Chapter 57: Heartbroken in the Pacific Ocean

Before Feng Wei could reply, the old man with the smelly shoes walked up to him, still with his chest bared and rubbing his chest, and said to Feng Wei, “It’s really strange. You’re the same age as his master, and you’re bullying a little kid?”

The shoe-sniffing old man’s words caused a round of applause from the people watching the fun. Obviously, no matter how strange or bizarre the people in this circle are, justice is still in the hearts of the people.

“Gu Chaowen, you’re taking this too far, aren’t you? Last time you defended this kid, and now you’re jumping up and down again? Although this kid’s master is quite famous in the righteous world, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it? Besides, you said he was a little kid. In my circle, seniority is not determined by age. How is his ability like a little kid?” Feng Wei’s face is really thick. What about my ability has anything to do with him?

But what did the old man mean by protecting me last time? I glanced at the old man and remembered that he had appeared at the ghost market last night and had even talked to Feng Wei. Could it be that time?

This made me subconsciously look deeply at Shen Xing. Shen Xing seemed to have opened up, and said lightly, “Grandpa Gu is a very nice person. I participated in a ghost market once and got to know him. I went to find him.”

So that’s what it was all about. In other words, the old man was helping us because he wanted to give Shen Xing face.

I just thought so, but Shen Xing said, “Of course, the reason why Grandpa Gu is willing to help is because he has a lot of respect for your master. He said he didn’t want you younger people, who no longer have the protection of the previous generation, to be bullied.”

These words made my heart ache, and Chengxin’s face was also a bit sad, but we were also quite moved. This old man Gu is actually a warm-hearted person.

When faced with Feng Wei’s sharp words, Gu Laoren just laughed and said, “Feng Wei, no matter what you say, you can’t force people to fight here. Under my nose, don’t even think about doing anything sneaky!”

When he said the last sentence, Gu Laoren’s momentum suddenly increased. Where was the dirty, trash-picking old man?

Facing Gu Laoren’s momentum, Feng Wei did not dare to meet his sharpness. He laughed a few times and said, “I didn’t say I wanted to do anything. I just want to fight him fairly. You also said that if he doesn’t agree to a duel, no one can force him. But if he agrees to a duel, you have no right to interfere, right?”

When Feng Wei said this, there were some mocking voices around, and Gu Laoren didn’t bother to talk to him. Obviously, in their eyes, I would never agree to this unfair duel. Of course, I thought the same way. I’m not really a smartass. Why would I take the initiative to take things on myself?

Feng Wei didn’t care about the stares around him, but looked at me and said, “Chen Chengyi, for fairness, I will fight you in a way that will not harm you. As long as you can harm me even a little, I will lose. And I will only use one spell throughout the entire process. What do you think?”

No, I didn’t even consider it. To use an analogy, if I were to fight against my master, he would only need to use one move and I would be finished, not to mention hurting him. Feng Wei may not be as good as my master, but he is at least a well-known master in the circle.

“Not interested!” I stretched lazily and turned away with Chengxin and Shen Xing.

“Chen Chengyi, I’m using the most mysterious Ghost Market quota as a bet for the battle. My quota is yours, but you’re not interested either? Do you know the most mysterious Ghost Market? Only people with a certain status in the circle are eligible to participate. For example, your master, once…” Feng Wei’s voice came from behind me. He mentioned my master, and my steps almost stopped at the same time as Chengxin’s.

At this moment, Gu Laoren suddenly pushed Feng Wei and shouted, “Feng Wei, you can’t reveal the information about the Ghost Market. Don’t break the rules and attract punishment.”

I stared at Feng Wei, but he acted like a scoundrel and said, “Have I said a word? No? I just said that his master participated a few years ago. What’s the problem? This can’t be said.”

The old man looked at me anxiously, but I felt like a fire had been lit in my heart. I stood up and said, “I’ll do it.”

“I’ve got the prize, you should have one too, right? I’ll find a way to get the tiger claws back to the tiger spirit,” Feng Wei whispered.

This was his goal. He was looking at me at the moment, with a hint of nervousness on his face. He was afraid that the quota for the Mystery Ghost Market was not attractive enough for me. After all, it was impossible for a junior like me to understand what the Mystery Ghost Market was.

