975: The protagonist's gamble

Everyone's gaze at this moment was like searchlights under the night sky, with their bright beams falling upon Moyun!

"Du Xingchen, what kind of trick are you playing now?!"

Moyun saw that the Divine Hall people, who were originally looking for trouble with Du Xingchen, suddenly focused their gaze on him, and his eyes became somewhat gloomy and uneasy.

Facing the protagonist's questioning, Du Xingchen remained silent.

Having taken a step back, he had entered spectator mode.

"Little brother, holding onto someone else's things and not giving them back is very bad behavior." Miao Gouer glanced at Du Xingchen, then turned to speak to Moyun.

"I don't have what you want on me!" Moyun's tone was cold.

This arrogant voice, however, made the expressions of the eight Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies beside him become even more impatient.

"Kid, be smart and hand over those things! Your Captain Du Xingchen has already agreed to give us the things, what are you, a small fry in the team, jumping around for?!" The one who spoke was a Man with a fierce face from the Linshan Country Royal Family Prodigy team.

The moment these words fell, Moyun's expression became even gloomier, and his clenched fists audibly cracked: "How can someone like Du Xingchen be worthy of being my Captain? Your words are simply ridiculous!"

Such an answer made others once again cast surprised glances between Du Xingchen and Moyun.

Du Xingchen shrugged helplessly and looked at Miao Gouer beside him: "Senior, look, after we gave him all the gains, he is now thinking of taking the gains from the inheritance Secret Realm and leaving alone to start his own faction."

"Heh, you are quite interesting." Miao Gouer chuckled with an unclear meaning, then her tone gradually turned cold: "Since your teammate is so insensible, this Lord will go and get it myself, you won't have any objections, right?"

"Of course, I have no objections, those were originally what you Seniors should take away!" Du Xingchen nodded affirmingly.

This straightforward attitude, on the contrary, revealed confusion in Miao Gouer's beautiful eyes.

She had always thought that this was just an excuse Du Xingchen, this little guy, made because he didn't want to give her that good stuff.

She didn't expect that on this matter, the other party would even show great support.

Could it be that there was truly a conflict within this small group?

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't impossible.

After all, the good things in the God inheritance place were tempting even to powerhouses of her level, let alone these Students.

The possibility that the guy named Moyun in front would have greedy intentions and want to take the things and leave on his own was indeed not small.

Of course, it was also possible that Du Xingchen only took out a portion of the good things and gave them to Moyun, and they were both acting like this the whole time, waiting for them to get Moyun's Storage Bags, but the real good things were actually not much!

If that were the case, their Linshan Country Royal Family would not continue to be so easy to talk to!

With these thoughts, Miao Gouer looked at Moyun, no longer hesitating...

"Bang~" With a wave of her hand, a silk ribbon on her body was like a snake's scorpion tail, and the moment it pierced through space, it instantly wrapped a large area of shadow and arrived above Moyun!

The next moment.

"Boom~" This piece of silk cloth suddenly spread out, the withered leaves on the ground were suddenly swept away by the cold wind, and the silk cloth itself was like a net of Heaven and Earth, sweeping down and covering Moyun with a roar!

The methods of a Grand Sage Master had completely surpassed the ability limit of a normal Soul Card Master.

This was just a casual move, and it was not something any first-stage Soul Card Master could contend with!

"Damn it!" Moyun clenched his teeth tightly, and before the attack arrived, his metal Martial Soul had already been forced out!

Vaguely, the fourth dark card also showed signs of being forced out!

"Qingxie Dasheng, Moyun is just a Student, isn't what you're doing a bit like bullying the weak?" Dean Eboer suddenly stood in front of Moyun at the critical moment, and in his resonant voice, a raging river of water also vaguely drifted around him!

The moment the river water phantom roared into existence, the attack unleashed by Miao Gouer was easily neutralized.

Eboer had reached the Peak of Grand Sage Master with the assistance of the God inheritance power. In terms of actual strength, he could almost be compared to Jiangshan who had not yet advanced to Supreme, and could even gain some advantage!

Therefore, easily neutralizing Miao Gouer's attack was not a problem.

Behind Eboer, Moyun saw the Dean who had stepped forward, and his heart couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Miao Gouer's expression on the opposite side, however, completely sank.

She turned her head to look at Du Xingchen and questioned: "You are all in this together, aren't you?! You say it nicely that this Lord can act freely, but when this Lord actually makes a move, you send someone out to stop me!"

"You fundamentally don't want to give those things to this Lord, is it necessary to direct and act out a play?"

Miao Gouer, who already had some doubts about this situation, felt her mood completely filled with negative emotions after seeing the Cloud Rain Great Saint who came out to stop her.

In her opinion, this was a poorly acted drama by Du Xingchen.

"Senior, you are wronging this Junior." Du Xingchen saw the Dean who came out to vouch for Moyun, and his tone became even more relaxed: "The Dean is not someone I can command, he and Moyun were originally in this together, otherwise, Senior, do you think Moyun alone would dare to swallow so many good things?"

The meaning of Du Xingchen's words was very significant!

Since the Dean chose to step forward at this time, he might as well completely tie this old guy and Moyun together, killing two birds with one stone!

It was also after hearing this explanation that Miao Gouer's emotions stabilized a little.

