As no one could see Yi Yun’s smile, no one knew what he was thinking.
Shen Tu Nantian narrowed his eyes. He never expected that Yi Yun would need the Thousand Hand Granny’s and his help in probing the Great Empress relic. What was this kid scheming?
“Granny, what do you think is the underlying meaning is?” Shen Tu Nantian sent a Yuan Qi transmission to the Thousand Hand Granny.
The Thousand Hand Granny sneered and transmitted back, “This little bastard is just deliberately courting death. I don’t believe that a Yuan foundation realm junior like him is able to do anything when even an empyrean-level Desolate Heaven Master can’t resolve or even detect the relic’s flaw!”
“Also, we will not let this kid destroy the relic. This will make it even more difficult to discover the relic’s flaw!”
The Thousand Hand Granny stood up while saying this. She walked to the middle of the square. She was a head shorter than Yi Yun, but her aura suppressed the entire venue.
“Little bastard, I want to see what game you want to play!”
“Oh!? Are you agreeing to it?” Yi Yun retorted.
“What a joke! Why would I not agree? However, do you think that a junior like you can slander my Shen Tu family clan’s honor? Since you are maligning my Shen Tu family clan today, you will need to pay the price! If I were to let you off, wouldn’t my Shen Tu family clan be the laughing stock of the world!?”
“I will give you an hour. If you cannot prove that the Great Empress relic is problematic, then you will need to hand your life over to me for my disposal!”
The Thousand Hand Granny said with a grin. She could tell that the Lin family’s Matriarch intended to protect Yi Yun. She was not serious when she had previously threatened not to heal Lin Xintong’s natural Yin Meridians and killing Yi Yun.
Immediately, everyone looked at Yi Yun. This had suddenly become a bet with his life at stake!
Once Yi Yun agreed to it, the Matriarch could no longer protect him.
If Yi Yun were to lose, who knew what sort of inhumane torture he would suffer before his death!?
“Yi Yun… !”
Lin Xintong’s concerned voice rang in Yi Yun’s ear. She had never expected things to develop to such a point. Yi Yun had stood up for her, but now, even Yi Yun’s life was at stake as well!
Lin Xintong had wished to see Yi Yun make an attempt. Any tiny bit of hope was after all, good. However, once lives were at stake, it was no longer the same. It was too difficult for Yi Yun to prove that a desolate bone relic of this grade was problematic. She was afraid that he did not have much confidence.
“Don’t take the risk! This has nothing to do with you!”
Lin Xintong wanted Yi Yun to rein in the horse at the edge of the precipice. Yi Yun’s expression had slightly turned serious. He had to carefully consider it with his life on the line.
Seeing that Yi Yun was afraid, Shen Tu Nantian was naturally pleased. “Granny, that was great! Let’s see how this naive kid can jump up and down with his life at stake.”
“Hmph! He just has a vague feeling. It’s impossible for him to find the flaw. If he dares agree to it, it will be something that I greatly welcome!”
The atmosphere in the square froze. Yi Yun stood silently in the middle. No one could tell what his expression was under that cold, silver mask.
Irrevocably committed? Why did you act as such knowing that this would be the outcome? Since you are now in the limelight, it is time to pay the price.
The Shen Tu family clan’s Elders all felt their frustration vent. This ignorant junior really made their blood boil.
“Yun!” Shen Tu Nantian looked mockingly at Yi Yun, “If you kneel down and kowtow to us to confess your wrongdoings, my Shen Tu family clan will not pursue this matter!”
Shen Tu Nantian was feeling very comfortable at this moment. He had been suppressing the pangs of fire for the past few days.
