Right now, there's a chance for you to clear your name. Do you want it? "Ying Feiyang said temptingly.
Lu Tianlan remained calm. "Just say what you want to say. Don't waste my time!"
Ying Feiyang said, "I want to make a bet with you. If you lose, you have to lend me a treasure you don't need …"
"What a joke. You think I'll lose?" Lu Tianlan frowned and cut him off. "What are you betting on? Are you going to fight her? "
"Did you not hear me? I'm the one who's betting with you!" Ying Feiyang corrected him. "It's my side that proposed a rematch with the Holy Daughter. You have to defeat me first in order to have a rematch with the Holy Daughter."
Lu Tianlan scoffed. "Why go through so much trouble? If you want to bet, why don't you let this Buddhist Heavenly Lady bet with me? Using such a troublesome method proves that even she knows she has no chance of winning against me! "
Lu Tianlan was right, but Ying Feiyang wouldn't admit it. He smiled. "The Heavenly Lady isn't a bandit. She can't just fight and kill. What do you think? Do you want this chance or not?"
Lu Tianlan rejected him. "Unfortunately, I'm not interested in your bet. You know who's stronger and who's weaker. As for what others think and say, I don't care!"
"Huh? You don't care? Alright then … "Ying Feiyang raised an eyebrow. He suddenly looked like he was asking for a beating. He shouted," Lu Tianlan lost! Everyone, look! Lu Tianlan lost to the Heavenly Lady! He was hung up and beaten by the Heavenly Lady, then thrown into prison! He lost, he lost! He's utterly defeated! He can't even beat a little girl! He's so weak! "
Ying Feiyang's hands turned into a loudspeaker as he shouted at Lu Tianlan. Even the Heavenly Lady Ling Xin couldn't bear to watch him like this. She silently chanted a mind-clearing incantation.
"Enough!" At first, Skymist pretended that she didn't care, but in the end, she couldn't help but lose her rationality. Ying Feiyang hurriedly jumped back and put a safe distance between them. He smiled and said, "Don't the Six Thieves not care about the noise of the crows?"
Lu Tianlan glared at him fiercely, spat out a mouthful of murky air and said, "Alright, I can bet. However, the stakes have to change. If I win, the Buddhist Sect will release Yu Qingyi who is imprisoned in the Prison of Oblivion!"
Ying Feiyang also knew that Tian Lan was deeply in love with Yu Qingyi, one of the Seven Evils. After knowing that Yu Qingyi had been captured, he had barged into Buddha Heart Monastery multiple times in an attempt to rescue her. He then shook his head and said, "Six Bandits, the stakes have to be equal for a bet to be successful. However, to borrow a treasure that you can't use for two days, you want the Buddhist Sect to bet Yu Qingyi's freedom. Aren't you seeing Yu Qingyi's weight? Moreover, how can it be up to me to decide the matters of the Buddhist sect? "
Tian Lan sneered and said, "Oh, is that so? A man and a woman going out to sea together. I think it won't be long before you can be the one in charge of the Buddhist Sect. However, where is the little flower demon from the Sky Incense Valley? Has she been heartlessly abandoned by you, or are you planning to have two beauties in your arms? "
"Cough cough!" Ying Feiyang hurriedly coughed twice and said angrily, "Tian Lan! You are a Roc, not a parrot. Why do you only know how to gossip and spread rumors all day long! "As he finished, he inadvertently glanced at the Heavenly Lady.
However, Heavenly Lady Ling Xin's face turned red for a moment, but she quickly recovered. Ying Feiyang almost thought that it was an illusion. Then, the Heavenly Lady said indifferently, "Six Thieves, as Brother Ying said, the stakes have to be equal for a bet to be successful. However, a straw can be exchanged for gold after repeated transactions. If you win Brother Ying, you can get a chance to bet with me. However, if you can come up with a sufficient stake, I can represent the Buddhist Sect to bet Yu Qingyi's freedom."
"Betting for a bet? Alright! " Tian Lan's eyes lit up. He said to Ying Feiyang, "Young Ying, how do you want to bet? Tell me about it."
Ying Feiyang said, "It's simple. Since you are known as the World Thief, I'll bet on whether you can steal something from my hands."
Tian Lan raised his eyebrows, "Interesting. What do you want to steal?"
