"Who?" Lin Yi looked at Lin Concubine in confusion.
Lin Concubine pulled Qin Shi's hand and said, "Him? Of course. Let Shi Tou represent the Lin Clan for the fourth place."
"Him?" Lin Yi looked at Qin Shi suspiciously.
He had already seen through Qin Shi. He had just broken through to the Third Heaven Realm. In the Blazing Flame Empire, a Third Heaven Realm cultivator was indeed fearsome. However, this was the Hundred Tribes, so a Third Heaven Realm cultivator wasn't rare.
"Mo 'er, don't joke around. The participants of this Hundred Tribes Competition are at least at the peak of the Third Heaven Realm. Lord Qin has just broken through to the Third Heaven Realm. Aren't you asking him to take the risk?"
Lin Yi's words were smooth, but the meaning behind his words was obvious. He was looking down on Qin Shi's lack of cultivation.
Faced with such contempt, Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Haha, Lin Clan Head, do you think that I'll embarrass your Lin Clan if I represent your Lin Clan?"
"Lord Qin, that's not what I meant …"
Without waiting for Lin Yi to finish speaking, Qin Shi's aura changed. It became extremely thick and dense. His dark eyes were like a sharp blade that pierced through the night sky, piercing towards Lin Yi. "It's fine. Actually, Patriarch, you don't have to hide it. I also know that my cultivation is indeed not enough in your eyes. However, I forgot to tell you that this time, I came here because I promised my brother and my wife that I would definitely protect the Lin Clan. Therefore, even if you don't allow me to represent the Lin Clan, I will still have to do so. This is not something you can make."
"Shi Tou!"
"You …!" Lin Yi froze.
Qin Shi's words were obviously a slap to Lin Yi's face.
However, it wouldn't be Qin Shi's personality if he didn't return the favor after being looked down upon, even if the other party was the Lin Family Head.
"Good, good, good!
You can't make that decision? Then I'd like to see what you're capable of. "
At this moment, when the meeting room was in a deadlock, a mocking laugh suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Lin Concubine frowned and looked outside.
Outside the conference hall, there was a young man in a white robe with golden embroidery. The young man held a folding fan in his hand and fanned himself in front of his chest.
"Master Mo?"
The young man's appearance caused Lin Yi's old face to turn solemn. Ignoring Qin Shi and the Lin Concubine, he hurriedly went forward to welcome him.
Qin Shi sized up the young man with his black eyes. "Who is this?"
"I haven't been with the Hundred Races for a hundred years, so I don't know either."
The Lin Concubine shook her head solemnly. She had never seen her father show such an expression to a junior before. It was obvious that this youth's identity was not simple.
"I know."
Fang Xin pursed her red lips and said: "This person is called Mo Qingfeng. He is the disciple of Daoist Yunwu."
"Daoist Cloudmist?"
The Lin Concubine did not know about the young man, but she knew about the Cloud Mist Daoist. "Could it be the Cloud Mist Daoist who lived in seclusion among the Hundred Races a hundred years ago?"
"That's right, it's him." Fang Xin nodded.
"Who is this Cloud Mist Daoist?" Qin Shi curled his lips in confusion.
The Lin Concubine placed her hand on her chest and said heavily, "This Cloud Mist Daoist came to the Hundred Races a hundred years ago. No one knows where he came from, but he is extremely powerful. A hundred years ago, he was already at the Five Heavens Realm. If he still hasn't reached the Five Heavens Realm, he might have already reached the Six Heavens Realm."
With that, the Lin Concubine clenched her fists. "There's an unwritten rule among the Hundred Races. No clan dares to provoke the Cloudy Mist Daoist, and the Cloudy Mist Daoist never asks about the matters of the Hundred Races either. However, whenever the Hundred Races have a banquet or an event, they will definitely invite him."
"Is that so?" Qin Shi noted this in his heart.
Lin Yi welcomed the youth and said very politely, "Young Master Mo, what kind of wind blew you to our Lin Clan?"
Mo Qingfeng was extremely arrogant. He folded his fan and said, "Hehe, I didn't want to come here, but Cui Er came to find me and wanted me to represent the Lin Clan at the Hundred Races Competition."
Lin Yi was stunned at first, but he immediately realized what was going on. He could not hide the joy on his face. "Master Mo, what did you just say?
You want to represent the Lin Clan at the Hundred Races Competition? "
"That's right. But looking at the situation, it seems like the Lin Clan already has a candidate?" With that, Mo Qingfeng stared at Qin Shi coldly.
Qin Shi felt a naked provocation as he exchanged glances with the other party. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth finally disappeared, transforming into an embarrassed chill.
"Four Heavens Realm?" Qin Shi saw through Mo Qingfeng.
Sensing Mo Qingfeng's gaze, Lin Yi hurriedly said, "Young Master Mo, what are you saying? My Lin Clan is still worried about this matter. However, with your help, I believe my Lin Clan will definitely be able to take the top spot at the Gathering of the Hundred Tribes."
"That's for the best. I'll see you at the Hundred Races Competition then."
Mo Qingfeng nodded his head and snorted contemptuously at Qin Shi. Immediately, he left without even turning his head back.
At this moment, the Lin Concubine and the three sisters clearly felt a surge of coldness beside them. They looked at Qin Shi in horror. Qin Shi's black robe fluttered without any wind and he took a step forward.
