Chapter 179 High-profile gambling dispute(1/2)
Sun Linmao?
Lin Shen recalled it, and it seemed that he did not know such a person.
After thinking about it, he opened the island's ban and let people in from outside.
Not long after, a young man came to Lin Shen.
"Is there a problem?"
Lin Shen looked the other person up and down, and with a quick glance of his spiritual consciousness, he immediately saw that the other person was not a monk, but only had the ninth level of Ming Qiao cultivation, and had not yet begun to condense his spiritual veins.
Sun Linmao looked a little nervous.
I didn't feel comfortable talking about Lin Shen in private, but when I actually stood in front of Lin Shen and felt the powerful aura of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi on him, my whole body suddenly became uncontrollably nervous.
This is the subconscious reaction of the weak when facing the strong.
What's more, Sun Linmao's purpose of coming here was not simple, and he felt even more guilty.
After a while, Sun Linmao swallowed, cupped his hands and said:
"Senior Brother Lin, I came here on the order of Senior Brother Shan. As early as two months ago, Senior Brother Shan had reserved Jinchuan Island. You intervened in the process and snatched it. It is really against the rules. It will hurt the feelings between fellow disciples.
Please return Jinchuan Island!"
It turned out to be Shan Wenqi who sent him.
Lin Shen was stunned and smiled lightly: "There is no need to talk about unnecessary scenes. You and I both know the real situation. If we really want to talk about it in detail, it is Shan Wenqi who violated the sect's rules first."
"Jinchuan Island is now my training cave. Once it is in my hands, it is my personal property. Shan Wenqi wants me to give up Jinchuan Island with just a few words. It is too wishful thinking. Just tell him that he is ready
Why don't you snatch Jinchuan Island from me?"
There are many overt and covert fights among fellow disciples, but no matter how fierce the fight is, at least some face will be saved on the bright side. There is no one as straightforward as Lin Shen. Sun Linmao suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, thinking that Senior Brother Shan had to fulfill his instructions, he still took out the letter of challenge and handed it to Lin Shen.
"Senior Brother Lin, this is written by Senior Brother Shan himself. He has said it beforehand. If Senior Brother Lin does not agree to give up Jinchuan Island, let me give this letter to you."
"Oh?" Lin Shen took it and looked at it, a look of ridicule suddenly appeared on his face.
Not surprisingly, this letter is a declaration of war.
The content was nothing more than asking Lin Shen to choose a place to fight, and the outcome would determine the ownership of Jinchuan Island. If Lin Shen didn't agree, he could just hide on the island and be a coward, so as not to be ridiculed later.
"After all, it's not about a battle in the end. If we had said it earlier, it would have been over, and we have created so many false enemies."
Not sure if he was infected by Xia Mengran, Lin Shen felt that his speech began to become rough and white.
He was laughing in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He put the letter of challenge aside with a sneer on his face.
"But Shan Wenqi is very good at calculating. Jinchuan Island is my private property. He is betting too much on my things. Since he wants to bet, he must show his sincerity."
Sun Linmao hesitated and said, "I wonder if Senior Brother Lin has any advice?"
He couldn't make the decision in this kind of matter, so he could only listen to Lin Shen's request, then go back and report to Shan Wenqi, who would make the decision.
"Which Lingfeng Lingdao is Shan Wenqi's training cave?"
"It's Gale Island!" Sun Linmao replied without thinking.
"Then let's use Gale Island as a bet." Lin Shen smiled slightly, "Both sides use the cultivation cave as a bet. It's fair."
Only then did Sun Linmao react, and his expression suddenly changed.
He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Shen raising his hand.
"You can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Go back and tell Shan Wenqi my request. If he is willing to accept it, the winner will be decided on Jinchuan Island in ten days."
After saying this, Lin Shen didn't give Sun Linmao any chance to talk nonsense, and directly waved off the guest.
"I've finished speaking. I'm going to practice. Please come back."
Sun Linmao was still waiting to say anything, but he saw Lin Shen wave his hand, and a powerful force rushed towards his face, and his whole body was immediately pushed backwards involuntarily.
When he came back to his senses, Sun Linmao found that he had arrived outside the island, and the ban on Jinchuan Island had also been opened.
In desperation, he had no choice but to leave dejectedly, preparing to go back to report to Shan Wenqi.
Just when Sun Linmao returned, Shan Wenqi had already arrived on Feiyaan Island.
Looking around, you can see courtyards and tall buildings rising one after another on the island.
The most eye-catching thing is the magnificent palace standing in the center of the island.
