As things are unfolding outside, just like in the original story, things are now progressing to the point where they're betting on the old lady's life.
As Yu Shuang raised her hand, a golden light shattered the dream, and her consciousness took control of the aged body.
At this moment, Ruan Siyao confidently approached the old lady's bedside.
With just one glance, she determined that Madam Yu was possessed by an evil spirit, and she had a way to resolve it.
Master Zhang's eyelids twitched:
This little girl is indeed quite capable.
Suddenly his gaze darkened, and something slipped from the wide sleeve of his Taoist robe into his hand.
Feeling completely reassured, he thought disdainfully:
How much skill can a mere young girl like her possess? Trying to climb over him to the top won't be so easy!!
This is no longer a simple competition; it's a matter of face and dignity.
He couldn't just stand by and watch this little girl cure the old lady before him.
Even if you do something immoral, it's something that can be redeemed and is harmless.
Ruan Siyao had a treatment plan in mind, and gave Master Zhang a meaningful look.
"I agreed to go first. Master Zhang, don't regret it later."
Master Zhang glanced at her calmly and gave a disdainful snort:
"Let's begin."
As he spoke, his hands, hidden in his wide sleeves, began to make hand seals, stirring up trouble.
A faint wisp of black energy approached the bed from a very hidden corner.
Aside from the caster himself, only Ruan Siyao, an expert, could see the black aura at the scene, and she cursed under her breath:
Shameless!
The old scoundrel is using underhanded tactics behind the scenes, and it's best not to expose this directly, since a bunch of foolish mortals wouldn't believe her so easily.
Arguing about it would be a waste of time.
Only strength can prove them wrong.
This is a challenge for her, but also a good opportunity to hone her skills.
Ruan Siyao's expression grew increasingly serious.
However, before she could make a move, something unbelievable happened.
Just as the black mist touched the old man on the bed from the hidden corner, it inexplicably vanished without a trace.
At the same time, the person on the bed sat up abruptly.
It was as if it had risen from the dead, giving everyone a real fright.
"Ahhh!!"
"Oh my god!!"
The object in Master Zhang's hand also shattered with a "bang".
The shards cut his palm, causing blood to seep out continuously. He also tasted a metallic sweetness in his throat, but out of embarrassment, he forced himself to swallow it.
He soon looked pained, not because of the injury on his hand, but because of the precious treasure he had finally acquired.
He glanced at Ruan Siyao with a serious expression.
The blame was automatically shifted onto Ruan Siyao, a fellow traveler.
I underestimated you!
Apart from this girl, he couldn't find another person in the arena with such great ability to break his secret technique in an instant.
Ruan Siyao was also completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events: ? ? ?
She hasn't done anything yet.
How did that old man surnamed Zhang get backfired by his own magic?
Meeting Master Zhang's resentful gaze, she innocently shrugged:
"It wasn't me..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Old Zhang's expression change, and he stared in astonishment at what was behind him.
Ruan Siyao also heard the noise behind her, and with a sense of alarm, she turned around abruptly and simultaneously created a safe distance.
The old lady on the bed had already nimbly gotten out of bed, grabbed a handful of canes, and was angrily giving her a slap on the head.
"I'll show you how you can gamble with my life."
Ruan Siyao remained calm, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and dodged the attack, a confident smile playing on her lips.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, she has become a completely different person. Although she hasn't been cultivating for long, she is still very confident despite being just an ordinary old lady...
"bump!!"
Ruan Siyao was hit on the forehead with a stick, and the pain struck her.
What the hell!!
Her face was filled with disbelief.
I definitely dodged it! Did I encounter a ghost?!
Before he could even think, he was subjected to a barrage of blows from the old lady.
"Bang bang bang..." "I'll let you gamble..."
Ruan Siyao was horrified to discover that she was completely powerless to resist and could only be beaten until she ran away with her head in her hands.
A feeling of inexplicable grievance arose:
"The bet involves two people, you can't just bet on me, can you?"
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, he felt a lightness on his body and was spared the beating.
The scene before him was too dramatic. Before Old Zhang could react, a stick mark flashed before his eyes.
"Ouch!!"
Old Zhang let out a miserable scream.
