Yu Luomian looked at this scene before him, his eyes first showing shock, then quickly turning to wild joy.
Meng Bei happened to ask at this moment: "Does Uncle have some urgent matter coming here today? If there's anything I, Meng Bei, can help with, I'll definitely do my best."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian became even more delighted and hurriedly repeated what he'd said before.
However, this time when Yu Luomian spoke, he wasn't as panicked as before, but rather quite confident.
Just as Liu Erlong had thought earlier, after seeing Meng Bei pull Liu Erlong into his embrace, Yu Luomian immediately felt full of confidence.
Meng Bei listened to Yu Luomian's account, then showed some difficulty.
"Uncle, that spirit bone has already been absorbed by you. This matter is afraid it won't be easy to resolve!"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian didn't care and instead asked back: "Xiao Bei, what's so difficult about this?"
"You're now the continent's number one genius. Young as you are, your strength rivals Title Douluos - you're worth far more than a mere spirit bone. As long as you're willing to personally take responsibility for this matter, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan definitely won't do anything!"
Meng Bei frowned slightly and said:
"Uncle's meaning is for me alone to take all the responsibility?"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian detected a hint of dissatisfaction in Meng Bei's words.
Normally, Yu Luomian would definitely try to appease Meng Bei immediately. But this time was different - looking at how Meng Bei held Liu Erlong, Yu Luomian was confident Meng Bei couldn't turn against him. So Yu Luomian spoke bluntly:
"Xiao Bei, this isn't me deliberately making you take responsibility. It's that I really can't bear this matter, but you're currently the continent's number one genius. This matter falling on you won't cause any problems at all. Look, how about helping me just this once?"
Speaking, Yu Luomian turned his gaze to Liu Erlong and smiled: "Xiao Bei, I very much approve of your relationship with Erlong."
Although his words said approval, from Yu Luomian's tone there seemed to be a hint of threat.
"Father, what are you saying to Xiao Bei!"
Liu Erlong shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Yu Luomian didn't care and instead scolded:
"Erlong, don't interrupt my conversation with Xiao Bei!"
Meng Bei heard this and sneered coldly in his heart.
Looking at Yu Luomian's current attitude, where was the appearance of someone who came to beg? On the contrary, it seemed like he was the one begging.
It seemed Yu Luomian thought he had Meng Bei figured out.
However, this was fine - everything was within Meng Bei's expectations.
At this time, Meng Bei's eyes narrowed slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Liu Erlong was held in Meng Bei's arms. Looking at Meng Bei's silent expression, she thought Meng Bei was struggling internally, which made Liu Erlong feel quite heartbroken.
In Liu Erlong's eyes, although Meng Bei's strength was formidable, he was still just a young child.
Now being forced by her father, bearing such pressure.
Looking at the seemingly very conflicted Meng Bei, Liu Erlong gradually made up her mind.
Compared to her bastard father, obviously Meng Bei was the one who truly cared about her.
"Xiao Bei, don't force yourself for my sake."
Liu Erlong said this, then buried her face in Meng Bei's chest.
Yu Luomian beside them was so angry he trembled when he heard this.
Bastard!
How could he have such a bastard daughter!
With Liu Erlong saying this, would Meng Bei still help him?
Yu Luomian's previous confidence was completely swept away at this moment, replaced by fear.
Just as he was hesitating whether to lower himself and beg Meng Bei, Meng Bei spoke.
"Uncle, I agree!"
Hearing this was like heavenly music.
Yu Luomian's confidence immediately returned.
Meng Bei then said: "I can agree, but there are a few conditions!"
Yu Luomian said:
"Worthy nephew, please speak."
Meng Bei said: "I'll take on this matter, but Uncle can never again use Erlong and my relationship to make demands."
Hearing this, although it was Meng Bei's condition, Yu Luomian's confidence actually grew even stronger.
He had already determined that Liu Erlong was Meng Bei's fatal weakness. So his face involuntarily broke into a smile.
"Good, I agree!"
Yu Luomian said.
Meng Bei continued:
"Uncle can never tell anyone about Erlong and my relationship in the future!"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian's confidence grew even more.
He already concluded that Liu Erlong was Meng Bei's Achilles heel, so his face couldn't help but bloom with joy.
"Good, I agree to everything!"
Yu Luomian said.
Meng Bei continued:
"This is only this once, never again."
Yu Luomian said:
"Agreed."
Hearing this, Meng Bei deliberately let out a long breath, reinforcing Yu Luomian's judgment.
Then Meng Bei took out a brocade box and said: "I originally intended to give this to Erlong, but since such a thing has happened, perhaps it's fate."
Speaking, Meng Bei opened the brocade box in front of Yu Luomian.
"This, this is!"
Yu Luomian's eyes couldn't hide his shock and greed.
Inside the brocade box lay a spirit bone with interweaving gold and red colors.
Meng Bei said: "This is a 30,000-year Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone, a gift the Spirit Hall Pope gave me previously. This spirit bone has fire attributes. I originally intended to give it to Erlong, but now..."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian hurriedly asked:
"Now what? Worthy nephew, are you taking this spirit bone to compensate?"
Meng Bei nodded:
"That's right. Since Uncle has already absorbed the spirit bone, it can't be undone. I can only use this spirit bone to compensate. Although this spirit bone's years aren't as high as the one Uncle absorbed, it can compensate somewhat. Plus with my face, we should be able to let this matter pass."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian hurriedly said:
"Worthy nephew, you're confused! You're now the continent's number one genius. Just with your talent, Ning Fengzhi won't do anything to you. There's no need to waste this precious spirit bone!"
Hearing this, Meng Bei knew the fish had taken the bait, so he deliberately said: "What Uncle says, I naturally know. But along my growth path, I know I owe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan much. How can I now brazenly let them directly lose a precious spirit bone?"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian became truly anxious and kept saying:
"Worthy nephew, what is face? How can it compare to a ten-thousand-year spirit bone?"
Meng Bei shook his head:
"Uncle, no need to say more. My mind is made up."
Speaking, Meng Bei deliberately held the spirit bone and examined it before Yu Luomian.
Then slowly prepared to put it away.
Sure enough, this further stimulated Yu Luomian's greed.
Yu Luomian watched as the spirit bone that would be given away for nothing became more and more unwilling.
In this kind of person's heart, compared to a spirit bone, face was simply worthless.
Meng Bei clearly could settle this matter with just his face, yet insisted on giving away a spirit bone for nothing. To Yu Luomian, this was simply wasting heaven's gifts.
At this moment, the spirit bone was right before Yu Luomian. With just a reach, he could snatch it.
Moreover, in Yu Luomian's judgment, he had already grasped Meng Bei's fatal weakness. He believed that even if he snatched the spirit bone on the spot, committing this unrighteous act, as long as he brought up Liu Erlong, Meng Bei would have no choice but to compromise.
