Hearing what this old man said Bai Gu couldn't have been happier, this old man was sooo easy. But of course, being the brilliant schemer he was, he knew when to put on a "troubled look."
"Senior this junior is incompetent, fairy Yun is a very sensitive topic for my Bai clan." Pausing for a moment, Bai Gu continued dejectedly. "Even though I know senior is just and upright, I still can't grant seniors wish."
The old man nodded he expected this, but he was dealings with a youth not an old schemer like himself. Using his magnificent intelligence the old man decided to appeal to this youths greed.
"How about this if you win I'll give you a 100 high-grade spirit stones." The old man asked probingly.
Bai Gu almost bit his tongue off was this old man serious, did he was that poor. Bai Gu really struggled to stop himself from lashing out on this old idiot. But he was THE shameless Gu, this old man had nothing on him.
Seeing how this youth didn't even respond, the old man was celebrating within, "haha, I most of overwhelmed him with fever. When I was a youth I killed for far less, what simpler time." While the old man was reminiscing about his good old time he realised something, this little guy was still shocked.
"Don't worry my friend I mean it, I'll really give you a 100 high-grade spirit stones if you win." If one thing could be said about this 'elder Li' it would be he was one dumb bastard.
Realising this old man really did look down on him Bai Gu decided to put on a look of greed, only for it to disappear a moment later. "Senior Li, please forgive this junior, he can't grant seniors wish. I should just be struck by lightning." In the end, Bai Gu was actually crying.
"Damn." The old man couldn't help but curses, who did this youth think he was. He should have just said yes, after all, he WAS senior Li. But he was still a very smart man and he knew greed always won in the end.
"1000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"A million high-grade spirit stones!"
"One of my spiritual rings!"
The old man continued to shout out offer after offer, but not a single one moved Bai Gu. well at least on the outside, inside he was thinking this old man was insane and was now actually too shocked to reply."
The more the old man shouted out offers the angrier he got, how much mental strength did this youth have? But he was lord Li, he had money and no matter what he was getting the beauty.
So the offers continued
"All of my spiritual rings!"
"My kidneys!"
"Everything I god damn own!"
In the end, he went for broke, either he would win it big or lose it all.
Bai Gu finally broke out of his stupor, this old man sure was generous. He wouldn't let that generosity go to waste. "Deal, senior we have a deal."
The old man broke out in laughter little kids were far to easy for someone like him. They really thought he would give them everything he owned. If by some miracle he lost, all he had to do was run away.
While the old man was busy thinking of his own brilliance Bai Gu brought out a stack of documents.
"Senior since we've decided to make a bet we should make it official with a contract. It's not that I don't trust senior but it is like my father always says, "always have it on paper." With this senior can be assured if I lose meeting fairy Yun will be guaranteed, not even the clan elders can interfere if it's on paper." Bai Gu said while handing a stack of documents over.
At first, the old man was annoyed he was lord Li who wouldn't trust such a respectable man like him. But once he heard the latter part he almost smacked himself why didn't he think of that, now no one could stop him from getting a new father in law.
He nodded humbly at Bai Gu while taking the documents into his hands. Just as he was about to start reading he noted a bright light to his side.
It was the smiling youth. "Senior when reading it's best if the area is as lightly light as possible." Bai Buu said, reminding everyone he was still there.
The old man nodded this youth wasn't bad either, it looked like he was getting two new servants.
The old man carefully read the contract. A contract was magically binding, so he would have no choice but follow what was written if he signed. Luckily for him, he was a genius and found a few loopholes, even if he lost he would be fine.
He read the paper a few more times, before getting a little suspicious wasn't this a little too easy? Thinking of this he sent his spiritual energy into the paper, looking for any possible invisible ink. But alas he found nothing, it seemed kids really were that easy to fool.
Shaking his head the old man couldn't believe how stupid he was being, for the love of god he was lord Li everything is easy for him. Taking out a pen elder Li started to sign the document.
Little did he know this would ruin him.
Bai Gu grabbed the document and put his own name onto it. Now it was official he owns this old fool, but to think he would really sign it. What a fool, how did he even have things left to scam anyhow? Now that was a true mystery.
Whoosh
The crystal stopped sounded waking everyone up from their stopper. Everyone turned to look at this old man slack-jawed, how could he be so stupid.
"Old man take a look at this." Bai Gu said while taking out the signed documents and handing it over to the old man.
As for senior Li by this point, he was shaking from rage how dare this youth throw alway lord Li's face, who did he think he was? But in the end he calmed himself, luckily he was smart and found some loopholes in the documents, what was face to a rich man like him. He would buy face.
Taking the documents the old man signed and spoke to the crowd, "everybody this is all a little lesson I was going to teach this young lad in private, but alas." The old man shook his head. "It seems I got all of you involved, but this can also count as a lesson to everyone. One should never always trust contracts because humans can always find loopholes."
Hearing what the old man said the crowd was shocked did this man not care about face. "Teaching a lesson weren't you just overcome by greed and lust?"
Bai Gu laughed, this old man was way too stupid. "Old man take a closer look at that document, you might find something interesting." Bai Gu ominously said.
The old man face dropped, taking another look at the documents he almost directly fainted from anger. This wasn't the contract he sighed, worst of all there were no loopholes.
Pointing with a trembling finger the old man questioned, "how did you do this."
Bai Gu shook his head this old man was helpless. Raising up his hand he called upon his spiritual energy to create a kind of bright light.
The moment that light appeared the text on the paper disappeared only to be replaced with another. "Old man it is quite simple really. Think of it like this when spiritual energy is present one of the invisible inks disappears, while the other appears." Bai Gu said with a smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
