Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 264 The Source Technique Clan Admits Defeat on the Spot

"Another jade gambling battle?" A defiant voice rang out, and that splash of red appeared. Qi Hao squeezed through without any restraint, his eyes sweeping unabashedly across everyone's faces.

"How about I join you? If any one of you can beat me by even one point, I'll give you all the millions of kilograms of resources I've won from gambling over the past few months."

Qi Hao spoke casually, as if those in front of him were not masters of Origin Arts, but mere chickens and dogs.

However, that is indeed the case.

"No, no, we just came to ask, just to ask," the middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family forced a smile and said.

People from prestigious Origin Arts families wield real power. Even if they are not as powerful as the big figures from ancient families and holy lands, they are still stronger than the average powerful figures from major forces. At least, the financial resources they control far surpass those of many others.

Even so, they still managed to force a smile when facing this extremely arrogant boy who could almost be described as "unruly."

He didn't even dare to admit that he wanted to revive his jade gambling hobby.

No one knew what had happened between the Source Arts family and the red-haired youth Qi Hao, but at this moment, they clearly saw that the middle-aged man from the Source Arts family appeared somewhat panicked when facing Qi Hao, as if...

Duan De, who was robbing the Ji family tomb, was suddenly filled with panic when he saw the Ji family patriarch who had come to pay homage to his ancestors.

"There's no jade gambling competition? What a pity." Qi Hao sighed, full of regret.

"No, no, we never gamble on stones. We only appreciate the stones and try to uncover the truth hidden within them!" The middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family quickly shook his head and said hastily.

"These words sound familiar..." Black Emperor thought to himself, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

"Is that really so?" Qi Hao was even more disappointed. "I thought there was a jade gambling battle going on here. I was all ready and wanted to have another match with you guys."

"Really, really, we never gamble on stones, we only appreciate them!" The middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family quickly spoke up, seemingly afraid that if he spoke even a little slower, Qi Hao would forcibly drag him into gambling on stones.

"Young Brother Ye, we've just come to ask a few questions. It was my descendant who acted recklessly and broke the family rules. I will punish them later, so please don't be angry, young friend," the middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family said hastily to Ye Fan.

"Huh?" Ye Fan was taken aback.

He really didn't expect things to develop this way.

When he saw the middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family rushing over aggressively, he was already prepared to gamble on stones again.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so "friendly"!
"Ah! In that case, let's forget about it! But if you ever want to gamble on stones in the future, you can always come to me. Although I don't understand source magic, I do know a little bit about clairvoyance."

Qi Hao smiled and spoke.

"Hahaha, talking about gambling is too formal! We'll come back to discuss stone appreciation with you again when we have the chance!" The middle-aged man from the Yuanshu family said respectfully.

Then, in full view of everyone, he took action without explanation and forcibly dragged the young men away.

From beginning to end, everyone was just watching the show.

They were unaware of the past grievances between the Source Arts Clan and the red-haired youth Qi Hao, but they could glean some information from their brief exchanges and the attitudes of the Source Arts Clan members.

Seeing the members of the Source Arts family flee in disarray, the others reluctantly dispersed as well.

It's a pity we don't know the whole story; otherwise, it would have been much more interesting.

Ye Fan, who was at the very center of the incident, was also completely bewildered.

Hey?

What happened?

Weren't the people from the Yuanshu family coming in a menacing manner? Weren't they here to gamble on stones and get revenge?

Why are they running away like this now?

"This is really boring." Qi Hao shook his head regretfully.

Then, he looked at Ye Fan and said, "Brother Ye, how about we make a couple of bets? If you win, I'll give you a million catties of Yuan."

Although the prospect of a million catties of source material was tempting, Ye Fan was not blinded by greed.

The members of the Source Arts families fled in panic, clearly indicating that Qi Hao had inflicted a great psychological trauma on them.

Although he was very confident in his Origin Technique, he knew nothing about Qi Hao.

Therefore, he decisively shook his head, "As everyone knows, I am not skilled in Source Arts..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao glanced at Ye Fan and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "How come you're learning this kind of self-deprecation from that guy Wang Teng? You only learn the bad things and not the good ones!"

After saying that, he left with a carefree smile.

Wang Teng walked over from the side, his face slightly dark.

Compared to Lu Hao and Wu Liang, Qi Hao, this Dao Palace deity, is truly full of rebellion!
Qi Hao comes from the Divine Treasury of the Heart, a divine treasury ignited by the fire of the Fire Domain. He is full of arrogance and disdain for everyone. He even shows slight disdain for Wang Teng, let alone powerful figures like the Peacock King. Qi Hao never hides his disdain for those powerful figures.

"This guy, sometimes he's so infuriating that you just want to rush over and beat him up!" Li Heishui grumbled as he approached from somewhere.

It's obvious that he was once "disliked" by Qi Hao.

But thinking about it, it's normal. Even his grandfather, Li Heng, might not get a good look from Qi Hao, let alone Li Heishui.

“You can’t beat him,” Wang Teng said.

"Grandpa!" Li Heishui exclaimed excitedly.

If there hadn't been so many people that he couldn't kneel down, he might have even kowtowed to Wang Teng a few times on the spot.

Wang Teng nodded slightly, "Qi Hao is stronger, definitely at the level of a Holy Son. He might not even be at a disadvantage against the Holy Son of Yao Guang."

Only a few people, such as the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King, knew that Qi Hao was a deity of his Dao Palace; others were unaware of it.

"Is it that strong?" Li Heishui asked in shock.

He rarely faced Qi Hao directly, and almost always Qi Hao was well protected by the Peacock King and several other bandits. He had never seen Qi Hao make a move and had no idea of ​​Qi Hao's strength.

"Yes," Wang Teng nodded.

"That's alright then." Li Heishui was always able to figure things out.

After entering the Yaochi Stone Archway, Wang Teng led Wang Erya away. As they walked through the archway, they greeted more than a dozen people with almost every step they took.

Too much fame can sometimes be a burden.

However, Wang Teng had no complaints. Whenever someone greeted him, he would nod in response, and sometimes he even managed to find time to look at the surrounding stones.

These stones are treasures of the Yaochi Holy Land, and they are not usually seen even deep within the Yaochi Stone Archway. It is only when the Yaochi Grand Ceremony is held that many of these stones are brought out for exhibition.

Just as Wang Teng was multitasking, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance:
"Master Yuanji has arrived!"
