A guard hurried forward and whispered a few words into the young man's ear.
The young man's gaze flickered as he lifted his head to look at Yun Yang with a smile, saying, "This young master thought that … you're no ordinary person after all. Young Master Yun, it's an honor to meet you. "
Yun Yang wore a surprised expression. "Huh?"
The young man in blue still spoke in a slow tone as if everything was within his grasp. He smiled and said, "The young master of Marquis Xiaoyao, beyond the heavens. You're famous in Tiantang City … Since Young Master Yun has such an identity, this young master doesn't have to worry about the wager this time." Yun Yang's pupils shrunk. "You investigated me?"
"It's not really an investigation. It's just that knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory." The young man in blue said, "I wonder what Young Marquis Yun is willing to bet with me?"
Yun Yang frowned, looking hesitant.
The young man in blue wore a disdainful smirk as he said, "Since Young Master Yun has asked to bet with this young master, it can't be that … you don't even have a wager to offer?"
Yun Yang raised his eyebrows. "We'll bet a million …"
The young man in blue laughed mockingly and interrupted him, saying, "We're all martial artists. There's really nothing to bet on like gold and silver. Let's bet on something else."
The other two young masters could not help but burst out laughing.
It was always a delight to see the young master in blue use various methods to force others into a corner, yet unable to do anything about it. In the end, they could only submit.
It was the same today.
Obviously, this young master of Marquis Xiaoyao in Tiantang City had been pushed to a dead end by his friend.
Even if he had to go bankrupt, he had to maintain his dignity.
Yun Yang hesitated and said, "If that's the case, young master's bet is too big and it might hurt our relationship. How about … we stop here?"
How could the young man in blue agree? A big fish was about to take the bait, how could he allow him to escape? His expression darkened as he said coldly, "Is Young Master Yun looking down on me? I'll bet when you say so; I'll stop now when you say no? Even if Young Master Yun holds a high position in the Empire of Yutang, you can't play with people like this … "
He narrowed his eyes and enunciated each word clearly, "Moreover … I, Ximen Wandai, am not someone you can toy with, Young Master Yun."
Ximen Wandai.
In the end, he still said his name.
Yun Yang nodded as if he knew nothing and said, "So it's Young Master Ximen. It looks like Young Master Ximen is determined to gamble?"
However, his heart shuddered.
West Gate. Hmm, the world's eight great clans, north, south, east, west, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It seemed that Ximen Wandai was a member of the Ximen clan.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Ximen Wandai say proudly, "Even if I don't want to, I have to!"
How could he let Yun Yang go now that he had forced Yun Yang to a dead end?
Ximen Wandai could not help but feel a little proud of his own methods. Of course he was in the wrong at first. It was completely unreasonable of him to butt in when someone else wanted to buy something.
However, as he spoke, he realized that he was so eloquent that he was actually moving in an unexpected direction step by step. Furthermore, he wanted to gamble … Wasn't this an obvious opportunity to reap benefits?
He waved his hand and said mockingly, "Why? Could it be that Young Master Yun … can't afford to gamble?" What he meant was, "You proposed a bet and I accepted it, but you don't dare to gamble?"
Yun Yang's face flushed red as he said angrily, "Who can't afford to gamble? Whatever you want to bet, this young master will accept it! "
You've fallen for this young master's provocation.
Ximen Wandai was overjoyed. Borrowing Yun Yang's impulsive words, he said directly, "This young master can offer a seventh grade mystical pill, a hundred mystical stones, and a treasured saber, Phoenix's Cry, one of the seven swords and three sabers forged by the foremost blacksmith Ou Hunzi a thousand years ago … However, what does Young Master Yun offer to gamble with me?"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
A seventh grade mystical pill! If the mystical pill of a seventh grade mystical beast were to be calculated in gold, it would be worth at least a million. As for the mystical stones, they were the ultimate supplement for a mystical cultivator's cultivation. The energy within a mystical stone could be absorbed within three days, and after that, it was equivalent to a year of closed-door cultivation! This was even more of a priceless treasure.
As for the seven swords and three sabers forged by Ou Hunzi, they were universally recognized as divine weapons. Among them, the Merak Sword was the Empire of Dongxuan's national treasure. One could only imagine the value of the seven swords and three sabers.
Each of these three items was a treasure that most people in this world would not even see once in their lifetime! What would Yun Yang use to gamble?
Yun Yang's gaze was filled with hesitation.
He was also slightly shocked.
It was true. Because he didn't expect that this guy would make the bet so big. To him, this was simply a windfall from the sky!
If so, he might as well play a big one as well.
Looking at Yun Yang's shock, Ximen Wandai was even more pleased.
"What do you think, Young Master Yun?" Ximen Wandai said slowly, "If Young Master Yun only chooses one of them to gamble with, it doesn't matter."
