Chapter 97 Have you heard of the story of lying on the ice to catch carp?



Shangguan Qingwan continued, "My brother's ball skills are extraordinary. This kind of small competition is a piece of cake for him. My brother has even competed as a male Cuju player in the Great Chu!"

Zhai Jingxuan's eyes lit up again.

Shangguan Qingwan's words were powerful. "He ranks fifteenth in the entire Xuanyuan Continent. I'm not trying to flatter him, but this is definitely not his full potential."

"But we have only played against fourteen teams so far."

Zhai Jingxuan turned her head silently and glanced at Shangguan Chengjing on the field.

The imagination is somewhat disillusioned.

"My eldest brother is not only an exceptional ball player, but also has a very kind heart. When he learned that the Xiongnu next door had destroyed their country, he deliberately lost a game to them, bringing warmth to the desperate Xiongnu."

"On my father's 30th birthday, he took our family to watch my eldest brother's Cuju match. He ended up getting hit by 40 balls. When the match was over, my father sent soldiers to rescue him..."

Shangguan Qingwan pointed at Shangguan Chengjing and said to Zhai Jingxuan, "This is the Sleeping Dragon of the Cuju world."

He pointed at Takasaki and said, "This is the phoenix of the Cuju world."

Zhai Jingxuan: …

Zhai Jingxuan frowned, struggling with her words, and seemed to have not yet completely given up. "Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm not good at Cuju, as long as I have good character."

Shangguan Qingwan sighed and winked at Shangguan Bailin, who then took over, "Sister Zhai, you're right. My eldest brother is a man of noble character, loyal, filial, chaste, and righteous character."

"Have you heard of the story of 'lying on the ice to catch carp'?"

Zhai Jingxuan exclaimed, "Your elder brother won't follow Wang Xiang's example..."

"Ah no no no...my eldest brother is the one who eats the carp!"

"When my eldest brother was Qi You's age, he was sick and insisted that my father go to the ice in the middle of winter to imitate him and lie on the ice to catch carp."

"Then what?"

"The 'illness' has become more serious..."

Zhai Jingxuan's eyebrows were twisted into a knot.

Does Shangguan Bailin mean that Shangguan Chengjing is unfilial?

Shangguan Bailin asked again, "Do you know the 'Jingqi friendship'?"

"What is 'Jingqi's friendship'?"

"Let me tell you slowly..."

"A few years ago, my eldest brother's good friend Gao Qi made a new robe with a beautiful pattern. But my eldest brother criticized it so much that Gao Qi changed the robe and tore it up on the spot. But the next day, my eldest brother came back wearing a robe with the same pattern!"

"Consider it a 'friend of Jingqi'!"

Zhai Jingxuan blinked. Is this unfair?

Shangguan Bailin observed Zhai Jingxuan's expression and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Zhai Jingxuan was silent for a moment, then murmured softly, "As long as she looks good... As long as she looks good..."

Shangguan Ersansiwu: ...

Shangguan Qiyou suddenly stood up and left.

After a while, Shangguan Qiyou's shouting came from the back of the viewing area, "Buy big and leave, buy big and leave..."

"The Blue Team's odds are 3 to 1, and the Red Team's odds are 10 to 1..."

"The more you press, the more you gain..."

Shangguan Qingwan said to Zhai Jingxuan, "Look, there's betting over there. Come with me and take a look!"

Zhai Jingxuan also wanted to see Shangguan Chengjing's handsome and extraordinary demeanor, but she was embarrassed to refuse Shangguan Qingwan's invitation, and... she also wanted to see the excitement.

So I agreed.

Shangguan Qingwan held Shangguan Qingyue's hand and walked over together.

There were already a lot of people surrounding Shangguan Qiyou.

There was also a lot of silver and money piled on the table in front of him.

Shangguan Qiyou saw them coming and waved to Zhai Jingxuan, "Sister Zhai, come here!"

Seeing this, the others made way for a path.

Everyone holding their betting tickets discussed, "The blue team has already scored a goal. I think the blue team will win!"

"The Blue Team is the favorite for this event, and I also bought the Blue Team."

Shangguan Qingwan saw this and took out a bag of silver and threw it on the table. "I just feel that the blue team can't win. I want to bet on the red team."

The people next to her were still trying to persuade her, "Little girl, don't act on impulse."

Shangguan Qingwan remained silent and made up her mind to bet on Shangguan Chengjing to lose.

It didn't matter that she bought it, but some people who recognized her identity began to hesitate. Her own sister was so sure that the blue team would lose, did she get some inside information?

One of them changed his mind first, "Hey, well, I just bought the wrong one. I want to change it. I'm betting on the red team to win!"

The others followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, the red team inexplicably became the favorite, while there were very few people who could beat the blue team.

Shangguan Qiyou asked, "Sister Zhai, do you want to place a bet?"

Zhai Jingxuan hesitated. Seeing that no one was optimistic about Shangguan Chengjing, she felt uneasy. But Shangguan Chengjing was the person she had secretly loved for a long time. Even if no one was optimistic about him, she would still support him!

Zhai Jingxuan made up her mind, took out the money and bet on the blue team.

After making the bet, she still didn't forget to comfort herself. If she won, with such high odds, she would make a fortune!

At this time, a tender little white hand slowly reached out to the table and placed a small ingot of silver on the red team.

【I want to buy the red team too! 】

Zhai Jingxuan looked at it funny, squatted down and looked at Shangguan Qingyue at eye level, and said with a smile, "Little sister, are you going to bet on your big brother to lose? Your big brother will be heartbroken if he knows... woo woo"

Zhai Jingxuan pretended to cry to amuse the little guy, but when the little guy heard it, he took out another ingot of silver from his pocket and slammed it on the table without hesitation!

【He will lose! 】

Once the elder brother loses, Zhai Jingxuan's love for him will be completely shattered, because he made her lose money!

Men are nothing in front of money!

Several people thought happily, and then returned to their original positions. Shangguan Qingyue was held on Shangguan Qingwan's lap. Looking at the brave and valiant Shangguan Chengjing in the arena, he began to use his power...

On the court, Gao Qi passed the ball to Shangguan Chengjing, "Chengjing, catch it!"

Shangguan Chengjing was only a few steps away from the red team's goal at this time, and most of the red team's players had not arrived yet, so this ball was bound to go in!

Seeing this, Yu Xi happily said to Shangguan Shu, "It seems that the eldest master has learned his lesson after the last incident and his ball skills have really improved!"

Shangguan Shu smiled noncommittally, and the next second—

[Will my big brother fall down? ]

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Chengjing jumped forward and fell hard with a bang.

After a long silence in the viewing area, thunderous applause suddenly broke out...

"Good! Good fall!"

"Miss Qingwan is truly a prophet. We were almost fooled by Shangguan Chengjing's appearance!"

"Hey, you're not Shangguan Chengjing's old Cuju fan. Shangguan Chengjing always loses every time he plays a game. I didn't expect that he would lose even to a makeshift amateur Cuju team this time!"

Shangguan Qingyue stretched Zhai Jingxuan's clothes and pointed at her. [Look, look, I said he would lose, right?]

Although she couldn't hear what she was thinking, Zhai Jingxuan still understood what she meant and began to regret it.

Inside the field, Gao Qi went over to help Shangguan Chengjing, "Chengjing, are you okay?"

Shangguan Chengjing rubbed his chin, he had just hit his chin.

Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Nothing."

Gao Qi then angrily asked, "What do these people mean? Why are they so happy that you threw them?"
