Mei Hongli (2)

After hearing Feng Luotian mentioned about the entrance exam, instead of exploding in anger for reminding his past shame, Mei Hongli grinned from ear to ear.

Same with his men, they snickered among themselves, which made both Feng Luotian and Sun Wuji perplexed by their reaction.

A second later, Mei Hongli arrogantly laughed out loud: "Impossible!! Do you know who will be overseeing the entrance exam of Peacock School this year? It's my father, you bastards!! There is no way I can't take the top, let alone the possibility of failing the exam."

The realization came to both of the confused youths.

"Oh? So, you are saying you will cheat your way through the top by relying on your father?" Feng Luotian could speculate what this chubby young master meant in a flash.

"Pathetic. No brain, no talent whatsoever. Do you think just being the exam proctor's son would take you to the top?" Sun Wuji remarked.

Two of them concluded that this Mei Hongli would definitely cheat the entrance exam in some way. Being the exam proctor's son, he would have countless ways to take advantage of others. That was why Mei Hongli was confident in taking the top score in the exam.

Alas, the man himself did not want to admit it.

"Who said I would cheat? Feng Luotian, today you are quite brave, huh? To have the courage to talk back to every word I say? Have you forgotten what you are? Do I have to beat some sense into you, Cripple Boy?" Mei Hongli began cracking his knuckles, wanting to threaten Feng Luotian to the usual obedience.

If the one standing here and now was Feng Luotian from before, he would not dare to talk much because he was afraid that it would come to a fight. And Sun Wuji would be the one fighting and getting hurt as a result. Naturally, he did not want that, but today was different. The one standing here and now was not just him of the past.

"Nothing. I just don't believe that you can take the top rank while Yue'er is also participating." Feng Luotian coolly responded to Mei Hongli without breaking a sweat.

Seeing his brother's unyielding spirit today, Sun Wuji smiled and was ready to fight any time: "Yeah!! Don't you know Sister Mei has become a Seven Fangs Fighter? She will surpass you in no time."

"What?! Yue'er is now Seven Fangs?" Mei Hongli was stunned by the news.

But it was only a moment of astonishment before the chubby guy started to shamelessly brag his own might: "Heh, so what? She has just become one, but I have been at Seven Fangs for a long time. I'm still superior and will take the top to conquer her heart. The result would be the same anyway."

After hearing what Mei Hongli said, both Feng Luotian and Sun Wuji were shocked by his words and gave each other a serious glance before they ...

"Pfft … Hahaha!! I have been at Seven Fangs for a long time? You actually used that reason to brag? Brother Feng, this is too hilarious." Sun Wuji could not hold in his laughter, so he burst out everything in mind.

"Yeah, if you have been at Seven Fang for a long time, then why have you not reached Eight Fangs yet?" Feng Luotian similarly laughed.

"Mei Hongli, you are really capable. You can hurt my stomach so bad without lifting a finger. Hahaha!! Ah, my stomach!!" Sun Wuji acted it out to increase the hilariousness of the show.

"Even more than that, you are two years older than Yue'er. With the same cultivation level now, and you think you are superior? I will give you one." Feng Luotian gave Mei Hongli a thumbs up.

"You two are courting death!!" Mei Hongli burst into a rage after being insulted in such a way. A green aura seeped out from his body as he activated his Theríon.

Sun Wuji put away his laughter and immediately moved in front of Feng Luotian before activating his Theríon.

But before the fight broke out, a voice sounded.

"How about a bet?"

It was Feng Luotian, who casually threw in a comment. Four words from him dispersed Mei Hongli's overwhelming aura. He clearly knew Mei Hongli's character, desire and intention.

In another timeline, Feng Luotian had crossed these types of people too many times that he could count, so he knew how to deal with them.

"A bet? What kind?" Mei Hongli became interested and asked.

"I bet you will not place first in the exam this time. If I am right, you will have to do one thing for me." Feng Luotian proposed the condition.

Mei Hongli let out a snort: "Heh, how confident you are. And what if I do become the top rank?"

"Then you can request one thing of me."

Sun Wuji quickly interjected: "Brother Feng, what are y—"

Feng Luotian interrupted his brother's question by raising his hand as a gesture that everything would be fine.

Mei Hongli became intrigued by the bet and said: "Is that so? I'll make that demand now, so everything will be clear later on."

"Speak." Feng Luotian indifferently said.

"If I can take the top ranking in this entrance exam of Peacock School that will happen in the following month, then you, Feng Luotian, have to stop speaking to Mei Yue'er and stay as far away from her as possible forever!!" Mei Hongli stated every word clearly so as to not let Feng Luotian back out by using a twist of words.

Feng Luotian merely chuckled and replied back with no hesitation at all: "Fine. Since you wish for this to be forthright, I will make my demand here and now as well. In case you, Mei Hongli, cannot take the top ranking in this entrance exam of Peacock School that will happen in the following month, you will have to only do things that would benefit Mei Clan and protect this city with your life on the line forever!!"

"!!" Mei Hongli was stunned by Feng Luotian's demand: "I have to only do things that would benefit Mei Clan and protect this city with your life on the line? Hahaha!! Did you hit your head this morning? You want me to do things for my own clan? And you want me to protect this untouchable city? The one your father, God, declared to protect?"

The rest of the group also laughed at Feng Luotian. Not only did Mei Hongli consider Feng Luotian's request to be quite ridiculous, but the rest of them also thought the same, including Sun Wuji.

One would normally do things for their own clan or family. And there was no point in protecting the city where no one would ever come to attack.

However, Feng Luotian was still indifferent and asked: "Do you accept my terms or not?"

"!!" Mei Hongli was slightly taken aback.

"Fine, I accept." Seeing that there was no harm in Feng Luotian's conditions at all, Mei Hongli impassively accepted the bet, not knowing that it would change his fate forever.

Mei Hongli pointed his finger to Feng Luotian and grimly reminded: "Keep your words when the time comes. Let's go."

With that, Mei Hongli left with his men.

Sun Wuji felt that it was of no benefit to Feng Luotian at all. He was confused about what his friend was trying to do by proposing this bet: "Brother Feng, why did you do this? The request you made was so easily done, or rather, he might not have a chance to carry it out."

"Easily done? Not have a chance? Haha, Wuji, do not worry about it. My term is much more difficult than his. And I'm afraid that there is no way he will take the top while we're participating." Feng Luotian casually explained his action.

"How could you be so sure? His father will be overseeing the exam this year." Sun Wuji was even more confused by his brother's overwhelming confidence.

"Everything will be just fine, and I know it." Feng Luotian smiled with determination flashing through his eyes.

Sun Wuji shook his head and sighed: "Let's hope you're right, or else, Sister Mei is going to kill you."
