"Wait."
Chu Tianxiao played with the wine glass and said lightly.
If it was before the incident with Chu Huang, no one would really listen to what this prodigal son said, but... after what happened just now, some people have changed their opinion of this prodigal son. Hearing this, many people in the audience looked towards Chu Tianxiao's seat.
The Seventh Prince smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chu, please speak."
The call of "Brother Chu" immediately attracted more people's attention, but Chu Tianxiao didn't care. He said leisurely: "Your Highness, please understand. According to the rules, is gambling allowed at the Autumn Night Banquet?"
The Seventh Prince rolled his eyes and smiled, "Of course there are such rules... Why, Brother Chu wants to start the first gambling game tonight?"
"No... I want to ask Your Highness to start the game. I will decide what to bet on. If I lose, it's mine, and if I win, it's Your Highness's... Oh, if you really win, Your Highness, please don't be polite and don't give me the things... The prodigal son is only responsible for spending money, not making money!"
After these words were spoken, the crowd began to discuss. The Seventh Prince lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Brother Chu's suggestion is quite interesting... I wonder..."
"It's just for fun. If you lose, just consider it as a waste. Your Highness, please don't shirk your responsibility..." Chu Tianxiao couldn't say that if he really opened the gambling game himself, or tricked Lu Xianyuan into giving him the things afterwards... the amount of money lost would definitely be deducted to the ground, and he had to "open the game" to suppress Qin Yun... So after thinking about it, he used this method.
In the eyes of outsiders, this can be seen as a display of personal relationship with the prince, or as a way of currying favor... Naturally, no one would think of anything else.
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Oh, since Brother Chu is interested... Okay, I agree and will help you start this game."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Tianxiao looked at Qin Yun and said calmly, "From now on, I bet seven Fire Cloud Fruits on Qin Yun... One move, and he will win!"
After these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
"Fire Cloud Fruit? That's something that fire-type practitioners dream of. Each fruit is worth 50,000 spirit coins, so seven of them is worth 350,000! What a waste..."
"This prodigal son thinks so highly of Qin Yun? He can win with one move? Impossible!"
"If it was him back then, maybe he could still do it, but now? Haha..."
"Brother Chu, this is a great gift that comes right to my door. I will gladly accept it!"
Hearing that Chu Tianxiao had made such an 'incredible' bet in the name of the Seventh Prince, everyone was quite tempted and agreed one after another. Soon they all reported their own bets. Although it seemed a bit painful, it was a business that was sure to make money - at least that's what they thought.
Upon seeing this, the Seventh Prince understood Chu Tianxiao's intention, and his lips curled up involuntarily, but he said nothing and just sat there watching the show.
Only Qin Yun glared at Chu Tianxiao, his eyes filled with anger!
Originally, he was prepared to use his full strength to shock the crowd, but after Chu Tianxiao played such a trick, he was in an awkward situation - if he used his full strength, wouldn't this let Chu Tianxiao win, and further "befriend" the Seventh Prince? But if he deliberately let Chu Tianxiao win, how could he shock the crowd in the first game
If it was another prince charming who knew when to advance and when to retreat, he would be able to see the key point at this time, knowing that there were still many opportunities, and deliberately make a move to disgust the opponent... But Qin Yun couldn't do it.
You must know that after his engagement was broken off, he had been suppressed and beaten by Chu Tianxiao, and it had already become a demon in his heart. When he met him at this moment, not only was his head hot, but his heart was extremely eager to show off and could not tolerate being looked down upon even for a moment!
The prince of destiny always pretends to be awesome. This is like eating and drinking. It is their nature. It is nothing. It is also the nature of ordinary people. But just like a flood, it is better to drain it than to block it. Simply blocking the road will only lead to a more severe outbreak... Therefore, when a prince of destiny returns to the road of kingship after many ups and downs, but cannot show it in front of everyone for various reasons, he is so eager to let the world know that he has returned as a king... Needless to say.
