Chapter 693 Raising the Stakes



Looking at Boss Bai who appeared again, Hong Qing crossed her arms and sneered coldly, "You're just trying to overturn the table, aren't you?"

As he finished speaking, the corners of his lips became sharp and dangerous.

Lu Guanshu, who was standing by, also reminded them, "This is the X Forum. Just because they don't show up doesn't mean they can just go on a killing spree here."

We just give them some time and let them solve it themselves.

If they still want to cause trouble, we will not be afraid of them given the strength of the forum.

This is actually a reference to Boss Bai.

Hearing this, Boss Bai led his men back a few steps, put away his tense demeanor, and said with a held breath, "I want another fight."

"Hehe, we are not here to play house with you, so why do you have the right to compete just like that?" Hong Qing raised her eyebrows. At this moment, she was in absolute command and was not afraid of him at all.

"I can increase the stakes. You can have whatever you want." Boss Bai refused to give in, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Hong Qing rolled her eyes and thought to herself that she should just fight, since she wasn't the one in the wrong anyway.

But before he could release the poison in his hand, he heard Ye Lan's voice slowly sounding from the side.

"Is it okay to take your life?"

Your life.

After these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

No one expected that a person who looked peaceful and cold like a banished immortal would say such bloody and violent words.

Boss Bai immediately shifted his gaze to her, his eyes as sharp as a venomous snake, staring at her and saying, "If you want my life, that four-eyed frog is not qualified, unless..."

He paused mid-sentence, looked at Ye Lan's exquisite and flawless face that looked not like that of an ordinary person, licked his lips and said, "You followed me."

If he was just attracted to Ye Lan's beauty before, now he was really attracted to her.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also has extraordinary abilities, making her a popular figure wherever she goes.

Only chips like this are worth the risk.

However, this was a joke in the eyes of the people on the opposite side.

"Bah, what are you dreaming about? How dare you think about her? I think you are tired of living." Hong Qing simply folded her hands and watched the fun.

Anyway, the three handsome guys around me probably want to hack people.

Sure enough, not only Xiao Yunting had a cold expression, but Xie Chenan and Wu Heng also stepped forward and prepared to attack.

But before taking action, Ye Lan spoke up and agreed.

"Okay, deal."

Boss Bai was overjoyed and immediately said, "How about we compete in the last metaphysics test and decide the winner in one round?"

He is 100% sure of this.

Hearing this, Ye Lan nodded calmly, "Okay."

The two groups returned to the table again.

This time, the old man in Tang suit finally came out.

He was thin and small, with a head full of white hair like the Medical Immortal. He was in high spirits, but his face had a gloomy and evil look, and he looked a bit monkey-like.

"Which Taoist fellow wants to spar with me? If we get along well, I will show mercy." He laughed strangely twice, and his shrewd little eyes greedily swept over Hong Qing and others.

It doesn't seem like he's looking at people, it's more like he's looking at food.

"What are you looking at, you old pervert? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out." Hong Qing was particularly sensitive and disgusted by this kind of gaze. She couldn't help but shook her sleeves, and a thumb-sized bamboo green snake flew out.

The Bamboo Leaf Green Snake is highly poisonous, small and agile, and can be killed in one blow by a close-range attack when it is caught off guard.

Although the old man looked old, he moved very quickly. The moment the venomous snake pounced on him, he raised his hand and pinched it directly at the seven-inch mark.

"Well, it's of good quality, a good thing." He looked at it for a while, suddenly tore the poisonous snake in half, took out the gallbladder inside, and swallowed it with his tongue.

The poisonous snake was still twitching and bleeding, but he looked very satisfied.

The scene is so weird and cruel that it makes people's hair stand on end.

"Damn, he's a pervert." The electric eel rubbed his goosebumps and hid behind his brothers in fear. The thought of being tortured by such a person would rather he died than to hit his head against a wall.

Hong Qing calmed down at this moment. She frowned as she looked at the dead little snake on the ground and said nothing more.

She realized that compared to the super virus before, this old man seemed to be more dangerous.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Boss Bai finally showed a look of satisfaction at having won back a game. "Who's going to play in the last round?"

He looked around and felt that Wu Heng was the one who looked most like a person from the Xuanmen sect.

But he's just a little kid, nothing to be afraid of.

Although metaphysics, like spiritual practice, requires talent, acquired efforts are also important. Besides, he has great confidence in the old man's ability.

At this moment, a figure stood out from the crowd and slowly walked forward.

Boss Bai glanced over casually and immediately jumped up from his chair in shock.

"Why is it you again?!"

Ye Lan stood there calmly, and responded, "There's no rule against repeating the competition."

So it's not a foul.

Boss Bai: “…”

Is this the key?

Shouldn’t the key be that he has too many skills that are too amazing?

"You even dabble in metaphysics?"

Ye Lan nodded, "I understand a little bit."

"Haha." Boss Bai laughed dryly twice, looked at the old man beside him, and said with hope: "Master, it should be okay, right?"

The latter narrowed his triangular eyes and smiled sinisterly: "Do you think there is anything wrong with me?"

Boss Bai shrank back his neck when he was looked at, and was obviously a little intimidated by him. "Then I'll rely on you, Taoist Priest."

"Hmm." The old man only murmured a low response, showing no sign of respect. Instead, he turned and looked at Ye Lan with great interest. "Young lady, you are indeed a person of wisdom. Generally, when one's spiritual sense is opened, one learns things faster than others. But the mystical arts are not like other arts. Quality is more important than quantity. You are so indecisive that you are destined not to make much progress in the mystical arts."

What he said is true and applies to most ordinary people.

However, he did not know at this time that Ye Lan in front of him was not an ordinary person.

The most direct and simplest metaphysical competition is fortune-telling.

As the saying goes, seeing the handwriting is like seeing the person. The direction of a person's handwriting can reveal his personality and many aspects of his behavior. Therefore, there are many calligraphy classes in modern cities, and many people also want to practice good handwriting to leave a good impression on others.

But advanced Taoist masters can find objects, answer questions and even tell fortunes with just one word.

"Little girl, I won't bully you. As long as you can figure out my life story, you win." The old man took out a tortoise shell from his cloth pocket, put it in his hand, and rubbed it while saying.

Ye Lan immediately felt that there was a barrier around the old man, and the energy fluctuations were very strong. It was obvious that he had made preparations in advance using the turtle.

Although this man is arrogant, he is very cautious in his actions.

"Yeah, mine too." Ye Lan accepted the request without any intention of taking advantage of the other party.

The old man sneered softly, as if mocking her for not knowing her own limitations, but he didn't refuse. "Then let's get started."

The venue staff provided pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

The old man first took a pen and wrote a word on an A4-sized piece of rice paper.

A few seconds later, Ye Lan took the paper and saw that the ink on it was not dry yet, and there was a word "Xian" written on it.

The mountain character protrudes out and breaks through the sky, representing the other party's great ambition.
