Chapter 1100 - 1098: A Chance Encounter with Huangmao
"It’s not that simple over there. The exchange also needs to determine a winner and loser. Plus, school exchanges are essentially about the ranking and strength of a school. If you all lose, it means that your strength doesn’t match up with Yingbo University, and there will be no need for future exchanges! That’s why this time we must have a clear outcome of winning and losing."
Hearing Mitsui Kazuo say this, it was obvious he was being unreasonable. Lin Feng couldn’t help but speak up, not giving Mitsui Kazuo a chance to back down. After all the underhanded tactics done in secret, there was no need for Lin Feng to be courteous to Mitsui Kazuo.
"You... what are you talking about? How could Dongjing University possibly be inferior to Yingbo University? This exchange is just to save your face. If we really were to compete based on strength, Yingbo University wouldn’t even be on the same level as Dongjing University!" As soon as Mitsui Kazuo heard Lin Feng’s words, he was so angry he almost fainted. He had intended to muddle through without discussing the outcome of this competition, but Lin Feng relentlessly brought it up, causing his rage to flare and he started yelling at Lin Feng as if he had suffered greatly.
"You’re speaking of saving face yet you pull so many tricks? Don’t think that no one knows what you have done; it’s merely fooling yourself. Or perhaps I should make these things public, then I guess Dongjing University would become famous both inside and outside." Seeing Mitsui Kazuo in such a ’wronged’ state, Lin Feng found it somewhat amusing and teased him. From the beginning, it was Dongjing University plotting, and now they act like this after failing, does Mitsui Kazuo have a problem with his brain?
"You... you..."
Mitsui Kazuo was stunned upon hearing what Lin Feng said, looking at him with eyes full of disbelief. It was only now that he realized that Lin Feng had known all about their plans and had prepared in advance to catch them in their scheme. Ridiculously, they had thought everything would go according to their script and win...
At that moment, his complexion darkened. He truly regretted coming to Tianhai. If he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have lost so much face. He was not only representing himself but also the Mitsui Family. Such an incident would likely make the family question his ability as the heir, the consequences of which were unthinkable!
"You think you can win them all? Just wait and see!" Assessing the situation and deciding it was better to leave, he immediately scoffed at Lin Feng before preparing to leave with Koji Inoue. But before he could take a step, he heard Lin Feng’s following words.
"Yes, we can win them all!" Lin Feng said with conviction; everything was already arranged, and beating Dongjing University would not be an issue.
"You... bragging shamelessly, you can’t possibly win them all. Do you really think your Yingbo University has all kinds of geniuses, that you can compare with our Dongjing University? Dream on!" Mitsui Kazuo, who was about to leave, exploded upon hearing Lin Feng’s words and shouted at Lin Feng. He was truly about to go mad with rage, thinking they could win everything. Why doesn’t Lin Feng just drop dead!
"There’s no need to be like this. How about we make a bet? If we win them all, you crawl out of here on your knees!" Lin Feng looked at Mitsui Kazuo with a light smile on his face and said. Since it had come to this, they might as well make a bet. It wouldn’t be too bad to completely crush Mitsui Kazuo.
Hearing Lin Feng actually proposing a bet, and speaking so arrogantly, Mitsui Kazuo’s veins bulged on his forehead as he shouted back at Lin Feng: "Fine! We’ll bet. If we win, you have to bark like a dog in public on behalf of Yingbo University and admit that Yingbo University lost the entire exchange. Just afraid you can’t make that call!"
After shouting, he was praying that Lin Feng would agree. Murakami Masao’s strength was widely recognized; worldwide, fewer than three people could beat him. The next bout was impossible to lose. As long as Lin Feng agreed, his failure this time could be redeemed—at least enough to offset his debts and save him from the family’s punishment.
Koji Inoue, standing beside them and hearing Lin Feng’s bet with Mitsui Kazuo, also showed a smile. The last brainpower competition involved Murakami Masao, a super-genius of mental arithmetic, known throughout the world. Even if Yingbo University was capable, they wouldn’t find someone to match him. As long as this bet was set, all the previous losses could be pushed away. Where else could they find such a good deal?
When Lin Feng heard Mitsui Kazuo say he didn’t have the authority, he laughed but didn’t argue. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei. Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei also smiled at that moment. They were both Lin Feng’s women; if Lin Feng couldn’t make the call, who could?
"Lin Feng’s words are my words. I think you should understand what I mean," said Ding Wan’er with a smile at that moment. Since Dongjing University insisted on doing this, then there was nothing left to hesitate. Moreover, she believed in Lin Feng, so of course, she had to stand up now.
