Chao Zhao strolled all the way down the mountain to Xuantian Academy in Linjian City, preparing to stock up on a batch of popular love triangle-themed stories for Liu Huandie.

Unfortunately, before she had the chance to leave Jianhua Immortal Sect, she was attracted by the words "buy it and leave it" that floated into her ears.

".....Where is the gambling going on?"

Whispering to Zhao, the gambler's radar activated automatically, leading her towards the ring.

When she arrived near the arena, it was already surrounded by disciples from various sects.

Chao Zhao showed his cheeky skills and randomly asked a passerby, "...What's going on?"

"Daoyou just arrived? You've really come at a great time! Did you see those two people on the stage? One is Xue Xingzhi, the chief disciple of Jianhua Xianzong, and the other is Huo Aoran, the young master of Zhongzhou Huo family who has been in the limelight recently. These two people..."

Before the man could finish the rest of his words, Chao Zhao had already squeezed in to the front.

"Make way, make way!"

"There are old, weak, sick and disabled people here. Please make way. Thank you."

"Thank you, thank you. You are indeed a cultivator with good qualities in the cultivation world."

The crowd that was originally crowding forward, made way for her in a daze while Chao Zhao was talking.

Chao Zhao squeezed his way to the front, quickly glanced at Xue Xingzhi and Huo Aoran who were still motionless on the stage, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tong Xiaosheng!"

She caught a glimpse of Tong Xiaosheng preparing to stop betting, her eyelids twitched violently, and she immediately yelled.

Unfortunately, Chao Zhao's voice was drowned out in the crowd. Tong Xiaosheng could only vaguely hear a familiar voice, but it did not stop his actions.

Just when he was about to stop calculating the odds, Chao Zhao's distorted face suddenly appeared in front of him.

Tong Xiaosheng was startled: "Senior Sister?!"

"Wait, wait a minute."

After Zhao Zhao uttered these words with difficulty, he gasped for breath and said, "I haven't placed my bet yet!"

"..."

Tong Xiaosheng was silent for a moment, "Senior Sister, do you have any more chips to play?"

Chao Zhao choked suddenly.

It seems like...she really has no spirit stones on her.

However, when people become poor to a certain extent, they will always find other lucky places, just like now.

"Zhao Zhao, what are you doing here!"

Ji Shu's arrogant and demanding voice rang in Chao Zhao's ears like a timely help, and Chao Zhao was so moved that he almost shed a crocodile tear.

"Look, someone is sending money here."

"..."

Tong Xiaosheng was speechless for a while.

Chao Zhao put on a customer service smile and said in a very friendly manner: "Isn't this the wealthy Young Master Ji? Lend me some spiritual stones?"

Ji Shu took a step back cautiously, "Are you scolding me?"

Chao Zhao continued to maintain a smiling and kind expression: "How could that be? I'm just praising you. You're still young, give me the money and go earn it yourself, okay?"

"...Why should this young master earn spirit stones himself?"

Ji Shu looked puzzled.

One sentence turned into an arrow and pierced Chao Zhao's broken heart.

She was breaking, literally.

Shen Mingyue was still with Ji Shu.

Ji Shu's ambiguous attitude towards Chao Zhao made her feel a sense of crisis during this period, and she stayed quiet for a while before returning.

She didn't want Ji Shu to pay more attention to Chao Zhao, so she interrupted their conversation with a smile.

"I think Senior Sister Chao Zhao is really in a difficult situation. Since we are disciples, how about I lend this spiritual stone to you?"

Hearing this, Chao Zhao's eyes lit up: "Oh, isn't this the sect's favorite Junior Sister Mingyue? She is indeed a Junior Sister as noble as the bright moon, so generous!"

"........."

The smile on Shen Mingyue's lips froze slightly.

Although Chao Zhao's attitude was sincere and his smile was bright, why did she feel that he was mocking her?

"...Senior Sister, you are too polite. How many spirit stones do you need?"

"Mingyue, I don't need you to give it to me."

Ji Shu frowned and stopped her action, then took out a bag of spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and threw it to Chao Zhao.

The one who gave the money was the uncle.

Even when facing mentally ill former junior brothers and sisters, Chao Zhao expressed her willingness to be tolerant, really!

Chao Zhao asked, "How many are there in here?"

"......How would I know?" Ji Shu frowned even more deeply, "Let's just say a few tens of thousands."

hiss--

Chao Zhao took a breath of cold air.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones? And considering the appearance of Ji Shu, the arrogant young master, these must be high-quality spirit stones!

Chao Zhao suddenly felt the bag in his hand was very hot.

She carefully took out ten spirit stones from her Qiankun bag, and then returned the bag to Ji Shu, "I will borrow ten and return them to you."

"what?"

Ji Shu, who was born with a golden key and was a child of destiny, was stunned. He asked in disbelief, "You can't even take out ten high-grade spirit stones?"

The genuine confusion in his tone was more obvious than the questioning.

"correct."

Chao Zhao responded to him calmly, then ignored him and went to find Tong Xiaosheng to place a bet.

Ji Shu, who stayed where he was, watched her leave. He automatically imagined a lively but thin figure in his mind and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

So, the bun she mentioned before... might really be her best feature.

As soon as Shen Mingyue saw the look of him struggling with himself, she knew that something was wrong. She felt mad but also speechless.

Is she also pretending to be poor to gain sympathy? !