The green tiles reflect the sky, the decorations are coated with gold and silver, and from a distance, the Ruodan Pavilion is full of greenery, rainbow embroidered and woven by clouds, which is extremely luxurious.
At this moment, the palace was crowded with people, and countless maids and warriors were walking around, constantly serving all kinds of fine wines and delicacies.
"Meng Fei still enjoys it so much!"
Shan Wenqi laughed and landed in front of the palace, striding into it.
There were already more than ten people in the hall, all aged between twenty-five and thirty years old. They were well-dressed and luxuriously dressed, and they were obviously descendants of aristocratic families.
The three leaders were even more powerful, and they were obviously monks like Shan Wenqi.
Hearing the voice, Li Mengfei looked back, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted him enthusiastically.
"Wen Qi is here, we have been waiting for you for more than half an hour, you will have to punish yourself with three drinks later!"
The monks Tang Ming and Duan Ziping on the side also made a fuss, asking Shan Wenqi to drink wine as a penalty.
The other disciples of the aristocratic families in the Mingqiao Realm stood aside with smiles on their faces, not daring to interrupt at will.
The children of these aristocratic families present have close ties with each other, so the clansmen often interact with each other on weekdays, and they get together from time to time to deepen their relationship with each other.
And because their respective training caves are not far from each other, there are frequent exchanges and exchanges, and over time a considerable force has been formed in the sect, which is called Hundred Islands.
Among the hundreds of islands, the Shan family is the leader, followed by the three aristocratic families of Li, Tang, and Duan.
Therefore, Shan Wenqi has the highest status among everyone.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately became a presence like the stars and the moon in the hall.
After some pleasantries, the banquet began quickly.
After three rounds of drinking, Shan Wenqingcai talked about Lin Shen and told him about sending Sun Linmao to issue a letter of challenge.
After listening, Li Mengfei pondered slightly, nodded and said:
"Jinchuan Island must be taken back. Let alone the preciousness of this cave, Lin Shen's identity alone will never allow him to get his wish!"
Tang Ming and Duan Ziping both showed expressions of deep approval.
Lin Shen was already famous, and now he has become the direct disciple of Master Yu. He can almost be said to be a benchmark figure for the younger generation of master and disciple, and his every move will attract the attention of countless people.
If Shan Wenqi was kidnapped by Lin Shen and taken away from Jinchuan Island, but he did nothing, if it was spread, people would think that the Shan family was afraid of Lin Shen?
Even the prestige of Hundred Islands will be damaged!
"Do you think Lin Shen will agree to give up Jinchuan Island?" Tang Ming said, touching his chin.
"If that's really the case, it would save us a lot of trouble." Li Mengfei laughed and then shook his head, "But it's unlikely. If Lin Shen really gives in so easily, he won't be favored by Dean Yu.
Become an apprentice."
"That's right!"
Duan Ziping agreed with Li Mengfei's words.
"I have investigated Lin Shen. When he was in Jiuyang Taoist Academy, he had conflicts with many aristocratic families, first the Yan family, the Peng family, and now the Kuang family!"
"Back then, when he had no background, he dared to go against the forces of the aristocratic family. Now that he has Master Yu as his backer, he will only become more aggressive!"
"In my opinion, he probably won't hand over Jinchuan Island so easily!"
Shan Wenqi picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said lightly: "Then let's have a fight!"
Li Mengfei glanced at him and said with a smile: "Wen Qi looks confident, but don't underestimate Lin Shen, he has a first-grade spiritual vein after all!"
"So what?" Shan Wenqi snorted coldly, "No matter how outstanding your qualifications and talents are, it will take time to transform into strength. Unless Lin Shen is given an extra year or two to practice, he will not be my opponent at all!"
Everyone present felt that Shan Wenqi's arrogant words were completely normal.
Shan Wenqi himself has the fourth level of Yunling cultivation, and his skills are not ordinary. He can fight even against ordinary fifth-level Yunling monks.
It's hard to lose against Lin Shen, who has just been promoted!
Feeling relieved, everyone started drinking and having fun again.
After a while, Shan Wenqi's expression changed, and he looked out the door with a smile.
"Junior Brother Sun is back."
Everyone turned to look outside, and sure enough, they saw Sun Linmao walking in quickly not long after.
Seeing that Sun Linmao's face didn't look very good, Shan Wenqi frowned slightly and asked:
"Junior Brother Sun, how is the matter?"
Sun Linmao bit the bullet and told the story.
After hearing this, everyone present had their eyelids twitching and looked at each other in confusion.
