A youth around seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a comfortably tailored outfit, walked in with a smile on his handsome face. He was none other than Zhao Shanyu, one of the four Elite Disciples of the Outer Sect.
Chu Yixuan looked at Zhao Shanyu, who had just entered, with a beaming smile and said, "Zhao Shidi is setting up a game here, and as your senior brother, I can't just stand by without showing my support!"
Zhao Shanyu was so angry he nearly spat blood. He knew very well what kind of person Chu Yixuan was. The gloom on his face vanished in an instant as he laughed heartily, "Then I must thank Brother Chu."
"Isn't it just five thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones? If you lose, consider it a gift from your senior brother to you!" Chu Yixuan said casually. "But it all depends on whether you can take it home."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanyu was furious but tried to calm himself down. He disdainfully replied, "You don't need to worry about that, Brother. It's just a gambling match, nothing serious."
"Haha, Zhao Shidi is indeed wealthy and generous; it's enviable for this senior brother," Chu Yixuan said after pausing for a moment before adding seriously, "How about I wager another five thousand Yuan Stones?" He thought to himself with a sneer, "Let's see if I can take you down this time."
Lin Chao was filled with anger and gritted his teeth to suppress it. He coldly said, "Brother Chu, are you so confident he will win? That would be reckless."
"Reckless? You don't need to worry about that," Chu Yixuan replied with a smile. "I don't trust myself; I trust Wang Shidi."
"Oh really?" Zhao Shanyu's expression darkened as he looked at Wang Yi. His words were devoid of any emotion as he said, "Wang Shidi certainly has great ambition, but some losses are not something everyone can afford. You should think carefully about this."
"You don't need to worry about me, Brother Zhao. If I do lose, then I have no one to blame," Wang Yi replied with a calm smile. In the past, he might have given up easily; his strength alone was not enough to deal with the formidable Zhao Shanyu. But this time was different—Chu Yixuan, who had always been at odds with Zhao Shanyu, stood by his side. With his support, Zhao Shanyu's words seemed less threatening. Therefore, he could not give up this time; it was about leveraging power. With Chu Yixuan's backing, Wang Yi was determined to win big this time and make Zhao Shanyu spit blood!
Zhao Shanyu's expression grew colder as he ominously said, "Then..."
"Wow, this is quite lively!" A wildly arrogant voice suddenly came from outside the door. The disciples turned pale upon hearing it and quickly made way.
Hearing this arrogant voice, Zhao Shanyu's expression darkened to a terrifying degree, his cold eyes glinting with a chilling light.
The newcomer was tall and slender, with a fair complexion, exuding an air of refined quality. It was Li Jianren's son, Li Gang, whose strength ranked among the top four in the Outer Sect.
"What's wrong, Zhao Shidi? Aren't you welcoming me?" Li Gang stood with his hands behind his back, walking over proudly with a hint of a smile on his face, followed by dozens of disciples, exuding an air of authority.
"Greetings, Li Shixiong." Following the rules of the sect, Zhao Shanyu had no choice but to greet him along with the others.
"Haha. Li Shixiong is smiling. It's an honor for me as a Shidi to have my Shixiong here." In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shanyu put on a friendly demeanor, as if what had just happened was merely a joke.
"That's good, that's good!" Li Gang nodded in acknowledgment, looking at the gambling table and said with a smile, "I heard that Shidi set up a gambling game here. We brothers came to support you."
"Since my Shixiong has such interest, I will certainly accompany you to the end." From the moment he saw Li Gang appear, Zhao Shanyu's heart sank. He knew what kind of person Li Gang was—he was even more cunning than his father. The two had been secretly competing against each other for a long time, wishing nothing more than for the other to fail. This time it was just a competition between two inconspicuous disciples; how could Li Gang have such leisure? Zhao Shanyu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Good, good, very good." After glancing at Wang Yi, Li Gang looked at Zhao Shanyu with a smile and said, "Since Zhao Shidi is so enthusiastic about this, then I will bet on Wang Yi—ten thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones." He took out a Storage Bag from his waist and tossed it onto the Gambling Table, sighing as he said, "Alas, I've been a bit tight on funds lately; I hope Zhao Shidi won't find it too little."
"What? Ten thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones?"
"Truly worthy of being the elder's son; he's wealthy and generous."
"Damn it, I've never seen so many Yuan Stones before."
Zhao Shanyu's smile instantly froze. Taking a deep breath, he glanced at the Storage Bag thrown onto the Gambling Table and forced out a strained smile as he said, "Li Shixiong isn't joking with me, is he?"
"Are you kidding me?" Li Gang looked at Zhao Shanyu as if he were an idiot and said seriously, "Do I look like I'm joking with you?" He then disdainfully added, "What, Zhao Shidi can't handle it? If you can't handle it, Senior Brother can bet less!" He burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone could see the teasing intent in Li Gang's words. Under Zhao Shanyu's fierce demeanor, their faces turned red, but after hearing Li Gang's last remark, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhao Shanyu's face instantly turned a shade of liver color; it was neither here nor there. With a dark expression, he coldly scanned the surroundings, and the laughter abruptly ceased. He walked up to Li Gang's side and whispered, "Don't get too smug too soon."
"Hehe, you should prepare for how to settle this. If you can't come up with Yuan Stones for compensation later, that would be embarrassing for your Xiangcheng Zhao Family," Li Gang said mercilessly. Despite saying this, Li Gang still felt some worry in his heart. He had hoped to make a profit from the gamble, but originally the one betting was not Wang Yi but Wang Zhou; after all, everyone knew that the former was at the fifth level and considered a skilled fighter, while the latter was merely a martial artist who had just entered the ranks of Elite Disciples.
However, upon learning that Chu Yixuan had bet five thousand Yuan Stones on Wang Yi, Li Gang rushed over immediately. From his understanding of Chu Yixuan, this person never engaged in losing deals. Since he dared to bet on Wang Yi, it indicated that this competition was not going to be one-sided, so he came.
Hearing this, Zhao Shanyu couldn't help but doubt whether provoking the relationship between Li Gang and Chu Yixuan through Wang Yi and Niu Meng was the right move. If Wang Yi really won this time, the amount of Yuan Stones he would have to compensate wouldn't be small; just from Li Gang alone, he would have to pay a full five hundred thousand Yuan Stones!
"No, no, absolutely not." Zhao Shanyu's face darkened as he furiously shouted in his heart. If that were to happen, he would become the laughingstock among all the disciples. His pride would never allow such a thing to occur.