He probably didn’t know about our obsession with the previous generation. He just used my master’s participation to lure me, but he had no idea that he had hit the nail on the head and touched my most sensitive nerve.

Tiger Claw? Really? It’s just one move, so I have a better chance of winning. Maybe I shouldn’t be so impulsive, but I can’t suppress the heat in my heart. If my master had participated a few years ago, the clues in here would be huge. I can’t say the word “give up.”

But I still couldn’t let go. I clenched my fists, almost cutting my palms until they bled, repeatedly calculating the possibility of a move. My greatest reliance, the progress I’ve made over the years, finally I let out a word: “Good!”

Chengxin stood up and said, “No, whether it’s a move or not, you’re too bullying. Add me to the fight, that’s more like it.”

Feng Wei looked at Cheng Xin and said with disdain, “I’m really embarrassed to bully you, the Yi Zi pulse.”

I pulled Chengxin over and whispered in his ear, “Chengxin, don’t be impulsive. He doesn’t understand the methods of the Li family’s medical lineage. You should keep it as a trump card. We have too many treasures, and maybe someone has already taken a liking to us. I just want to say that my Zhongmao technique has increased in power by at least 30% in the past few years.”

Brother Chengxin looked at me in surprise, then shrugged his shoulders at Feng Wei and said, “Well, if you don’t want to bully me, I won’t come to you to be bullied, so let’s forget it.”

Feng Wei laughed arrogantly and said to me, “Chen Chengyi, a gentleman’s promise is worth a thousand in gold. Don’t forget what you promised today. I won’t bully you either, so you can go back and rest. Our duel is scheduled for the afternoon of the last day. Hahaha…”

Feng Wei laughed proudly. At this time, Lin Chen had already been lifted up by his servants with a few sheets. His consciousness was still clear. He looked at me and said, “Chen Chengyi, we are not friends, but I believe you may not lose. What I have to say has already been written in the letter. I will leave the ghost market one step ahead this time. Remember what you said, and we will fight again next year.” As he spoke, his voice suddenly became lower, saying, “bury Irene well, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble.”

He was referring to Feng Wei, but this trouble was also an opportunity. This kid was still kind, and in the end, he didn’t reveal that I would be able to use the art of the mausoleum, and that I could invite the master to possess my body. I believe that Feng Wei is not necessarily better than Wu Liyu.

This is what my brother Chengxin and I are confident about.

“I’ve become like this, so you won’t stop me from leaving the Ghost Market early, will you?” Lin Chen looked at Gu Chaowen and Feng Wei and said.

Gu Chaowen said he didn’t care, but Feng Wei smiled and said, “If the jiao bone is left behind, there will be no resistance.”

This is a blatant threat. It seems that Feng Wei doesn’t care about reputation or face at all. He is a person of the evil way, and his character is naturally extreme and insidious.

Lin Chen only said one sentence: “Jiao Gu give you? Can you afford it? If I remember correctly, it was given to me by a senior in our organization. I can give it to you. Think about it carefully. Do you want it or not?”

Lin Chen is not someone who can be manipulated by others. As soon as he said that, Feng Wei’s face changed. After a while, he said, “You can leave.”

Obviously, he didn’t dare to take it, and Lin Chen sneered and let a few of his followers carry him away.

I sighed in my heart. The remaining members of our Li family are really pitiful. They can only rely on themselves! But Master once said that we should walk our own path and bear our own karma.

Similarly, if we always rely on the protection of the older generation, we will never be able to find our own path, let alone the day when we will be able to go to Kunlun and resolve our obsessions.

At this point, the dust had settled, and everything that needed to be said had been said. I paid no more attention to Feng Wei, and left with Brother Chengxin and Shen Xing. The people also dispersed.

Whether I admit it or not, I really am a smarty-pants. This is not the end of the story. Should I hum the most popular song of the day, “Sad Pacific”?

I couldn’t help but let out a cry: “One wave has not yet subsided, and another wave is coming. In the vast sea of people, there is a storm…”

“Deeply sad in the deep Pacific Ocean!” Brother Chengxin smiled and added a line.

In return, Shen Xing laughed all the way.