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath and said, "These things are not enough!"
Ximen Wandai and his two companions were stunned. These things are not enough?
You are merely the son of a Marquis from a secular country, what good things can you offer?
Yun Yang seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I will use a ninth level mystical beast's cub to gamble with you! These things are not worth enough! "
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath, knowing that he would become the center of a whirlpool the moment he uttered these words. But he did not turn back.
Was he betting just to win something? Hmph …
A ninth level mystical beast's cub!
Even Ximen Wandai felt his scalp tingle from the shock of these words.
This was a legendary ninth level mystical beast! Whether it was in the forest or in human society, it was a king that stood at the top of the pyramid!
"You have a ninth level mystical beast's cub?" Ximen Wandai's gaze turned heated. The faint greed in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Of course." Yun Yang seemed a little regretful, "But if you don't dare to gamble, then …"
"I'll gamble!" Ximen Wandai cut him off abruptly, his eyes burning, "But where is your ninth level mystical beast cub?"
Even the weakest ninth level mystical beast was an invincible presence among ordinary human experts.
Where was the ninth level mystical beast?
Yun Yang almost laughed in his heart.
He wanted very much to say that it was in the basket right before him.
These kittens were …
These little fellows had somehow fallen to this place and were born weak. But before they came here, their parents had placed a seal on their bodies, making it impossible for others to identify them.
As long as they are in my hands, I can restore them to their original state within a night and turn them into a priceless ninth level mystical beast cub.
"If Young Master Ximen believes me, then let's gamble." Yun Yang said faintly, "Although the ninth level mystical beast cub is not in my hands now, if I say I have it, then I have it."
He lifted his head and smiled, "If I'm lying, I'm afraid I can't bear the Ximen Family's vengeance."
Ximen Wandai's eyes shone as he said coldly, "It's good that you know!"
Ximen Wandai did not doubt Yun Yang's words at all.
Now, it was his turn to fret.
What could possibly be worth the value of a ninth level mystical beast cub?
The seventh level mystical pill, a hundred mystical stones, and a saber that he had mentioned earlier were obviously not enough.
These could allow a person to develop rapidly, but that was all. Compared to a ninth level mystical beast, it was insignificant. His Ximen Family had been able to become one of the eight noble families because one of the elders of the family had a ninth level pinnacle mystical beast as his combat partner.
This was how the foundation of the Ximen Family's rise had been laid.
Now, the Ximen Family was close to one thousand and five hundred years old!
Even a hundred eighth level pinnacle mystical beasts could not compare to a ninth level beginner mystical beast!
This was the suppression of a level, and the law of nature could not be changed.
If he could possess a ninth level mystical beast cub, then it would not only be a matter of him becoming the number one seed in the family, but the entire Ximen Family would gradually grow stronger and become the top of the eight noble families of the continent, perhaps even to the next level!
Ximen Wandai's gaze was fiery.
Beside him, the expressions of the two young masters who were originally his companions changed as well.
As the younger generation of the same family, how could they not know the importance of a ninth level mystical beast?
If Ximen Wandai were to obtain a ninth level mystical beast …
Their gazes towards Yun Yang turned dangerous.
"I'll offer two seventh level mystical beast cores!" Ximen Wandai's gaze was close to insanity. "Five hundred mystical stones, thirty mystical crystals, a treasured saber of the Seven Swords and Three Sabers, and … a promise to guarantee the safety of the Yun Family! This promise, no matter if I win or lose the bet, is absolutely valid! I can swear to the heavens and earth! "
The mystical pills had doubled, the mystical stones had quadrupled, and he had even added thirty mystical crystals. One had to know that the value of a mystical crystal was comparable to a hundred mystical stones! They could not be compared at all.
This Young Master Ximen Wandai had obviously given his all.
Even Ji Ling, who was hiding in the dark, was impressed by his words.
This Young Master Ximen Wandai was not a brainless person after all.
Yun Yang had been goaded by him into revealing the ninth level mystical beast; he would probably become the target of public criticism next. The issue of safety was the biggest issue. Everything that Ximen Wandai had said earlier could not compare to the value of a ninth level mystical beast. However, with the promise to guarantee the safety of the Yun Family, it was a match.
It was evident that Ximen Wandai's mind was still very sharp, and he was able to grasp the main point.
Ji Ling sighed deeply. It's a pity that you have no hope of winning at all! The more you bet, the more it proves that Yun Yang will win.
However, where would Yun Yang get a ninth level mystical beast?
Ji Ling felt that it was time for Yun Yang to relent.
Indeed.
Yun Yang took a deep breath, a radiant smile appearing on his face as he said, "I accept the bet!"
All the bait that could be thrown had been thrown out, and the benefits that could be obtained had basically been dug out to the lowest level. The additional goal that he had wanted to achieve had also been achieved.
