The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 748
Chapter 748: Humiliation In Process!
“I didn’t.” Zhuge Yun could not resist but mumble, furrowing his brow.
Ni Hu continued to ask, “You didn’t? Everyone saw it, you only arrived after we did! How could that red flag have been placed there by you? Brother Yun, you might be able to deceive others but not us!”
“I did arrive earlier. We waited for too long and I was worried that Brother Wei might be hungry so I went to catch some fish!” Zhuge Yun panicked and tried to explain. The thought that Ni Hu would attack him because he was gone to catch fish never even occurred to him.
Unlike Ni Hu, Ni Biao was much more experienced and astute. He knew that the red flag might very well have been placed by Zhuge Yun and those two with just one look.
Even though he knew, they could not give up in attacking!
They had long since put out the words before this and everyone around them was expecting that the Ni family would win.
If they allowed Zhuge Yun to turn the tides on this result, where would the honor of the Ni family go?
Either way, they had to find a solution as they could not allow Zhuge Yun and the other two to take this victory!
After some shady thinking, Ni Biao spoke, “Young man, we aren’t unreasonable. You said that you were the one who placed the red flag and you only went to catch fish after that. Realistically speaking, can anyone prove that the red flag was placed there by your team? If someone witnessed that, we’ll consider this your win.”
Ni Biao spoke with all politeness in a calm tone but he was actually implying that their victory would not count if they had no witnesses!
Zhuge Yun had not expected that an elder like Ni Biao could be so shameless. He clenched both his hands with anger, “There wasn’t a single person nearby when we arrived, other than the three of us, who could have witnessed that?”
“Then there’s no other way.” Ni Biao’s face was full of pity, “Young man, it isn’t that I’m being arbitrary but you said that no one saw it. Moreover, you came from behind us, this is really unconvincing.”
Never before had Zhuge Yun known that Ni Biao was, in fact, such a person. Perhaps it was because his memory was still stuck on when he was younger, or Ni Biao had never shown his true side.
There was no way that Ni Biao is unaware of how Ni Hu is bullying the Zhuge family!
What uncle, nonsense!
He merely wanted to use his status to settle this!
Zhuge Yun’s eyes were blood-red with anger yet the other exorcists were still doubtful of him. They had to consider the truth, not because of anything but because Ni Biao had opened his mouth and spoke.
Observing the situation, Ni Hu become even more savage as he turned around to speak to Zhuge Yun, “Take a look at your team, do you think that you, a mid-level exorcist and two foreign exorcists, can beat my elder sister? Brother Yun, could you please lie a little better? Do you think that we’re all id*ots?”
The exorcists fixed their gazes at Zhuge Yun with even more doubt in their eyes upon hearing Ni Hu’s words!
Never had Zhuge Yun experienced such a situation before where he could not explain himself. He really had not expected that the entire Ni family would be so utterly shameless. He was so enraged, his fair face became flushed!
Of course, Ni Feng was also aware that there was something behind this but she chose not to interfere. She merely stood at one side silently as if acknowledging what Ni Hu said to be true.
The servant standing behind her lowered her eyes and moved her slender fingers underneath the long sleeves which exuded a sort of medical scent. No one could tell what she was thinking.
She seemed to be exceptionally quiet since Helian Wei Wei and the rest had shown up. No one really noticed her but it was obvious that she saw through the tricks and ploys of the Ni family and she did not seem to fully agree with them.
“Brother Yun, it doesn’t matter if you can’t win, but you really shouldn’t lie. Empty vessels make the most noise.” Noticing that Zhuge Yun was dumbfounded and speechless, Ni Hu proceeded to attack him even further. Since no one else could prove that the flag was placed there by Zhuge Yun’s team, they would not have solid evidence and the winner would still be the Ni family!
Even though he did not get to see the terrible state of these three with their broken limbs, he would be satisfied as long as they could humiliate them once!
He was unaware of Helian Wei Wei’s spurious smile from the beginning, her ice-cold eyes filled with ridicule as he spoke.
“Alright, since everything is clear now, there is no need for further discussion.” Ni Hu glanced at the exorcists at the sides, “The result of the competition is clear. Since my sister is the first to reach the entrance of the tomb, the Ni family is the winner!”
“You!” Zhuge Yun bit his lip due to rage and an unspeakable feeling of being wronged. He really wished he could walk up to the Ni family and rip them to shreds. However, he knew that his power was limited, instead of protecting their victory, he could only let them sabotage him!
Just as Zhuge Yun was about to give up, his arm was suddenly pressed upon by Helian Wei Wei.
She fixed her eyes on Ni Biao and her tone was unhurried, “This is the first time I’ve seen the Ni family acting without any bottom line. It’s one thing to find it hard to accept defeat when others have clearly won, yet you’re still claiming that the true winner is yourselves brazenly. This is so shameless, is Old Master Ni really not worried that this won’t affect the Ni family’s image in the eyes of others?”
Ni Biao’s face immediately darkened upon hearing that. He laughed coldly, “Young brother, watch your words. Not everyone is as tolerant as I am, to allow you to disparage and defame the reputation of the Ni family repeatedly! You are the ones who are unable to bring out any evidence to prove that it was your team who placed the flag there!”
“Old Master Ni, are you saying that as long as I am able to produce evidence, it proves that you are being shameless?” Helian Wei Wei questioned him indifferently.
That one sentence nearly made Ni Hu explode with fury!
He never had a good temper. If it was not for the fact that there were so many people around them, he would have already started a fight!
How could he tolerate others who dared to challenge the reputation of the Ni family?
“Just bring some evidence if you’re really that capable! I’m telling you, I am not like my father who is easy to talk to. If you can’t produce any evidence, don’t you blame us, the Ni family for not giving you mercy!” Ni Hu spat as he bared his fangs, certain that no one was present to witness them placing their red flag!
Helian Wei Wei arched an eyebrow and walked to Ni Hu slowly, “What if I really bring in a piece of evidence?”
“That’s a lie!” Ni Hu scoffed, “If you really can prove that the red flag is your team’s, I will kneel down and greet all of you as my grandfather once! I’ve tolerated all of you for long enough! How dare you all come to Exorcist City when you’re so incapable? Do you really think that the Ni family are a bunch of pushovers?!”
