Chapter 2829: Chapter 2849: You caused me to lose, how will you compensate me?

Dai Yunshen turned his head and was about to leave the competition stage when Su Hao burst into laughter, "Where are you going? You’re the second place, and there are still awards to be handed out."

You are the second place!

These words from Su Hao stabbed Dai Yunshen in the heart. Dai Yunshen turned back and sneered, "Don’t be so proud, you just had a bit better luck, that’s all."

Su Hao, smiling, responded, "Yes, luck is also a part of strength, isn’t it?"

Dai Yunshen felt dejected.

He had seen Su Hao worrying about the final earlier since they knew each other well. If he had been prepared earlier, why would he worry?

Thinking about this, Dai Yunshen suddenly realized something. If this old guy really got some Miracle Fire, wouldn’t he have already shown off in front of him proudly? Why was he keeping such a low profile today?

Unless the fire wasn’t his?

Dai Yunshen’s eyes brightened. Borrowed Miracle Fire?

Even though Dai Yunshen had already lost the competition, the thought of his old rival Su Hao acquiring a Miracle Fire better than the Purple Heart Lotus Fire was still very disturbing.

The success of an old rival was even harder to accept than one’s own failure!

While the staff was still preparing for the award ceremony, Dai Yunshen walked up to Su Hao and said with a laugh, "You borrowed that Miracle Fire, didn’t you?"

Su Hao was slightly taken aback. He had not expected Dai Yunshen to guess the answer so quickly, but he quickly replied, "Want to know, huh? I won’t tell you."

Dai Yunshen let out a laugh. He and Su Hao had dealt with each other countless times, and he could not be deceived by the subtle expression Su Hao had just showed.

"Whose did you borrow, having such Miracle Fire surely isn’t something an ordinary person would have, right?"

Seeing that he was figured out, Su Hao didn’t deny it but laughed and said, "Secret, I won’t tell you, it will kill you with curiosity!"

Dai Yunshen said with a snort, "All mysterious, who cares!"

Su Hao rolled his eyes and said smugly, "If you don’t care about the answer, then don’t ask."

Dai Yunshen was choked up, snorted coldly, and stopped engaging with Su Hao.

The award ceremony ended quickly, which also meant the Artifact Refining Competition had come to a close.

As Su Hao left the competition venue, he did not go far before he saw Lin Chen and Gong Jianying waiting by the passage.

Su Hao paused, looked around as many staff members were watching, and then transmitted a message to Lin Chen, "Meet at the place where we talked earlier."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, standing inconspicuously by the roadside without greeting Su Hao.

After Su Hao passed by, Lin Chen and Gong Jianying then left the passage and headed outside.

In the distance, Dai Yunshen’s figure appeared; he squinted his eyes to look at Lin Chen and Gong Jianying leaving, a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Go, check, find out the identity of that man and woman."

A disciple by his side responded, "That young woman is a junior disciple of True Person Tai Xu, and that man is her friend..."

True Person Tai Xu?

Dai Yunshen’s eyes suddenly widened, "Could this old guy have borrowed the Miracle Fire from Mount Taixu? True Person Tai Xu is also an Artifact Refining Master, and he has quite a few Miracle Fires..."

The disciple said indignantly, "He won the competition by using the borrowed Miracle Fire, it’s unfair!"

Dai Yunshen frowned and scolded, "There’s no rule that says the Miracle Fire used in the Artifact Refining Competition has to be one’s own. If others can borrow a higher quality Miracle Fire, that’s also a skill. If you lose, you must accept it and not blame others!"

The disciple, scolded, didn’t dare to make a sound and quickly agreed.

Dai Yunshen walked out of the passage and just happened to see Su Hao going outside. Dai Yunshen thought for a moment, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he quietly followed him.

I’ll expose you on the spot and see how embarrassed you get!

...

In the open space of the valley.

Su Hao floated over, looked around, and said with a smile, "Lin?"

Lin Chen and Gong Jianying walked out from the canyon and cupped their fists, "Congratulations to the senior for taking first place."

Su Hao laughed heartily, his demeanor exhilarated, "It’s not so important whether I win first place or not, but defeating that old guy is truly delightful. I also need to thank you for proactively lending me the Phoenix Fire, otherwise, I would have definitely lost today."

The Magical Treasure that Su Hao had refined with the Phoenix Fire lasted only a blink longer than the one Dai Yunshen had refined. Such a slight difference shows that the difference in quality was extremely limited. If he had used the Nine Yang Spirit Fire for refining, the quality of the treasure would definitely have been lower, and he would have certainly lost.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Ultimately, it’s all about the senior’s strength, the Phoenix Fire was just icing on the cake."

Su Yao laughed heartily, "You kid, stop flattering me. True Person Tai Xu is also an Artifact Refining Master, and his ability in artifact refinement is no less than mine. Besides, his disciple Zhou Daodao is a refining genius. Although he is still young, his skills are not minor. Why didn’t you ask them for help?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "It’s not that I didn’t want to ask for their guidance, mainly because they were not around. I don’t know how long it will be before True Person Tai Xu is free to return, and Senior Brother Zhou has been out for a long time now. I don’t even know where he is, let alone ask for advice."

"I can’t stay in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain much longer, so I can’t wait for them to return. This time I originally came to handle other matters, just passing by here I saw the Artifact Refining Competition and came to see if I could find someone to help me refine a flying sword. I didn’t hold much hope, but when the senior came to the arena and mentioned the Miracle Fire, didn’t it just work out?"

Su Hao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That’s what fate is. I originally came to ask an old friend about something, and it just happened. If Dai Yunshen knew about this, I’m afraid his nose would be crooked with anger..."

Su Hao had not finished speaking when a surprised voice interrupted, "I originally thought Su Hao borrowed the Miracle Fire from Mount Taixu, but I didn’t expect that it was you who lent it to him. You kid, messing up my big plan!"

Lin Chen was slightly startled and turned his head to look, only to see Dai Yunshen showing his form at the entrance of the valley and walking into the valley.

Su Hao widened his eyes, "You old coot actually followed me, have you no shame?"

Dai Yunshen retorted unabashedly, "Is this your territory? You can walk here, but I can’t? It’s just coincidental that I passed by here on my walk."

Su Hao laughed in annoyance, "You shameless old man, how can you even say such things?"

Dai Yunshen laughed heartily, "If you can enter the competition without any scruples, why can’t I walk a few steps?"

Su Hao sneered, "I’m lucky, so what? It was just my luck to come across this, is that why you’re sore about losing?"

Dai Yunshen said with a laugh, "Whether I’m upset or not doesn’t matter; this time, I admit defeat."

As they talked, Dai Yunshen had already approached the three, his eyes falling on Lin Chen, "Young man, it was you who lent him the Miracle Fire, causing me to lose. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Su Hao interrupted, "Dai Yunshen, if you have an issue, take it up with me. He only lent me the fire, don’t trouble him. Oh, by the way, he is a rising star valued by True Person Tai Xu, so you better consider whether you can withstand a beating from True Person Tai Xu if you make trouble for him..."