Du Xingchen then waved his hand behind him.

Two Grand Sage Masters stepped forward: "Young Master."

These were the two Grand Sage Masters brought by Jiangshan City.

"You assist Senior Miao, and make sure to help Senior Miao retrieve the Storage Bags from Moyun! This incident is indeed an internal issue of ours, and we cannot let Senior Miao take the risk alone."

Waving his hand and letting two Grand Sage Masters step forward to help, this attitude of expression directly calmed the anger in Miao Gouer's heart.

Looking at the two Grand Sage Masters and Du Xingchen beside her, and then at Dean Eboer of Yunyong Academy in front, Miao Gouer did not choose to attack again.

She had naturally heard of the name Cloud Rain Great Saint. Relying on the three of them as Grand Sage Masters would at most be on par with the other party.

At this moment, the Royal Family's Supreme was also not nearby, and they had no other external support.

For a time, there was truly nothing they could do about Moyun.

But to say they would temporarily let go was also unrealistic.

If the other party ran away, it would be too much of a loss.

"It seems you want my Storage Bags." Moyun had also understood the purpose of these people from everyone's conversation at this moment, and he spoke with a cold face, breaking the silence between the two sides.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Moyun said again: "How about this, since you Grand Sage Masters cannot determine a winner among yourselves, let us Juniors decide the ownership of the Storage Bags!"

While Moyun's tone was serious, he stepped forward: "Let's make a bet."

"You send out a Soul Card Master who is similar in age to me and also at the Four-Star level. If I lose, the Storage Bags are yours!"

"And if I win." Saying this, Moyun's gaze fell directly on Du Xingchen: "I want Du Xingchen to cripple his Martial Soul, and you are not allowed to covet my Storage Bags again, and you must let me leave!"

After the protagonist Moyun's words were spoken, Du Xingchen felt his mouth twitch as the routine felt familiar.

Perhaps this was the problem of being the protagonist's direct enemy.

Being targeted was always this unreasonable and direct.

"Hmph! Why should we bet with you! And even bet the Captain's Martial Soul, it's simply nonsense!" Behind Du Xingchen, Liangcai Sword retorted, unable to accept it.

"That's right, those things were originally ours, you stole them, and now you're talking about conditions when you hand them over, Moyun, how can you be such a person?" Sun Yingying, who had originally admired Moyun a little, also spoke with disdain.

Du Xingchen did not speak.

He looked around.

Those who refused and were unwilling were the few teammates around him.

As for the Linshan Country Royal Family side, they were instead eager to try and more or less agreed with Moyun's suggestion.

And in the next moment, among the Linshan Country Royal Family Prodigy team, the Captain Iron Snail, who had a shiny bald head, spoke first: "Du Xingchen, this matter is due to your poor management, the problem lies with you, and you should indeed bear the consequences of losing the bet."

"But you don't have to worry, I will arrange for Xiao Qi to go on stage. Xiao Qi is a Four-Star Soul Card Master at the Peak, backed by our Linshan Country Royal Family, her foundation and strength are absolutely strong among Four-Star Soul Card Masters! She even fought against a Five-Star Soul Card Master for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn without falling behind. Just let Xiao Qi beat this guy half to death and then take the Storage Bags back."

"The bet will definitely be won, you don't have to worry about the consequences of losing."

Clearly, Iron Snail was still very confident in the strength of his teammate.

Xiao Qi, who was called out, was a young girl, with her arms crossed, yellow hair draped over her shoulders, wearing some inexplicable jewelry on her hands, nose, and ears.

Combined with the leather clothes that were at the forefront of the era in this World, her overall appearance made it difficult for people to ignore her for a short time.

When she looked at Moyun, she also showed a look of disdain.

In her eyes, this guy was completely an unknown little guy.

His strength was even only at the Four-Star Soul Card Master mid-stage level, how could he pose a threat to her, a top Four-Star Soul Card Master who could threaten a Five-Star Soul Card Master?

The bet match proposed by this guy was completely giving away the Storage Bags!

"Why bother Sister Qi with this kind of bet? I can completely handle it." A Man in leather pants next to the leather-clad yellow-haired girl spoke lightly.

In the entire Linshan Country Royal Family Prodigy team, everyone had a scornful and amused expression.

They hadn't expected Moyun to come up with such a brainless suggestion.

"No, what if you lose? How can we rest assured and put the Captain's future in your hands?" Wen Xiucheng looked displeased at these Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies beside him.

"We lose?" The Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies seemed to have heard something ridiculous: "You, this guy, think before you speak, from what angle would we lose?"

The Huang Fa Nü called Xiao Qi also sneered: "Don't use your pitiful strength to measure the strength of our Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies, even if we are in the same Realm, we are not people from the same World."

"You!" Wen Xiucheng and Liangcai Sword felt their anger rise upon hearing this.

"Alright." Du Xingchen spoke to interrupt when everyone was about to start arguing, and then looked at Moyun: "We accept this bet!"

Looking at a normal plot, the bet proposed by the protagonist, as long as the villain touches it, will ultimately end in complete defeat.

Du Xingchen naturally thought of this point as well.

But he still agreed.

It wasn't because he was stubborn and knew there was a big pit but still jumped in.

The reason he dared to agree was because... he had just obtained something good from the System.
