Chapter 246: Scamming Too Much (2)

Downstairs.

Jia Mingzhen who was "accidentally" passing by overheard the conversation and was completely stunned.

Holy shit! He was really falling behind the times! This whole thing was actually multiple schemes layered together. And he had been completely clueless. From the very beginning, this was a scam.

The data was fake. Liu Hong found out. Zheng Yunhui had swallowed 10,000 merit points for himself. And Su Yu...was going to become Liu Hong's student! Jia Mingzhen really felt like he was falling behind the times.

Su Yu was going to become Liu Hong's student. He was going to fawn on Liu He. He was going to throw money at them. Holy shit! Would Liu Hong dare to accept his money? Would he dare to take Su Yu as his student?

The single character faction had just paid 80,000 merit points for a set of data when they found out that Su Yu, the leaker of the data, was Liu Hong's people. In that case, how about their merit points?

Since Su Yu had already joined the single character faction, why should they pay so much for the data? They should be thankful for receiving only a few thousand merit points! They had to return the rest of the money to the faction!

And Liu Hong wouldn't even be given the opportunity to say no. And once they found out that the data was fake, Liu Hong wouldn't be able to shirk responsibility no matter what he did. Everyone would view him as Su Yu's fellow conspirator.

"The youngsters nowadays...are getting scary."

Jia Mingzhen muttered to himself as he left. There was no need to keep listening. He only needed to know that every single participant of the matter today was a scumbag. Every single one of them was a swindler, busy swindling each other and the world.

Inside the training center.

Suddenly, Liu Hong had a bad feeling. What was wrong? Nothing seemed to be wrong? Why was he suddenly feeling uneasy?

Back in the restaurant.

Chen Yong thought about a lot of things. He couldn't help but to say, "But if you do that and the scam is exposed, you would be in trouble as well..."

"It's fine. Liu Hong won't let it spread." Su Yu clenched his teeth and said, "Can he bear to let it happen? If the truth is exposed, we have always been at odds with the single character faction anyway, so I would be fine. How about him? His life would be finished. He would have to spit out all he had swallowed. He would also need to withstand the rage of the single character faction. He would be in a much harder position."

"He thought I would report him?" Su Yu flashed a silly smile and said, "I am a good man. An honest man. How would I do that to my benefactor? I need to repay my benefactor tenfold for the help he has given me. The next time I meet my dear benefactor, I will be sure to kowtow and pay my respects to him."

Chen Yong did not know whether to laugh or cry.

If Su Yu really did that, Liu Hong would probably feel like dying. People would wonder what was up. Why was a multiple character faction genius being so respectful to him? In that scenario, even a blind man would be able to see that something wasn't right. At that point, even if there was actually no issue, a fabricated issue would still crop out. Looking at the smile on his martial nephew's face, Chen Yong was completely speechless.

After a while, he said, "I'm getting old so I'm not interested in getting involved in things like this. Apart from my strength, I don't seem to have anything else. If you really encounter trouble, come look for me."

"I will. Thank you, Martial Uncle."

Su Yu was very earnest. He had a bright smile on his face. The smile was so bright that Chen Yong felt uncomfortable looking at it.

When he thought of what Su Yu had done, he felt really weird when looking at this smile of Su Yu's.

Su Yu stood up and said, "Let's not waste any time, Martial Uncle. Tell me my dearest benefactor's address. Let me pay him a visit. If it doesn't work, I'll look for Liu He and give him 1,000 merit points to show my gratitude."

"..."

Chen Yong was getting tired. Fine. Whatever.

Su Yu was a young man. It was good for a young man to be so energetic.

After telling Su Yu the address, Chen Yong doubtfully asked, "Is something really going to happen to Zheng Yunhui?"

"No idea."

Su Yu had zero concern for Zheng Yunhui. Their cooperation had ended. Why should he care about that fellow?

He said, "Even if he does manage to keep his blood essence, I doubt he can keep his source qi liquid. He has a few thousand drops on him. Where did he get them? You need to be careful as well, Martial Uncle. You can claim that you got your extra merit points from a return of loan. But you can't use the same excuse for source qi liquid. Thus, if caught with source qi liquid, you will be forced to think of a logical origin for it..."

Chen Yong muttered, "The academy won't be this scummy, right?"

Su Yu was completely speechless. Was the academy not scummy? His martial uncle had been in the academy for so many years. Why did it feel like he knew the academy better than this martial uncle?

The academy was absolutely scummy! Xia Huyou was the perfect example of that. When he did black market transactions, he was raided. When he started a small betting pool, he was raided as well. As long as the academy found an opening, they would not hold back.

"Forget about him. Martial Uncle, I'll be going."

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to waste his energy thinking about Zheng Yunhui. After taking his leave, he left directly. He had a benefactor to visit!

Liu Hong, his great benefactor!

If Liu Hong did not share some of what he had swallowed today, Su Yu would be sure to look for a carpenter and commission a tablet of honor to be made for him tomorrow.

On the tablet, the following words would be written: Great Benefactor Of The Multiple Character Faction.

Damn that bastard. He was too greedy. Su Yu would have taken the beating for nothing if he allowed Liu Hong to be the one to reap the greatest harvest.

...

Mental Tempering Garden.

Zheng Yunhui's vision suddenly darkened. After an unknown amount of time, he woke up and crawled out of a bush. When he checked his possessions, he cursed, "Shameless! You are resorting to robbing a student in broad daylight? You're utterly shameless! I am going to report this! I am going to report that a student has been robbed in the Mental Tempering Garden!"

