Chapter 152 Make a Bet
The stands are for people to watch the game. If Nan Xiao doesn't leave, they have no right to drive him away.
But with Nan Xiao sitting beside them, they couldn't have a passionate discussion.
They thought, as long as they all tacitly ignored her, would she still have the nerve to stay here?
Obviously, they still underestimated Nan Xiao's thick skin.
The top ten to six contestants were decided one after another. Nan Xiao not only did not leave, but also chatted enthusiastically with the people around her, even though no one paid any attention to her.
It’s now the draw for the top five, with one person receiving a bye.
Lu Huai drew the junior disciple of the Four Phases Sect, Li Buyan faced Ye Lingling, and Chen Chaochao was a bye.
Nan Xiao held his chin with both hands and said with emotion: "Look at this person's luck, it's really good."
The first to start were Li Buyan and Ye Lingling, both of whom were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Li Buyan's sword moves were fierce, while Ye Lingling's sword moves were exquisite. After the two exchanged more than ten rounds, Li Buyan seized a flaw in her and won with a single strike.
Elder Qian announced, "Spirit Beast Sect's Li Buyan wins."
He put away his spirit sword, clasped his fists and said, "Senior Sister Ye, I appreciate your kindness."
Ye Lingling also returned the greeting.
The second match was between Lu Huai and the junior fellow from the Four Phases Sect.
The two men stood facing each other on the stage and attacked almost at the same time. Their figures were as fast as lightning. If it weren't for the sparks caused by the friction when their spiritual swords intersected, the crowd would probably not be able to see their figures clearly.
Both of these swords focus on speed, and now it’s a competition to see who is faster.
The two figures kept alternating, and Lu Huai's eyes became stern. He sped up again and attacked the junior brother of the Four Phases Sect.
The junior brother of the Four Phases Sect's reaction speed was not slow either, but he was still slightly inferior. After being at a disadvantage with one move, he had already lost the chance to counterattack. Lu Huai seized the opportunity and broke his body movement with one sword.
Elder Qian announced, "Lu Huai wins."
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted at the same time. Lu Huai said, "Thank you."
The junior disciple of the Four Phases Sect put away his sword and chuckled, "I accept my defeat with all my heart. I'm counting on you to take first place."
"certainly."
Junior disciple of the Four Phases Sect: “…..…”
As he walked, he muttered, "You people from the Xiaoyao Sect, none of you know how to spell the word 'humility', right?"
They are all so flamboyant.
The draw for the second round of competition soon arrived.
Ye Lingling fights with a young disciple from the Four Phases Sect, and whoever loses will be fifth.
On the other side, Lu Huai, Chen Chaochao, and Li Buyan drew lots.
This time, God was not on Shen Chaochao's side, and it was Li Buyan who drew a bye.
Shen Chaochao raised the stick in her hand towards Lu Huai, smiling shyly and obediently.
She said, "Ahuai, we're in the same group."
Lu Huai: “???”
So what? What was she so happy about? This was a competition, not a team match. If he knocked her off the stage, she wouldn't be able to laugh anymore, right?
But Xiaoxiao said before that when fighting with Shen Chaochao, you need to keep some distance.
It wasn't difficult to defeat Shen Chaochao, but it was a bit difficult if he couldn't get close enough to fight him. Since it was Ye Lingling's match, he still had time to think about how to fight.
Chen Chaochao opened and closed his mouth, saying a lot of nonsense, but Lu Huai didn't hear a word he said and just walked away.
Meanwhile, the battle between Ye Lingling and the younger disciple of the Four Phases Sect was drawing to a close. In the end, Ye Lingling narrowly defeated him with a single move, ultimately placing fourth.
······
The game was gradually reaching its climax, and the people in the stands began to get excited again:
"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, I knew that the first place must be one of Shen Chaochao and Li Buyan."
Nan Xiao poked the person who spoke and corrected him seriously: "My junior brother is still here, please remember that he is the number one."
“········”
I was so excited that I forgot that Nan Xiao was still here.
He retorted: "Lu Huai is only in the late stage of foundation building. What can he use to fight against two peak foundation building people?"
Nan Xiao blinked and replied, "Fight with a sword."
“······”
"Humph, it's good enough for him to be in the top three. Forget first place, second place is out of the question."
Nan Xiao's eyes rolled around: "Then... let's make a bet?"
The boy's face froze, obviously still remembering the guy who made a bet with Nan Xiao about eating shit last time.
He retorted angrily, "Who wants to bet with you on something so disgusting."
Nan Xiao waved his hand, a sly smile on his lips, and said slowly: "Let's not bet on disgusting things this time. How about betting on spirit stones?"
"I'll bet on my junior brother to come first, and you bet on one of them to win. Whoever guesses correctly will give the other 10,000 spirit stones, how about that?"
The main reason is that I’m afraid that if I ask for too much, he won’t be able to give it out.
"Do you mean what you say?"
The young man was obviously moved. This was obviously a gift of spirit stones.
Nan Xiao's eyes were full of smiles, and he said confidently and decisively: "Of course, whoever goes back on his word is a puppy."
"Okay, I'll believe you this time and make a bet with you." As long as he wins, the 10,000 spirit stones he lost before will be returned.
Take a chance and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
"Deal." After reaching an agreement with the young man, Nan Xiao raised his voice and said, "Are there any other brothers who want to participate in this game? This opportunity is fleeting and will never come back."
Many people around heard the conversation between Nan Xiao and the young man.
Someone asked, "If we all participate and we all win, will you give it all?"
Her words began to spread around, and many people gathered around her.
There are at least more than 30 people in this circle. Can she come up with more than 300,000 yuan at once?
Nan Xiao shook her finger and said, "Don't question my ability. Just tell me whether you want to play or not."
"Play···"
One person takes the lead, and the rest join in one after another.
Because Nan Xiao had played tricks on all of them before, most of them wanted to take revenge on Nan Xiao in this way, making her lose money and bleed, which could also be considered as teaching her a lesson.
They didn't communicate with each other, but they split into two teams tacitly. Half of them chose Li Buyan to win, and the other half chose Shen Chaochao to win. In this way, no matter who won first place in the end, Nan Xiao would have to pay more than 100,000 blood.
Nan Xiao didn't care about their little tricks. She took out a pen and paper and said, "Words are not enough. Come on, line up and register your names and sign them."
Otherwise it would be a pity to miss one.
Everyone didn't think much of it and just registered honestly. As long as Lu Huai didn't win, they wouldn't lose. A two-thirds chance was a good bet.
After Nan Xiao finished recording, she put the notebook away with a smile. She walked briskly to find Lu Huai who was about to go on stage.
He asked puzzledly: "Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
Nan Xiao hooked her finger at him, Lu Huai lowered his head, and the two of them put their heads together, whispering to each other.
Nan Xiao mysteriously pulled out the account book and said, "See? These are all the results of my previous battle. Since you took first place, I'll give you 100,000 spirit stones."
Lu Huai's innocent eyes lit up instantly: "Really?"
If he wins, not only can he earn back the spirit stones he betted before, but he can also make another 100,000 spirit stones for free. Just thinking about it makes him excited.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Okay, wait for me."
“·······”
