Chapter 21 Little Mouse, Old Fox, We All Have a Bright Future
"Referee, I concede this match!"
"Wang Ye, are you sure?"
"Senior Brother Wude, I'm sure."
"But you've beaten that kid to a pulp."
After speaking, Wang Ye scratched his head, looked at Zhang Chulan not far away, whose face was bruised and swollen, and looked disheveled. He shrugged inwardly, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
He originally just wanted to go through the motions and mix in the pickled vegetables from Longhu Mountain, but before the competition started, his senior brother asked him to give Zhang Chulan a good beating.
So, I just did it on a whim!
Meanwhile, the audience in the stands were buzzing with discussion.
"Although Wang Ye beat up Bi Lian, I still want to beat them both up again."
Me too.
"A complete cover-up, absolutely a complete cover-up!"
"I thought Bi Lian was shameless enough, but I never expected Wang Ye to be like this too! My wife's dowry!"
"This guy has no shame, he keeps pushing the boundaries, I can't take it anymore, I have to fuck him! I absolutely have to fuck him!"
……
The process was tortuous, but the result was accurate.
Zhang Chulan forced a smile and looked at the referee from the Celestial Master's Mansion not far away:
"Master Dao, aren't you going to announce the results yet?"
After Zhang Chulan reminded them, the Celestial Master's Mansion referee, who was already somewhat confused, confirmed Wang Ye's attitude several times before announcing the results of the competition.
"Wang Ye vs. Zhang Chulan, Zhang Chulan wins!"
As the verdict was announced, Wu De added, "Ladies and gentlemen, no one is allowed to interfere with the competition or affect the contestants. As for what happens on this ground after the competition... our Celestial Master's Mansion will not concern itself with that... Please proceed as you see fit!"
It's clear that Longhu Mountain has been suffering under Zhang Chulan's thumb for a long time!
By reiterating the rules of the Celestial Master's Mansion in front of everyone, it was clear to everyone with eyes that it was time to take action.
What the hell!
Wang Ye admitted defeat himself, so why the hell are you coming to me?
Upon hearing the Celestial Master's Mansion referee's additional words, Zhang Chulan's expression instantly changed. Looking around, he saw that many spectators who understood the explanation had already jumped down from the stands, including many familiar faces he had eliminated during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river...
After waiting for so many days, the opportunity has finally arrived!
"Geneva, refund!"
"Kill Bi Lian, eliminate this disgrace to the world of supernatural beings!"
"Don't forget about Wang Ye. That kid threw the match. Brothers, don't let him get away with it."
Damn, this is going to be bad!
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he made a hasty escape.
Zhang Chulan was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the huge crowd of spectators jumping down from the stands, he disappeared without a word.
"Master Wang, you've received a bribe, wait for me!"
To draw attention away from the enemy, Zhang Chulan shouted something.
Better to die than to die myself; just bear with it and it will pass.
"You bastard!"
Master Wang truly regretted not kicking that thing a few more times.
I regret it!
There was no way around it; this match had been heavily bet, with odds of 73 for both players. Many people had staked their entire fortunes on Wang Ye. Now, with Zhang Chulan's dramatic comeback and victory, those viewers who had placed heavy bets had absolutely no goodwill towards the two players on the field.
Incidentally, Senior Brother Wude was among them...
Taoist priests don't get paid to begin with, and now they've lost their life savings of decades. How are monks supposed to survive?
Meanwhile, on the stands, Yue Qing watched the noisy scene, took out his phone, silently looked at the information notifications on the screen, and smiled slightly.
Hidden Dragon: Master Yue, we've made a killing this time!
Yue Qing: A small profit is nothing; the real show is yet to come!
There was no other way. Taoist priests weren't monks; their lives were hard, and they didn't receive a salary. If Yue Qing wanted to get a foot massage and experience the high life, he would have to resort to some underhanded tricks to earn extra money.
What?
You ask if his conscience doesn't hurt?
