Chapter 187 Zhang Feifei: I'm all in
Yao Xuan should bear at least half the responsibility for Xiao Huo's tragedy today.
If Yao Xuan hadn't absorbed his spiritual energy for three years, Xiao Huo wouldn't have ended up like this. After all, Xiao Huo's talent for cultivation was actually very strong. If he had been allowed to practice normally, he would probably have been able to reach the Golden Core stage by now.
With Xiao Huo's talent, if he develops normally, he will have no problem becoming the son-in-law of the Shangguan family.
Of course, we can't think of this completely this way. After all, the Shangguan family has good character. Moreover, considering the current size of the Shangguan family, Xiao Huo will most likely become a son-in-law.
It's not easy to be a son-in-law. If things go normally, you may not have to endure the broken engagement, but you may have to endure all kinds of insults after marriage.
Zhang Feifei said, "Brother Xiao, I heard about Shangguan Yanran when I was in the Spirit Sword Sect. She is very powerful and has a great reputation in the Qinglan Sect. It is said that she is a strong contender for the future leader of the Qinglan Sect."
When Zhang Feifei was in Lingjian Sect, because both Lingjian Sect and Qinglan Sect were seventh-grade sects, there were frequent exchanges between the two sects. At that time, he had heard of Shangguan Yanran's name.
Shangguan Yanran's status in Qinglan Sect is basically equivalent to that of Ning Feng and the inner sect's number one Gao Yang in Lingjian Sect, and her strength is quite impressive.
Zhang Feifei looked at Ning Feng: "Brother Ning, I remember you fought with Shangguan Yanran before, right?"
Ning Feng said: "She once competed with me in swordplay, but her foundation was superficial and she was not a real first-class master. I defeated her with three sword strikes back then, but I am not sure now."
Ning Feng had fought with Shangguan Yanran before, but in Ning Feng's eyes, Shangguan Yanran's strength was average. Although they were both sword practitioners, Ning Feng felt that when he fought with her before, he felt that her foundation was weak and she was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She was really no match for top-notch masters like Gao Yang.
When Ning Feng heard that Qinglan Sect intended to train her to be the next Sect Master, Ning Feng shook his head in his heart and felt that Qinglan Sect was probably useless. If Shangguan Yanran's strength was placed in Lingjian Sect, she might not even be able to enter the top 20 of the inner gate.
But many years have passed now, and Ning Feng doesn't know how strong Shangguan Yanran is now. It's not easy for Ning Feng to make a random comment. After all, what if she has laid a solid foundation now?
However, with Ning Feng's current strength, if Shangguan Yanran faces him again, she couldn't block three swords back then, and now she may not even be able to block one sword.
After all, he has now completed the Tiancan Broken Sword. He can directly use the Five Internal Organs Shattering Sword Technique. Shangguan Yanran will take it with her head? Ning Feng said, "Brother Xiao, how confident are you in fighting Shangguan Yanran this time?"
Ning Feng was very curious about the strength of this Senior Brother Xiao Huo.
He was a relatively late disciple to join the Daluo Sect, and after joining, he was taught advanced martial arts such as the Twin Sacred Bodies and the Heavenly Broken Sword by his master.
After he joined the sect, he became more obsessed with studying swordsmanship and the holy body. Except for Zhang Feifei, who he was more familiar with, he was actually not very clear about the strength of other senior brothers in the Daluo Sect.
The strength of Senior Brother Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming was revealed when they entered the Ancient Blood Domain before, and he had seen it before, but he had never seen Senior Brother Chen and this Senior Brother Xiao take action.
One of these two senior brothers is the second senior brother of the sect, and the other is the third senior brother. They both entered Daluo Sect earlier, but seemed to be extremely mysterious and never showed their true colors. On weekdays, they are rarely seen in Daluo Sect. They have not revealed any strength since entering the Ancient Blood Domain.
It is mysterious and difficult to fathom.
Although Ning Feng could sense that the two of them were not at a high level, the methods of the master of Daluo Sect were mysterious and unpredictable. It was possible that these two had cultivated some special magical powers.
What if someone's strength is not judged based on his realm? After all, Master himself is an incredible being who can destroy a god with his Nascent Soul.