After shouting at the thin air for a few minutes, Zheng Yunhui stomped off furiously. He was heading toward the exit of the academy. He wanted to go home.

"I'm finished...I actually lost the stuff. I wonder if I can buy a replacement with 3,000 drops of source qi liquid..."

He had a sullen face as he muttered to himself, "I'm screwed. Grandpa will definitely beat me to death. What should I do now? The academy is completely lawless! They actually robbed me in broad daylight!"

Zheng Yunhui was gnashing his teeth in fury. Only a few specific individuals would have the courage to rob the blood essence from him. After he spent a few minutes shouting around and seeing that nobody was coming, he immediately understood who the culprit was. He wasn't stupid.

Damn it!

He had not expected that person to be so shameless. His grandpa was right! No wonder his grandpa would spend every single day cursing that fellow. Who would his grandpa curse if not that shameless fellow?

Zheng Yunhui ran quickly. Before long, he was out of the academy. Fortunately, he still had the source qi liquid and merit points with him. These things were probably not valuable enough to catch that person's eyes. But his divine blood essence was gone.

Not long after he left the academy, a Cloudbreach cultivator appeared and collected Zheng Yunhui.

...

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

Wan Tiansheng was rubbing his chin. Something felt wrong about the whole thing.

The new students of this year...were all rather sly!

The moment he removed the stopper from the bottle, a dense blood essence aura erupted from it. A drop of blood essence flew out.

Wan Tiansheng's expression changed as peals of laughter suddenly rang out from the blood essence.

"Hahaha, fuck you! I knew you would be shameless enough to do this! Hahaha, are you embarrassed now?"

Boom!

The top floor of the Heart Cultivating Pavilion was blasted apart.

To be precise, a part of the top floor was blasted apart. Wan Tiansheng had been able to release his willpower to protect the rest of the floor in time. Instantly, about a dozen Mountainsea experts rose into the sky.

"Principal!"

"What happened?"

They were all confused. What happened?

Wan Tiansheng opened his window and calmly said, "Don't worry. It's only a small experiment. What is this excessive reaction?" "Principal, was that Geezer Zheng's voice?"

"You heard wrong." Wan Tiansheng indifferently said, "I was experimenting on a sound-related Divine Character. All sorts of sounds were mixed together. Maybe Geezer Zheng's voice is among them as well."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other doubtfully. Was that the case?

But that was a logical answer. Geezer Zheng was still in the war academy. Why would he be here? This was the Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

They did not ask more questions. Accidents caused by experiments were normal. They had merely been alarmed earlier because they heard Geezer Zheng's voice and thought that Geezer Zheng was attacking their principal or something.

...

Wan Tiansheng shut the window.

He still had a few drops of blood essence in his hand. And a surging power was still leaking out of the blood essence.

But from the surging power, Wan Tiansheng was certain that he was holding no divine blood essence in his hand. These were obviously blood essence bombs created by Geezer Zheng.

Bastard!

Wan Tiansheng clenched his teeth. He had spent his entire life scheming against others, including Geezer Zheng. This time, he had fallen for the scheme of that geezer's grandchild! Zheng Yunhui...

Suddenly, Wan Tiansheng laughed.

"Interesting. An interesting kid has emerged from the Zheng Family this generation."

Everyone thought that the kid was only slightly clever. But the kid proved with his actions that he was incredibly cunning. Wan Tiansheng was plotting for the kid's blood essence, but the kid was already prepared for that!

No wonder the kid had run off so soon after waking up. He was probably afraid that Wan Tiansheng would snatch his remaining stuff.

At the same time.

Within a large residence in the war academy, a burly man sensed something and abruptly roared with laughter.

"Hahaha! Wan Tiansheng, finally, you get your just deserts! Hahaha, my beloved grandchild has really tricked him! The Zheng Family is blessed!"

Zheng Ping laughed madly. He had been losing to Wan Tianshing his whole life. How about now? Did that bastard enjoy those bombs?

"My many days of hard work to create those bombs have not been wasted!"

Zheng Ping laughed happily. That grandchild of his was amazing!

"Hahaha! Is my blood not better than divine blood essence? After all, that's peak Mountainsea blood!" He was so excited he was practically dancing as he talked to himself.

Of course, he also knew that he wouldn't be able to do much damage to Wan Tiansheng with those bombs. But he was happy enough to embarrass Wan Tiansheng a little. That shameless bastard was actually trying to snatch their blood essence!

Whenever Zheng Ping thought of his beloved grandson, he couldn't stop smiling. How did such a genius emerge out of the Zheng Family?

"His father is dumb as a rock. He is completely unlike his father. But...he seems to have inherited some of my intelligence and wisdom..."

Zheng Ping was feeling very joyous. His intelligence had skipped a generation. Not far away, a middle-aged man looked at his old father who was laughing madly and sighed. This was the sole victory his father had ever tasted against Wan Tiansheng after so many years. Was there a need for him to get so excited?

No wonder Wan Tiansheng looked down on his father. Then again, this was proof that his father had been losing very terribly over the years. Just look at how happy he was from a tiny victory like this.

"Also, it's my son that's the smart one. That has nothing to do with you."

The middle-aged man decided to ignore his father. Clearly, his son had just made a killing again. He wondered who was the unlucky person to be ripped off this time.

"The Zheng Family still needs to rely on my son to rise further."

The middle-aged man also started fantasizing in joy. He told himself that an apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His son was only so smart due to a good father like him.