What a joke! This was all arranged by the Heavenly Master. It's about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, going with the flow. Don't you understand?
……
Half an hour later, the spectators who had chased after Zhang Chulan and his companion gradually returned to the arena.
After all, it would be a very unworthy thing to give up the duel between the God of War and Zhang Lingyu for the sake of Zhang Chulan.
Moreover, the odds are higher for this match.
As long as Zhang Lingyu wins, with odds of 1:9, not only will we not lose, but we can even make a small profit!
Meanwhile, in the players' tunnel.
Zhang Lingyu looked at the black-robed Taoist in the opposite passage, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down slightly.
at last……
So it's time to fight Senior Brother Yue again?
He wasn't surprised by the outcome of the competition; there was no doubt that he would lose to this senior brother from Wudang.
After watching these matches, Zhang Lingyu clearly realized one thing: over the years, he has improved, and his opponent has also improved. If they both improve, it means that neither of them has improved.
In other words, he is still standing still.
Therefore, instead of agonizing over an inevitable defeat, we should let loose and allow Brother Yue to have a good time.
"Lingyu, don't be nervous. Everyone knows your strength. You absolutely must win!"
Seeing Zhang Lingyu adjusting his breathing, Wu De, who was standing to the side, also spoke up to encourage him.
My remaining savings are all tied up in you. If you lose, I'll really be unable to live the rest of my life.
"Sixth Senior Brother, I'm not worried about losing to Senior Brother Yue Qing." Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu turned to look at Wu De: "I'm just worried that my meager cultivation is not enough to satisfy Senior Brother Yue."
Wu De nodded, but then realized something was wrong.
What are you talking about?
Wu De asked in a low voice, "You can't beat him?"
Zhang Lingyu nodded: "I didn't fight when Senior Brother Yue came to the Celestial Master's Mansion a few years ago."
hiss--
Wu De felt that he might not be able to save his life savings.
He gave a few words of explanation and left in a hurry, looking all sweet and happy, which left Zhang Lingyu looking puzzled.
There's nothing we can do about it; we used to only make small profits, but now we're making big profits.
Wu De suddenly realized that Zhang Chulan wasn't so bad after all.
……
Seeing the two disciples from Wudang and Tianshi Mansion emerge from the contestant passage below, Lu Jin, standing on the stands, also turned his gaze to the old Tianshi beside him:
"Master, I've heard you've been giving Lingyu a lot of extra lessons lately... How is it? How does Lingyu's current skill level compare to my grand-disciple's?"
Hearing Lu Jin's question, the old master paused for a moment, then slowly uttered, "You're already so old, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Putting aside whether Lingyu can win or not, just tell me, kid, how many loopholes did you exploit with Wang Ai this time?"
Ever since Yue Qing beat up Wang Ai and Wang Bing, under the machinations of certain individuals, their competition has, in a sense, become a multi-faceted attack on the Wang family by various capital groups.
Wang Ai wasn't stupid, but the double blow from himself and his grandson had diminished the wisdom of this old man. Upon hearing the news that Lu Jinzhong had bet on Yue Qing to win, this guy immediately poured over a billion yuan into the betting pool, betting on Yue Qing to lose...
A billion or more, that's a lot of money down in the mountains.
But for old people like Lu Jin who came from that era, they knew all too well how astonishing the Wang family's foundation was, given their possession of divine techniques.
Since that's the case, let's go all the way. Old Master Lu called on his friends and secretly brought in the newly promoted Ten Elders, Feng Zhenghao, and with a large sum of money, he also got Wang Ai to invest more than 2 billion.
That's why we have the number 19 today.
Lu Jin did not answer, but instead asked, "Isn't the Celestial Master afraid that Lingyu might develop demonic possession?"
The old Celestial Master looked at the two people in the arena with a smile on his face: "The infrastructure of Longhu Mountain can't always rely on the second and third brothers. This old fellow has to put in some effort too."
