Chapter 1266: Baller Palace Lord
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The bets below were too loud, so the spectators naturally heard them.
The Palace Lord curled her lips. “Ling Yin, bet 5,000 taels of silver on the successor of the Jin family!”
Ling Yin whispered, “Palace Lord, are you sure? If you lose…”
The Palace Lord said, “The Hundred Flowers Palace has plenty of money. We can afford it!”
The Assassin Alliance did not bet on this round.
It was not that they did not have money, but in their opinion, there was no need to bet on such a disparity in strength. There was no suspense at all.
Xiahou Qing did not bet. He was the dealer.
“Who did Jin’er bet on?” he asked his adopted son, Xie Jinnian.
Xie Jinnian said warmly, “The descendant of the Jin family.”
“Oh?” Xiahou Qing was a little surprised. “Why her?”
Xie Jinnian said, “Her medical skills are not bad.”
Xiahou Qing said, “It’s not about medical skills in the arena.”
Xie Jinnian smiled without saying anything.
Xiahou Qing glanced at him and said, “You’re more willful than your brothers.”
Second Brother was the gentlest of the brothers. He was obedient and got along well with others.
His uniqueness would only be revealed inadvertently.
Like now.
Saintess Red Lotus clearly had victory in hand, but he insisted on betting on the successor of the Jin family to win.
Ji Minglou and Madam Ji also placed a bet.
Madam Ji bet 1,000 taels of Red Lotus Saintess.
When she saw Ji Minglou bet 1,000 taels of silver on the descendant of the Jin family, her face turned green.
He knew that he would lose, but he still bet!
A thousand taels was a small sum for Heavenly Jade Hall, but she just couldn’t stand Ji Minglou’s unwillingness to give up on Yun Shuang.
Chu Feifeng sat beside Madam Ji and poured her a cup of cold tea.
She was actually a little worried about her sister-in-law.
She had been on the island longer than her sister-in-law and had seen Saintess Red Lotus sparring with the disciples of the Heavenly Jade Hall. Saintess Red Lotus was indeed a rare martial arts genius among her peers.
At the observatory next door, the Palace Lord asked Ling Yin to invite Granny Nie over.
The few of them greeted Granny Nie.
Granny Nie sat down.
Lu Aotian said, “Granny Ghost, I saw that you placed a bet just now. How much did you bet?”
Granny Nie asked, “How much did you bet?”
Lu Aotian waved his hand. “I don’t have money, so I bet 500 taels.”
Ling Yin asked curiously, “But when I went to bet for my Palace Lord just now, I saw that there was 250 taels behind your name. Who did you bet on with the other 250 taels?”
Lu Aotian cleared his throat. “Ahem, I bet on Saintess Red Lotus.”
Ling Yin was speechless.
Ling Yin glared at Lu Aotian in disdain.
Xing’er ignored him and took back the jelly beans she had fried for him.
“Hey!”
Lu Aotian went to snatch the jelly beans but missed.
“Granny, how much did you bet?” Ling Yin asked.
Granny Nie said calmly, “Not much, 2,000 taels.”
Ling Yin finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Including the bet by the Palace Lord, Second Young Madam has more than 7,000 taels…”
Granny Nie said, “I bet on Saintess Red Lotus.”
Ling Yin was speechless.
And so was everyone else.
Su Xiaoxiao knew nothing about everyone betting.
Saintess Red Lotus’s posture on the stage just now was handsome and valiant. It was obvious that she had top-notch qinggong.
She would not snatch the limelight from her.
One who knew how to race would not compare her shortcomings to the other party’s strengths.
Su Xiaoxiao put on her veil and walked up the stage from the steps at the back.
This action attracted a commotion around.
“This so-called descendant of the Jin family doesn’t even know qinggong!”
“You even learned to wear a veil like Saintess Red Lotus. Are you so ugly that you can’t see anyone?”
“Nonsense, Saintess Red Lotus is clearly as beautiful as a fairy!”
“I meant her! I didn’t say that about Saintess Red Lotus! Of course I know that Saintess Red Lotus is good-looking! She’s second only to the number one beauty, Xiahou Yanyu!”
“In my heart, Saintess Red Lotus is the number one beauty of Thousand Mountain Island.”
Everyone gradually went astray.
Saintess Red Lotus looked at Su Xiaoxiao who walked onto the stage with disdain. “You’re the successor of the Jin family?”
“Yes,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Saintess Red Lotus had seen Su Xiaoxiao before. At the one-month-old banquet in the City Lord Manor not long ago, Su Xiaoxiao was not wearing a veil.
However, her aura did not change. Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao did not deliberately hide her identity. It had long spread.
Saintess Red Lotus mocked, “I was wondering, how can a small-time medicine woman marry the second young master of the Hundred Flower Palace?”
Su Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile, “You sound a little envious. Why? Do you want to marry into the Hundred Flowers Palace too?”
Saintess Red Lotus said coldly, “Stop talking nonsense.”
With that, her gaze landed on the soft whip at Su Xiaoxiao’s waist. “I’ve seen this whip before.”
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the soft whip with her silver-lined hand. “It’s the whip that lacerated your skin. So you still recognize it.”
When the Saintess left the Hundred Flowers Palace, she did not take this whip with her.
Saintess Red Lotus’ expression darkened, she raised her sword and said, “Cut the crap, die!”
“Wait!”
Su Xiaoxiao reached out and gestured for her to stop.
Saintess Red Lotus looked at her with a frown.
Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at the four elders of the City Lord Manor in front of the arena. “May I ask if you can use any weapons in the arena?”
Elder Li said, “Sure.”
“What about the hidden weapons?”
“Yes.”
“What about poison?”
“Yes.”
“What about Gu worms?”
“Sure!”
“Mice?”
“…Okay!”
Elder Li could not hold it in anymore. What kind of nonsense was this?
“Anything you can bring on stage is fine!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the observation platform of the Flower Palace. “Dad!”
Wei Xu stood up quietly.
Elder Li was speechless!
Elder Li took a deep breath and suppressed his temper. “You can’t bring a human up!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky. “Oh.”
Saintess Red Lotus laughed mockingly: “Since you have so little confidence in yourself, why don’t I give you three moves?”
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression turned serious. “You said it. You can’t go back on your word!”
Saintess Red Lotus was stunned.
This girl’s expression changed a little quickly…
However, it did not matter. This girl did not even know qinggong and did not have internal strength. Not to mention three moves, she would not be able to win with ten moves!
The gong sounded, and the competition began.
“The first move!”
Su Xiaoxiao raised the soft whip in her hand and waved it at Saintess Red Lotus.
“This first move is a little impressive.”
A disciple watching the battle below said.
Another disciple said, “Could she really have some skills?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Saintess Red Lotus easily dodged.
Saintess Red Lotus said disdainfully, “Flowery.”
“The second move!”
Su Xiaoxiao lashed out even faster than before.
However, she still did not even touch the corner of Saintess Red Lotus’ clothes.
Saintess Red Lotus was like a light swallow, and she was that clumsy duck. No matter how hard she tried, she could not hurt Saintess Red Lotus at all.
Her third whip finally sealed off Saintess Red Lotus’ escape route, making it impossible for her to dodge.
But so what?
Saintess Red Lotus sneered and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s soft whip. “As the descendant of the Jin family and the Young Madam of the Hundred Flowers Palace, is this all you can do? You’ve made me lose the mood to play. Forget it, I’ll send you down!”
With that, she pulled Su Xiaoxiao over with the whip.
The longsword in her other hand stabbed fiercely at Su Xiaoxiao’s stomach!