......

Chao Zhao held the ten borrowed spirit stones in his pocket and discussed with Tong Xiaosheng, "Tong Xiaosheng, do you dare to play a big game?"

Tong Xiaosheng instantly guessed what she was thinking: "Senior sister, do you want to change the bet?"

"Chief Xue will definitely win. How about we change it up and guess how many moves he will make to win?"

Chao Zhao's words attracted many people around him.

Putting aside the question of Huo Aoran's strength, the sect disciples present had witnessed Xue Xingzhi's strength, not to mention that his talent for practicing, which was as easy as drinking water, had long been known to everyone.

Tong Xiaosheng's eyes flickered: "Senior sister, this bet is really cruel."

"Are you afraid of losing all your underground gambling house?"

Chao Zhao smiled in an unfathomable manner, and did not forget to incite the disciples around him, "Everyone, tell me, is that right?"

"Then Huo Aoran will definitely lose, but Chief Xue has never lost before!"

"Yeah, if you're going to gamble, let's gamble big!"

"If the bet ends in a few moves, the odds are huge..."

There were more and more responses, and at everyone's request, Tong Xiaosheng simply changed the bets and odds.

"Okay, let's just bet on a few moves and it'll be over!"

"I'll go first. I bet Chief Xue can finish it in fifty moves!"

"Thirty moves? You are looking down on our senior brother! Thirty moves!"

"Get out of the way, Chief Xue's fanatic fan is coming, he will definitely not make more than twenty moves!"

"........."

The gambling table continued to get lively.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of Zhongzhou.

Jiang Xueji saw Chao Zhao in the crowd and immediately remembered the humiliation she suffered yesterday. She gritted her teeth.

When she returned, she investigated Chao Zhao's identity and found out that she was the useless daughter of Jinghong Jianzun!

She took a few steps forward and said to Huo Aoran on the stage: "...Aoran, that woman is the daughter of Jinghong Sword Master."

As the young master of the Huo family, Huo Aoran is indeed a handsome man with an elegant appearance. However, when he opened his mouth, the gentle feeling of his appearance was destroyed.

Huo Aoran snorted disdainfully: "...She is just a waste without spiritual roots. Only these sects treat her well because of her mother."

The time was too short, so they had no chance to investigate more about Chao Zhao before they found out that he was a waste without any spiritual roots.

"......Too."

Although Jiang Xueji responded in this way, she couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Chao Zhao's actions that clearly showed his ability to influence the people around him.

The disciples placed their bets quickly, and the odds soared.

When most of the people who had placed bets had left, Chao Zhao came out with a profound look on his face: "Is everything almost done? It's my turn then."

It was only then that everyone realized that Chao Zhao, who had been shouting the loudest, had not yet placed his bet.

"...Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Tong Xiaosheng looked inquiringly.

Chao Zhao smiled calmly and placed all his ten spirit stones on the ten moves with the highest odds and few bets.

"It will be over in ten moves."

Tong Xiaosheng fanned his eye-catching folding fan and said with a smile: "Senior sister is so confident in Chief Xue?"

"Although Chief Xue is very powerful, why did I hear that Huo Aoran has also reached the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Isn't this Senior Sister Chao Zhao?"

"...Senior Sister Chao Zhao seems to be Chief Xue's junior sister."

"But she left Jianhua Immortal Sect a long time ago!"

"I don't believe it, at least twenty moves!"

Chao Zhao was very secretive: "What do you know?"

This group of people actually didn't understand this typical scene of Long Aotian being slapped in the face. All those popular scripts in Xuantian Academy were wasted.

The bet has been made and it is impossible to change it.

Chao Zhao squeezed to the edge of the ring, cleared his throat and shouted at the top of his voice: "Chief Xue!!!"

The echo of this Lion's Roar almost reverberated around the ring several times.

"...Junior sister, I'm not deaf."

Xue Xingzhi, who had been resting with his eyes closed since he first stood on the ring and was indifferent to the discussions around him, slowly opened his eyes and walked to the edge of the ring.

"I thought you were meditating."

After Chao Zhao finished speaking, he stretched out his two hands, spread out his five fingers and gestured to Xue Xingzhi, "Understand?"

"Ah."

Xue Xingzhi responded calmly.

This is one of the few tacit understandings between the two.

In the past, there were only two disciples under the name of Frost Sword Master, and Xue Xingzhi came from the mortal world, so he could better understand Chao Zhao's daily frugality.

As a result, Chao Zhao made a lot of extra money from his fellow disciples by using Xue Xingzhi's Long Aotian plug-in.

Xue Xingzhi quickly stood in the center of the ring again.

The people around them gradually realized the deeper meaning behind the interaction between Chao Zhao and Xue Xingzhi, and they all started to react in a defensive manner.

"Isn't this cheating?!"

"Senior Sister Chao Zhao, how could you do this!"

"Damn it, I threw a lot of spirit stones in there!"

Facing everyone's questioning, Chao Zhao lied with his innocent and weak face as if he was just an ordinary person.

"Slander! This is slander! I didn't say anything."

"Everyone just saw it!"

"What did you see? Oh..." Chao Zhao stretched out the last syllable and spoke slowly, "Why don't you go and discuss it with Chief Xue?"

"........."

Everyone was angry but dared not say anything.

Do you think everyone is as brave as you to talk to Xue Xingzhi and expect him to cooperate like this? !
