Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Borrowed Law from Heaven, Grant Me Divine Power (Update 1)
“What a joke! A genius like me, lacking something as trivial as a Jade Token?” Ye Haochuan laughed arrogantly, then took out a dozen or so jade-colored tokens of varying sizes from his ring.
Most of these tokens were low-level magical treasures, “harvested” by Ye Haochuan from the Evil Sect’s warehouse in the past.
Ye Xiao was initially stunned hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, but upon seeing the tokens in his hands, he burst into laughter: “You idiot, what kind of junk are these? Do you really think they can compare to the tokens in my hands?”
Ye Haochuan scratched his head “in confusion” and asked, “They look quite similar, plus the quality of my jade is much better than yours!”
Even Elder Pei couldn’t stand it anymore and explained, “This is not a place to judge jade quality; look at anything but the quality of the jade? You better leave; these are not the tokens that can enter the Holy Land.”
Ye Haochuan seemed even more “confused” and asked Ye Xiao, “I’ve honestly never seen this Jade Token before, could Eldest Young Master Ye let me see it?”
Ye Xiao sneered and tossed his token to Ye Haochuan disdainfully, saying, “Go ahead and take a good look. Still, the same offer stands: kneel and call me ‘grandpa,’ and I’ll mercifully give you one. Miss this chance, and you’ll regret it forever, haha.”
Ye Xiao wasn’t worried about Ye Haochuan using any trickery, confidently relying on his own cultivation. Besides, with Elder Pei present, Ye Haochuan would suffer greatly if he tried anything forceful.
“Eldest Young Master Ye, aren’t you underestimating me?” Ye Haochuan smirked disdainfully, “I forgot to tell you, I’ve recently learned an amazing imprinting technique. Give me a moment, and I can create an identical copy.”
“Imprinting technique? Haha, do you think I’m a three-year-old? I’ve never heard of such a technique in my life,” Ye Xiao scoffed. “If you truly can make an identical copy, I’ll change my surname to yours.”
“Isn’t that nonsense? You already share the same surname with me!” Ye Haochuan chuckled.
“You…” Ye Xiao was momentarily infuriated.
For a moment, he forgot they both had the surname Ye. Ye Haochuan’s remark about sharing his surname sounded like Ye Xiao was the son, which put Ye Xiao at a disadvantage.
And he had no grounds to refute since they did share the same surname.
“You’re just playing petty tricks!” Ye Xiao said with disdain, “If you really can make an identical one, I’ll give you this token!”
“One isn’t enough. Eldest Young Master Ye, with your wealth, should at least bet ten!” Ye Haochuan laughed.
“If you lose, do you have ten tokens to give me?” Ye Xiao sneered. “No matter, I wasn’t planning on accepting yours anyway. If you lose, I’d want you to be my servant for life!”
“Eldest Young Master Ye surely is a shrewd businessman—buying me for ten tokens?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, “But, I’m not one who backs down from a bet!”
Then he turned to Elder Pei, “Elder Pei, please bear witness!”
Elder Pei nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Ye Haochuan, clearly intrigued by his imprinting technique.
“Ladies and gentlemen, watch closely!”
Ye Haochuan held Ye Xiao’s jade token in his hand, closed his eyes, and mumbled something continuously.
After about half a minute, Ye Haochuan’s hands moved rapidly, sometimes probing forward, other times retracting behind him.
“Heavenly Grace, grant me divine power, let all swine, dogs, and beasts bow before me…”
At this moment, Ye Haochuan appeared quite the charlatan.
His words were grating to Ye Xiao’s ears.
Swine, dogs, and beasts? Clearly a mockery!
Ye Xiao’s face turned ashen, about to curse, but Ye Haochuan suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hands, and laughed, “Now it’s time to show the true skill!”
With that, his tightly clasped left hand slowly opened. In his left hand lay the token Ye Xiao had given him.
“Such theatrics!” Ye Xiao sneered.
But in the next moment, it was as if he heard a loud slap. In Ye Haochuan’s right hand, there was indeed another token identical to the one in his left.
“This… this is impossible?” Ye Xiao was dumbfounded.
“Let me see!” Elder Pei, intrigued, took a look at both tokens.
Ye Xiao finally seemed to realize and hastily said, “This token must be fake. Even if you’ve mimicked the shape, you can’t replicate the unique markings!”
It turned out the token not only had a unique shape but also special markings to prevent forgery. These markings were impossible to replicate.
Elder Pei shook his head and said, “Both are real!”
He then cast a meaningful, amused glance at Ye Haochuan.
As Elder Pei observed Ye Haochuan, Ye Haochuan was also observing him.
When Ye Haochuan realized Elder Pei didn’t plan to reveal the truth to Ye Xiao, his heart settled.
Ye Haochuan didn’t actually know any imprinting technique; he was merely bluffing to mislead Ye Xiao. It would have been clear to an outsider, and Ye Haochuan feared Elder Pei might expose him.
But now it seemed Elder Pei wasn’t siding with Ye Xiao either.
“Eldest Young Master Ye, a bet’s a bet. Where’s my token?” Ye Haochuan raised an eyebrow with a mischievous grin.
“No, this can’t be, you must have cheated. How could such a strange technique exist?” Ye Xiao mumbled incredulously.
At the mention of “cheat,” Ye Xiao paused and angrily said, “Yes, you already had a token. You didn’t make it at all.”
Though Elder Pei didn’t speak, Ye Xiao wasn’t entirely foolish. It was indeed strange for Ye Haochuan to be here in the first place. Having a token wasn’t improbable.
But Ye Xiao had initially assumed Ye Haochuan had no tokens. Because of this, he bet carelessly. Ye Haochuan’s earlier theatrics further misled him, momentarily clouding his judgment.
“Eldest Young Master Ye, aren’t you a sore loser?” Ye Haochuan looked at Ye Xiao with disdain, “You, of all people, should be wary of sullying the Ye Family’s name.”
“It’s not that I can’t accept losing; it’s your deception! If you’re so skillful, do it again!” Ye Xiao said hysterically.
Ye Haochuan scoffed, “You think I’ll do it just because you say so? I’d have no face left.”
“Face? You’re just scared!” Ye Xiao felt he’d found Ye Haochuan’s weak spot, suddenly regaining his confidence.
Damn, this guy’s really not easy to fool!
Ye Haochuan felt a pang of frustration.
