He was already prepared to be beaten up and humiliated. Even so, he was determined to protect his disciple! Just because he was useless didn't mean his disciple was as well. This was Hao Yue's final stand.
I see you, you fat fool, just looking for a fight!
As Qing Shu spoke, she was ready to strike, her terrifying aura instantly unleashed. Duan San was already trembling in fear! Because every time their master was beaten by Shifu Niang, they would also be punished by Shifu Niang's disciples. Especially since those disciples had the same temper as Shifu Niang.
"Stop right there!"
At that moment, Lin Feng could no longer stand by and coldly spoke up.
"Huh?"
Duan San was taken aback; he couldn't understand what Lin Feng was trying to do at such a critical moment. Wasn't this courting death?
"Lin Feng, shut your mouth!"
Hao Yue also didn't expect his Liu Disciple to be so reckless. When his wife went crazy, it could lead to serious trouble.
The disciples behind Qing Shu all glared coldly, ready to act at a single command from her. Qing Shu herself was also taken aback; how dare her husband's new disciple speak to her in such a tone?
"Do you even know what you're saying?"
Qing Shu halted her movements and turned to Lin Feng, fixing him with a cold gaze that seemed to promise dire consequences if he dared to provoke her further.
At that moment, Yu Ziling felt a bit worried!
"You are my master's wife; I should call you Shifu Niang. Shifu Niang said my master is useless and that we are too! May I ask what criteria you use to distinguish between waste and genius?"
Lin Feng stood proudly without an ounce of fear, speaking calmly as if he were merely stating facts.
"Ha! Who do you think you are to speak to Master like that?"
The woman in a light blue dress, with flowing purple hair, wore a mocking expression on her face. She exuded an air of dominance, completely disregarding Lin Feng. After all, she was unaware that Lin Feng had already reached the Primordial Martial Realm. In her eyes, he was no better than that useless Duan San!
Even if she were to learn of Lin Feng's true strength, she would only be slightly surprised; she would still hold her head high and look down on him with disdain.
"Are you perhaps Shifu Niang? What right do you have to speak while I am conversing with her?"
Her words dripped with arrogance and ambition. Although Lin Feng was unsure of the woman's abilities, he felt an overwhelming confidence in himself.
Lin Feng's words were shocking and unyielding!
As soon as he spoke, the entire place fell silent. Hao Yue and Duan San trembled in response, yet Hao Yue quickly stepped in front of Lin Feng to protect him.
After all, one must protect their own kin, and she was even more protective of her husband!
"Qing Shu, this child doesn't understand and speaks out of turn. Please don't take it to heart! I apologize on his behalf; if you're upset, direct your anger at me," Hao Yue said, bowing her head respectfully.
"Master, this person spoke to me in such a disrespectful manner, which is a grave insult to you!"
The woman was proud and favored by Qing Shu; she was known as one of the beauties in the Sect, with many suitors. She had never been insulted like this before. Thus, she sought an opportunity from Qing Shu to teach Lin Feng a lesson.
"Master, what my senior sister says is true! This newcomer dares to speak like this not only to my senior sister but even to you!"
There was a chorus of agreement from the other disciples, all filled with indignation and eager to see Lin Feng punished severely.
Lin Feng remained calm and unperturbed. Shifu Niang was the type of person who could be sharp-tongued, yet deep down, she wasn't entirely bad. Provoking her like this would surely play into her hands! Her temper was fierce, and she didn't hold Lin Feng or his master in high regard.
"You little rascal, you've got some guts!" Even though he was considered useless, he was a bold useless one, far better than his master and those senior brothers and sisters.
"I'm not someone who bullies the weak," Shifu Niang replied. "But it’s only natural for me to vent my frustrations on you when my disciple is upset. However, given your courage, I’ll let you off this time—but there has to be a wager!"
"You asked how to distinguish between a useless person and a genius. It’s simple: if you can defeat my disciple Lian Xin on the Dueling Platform after being taught by this so-called useless person for a month, then you’ll be the genius, and she’ll be the useless one! If you lose, you must bow your head in apology and call yourself useless. Your master must also bring along the other disciples to bow their heads and admit they are useless! And it must be done in front of everyone at Tian Guang Square!"
Qing Shu could swallow her anger but needed an opportunity to vent it as well. This was also a test—to see if this newly accepted disciple truly had guts and wasn’t burdened by the so-called dignity that men often clung to.
Seeing Qing Shu’s serious expression, Hao Yue quickly intervened, "Qing Shu, there’s really no need for this! Let me apologize on his behalf; I can call myself useless instead!"
"Master doesn’t need to go that far!" Lin Feng interjected. "I accept this wager. No matter what strength this senior sister possesses, I will defeat her! But if I win, what do I gain? Just shedding the title of useless and becoming a genius? That seems a bit unfair to me!"
Lin Feng moved closer to Hao Yue, his eyes deep and resolute as he spoke.
"Hao Yue!" Hao Yue exclaimed anxiously. He knew Lin Feng had achieved Yuan Wu Yiceng at the age of twenty, but he still wasn’t a match for Lian Xin! Even if they had a month, he wouldn’t stand a chance against her.
If Lian Xin loses, she will bow her head and admit her mistakes, calling herself a waste. I will also bring other disciples to bow to your master and admit our faults, similarly calling ourselves wastes! How about that?
Qing Shu felt that Lin Feng was trying to evade the bet, and she looked down on him from the bottom of her heart, thinking he was not someone with true courage. She directly used the same stakes to block Lin Feng's path. She was certain that her key disciple, who had already entered the Heavenly Ranking, would not lose.
It’s a deal!
Lin Feng felt satisfied, but Hao Yue and Duan San were completely shattered. Even though Duan San thought Lin Feng was strong, he couldn't possibly be stronger than Meng Lianxin. After all, she was the Heavenly Proud Daughter who had been on the Heavenly Ranking for quite some time!
See you in a month! Get ready to be humiliated! A waste is always a waste!
Meng Lianxin's eyes sparkled with disdain as she casually dropped her harsh words. Ha! An empty-headed waste! Is he really stronger than the other wastes?
The other disciples mocked him in various ways, which made Hao Yue and Duan San very displeased. However, what worried them more was Lin Feng. They could bow their heads and admit their faults, calling themselves wastes, but on the Dueling Platform, life and death were at stake! It was easy to be discarded or even killed.
After Qing Shu left proudly with everyone else, Hao Yue helplessly said to Lin Feng, "You are too reckless! I know you are talented, but you should also understand how strong your enemies are!"
