330: That's the thing.
"Jie jie jie! Brother Yun, what courage! As expected of you! I, Su, admire you! How do you want to compete?"
Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Never mind how we compete. If I win against you, Liu Su Su is mine. Do you agree?"
Yun Cang didn't care about the content of the competition at all, because he felt he would definitely win!
Most importantly, after he won, Liu Su Su had to go with him!
Otherwise, wouldn't he have competed for nothing?
"Alright, if you can win against me! Susu is yours!"
Su Xuan smiled charmingly.
Seeing this, Yun Cang glanced at Liu Su Su and found that she didn't show any expression of dislike. Instead, she gave him a meaningful look.
This immediately made Yun Cang overjoyed.
"Holy crap, Liu Su Su's gaze! Could it be that she's actually interested in me too?"
Yun Cang thought a lot in an instant, then readily agreed to Su Xuan's challenge.
...
"So... that's why you sold me out?"
The scene shifted, and a cold female voice rang out in front of the bruised and swollen Yun Cang.
The newcomer's dark skirt swept the ground, her ink-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, tied into a high bun with a gilded chi-patterned hair crown, and a Nine Phoenix Holding Pearl Hairpin was slanted in her temple. The tail feathers of each Phoenix bird were adorned with flowing Moon Luster Stones, emitting a faint cold light with her movements.
Her brows were like distant mountains, her eyes slightly upturned, and her pupils were a rare amber color, now covered with a layer of frost. Her thin lips were pressed into a sharp arc, gripping the Ice Soul Soft Sword at her waist so tightly it creaked.
Yun Cang's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the fierce Sword Intent surging around his Dao Companion, Nan Zhaoxue, and fine cold sweat seeped from the back of his neck.
"Zhaoxue! Listen to my explanation! Listen to my explanation!"
Yun Cang raised his hand to pull Nan Zhaoxue, but she dodged him by turning sideways.
The latter looked at Yun Cang with icy eyes, filled with endless coldness and killing intent.
Yes, in that battle, Yun Cang lost, and he lost terribly.
He proposed a one-on-one wager to Su Xuan, and the two of them even went onto the arena, just short of signing a death pact.
But what was the result? Su Xuan's strength exceeded his imagination. He couldn't even clearly see Su Xuan's figure before he was directly slapped away by Su Xuan.
Such terrifying strength directly made Yun Cang doubt his life. He never imagined that Su Xuan possessed such terrifying power!
Looking again, he saw his subordinates looking at him with guilty expressions. He knew he had been tricked!
Later, Yun Cang realized that he had been tricked! His bastard subordinates had actually deceived him!
Su Xuan had the strength to instantly kill a Great Sage, yet these damn guys didn't tell him? And he, a fool, actually went to challenge Su Xuan to a one-on-one fight?
Now it was over, he had forgotten everything. He lost the wager, and Nan Zhaoxue was to be lent to Su Xuan as per the agreement!
Yun Cang didn't need to say much to know what this so-called 'lending' meant!
It couldn't be that Su Xuan wanted to borrow Nan Zhaoxue to help him with Alchemy, could it? Absolutely impossible!
Didn't he understand men's little schemes?
He didn't plan to hide this from Nan Zhaoxue, because the events of that day were recorded by both parties with a Memory Stone, so even if he tried to argue, it would be useless!
Rather than that, it was better to honestly tell Nan Zhaoxue what happened, and the two of them could discuss it together...
In short, this time, Yun Cang was utterly humiliated. Although in the end, he did punish those Great Sages to vent his anger.
He certainly didn't dare to kill them. A Great Sage, no matter what, was a top combat force of a Holy Land. If he casually killed them, the loss would be huge!
Moreover, he didn't have the right to kill them. Although these people currently obeyed him, they were actually his good father's subordinates.
Murong Yu and Xing Wu Jiu, who were present at the time, saw Yun Cang being instantly killed. Those two old foxes also immediately changed their attitude, compensating Su Xuan with a large sum of resources and apologizing to Liu Su Su.
So, in the end, he was the only one who became a clown!
Of course, what Yun Cang didn't know was that the reason Su Xuan didn't use the same methods against those two was simply because they didn't have fiancées like Nan Zhaoxue!
Otherwise, did they think they could get away unscathed by just paying a few resources? Absolutely impossible!
"Explain? How do you want to explain? Explain how you used me, your fiancée, as a wager for a woman?"
"It's one thing that you used me as a wager, but you also lost... and you were instantly killed in one move!"
"How could I, Nan Zhaoxue, have such a useless fiancé like you? How embarrassing!"
Nan Zhaoxue was furious! Her engagement with Yun Cang was originally for profit.
In terms of talent and strength, Yun Cang was completely inferior to her!
And because she was getting older, her father was worried she wouldn't marry and kept pressuring her, so she simply got engaged to Yun Cang.
Originally, her fiancé was supposed to be Lu Chen, but Luo Qingxue didn't agree, so Yun Cang was chosen.
But this useless Yun Cang, before even marrying her, lost her as a wager to Su Xuan?
Who the hell was Su Xuan? She had never even heard his name, never even met him, and she was sold out by Yun Cang like this. How could she not be angry?
Of course, what made her even angrier was that Yun Cang lost, and he was instantly killed in one move, losing in such a humiliating way. This was something Nan Zhaoxue could not accept.
Hearing Nan Zhaoxue's words, Yun Cang also hung his head in shame, not knowing what to do.
He was now in a dilemma; whether he agreed to Su Xuan or not, he had already lost face tremendously.
"What a waste! Getting engaged to you was the worst decision I've ever made in my life!"
Nan Zhaoxue looked at Yun Cang's useless expression and directly kicked him down.
Such a useless person, she wondered how she ever took a liking to him? How did she so foolishly get engaged to Yun Cang?
Although it was just an engagement and they hadn't done anything, it was truly embarrassing...
She was already from the previous generation, considered a bit of an older 'leftover' woman. She found a fiancé just so people wouldn't look at her strangely, using him as a shield, but she was ruined by Yun Cang like this.
"Zhaoxue... I... I'll go find my father. As long as he steps in, it can definitely be resolved!"
Yun Cang said.
The fear Su Xuan instilled in him had not disappeared. He still remembered how Su Xuan effortlessly defeated him!
It was at that moment that Yun Cang knew his Heart Demon had formed, and he would live under Su Xuan's shadow for the rest of his life.
"Find him? Are you still not embarrassed enough about this? Do you want to tell the elders in the family too?"
Nan Zhaoxue said with a cold gaze.
"Then... then what should I do..."
Yun Cang looked wronged.
