Chapter 369: Large Scale Defensive Layer (1/2)

A few hours had passed, and a person was holding an extremely gloomy expression.

”H-How is this possible?”

The person was in disbelief as he glanced at the chessboard. The chessboard showed the white chess pieces being completely dominated by the black chess pieces.

And the person in control of the white chess pieces was none other than Grand Elder Huo.

”Grand Elder Huo, this is already your fourth consecutive defeat,” Yang Wei said cheekily as he moved his final chess piece to checkmate him.

Meanwhile, Grand Elder Huo scratched his head in confusion.

”This cannot be true… I have already studied the rules and methods regarding chess. How can I still be defeated?” Grand Elder Huo asked in a dumbfounded tone.

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.

Since this was his fourth consecutive defeat, Grand Elder Huo must cough up 4 formation runes.

Formation runes aren't some cabbages that can be sold in the street. It was an extremely rare and pricey item. Yet in the span of a few hours, Grand Elder Huo managed to lose his wealth that could feed an entire mortal family for at least 40-50 years.

”I think we should call it quits here, Grand Elder Huo.” Yang Wei said as he tried to store the chessboard away.

”Absolutely not, we are not stopping until I win a match,” Grand Elder Huo refused to allow Yang Wei to store the chessboard back.

There was just no possible way he could accept this outcome.

Yang Wei held an awkward smile as he tilted his head and glanced at Shan Zhilan and Jing Feng.

It was pretty obvious that Grand Elder Huo cannot win against him and if they were to continue, Yang Wei was afraid that Grand Elder Huo might have to strip his clothing off as well to pay off the bet.

Shan Zhilan shrugged her shoulders as she wasn't going to be generous to a wealthy man.

If possible, Shan Zhilan doesn't mind it if Yang Wei wins all of Grand Elder Huo's wealth.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng was in a dilemma as she doesn't know what to do in this situation.

”Yang Wei, I'll leave this decision up to you,” Jing Feng said blissfully.

Since she doesn't know what to do, she might as well push it back to her man, Yang Wei.

It's not like he could retaliate against her or hate her for doing so.

'You two elders… how shameless are you?' Yang Wei twitched his mouth in disbelief.

Seeing how they were of no help, Yang Wei decided to ask one person that could possibly make Grand Elder Huo retract his decision.

”Meng Yan, you don't want your uncle going bankrupt right? Hurry up and tell him that it's futile to try to win against me,” Yang Wei said.

Meng Yan nodded her head.

”Uncle Huo-”

”Enough, Xiao Yan. Look at this cheeky Yang Wei and his conduct. He might seem like he's in a dilemma, but his wording is purposely used to provoke me further.” Grand Elder Huo sneered coldly.

”And you two elders, don't think I'm a fool to not realize you are still acting right now to scam more of my wealth.” He pointed at Shan Zhilan and Jing Feng.

”Whoopsie, what should we do now, Jing Feng? We got busted!” Shan Zhilan faked a gasp as she wrapped her arms around Jing Feng.

”Aiyah, I don't know either. We were so close to getting one of his secret techniques as well as weapons.” Jing Feng sighed softly.

Yang Wei also held a disappointed expression as he stared at Grand Elder Huo.

”So are we still going to increase the bet?” Yang Wei asked teasingly.

”Hmph, I'm done for today. A smart man must know when to retreat,” Grand Elder Huo crossed his arms in anger.

”Ahem, Grand Elder Huo.” Yang Wei coughed slightly as he extended his hand out, reminding him of something.

Grand Elder Huo grumbled like any grungy old man as he unwillingly retrieved 4 formation runes.

”Xiao Yan, just what kind of sect did you enter? It's filled with a bunch of scammers and vile people.” Grand Elder Huo said.

”Uncle Huo, it's only you that is easily fooled by others. Not to mention, this can be counted as compensation for the Swift Feather Wind Sect.” Meng Yan said as she patted his shoulders like some adult.

”We made them forfeit because of me, so it's only right that we give them something in return,” she added.

Her words were extremely reasonable that Grand Elder Huo couldn't rebuke.