Sensing that something was wrong, the Lin Concubine hurriedly reached out to stop Qin Shi. "Shi Tou …!"
Bang!
Unexpectedly, before the Lin Concubine's hand could touch Qin Shi, an invisible wave of air gushed out from under Qin Shi's black robe and blocked the Lin Concubine.
"Lin Concubine, I only promised Xiao Yu and Luo Sha to ensure the safety of the Lin Clan. I will definitely do as I promised, but as for other things, you better not persuade me."
As he spoke coldly, Qin Shi didn't give the Lin Concubine a chance to continue speaking. He directly approached Mo Qingfeng step by step.
"Yo, brat, you look like you're very dissatisfied?" When Mo Qingfeng turned around, he happened to meet Qin Shi's eyes and stopped.
"Haha, Young Master Mo, right?
Didn't you hear me clearly just now? I said that I will represent the Lin Clan in this Hundred Races Competition. Even the Lin Clan Head doesn't have the final say, let alone you. "
Qin Shi stood in front of Mo Qingfeng. He was half a head shorter than Mo Qingfeng, but his aura was like a fire that could devour the heavens. As soon as he spoke, Mo Qingfeng shuddered.
At the side, Lin Yi's murky eyes narrowed. "Lord Qin, don't go overboard. I didn't say anything because you're Mo 'er's friend. However, if you continue to cause trouble like this, don't blame the Lin Clan for asking you to leave."
"Don't, Lin Clan Head. Since he's dissatisfied, should we give him a chance?"
Mo Qingfeng regained his senses and stared at Qin Shi. "Brat, you said you want to represent the Lin Clan, right?
That's fine. This is the Hundred Races Territory, and martial strength is everything. I'm issuing you a challenge right now. If you win, I'll give this position to you. "
Hearing this, Lin Yi's thick brows furrowed. "Young Master Mo, this …!"
"Lin Clan Head, there's no need to say anymore. If he can really defeat me and represent the Lin Clan, it's your Lin Clan's fortune." Mo Qingfeng interrupted Lin Yi and looked down at Qin Shi. "How about it, brat?"
The corner of Qin Shi's lips curled up. "Young Master Mo, you don't seem to understand. The position of the Lin Clan belongs to me, Qin Shi."
Pausing for a moment, his tone suddenly changed. "But, since you want to fight, I can accompany you. But, should we add more chips?"
Qin Shi's words surprised Mo Qingfeng. "What do you want to add?"
"Plus your life!"
The moment he said this, the atmosphere in the conference hall froze.
Lin Yi, Lin Concubine, and Fang Xin stared at Qin Shi with their mouths agape.
Lin Yi panicked. "Sect Master Qin, don't go overboard."
"I agree!"
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingfeng snorted. "If I lose, I'll give my life to you. However, if you lose, I'll take your life."
"Alright!"
"See you at the arena outside."
After glaring at Qin Shi, Mo Qingfeng didn't waste any more words and walked out of the conference hall.
As soon as Mo Qingfeng left, Lin Yi's face fell. He looked at Lin Concubine angrily. "Mo 'er, look at what you've done!"
Then, he flicked his sleeves and followed after Mo Qingfeng.
Lin Concubine felt a stab of pain in her heart as she stared at Lin Yi's disappointed back. She scolded Qin Shi, "Shi Tou, why did you do this?"
"Do you think he can defeat Long Bai?"
Qin Shi didn't say anything else. He simply stood up and left.
The Lin Concubine, Fang Xin, and Fang Xin were left alone in the conference hall. The four of them looked at each other awkwardly.
"Sister Lin Concubine, do you think Shi Tou can win?
No matter what, he's still our brother-in-law. If he loses, he'll lose his life to Mo Qingfeng. How are we going to explain this to Luo Sha? "Fang Feng asked worriedly.
The Lin Concubine didn't care about their worries. She said helplessly, "I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about Mo Qingfeng."
"Hmm?" Fang Feng frowned. "You're saying that Shi Tou can win?"
"Yes. We've known him for so long, but have you ever seen him do something he's not confident in?
I'm worried that after Shi Tou wins, Mo Qingfeng will become the disciple of the Cloudy Mist Daoist. At that time, the Cloudy Mist Daoist definitely won't let this matter rest. "The Lin Concubine felt helpless when she thought of Qin Shi.
Qin Shi's way of doing things was really hard to figure out.
"However, there's one thing I can't figure out," Fang Luan said.
"What is it?"
"My Yin Clan has some relations with the Cloudy Mist Daoist, so we know a thing or two about Mo Qingfeng. This Mo Qingfeng has always been a despicable person who won't do anything unless it benefits him. Why would he agree to let your clan's Lin Cui 'er represent the Lin Family?" Fang Luan said bluntly.
The moment she said this, the other three exchanged glances. An indescribable sense of unease spread through the Lin Concubine's heart.
"Let's go out and take a look." The Lin Concubine didn't waste any more time and walked out of the conference hall.
Fang Xin and the other two followed closely behind her. When the four of them walked out of the conference hall, there was already a sea of people outside. The Qilin Clan was gathered around the arena in the center and they were all discussing it.
Lin Yi and the elders of the Qilin Clan stood on both sides of the arena.
Qin Shi and Mo Qingfeng stood on the arena.
