393 If You Go Out Like This, You Will Be Beaten to Death
Faced with Ning Yao's "concern", Chu Linfeng was moved but refused.
He has no shortage of spirit stones, nor is he obsessed with them. Now all his precious time must be used to save the Tiancheng spirit world. He has no time to waste on someone as stubborn as Zhou Tianli.
Seeing Zhou Tianli blocking him again, Chu Linfeng sighed helplessly: "I advise you not to humiliate yourself."
Zhou Tianli laughed out loud as if he had heard a big joke: "Chu Linfeng, are you stupid? You are only in the Golden Core Stage, and I am already in the Nascent Soul Stage. Can't you tell the difference between a big king and a small king?"
Jiang Xin thought he was a rookie, so she kindly advised him, "You can't beat my fifth brother."
Zhou Tianli glanced at her, thinking that this was just a child's thick filter for his senior brother, and didn't take it seriously: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."
Jiang Xin puffed out her cheeks unhappily.
[My kindness is taken as an insult.] 】
[You will be beaten to death if you go out like this.] 】
Chu Linfeng deeply agreed.
Considering that the two grew up together and Zhou Tianli was raised by him, Chu Linfeng felt that since he was now tasked with protecting the Tiancheng spiritual world, it was also necessary for him to protect Zhou Tianli, the fool.
Seeing that it was still early, Chu Linfeng simply agreed to Zhou Tianli's request: "Okay, if you must be beaten, I will grant your wish."
Zhou Tianli showed a happy expression: "It's still uncertain who will fight whom! Let's go, see you in the duel arena!"
He lifted his robe, turned around and was about to leave, but he was unexpectedly held back by a force from behind and was unable to take a single step.
Zhou Tianli turned around in surprise, and was even more surprised to see that the person who was pulling his clothes was just a little girl with no cultivation, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xin chuckled: "You want to challenge my Fifth Senior Brother to a duel, how can you do it empty-handed? You should at least give my Fifth Senior Brother an appearance fee, right?"
Jiang Xin only charged 10,000 spirit stones before, and Chu Linfeng felt that he was not that cheap.
He was about to refuse, but Zhou Tianli, in order to show off his wealth, said first: "Then let's set a prize?"
Chu Linfeng suddenly remembered that Taoist Master Zhuyue only challenged others in the Demon Realm for the sake of the prize.
He was moved.
It is not shameful to duel with others for the sake of a prize and show your master's style.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Linfeng asked, looking quite expectant.
The Zhou family is also a hegemon in Zhongzhou City, and everyone in the family is a wealthy man. Although it is not clear how many good things are hidden in the other party's family treasury, due to his status, the things that Zhou Tianli took out as a prize must be of high quality.
Zhou Tianli thought for a moment and said, "How about a fusion stage secret treasure?"
Chu Linfeng, who had recently seen the methods of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, was very disappointed: "Only the Fusion Stage?"
Jiang Xin shook her head repeatedly: "Your Zhou family is not good enough."
Zhou Tianli didn't know where the two of them got the courage to look down on the Fusion Stage: "What do you mean by that expression? How many Fusion Stage masters are there in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm? How many Fusion Stage-level secret treasures do you have? I'm lucky enough to be able to use them as a prize, can you guys do that?"
Chu Linfeng didn't want to waste time with him, so he sighed and said reluctantly: "It's the Fusion Stage. We each contribute one item, and whoever wins gets the treasure."
"Okay, see you at the duel arena!" Zhou Tianli made a "please" gesture towards the direction of the duel arena, showing quite the heroic demeanor.
Unexpectedly, Chu Linfeng drew his sword on the spot: "No need to go through so much trouble, let's fight here."
Zhou Tianli suspected that he was stupid: "No fighting is allowed in Zhongzhou City. What if we are caught by the Law Enforcement Hall..."
Chu Linfeng signaled him not to worry: "The Law Enforcement Hall is owned by my family, they won't arrest me. And by the time the Law Enforcement Hall arrives, I would have defeated you long ago."
The first sentence would at most make Zhou Tianli call him shameless, while the second sentence was not very offensive but extremely insulting.
