No one saw the smile on Yi Yun's lips, nor did they know what Yi Yun was thinking.
Shen Tu Nantian squinted his eyes. He never expected that Yi Yun would need his and the Thousand Hand Granny's help in verifying the Great Empress relic. What kind of medicine was this kid selling in his gourd?
"Granny, what do you think he means by doing this?" Shen Tu Nantian asked the Thousand Hand Granny with a Yuan Qi transmission.
The Thousand Hand Granny sneered and transmitted her voice, "This little bastard is deliberately courting death! I don't believe that a Yuan foundation realm junior like him can't do anything about the relic's flaw that even an Empyrean ranked Desolate Heaven Master cannot discover or deal with! "
"Besides, we will not let this kid destroy the relic. This will make it even harder to find the relic's flaw!"
As the Thousand Hand Granny spoke, she had already stood up and walked to the center of the square. Her thin body was shorter than Yi Yun by a head, but her aura suppressed everyone present.
"Little bastard, I'd like to see exactly what you can do!"
"Oh? Does that mean you agree? "Yi Yun retorted with a question.
"What a joke. Why wouldn't I agree? However, how can my Shen Tu family clan's honor be slandered by a junior like you? You have to pay the price for standing up and slandering the Shen Tu family clan today! If I were to let you off, wouldn't my Shen Tu family clan be the laughing stock of the world!? "
"I will give you two hours. If you are unable to prove that the Great Empress relic has a problem, then you will have to hand your life over to me!"
The Thousand Hand Granny said with a grin. She could tell that the Lin family's Matriarch was protecting Yi Yun. She had threatened to kill Yi Yun by not treating Lin Xintong's natural Yin Meridians, but it was just for show.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Yun. This had turned into a life and death bet!
Once Yi Yun agreed, the Matriarch would not be able to protect him.
If Yi Yun were to fall into the Thousand Hand Granny's hands, only the Heavens knew what kind of inhuman torture he would experience before dying!
"Yi Yun …"
Lin Xintong's concerned voice rang in Yi Yun's ears. She did not expect the situation to develop to this stage. Yi Yun had stood up for her, but now, Yi Yun's life was involved!
Originally, Lin Xintong wanted Yi Yun to give it a try. It would be good if there was some hope, but with his life at stake, it was different. It was too difficult for Yi Yun to prove that there was a problem with a desolate bone relic of this grade. Even he did not have much confidence.
"Don't take the risk. This has nothing to do with you."
Lin Xintong wanted Yi Yun to rein in his horse before it was too late. Yi Yun's expression turned serious. With his life on the line, he had to be careful.
Seeing Yi Yun cower, Shentu Nantian felt pleased with himself. "Granny, this is a good move. This punk doesn't know what's good for him. With his life as a bet, let's see if he still dares to jump around."
"Humph! He's just making groundless accusations. It's impossible for him to find the flaws. If he dares to agree, this old lady will be more than happy! "
The atmosphere in the square froze. Yi Yun stood in the middle of the square without saying a word. Through the cold silver mask on his face, it was impossible to see his expression.
Was he in a difficult position? If he knew this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place. There was a price to pay for being in the limelight.
The Elders of the Shentu family clan felt relieved. This ignorant junior was too infuriating.
"Yun!" Shentu Nantian looked at Yi Yun mockingly. "If you kneel down and kowtow to admit your guilt, my Shentu family clan will not pursue this matter!"
Shentu Nantian felt great about this matter. He had been suppressing his anger for the past few days.
Yi Yun looked at Shentu Nantian and sneered in his heart. With the Purple Crystal, how could he not be confident? However, with his life on the line, even if it was in the bag, he would still take it more seriously.
"What if … I prove that there's a problem with the relic? If I lose, I will have to pay with my life. If I win, what price will you pay? What about your life? "
Yi Yun took a step forward and looked at Shentu Nantian with a burning gaze!
Shentu Nantian's heart sank as he subconsciously took a step back. Yi Yun wanted to risk his life with him!
He did not have the courage to bet his life with Yi Yun. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was momentarily speechless. He had been suppressed by Yi Yun.
However, Shentu Nantian quickly calmed down and retorted, "An ant-like figure like you dares to bet your life with me!? Who do you think you are!? "
"This idiot, does he think his life is equal to Young master Nantian's? That is an insult to Young master Nantian! "
Some Elders of the Shentu family clan echoed.
"Hahaha!" Yi Yun laughed loudly. "If you are not guilty, so what if you bet your life?"
Yi Yun was only ridiculing Shentu Nantian. He knew that it was impossible to get rid of Shentu Nantian because of a bet.
"Since you are afraid of death, then forget it. I'll change the bet. If I win, I want your Shentu family clan to hand over the ancient Desolate Heaven technique inheritance and the Great Empress' recipe. You will also need to tell me the location of the mystic realm where the Great Empress' recipe and the ancient Desolate Heaven technique inheritance were found, as well as everything you encountered while exploring the mystic realm!"
Yi Yun revealed his true motive.
This was what he wanted to know.
