Chapter 96: Teasing Two Brothers
Looking at the arrogant red-robed man, God knew how much willpower Lin Ran needed to hold back his laughter.
However, not only did he hold back, but he also immediately bowed and rubbed his hands. He ran to the red-robed man in small steps and smiled obsequiously. “My lord, what can I do for you?”
Seeing how humble Lin Ran was, the red-robed man’s face was filled with arrogance. “You called me ‘Lord’. Do you know who I am?”
“Look at what you’re saying!”
Lin Ran chuckled. “In the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, those who can wear red robes are either second-grade officials or the top martial artist of the martial arts examination.”
“Not bad, at least you are not stupid!”
The red-robed man nodded in satisfaction. He raised his thumb and pointed at the burly man behind him. “My brother was challenged to a death duel by your friend. Do you know about this?”
“I know, I know.”
Lin Ran nodded repeatedly. “My friend has had some brain problems since he was young. I gave him a lesson just now! Of all the people in this world, he chose to offend someone he never should.”
“That’s right!”
“Cut the crap! Get him down!”
“If he doesn’t come down, don’t blame us for using violence!”
As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, the martial artists outside the door started clamoring. The red-robed man raised his hand and they immediately shut up.
“I just came back from the capital after seeing His Majesty and am in a good mood. Seeing that your attitude is not bad, I won’t make things hard for you.”
The red-robed man glanced at Lin Ran and waved his hand. “Get your friend to come down and take back his sword intent. Give him another 50… no, 500 taels of silver, and I’ll pretend nothing happens.”
“Aiyo! What are you saying?!”
Lin Ran clapped his hands and shouted, “He offended your brother. How can 500 taels of silver be enough? In my opinion, he has to pay 5,000 taels of silver!”
“Five thousand taels?!”
The red-robed man’s eyes widened. As the top martial artist of the martial arts examination, he was only rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
“Gold!” Lin Ran added.
The red-robed man was dumbfounded. Five thousand taels of gold was enough for him to live without worry for three lifetimes.
The burly man was also dumbfounded. He mostly relied on his martial arts skills to extort money from people in Lotus Town. In a year, he could only earn no more than ten taels of silver. Five thousand taels of gold was a number he couldn’t fathom.
If the two brothers were like this, there was no need to mention the lackeys behind them. All of them looked at Lin Ran in shock, not even noticing that drool was flowing out of their mouths.
After a while, a lackey suddenly shouted. “Don’t brag. Who knows if you have that much money?”
That’s right!
The red-robed man instantly came back to his senses and pointed his finger at Lin Ran. “Are you messing around with me? Your clothes are only worth a few taels of silver. Do you have 5,000 taels of gold?”
Lin Ran shook his head. “No.”
The red-robed man glared and was about to launch an attack when Lin Ran continued, “But I have something valuable!”
As he spoke, Lin Ran reached out and took off the Ten Miles Dragon Roar from his waist. He handed it over with both hands.
The red-robed man looked down and his eyes instantly widened.
Before the martial arts examination, he was just a villager. Naturally, he had never seen the sword of the Ten Miles Sword God.
However, he had eyes after all. When he saw the gold and silver on the sword and the dragon patterns on the hilt shining, he fell in love with it at a glance!
He did not even need to feel the sword intent contained in it. Just these luxurious materials were definitely not something that could be bought with 5,000 taels of gold.
Compared to this sword, the sword that the emperor had just given him was simply a burning stick!
“Are you really going to give this sword to me?”
Greed flashed in the red-robed man’s eyes. Although he asked, he was already reaching out to take it.
“Of course!”
Lin Ran nodded and smiled maliciously. “As long as you can take it away, it’s yours.”
“Deal!”
The red-robed man shouted as if he was afraid that Lin Ran would go back on his words. He grabbed the scabbard of the Ten Miles Dragon Roar!
This scabbard was completely made of gold and silver, but it was not cold to the touch. Instead, it carried a hint of warmth. This was one of the characteristics of divine weapons.
The red-robed man was overjoyed. Just when he grabbed the scabbard, a surging sword intent suddenly swept out and went up his arm, instantly tearing his sleeve and crown into pieces!
By the time the red-robed man reacted, the newly made red robe had already been ripped apart. There was no wound on his entire right arm, but from his fingertips to his shoulder, it was filled with sharp pain!
“Ah! My hand!”
The red-robed man screamed and was sent flying, crashing into his lackeys.
“Second Young Master! Second Young Master, are you alright?”
A few of his lackeys immediately went forward to check. The red-robed man gritted his teeth and could not speak. His forehead was covered in sweat the size of beans. He looked even worse than the homeless on the streets.
Seeing that his younger brother was injured, the burly man became bold and fearless. He reached out to take the huge sword from his back and glared at Lin Ran. “What did you just do?! What happened to my brother?!”
“I don’t know.”
Lin Ran shook his head innocently. “Everyone is watching. I didn’t do anything. He came over to get the sword and flew out… Does he not like this sword?”
The burly man widened his eyes and didn’t know what to say. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he was sure that Lin Ran really didn’t make any move just now.
Unless Lin Ran was strong enough to severely injure a sixth level Martial Master with his imperceptible internal force.
However, in the eyes of the burly man, this was impossible.
He had already checked and was certain that Lin Ran was at the second level of the Martial Master Realm.
At this moment, the red-robed man was helped up by his lackey. His right hand was still trembling, but there was no anger on his face.
“Brother, it’s not his fault.”
The red-robed man panted heavily and said, “This should be a divine weapon with spirituality. It will choose its master. I underestimated it just now and didn’t show the sword my strength.”
As he spoke, the red-robed man staggered forward, his left hand above the hilt of the Ten Mile Dragon Roar. The aura of a sixth level Martial Master erupted, and his loose hair fluttered in the wind, making him look like a lunatic!
“Come on! Let the sword see what you can do!”
Lin Ran shouted with a solemn expression, but in fact, he was already laughing his head off in his heart!
