"Elder Li, how much did you bet?" Elder Hu looked at Elder Li.

"Five million gold coins. I bet five million gold coins on them to complete the task. I'm making a fortune. I'm making a fortune." Elder Li's hands were shaking with excitement.

Elder Hu: ...

The old fox was even more ruthless than me. I only bet one million gold coins, but he bet five million!

"Elder Hu, what about you? Aren't you all assigned to the side that cannot complete the mission?" Elder Li had a gloating look on his face.

"Why do I feel like you're gloating?" Elder Hu rolled his eyes at him.

"Hahaha, Elder Hu, don't be too sad. I will treat you to a drink when I get the money." Elder Li laughed out loud when he heard that.

Elder Hu: ...

Looking at his old face that looks like it’s about to crack from laughing, I really want to slap him.

"I may disappoint you. I have bet one million gold coins on them to complete the task." Elder Hu said and walked out.

Elder Li: …

It seems that Elder Hu is also an old fox.

Nangong Xi and his friends arrived at the place where they were betting, only to see that the originally bustling place was now filled with gloom and sorrow.

Because the news that the Dark Temple has completed its mission has spread!

Among all the people who placed bets, the only ones who bet that the Dark Temple could complete the task, except Nangong Xi and his friends, were the two crazy elders.

"Look, people from the Dark Temple are coming this way." At this time, someone noticed Nangong Xi and the others.

"We all bet that they can't complete the task. Are they here to settle accounts with us?" Someone was very worried.

"What are you thinking about? People from the Dark Temple are not so petty." A disciple of the Dark Temple happened to be standing next to that man.

At this time, the man was also shocked when he saw the disciples of the Dark Temple.

However, he felt relieved when he heard from the disciples of the Dark Temple that Nangong Xi and the others were not here to settle scores.

Nangong Xi and the others came to the man who made the bet and looked at him.

"Huo...Palace Master Huo." The man was shocked.

"Why are you so nervous? We are here to redeem our winnings." Nangong Xi handed him the betting receipt.

Immediately afterwards, Palace Master Huo and Yan You also gave him a betting voucher respectively.

Looking at the three familiar betting receipts in front of him, the person who opened the betting was dumbfounded!

He didn't expect that the three people who came last and whom he thought were idiots giving him money were actually people from the Dark Temple.

It seems that I am the idiot!

"Wait a moment." The person who set the bet could only pay twenty-five times the odds in gold coins to Nangong Xi and the others with tears in his eyes.

Just after Nangong Xi and the others happily received the gold coins, Elder Li and Elder Hu came again.

The person who placed the bet had to pay his winnings with tears in his eyes again. For him, this was more painful than cutting his own flesh!

Even though most people bet on the side that the task could not be completed, the amount bet by Nangong Xi and his team was too large and the odds were too high, so there was not enough money to pay.

Watching Nangong Xi and the others leave happily, the person who made the bet hid in the corner.

He kept muttering the same thing, and in just a moment, I became a pauper!

After leaving the mission hall, Nangong Xi and the others returned to the Dark Temple.

As soon as they arrived at the temple entrance, Qu Xiao came up to them, and it seemed that she was waiting for them here on purpose.

"Xixi, I miss you so much." Qu Xiao took the lead in giving Nangong Xi a big hug.

"Sister Xiao, why are you waiting here?" Nangong Xi looked at Qu Xiao curiously.

"By the way, Palace Master, a lot of... strange people have come to our temple, just like the ones in our House of Strange People. They said they wanted to see Xixi, but you haven't come back yet, so the young master arranged for them to wait in the House of Strange People." Qu Xiao looked at Palace Master Huo.

"It seems those people have come to our door." Palace Master Huo almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Palace Master, what is going on?" Qu Xiao was curious when he heard this.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. They brought this upon themselves." Palace Master Huo looked at Qu Xiao with a smile.

Boom boom boom!

A strange sound was heard, and a piece of meat was seen jumping towards this side.

If you look closely, isn't it He Yu from Tianhan Palace?

At this moment, he was covered in dust and his face was gloomy!

He Yu just looked straight at Nangong Xi!

"Palace Master He, why are you looking at me like that? We don't accept any more people in our Hall of Extraordinary People." Nangong Xi looked very apologetic.

"Who wants to join your Pavilion of Strange People?" Palace Master He jumped up when he heard that.

If he had feet, he would definitely jump three feet high.

"Oh, so you're not here to ask to join our Hall of Strange People." Nangong Xi nodded.

"Uncle Huo, I'm tired. I'm going to go back and rest first." Nangong Xi turned and looked at Palace Master Huo.

"Okay." Palace Master Huo nodded with a smile.

"Wait, wait, Miss Nangong, Master Nangong, Lord Nangong, please wait a minute, don't rest yet." At this time, a group of strange-looking people rushed out of the Strange People's House.

"What do you want to do? Stay away from our Xixi, you will scare her." Seeing this, Qu Xiao immediately protected Nangong Xi behind her.

"Ms. Qu, you misunderstood. We, we have no ill intentions." The leader of Beifeng Sect looked at Qu Xiao.

The others nodded quickly.

"So what do you want to do?" Qu Xiao's face was serious.

"We're here to seek medical treatment, we're here to seek medical treatment." Everyone spoke quickly, and then looked at Nangong Xi with pleading faces.

They didn't dare look in the mirror these days, and the looks from others made them almost collapse.

"Didn't you hear, Xixi said she was tired? She is still a little girl. After a long journey, she needs to rest." Qu Xiao looked at those people coldly.

They must not be good people to become like this.

“Then Miss Nangong, please go and have a rest first. We can wait.” The leader of Beifeng Sect said hurriedly.

He knew that Nangong Xi was their only hope now and he couldn't let her be annoyed.

"Xixi, let's go. The Palace Master has prepared a courtyard for you. Do you plan to continue living with me or go back to that courtyard?" Qu Xiao grabbed Nangong Xi and left.

"I'd better live with you. It's more lively here." Nangong Xi still chose to live in Qu Xiao's yard.

"That's great. I was worried that you wouldn't want to live in my yard." Qu Xiao was very excited when he heard that.

"Xixi, those people are your masterpiece, right?" Qu Xiao looked at Nangong Xi with a teasing look on her face.

"No." Nangong Xi shook her head.

"Really?" Qu Xiao looked suspicious.

"It's Anming's masterpiece." Nangong Xi smiled.

"Puchi...Everyone around Xixi is very capable." Qu Xiao also laughed when she heard that.

Speaking of the entrance to the Qiren Pavilion.

"Palace Master Huo, we are guests here. It is not appropriate to let us stay in the Museum of Strange People. It makes us the same as those people on exhibition." Tianhan Palace Master He Yu had a gloomy face.

"I guess you'll have to stay in the Hall of Strange People until you recover. This is called people are divided into groups." After saying this, Palace Master Huo quickly walked into the Dark Temple.

"Third Elder, please make arrangements and put up a notice at the entrance of the Strange People's Hall, saying that there are new faces in the Hall these days, all of whom are the leaders of various forces, and you are welcome to visit. The price will also be increased tenfold." Palace Master Huo said to Elder Huang beside him as he walked.
