Super Lazy System - Chapter 11 Smart Elder Li.
“Haha, old man I did it, I Bai Gu lasted five glorious minutes in combat with master Dong’er, now give me everything you own”
Shocked expressions appeared on everyone’s faces, only the elder in charge had a wry smile,” this rascal can’t stop making trouble even when I’m in charge, the other elders will never let me hear the end of this.” Shaking his head he decided to just let things play out.
Seeing the crowds shocked expressions Bai Gu knew the time to strike was now, he took a couple of steps back, his eyes widening in shock and finally raising a shaky hand in disbelief. “Wh-what you want to go back on your word.”
Turning to look at where Bai Gu was pointing, the crowd found a struggling elder who was fiercely shouting at a scared youth. “Damn you brat who said I touched you, I’m a true and virtuous ma–” Before the old man could continue he was shocked to discover he was the centre of attention.
Everyone had an odd expression seeing this old man being held by a scared youth, who couldn’t hold back a smile. Did this look like a victim?
“Juniors this is what we call theft, lay your eyes on that smiling man! In case you somehow forgot that’s thievish Buu, the most thievish and wicked member of the clan. You should seize this opportunity to widen your horizons once more. Thievish Buu, spends most of his time stealing and swindling in secret, it would be easier to find a phoenix feather or a qilin horn than to see him.”
The junior disciples looked in awe at their senior, he almost spoke word for word of what he said the last three time, almost as if he went back in time and somehow copied what he said the last time, how brilliant.
When everyone heard the name thievish Buu they all reacted by tightly clenching their spiritual rings, and spiritual pouches, one guy even clenched his buttocks. (I wonder why?)
They all knew this guy’s reputation, you let him get close the next second your penniless. It was truly a frightening thing, many over the years had fallen prey to his thievish ways.
The smartest ones quickly got a gist of what was happening, this poor fool was schemed out off some money.
As if to confirm their hypophysis Bai Gu spoke through gritted teeth, “old man you can’t go back on your word. You promised me that if I could last five whole minutes in that arena against master Dong’er you would give everything to your name.”
Hearing this everyone couldn’t help but look oddly at this old man, why would someone make such a bet. Did he like living on the edge?
Seeing the looks thrown his way the old man’s face redden, but he wasn’t willing to give everything he owned to this shameless bastard. Quickly hiding any signs of embarrassment the old man spoke in the most righteous of voice possible. “What kind of man do you think I am? I’ll let you know I’m a man with virtue and morality, I would never cheat a youngster like you. Now if you could get your friend to let go of me I’ll forget about you trying to framing me.”
“Sigh, old man please stop this you’re just throwing away what little face you had left.” Shameless Gu said while taking out a crystal.
The old man expression changed the moment he saw that crystal, he didn’t expect this youth to own a profound memory crystal.
Like the name implied the profound memory crystal, was a profound item that allowed one to record real-life events. But the crystal was very expensive and most would rather spend such funds on something to increase their strength, which was why he was shocked to see one in Bai Gu hand.
“Old man, you can’t weasel your way out of this.” Thievish Buu said while letting go of the old man, but if one were to look closely they might notice six rings in Thievish Buu hand.
“Old man, this will shut you” Bai Gu spoke while channelling spiritual energy into the crystal.
Suddenly the crystal started spinning and an image started to form. Within the crystal three figures appeared, at first, they were faint, slowly but surely the image became clear for everyone.
The old man’s expression became cold waving his hand the old man prepared to launch an attack, but before anything could happen a cold snort echoed throughout the mighty precook head.
“Senior Li I suggest you behave yourself while in the Bai clan territory, I’ll let you know no one can make trouble when Bai–” Before the one known as the elder in charge could finish he was rudely interrupted by his own son of all things.
“Father be quiet the memory within the crystal is about to play.” As if to confirm Bai Gu words the recording within the crystal started playing out for everyone to see.
An unholy image greeted everyone, it was the smashed up pig face Bai Gu. He was slowly approaching an old man and a smiling youth, everything else within the crystal was empty only these three could be seen.
“Elder Li, I’ve heard many great things about you, it is this humble one’s greatest honour to great your greatness. I can truly die happy now for I Bai Gu have met you this fine day.” Bai Gu voice was blooming with pride.
If the audience didn’t see what happened earlier they would of all been duped by Bai Gu acting, he truly looks like a youth who just met his idol.
The old man bought the act, laughing brightly, he spoke to this young “admirer” of his. “Haha, young one I see you know your stuff come here and lord Li will sign his name into your skin. When people ask what is that scar that looks like writing, you will say lord Li was here.”
Hearing this Bai Gu face stiffened a bit, wasn’t this old man a little too full of himself. Luckily for him, Bai Buu stepped in before things could get awkward.
“Elder this is my brother Bai Gu the one I was telling you about, just look at his face doesn’t it shout I’m a warrior.” Elder Li was a bit surprised that face shouted a lot of things but “I’m a warrior wasn’t one of them.”
The old man looks suspiciously at this smiling youth, “This is the brother you spoke of the one who could last five minutes with master Dong’er?”
“Elder Li, I’ll let you know that not only is my brother an unparalleled genius he is even best friends with Fan Yun.” The smiling youth said.
At first, the old man was unconvinced, but the moment he heard the name Fan Yun, he put on a look of respect, while inside a devious scheme was playing out. He knew who Fan Yun was, the only child of an Immortal elder who was currently staying in the Bai clan.
What was an Immortal cultivator, if not a mighty existence that could shake the entire world. Not counting the four great clans, not a single clan or sect had an immortal elder, just with that, one could see the importance of an Immortal.
Thinking of all this the old man knew he had to find a way to get close to this youth, after that he would met and woo Fan Yun. Once he conquered her heart that immortal elder would become his father in law.
The old man couldn’t be more excited, thinking of how he would soon have an immortal as a father in law he almost burst out laughing. But he knew this wasn’t the time controlling himself he knew he first had to get close to this youth. As for what comes later or if Fan Yun would even go for an old man, that didn’t matter after all he was elder Li, who could resist him.
“So my little friend is really a hidden expert, haha to think I would miss out on your brilliance.” Talking up to here the old man looked hesitant to continue.
Seeing the look on the old man’s face Bai Gu almost rolled his eyes, who did this old man think he was fooling. But as a great schemer, he knew he had to let this old man think he was smart and leading the conversation.
“Senior Li please speak your mind, any form of guidance you can offer would be this juniors honour.” Bai Gu was close to kowtowing at this point, after all, who wouldn’t want elder Li advise.
Seeing this kids reaction elder Li couldn’t help nodding his head, this youth knew what he was doing. Perhaps when he got the beauty he would keep him around as a servant.
“Very well young man too tell you the truth I don’t believe you can last five minutes against master Dong’er.”
“Elder Li I’m telling you my brother is a true genius, he truly can
last five minutes against master Dong’er” Bai Buu spoke up for his brother, by this point that ever-present smile on his face was gone.
The old man couldn’t help but smirk, little kids were soooo easy to fool.”Ok, ok no need to get angry, how about this if your so sure your brother can win why don’t we place a bet?”
Bai Gu was jumping up and down from excitement, but then that excitement dispersed to be replaced by a look of despair. It was with the utmost dejection that Bai Gu replayed, “elder Li this one is honoured, but I have nothing of value to bet with.”
The old man couldn’t get happier, this was far too easy. “Is that so, what a shame it would have been truly fun to have a little bet” the old man truly look sad, it was almost if someone stole his puppy.
“Wait I know, you said that you know Fan Yun, this humble elder has always been an admirer of fairy Yun. How about this if this lowly one wins you can introduce us.”
