Chapter 396: I’m Good at Framing People!
Mei Hong was even more nervous.
Earlier, he had wanted nothing more than to draw Chu Feng. But now, he was afraid of encountering Chu Feng.
He had no choice. This guy could really take his life!
But he did not know if it was fate.
In the second round, Mei Hong’s opponent was Chu Feng.
Enemies were bound to meet.
Mei Hong’s face turned pale.
He hurriedly asked his big brother, Mei Changqing, for help.
“Big Brother! Save me!”
Unlike Mei Weiya, Mei Hong and Mei Changqing were biological brothers from the same mother.
With their bloodlines connected, they were naturally closer.
Therefore, after seeing the results of the draw, Mei Changqing’s expression turned ugly.
He valued his younger brother very much. He would leave some things that were inconvenient for him to do to Mei Hong. Mei Hong could be considered his right-hand man.
“Big Brother… Quick, think of something! I’ve already offended that fellow to death. He definitely wants to kill me!”
Mei Changqing frowned.
But he could not participate in other people’s competitions.
Unless… he bribed Chu Feng?
In Mei Changqing’s eyes, he believed that everything in this world had a price.
So what if they were mortal enemies previously? As long as the benefits were sufficient, they could still turn enemies into friends.
Furthermore, the Mei family had always been at a disadvantage. Chu Feng did not suffer any losses.
Therefore, the next moment, Mei Changqing looked directly at Chu Feng and sent a voice transmission.
“Brother Chu Feng, right? Previously, my younger brother was young and ignorant. He offended you greatly. Can you give me some face and spare him this time? If Brother Chu agrees, I can make the decision. The grudge between Brother Chu and my Mei family will be written off.”
After a pause, Mei Changqing said faintly, “Of course, if Brother Chu is willing to deliberately lose to Mei Hong… The Mei family will naturally not mistreat you. How about ten Desolate Crystals?”
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.
How generous.
It was equivalent to using ten drops of Star Domain Essence in exchange for him losing?
One had to know that ten drops of Star Domain Essence was enough to buy an S-rank warrior once.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng did not care.
Before Chu Feng could reply, the competition was about to begin. Mei Changqing seemed to be impatient. His voice began to turn cold.
“Of course, if Brother Chu really doesn’t know what’s good for you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to walk out of the Revolutionary Army’s headquarters today. A declining An family can’t protect you…”
A stick and a carrot.
Mei Changqing used them perfectly.
If it were an ordinary genius warrior, they would have long submitted.
After all, it was not a wise choice to offend the local tyrant when he was alone in the Revolutionary Army.
However, Chu Feng merely dug his ears. Then, he suddenly grinned at Mei Changqing.
This surprised Mei Changqing, who opened his mouth.
“Brother Chu, do you agree? Very good. Usually, smart people can live longer.”
But the next moment, Mei Changqing was stunned.
An extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded in the world.
“Brother Chu Feng… My brother is young and ignorant… If Brother Chu is willing to deliberately lose to Mei Hong… Don’t be ungrateful…”
It was actually the message he had sent Chu Feng earlier!
“How is that possible?!”
Mei Changqing was stunned.
He had never heard that voice transmissions between warriors could be recorded and played!
Chu Feng merely smiled lightly.
His soul was powerful to begin with, and he had learned too many things from the blondie that he shouldn’t have…
Just because others could not do it did not mean that Chu Feng could not do it too!
“I’m sorry, Young Master Mei. I’m very afraid of what you’re saying. I can only post it for everyone to judge.”
In an instant, Mei Changqing’s face turned ashen.
It was too late to stop him now.
Everyone heard it clearly.
The young master of the Mei family had manipulated the competition and threatened the contestants…
There was no way to explain!
If this crime was confirmed, the consequences would be rather serious.
After all, this competition concerned the seats of three Councilors!
Whoever dared to bend the law in this matter would be directly challenging the authority of the Chairman!
That was the supreme leader of the entire Revolutionary Army!
Therefore, even the City Lord Frederick had a serious expression on his face. He looked like he would arrest someone if there was a disagreement.
Chu Feng merely looked at them coldly.
How dare you threaten me?
Am I, Chu Feng, someone who would obediently be threatened?
“No… I didn’t…”
Mei Changqing was no longer as calm as before. He was a little flustered.
It was almost impossible to defend himself.
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed at the air, extinguishing the sound!
Immediately after, a figure in a golden-patterned purple robe slowly appeared in the world. A burst of laughter could be heard.
“Haha, Frederick, don’t tell me you took the nonsense between children seriously? Even Changqing wouldn’t dare to manipulate such a big matter like the Grand Competition.”
“He’s probably too worried about his younger brother’s safety and spoke without thinking.”
The sound was deafening.
Everyone could not help but look up.
Mei Long!
The head of the Mei family!
The true leader of the White Elves, and also one of the current Sacred War Kings!
His strength was unfathomable!
His status in the Revolutionary Army was enough to rank in the top five.
At this moment, this big shot could no longer sit still. He personally jumped out to help Mei Changqing.
“Right, right, right! I was just too worried about Little Hong’s safety. I really didn’t mean that. I just wanted to deceive Chu Feng. Even if he really admitted defeat obediently, I wouldn’t fulfill my promise!”
Mei Changqing hurriedly agreed.
In order to cut ties, he even said that he would not keep his promise.
“Gasp… This eldest son of the Mei family is really shameless.”
“Why didn’t I see that Mei Changqing was such a person before?”
Everyone discussed.
He was humiliated in public.
Mei Changqing even wanted to die.
He had never suffered such humiliation!
At this moment, Frederick frowned and was in a dilemma.
Since this person had appeared in person, this matter would be difficult.
If he were to leave Mei Changqing alone, he would be severely punished if the Chairman were to pursue the matter in the future.
That person could not tolerate cheating!
However, if he wanted to forcefully capture Mei Changqing and take away his qualification to participate in the competition, Mei Long would probably not agree.
After all, the current Mei Changqing basically represented a seat of the Mei family! He could not lose it!
He was in a dilemma!
Unless… Chu Feng could change his words and admit that what he had said to Mei Changqing was just a joke!
Whether the others believed it or not, only with such an excuse could he not offend either of them.
At the thought of this, Frederick suddenly felt aggrieved.
Back then, he had been unwilling to participate in the internal power struggle of the Revolutionary Army. That was why he had chosen to retreat to the back and nurture junior geniuses for the Revolutionary Army.
But who would have thought?
To think that he would get into such a mess just by hosting a Heavenly Talent Tournament!
Unlucky!
Anyway, Frederick had already made up his mind.
Mei Long, if you have the ability, you better send this excuse over yourself!
Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk of being punished by the Chairman to help Mei Changqing!
Their relationship had not reached that stage yet!
If you’re not capable, let’s do business!
In the sky, Mei Long, who was wearing a golden-patterned purple robe, seemed to understand something from Frederick’s gaze.
He frowned.
The key now was actually still that junior?
However, what kind of existence was he? He had roamed the Abyss for countless years, but he was actually being at the disposal of a junior?