"If you want to steal something …" As Ying Feiyang spoke, he rummaged through his luggage and took out a token. He said, "I'll take this. This is my token from Ling Xiao Sword School. Now that I've been expelled from the school, I won't feel bad if you steal it."
Tian Lan spat, "Do you think I want it?"
Ying Feiyang continued, "Every token only belongs to one person. Although there doesn't seem to be much difference from the outside, if the owner of the token infuses his vital energy into it, his name will appear."
As Ying Feiyang spoke, he infused his vital energy into the token. As expected, the cloud patterns on the token seemed to come alive. A faint fluorescent light pieced together the words' Ying Feiyang '. "Only the owner of the token can make his name appear, so it's used by Ling Xiao Sword School to identify one's identity. It's hard to fake. Thief Six, what do you think? "
Ying Feiyang raised his hand and tossed the token into Tian Lan's hand. Tian Lan caught the token and looked at it a few times before tossing it back to Ying Feiyang. He said, "Sure, I'll take this. What about the other rules?"
Ying Feiyang took back the token and played with it in his hand as he continued, "The time limit is three days. Three days later, the Langya Sea Market will open, and the gong will be used as the signal to mark the official opening of the market. The gong will be used as the signal. If the token is still with me before the gong is sounded, then I win. Otherwise, you lose!"
Tian Lan frowned and said, "Three days … What about the location? Three days is too long. If you use all the time to escape, it won't be easy for me to find you in the vast sea. Or if you hide in a secret chamber of some sect, it'll be hard for me to find you! "
Ying Feiyang said, "Don't worry about that. Including this island, the islands in the southeast, southwest, and northwest, we'll form the Four Eastern Ring Islands. The distance between the four islands is no more than three miles, and each island is at most ten acres. There's not much spiritual energy on the islands, so there's no grotto-heaven or sects. We won't be disturbed!"
"Alright, then it'll be limited to these four islands!" The smaller the area, the better it was for him. Tian Lan naturally agreed, and then said, "There's one more condition. The token must be with you. You can't hide it anywhere else, and you can't throw it away. Otherwise, if you throw it into the sea, I won't be able to play anymore!"
Ying Feiyang nodded and said, "Of course. I've already said that I'll only win if the token is still with me when the gong rings! Also, I need to hide an hour before the start of the battle. There's a lake in the center of the island, and during this hour, you need to hide at the bottom of the lake. You can't peek or eavesdrop on my movements. "
"No problem, although I hate going into the water." Tian Lan agreed again. "Are there any other conditions?"
"That's all."
"Then I'll add another condition." Tian Lan pointed at Ling Xin and said, "I'm betting with you, and it has nothing to do with her. She can't help you in any way."
Ying Feiyang smiled and said, "Of course. The Holy Daughter is the judge this time. She'll supervise both of us and make sure we don't break the rules. She won't take sides. "
"Oh? Is that so? "Tian Lan said doubtfully.
Ling Xin nodded and said with a solemn expression, "Of course. I swear in my name that I'll only be the judge for this bet. I'll be impartial and be the fairest judge."
"Hmph, the Buddhist Sect's justice!" Tian Lan had a deep grudge against the Buddhist Sect, so he mocked her disdainfully. However, he knew that Ling Xin swore in the name of all the previous Holy Daughters, so she wouldn't go back on her word. In the end, he didn't say anything more. "Alright, then it's settled. Can we start the bet now?"
Ying Feiyang played with the token as it kept changing directions between his fingers. Suddenly, he flicked his finger and the token flew into the Holy Daughter's hand. He smiled and said, "Don't rush. For the sake of fairness, Holy Daughter, before we start the bet, I'll have to trouble you to erase the tracking mark that the Six Thieves left on the token."
Goddess Ling Xin took the token and examined it carefully. She found that there was indeed a tracking spell imprint on the token. A look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes. Only then did she realize that Lu Tianlan had already made preparations before the conditions were settled. He had left a mark on the token while he was examining it. As she wiped away the imprint, she thought worriedly, 'This Lu Tianlan is indeed worthy of his title as a bandit. He looks rough, but he's actually very meticulous. Will Young Master Ying really be able to win this bet?'
Tian Lan's expression remained the same even though he was seen through. He said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Your eyes have become much sharper. You can even see through this."
Ying Feiyang smiled and said, "I didn't see it. I'm just guessing. If it were me, I would have done the same."
Tian Lan also smiled and said, "Haha, it looks like this bet will be more interesting than I thought."
