Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 245: Chapter 124 Qiao Hongyan: Come a little closer, can I really eat you up (ten thousand words, please subscribe)_2

Zheng Chuan glanced at the arena with a sardonic smile and said, “Yes, he won the face for White Tiger Hall, naturally, his prestige rises above ours.”

“What does it matter that we’ve worked our tails off for White Tiger Hall for over a decade, it can’t compare to his single bet!”

Feng Xuan looked at Zheng Chuan and said, “Second Brother, you seem to hold some resentment, huh?”

“Resentment, heh, what resentment would I have? White Tiger Hall has nothing to do with me. You’re the eldest; you’re the one who will inherit White Tiger Hall.”

“Heh, but adoptive father prefers you, doesn’t he?”

Feng Xuan looked at Zheng Chuan, who said, “Prefer me? He prefers you.”

...

The two exchanged glances, then simultaneously fell silent and turned their gaze to the arena. But from now on, it’s very likely that he will favor Fifth Brother even more since in this bet, Fifth Brother pulled White Tiger Hall back from the brink of death and death.

It’s as if he has rebuilt White Tiger Hall.

Elevating his reputation to the highest.

Moreover, the adoptive father also passed the “Stone Breaking Hand” to Fifth Brother. Even they have not been taught this Stone Breaking Hand, and everyone in White Tiger Hall has been saying privately that whoever learns the Stone Breaking Hand will be the next White Tiger Hall Master!

The two no longer spoke, listening to disciples calling out behind them: “Fifth Master.”

The pair seemed to sink into the night.

However, when Chen Jie’s gaze fell upon them, both of them showed a smile, like a spring breeze that hid any sign of trouble.

This was their jianghu demeanor, never put your affairs out in the open.

White Tiger Hall erupted in excited cheers, while at this moment, Beggar Sect was deflated like frost-bitten eggplants. Zhou Peng’s face was iron blue; he lost, he actually lost.

He did not mind being outsmarted with a Tian Ji’s horse racing strategy, but that Chen Jiusi managed to kill Feng San was something Zhou Peng had never anticipated. How could Chen Jiusi be so incredibly strong in combat?

And with the death of Feng San, his Beggar Sect’s ambition to grow into a major guild had vanished.

He had not expected the meticulously planned grand strategy of Beggar Sect for many years to fall apart here.

Chen Jiusi!

At this moment, Zhou Peng stared fiercely at Chen Jie, who paid him no heed.

Then, he drew his long spear and flicked off the blood, securing it in hand.

Clatter!

And as the spear was withdrawn, Feng San’s body also thumped onto the ground.

Chen Jie casually pocketed Feng San’s golden knife from the ground.

This knife was said to be made of gold, but who knows if that’s true.

However, the knife looked pretty good, so he kept it for himself.

At this time, Sun Bu’er approached the roaring crowd onto the platform and shouted with all her might, “Ladies and gentlemen, I announce, in this round of the bet, White Tiger Hall, Chen Jiusi wins!”

“Oh!”

Upon hearing this, the audience below cheered loudly.

Sun Bu’er continued, “Since it’s a two-out-of-three contest, and White Tiger Hall has won twice, the final victor is White Tiger Hall!”

“According to the rules set before this bet, if White Tiger Hall loses, they must give up the control of Yongchang, Peace, and Big Vegetable Market streets, but if Beggar Sect loses, they must give up the entire territory of Nan Lake. So starting now, Nan Lake belongs to White Tiger Hall!”

At these words, the audience below gasped in shock.

They had not realized the bet involved such high stakes.

No wonder many people said this competition would affect the foundation of both guilds; they were initially skeptical, but now that it’s all laid out, everyone understood this was no joke.

They’d placed such heavy private bets!

Wagering their own reputations.

The three streets of White Tiger Hall, Yongchang, Peace, and Big Vegetable Market, if handed over, would leave White Tiger Hall with only Tiger Head Street to make a living. How would they support five or six hundred guild members? It would naturally fall apart.

After all, the guild disciples of jianghu had families to provide for, and if they couldn’t earn enough to eat, why would they stay with the guild?

So White Tiger Hall truly faced a life-and-death situation.

And this, Peng Shizhong had not disclosed, for fear of putting too much pressure on the guild members, which they may not have been able to handle.

But now they had won.

And what they won was the entire Nan Lake, a region not valuable for its land, but for the illicit salt production there.

It was a gold mine.

Beggar Sect relied on this Nan Lake to get rich, and they put this up as a stake in the bet and lost. Indeed, it was a high-stakes gamble!

At this moment, on the observation platform.

Peng Shizhong looked at the old beggar cheerfully and said, “Old Leader, you’re not someone who can’t afford to lose, right?”

The old beggar glanced at Peng Shizhong and replied, “This old man can bear the loss!”

“Good, starting tomorrow, White Tiger Hall will take over Nan Lake.”

The old beggar retorted, “Hmph, why wait for tomorrow when I can give it to you today.”

After stating this, the old beggar said, “If there’s nothing else, I won’t stay any longer, farewell!”

The Old Leader stormed off angrily, today was a thorough defeat. Before leaving, he cast a final glance at Chen Jiusi standing on the platform.

It was this young man who ruined his plan.

After saying that, he led the Beggar Sect members away.

Once the old beggar departed, the onlookers also began to gradually leave.

Qiao Hongyan stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

With that, she stepped down from the viewing platform, while Chen Jie also descended the arena.

He was talking with Lu Rong, who said excitedly, “Fifth Brother, you really kept yourself under the radar. You really made a name for yourself today!”

“Is that right, Big Brother, Second Brother?”

Lu Rong looked at Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan, who immediately smiled and said, “Indeed, Jiusi is a prodigy. White Tiger Hall’s future depends on you now.”
