C2261 Three Regrets
"I can't say for sure, I just want to see, the person who gave my stupid brother such a bold move, the one who clearly planned to make my door a public target, the one who put it on fire, and the one who could make my stupid brother pass out, the one who did not even frown a single time, what kind of method is that!"
Lin Bai didn't ask this question, which was fine. But as soon as he said it, a faint smile appeared on Cheng Wu's face, and his tone was full of mischief, sarcasm, and even a hint of dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai could only shake his head with a bitter smile. He felt even more embarrassed. Just as what Cheng Wu said, the agreement he made with the old swindler, if it were to be continued, might bring him and Lin Feng quite a bit of profit, but it was true that he would have to burn the door down, becoming the target of public criticism.
"It seems like you're not a dull person, but you've already understood the crux of this matter. That's why you intentionally wanted to lure the trouble to the east and focus all your attention on my item door!" Seeing Lin Bai's expression, Cheng Wu laughed coldly, then glared at the old swindler and hatefully said: "This kind of plan, only someone like you who has been bewitched by the pill will agree to it without a care for the benefits of the sect. If not for the fact that you are my brother, I truly want to open your head and see if it contains paste or what?!"
"How could I have known that this brat was so crafty? I thought he was suffering from the illness of not making a move. I didn't expect that he had purposely set me up!" The old swindler was dissatisfied after hearing what he said. He glared at Lin Bai and said angrily, "Like I said, you can look down on me, but you can't look down on pills. It's a good thing that you're my older brother. If it were any other person from the other families, based on your words, I would definitely fight to the end with you. I will definitely fight to the death with you! "
"With just you, you dare to talk about dueling with me? I think you old liar must be tired of living!" Seeing that his brother was being so disrespectful to him, even Cheng Wu's eyes narrowed as he angrily threatened him.
"Seniors, please calm down …" At this moment, Lin Bai was truly convinced that regardless of what happened, the two of them would be able to pull this off. He did not know if the heavens had arranged it on purpose or not, but after shaking his head with a bitter smile, he turned to Cheng Wu and asked, "Since Senior thinks that my actions are unfair and that it would be disadvantageous for your sect, does Senior still want to accept junior's suggestion?"
"Answer, take my ass!" Unless you are able to take out all of your savings and use it to make the old scammer forge pills! " As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, the old swindler immediately took over without waiting for Cheng Wu to speak. Then, he opened his mouth wide for Lin Bai. From the looks of it, he was definitely determined on ruthlessly slaying Lin Bai!
"Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here!" Hearing this, Cheng Wu looked angrily at the old swindler, and after looking up and down at Lin Bai, he slowly said: "Since he had already agreed to your suggestion, my door will not do things without a promise, even if it is detrimental to our door, we will accept this condition!"
When Lin Bai heard this, he chuckled without saying a word. In truth, he wasn't surprised by this decision of Cheng Wu's. Although the previous deal he made with the old swindler had indeed made the door open on fire, making it the target of the crowd, once the contract was completed, the benefits the door would receive far exceed the price it would have to pay.
More importantly, Lin Bai was confident that in this world, only he would be able to satisfy the requirements to enter the door. Furthermore, only he would be able to bring such generous benefits to the door.
As long as Cheng Wu was not a fool, he would definitely not reject that agreement. The reason why he acted as a weak person was because he wanted to make Lin Baicheng and the rest of them to do something to him. He wanted to tie him up as well.
"Senior, please be at ease. Since I have made an agreement with the item door, I will definitely fulfill it to the best of my abilities." As long as the door is kept, then if anything happens to the door, I, Lin Bai will also do my best to help. I will not hesitate at all. Although he was well aware of Cheng Wu's intentions, in order to show his sincerity, Lin Bai still said out loud the words that Cheng Wu had been waiting for.
"Working with someone who knows everything is a pleasure!" With regards to Lin Bai's reaction, Cheng Wu was clearly very satisfied. After nodding his head, he glared at the old liar and reprimanded him in a deep voice, "From now on, you should stop interfering with the matter of the item door and not make any decisions for the item door. You should wholeheartedly study your pill!"
"Really?" Such a decision would have been an absolute punishment to the others, but to the old swindler, it was undoubtedly a joyous news. However, this happiness had come too suddenly, and he could not believe it.