You can tolerate your uncle, but you can’t tolerate your aunt.
Zhou Tianli immediately took out a spear and distanced himself from Chu Linfeng.
The two men took up their positions on the street, spiritual energy surging around them, and the storm they created blew their clothes, bringing a whistling sound.
The crowd of onlookers quickly retreated to a safe area very experiencedly. The enthusiastic gambling shop owner put up a sign and shouted loudly: "Place your bets! Place your bets! No more waiting after the deadline! Hurry up!"
"I bet Master Zhou will win!"
"I bet Master Chu will win!"
"Betting on Master Zhou, he is in the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Young Master Chu has never lost a fight in Zhongzhou City! Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, I will blow Young Master Chu away!"
Jiang Xin was protected by his fellow brothers and retreated with the crowd.
She lay in Lin Yan's arms and quickly counted the spirit stones in her pocket. Due to her limited knowledge, she couldn't count them clearly, so she simply handed the bag of spirit stones to Lin Yan: "Second Brother, help me bet on Fifth Brother to win!"
"Okay." Lin Yan took Jiang Xin's bag of spirit stones and handed it to Ning Yao along with his own bag of spirit stones. "Big Brother, you have good physical skills. Please help us place a bet."
There were crowds of people around, and some even held jade communication cards to call their friends to come and watch the game and place bets.
When he encountered an opportunity to make money, Ning Yao unconsciously took out his bag of spirit stones.
Hearing Lin Yan's earnest words, Ning Yao asked expectantly, "Have you calculated who wins and who loses?"
Lin Yan: "No need to calculate, just follow Junior Sister and bet."
“Big Brother, please help me place a bet. I bet that Fifth Junior Brother will win.” Shen Muse was squeezed in the crowd and walked forward, his feet unable to touch the ground.
He threw his bag of spirit stones to Ning Yao. Seeing that Zhao Shi and Jiang Xiao were still in a daze, he hurriedly reminded them to take out their spirit stone bags, "Hurry, hurry, hurry. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"
Ning Yao held the spirit stone bags of his fellow junior brothers and sisters. Just by feeling the abundant spirit stone glow overflowing from the outer layer of these spirit stone bags, he deeply felt the gap in wealth between himself and his fellow junior brothers and sisters.
Fortunately, Qiongqi said that after he came back from the Qiongqi tribe, he would return all the spiritual stones and treasures that Ning Yao had spent on him before, making up for Ning Yao's poor heart.
With the help of the sword cultivator's nimble movements, Ning Yao passed through the bustling crowd like a fish and came to the temporary gambling house.
Seeing the amount of his bet, the gambling shop owner who was in charge of keeping accounts swallowed his saliva silently and said, "With such a large bet, wouldn't you consider placing another bet?"
Chu Linfeng and Zhou Tianli are both influential figures in Zhongzhou City. Even though Zhou Tianli is now at a higher level, many people bet on Chu Linfeng to win because of his previous undefeated record.
The odds of both sides are not much different, so the gambling house will not make much profit from winning this time.
Ning Yao bet so much, if he lost it would be fine, but if he won, the casino would have to pay out money.
Ning Yao is a soft-hearted swordsman who is used to being poor. Even if there is a rare opportunity to get rich quickly, he may not be able to seize it.
When asked this by the gambling house owner, he turned back hesitantly to look at his fellow junior brothers and sisters.
Amid the clamor, he heard Jiang Xin shouting at the top of her voice: "Brother, hold on! This is a gambling house with a lot of customers, they can't lose money!"
Ning Yao felt relieved and smiled at the gambling shop owner: "Let's bet like this."
The gambling house owner suddenly laughed in a way that was uglier than crying.
He has been in the gambling house for so many years and has met countless people. Can't he see who has a greater chance of winning this duel?
He originally thought that he could take advantage of Chu Linfeng's low cultivation level to trick people into betting on him to lose, so that the odds would be higher and he, as the person in charge, could get more commission.
Who knew that such a miraculous person would come, and that all the brothers and sisters put all their fortunes on the line.
Now, in order to retire early and achieve financial freedom, the shopkeeper prays wholeheartedly that Zhou Tianli wins.
