The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 124: Xiao L ⁇ 's Words

Qin Wentian spent the night at the bamboo hut and departed the next morning.

Today would be the second day of Jun Lin's Banquet, and even before the sky became completely clear, one could see the silhouettes of countless people already flooding into Emperor Chu District.

Not only that, Drunken Wonder, the Heaven's Wonder branch located near the Emperor Chu District, was also flooded by people.

In the center of the large hall in Drunken Wonder, there was a large square-shaped table carved to resemble a dragon. Although it looks a bit unsophisticated, it projects a sense of wealth. After all, this is a gambling place.

There were 18 positions currently placed on the dragon-shaped jade table. There are also names written in front of each of the 18 positions. These names were none other than the 18 contestants who had advanced to the second round of Jun Lin Banquet.

Next to the names, there is a board with the betting levels of each individual written there. The chances of obtaining the top nine rankings, top three rankings, as well as the top positions, were all clearly indicated.

“The payout rate for Luo Qianqiu to get the championship is actually only 1:2. With such a small chance, the recognition Wonder Heaven gave him was obvious.I wonder for what reason; why are they putting so much importance on Luo Qianqiu? ”Many people are secretly speculating, but despite the low payout rate, there are still many who bet on Luo Qianqiu, confident that he will get the number one position. However, the lower the odds, the higher the odds.

But there are also different schools of thought. These people speculated that Heaven's Wonder had deliberately set this level of betting to persuade the majority of people to bet on Luo Qianqiu. If Luo Qianqiu was not a champion, the greatest winner would naturally be Heaven's Wonder.

At this moment, two well-dressed young masters appeared next to the square dragon jade table. One of them held a wine gourd that seemed to be filled with good quality wine. Around him, even the crowd was less rowdy, showing an invisible form of respect. This was because this person's status was extraordinary. He was none other than the one who ranked third among the ten prodigies of – Immortal Drunken Wine.

"The rate of payment for this person is very bad." Immortal Drunken Wine shook his head as he smiled, staring at Qin Wentian's name.

On the betting board, it is clearly written that the payout rate for Qin Wentian – if he goes ahead and gets one of the top nine positions – will be 1:4. Should he advance to one of the top three positions, 1:100. And lastly, the most unreasonable payout of all, if he goes ahead and gets the Jun Lin Banquet championship, the payout rate is 1:400.

"Do you think we should bet a little?" The young man beside Immortal Drunken Wine asked.

“Which bet? Top nine, top three, or did he win the championship? ”Immortal Drunken Wine drank his wine and laughed.

The exchange of words between the two of them caused an attractive expression to appear on the faces of the spectators. There were actually people who would bet that Qin Wentian would reach one of the top three positions, and even the Jun Lin Banquet championship? Have they gone crazy?

There was still a glimmer of hope for Qin Wentian to advance and obtain one of the top nine positions. So, there were still some who bet on him. But for the possibility of obtaining the top three positions or the championship, it would only be a waste of Yuan Meteor Stones.

"What do you think?" The young man laughed too.

"i have no idea. You should know that now I can't even drink wine. All that remained were these two extremely small Yuan Meteor Stones. All right, all right, I'll bet them all. Hmmm I'll bet he'll get the championship, I guess. ”Immortal Drunken Wine took two layers of 2-layer Yuan Meteor Stones and placed them on Qin Wentian's behalf in a column indicating that Qin Wentian would get the championship, amidst the laughter of the crowd.

"Eternal Drunk Wine, are you sure you don't want to leave these two Meteor Stones for you to buy wine? They should be enough to get enough wine to last for a few months. ”Someone persuaded, tried to stop him. However, an employee of Drunken Wonder has recorded his bet and given him a token that shows what he is betting on. If he won, he could use this token and exchange it for Yuan Meteor Stones from Heaven's Wonder.

“Alright, I'll bet like this. For Qin Wentian to get the championship, I will bet 100 Yuan Meteor Stones 2 layers; getting the top three position, 100 Lay-up Yuan Meteor Stones, and the 100 pieces of Yuan Meteor Stones for him advanced to the ninth position. ”The young man beside Immortal Drunken Wine laughed, as the crowd around them all fell silent.

300 Pieces of 2nd layered Yuan Meteor Stone, all in Qin Wentian. 100 stones in each column.

"Are you not afraid of losing everything?" Immortal Drunken Wine laughed.

"Why do you think like this? As long as he advanced to the 3rd round, and obtained one of the top nine ranks, I would already kill an additional 100 Yuan Meteor Stones based on a 1:4 payout rate. If he advanced to the top three, I would win by my two bets, my total income would be 10,100 stones; and if he really got the championship, I won everything. At that time, my income was ... ”The young man laughed even louder, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble.

It looks perfect on paper, but with careful contemplation, how could this happen? The chance of Qin Wentian rising to the top three was too small. That is also the reason why the payout rates are that high. How could there be such a profitable thing in this world? Most likely, out of these 300 layered Yuan Meteor Stones, more than half would be wasted. However, what was the status of this young man? How could he take out 300 stones so easily?

"If it matches your prediction, Heaven's Wonder will really cry." Immortal Drunken Wine laughed as he spoke, while the young man beside him had already confirmed the bet with one of the employees of Drunken Wonder. It seemed that the young man was not joking when he actually intended to bet 300 stones on Qin Wentian.