"If you are not satisfied with this arrangement, I can change it for you …" Hearing this, Cheng Wu's eyes flashed, and he angrily said: "Every time, my Sect will have many accounts to settle. If you think that refining pills is not as good as clearing accounts, then I can satisfy you and let you be pestered by those accounts every day to temper your character!"
"Only a fool would not be willing …" Hearing this, the old swindler was afraid that Cheng Wu would go back on his word and immediately agreed. He patted his chest and solemnly vowed, "As long as I have the medicine provided by this brat, I will definitely be able to concoct an exceptional pill. I will make everyone look up for me and fulfill my wish to become the World Pill King!"
Lin Bai smiled but didn't say anything. He could tell that although Cheng Wu Tong was rather harsh on the old swindler and often tried to suppress him, but in reality, this kind of harsh criticism was a form of love for the old swindler.
If Cheng Wu was really dissatisfied with the old swindler's attempt to concoct the pills and thought that he had delayed the production of the items, how could he not consider the loss and repeatedly provide him with so many medicinal herbs? One had to know that concocting pills was a costly task. Being a scammer was an unbearable pain for anyone, no matter who it was!
"What exactly is this contract you're talking about? Why can't I understand a single word?" At this time, Zhang Sanming had a puzzled look on his face as he stared at Lin Bai and Cheng Wu while asking these questions.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. When the time is right, you will naturally know what our plan is." Lin Bai mysteriously smiled, and then gave Cheng Wu and the old swindler a look, signalling them not to reveal their plans. He then confidently continued, "I want to wait until that time, there will definitely be a scene even more sensational than the Zhong Shan Large Competition!"
As Lin Bai said, he believed in his own judgment and the power of the item shop. More accurately, he believed in the old swindler's methods. Although the old swindler looked a little unreliable, he believed in the passion and perseverance in the old swindler's heart.
As long as there was absolute passion, as long as there was perseverance, what was there in this world that could not be accomplished?
However, what confused Lin Bai was that if this was all that Cheng Wu had come for, then he would just come over and explain it to him. Why go all out and visit every night, even having a fierce battle with him?
"Senior, could it be that you've come here just for this?" He believed that the reason for Cheng Wu's visit was definitely not this simple. There must be something hidden that he had not revealed, otherwise, he would not have to go through so many twists and turns.
"My reason for coming here is very simple. I just want to see how far your methods have reached. Do you have the qualifications to join hands with my door to do something big!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Wu's eyes immediately became bright as he spoke word by word.
As he got to the point, Lin Bai's heart trembled when he heard this. Immediately, he laughed gently, "I wonder what you think the result will be?"
"As you said, there are no heroes in the time. Let the young become famous!" Cheng Wu indifferently swept a glance at Lin Bai, and poured a bucket of cold water over him. He then continued, "But this result is still considered to be satisfactory. The erector can somewhat scheme against him!"
"Reluctantly, I think it's not just that, right?" However, the old swindler directly tore Cheng Wu's posture, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He stared at Cheng Wu and laughed: "I'm afraid this battle will fulfill your wish for many years, do you know that my brother once said that he has three regrets in his life!"
"Three great regrets? May I know which of the three great sects it is? " When Lin Bai heard this, he immediately asked with great interest.
"Shut up!" Cheng Wu frowned and shouted angrily at the old swindler. However, even though he said this, he still revealed a proud expression on his face and did not try to stop the old swindler. Clearly, he was quite proud of his so-called three great regrets.
"The three regrets of my brother's life are that he couldn't find someone as wonderful as himself to be a friend; the second is that he couldn't find someone as wonderful as himself to be an opponent; the third is that he couldn't find someone as wonderful to worship as himself, so when he wanted to find someone he admired, he could only find a mirror, look at himself in a mirror, and look at himself!"
The old swindler beamed with joy as he blurted out Cheng Wu's so-called three great regrets with each sentence.
What an arrogant person! Worthy of being a madman! Upon hearing the old swindler's words, Lin Bai's eyebrows twitched. He first let out a bitter laugh before repeatedly nodding his head in agreement. Truly, a person like Cheng Wu truly deserved the three great regrets!
