This plan would surely make the Song family members sensitive, especially those with brains who would have ideas. As for foolish people like Song Shaobai, they would naturally scoff and even think Ye Tiancheng was out of his mind. Only someone out of their mind would covet that piece of land.
When Ye Tiancheng proposed this request, the Song family patriarch was filled with confusion.
"What do you want this piece of land for?"
The Song family patriarch asked.
"To cultivate it, to grow red sweet potatoes."
"The stuff that little chubby fellow introduced that was tested?" The Song family patriarch clearly didn't care, as that piece of land was barren. They were more than happy to have someone take it over. In fact, they were willing to give it to Ye Tiancheng for free, but Ye Tiancheng felt it was necessary to sign a contract with him for future convenience.
Of course, in this world, it wasn't called a contract but a covenant.
The paper produced by Sister Si and Sister Dou was a convenience that most people in this world, who signed covenants on wooden blocks, couldn't even imagine. When Ye Tiancheng took out the paper and wanted to sign a contract on it, everyone's eyes widened.
They looked at these things incredulously and laughed, saying, "Can you really handle this matter?"
"I can certainly handle this matter and leave no future trouble." Hearing this, everyone naturally believed his words and took everything he said as gospel.
"If that's the case, then let's sign the covenant." As he said this, a sly smile appeared on his face. In Ye Tiancheng's eyes, he was deliberately making things difficult for him and might even cause him a serious burden. He felt a surge of annoyance.
"What do you mean by this? Didn't you just say it was free?"
"Then was then, now is now." The one who spoke was naturally Song Shaobai, his eyes full of mockery, completely looking down on him.
What does it feel like to be looked down upon? Perhaps only he could truly understand.
Since it was impossible to communicate with these fellows, he had to show them a thing or two to teach them a lesson.
However, some people would absolutely not act that way for this reason. In their opinion, the problem lay in how to solve it. If it couldn't be solved, then naturally such misunderstandings would arise, making it impossible for them to resolve the issue. Therefore, in his view, the key to the problem was how they communicated.
"If there's truly no way to communicate, then it's truly impossible to resolve. There will be many misunderstandings between them."
To the point where they felt the problem wasn't with them but with others, so they would naturally not accept Ye Tiancheng's freebie.
"I can't believe you're going back on your word and not keeping your promise. What can I even say? You're simply a scoundrel."
As he said this, his heart was filled with immense anger, which could only be described as unbearable. He really wanted to rush over and slap them a couple of times.
Then he thought that harmony could lead to wealth, so he let it go. He didn't want to bother with them. The more he argued about such things, the more meaningless it seemed.
Even though under these circumstances, he felt he should cherish everything in front of him, as someone with high aspirations, he naturally couldn't accept all of this.
Regarding all of this, he naturally understood everything very clearly and didn't want to fuss about it. Once he understood everything, everything could naturally appear before him, and he could figure out what was going on.
Sometimes a very simple action of his could expose his inner thoughts. Hello, you.
What a person is thinking in their heart will naturally be revealed to some extent on their face.
Although he often didn't want to admit this, he had to admit it. Sometimes the problems placed before him were enough to make it difficult for him to face the entire situation.
And this entire situation was something he had to face. Regardless of whether he wanted to escape or not, when there was only one choice placed before him, he would naturally choose that choice.
Perhaps to others, this situation was truly sad and terrifying, but he didn't think it was a terrifying matter at all.
After all, it was his choice. So Ye Tiancheng smiled faintly, looking confident.
"If you think I'm a complete fool, then you are gravely mistaken. I can repeat everything you just said back to you."
Ye Tiancheng had transmigrated from a civilized society. His system had a storage space, which contained a mobile phone. While they were talking just now, it had already recorded it for him. So he took out his phone and played back what they had just said.
The Song family members were instantly stunned. They never expected Ye Tiancheng to have such an ability. It was simply like a celestial being. No, even a celestial being probably couldn't do this.
"You little brat, you're too detestable."
Enraged at being tricked, he was so angry that smoke was coming out of his ears. He glared at him angrily, his eyes full of fire.
"I know you're very angry and I know what you want to do, but I regret to inform you that here, you must do as I say."
His meaning was clear: he didn't want them to think too much, otherwise, he would definitely not be polite.
Having said so much, continuing to talk would be meaningless. Therefore, he really wanted these fellows to understand. Don't do anything superfluous in front of him, otherwise, they would be the ones to look bad.
After being played for a fool, they naturally wouldn't accept such an outcome. They were very angry, but it was useless.
Forced to accept this outcome, they could only choose the method they were familiar with to resolve the issue, which was to duel. If one party won the duel, the matter would be considered settled.
"Alright, I am willing to accept any of your conditions, as long as you agree to give me that piece of land."
