“Too rampant!”
“Too arrogant!”
"But I like it... hehe..."
"What a tone! Brother Chu is really capable!"
"It's all thanks to Brother Chu. Look at the faces of those people in Kyoto..."
"What's wrong? Is it swollen?"
"Hahaha!-"
The people of Tianjue City were naturally delighted to see this, but they could hear the people in Kyoto gritting their teeth, but they were powerless to do anything, especially the young master named Hao. Where was his previous pride now, talking about Qiu Huang and the like
The truth is that he had already disappeared into the crowd with his face covered!
Seeing this scene, Lu Meir was so excited that she waved her hands and clapped non-stop. She and Xue Yan naturally knew that Chu Tianxiao's repeated shouts of "don't blame me" and the words "one sword", "two swords", and "three swords" in such an arrogant and insolent manner were nothing more than... venting their anger!
When they thought of this, they were both deeply moved.
Looking around the room, Mr. Yi had a very complicated expression, as if he was crying and laughing at the same time, and he was helpless. After Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, a number was born.
"Forty-two thousand chips!"
As soon as this number was announced, the whole audience fell silent...
then…
Uproar!
There was an uproar!
"How many?"
"Forty-two thousand... this, this, this, this..."
"Several times more than Luo Bingqing originally had? Is this going to allow people to survive?"
"This year's record is really interesting... It was broken three times in a row, each one more fierce than the last..."
"Cattle... That's cattle..."
Everyone started talking loudly. Even Mr. Yi, although he had been prepared, twitched his mouth when he heard such a ridiculous number. Before he could react, someone came up to him, sweating profusely, and whispered, "Mr. Yi, I'm afraid the reward we prepared is not enough..."
Hearing this, Mr. Yi frowned: "How can it not be enough?"
"Before... I didn't think there would be this number of bamboo chips, so..." The man was sweating profusely, his legs trembling. Mr. Yi was about to say something else, but Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Yi."
"Hmm? What do you have to say?"
Chu Tianxiao said: "The training is about to end. If the rewards are not enough, it will be too late even if we call them from the nearest place... So, I have a suggestion."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"Yes." Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and said, "I heard that Mr. Yi once traveled to the South China Sea and encountered a Nine-bend forest. He also accidentally found a Nine-bend nanmu tree... I wonder if this news is true?"
"Yes... You want the Nine-bend Nanmu?" Mr. Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes." Chu Tianxiao said, "I am willing to exchange 42,000 chips for this item. I believe that Mr. Yi will also be able to get compensation from the national treasury afterwards. He will not suffer any loss and will have made a contribution. It will also not delay the distribution of rewards to others. It will kill two birds with one stone. I wonder if Mr. Yi is willing to give it up?"
“… You are quite eloquent, but I have to ask first, are these 42,000 chips fully at your disposal?”
Chu Tianxiao glanced at Lu Meir and Xue Yan, and they both immediately said that there was no problem - Lu Meir wanted to get some because she would have her own rewards after her own 'royal training' was over, and she was not greedy for Chu Tianxiao's; while Xue Yan had long been impressed by Chu Tianxiao, and believed that this protective master would grant him more opportunities in the near future. Moreover, he was clear about his own identity and knew that he was 'still inexperienced', so he had no objection.
"... You are quite capable. Are these two people convinced by you?" Seeing this, Mr. Yi said, "It's just... I went through a lot of hardships to get the Nine-bend Nanmu. Although 42,000 chips are a lot, if you really count them, they may not be worth this thing. Moreover, the Nine-bend Nanmu forest is drifting and erratic, and its whereabouts are hard to find. The Nine-bend Nanmu that remains in the world is really rare and extremely valuable. This piece of Nine-bend Nanmu is my most beloved treasure. I also want to use it to sacrifice the precious harp. How can I give it to you easily?"
Chu Tianxiao touched the back of his head and said, "I know this thing is precious, but I just caught up with it... Look, everything on this ground belongs to you, let's discuss it..."
