73: Ninth Prince

At the same time, the group from the Myriad Treasures Trading Company stared at the scene, dumbfounded.

One of the men in the team immediately said, “I didn’t expect someone would dare to steal business from our Myriad Treasures Trading Company.”

“Young Miss, I’m going to step away for a moment.”

“Mm.” At this moment, Liu Lingyi, who was at the very front of the team, was looking around for something.

Hearing the man’s words, Liu Lingyi merely nodded simply and paid no more attention.

The man, having received permission, immediately left the team and started a betting booth in the crowd.

Relying on the Myriad Treasures Trading Company’s reputation, the man instantly attracted a large crowd, even affecting Li Yang, who was also running a booth.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just an unknown nobody; how could he compare to the credibility of the Myriad Treasures Trading Company?

“But it should be enough!” Li Yang weighed the Storage Pouch in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

In fact, Li Yang, including the white-robed man from just now, were all people arranged by Li Xiangyun.

After all, making money is not shameful.

And to prevent being discovered, Li Xiangyun specifically arranged for Cultivators who had joined the Li family later.

As for the name Li Yang, it was also changed after he joined the Li family.

Subsequently, Li Yang and some other people began to create chaos in the crowd, placing bets at other bookmakers, specifically betting on Li Xingyan to win!

And those people clearly didn’t think highly of Li Xingyan, offering high odds without exception.

Especially the Spirit Beast Sect, which offered an absurd eleven-to-one ratio.

However, Li Xiangyun did not arrange for people to bet too much, mainly fearing that if a fight broke out later, the Spirit Beast Sect would not honor the bets.

But for wealthy and established entities like the Myriad Treasures Trading Company, which could not run away from their reputation, Li Xiangyun instructed them to bet heavily!

Anyway, the Myriad Treasures Trading Company was spread across the continent, so he wasn’t afraid that the Myriad Treasures Trading Company wouldn’t honor the bets.

At the same time, on the high platform.

Wei Tiangang looked at the scene and suddenly said, “Ice Peak Zhenren, are you interested in making a bet?”

“Oh?” Li Xiangyun immediately became interested, “How do we bet?”

Wei Tiangang chuckled, “I heard that Ice Peak Zhenren has a Disciple named Li Xiner.”

“If our Spirit Beast Sect wins, let her marry Feng’er. From then on, all animosity between us will completely disappear.”

“If we lose, how about I give Ice Peak Zhenren a bottle of Beast Spirit Pill?”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyun instantly understood Wei Tiangang’s meaning.

The so-called bet was merely a pretext; his true purpose should still be to win him over, thereby forming an alliance with the Li family and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Such a bet might be excellent for others, with a good outcome regardless of winning or losing.

If he lost, he could ally with the Nascent Soul-level Sect, the Spirit Beast Sect.

If he won, he could obtain a bottle of Medicinal Pills that could enhance the Cultivation of Golden Core Cultivators.

But unfortunately, he was Li Xiangyun.

Firstly, he would not use his Disciple as a bargaining chip for a marriage alliance.

Secondly, he also did not want to ally with the Spirit Beast Sect!

Therefore, Li Xiangyun refused without hesitation, “Dragon Scale True Person must be joking; how can a Disciple’s happiness be used as a bet?”

“I also have a bottle of Profound Spirit Pill; let’s use that as the bet!”

The Profound Spirit Pill is also a Medicinal Pill that can enhance the Cultivation of Golden Core Cultivators.

It was also the Medicinal Pill Li Xiangyun usually used for Cultivation, and its quality was one Rank higher than the Beast Spirit Pill.

After all, what the System produces must be a premium product!

Hearing this, Wei Tiangang was a bit awkward, but he didn’t immediately get angry; instead, he smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, then so be it!”

It could only be said that Wei Tiangang, as a Sect Master, still had some self-control. Even if he was very displeased at this moment, he would not show it.

Li Xiangyun naturally knew this, so he quickly changed the subject.

Just then, a ray of colorful light suddenly flew from the sky, revealing a flood Dragon pulling a Nine Dragon Golden Light Carriage behind it.

The carriage glittered with golden light, overflowing with colorful radiance, and was inlaid with various precious gems, making it impossible to look away.

“The Nine Dragon Golden Light Carriage, are these people from the Great Zhou Imperial Family?”

“No wonder they dare to be so arrogant, directly flying through the air.”

Someone recognized the origin of the Nine Dragon Golden Light Carriage and couldn’t help but be surprised.

It was clear that they hadn’t expected this three-year agreement to attract even the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

Subsequently, under everyone’s gaze, a man in luxurious attire stepped down from the Dragon carriage. His appearance was extraordinarily handsome, and he was followed by four stunningly beautiful women.

It made people involuntarily swallow their saliva.

“So it’s the Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxing; no wonder he’s so flamboyant.”

“Fellow Daoist, what do you say?” someone asked.

The person replied, “Haha, it is said that his mother was someone Emperor Yongchang met when he was young and adventuring outside.”

“Therefore, in terms of maternal lineage, he is the lowest, and in terms of talent, he cannot compare to the Third Prince.”

“He has no hope of inheriting the throne, so he naturally spends his days in revelry.”

“I see, thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

“No need to be polite.”

In the high sky, ignoring the discussions of the crowd below, Zhou Jingxing looked around. Seeing that the battle had not yet begun, he couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.

Then he said to the middle-aged man beside him, “Fifth Imperial Uncle, it seems the duel hasn’t started yet, let’s wait~”

However, Zhou Tianming, who was called Fifth Imperial Uncle, merely glanced at Zhou Jingxing dismissively and then proceeded to the high platform on his own.

Zhou Jingxing didn’t feel embarrassed by this and chuckled, preparing to return to the Dragon carriage.

But unexpectedly, as he turned around, Zhou Jingxing inadvertently looked in the direction of the Li family.

With just one glance, he felt as if his heart had been stirred.

So, without hesitation, Zhou Jingxing headed straight for the Li family’s direction.

“Two beautiful ladies, I am Zhou Jingxing, greetings.”

Zhou Jingxing came before Li Xiner and Li Muwan, greeting them with what he considered a graceful demeanor.

However, before Li Xiner and Li Muwan could speak, Wang Ning was the first to say, “Scram!”

A cold voice, carrying a majestic Aura, rose up, bringing an extremely strong sense of oppression.

The Li family members looked at the young man brought back by the Old Ancestor in surprise, inevitably somewhat astonished.

If it were merely a Cultivation at the Peak of Qi Refining, it wouldn’t be enough to move them.

But coupled with the Body Refining Realm of the Nascent Origin Realm, it was enough to shock them.

After all, being able to reach this Realm in both Body Refining and Cultivation at this age could only mean that the person in front of them had excellent talent.

Zhou Jingxing’s gaze flickered for a moment, then he suddenly laughed and said, “Alrighty~”

Then, he turned and left.

However, after only a few steps, he turned back again, but this time his target was not Li Xiner and Li Muwan.

It was Wang Ning… “Brother, are you interested in making a friend?”

Zhou Jingxing leaned next to Wang Ning, grinning playfully.

Wang Ning was slightly stunned. In fact, after he uttered the word “scram,” he had already prepared to trouble Ice Peak Zhenren again.

He just didn’t expect things to change so quickly.

And through Zhou Jingxing’s performance, Wang Ning also realized that this so-called Ninth Prince of Great Zhou was not as simple as the world claimed.

At least, he was not a foolish person.

Therefore, since this so-called Great Zhou Prince wanted to win him over, why should Wang Ning refuse?

He just happened to be in urgent need of resources for his Cultivation now…
