Chapter 12 Zhao Tiangao
Saying Li Wudao is poor? How can a second-generation rich man like him have such right?
Li Wudao was born an orphan. From being penniless and barely making ends meet to his current modest achievements, everything was entirely due to his own abilities.
As a descendant of a large family, he relied on the influence of his ancestors for his fine clothes and delicious food.
Saying Li Wudao is poor? Why does he have the right to do so?
"Do you think you are rich?" Li Wudao was a little angry and glared at Zhao Zhonglong like a beast waiting to devour its prey.
"Hahaha!" Zhao Zhonglong and his servants all laughed when they heard this.
"Boy, you dare to compete with the young master? You are not worthy!"
"Even if I sell you, it wouldn't be enough for the young master's daily expenses, and yet you still dare to be so arrogant!"
The servant had been defeated by Li Wudao in one move and had long held a grudge against him. Seeing that Li Wudao was being so reckless and daring to speak nonsense in front of the young master, he immediately fought back.
When passers-by saw the two sides arguing, they all watched with great interest. Among them, some knowledgeable people found out the identities and grudges between the two people.
"You dare to compete with the Zhao family in wealth? You're courting death!"
"The Zhao family's Huafeng Building is making a fortune every day!"
Some passersby were talking about it, and their words were very pessimistic about Li Wudao, thinking that he should not lose too badly!
The knowledgeable man had a strange look on his face and a weird smile on his face as he looked at everyone.
"Alright! I'll give you a chance to see the Zhao family's strength." Zhao Zhonglong looked at the pedestrians on the roadside, thinking about revenge and spreading the Zhao family's reputation. With a sinister smile on his face, he said, "When two parties gamble, there must be a stake. If one party loses, it must kowtow three times to the other. Do you dare to agree?"
The passers-by were in an uproar. They didn't expect Zhao Zhonglong to play such a big game and deliberately set Li Wudao up to get off the stage.
"Okay!" Seeing Zhao Zhonglong's confident look, how could Li Wudao be afraid? Naturally, he agreed without hesitation.
On Yilong Town's side streets, the afterglow slowly faded, and endless darkness slowly set in. Many shops lit lanterns, casting flickering, bright, uncertain lights all around.
Qi Meng looked at Li Wudao with a faint smile, which made Zhao Zhonglong particularly angry.
Zhao Zhonglong took something out of his arms and held it high above his head, a look of great pride on his face. It shone so brightly under the lights that it caused an uproar in the room.
"Wow! As expected of the young master of the Zhao family!"
"This... is my income for ten years!"
"I thought I had a good income, but I didn't expect that Master Zhao would take action, and I would have wasted five years of my life in vain!"
Seeing the banknotes Zhao Zhonglong held high, the passersby were all envious, and they all stretched their heads to stare. Among them were some powerful warriors, their eyes filled with greed.
But considering that Zhao Zhonglong's cultivation level was not low and he had the support of his family, there was no movement.
Li Wudao looked at Zhao Zhonglong's proud expression, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took off the bamboo basket from his back and lifted the lid.
The items in the bamboo basket were exposed to everyone, and this time they were even more shocking.
Have you ever seen a basket of silver? This is it!
"Oh my god, there is so much silver!"
"This... is at least eight hundred taels, right?"
"Ignorance, this is at least one thousand taels!"
The people present were shocked. Silver notes were far less powerful than silver. Looking at the silver note held high by Zhao Zhonglong, the difference between them was immediately apparent.
Those who originally didn't think highly of Li Wudao were all shocked. They had never expected that a man dressed simply would actually carry a bamboo basket of silver!
So dreamy, so shocking, so amazing!
"You!..." Zhao Zhonglong's pupils dilated. He didn't expect that a mere street vendor could be so rich!
Looking at the banknotes he held high above his head, Zhao Zhonglong felt embarrassed. He was still so proud and boastful for so long.
With the financial resources of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhonglong could mobilize more than 500 taels, but who would carry so much money with him?
I'm afraid only Li Wudao can do it, and it's a basket of silver, pure silver!
"You lost, kowtow!" Li Wudao looked down upon such second-generation rich people the most. He sneered disdainfully and spoke lightly.
As soon as these words were spoken, they once again caused a huge stir among pedestrians.
Zhao Zhonglong is the son of one of the three major families in Yilong Town, but a mere Li Wudao dared to make Zhao Zhonglong kneel down!
Zhao Zhonglong's face suddenly changed when he heard this. Looking at the passers-by pointing and talking, he felt embarrassed.
"Who dares to make Zhonglong kneel down?" When Zhao Zhonglong was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, a deep male voice came from behind him, which instantly made him overjoyed.
"This is Zhao Tiangao, Zhao Zhonglong's third uncle." Qi Meng whispered beside Li Wudao, with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Li Wudao nodded slightly, sighing that the Zhao family was worthy of being one of the three major families in Yilong Town, and that Zhao Tiangao was actually a martial artist in the True Qi realm.
After the Dantian is opened in the Bitter Sea Realm, it can absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth and refine it into true qi. True qi realm warriors possess immense strength, move as swiftly as the wind, and are exceptionally agile, far more powerful than warriors in the Bitter Sea Realm!
Zhao Tiangao is a powerful cultivator who has reached the minor success stage of the True Qi Realm, and is at the same level as Qi Meng.
But Zhao Tiangao is much stronger than Qi Meng. After all, his rich combat experience is far beyond Qi Meng's reach.
Zhao Tiangao walked slowly from behind Zhao Zhonglong, and Li Wudao almost laughed out loud when he saw him.
His name was clearly Zhao Tiangao, but he was only five feet tall, his short stature barely reaching Geren's shoulders. That wasn't "sky-high," it should be "earth-drifting"!
"Third Uncle!" Zhao Zhonglong saluted Zhao Tiangao and stood behind Zhao Tiangao with his servants.
Zhao Tiangao stood upright with his sword in hand, the iron rings hanging on his arms jingling, staring coldly at Ge Ren, looking him up and down.
"What? Your Zhao family relies on its wealth and power to go back on its word?" Li Wudao saw Zhao Tiangao standing in front of Zhao Zhonglong and knew that today's matter would not end well.
"Why have faith, why not? Don't encourage the desire to compete for wealth. Warriors should respect martial arts. If you are unhappy with Zhonglong, you can ask him to kneel, but you must defeat him fairly!" Zhao Tiangao looked at Li Wudao coldly and said, "If not, you must apologize to Zhonglong!"
Li Wudao's pupils shrank. He didn't expect Zhao Tiangao to say that!
How many more years can he live? In just a few words, Zhao Tiangao described Li Wudao as an unreasonable troublemaker and denied the bet just now. He was really a shrewd person.
He even forced Li Wudao and Zhao Zhonglong to fight, otherwise he would have to apologize to Zhao Zhonglong!
"You're not tall, but you have such a big mouth. Why should my husband listen to you?" Qi Meng didn't tolerate him and directly ridiculed him.
Even if Zhao Tiangao was very strong, so what? She, Qi Meng, wasn't necessarily afraid of him!
"Hmph! Are you scared, kid? Then apologize. Hiding behind a woman, what kind of man are you!" Zhao Tiangao seemed to be a little afraid of Qi Meng. He did not confront Qi Meng, but instead used provocation.
What kind of man am I?
Li Wudao took a step forward with a confident smile on his face and said, "Come on! Whoever is cowardly is a grandson!"
"How dare you! You asked for this." Zhao Zhonglong stared at Li Wudao's hands with a sneer on his lips.
He knew that Li Wudao had a powerful martial art, but he was prepared!