"Alright, very good! Then let’s wait and see. I hope not to see any foul play from you when the time comes!" Seeing Ding Wan’er say this, Mitsui Kazuo coldly responded and then turned around to leave with Koji Inoue. In tomorrow’s competition, he was determined to make Yingbo University lose face in front of everyone!
"There won’t be any foul play from me. Oh, and for tomorrow, wear all white. It will be more effective when kneeling on the ground, probably quite a sight," Lin Feng added with a smile, watching Mitsui Kazuo and Koji Inoue getting ready to leave.
"Bang!"
Mitsui Kazuo, who was walking away, stumbled and collided with a trash can upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, almost passing out. He turned his head to look at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with murderous intent. If looks could kill, Lin Feng would have been sliced into a thousand pieces.
Without saying anything more, he turned around again and quickly left with Koji Inoue, fearing he might actually die of anger if he stayed any longer...
Watching Mitsui Kazuo and Koji Inoue leave in such an embarrassed state, Lin Feng and the two women found it hilarious. They turned around and went to find Su Xiaoxi, who played a big role in today’s affairs; it was only right to keep her company...
......
Tianhai’s night is extremely dazzling, colorful lights decorate this super large city beautifully, even at night, under the illumination of lights, it looks like daytime, even prettier than daytime.
Xia Lalan led the children into Tianhai City, and seeing the prosperity around them, she and the children were all stunned. They had not expected Tianhai City to be like this; it was completely different from the Xia Family, like two different worlds. It was too beautiful, too magnificent, with buildings of dozens of stories everywhere, something they couldn’t imagine before! In this way, Xia Lalan and the children were like entering a grand garden, everything they saw was curious and novel, and they gradually forgot everything...
But as they were walking, Xia Lalan suddenly remembered something—Lin Feng had said that once they arrived in Tianhai, they should call him. Thinking of this, she immediately took out her phone intending to ask Lin Feng to come pick them up, but when she was about to make the call, she found that the phone had run out of battery. Seeing this situation, she immediately became anxious. They had finally made it to Tianhai, but now they couldn’t contact Lin Feng, and she really didn’t know what to do!
The children also saw that Xia Lalan couldn’t get through to Lin Feng’s phone, and they became anxious too. Tianhai was so big, finding Lin Feng would be like finding a needle in a haystack. How could they find Teacher Lin? Although they were anxious, they didn’t rush Xia Lalan, knowing she was even more anxious than they were.
"Right, I remember now!"
Suddenly, Xia Lalan remembered Lin Feng had said he was from Yinbo University in Tianhai City. If they found Yingbo University, they could find Lin Feng. Thinking of this, she immediately said to the children: "You all wait here, don’t wander off."
After saying that, Xia Lalan went to ask passing people about Yingbo University.
"Hello, could you tell me where Yingbo University is?"
"It’s over by the University Town."
"University Town?"
"It’s on Nanbin Road, don’t you know where that is?"
"I don’t know..."
"Take a taxi there!"
"What is ’take a taxi’..."
...
After asking around, she didn’t find any useful information. Passersby looked at Xia Lalan with curiosity, thinking how strange it was for such a nice young girl to dress like this. Could she have time-traveled here? Now, who dresses like this unless they are actors filming a scene? Moreover, the questions Xia Lalan asked were even stranger. Who in Tianhai City didn’t know where University Town was, didn’t know where Yingbo University was! At worst, just take a taxi over there...
Xia Lalan felt aggrieved now. She roughly understood what the passersby meant—that Yingbo University was near some University Town, but as for where University Town was, she basically had no clue. Moreover, she didn’t understand what they meant by ’take a taxi’ and was getting anxious as she struggled to communicate.
Now she was more worried. She had not been in Tianhai for long, but she had already sensed the presence of many cultivators, which made her heart flutter with panic. She wanted to find Lin Feng as quickly as possible; otherwise, she feared something bad might happen. So even though no one showed her how to get to Yingbo University, she could only try her best to find out.
"Boss, look over there, a woman leading a bunch of kids dressed in weird outfits, what’s going on? They’re not playing cosplay, are they? Rich people sure know how to have fun. That ancient attire must cost a fortune. But boss, that woman is quite pretty, shall we go have a look? If we could trick her to come and have fun, wouldn’t that be a blast for you?"
A hoodlum said to another hoodlum with dyed blond hair, trying to be flattering. Opportunities like this were rare; one look, and you could tell the woman and the kids lacked worldly experience. If so, it was a good opportunity; they definitely had to get the boss to get this woman.
"Don’t talk like this in the future!"
Huangmao frowned upon hearing what his subordinate said and he noticed Xia Lalan and the children too. He might have entertained such ideas before, but he really wasn’t interested in these things now. However, at that moment, he vaguely overheard Xia Lalan asking about Yingbo University, which immediately caused his expression to tighten.