"Yi Yun, you …"
Upon hearing Yi Yun's proposed bet, Lin Xintong's heart trembled. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yi Yun with a complicated expression.
She knew that Yi Yun was doing this for her.
She did not know what was wrong with the Great Empress relic that the Shentu family clan had refined, but Lin Xintong could vaguely feel that the relic would have an effect on her. If not, the Shentu family clan would not have taken it out for her to try.
The ancient mystic realm that the Shentu family clan had explored, including the ancient recipe they had obtained, might really be able to find a way to cure naturally terminated meridians. The effects of the Lin family exploring it themselves and the Shentu family clan exploring it would be completely different.
"Kid, you are really delusional!"
The Thousand Hand Granny's face twitched. Yi Yun was really asking for too much. He actually wanted to know the location of the mystic realm. He even wanted to know the experience that the Shentu family clan had obtained by sacrificing so many experts' lives!
Even if she did not believe that Yi Yun could prove the Great Empress relic's flaw, she could not agree to it.
And at this moment, the Lin family's Matriarch stood up. The amiable smile on her face had long disappeared. Her eyes also turned sharp.
"Thousand Hand Granny! I'm not doubting the Shentu family clan, but … if this Great Empress relic really has a problem, then the Shentu family clan's intentions in letting Xintong eat this relic is questionable! "
"Your Shentu family clan has been slandered by little friend Yun, so you will not let it go. If our Lin family proves that someone has ill intentions towards us, then we will not let it go. Thousand Hand Granny, if that is the case, our Lin family will need your Shentu family clan to give us an explanation. If not, our Lin family will not be a place where you can enter and leave as you wish!"
The Matriarch's words were said with a threatening tone.
The Lin family was a top family clan in the Tian Yuan world. As the person in charge of the Lin family's internal affairs, the Matriarch was naturally not an amiable old granny. She had a strong side to her.
Seeing the Matriarch express her stance, the Thousand Hand Granny's heart sank. Without a doubt, once the Great Empress relic had a problem, the Lin family would lose all decorum.
If the Lin family really fought with the Shentu family clan, both sides would definitely suffer. Even if the Lin family won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. It was very likely that another large family clan would take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
The Thousand Hand Granny did not know if there would be a fight, but if this group of people did not give an explanation, the Lin family's Matriarch would definitely not allow them to leave.
Upon thinking of this, the Thousand Hand Granny understood that she had to agree to Yi Yun's exorbitant bet. If not, the Lin family's Matriarch would be the first to disagree.
However, so what if she agreed? Did this kid think he could succeed?
"What irony. Matriarch Lin, you are also suspecting my Shentu family clan. My Shentu family clan has paid such a huge price to refine this Great Empress relic, but we have ended up being suspected!"
The Thousand Hand Granny could not help but shake her head. She looked extremely disappointed with the Lin family.
The Shentu family clan's allies felt the same way when they heard this. They felt that the Matriarch's words were too chilling!
"Since Matriarch Lin has said this, this old man can no longer sit still. I will join in and witness the so-called 'flaw' of the Great Empress relic!"
The Song family's top guest elder, the long-browed elder who had previously spoken up for the Shentu family clan, stood up and walked to the center of the square.
Yi Yun nodded and looked indifferent. It did not matter if one more person helped.
"Words are useless. Let's sign a soul contract!"
Yi Yun said. He knew that between warriors, there were binding soul contracts. As long as both parties were willing to sign it, they had to fulfill it, or they would be punished.
With the Lin family's heritage, it was not difficult to produce a soul contract that could bind the Thousand Hand Granny.
The Thousand Hand Granny's face twitched slightly as she coldly looked at Yi Yun, "Just what I wanted! Hand over the contract! However, just a little bastard's life is not worth mentioning compared to the news of the mystic realm. I want to add one more point. If it is proven that there is no problem with my Shentu family clan's Great Empress relic, then the Lin family will no longer have any reason to reject this marriage alliance. After dragging on for so long, I've had enough! "
When the Thousand Hand Granny said this, she looked at Lin Xintong!
Now, regarding this marriage alliance, the most important thing was Lin Xintong's attitude. If Lin Xintong would rather die than comply, then there was nothing they could do. The Lin family would also not dare to use force on Lin Xintong.
Lin Xintong frowned slightly. With the situation developing to this stage, it had already gone out of control.
The Thousand Hand Granny sneered as she waited for Lin Xintong to make a decision. She actually did not like Lin Xintong, who did not know what was good for her.
"I …" Lin Xintong stood up and gently closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. After ten seconds, Lin Xintong opened her eyes again and looked deeply at Yi Yun.
Through Yi Yun's mask, their eyes met. Yi Yun did not say a word, nor did he use his eyes to send any message. This was Lin Xintong's marriage, so he would respect her choice.
"I agree!"
The three clear words resounded loudly in the square.
Yi Yun had stood up for her, and he had even risked his life. Then, what did it matter if she risked her dignity and innocence?
Yi Yun believed in her, so Lin Xintong also chose to believe in Yi Yun.
