am Xiao Tao, a servant of the Xiao Family, having long admired the Marquis Jing’an’s na. As a fellow Martial Artist, may I spar with the Marquis to exchange martial arts?”
A Martial Arts Master declaring himself a servant; this illustrates the depth of the Xiao Family!
Xiao Tao stepping up to challenge Li Fei was to resolve today’s event.
Regardless, Li Fei is now an important ally of the Crown Prince’s side, and the Xiao Family cannot and should not make an enemy of him at this ti.
If today Li Fei is willing to give Xiao Xiuyong so face, that would be perfect.
If not, there’s no need to make enmities over this.
Although Xiao Xiuyong conflicted with Li Fei, he ultimately does not represent the Xiao Family.
This conflict is only verbal, not a major issue.
Therefore, Xiao Tao stepped up in a tily manner to prevent Xiao Xiuyong from making things worse.
Otherwise, the Crown Prince would face difficulty, and the Family Head would punish Xiao Xiuyong.
But if they were to just leave with Xiao Xiuyong, he wouldn’t accept it, and the Xiao Family would be looked down upon by Li Fei.
Thus, Xiao Tao stepped out in the capacity of a Martial Artist to challenge Li Fei.
I’m a servant of the Xiao Family, and if you can’t defeat even a servant, on what basis do you look down on my family’s Eldest Young Master?
Xiao Xiuyong understood Xiao Tao’s intention imdiately, suppressing his anger, waiting for Li Fei’s response.
Li Fei calmly looked at Xiao Tao:
“What qualifies you to challenge ?”
“Li Fei! How dare you insult my Xiao Family like this?!”
Xiao Xiuyong suddenly stood up from his seat, his anger rising again.
Li Fei laughed: “Can you represent the Xiao Family? Or can he?”
Xiao Tao remained calm from beginning to end; even hearing Li Fei’s words didn’t anger him:
“The Marquis has notable achievents and dominance; I am indeed an unknown nobody unqualified to challenge you.”
“Uncle Tao?!”
Xiao Xiuyong suddenly beca anxious.
Xiao Tao sighed inwardly; the Eldest Young Master usually isn’t so impulsive. Today, why is he so unbalanced in front of Marquis Jing’an?
He first glanced back at Xiao Xiuyong, indicating he should be patient, then turned to Li Fei:
“I know the Marquis is following Lin Tianyi’s path of Magic and Martial Unity. Our Xiao Family has a notebook that Lin Tianyi wrote during the Great Grandmaster and Top-level True Master stages, discussing how to rge the Martial Arts Domain and Magic Dao Array. Would the Marquis be interested?”
Li Fei’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.
Although the path of Magic and Martial Unity he follows isn’t the sa system as Lin Tianyi, he could learn from others, especially from the ‘mountain’ raised by the world’s number one.
Moreover, the core issue of combining the Martial Arts Domain and the Array is sothing Li Fei will sooner or later face, and it must be solved.
Therefore, Xiao Tao’s ntioned notebook is indeed very valuable to Li Fei!
He doesn’t doubt the authenticity of the notebook because previously the Crown Prince specially acquired for him a secret from the Heavenly Tower titled “Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation Practical Examination.” (See Volu 3, Chapter 86)
Considering the relationship between the Xiao Family and the Crown Prince, the Xiao Family possessing notes from Lin Tianyi is plausible.
