42 They Are Just Wasting Their Money!

In front of the Li Clan's arena, a merchant shouted out loud, "Bet your money, bet your money right here! The Future Clan Lord of the Li Clan, Li Gao Yun fight in a death match against two of Second Young Master of Feng Clan's bodyguards!"

When there's something to gamble, how could men with gambling passion not bet?

"Two on one? I'm obviously going to bet on the two. 200 silver taels!"

"Right, especially when the two are Feng Ao Xiu's bodyguard, they must be top-notch! 400 silver taels!"

Three men are observing from afar.

"Let's follow them!"

"This is a big chance! We must hurry!"

A man with a white moustache stopped his friends, "You fools! It's not as easy as it looks. Don't just bet without thinking. Do some research first! Don't you know anything about the fighters?"

"What is it? What about the fighters?"

"Let me explain! Young Master Li may be alone, but he is a Dream Mortal Realm Cultivator and there's also a rumour that he made a breakthrough to Dream Earth Realm yesterday."

"So what? One person can't win against two. Furthermore, the two are the bodyguards of an Ancient Earth Realm Expert."

"That's why I said, that you need some research. Those two were mere Fifth Stage of Abstract Spirit Realms. Young Master Feng just came back a few days ago. He did not have time to find bodyguards, he must have picked those two on the spot. Either that or they are just a sacrificial lamb in the politics of the big clan."

"What! Fifth Stage of Abstract Spirit Realms! Really!?"

"You're lucky that I'm here! The dealer was targeting those fools who bet on Feng Ao Xiu's bodyguards. Watch me!"

The man went to the dealer, "What are the odds?"

The merchant replied with a smile on his face, "Hehe... This mister is very lucky! We are having a big promotion, Young Master Li Gao Yun is alone and the payout is 1.36 times. The Qian Hui and Qian Lu of the Feng Clan payout are 5.87 times. I take it this mister are willing to bet on the two men."

The middle-aged man strokes his chin, he calmly replied, "Hahaha... I'll bet on Li Gao Yun for 300 taels of silver."

The dealer doesn't look very happy, he forced himself a smile, "Ah... Are you sure? It's two against one, I suggest this mister think twice before making a bet."

He just laughed it off, "No need, I'm sure Li Gao Yun will win!"

The friends of the man stared at the conversation. They realized what their friend said was true. The wide margin of the payout, the persuasion to bet on the Qian Brothers and the forced smile on the dealer confirm everything.

"I'll bet on the winning of Young Master Li for 500 silver taels!"

"Me too! 800 silver taels!"

The merchant frowned, these three people were smart and wise, he will not have much profit at this rate. "Ssshh... Look, I'll give you guys a bigger payout. But, please don't shout and keep it to yourself."

The three men smile, they just got themselves a nice deal.

A middle-aged, wearing a large black robe approach, it was none other than the Xie Clan Lord, Xie Kui. Not far behind, his son, Xie Jing and several guards followed.

Xie Kui asked his son, "Are you sure?"

"Father, not this again! I have already become the disciple of Master Feng. It is only reasonable that I support him. Besides, this is the order of Master Feng himself to bet as many as you can."

"Fine...", said Xie Kui with a heavy heart.

Xie Kui turned to the dealer, "Three million gold taels on Qian Qian."

"Yes! Of course!", The dealer's face turned into a big smile. He's going to be a rich man!

Then, several other big shots from the big clans show up to bet on Qian Qian. They were from the Ji Clan, and from the clans whose their young masters were rescued by Feng Ao Xiu.

"500,000 gold taels."

"1,000,000 gold taels."

"2,000,000 gold taels."

Just a few minutes before the matches started. A small group of people came. Despite the size, they were all powerful. Without the need to be mentioned they were not an ordinary clan, the Yang Clan.

After all this time, the Clan Lord of the Yang Clan, Yang Wen Jia were in a pitiful state. He won't go out of his room, neither he wants to eat nor do anything. He could only sit on his bed while crying knowing what will happen to his Clan in the hands of Ma Zhong and the Heavenly Wolf Temple.

However, this morning a messenger from the Feng Clan arrived in his household delivering a message from Feng Ao Xiu. The message was simple, to ask him to bet as many as he could for Qian Hui and Qian Lu in this match.

This was a very confusing matter. Days ago, he got the news that Feng Ao Xiu wanted to cancel the engagement. Although letters and formality were needed to cancel it, he knew it was only a matter of time before it happens. But this time, that very same man asks for a favour from the Yang Clan.

This was contradictory, if he wanted to cancel the engagement, it was better not to have any contact with the Yang Clan. However, the messenger also give another message from Feng Ao Xiu, "You won't regret it!"

