The Palace Master curled his lips and said, "Lingyin, go and bet five thousand taels on the heir of the Jin family to win!"

Lingyin whispered: "Palace Master, are you sure? What if I lose money..."

The Palace Master said: "The Hundred Flowers Palace has plenty of money and can afford the compensation!"

The Killer Alliance did not place any bets in this round.

It’s not that they don’t have money, but in their opinion, there is no need to bet on such a contest with such a huge disparity in strength, and there is no suspense at all.

Xiahou Qing doesn't place any bets, he is the banker.

"Who did Jin'er bet on?" he asked his adopted son Xie Jinnian.

Xie Jinnian said in a gentle voice: "The heir of the Jin family."

"Oh?" Xiahou Qing was a little surprised, "Why is it her?"

Xie Jinnian said: "She is a good doctor."

Xiahou Qing said: "It's not medical skills that are being competed on the stage."

Xie Jinnian smiled but said nothing.

Xiahou Qing glanced at him and said, "You are more willful than your brothers."

The second brother is the most gentle among the brothers. Everyone listens to him and gets along well with others.

His eccentricity only comes to light inadvertently.

For example, now.

It was clear that the Red Lotus Saint had a sure win, but he insisted on betting on the heir of the Jin family to win.

Ji Minglou and Madam Ji also placed their bets.

Madam Ji bet one thousand taels of silver on the Red Lotus Saint.

When she saw Ji Minglou betting one thousand taels of silver on the heir of the Jin family, her face turned green.

Still betting even though you know you will lose!

One thousand taels was just a small sum for Tian Yu Tang, but she just couldn't stand Ji Minglou's reluctance to give up on Yun Shuang.

Chu Feifeng knelt beside Madam Ji and poured her a cup of cold tea to help her cool down.

She was actually a little worried about her younger siblings.

She had been on the island longer than her siblings and had seen the Red Lotus Saint sparring with disciples from the Tianyu Hall. The Red Lotus Saint was indeed a rare martial arts prodigy among her peers.

At the observation deck next door, the Palace Master asked Lingyin to invite Granny Nie over.

Several people greeted Granny Nie.

Granny Nie sat down.

Lu Aotian said, "Ghost Granny, I saw you place a bet just now, how much did you bet?"

Granny Nie asked back, "How much did you bet?"

Lu Aotian waved his hand: "I don't have any money, so I just bet five hundred taels."

Lingyin asked curiously, "But when I went to place a bet for my palace master just now, I saw two hundred and fifty taels written behind your name. Who did you bet the remaining two hundred and fifty on?"

Lu Aotian cleared his throat: "Ahem, bet on the Red Lotus Saint."

Lingyin: “…”

Lingyin glared at Lu Aotian with contempt.

Xing'er ignored him and took back all the fried candied beans she had fried for him.

"Why--"

Lu Aotian tried to grab the candy beans, but came up empty-handed.

"Mother-in-law, how much did you bet?" Lingyin asked.

Granny Nie said calmly, "Not much, two thousand taels."

Lingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Including the deposit made by the Palace Master, the Second Young Master's wife has more than 7,000 taels..."

Granny Nie: "I'm betting on the Red Lotus Saint."

Lingyin: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao knew nothing about the bets placed by everyone.

The Red Lotus Saint Lady's posture when she appeared on the stage just now was so handsome and cool, and it was obvious at first glance that she had top-notch lightness skills.

I won't compete with her for the limelight.

You must understand Tian Ji's horse racing strategy and not compare your own weaknesses with your opponent's strengths.

Su Xiaoxiao put on her veil and walked up to the stage in an orderly manner from the steps at the back.

This move caused an uproar all around.

"This Jin family heir can't even do Qinggong!"

"You're also imitating the Red Lotus Saint by wearing a veil. Aren't you too ugly to be seen in public?"

"Nonsense, the Red Lotus Saint is clearly as beautiful as a fairy!"

"I was talking about her! I didn't mention the Red Lotus Saint! Of course I know that the Red Lotus Saint is beautiful! She is second only to the most beautiful woman, Xiahou Yanyu!"

"In my heart, Red Lotus Saint is the most beautiful woman on Qianshan Island."

The Red Lotus Saint looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was walking onto the stage, a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes: "Are you the heir of the Jin family?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The Red Lotus Saint had met Su Xiaoxiao before, at the full moon banquet at the City Lord's Mansion not long ago. At that time, Su Xiaoxiao was not wearing a veil.

But her temperament has not changed, and Su Xiaoxiao did not deliberately conceal her identity, so the news had already spread.

The Red Lotus Saint said sarcastically, "I thought, how could a little medical girl marry the second son of the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a half-smile: "From your tone, it seems that you are a little envious. Why? Do you also want to marry into Baihua Palace?"

The Red Lotus Saint said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense."

After that, her eyes fell on the soft whip on Su Xiaoxiao's waist, "I've seen this whip."

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the whip with her silver-gloved hand: "It's the whip that tore your skin and flesh. You recognize it."

When the saint left Baihua Palace, she did not take the whip with her.

The Red Lotus Saint's face darkened, she raised her sword and said, "Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!"

“Wait!”

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and made a stop gesture.

The Red Lotus Saint looked at her with a frown.

Su Xiaoxiao turned and looked at the four elders of the City Lord's Mansion in front of the arena: "Excuse me, can I use any weapons in the arena?"

Elder Li: "Yes."

"Where are the hidden weapons?"

"Can."

"Where's the poison?"

"Can."

"Where's the Gu?"

"Also!"

"Where's the rat?"

"……Can!"

Elder Li could hardly hold it anymore. What a mess!

"Anything you can bring on stage is fine!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked towards the viewing platform of Baihua Palace: "Dad!"

Wei Xu stood up quietly.

Elder Li: “……!!”

Elder Li took a deep breath and suppressed his temper: "You can't bring anyone up there!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky: "Oh."

The Red Lotus Saint laughed sarcastically: "Since you have so little confidence in yourself, why don't I give you three moves?"

Su Xiaoxiao's expression became serious: "You said it, don't regret it!"

The Red Lotus Saint was stunned.

This girl changes her expression quite quickly...

But it doesn't matter. This girl doesn't even know Qinggong, and she has no internal strength. Let alone three moves, she can't win even if she makes ten moves! The gong sounded, and the competition began.

"The first move!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised the whip in her hand and swung it towards the Red Lotus Saint with a crackling sound.

"This is a good start."

A disciple who was watching the fight below said.

Another disciple asked, "Is she really that capable?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Red Lotus Saint easily avoid it.

The Red Lotus Saint said disdainfully: "Fancy moves and embroidered legs."

"The second move!"

Su Xiaoxiao swung the whip even more fiercely than before.

However, she still didn't even touch the corner of the Red Lotus Saint's clothes.

The Red Lotus Saint was like a lithe swallow, and she was the clumsy duck. No matter how hard she tried, she could not hurt the Red Lotus Saint at all.

Her third whip finally blocked the Red Lotus Saint's retreat, leaving her with no escape.

But so what?

The Red Lotus Saint sneered and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's whip: "The heir of the Jin family, the young lady of the Hundred Flowers Palace, is this all you can do? You've made me lose interest in playing. Well, I'll just send you off!"

After she said that, she pulled Su Xiaoxiao over with the whip.

With the long sword in her other hand, she stabbed Su Xiaoxiao's stomach fiercely!