In an instant, everyone looked at Xiao Huo, they were also curious.
The three-year agreement has caused a lot of controversy, and Xiao Huo should have a rough idea of his chances of winning.
Xiao Huo said: "I have inherited the master's legacy, and what I have learned and practiced is ten thousand times better than the Qinglan Sect's legacy. Don't worry, I will definitely win this time and will not bring shame to the sect."
Xiao Huo is still very confident in himself. He has many trump cards. Even if Shangguan Yanran is also a golden elixir, Xiao Huo will not be afraid.
While Master Lu Yuan and his apprentice were chatting upstairs, some people downstairs were also discussing the three-year agreement.
"Sister, Qinglan City has been really busy recently. Many people have come to see the three-year agreement. Who do you think will win the three-year agreement between the kid from the Xiao family and Sister Shangguan?"
"Nonsense, of course it's Senior Sister Shangguan. Senior Sister Shangguan's strength has been ranked first in the inner sect of our Qinglan Sect for three consecutive years. Even if the kid from the Xiao family has been practicing since his mother's womb, he can't be a match for Senior Sister Shangguan."
"But I heard from the grapevine that the guy from the Xiao family seems to have recovered his talent. I heard that he originally had a high talent for cultivation, but later some accidents caused him to become useless. Now that his talent has been restored, maybe he can catch up in three years?"
"That's impossible. In addition to her own hard work, Senior Sister Shangguan also has the Qinglan Sect's leader and elders personally training her. In addition, she also has the support of the Alchemist Alliance. How can Xiao Huo compare to all these resources?"
"What you said makes sense. By the way, I heard that an elder from Wanmiao Tower has opened a betting market. Should we go and place a bet?"
"Sure. How much do you want to bet?"
"I was originally going to bet 1,000 spirit stones, but after listening to Senior Sister's analysis, I think Senior Sister Shangguan is guaranteed to win, so why not take the free money? I'll bet it all."
…
Zhang Feifei looked at the figures chatting and leaving downstairs.
"Those two are disciples of the Qinglan Sect. They seem to have great confidence in Shangguan Yanran."
Xiao Huo: "That's normal. After all, what they said is not wrong. The power behind Shangguan Yanran is indeed not small."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Shangguan family now holds a very high status and almost manages the entire Daqian Alchemist Alliance, and is the general person in charge here.
As the granddaughter of Shangguan Huai, Shangguan Yanran naturally has access to resources that are not comparable to those of ordinary people. She can even eat medicinal pills as a meal, not to mention the strong support of Qinglan Sect's resources. How could the disciples of Qinglan Sect not support her?
Zhang Feifei said, "I heard from them that Qinglan City Wanmiao Tower is opening for sale. Master, should we go and take a look and support Senior Brother Xiao?"
Lu Yuan stood up: "Go and take a look."
Since he has nothing to do anyway, he might as well check out the odds over there. Maybe he can make a lot of money.
The Daluo Sect's group arrived at the Wanmiao Tower.
Wanmiaolou itself is a gambling house, and the owner behind it is the Qinglan Sect. It is said that there is also the shadow of the Alchemist Alliance, so it has a very deep foundation and a large scale.
Wan Miao Lou has been extremely busy recently. Shangguan Yanran's three-year agreement has been widely circulated, and Wan Miao Lou has opened for business, so many people have come to place their bets.
"Shangguan Yanran pays one for one, and Xiao Huo pays ten for one?"
"The odds are so different? Which bastard made this bet? Isn't this looking down on people?"
Zhang Feifei looked at the outrageous odds and felt that it was abstract. The odds were so different. Do you really think that my Senior Brother Xiao has no chance of winning? Zhang Feifei took out the 10,000 spirit stones he had earned from his master after completing the alchemy task. In addition, there were 100,000 spirit stones awarded by Emperor Qian after refining medicine in the Daqian Palace.
Zhang Feifei said: "I bet on Xiao Huo, 110,000 spirit stones!"
Swish, swish, swish! In an instant, countless eyes focused on Zhang Feifei.
Confusion, shock, disbelief, all kinds of complicated looks.
Some even shook their heads and said, "Divine gold."
