1066 Xiuxins Turn! (1/2)

And the match of formations after that...The Thousand Mountains Sect had never lost to anyone when it came to formations, even when their opponents were the few higher-ranking sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. As for the match of pillar forces and free will...the wicked plan of their sect leader was plain to see. From all of the above, the outcome was predictable.

”We bet on Thousand Mountains Sect! After all, it is a time-honored sect!” Ding Buke and You Buneng made up their mind.

Huo Yunfeng flew into a rage instantly. ”You can't bet on Thousand Mountains Sect! Are you trying to bankrupt me? You ungrateful things! You've just won over a hundred pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade from me, and yet you still want to take advantage of me? Do you still take me as your brother?”

Both men felt dizzy when they heard that.

”You will still bet on Residence of Nine Supremes this round!” Huo Yunfeng decided for them. ”Each of you will bet sixty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade. It's settled. I have the final say!”

They were struck dumb, and it was a long time before they said, ”Boss, you can't do that to us!”

”The odds are two to one!” Huo Yunfeng gritted his teeth.

”No, no, we won't play even if the odds are two to one!” They shook their heads repeatedly.

”Three to one! This is my bottom line! If you still refuse to play, forget it then! Hmph! Looks like this is the end of our thousands of years of brotherhood!” Huo Yunfeng's face turned blue and he was obviously very angry.

Ding Buke and You Buneng sighed helplessly. ”What should we do?” They gathered together to discuss.

”He's clearly trying to win back his spiritual jades...”

”Who doesn't know that? Can you just tell me what we should do?”

”Aye...why don't we just let him win back his spiritual jades? Otherwise, when we get back, we will have to look at his dark face for dozens of years. After all, the three of us spend most of the time together...”

”Alright. We've rejoiced too soon today.”

Everything was great about this Boss, and he was loyal to his brothers and always took care of them. But, he was overly obsessed with wealth. His mind was always occupied with spiritual jades and precious treasures, and would immediately become hot-headed whenever he saw them.

When the two finished their discussion, they turned around and agreed to play the game. ”Each of us will bet sixty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade! Boss, remember the odds are three to one!”

”Of course!” Huo Yunfeng beamed with joy instantly. With the winning cards in his hand now, the odds of three to one did not matter at all. It was merely a decoration.

”Boss, if we win, you have to pay 180 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade to each of us!” Ding Buke reminded as he was still not convinced. He had to make it clear. Otherwise, with Boss's temper, the odds of three to one might change to one to three.

It was a painful lesson both of them had learned in the past.

”Gambling is all about fairness! Why would I want to cheat you?” Huo Yunfeng said angrily. ”If Residence of Nine Supremes wins, I'll pay each of you 180 pieces, and if they lose, each of you will pay me 60 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade. That's the deal.”

”Your 180 pieces must be of supreme-grade as well,” You Buneng pointed out. ”You've only said 180 pieces but not supreme-grade spiritual jade. What if you pay us 180 pieces of inferior-grade spiritual jade when we win?”

With an embarrassed expression, Huo Yunfeng said, ”Damnit! You just don't trust me, do you?”

Both men stared at him with a knowing look.

He ground his teeth for a while and said, ”Fine, fine, fine! You win the bet as long as Residence of Nine Supremes wins the challenge, and I'll pay each of you 180 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade! But you lose if Residence of Nine Supremes fails to get promoted, and each of you will have to pay me 60 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade. Are you satisfied now?”

”It's a deal!”

The discussion between the three brothers finally came to an end and a new round of gambling was made official. But, Ding Buke and You Buneng suddenly felt worried. Although they knew the odds of them losing were higher, it was not necessarily hopeless. And once they won...

Their boss, Huo Yunfeng, would become bankrupt straightaway. The 120 pieces from the previous round plus the 360 pieces of this round equaled to 500 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade, which was almost an astronomical wealth...

What should they do then...?

Both Du Yangfan and Yun Yang were staring at the high stand from down below, their faces suspicious.

What was the matter with these three executive officers? Why did they whisper to each other before every challenge? It was their battle and had nothing to do with those three. They were just the nominal hosts of the challenge.

What was the reason for all the delay?

The first match was between the disciples. Yun Yang turned to the side with a smile and said, ”Sect Leader Du, my sect is new here and knows nothing about the mode of disciple match. May I ask how the match should be carried out? Is it one-on-one or a scuffle? Is it the best of five sets, three sets, or even seven sets or nine sets? We have no problem with all that. You can choose a mode that you feel more confident in. It really doesn't matter, as we can accept all the above modes!”

A roar of laughter broke out all over the place.

Yun Yang was clearly jeering at Du Yangfan for not daring to fight him head-on and making every effort to avoid the strong while only targeting the weak.

Du Yangfan's face turned red instantly. After all, he was the leader of a sect, and he had the dignity to take care of. ”I think it's better for you to tell me which mode you prefer, Sect Leader Yun,” he said coldly. ”We'll fight according to your choice. Thousand Mountains Sect has never feared any enemy.”

Yun Yang laughed. ”In that case, Yun Xiuxin!”

The little girl had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so she stepped forward and said, ”This disciple is here!”

Her voice was clear and crisp, but also mixed with a childlike tone that could not be concealed.

”Go and experience the skills of the senior brothers from Thousand Mountains Sect, lest you be so arrogant in our home like a frog at the bottom of a well,” said Yun Yang with a straight face.

”This disciple understands!”

Yun Xiuxin had a petite frame, and she was dressed in a cloth white as snow, with only a lilac belt around her waist. When she walked down the stands, she looked like a fairy who was gracefully descending from a cloud, beautiful and elegant.

In spite of the appearance of such beauty, all the people present except Residence of Nine Supremes sighed at the same time.

Why did they send such a delicate little girl...

Judging from her appearance, she was not even fifteen years old, was she?
