Why is the system dad angry again?

Chapter 276 A bet of last resort

After arriving at the teahouse, Xia Wenyao spoke frankly. Lin Tangzhou was a little surprised. He originally came to discuss how to jointly open the secret book, but he did not expect that he came to buy the key.

"Even if you want to sell it, you have to sell it to me!" Li Chen said anxiously, "Xia Wenyao, we have agreed that whoever finds the key first will have priority!"

Lin Tangzhou was a little confused after hearing this. The relationship between the two seemed to be very bad, but they were definitely not strangers they had just met. Judging from the tone of their exchanges, it seemed that they had known each other for many years, so he curiously asked more questions. A mouthful.

Li Chen and Xia Wenyao immediately fell silent. Li Chen was the first to say: "There is nothing unexplainable about this. In fact, it is all a misunderstanding."

It turns out that the Li family and the Xia family have been friends for hundreds of years. The two families have always had a very good relationship, and they both guard the Red Flame Secret Realm together.Li Chen's mother and Xia Wenyao's mother were close friends. They made an engagement for their children when they were still pregnant. However, they did not expect that they would give birth to two boys, so they had no choice but to give up.

But the news that they had almost made an engagement had already spread throughout every household. From the time Li Chen could remember, the children had been laughing at him, saying that she was Xia Wenyao's little wife, a child bride. Because of this, he became I particularly hate Xia Wenyao, and I wish I were 800 meters away from him.

Until he was 16 years old, he and Xia Wenyao were imprisoned in the ancestral hall by several people. In order to find a way out, they actually entered the forbidden area, which is the location of the Red Flame Secret Realm. By accident, they found the place where they were suppressed. The key, and then... accidentally broke the key. The key, which was broken into three pieces, disappeared into a stream of light.

They were punished by their family, and could only be relieved of their guilt by taking the key back. They searched everywhere for ten years. Each of them found a fragment, but only the last piece was never found.

Li Chen and Xia Wenyao also made a bet. Whoever finds the last key first will unconditionally promise the other party something.

That's why they fought so fiercely at the auction house, but they didn't expect that Lin Tangzhou would get it in the end.

"In that case, can you consider it a draw?" Lin Tangzhou said, "Isn't a draw bad?"

"no!"

"No."

Both of them reacted very fiercely, and they seemed to want to win the bet.

Lin Tangzhou asked: "Can outsiders enter your secret realm?"

The two shook their heads at the same time, and it could still be seen that there was some tacit understanding at this time.

"There are still five years until the Red Flame Secret Realm is opened. Only those who have received the notice from the Li family and the Xia family can enter." Xia Wenyao explained, "Mr. Lin, this key is of no use to you."

Lin Tangzhou said again: "May I ask, where are the two young masters from?"

Li Chen said: "Lingxi City in Zhongzhou."

Lingxi City sounds a bit familiar!

Lin Tangzhou thought for a while, isn't this where the Medicine Fairy Sangyan is?

"Both of you want this key, but there is only one, and I don't know who to give it to." Lin Tangzhou sighed. This was a bit difficult for him. He originally thought he could find a secret realm to get some cultivation resources. Unexpectedly, he got involved in the dispute between the two young masters.

Li Chen was the first to say, "Young master Lin, you can ask for anything. Whether it's spiritual stones or treasures from heaven and earth, I will give them to you."

Xia Wenyao glanced at Li Chen, his eyebrows were solemn, and his air pressure dropped a bit, and he said in a deep voice: "I can promise Mr. Lin anything. If Mr. Lin wants to enter the Red Flame Secret Realm, then I can also do it for him. Please give me a post."

"Xia Wenyao, you!" Li Chen exclaimed. He didn't expect Xia Wenyao to be so bold and even dare to promise to give away such a precious post.

Lin Tangzhou suddenly had an idea in his mind. He knocked on the table and said, "I thought about it. I want to know what you will ask each other to do after you win the bet."

"This..." Xia Wenyao and Li Chen both looked confused, especially Li Chen, who looked obviously a little unnatural.

Lin Tangzhou continued: "Don't worry, I won't let you say it in front of each other, and I promise that I won't tell anyone else after hearing it, how about it?"

Xia Wenyao and Li Chen both hesitated for a while, and Li Chen said suspiciously: "Then on what basis will you choose the destination of the key?"

Lin Tangzhou blinked mischievously and said, "This is a secret, how about it? Can you give it a try?"

"Okay." The first one to agree was Xia Wenyao.

Lin Tangzhou immediately made the decision and asked the servant to prepare another room for them. In order to prevent eavesdropping, Lin Tangzhou also set up a barrier.

Xia Wenyao looked at the familiar movements in his hands and praised: "Master Lin's formation is pretty good. He must have a good master, right?"

"Master?" Lin Tangzhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "He is not my master."

They sat on the ground. Lin Tangzhou rolled his sleeves and said, "It's safe now. Mr. Xia can speak now."

Xia Wenyao lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down before slowly saying: "My bet is very simple. I want Li Chen to fulfill the unfulfilled engagement at home and marry I."

"Pfft!" Lin Tangzhou almost spat out a mouthful of water. He opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "What did you say? Marry, marry you? Aren't you two sworn enemies? Don't you hate each other?"

Xia Wenyao paused and looked hurt.

Lin Tangzhou apologized quickly, while Xia Wenyao shook his head and said: "It's okay, I don't hate him, he has been hating me."

"As long as I show a friendly look to him, he will stay away from me. I can only stand by him by pretending that I hate him too."

In fact, Xia Wenyao has liked Li Chen since he was a child, but Li Chen hated him because of the rumors about his child bride and was unwilling to associate with him. Therefore, the two had many quarrels and fights, but every time Xia Wenyao was the one who let him go. Looking at him.

The person who led them to the ancestral hall and locked them up there was all arranged by him because he needed a quiet place without being disturbed to have a serious talk with Li Chen, but Li Chen was still avoiding him , unwilling to say a word to him.

This made Xia Wenyao very frustrated and even more at a loss.

The ten years they were ordered to search for the key fragments should be the time when he felt most satisfied, because he had enough reasons to stay by Li Chen's side and protect him when he was in danger.

The relationship between the two has eased as a result, but every time he proposed to bury the hatchet with Li Chen, he would look at him with a strange expression and then shake his head silently.

Xia Wenyao had no choice but to make this bet with Li Chen.
