Chapter 156 Senior Brother Covers the Back
The final winner of the Jindan group was Song Hui.
Everyone said that this was just right.
It’s impossible that any competition that the people from the Xiaoyao Sect participate in will always bring home the first place. That would be weird.
Song Hui's victory made these hesitant and wavering people make a decision immediately.
They took a gamble.
This Nascent Soul Group has the chief disciples from the three major sects. Even if the people from the Xiaoyao Sect have super powers, they can never get first place.
Nan Xiao is bound to lose this time.
······
Ye Wumian won the third place prize, and everyone started walking towards their accommodation.
Seeing that there were not many people on the road, Lu Huai asked the doubts that had been buried in his heart.
He said, "Xiaoxiao, how do you know these people won't agree? If they agree, won't we lose a lot?"
Nan Xiao placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking his head as he explained, "First, they were just cheated yesterday, and they're on high alert right now. Seventy percent of them won't agree. Second, even if some of them have a gambler's mentality, I can just say I don't want to play anymore. As long as the result of the game isn't known, it won't count as cheating."
She chuckled and continued, "If Third Senior Brother takes first place, those people will just be thankful that they were smart and clear-headed enough not to fall for my trick. Of course, we won't lose anything, so that's a good thing. On the other hand, if Third Senior Brother doesn't take first place, at least most of them will regret it. At that point, if I suggest I play one last game with them, at least two-thirds of them will agree."
"Do you understand now?"
Lu Huai nodded, not quite understanding: "I see."
Qiao Yue smiled. It was only a matter of time before her junior brother, with his simple nature, would be led astray by her junior sister.
Ye Wumian listened to their conversation and probably understood. He frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Junior Sister, you can question Fourth Junior Brother, but you can't question my strength. If it weren't for that kid surnamed Song's tricks, I might not have lost."
Su Xun: “???”
He didn't say anything, so why are you still dragging him down? This is too much.
So, Su Xun, who was already unhappy, retorted on the spot: "Third Brother, what you said is wrong. Anyone with a little bit of eyes can see through Song Hui's little tricks. Don't blame the road for your shortcomings."
"You're so good, you're ranked sixth?"
"Aren't you also the third child?"
“········”
The two immediately started arguing.
Qiao Yue and the other two looked at each other, then quickly left.
These two people have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, but they can make up the next day. They have become accustomed to it.
······
Nan Xiao returned to the yard where he lived and went straight to Jiang Xia's house.
Before she could reach out to knock on the door, it creaked and slowly opened from the inside, as if it knew there was someone outside.
Jiang Xia stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of smile between his pretty eyebrows.
His eyes fell on the fallen leaves above Nan Xiao's head. He picked them up for her and placed them in her palm.
He said softly, "Tell me, Junior Sister, what's the matter?"
No one comes to visit you for no reason. He knows his junior sister quite well.
Nan Xiao didn't even look at the fallen leaves. He just rubbed them, threw them back, and left.
She skillfully grabbed one of Jiang Xia's arms and shook it.
With a flattering smile, he began to explain his purpose: "Big Brother, I made a bet with others that you must be the first. If you can't take first place, I will lose a lot of spirit stones... Big Brother, you must be reluctant..."
Jiang Xia let out a light "tsk" sound, his eyes full of helplessness, and his head fell directly on Nan Xiao's forehead, interrupting her spell.
"Speak nicely..."
"Oh..." Nan Xiao rubbed the place where he was hit, then raised his head and chest and said confidently: "I came here to tell my eldest brother that tomorrow's first place will be yours, whether you want it or not."
"If you cause me to lose spirit stones, then Big Brother must compensate me double."
Jiang Xia: “???”
Did he hear correctly? Does this make sense?
Jiang Xia rubbed his brows and said earnestly, "Junior Sister, you have to be reasonable. No one can say for sure about this kind of thing."
His goal is to be number one. But the goal is one thing and the result is another; the two cannot be confused.
Nan Xiao turned his head away, looking like he was being unreasonable.
"Then I don't care."
Jiang Xia chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, it's not enough to take first place. It's getting late, let's go back."
As he spoke, he began to push people out.
Let’s go quickly, Senior Brother can’t take it anymore.
When Nan Xiao turned around again, the door closed from the inside with a bang.
You move really fast.
She stared at the door, blinked, and said loudly, "Big Brother, then it's settled."
After saying that, he skipped away, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
If the senior brother wins, she makes money. If the senior brother loses, the senior brother covers the loss, hehe... As for whether the senior brother loses or not, she is still a child, and this is not something she should think about. Isn't the senior brother there to cover the loss?
Jiang Xia shook his head helplessly and muttered, "The older the little girl gets, the more unreasonable she becomes."
Having said that, how could he let his junior sister down?
After all, he was once a person who had taken half a step towards the Divine Transformation Realm. It was just that his cultivation had regressed, not his memory. Everything he had learned and practiced was in his mind, so it was no problem for him to fight against several people of the same age.
······
Today is the last individual competition and also the one that everyone is most looking forward to.
The stands were packed with people. Nan Xiao took a quick look and saw quite a few new faces.
As soon as Nan Xiao entered, many people surrounded her. Thanks to several of her senior brothers who helped to hold them back.
Everyone was talking at once:
"Nan Xiao, was what you said yesterday true? Are you still going to play today?"
"I brought two fellow disciples here today. Can we play together? Do you have that many spirit stones?"
“I also brought two friends here…”
"That's right, don't lose then. You don't have that many spirit stones."
“········”
Nan Xiao's ears hurt from the messy noise.
She pulled out a homemade megaphone and said, "Be quiet and listen to me."
The loudspeaker was quite powerful. The crowd who had been chattering just now suddenly became quiet.
Nan Xiao smoothed her hair, which had become messy from being jostled. Looking around, she saw a sea of people. She patted the small table beside her and said loudly, "As usual, those who want to play need to line up and register their names. The number of spots is limited, so it's first come, first served."
"But let me be frank first."
"If anyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble or act rashly, I advise you to think carefully now. I'm sure many of you already know me and know that I don't have many hobbies except recording stones. If I accidentally record your ugly and hideous appearances and send them to your fellow disciples, masters, and elders, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."
"Of course, if you think this doesn't matter, then I don't care either. I'm a narrow-minded person, I will just quietly remember your name and find a chance to snatch it back."
