Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All Novel - Chapter 291
291 Afraid of Being Angered to Death
Fairy Hua Yun did not want to continue talking to Dong Xi. She was afraid of being angered to death.
After Hua Yun left, the people from Hundred Flower Valley also hurriedly left.
The arena was silent for a moment before deafening cheers erupted. The disciples of the Ningtian Sect were the loudest.
Apart from Dong Xi, who was a disciple of the Ningtian Sect, the rest of the people were cheering because most of them bet a few spirit stones on Dong Xi…
!!
Therefore, these people’s cheers were the most genuine, and those who placed their bets all started talking.
“If I knew this would happen, I would have bet more!”
“You’re not the only one who’s regretting it. I regret it too! I only bet five low-grade spirit stones.”
“It’s too late for you to regret not believing in Dong Xi.”
“So, you’ve placed a lot of bets?”
“Not much, just two middle-grade spirit stones. I made a little bit of money.”
…
There were all sorts of comments. In fact, when everyone placed their bets, they did not expect Dong Xi to win.
No matter how powerful Dong Xi was, her cultivation level was still low. She was at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement stage, and even in the Ningtian Sect sect, she had only come to participate in the competition because he was ranked 100th.
Among all the disciples who came to participate in the competition, Dong Xi’s cultivation was amongst the weakest.
Dong Xi’s victory was a complete surprise. The odds were 1 to 27, and this allowed people who placed bets on her to earn some money.
Someone suddenly thought of something and immediately said, “That’s not right. When I placed my bet, I remember it was 1 to 42. How did it become 1 to 27? What kind of ruthless person was she to have such foresight?”
Dong Xi smiled faintly and left the arena without showing off.
She immediately went to collect the money. Dong Xi ran to the place where he placed the bet and saw Xiong Ye there.
Xiong Ye happily gave over 100 low-grade spirit stones to Dong Xi. Xiong Ye said, “Junior Sister, look, so many of them are yours.”
As Xiong Ye spoke, he did not forget to count. Xiong Ye happily continued, “Junior sister, can you still win the next round? I’ll continue to bet on you.”
Dong Xi did not dare to speak blindly. After all, she did not even know who ger next opponent would be, so she did not dare to say anything.
“Senior Brother, with my cultivation level, it’s already an opportunity for me to win one round. If I encounter someone above the tenth level of Qi Refinement stage in the second round…”
Xiong Ye understood and helplessly said, “It’s okay, don’t feel pressured. Next time, I’ll bet five low-grade spirit stones. It doesn’t matter if I win or lose.”
Dong Xi nodded. This was for the best. Small gambles were good for lifting the mood, while big gambles were dangerous.
If her Senior Brother rashly placed a big bet and lost… Forget spirit stones, he might have to pay with his precious treasured sword.
As the two of them were chatting, a familiar voice said from behind, “What are you guys doing?”
Dong Xi turned around and saw that it was his Eldest Senior Brother Liang Yan, who was staring at the two of them as if they had done something dirty.
“Junior Sister, I’ll take my leave first. It’ll be my turn to go up the stage in a while,” Xiong Ye immediately said.
Dong Xi looked at the light screen not far away. Xiong Ye still had five more matches. Why was he in such a hurry? It was obvious that he was running away.
Dong Xi sighed in his heart. She turned around and said with a careful look, “E-Eldest Senior Brother.”
Liang Yan immediately saw through Dong Xi. He said, “Stop pretending. Just tell me. I won’t fall for your tricks.”
Dong Xi was silent for a moment and started to think. Eldest Senior Brother was also like this, right? Did he change too quickly?
Seeing Dong Xi’s thoughtful look, Liang Yan said, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go and tell Song Qingfeng in a bit.”
Dong Xi was speechless.
If Second Senior Brother knew that Dong Xi had shamelessly placed a bet on herself, wouldn’t he ridicule her to death?
Dong Xi immediately said, “Please don’t, Eldest Senior Brother. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you need to snitch on us? Second Senior Brother’s cultivation is already so difficult. There’s no need to tell him about such a small matter.”
A hint of impatience flashed across Liang Yan’s face, but his eyes glowed as he said, “Then hurry up and say it.”
If he did not hear wrongly, Dong Xi and Xiong Ye were talking about some spirit stones…
Dong Xi sighed helplessly and told him about how someone had placed a bet on her, and how she earned a portion of spirit stones.
When Liang Yan heard Dong Xi’s words, he immediately became excited.
Liang Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, “I didn’t even know there were such practices.”
Dong Xi waved her hand and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, you’ve been working hard in your cultivation. You rarely pay attention to the outside world. It’s normal for you to not know about such things. It was Senior Brother Xiong Ye who told me about it.”
“Where can I place a bet?” Liang Yan asked.
Dong Xi was just about to go collect the spirit stones. She said, “Senior Brother, follow me. We’ll be there in a moment.”