What's more, Qin Yun's mentality was not that good.
So at that moment, he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it. He was extremely embarrassed and his expression was erratic. But this expression in Ling Senran's eyes naturally had another explanation.
"Haha, you want to defeat me with just one move? How funny! You, a piece of trash, think you can do anything after practicing for a few days? Let me tell you! This place is no longer your stage! Get out of here if you know what's good for you. I'm too lazy to even do anything to a piece of trash like you..."
Chu Tianxiao watched Ling Senran speak nonsense quietly, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As expected…
It is true that villains often die from their mouths. Just as Ling Senran finished speaking, Qin Yun shouted loudly.
"Shut up!"
"Oh? What? Do you, a loser, really want to defeat me in one move? Who do you think you are? Come on, I will teach you how to respect your seniors..." Ling Senran laughed and was about to step forward. However, before he could make a move, a figure flashed like lightning and suddenly came to his side!
Bang!
Ling Senran only had time to see the afterimage of a fist filled with anger, and then he flew backwards, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood in the air before landing on the ground. The meridians in his body made a cracking sound like shattered porcelain. Although he still had a breath left, it seemed that he was most likely useless from now on...
Ling Senran opened his eyes unwillingly, looked at Qin Yun with difficulty, spat out another mouthful of blood, and said in a trembling voice: "So you are... Refining True... Eighth Level?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted and someone immediately took him downstairs to treat his injuries.
There was silence for a moment, and before anyone could exclaim in surprise or praise Qin Yun, Chu Tianxiao had already started clapping.
"Well done! Here's the reward! Five thousand!"
As he spoke, a crystal card fell from the sky, brushed past Qin Yun, and pierced into the green surface of the arena with a snap!
In just a moment, everyone's attention was diverted to this prodigal son, and the discussion began...
"One move, it really is just one move!"
"I don't know what method Qin Yun used to hide his cultivation... We couldn't see it, but this prodigal son has such a keen eye?"
"That must be the case, otherwise why would he be so optimistic about Qin Yun?"
"Miscalculated! Didn't they say that the son of Marquis Zi Yi was just a prodigal son?"
"... You should find out what happened in Tianjue City recently, and then it won't be too late to underestimate him!"
"He is the second son of the Shenhou family after all. Look at his appearance, he is still calm and composed. We were so surprised and lost our composure just now. We are really inferior to him..."
"Hey... Brother Chu is so good at predicting things. I have to admit defeat. I will pay for the bet... Uh, I forgot. Sorry, Your Highness, please accept it."
Many people in the room bowed to Chu Tianxiao, but few paid attention to the real "hero" - Qin Yun. When this scene appeared, the others didn't say anything, but the little princess Lu Mei'er was already laughing so hard that she fell forward and backward, beating Lu Xianyuan with her little hands: "Royal brother! Look at that prodigal son, he is so bad! It was obviously Qin Yun who shocked everyone, but now everyone is running to flatter that prodigal son, and no one cares about the real owner..."
Seeing this, Lu Xianyuan also smiled: "Interesting... This prodigal son's actions are really like an antelope hanging a horn without a trace... Originally, Qin Yun defeated the enemy with one move, and no one could stop him from being in the limelight, but this prodigal son can even reverse it with rogue means. The phrase 'Fight well, look at the reward' is a stroke of genius. With just one move, Qin Yun was knocked down from 'master' to 'servant', and his status was instantly lowered. Although it can't be hidden from people who understand the situation, Qin Yun has been a cripple for three years, how could so many people continue to pay attention to him? People who don't know may really misunderstand... Ha, I can only sigh that I am inferior to this kind of cunning."
"At this moment, Qin Yun must be so angry that his nose is crooked."
Lu Xianyuan's guess was correct, Qin Yun was indeed about to explode with anger at this moment!
He clenched his fists tightly, his lips trembling slightly. Just when he was about to explode, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears...
"Boy, what troubles have you encountered?"
