Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 690 - 0692: Mysterious Heritage

Li Xiaoran’s consolation made Chu Feng even more depressed.

Chu Feng, with a long face, said, "Do you really have such little faith in me?"

Li Xiaoran responded, "It’s not that I don’t think highly of you, it’s that I have absolutely no confidence. To ensure you don’t lose too badly and save me some face, this is the only way."

Chu Feng sighed and said, "All right then. Does your grandpa have any good tea? Could you lend it to me?"

When Li Xiaoran heard what Chu Feng said, she was left speechless and annoyed.

"I have no confidence, and you have no confidence, so why don’t you just skip the competition?" Li Xiaoran said angrily.

Chu Feng shrugged indifferently and said, "Since you also think I’m going to lose, let’s just scare them a bit. If by chance we win, we can chalk it up to good luck."

Li Xiaoran took a moment to think about it and realized that Chu Feng’s words made sense.

"Wait a second, I need to make a phone call," Li Xiaoran said.

It didn’t take long for Li Xiaoran to return.

"My grandpa said it’s no problem, but he also wants you to promise him one thing," Li Xiaoran said.

Chu Feng said, "I’ve never even met your grandpa, and he wants me to promise him something just like that? He trusts my character that much?"

Li Xiaoran said, "My grandpa knows you; he says it won’t be too hard. When you return to East River, just go to Grandpa He’s place and exchange two bottles of good wine."

Chu Feng knew which wine Li Xiaoran’s grandpa was talking about—it was the two bottles given to Huang Jianye last time.

But those two bottles of wine were too valuable, and Chu Feng wasn’t sure if He Zhen could give him another two bottles.

Chu Feng said, "Two bottles might be difficult, but I can try for one."

Li Xiaoran said, "Deal."

Chu Feng said, "Shouldn’t you ask for your grandpa’s opinion?"

Li Xiaoran, grinning, said, "No need. My grandpa told me to say just that. He said as long as you agree to get one bottle, it’s all right."

"Old and tricky!"

"What did you say?" Li Xiaoran asked, hands on her hips.

Chu Feng quickly said, "Nothing much. Just talking to myself; you can pretend I was calling myself that."

Still, this served as a reminder to Chu Feng. When dealing with such cunning and experienced people, he needed to be extra careful. Otherwise, he could fall into their traps at any time. By the time they sold him out, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

The North and South Tea King’s Tea Battle lasted almost two hours before it finally concluded.

In the end, the pricing rights for Huaxia’s tea market, valued at over 300 billion next year, fell into the hands of the South Tea King.

Winning such a battle, the South Tea King was almost exhausted to the point of collapse.

During the competition, they could remain calm and composed. But knowing the results truly drained them physically and mentally since it was not just about a certificate or a trophy. It was about a market worth hundreds of billions and profits worth tens of billions.

Thus ended a remarkably thrilling Tea Battle. Whether they were connoisseurs of tea or not, everyone got what they wanted and found enjoyment in the process.

Just when everyone thought there would be no more exciting events to come,

The host, dressed in a cheongsam as green as tea, gracefully approached.

Chu Feng found the hostess familiar; she seemed to be a very famous female host, but since Chu Feng seldom watched TV, he could not recall her name, finding her only vaguely familiar.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe many of you are still longing for more after the recent Tea Battle. However, the main event of today has not yet begun," she said, pausing for a moment.

This was a hosting technique used to capture everyone’s attention fully.

Sure enough, hearing that the main event had not yet started, everyone put down their teacups and turned their eyes towards the female host on the stage.

The Tea Battle between the North and South Tea King had ended, and a market worth hundreds of billions had been decided. What could be the main event then?

Seeing that everyone’s attention was on her, the host unveiled the mystery with a hint of secrecy, "You must be curious what could be more significant than a market worth hundreds of billions. But let me give you some hints, for you to guess. First, the upcoming event is also a Tea Battle. The competitors are both young talents. One from the Tea Immortal Family, the other with a mysterious heritage. Second, it’s a gambling match, with a total bet of over four hundred million. And it’s a pure cash bet."

With these revelations, the host immediately captured everyone’s attention.

The Tea Battle between the North and South Tea King only had prize money of tens of millions. As for the hundreds of billions market, it was nothing tangible to them. However, this four hundred million cash bet truly spiked everyone’s adrenaline.

Also, at a glance from the hostess, eight burly men immediately carried a sedan chair onto the stage.

However, the sedan had no canopy, only a base.

On the base, stacks of bright red Huaxia Coins were placed. A full four hundred million in cash was carried up like this.

"Wow!"

The sight of the cash being carried up caused an uproar in the venue.

Although those who managed to enter this venue each had a net worth far beyond this amount,

not everyone had seen so much cash before.

"Third." At this moment, the host raised her voice once again, drawing all the attention back to her.

"Hurry up and tell us, what is the third thing?" someone impatiently said, eager to witness the upcoming Tea Battle.

"Third, the organizers accept bets from everyone," the host did not beat around the bush.

"Who is competing, tell us quickly." someone could not stand the suspense anymore.

"What are the odds?" another asked.

The host signaled for silence, then began, "The participants are, on one side, our organizer, the Qi Family’s eldest young master, Qi Wen. On the other side, a mysterious inheritor from East River, Chu Feng, Young Master Chu. As for the odds, they are set at three to one."

Everyone knew Qi Wen who was present, but not many knew about Young Master Chu from East River.

There was a buzz below as everyone inquired who Chu Feng really was.

Chu Feng watched from his box, his regard for his opponent Qi Wen rising significantly.

"Brother Feng, do you have any mysterious heritage?" Li Xiaoran asked, puzzled.

Narrowing his eyes, Chu Feng replied, "It’s precisely because I have no heritage that makes it mysterious. Moreover, do you think it honorable for a member of the Tea Immortal Family to bully someone like me who knows nothing of the Tea Ceremony? And if he didn’t say so, how could he provoke those below to investigate my background? Killing two birds with one stone, if it were me, I would do the same."

After listening to Chu Feng, Li Xiaoran asked, "But what if they find out you have no heritage when you compete?"

Chu Feng replied, "Since it’s a mysterious heritage, who do you think would care? Maybe those below will think that my heritage is just like this. Now everyone will only focus on me, not my heritage. However, this is not really what I wanted."