Mr. Yi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Chu Tianxiao to suddenly show such an expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay... It seems that you have already planned it?"
"Hehe..." Chu Tianxiao rubbed his hands, "This..."
"... Well, whatever." Mr. Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "It's fine to give you the Nine-bend Nanmu, but, in addition to the 42,000 chips, you need to bring one more thing in exchange..."
As soon as Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Luo Bingqing suddenly said, "Wait a minute, sir."
"This person's 42,000 chips have not yet been obtained!"
The whole audience was stunned when these words came out. Mr. Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he heard Luo Bingqing say: "Sir, don't forget that there is still the "fighting chips" next. He may not be able to really get these 42,000 chips!"
Hearing this, Mr. Yi was slightly moved, and several people in the room were talking about it, their eyes swept back and forth between Chu Tianxiao and Luo Bingqing...
"Besides, Bingqing also wants this Nine-bend Nanmu to make a good zither." Luo Bingqing bowed and said, "Mr. Yi, can you give it up?"
If these words had been said before, it would not be a big deal, but saying them now is full of provocation!
The atmosphere in the field immediately became tense!
Hearing this, Lu Meir was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xue Yan, who shook his head gently and motioned her to look in the direction of Chu Tianxiao. After a glance, Lu Meir snorted in annoyance and stopped.
"This..." Mr. Yi didn't know what grudge these two had, but they were actually confronting each other like this... He pondered for a moment and asked, "Bingqing, have you been practicing the art of zither recently?"
"Not yet... but I can do it anytime." Luo Bingqing glanced at Chu Tianxiao, the contempt and coldness in her eyes revealed. Her words were not only full of confidence, but also a further provocation!
"I am willing to exchange this for fifty-five thousand two hundred chips!"
After hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned - when did Luo Bingqing have more than 50,000 chips? But then they thought...
The group of people suddenly realized that Luo Bingqing's words were an attempt to catch all of Chu Tianxiao's tricks in one fell swoop!
Considering her previous record, she is qualified to make this outrageous declaration!
Chu Tianxiao looked calm, looking at Luo Bingqing with a calm gaze, and said, "Let's not talk about whether you can get all my bamboo chips. Even if you can... 55,200 chips, they may not be worth the value of the Nine-bend Nanmu..."
Luo Bingqing looked cold, but ignored Chu Tianxiao and said to Mr. Yi, "Sir, how many chips do you think are enough to exchange for the Nine-bend Nanmu?"
"… At least, 60,000 chips."
"Okay." Luo Bingqing continued to ask, "Let me ask you again, sir, during the training, do you have to kill the beasts yourself to count towards the number of chips?"
"There is no such rule." Mr. Yi said, "Except before entering the Fierce Desolation Mountains, any beast cores obtained in the Fierce Desolation Mountains can be counted as chips. After all, luck is also a kind of strength! But Bingqing, do you..."
"That's right!" Luo Bingqing raised her neck like a proud swan, and then the Sumeru Ring moved!
Four ferocious beast cores with different shapes and emitting strong oppression suddenly appeared. In just a moment, some people whose cultivation was only at the Refining Truth Realm were frightened by the momentum and could not move. They were even more surprised - these cores were already dead, but they still had such a strong oppression. How powerful would these ferocious beasts be when they were alive
When he thought of this, he trembled even more. At this moment, Mr. Yi's surprised voice rang out first!
"Three high-level third-level ones, and one... low-level fourth-level one!"
"This... is a low-level fourth-order beast that is comparable to a Soul Awakening Realm expert. This..."
"There is absolutely no way Bingqing killed it herself, but upon closer inspection, the lines are still clear and the fluctuations are correct. It was definitely obtained in the Xionghuang Mountains within a month..."
"Such luck is truly amazing... I wonder what adventure she had..."
Several gentlemen started discussing, and then Luo Bingqing sneered and turned to Chu Tianxiao and said, "I didn't take it out before because I thought this settlement was just a small matter and it would be solved with a little effort. Who would have thought that it would make someone arrogant and presumptuous..." (To be continued.)