In the end, Yang Wen Jia did not know whether this was a small glitter of hope or Feng Ao Xiu was just using him. He could only do what was asked, and see what happens next.

"10,000,000 gold taels.", Yang Wen Jia slammed his money to the dealer.

After all, he would have to face the Heavenly Wolf Temple. Money did not mean anything to him if he died. So, he did not care and used all the money he could find.

"Yes! I'll get your ticket ready right away!", said the dealer happily. He never imagined there would be so many clans stupidly bet on the losing horse.

Yang Wen Jia paused for a bit, "Which company are you from?"

"Dear customer, no need to look any further. We are a subsidiary company of the Li Clan. When you win, you can straight away go to the Li Clan's warehouse to get your money", said the dealer happily. It's not like it will ever happen.

The three men who bet on Li Gao Yun shook their head. They've been observing the entire time.

"Did these clans not know what is going on? They are just wasting their money!"

"How could they be so stupid!? Do they think a miracle will happen?"

"Haha... Let's go! We already got ourselves a nice deal!"

***

Inside the arena.

The Li Clan Lord, Li Yun Shang sat in the middle. He couldn't stop showing the bright smile on his face, after hearing the betting report. "Hahaha... more than thirty million gold taels on the Fifth Stage of Abstract Spirit Realms, while those who bet on my son is only about one million gold taels."

This was a happy day. He did not know what's wrong with Feng Ao Xiu to sent his two weak bodyguards instead of himself. But, this was an opportunity. If Li Gao Yun defeated both of them, Feng Ao Xiu won't bother with their clan anymore. Otherwise, the reputation of Feng Ao Xiu and Feng Clan will fall.

Li Gao Yun who's been sitting beside him nodded, "Father, no need to worry. I'll definitely defeat them."

Li Gao Yun jumps to the centre of the arena. He intentionally emits his aura for everyone to see. After drinking the Qi Rinse Wine, his cultivation became a bit faster, and he made a breakthrough yesterday.

"Ah... Dream Earth Realm. The rumour is true!"

"So what? Feng Ao Xiu's two bodyguards will totally defeat him!"

"Haha... You fool! Do you know their cultivation level?"

"What?"

"Fifth Stage of Abstract Spirit Realm!"

"What the f*ck!"

"It's true, I was a witness!"

"What am I doing!? I placed the wrong bet!"

"Me too!"

The big clans were especially nervous. How could they not? They did Feng Ao Xiu favour by betting on his bodyguards. Almost their entire fortune was used on this bet. But, with the way things are going, they were on the losing side.

A guard shouts, "The Feng Clan has arrived!"

Feng Ao Xiu and Feng Zhong Tian swaggeringly walk towards their place. Hundreds of guards were accompanying.

"Qian Qian, Go!", Feng Ao Xiu commands. Two figures separated from the group of guards and walk into the stage.

When the people who bet on Qian Qian, saw how they actually look. They immediately lose all hope. A guard should look brawny and muscular, even normal looking one is fine. But, skinny and fat were definitely not in the criteria.

When they get to the stage, Qian Hui immediately lies down on the ring. He said to his brother while yawning, "Lu, I'm sleepy! You take on him alone. Wake me up when you're done!"

What the hell are you doing? Don't you know there's a fight going on!? You are going to fight against someone stronger than you. Your life is on the line. You'll die!

Qian Lu angrily said, "Big Brother! How could you!?"

Yes! Tell your stupid brother to fight seriously!

Qian Lu continues, "It's my nap time now!"

What the f*ck! That's what you're angry about!?

Qian Hui scold back, "No! You just had a nap this morning."

"It's still my turn today! Didn't the agreement state I can do it until noon!"

"It's already noon! The sun is up there!"

Can you two stop fighting over who gets to rest!? Just fight already! Even Young Master Li is annoyed!

Li Gao Yun eyes twitched, "Ahh... Can we start now?"

In the end, Qian Hui talks his way into it. He sleeps right away, uninterested in the fight.

The match started.

Qian Lu said, "Ah... Young Master Li, can I attack first?"

Everyone wants to vomit. Can this fatty get any more shameless? Not only you pick a fight over a nap, you shamelessly ask to attack first. This is a deathmatch for Heaven's sake!!

However, Li Gao Yun did not mind. In fact, he mocked the two men, "Hahahaa... Go on! Even if you both attack first at the same time, I'll still win!"

Qian Lu jumped toward Li Gao Yun, his aura radiates over the entire arena.

Wait! It's not the aura of an Abstract Spirit Realm! It's the aura of a Dream Sky Realm!

What is going on!?