Ye Tiancheng looked at them as if they were not there, his calm demeanor like a king descending.
Ye Tiancheng was full of confidence. He was naturally willing to accept their challenges, no matter what conditions they proposed, he would agree. He was naturally willing to accept their conditions.
Even more naturally, he was willing to sacrifice himself for this matter.
Perhaps others would think he was too foolish, perhaps others would think he was truly too reckless. But many things cannot be obtained just by thinking about them. For this matter, you must pay a great price.
Ye Tiancheng stood opposite them, ready for revenge. Song Shaobai held a strange weapon in his hand. This strange weapon was very heavy, weighing over 200 jin, requiring two strong men to lift it.
Yet, this fellow effortlessly held the heavy weapon in one hand. This weapon looked like a battle axe and also like a halberd.
"Brat, it's not too late to surrender now. When your bones are crushed by me, nothing you say will matter."
Song Shaobai was very confident. In his opinion, no one in this world could compare to him. He had wanted to confront Ye Tiancheng in this manner before, but he didn't have the chance. The Song family patriarch simply didn't allow him to do so. After all, it was a joyous occasion for the Song family. Although Su Mixian was the adopted daughter of the Song family patriarch, she was still his daughter. If such a matter disrupted the atmosphere, it would be embarrassing. Therefore, this fellow absolutely did not allow the brat to come out and interfere with Ye Tiancheng's wedding.
"What you think is not what you think, and what I think is not what I think, so you are thinking too much."
Ye Tiancheng smiled faintly, a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he were looking at an idiot.
Being treated as an idiot, no matter what, made him very unhappy. The smile on his face was as ugly as it could be.
"Damn it, you're looking for death!"
After saying this, the fellow charged out. The weapon in his hand cut through the air, creating a huge vortex. The flowers and grass on the ground were swept into the air by this airflow, turning into dust. Amidst the crowd, Song Shaobai immediately stopped operating with his hands. Ye Tiancheng waved his hand.
A powerful gust of air swept towards Ye Tiancheng. The immense force produced a sharp sound. Those without cultivation felt their ears were about to go deaf.
Seeing this outcome, the fellow was very smug, believing that this move of his would surely kill Ye Tiancheng.
But things did not go as planned. When this powerful airflow formed and reached Ye Tiancheng, it vanished into nothingness. No one knew why, not even Song Shaobai could figure it out. While he was still bewildered, he felt himself suspended in mid-air.
"Ahhh!"
At this moment, Song Shaobai was panicked, his mouth constantly emitting sharp cries.
"Brat, put me down quickly, or I won't spare you!"
"Is this how you ask for favors?" Ye Tiancheng smiled. "Then I shall grant your wish."
With that, he loosened his grip, and Song Shaobai fell from a great height. He felt his internal organs were about to shift, his mind was dizzy, and his eyes were filled with a dizzying sensation.
After a while, he regained his senses, patted the dirt off his body, and stood up, cursing Ye Tiancheng: "You little brat, how dare you humiliate me like this? Watch me chop you in half with an axe."
After saying this, he raised the strange weapon and swung it at Ye Tian again.
Ye Tiancheng dodged to the side, evading his fierce attack. The immense force struck the spot where Ye Tiancheng had just stood, creating a huge pit in the ground.
Seeing this pit, the crowd couldn't help but gasp. If it had hit Ye Tiancheng, he would have been killed, his entire body turned to ashes, with no bone fragments left.
As it turns out, the elder is still the elder.
After dodging this spiritual energy attack, Ye Tiancheng produced fine silver needles in his hand.
He flicked his fingers, and the fine silver needles flew towards Song Shaobai like a rain of arrows. Suddenly, his entire body was covered in silver needles.
The next second, Song Shaobai felt an unbearable itch all over his body.
"Bastard, what did you do to me!"
Song Shaobai cursed while scratching himself.
"Of course, I've hit your vital points. If you want to live, kneel on the ground and call me Grandpa three times." Ye Tiancheng said with a smile.
The Song family patriarch standing nearby immediately turned grim.
If he hadn't been there, it would have been fine. But hearing those words, how could he tolerate Song Shaobai calling Ye Tiancheng Grandpa? Wouldn't that make them equals?
And Ye Tiancheng was the son-in-law of his son's goddaughter.
If he really did as Ye Tiancheng said, the story would surely become a laughingstock for the Song family, and people would point fingers behind their backs.
However, Song Shaobai, who was already suffering unbearably, couldn't care about that. He just wanted to end this misfortune as soon as possible.
So he immediately did as Ye Tiancheng said.
Song Shaobai knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground. His proud head kept nodding like a pecking chicken, and he repeatedly called out, "Grandpa, Grandpa..."
