"It was your master who proposed the duel at Jiulong Pool. Now that I’m here and he’s not, who should be preparing a will? Your master should know better."
"But since the guest follows the host, if your master wants me to write a will, relay to him that he should prepare his as well. A duel is life and death, and since he wants to stand up for the Zheng Clan, let him be ready for life and death."
Lin Beichen finished coldly, not waiting for Brother Long to say another word, and with a wave of his hand unleashed a violent gale.
The gale carried Water Dragon, instantly sweeping the four back onto the mountain.
Brother Long, caught off guard, heavily crashed onto the ground.
Lin Beichen’s reaction was completely beyond his expectations.
Before he came, some leaders of several clans had briefed him on Lin Beichen’s identity and background.
Lin Beichen was an ordinary student at Huadu Foreign Affairs College.
In addition, he was also a newly promoted leading professor at Huadu College, reportedly having developed a very special research achievement that caused a global sensation.
Upon seeing this information, Brother Long also harbored some doubts.
Though people on Xiang Island looked down on those from the mainland, the disparity between Lin Beichen’s two identities was too great.
In international university rankings, more than ten schools on the small land of Xiang Island ranked among the world’s top 500, with nearly 35 specific disciplines ranking in the global forefront.
Meanwhile, Huadu University had fewer than three disciplines in this ranking.
Xiang Island people trust rankings, so they completely look down on Huadu University, but one is an ordinary student, and the other is a leading professor causing a global sensation.
The difference and value of these two identities were still distinguishable to Brother Long.
When he raised the question, those above did not provide specific advice, merely making a casual statement.
"He’s just a mainlander, don’t take him too seriously."
This was the exact wording given by those above.
Now, thinking about it, Brother Long only felt deeply ironic.
Lin Beichen’s strength far exceeded estimations, and he even felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Others, when facing their master, would feel fear no matter how well they disguised it, but this person, upon receiving the master’s challenge, not only arrived early but also showed no respect after the message was delivered.
Can the master really win?
Brother Long was deeply apprehensive.
In his heart, the master was a towering superpower, unmatched by anyone in this world.
But at this moment, he felt a trace of unease.
After all, Xiang Island is just a city; being invincible on Xiang Island doesn’t mean invincible elsewhere.
"Brother Long, this kid is simply too much."
One of the subordinates said, his face filled with anger.
Lin Beichen showed no respect, even turning him into a drowned rat.
If it weren’t for his luck, he might have been dead by now.
"Just say less."
Brother Long rubbed his brow, speaking uneasily.
He just reprimanded this subordinate not out of anger but because he had a terrible premonition that if he let this person continue to speak, they would lose their life!
He managed to survive till today by always following his intuition.
He came with orders from several major clans, yet Lin Beichen’s response was so cold and indifferent, not even taking Zheng Yaxin, he didn’t know how to report back.
The others, seeing this, showed embarrassed expressions.
When Brother Long brought people over, they eagerly signed up, thinking it would be a great opportunity to make a name for themselves, but they ended up in this mess.
"Brother Long, how are we going to report back?"
One of the subordinates couldn’t help but say.
Upon hearing this, Brother Long immediately rubbed his forehead and hit himself hard.
Mentioning things better left unsaid.
If he knew what to do, would there be any worry?
"I’ll report to the master, and you guys go back to your respective families and explain it yourself."
Brother Long said irritably.
This hurdle with the master wasn’t easy to get through; he couldn’t withstand a reprimand from the master and then run to each major clan for another round of scolding, could he?
Why should he be the only one to take the heat when everyone came together?
The subordinates nodded tearfully, and everyone got into their own cars.
Almost at the same time, another person approached Zheng Yaxin.
Wu Qingshan.
"You must be Miss Zheng?"
Wu Qingshan, with a pipe in his mouth, spoke lightly.
Zheng Yaxin looked extremely haggard, completely devoid of the glamorous charm seen in magazines.
The supermodel turned into a drenched chicken, even less than a farmwoman working in the fields.
Zheng Yaxin glared coldly at Wu Qingshan, eyes filled with vigilance and anger.
"What do you want?"
"Actually, nothing much, just wanted to come over and greet you."
Wu Qingshan chuckled.
Zheng Yaxin snorted coldly, turning her face away, unwilling to look at Wu Qingshan’s lewd smile.
She had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was well aware of its nature.
In this industry, desires run rampant, and a beautiful woman must learn how to protect herself.
However, as she was thinking this, Wu Qingshan leaned towards her again.
"Don’t come any closer!"
Zheng Yaxin screamed and instinctively shrank back.
Wu Qingshan helplessly looked at Zheng Yaxin, moved back again, and the flattering look on his face faded away, turning into disgust.
"Miss Zheng, do you think you’re really that attractive? Could you please look at yourself in the lake and smell yourself? Do you really think I consider you a hot commodity?"
Wu Qingshan spoke with full disgust.
