Chapter 892
Recluse
“Hahaha, I’m rich! I’m bloody rich!” cheered Daoist Chu Buqu, counting his spirit stones waltzed into a decrepit temple at the city outskirts.
“Shifu, I should’ve loaned you a spirit stone,” bemoaned Chu Xiachi, sighing over his bankruptcy.
“I told you to trust me, haha. I told you that you need to be daring if you want to win big. That’s why you have to learn from me,” enthused Daoist Chu Buqu, overjoyed that he did not have to hand over his spirit stones to Chu Xiaoqing.
“Wow, Mu Yu has made it into the top twenty. How cool...” commented Chu Xiaoqing.
Chu Xiachi snatched over the rankings sheet. “Shifu, Xiao Ran just jumped to rank sixteen out of the blue.”
“If Xiao Ran is bouncing around, that means the old bugger permitted it. We can’t lose to them. Beloved disciple!”
“Present!” responded Chu Xiachi, wearing a stoic visage.
“Go seize rank fifteen. Always be ahead of Xiao Ran. I want to see that old fart foaming at the mouth!”
“Roger!” Chu Xiaochi leaned in to whisper, “Shifu, are you going to bet again?”
“You bet. I’ll go all in this time.”
“Can you count me in?”
“What are you going to bet with, your behind?”
“Shifu, can you lend me a thousand as support?”
“Your fault for not believing me. It’s too late for regrets.”
“Shifu, if you don’t give me the loan, I won’t have any motivation to fight. If I lack motivation, you’ll lose your bet.”
“You’re blackmailing your shifu? If you lose, I’ll put you on a ducking stool!”
“I swear to take rank fifteen!” Chu Xiachi heaved a heavy breath but then had an idea. Smiling, he approached Chu Xiaoqing to request, “Hey, um, can you give me some encouragement? Shifu is going to rig this bet, so I’ll kill it this time, okay?”
“Mu Yu is so cool...”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
Yep, Chu Xiaoqing did not hear a word of their conversation.
“Perfect Water City truly is an amazing city. Rarely do you come across a city without any cultivators. The view of the city from this cliff, Windgazing Cliff, is also quite the spectacle.”
“What do you want from me?”
“I want to see your shifu.”
Xiao Ran moved his head with and then against the wind. “He doesn’t want to be involved in conflicts in the cultivation world.”
“It’s impossible for you to remain out of it when Third Heaven Palace traces Liu Ernian’s death back to here.”
“You’re right. Regardless, I had to kill him as he set his sights on this city.”
“Anyone of them would be interested in a city without cultivators.”
Xiao Ran concurred with his head. “Answer me this.”
“What?”
“What realm is your cultivation out?”
A sword created a vacuum as it breezed through for a split second.
“Is that a satisfactory answer?”
“Sure is.” Xiao Ran lifted up the corner of his lips. “You’re probably better than your martial brothers at hiding your skills. I don’t think anyone is giving you enough credit. My shifu told me told me to wait here for you, claiming you were coming for Xiang Nan.”
A snow eagle soared across the sky.
