458 A Wager 2

"This woman's schemes do not seem to be in the right place."

At the judges' seat, the elder of the Immortal Realm, Bai Xiangtian stared coldly at Wei Yiyi in the arena and slowly spoke, "The Medicine Order hah lost long ago yet she would not allow them to leave the arena. She didn't even give them the chance to surrender. A woman like this will be the bane of the mainland sooner or later."

The Honorable Sir Tianqi laughed coldly, "When compared to Wei Yiyi, I'm afraid that the disciples of the Medicine Order were far crueler. They clearly used killing attacks. Anyone with sub-par powers would have died by their sword immediately. If that were to happen, would you still say this?"

Even though the Honorable Sir Tianqi did not know Wei Yiyi personally, she was still a member of the Dongfang Family team. He would certainly provide help at a time like this. 

"Honorable Sir Tianqi, don't think I don't know your relationship with the Dongfang Family. You've kept this from many people but you can't keep this away from the eyes and ears of the Immortal Realm!" sneered Bai Xiangtian. "So that's why you would stand on the Dongfang Family's side but unfortunately, those from the younger generation of the Dongfang Family are unable to support the mud on the walls and are no match for the geniuses of the Medicine Order."

The Honorable Sir Tianqi's eyes flashed as he smiled, "Honorable Sir Xiangtian, if that's the case, how about we make a little wager?"

"A wager?" Bai Xiantian sneered, "How would you like to make this wager?"

"It's very simple!"

Honorable Sir Tianqi's elderly face was plastered with smiles. He stared cunningly at the old man in white next to him, "I bet that the Dongfang Family will be the champions of this year's Divine Trials! I've also heard that your Immortal Realm has obtained the historical remains of an ancient folk remedy. If you lose, you'll give that folk remedy to me. If I lose, I will give this low-class spiritual weapon in my possession to you."

Bai Xiangtian fell silent. 

This old man may be quite shameless on a regular basis but he wouldn't possibly make a wager with me, knowing that he would lose, he thought. Especially since this fellow can be quite petty, he wouldn't risk anything if he wasn't 100% sure...

Could it be that there's something in this that I don't know about?

"Honorable Sir Tianqi, I have no interest in making wagers..."

Just as Bai Xiangtian was about to reject him, he noticed that the Honorable Sir Tianqi was letting out an obvious sigh of relief.

His expression was as if he had regretted his proposal and, upon seeing that the opposition did not agree to it, felt immediately more relaxed.

"However..." After seeing the Honorable Sir Tianqi's expression, Bai Xiangtian quickly changed his tone, "If you, Honorable Sir Tianqi is interested in this sort of thing, then I am willing to keep you company."

"What?"

The Honorable Sir Tianqi cried out anxiously and stared in panic at Bai Xiangtian. He looked as if he was thoroughly regretting this.

"This is... This is... Argh!" He let out a heavy sigh. "For such a pure and virtuous person like me, since the words have been spoken then I cannot take them back. Alright, let's make a wager!"

The Honorable Sir Tianqi seemed to have used all his might to spit out those words and his entire body leaned softly against his chair. 

Bai Xiangtian smiled disdainfully at the sight of his pale face. 

This old man actually dared to scare me, he nearly saw through my moralities! He thought. Luckily, I've managed to call his bluff and agreed in time. The Dongfang Family could not possibly defeat the Medicine Order in the Trials this time! And as for the spiritual weapon in this old man's hands, it will soon be mine.

Bai Xiangtian smiled in satisfaction at the thought of this.

In that moment, he did not notice that the Honorable Sir Tianqi was also grinning from ear to ear.
