After looking at the first two treasures, Yuan Bichao was relieved. In his opinion, among the three treasures taken out by the Dragon Lady, the first two were rare, but they were not untraceable. With his eyesight, it did not take him much effort to guess them. This competition was really not difficult. It even made him feel that the Dragon Lady was deliberately letting him win.
"Does she also want to marry into our Yuan family, but she feels ashamed, so she deliberately loses to me?"
With this idea in mind, Yuan Bichao became more relaxed. He gently picked up the third treasure, which was a broken compass.
Among the three treasures, the compass was the easiest to be seen through at a glance. Yuan Bichao was also full of confidence. He picked it up in front of his eyes, glanced at it, and was about to speak immediately. The eyes of the cultivators below were immediately attracted by him. They all wanted to see if this cultivator from the Divine Land really had the ability to identify the three treasures in an instant. However, unexpectedly, Yuan Bichao opened his mouth but did not say anything. He let out a soft "huh", frowned, and looked at it carefully for a long time without saying anything.
The cultivators below looked at each other. Some were puzzled, and some were gloating.
The person who gloated the most was naturally Fang Xing. He laughed in his heart, "This Dragon Lady is not only coquettish, but also full of evil tricks. Compared with her, this guy surnamed Yuan is really too inexperienced. I'm afraid this time he will be deceived by her and lose his wife and soldiers …"
As expected, the more Yuan Bichao looked at the compass, the stranger his expression became. After a long time, he looked up at the Dragon Lady with a troubled expression and said hesitantly, "Your Royal Highness … this third treasure is really … really …"
Before he could express his doubts, the Dragon Lady had already taken out the hourglass with a smile and said, "There's not much time left!"
Yuan Bichao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He vaguely felt that he had fallen into a trap. Among the three treasures taken out by the Dragon Lady, the first two were precious, but he could completely identify them with his eyesight. Only the seemingly simple third treasure had a hidden trap. He thought he could see through it at a glance, but after a careful look, it was not the case at all, which put him in a dilemma.
Seeing that the crystal hourglass had flowed to the last point, Yuan Bichao could not help but look at the Dragon Lady and said hesitantly, "Princess Royal, this treasure … is simply an ordinary compass. It has lost all its Spiritual Qi and the Dharma Formation is destroyed. It can't even be regarded as a celestial device …"
The Dragon Lady seemed to think that Yuan Bichao's words were very ridiculous. She said with a smile, "My most precious third treasure is just a broken compass in your eyes? Young Master Yuan, I just praised you for your eyesight, and now you're joking with me? "
Yuan Bichao's back was drenched in sweat after he said that. He said awkwardly, "But to me, it's just an ordinary compass!"
The Dragon Lady chuckled softly. Seeing that the sand in the hourglass had flowed out, she reached for it and waved it in front of everyone. Then, she said, "It seems that Young Master Yuan has made a mistake today. I won this bet by luck. There's nothing more to say. Yin Zhu will accept this sword embryo. I have to thank Young Master Yuan for your generosity. Yin Zhu can't thank you enough, but this spiritual brew is not bad. Have a few more cups, Young Master Yuan!"
With that, she waved her sleeves and asked the sea demon maidservant to take away the treasure and the sword embryo.
Yuan Bichao's face was full of awkwardness. He vaguely felt that the Dragon Lady was like a sly fox with ill intentions. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, "One of my uncles asked me to bring this sword embryo as a betrothal gift for Miss Yin Zhu. Naturally, Miss Yin Zhu has to accept it. Other than this sword embryo, there are other meager gifts. I've already sent someone to deliver them to Glass Palace the day before yesterday …"
The Dragoness suddenly pulled a long face and said in a cold voice, "Young Master Yuan, please be careful with your words. This sword embryo was given to me by you, and Yin Zhu won it by luck. It has nothing to do with the engagement or not. Moreover, to put it bluntly, Yin Zhu has long been expelled from the Azure Waves Sea. Now, I am all alone, and neither heaven nor earth will accept me. My marriage cannot be decided by anyone, and no one can force me!"
The moment she said that, Yuan Bichao was instantly embarrassed and annoyed. He thought, What does this woman mean by saying that?
Did she accept the sword embryo without giving any promises?
He was already sure that he had fallen into this b * tch's trap. In a moment of panic, he suddenly said coldly, "Your Royal Highness is indeed thoughtful. However, I have a question. Even if that was really a bet between the two of us, I don't think I've lost. I can't recognize that compass, and others might not be able to recognize it either. I'm afraid that even the Royal Princess can't explain it …"
His words implied that the Dragon Lady had cheated. His words were rather impolite.
A cold glint flashed across the Dragon Lady's eyes when she heard that. She said coldly, "You're the one with poor eyesight, and you're blaming me for playing tricks? Hmph, if you can't recognize it, can't everyone here recognize it? Everyone, no one has obtained my Red Bedchamber Entry Token yet. Why don't we make identifying this treasure the topic? Is there anyone with good eyesight who wants to come up and appraise the third treasure? "
As she spoke, her gaze swept across the audience. No one knew what she was thinking.
