Chen Junhao was too shameless. He knew that he would definitely win, so he added another 30,000,000 to the original bet!
At this moment, the people who came to their senses all had the same thought in their minds.
In their opinion, Linlong would not dare to take the bet, and might even kneel down to apologize. After all, 30,000,000 was not a small amount.
However, to their surprise, Linlong bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the rune paper as if he did not know that it was a trap in front of him.
Seeing this situation, the people around him could not help but shake their heads.
After dripping a drop of blood, Linlong said to the tall and sturdy man in the void, "I, Lin Li, agree to Chen Junhao's bet."
"Alright, the rune contract is in effect. Anyone who violates the contract will be punished by the God of Contracts. A light punishment will be crippled, and a heavy punishment will be death!" The tall and sturdy man said.
His voice was like a bell ringing in the ears of the people around him, and it only disappeared after seven or eight times.
After the voice disappeared, the tall and sturdy man also disappeared, and the rune paper that was originally erected in front of Linlong flew back to Chen Junhao's hand.
"This matter is settled. Everyone, we will see each other in a month's time at the competition on Pingxing Island!"
After saying that, Chen Yu and Chen Junhao left with Li Tong, feeling proud of themselves.
A few people wanted to comfort Linlong, but seeing that he agreed to such an extremely unfair contract, they could not help but shake their heads and leave.
Only Liu Gang walked to Linlong's side.
"Brother Lin, Li Tong is much more talented than the two of them. It will be extremely difficult for you to win this bet." Liu Gang sighed.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu. We will cross the bridge when we come to it." Linlong smiled calmly.
After saying a few more words, Liu Gang also left helplessly.
Linlong walked out of the courtyard with Li Yunhai.
Li Yunhai followed behind him silently.
After walking to a place where there was no one, Linlong said to Li Yunhai, "Yunhai, tell me, did you not want to meet me and enter Yangning Island?"
Although Li Yutang and Li Yunhai did not say anything during the whole process, how could Linlong not see that Li Yunhai was forced to come by Li Yutang?
Hearing Linlong's words, Li Yunhai couldn't help being startled. He hadn't expected Linlong to be able to see through it.
He hurriedly said, "Master, it's not that I don't want to come, but Grandpa doesn't allow me to come. Just now, Grandpa happened to go out because he had something to do. That's why Patriarch Li was able to drag me here."
"My parents passed away a long time ago, leaving only my grandfather and I to depend on each other," he added.
"Oh?" Linlong furrowed his brows.
Obviously, he had been tricked by Li Yutang, because even if he took Li Yunhai away, if Li Yunhai's grandfather came to Yangning Island to make trouble, he could only ask Li Yunhai to come back.
It seemed that he could only look for Li Yunhai's grandfather first.
To be honest, Linlong also planned to meet the person behind Li Yunhai. After all, if Li Yunhai could use such a special method, there must be an extraordinary person behind him. Now it seemed that this person should be his grandfather.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Linlong asked, "Who taught you all your knowledge about runes?"
"Grandpa only allowed me to learn some of the knowledge that the patriarch announced. The rest was taught to me by my grandfather," Li Yunhai answered honestly.
Li Yunhai's answer made Linlong feel that his guess should be close to the mark. However, Linlong couldn't figure out why his grandfather only allowed Li Yunhai to learn some public knowledge.
"Alright, then let's go see your grandfather." Saying that, Linlong let Li Yunhai lead the way to Li Yunhai's house.
After walking for a while, the two arrived in front of a stone house, but they didn't enter immediately because someone was talking inside.
"Yutang, didn't I say not to let Yunhai go? Why did you still bring him there!" An old man questioned from inside.
This old man must be Li Yunhai's grandfather, and the person talking to him should be the patriarch, Li Yutang.
"Elder De, this is what the fifth-grade rune master, Chen Yu, asked me to do. He has the support of Hall Master Lu Yu, and our tribe can't afford to offend him. So, for the sake of the tribe, I can only bring Yunhai along." Li Yutang smiled bitterly.
"Even if Pan Qi comes personally, I won't let Yunhai go!" The old man said.
"Elder De, you can't always tie Yunhai to your side. After all, Yunhai has some ability in runes. If you let him participate in the competition, he might be able to get into Yangning Island. When that happens, it will be a glorious thing for our tribe. If Yunhai can make a name for himself, Elder De, you will be even more proud." Li Yutang said.
"I said no, so no! Get out of here!" The old man said angrily.
Seeing that the old man was angry, Li Yutang could only smile awkwardly and walk out.
When he walked out and saw Linlong standing outside, he looked even more guilty. He nodded at Linlong and immediately left.
Linlong ignored him and said to Li Yunhai, "Let's go in."
Inside was an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. His hair and beard were all white. When he saw Li Yunhai walk in, he immediately smiled, thinking that Li Yunhai was not going to leave. However, when he saw Linlong following Li Yunhai in, his expression immediately turned ugly.
Then, he actually ignored Linlong and said coldly to Li Yunhai, "Yunhai, didn't I tell you not to show your knowledge in front of outsiders? Why did you not only show it in front of Chief Li Yutang, but also in front of outsiders now? "
Hearing that, Li Yunhai immediately knelt down, but he did not say a word and knelt quietly.
The child seemed to be quite stubborn now.
"Do you still remember how you swore in front of your parents' graves? How can you face them like this? "The old man pointed a trembling finger at Li Yunhai and shouted.
Hearing the old man mention his parents, Li Yunhai softened and lowered his head. "Grandfather, I was wrong. I will not show it in front of outsiders in the future. I will also not follow Mr. Lin to Yangning Island. "
At this moment, the old man's emotions finally calmed down a little. He then looked at Linlong and said, "Sir, my grandson's talent is limited, and he does not like to go to Yangning Island. So, please go back. I am very sorry for the impact that I have caused you previously."
In his opinion, after saying that, Linlong would definitely walk away helplessly like Li Yutang. Unexpectedly, Linlong smiled indifferently and said, "Elder De, the method that Yunhai used to draw the runic array should be an inheritance from a special sect, right?"
"What did you say?" Hearing that, a look of shock immediately appeared on the old man's face.
