Chapter 157: Big Competition Betting, Taoist Couple’s Odds
“Take a look, take a look! The big competition is coming, buy it and leave!
Pick the player you like and choose his ranking! "
In Zongmen Square, some people have already started a betting business.
Among the few players on the list, they are basically true disciples or inner disciples of each peak.
Lu Xuan could be said to be very familiar with some of the most popular names.
The number one player is naturally Ling Xiao, whose odds are very low, not even 1 to 1.
In the eyes of most people, she is basically the appointed leader.
As for the remaining names, in addition to some true disciples from other peaks, there were two familiar names, Lu Xuan.
The odds for Duan Yingchao and Lu Qi are not very high either.
The rules for betting are not too complicated. Just choose the player you like and the ranking you like.
The odds also vary depending on the ranking.
But Lu Xuan obviously doesn't need to think too much. There is only one thing he wants to bet on.
That was his Taoist companion, Xia Ningyan, the only unpopular one among all the true disciples.
The lowest odds also reach 1:10.
"Hello, I am Xia Ningyan, five spirit beads."
Among the lively crowd, Lu Xuan squeezed to the stall and put in a few bright beads with a smile.
All placed on the table.
"Eh? This brother is really brave. He wants to give it a try.
Can the flying sword turn into a spirit boat and make a fortune directly in one go? "
The man who shouted just now couldn't help but be startled when he saw this. He looked up at Lu Xuan.
I just felt that he looked familiar, but for a while I couldn't remember who it was.
"First place, thank you, this is my identity token."
Lu Xuan took off the token from his waist and handed it to the monk in front of him for confirmation.
"Okay! Five spiritual beads, Crimson Moon Peak disciple Lu Xuan placed bets.
Xia Ningyan. Number one, right?
You keep this list. When the time comes, you will only recognize the order but not the person. "
After confirming the token, the man dipped his pen in ink and wrote down the words on two pieces of yellow paper.
Keep one for yourself and give one to Lu Xuan.
"Okay, bye, I'll come over in a few days to collect the money."
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and then left calmly without looking back.
And his move immediately made the crowd excited, and they were talking about it for a while.
"Hey, look! Isn't this kid the Taoist companion of the now-defunct Xia Lingyan?"
"Hi~, yes, yes, how dare he pay so much money?"
"Is it possible that his Taoist companion has recovered his cultivation?"
"I think it's a scam, it's probably a cover-up, and I'm trying to make things up here.
They jointly set up a game with the stall owners to deceive us here!
When the time comes, his five spirit beads will be returned in full, and our money will be divided into 30 to 70 cents! "
"It's hard to say, I'd better make some bets together."
And listening to the noisy discussion of the crowd, Lu Xuan was also thoughtful.
‘It seems that I won’t be able to show up in person later, so I have to find someone to help me place bets at various gambling houses within the sect.
By the time the competition is over, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money’
After Lu Xuan pondered for a while, he quickly made a new plan.
Regardless of whether he and Ning Yan were looking for a hilltop to build a cave on Shuize Peak.
Either starting a sect or setting up one's own business requires a lot of resources.
And the gambling of this big competition was enough to stretch their slightly dry wallets until they could no longer hold on.
Just when Lu Xuan was about to return to the wooden house where he and Xia Ningyan were.
Suddenly, as he lowered his head to think, he suddenly bumped into someone.
At first, Lu Xuan thought he had hit a solid wall, but when he raised his head, he thought he had hit a solid wall.
He found a pair of golden vertical pupils staring nakedly at him. The heat contained in it made him tremble.
“Junior Brother Lu, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here.
It seems that God really favors me. "
As he said that, Duan Yingchao grabbed Lu Xuan's shoulders with his rough hands.
A slightly evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Duan, Senior Sister Duan, why are you here? I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly, then took two steps back and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Junior brother, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Stay with me for a while.
This square is rarely so lively, why not take a stroll? "
Pulling Lu Xuan into his arms, Duan Yingchao's hands roamed his body wantonly.
The golden pupils emit a captivating light.
"Get your dirty hands off!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came, and a white palm held Duan Yingchao's arm.
The cold air emanated, instantly covering the surface of her skin with a thick layer of frost.
"It's interesting, the real owner is here."
Duan Yingchao let go of his hand, and then blood surged in his body. His arm shook slightly, forcing the biting cold air out of his body.
"Ning Yan, it wasn't me just now."
Lu Xuan hurriedly broke away, walked to Xia Ningyan, and explained in a hurry.
"I know Ah Xuan. Needless to say, I have encountered many such scumbags."
Xia Ningyan stood in front of Lu Xuan, her cold eyes full of chill.
She stared at Duan Yingchao in front of her, and the aura on her body gradually increased.
Be ready to take action at any time.
It's time to scare those people who are up to no good and let them know.
If you dare to have evil thoughts about other people's Taoist companions, you will have to pay a price!
“Senior Sister Xia, I was wrong this time and I shouldn’t have come in front of you.
There won't be a next time, I apologize to you. "
However, Duan Yingchao suddenly relented, but his words when apologizing seemed a bit strange.
"Also, Senior Sister Xia, if you still have grudges against me.
We can wait until the big competition to show off. "
"Senior Sister Duan, please leave first, and so do you Ningyan, don't be angry.
Now is not the time to fight, don't delay important things! "
Lu Xuan quickly intervened between the two of them to cool down the increasingly tense atmosphere.
If a fight really breaks out now and the Taoist companion's strength is exposed, the odds will definitely drop a lot, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
"Axuan, let's go."
After noticing the gazes of the people around her, Xia Ningyan calmed down and understood that now was not the time.
So after snorting coldly, he took Lu Xuan's hand and led him away.
The monks watching the excitement also started talking again.
“Oh, I was once the proud man of heaven, but now I don’t dare to get angry when I see my Taoist companion being humiliated.
How pitiful~”
"But I just saw her clearly releasing a chilly air that penetrated people.
Could it be that he is recovering his cultivation? "
"Is it an illusion? Why didn't I see it?"
Duan Yingchao looked at the two people leaving and just chuckled lightly.
Then he lowered his head and looked at the arm that was frozen just now, and moved it briefly twice.
"Tsk, I really can't believe the rumors from the outside world. This Xia Ningyan is also a strong enemy."
That's right, Duan Yingchao just walked up to Lu Xuan deliberately and harassed him.
The purpose was to provoke Xia Ningyan to take action against herself, so as to take the opportunity to test the opponent's strength.