Yuan Bichao was also angry and anxious. He was already angry, and when he heard the Dragon Lady mention the Red Bedchamber Entry Token again, he became even more annoyed. He also swept his gaze across the audience and said coldly, "That's not bad. Since the Royal Princess has invited us, how can we not give her face? I'd also like to see who has good eyesight and dares to come up and appraise the third treasure … "
The Dragon Lady said who "wants" to come up and appraise the third treasure, but Yuan Bichao said who "dares" to come up and appraise the third treasure. The difference of one word had changed the meaning greatly. Moreover, the undisguised murderous intent in Yuan Bichao's words made everyone feel the threat in his words. Without a doubt, regardless of whether the person on the stage could appraise the third treasure, the enmity would be formed.
After all, Yuan Bichao was a cultivator from the Divine Land. Young Island Master Zhu, who accompanied him, was from the Golden Turtle Island, a major sect of the Immortal Islands. It would be effortless for him to crush all the cultivators. Who would dare to offend him in front of him?
For a moment, the hall was silent, and no one dared to answer.
Seeing this, the Dragon Lady was infuriated. Her expression was grim as she said slowly, "Is the person I invited so cowardly?"
Fang Xing naturally would not let go of such an occasion. He shouted excitedly, "I'll do it!"
His voice was so abrupt in the silent hall that everyone in the hall immediately looked at him. Zhou Lvwei, who was beside him, had suffered too many losses. She jumped up subconsciously and pointed at Fang Xing and shouted, "It's him! It's him! It's him! "
Fang Xing stood up directly and glanced at Zhou Lvwei with disdain. He said, "Of course it's me. Do you have the guts?"
Zhou Luwei was despised, and she was suddenly speechless.
All the cultivators looked at Fang Xing with astonishment and a strange look in their eyes. They felt both surprised and a little impressed.
To be honest, all the cultivators did not have a good impression of Fang Xing. At first, he asked his maidservant to accompany him to drink with him. Later, he used his identity as a cultivator from the Divine Land to pressure him and forcefully bought the maidservant away. As the master, he did not even dare to make a sound. He had already left the impression of a coward in everyone's hearts. Moreover, he had clearly obtained the little demon's order to enter the bed, but he did not succeed and returned dejectedly. This instantly solidified the impression of "trash", "useless", and "ridiculous" in the hearts of all the cultivators.
However, at this time, all the cultivators were intimidated by Yuan Bichao and no one dared to stand up for him. However, this kid swaggered out again, which changed the cultivators' opinion of him a little. Not to mention, this guy was very bold. He seemed to be ruthless enough to risk his life for something. Of course, this "bold" impression was actually accompanied by a sense of foolishness. Didn't he know that this would cause trouble?
As he strode up to the stage, the sea snake spirit who was standing in the hall also looked at Fang Xing in surprise. It seemed that she did not expect that Fang Ritian, whom she had always looked down on, would dare to stand up at this time. For a moment, she forgot to move away. Fang Xing directly slapped her buttocks and sent her to the side. He even squinted at her and said, "Are you blind? Don't you know to make way for me?"
The sea snake spirit was angry and anxious. Her face turned red, but she did not dare to make a sound on this occasion.
"Fellow Taoist, your courage is commendable …"
Seeing that someone really dared to come up to the stage, and it was the guy who had been shouting under the stage before, Yuan Bichao narrowed his eyes and said coldly. He did not hide the murderous intent in his voice, which was as cold as if he had been fished out of an ice cave.
Fang Xing glared at him and looked at Dragon Lady, saying, "Princess, he is threatening me!"
…
…
Yuan Bichao suddenly blushed, and all the cultivators in the hall were speechless.
Everyone could see that Yuan Bichao was threatening Fang Xing, but who would say it so bluntly?
Especially Dragon Lady. After being stunned for a moment, a faint smile appeared on her face. She glanced at Fang Xing lightly, then looked at Yuan Bichao and said lightly, "Young Master Yuan, I know that the Yuan family in China is an ancient family that cannot be underestimated, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. Are you looking down on me, and yet you want to show off in front of me at the Red Meeting?"
Yuan Bichao looked a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said, "Fellow Taoist, you have misunderstood. I just admire his courage. Even I can't see through the third treasure, but this fellow Taoist dares to come up to the stage. It shows that he has good eyesight …"
Although he spoke politely, the way he looked at Fang Xing was extremely resentful.
All the cultivators in the hall felt a chill in their hearts when they saw his gaze, as if there was a blade pointing at their eyebrows.
However, Fang Xing did not notice it at all. He chuckled and said, "You're stupid if you can't see it, but it doesn't mean that I can't see it!"
How dare he call me stupid!
Yuan Bichao was so angry that he laughed. Now that he had made up his mind to kill him, he simply sat in front of the table and sneered. "Then please!"