"Wine Drunk Eternal, this friend of yours is really funny." At this moment, a voice sounded. The Eternal Drunk Wine turned its head and looked at Qiu Mo.

"Each to his own. This is my friend's business, so there is no need for you to worry about it, "Immortal Drunken Wine replied carefully.

"Your friend is really interesting." Qiu Mo laughed, "these 300 pieces of Yuan Meteor Stones, I'm afraid they've just gone to waste."

Immortal Drunken Wine also laughed, not intending to continue interacting with Qiu Mo. However, at this moment, the fatty broke through the crowd. Taking out over ten Yuan Meteor Stones, he decisively roared, "I bet!" As he laid out a portion of his Meteor Stone in each of the three betting columns.

“Fatty, I remember you just bet 5 miles yesterday. And today, even though the bet amount is a little higher, to think that you still dare to roar loudly even though the number of stones you bet is low. ”Someone in the crowd laughed. Seeing the shameless expression on Fatty's face, the crowd also laughed.

Fatty was naturally Fan Le. While grinning, he did not seem to mind the noisiness. The most important thing to him was, naturally, to produce more Yuan Meteor Stones. Hopefully, that bastard Qin Wentian will put in more effort and create a miracle for him to see it.

"Fan Le, you might have to save some of these Yuan Meteor Stones for your own cultivation." Qiu Mo said sarcastically.

The expressions of the crowd became even more dazzled after hearing Fan Le's words. Qiu Mo's face turned extremely bad to look at as he snorted coldly. He left immediately after placing a bet on Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue.

"Let's go, Jun Lin's banquet will start soon." At this moment, the people in Drunken Wonder finished their bets quickly and left.

————————————-

The District Emperor Chu. The people from the Royal Capital had prepared a banquet today since the break of dawn. At this moment, the nobles and important guests started to arrive and go to their seats.

Chu Tianjiao's silhouette also appeared once again, sitting on the Azure Dragon Jadeite Chair. The 18 advancing contestants also appeared on the nine towering platforms. Since Jun Lin Banquet would be held once every year, the contestants naturally understood the rules of the banquet.

An old figure standing beside Chu Tianjiao spoke, "Congratulations to all of you who are advancing to the second round of Jun Lin's Banquet. Although you all already know the rules for the banquet, I, this old man, still have to repeat once more. On nine platforms, each contestant can choose to clash against one of the other 17. Those who lost the first clash would be 'challenges' and would be given the chance to challenge the winners. If the challenger lost again, he would be eliminated. But if the challenger won, his opponent would also be a 'challenger.'

“Remember, for those who lost the first battle, they will only be given one chance to challenge others. If they win, they will stay on the platform but can only passively accept the challenges of others. Those who lost for the second time would be eliminated from Jun Lin's Banquet second round. "

“You can freely choose your opponent, but one last thing: if you win the first fight, you cannot find the same person you fought before for the second fight. This was the rule for the second round, and the remaining nine contestants after this would advance to the third and final round of Jun Lin Banquet. "

The spectators were silent, but they all understood in their hearts. Banquet Jun Lin's second half was several times more ruthless when compared to the first.

Rules are set in such a way as to be for the sake of justice. Otherwise, if contestants like Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue were to deliberately target someone, that unlucky fellow would definitely be eliminated. That is why each contestant still has an additional chance to claim victory.

Not only that, the 'challenger' could not be challenged anymore by the contestant who challenged him earlier.

Of course, if two strong contestants joined forces to intentionally suppress one person, that person could only curse his own fate for being unlucky. However, the probability of such a thing happening was extremely low. Most strong contestants would rather take a break on their own platform than do such a thing.

Of the nine towering platforms, each held two contestants.

And the contestants standing on the ninth platform were none other than Qin Wentian and 7th Night.

At this moment, the crowd was thinking: the cultivators Chu and Snowcloud were competing against each other in Jun Lin's Banquet. Although the two countries had conflicts in the past, the Snowcloud planters would not unite to suppress the planters from Chu, right?

After all, this place was the State of Chu.

On top of the fourth platform, Orchon turned his sharp gaze as he stared straight at Qin Wentian.

The hatred he had towards Qin Wentian had boiled in his heart long ago. Now that Qin Wentian had advanced to the second round, his chance to fight Qin Wentian arrived naturally.

However, Qin Wentian's power level was no longer the same as before. As proof of Jiang Xiu's defeat, his strength could not be underestimated. Even Orchon had to be careful when fighting against him.

"Qin Yao, do you want to sit here with me?" At this moment, a voice floated from the seat located beside Emperor Chu's Seat. Xiao L ⁇ suddenly spoke, his gaze on Qin Yao.

"No need." Qin Yao's face slightly changed, becoming somewhat unsightly.

Xiao Lu laughed, insisting. And at this moment, on the towering first platform, Sikong Mingyue turned around, his robe fluttering in the wind. He had a very bright light in his eyes when he saw the figures standing on the other towering platforms.

“i have long heard the famous name of Miss Qin's brother, Wentian.I guess it could be considered my luck to actually meet him in person today. I wonder if there are elites from our Snowcloud Country willing to fight against him, thus allowing me to admire his splendor. ”Slow sound Sikong Mingyue was filled with a sense of serenity.

As his voice faded, confusion and confusion appeared on the faces of the crowd. Although Sikong Mingyue's words sounded polite, the true meaning hidden within them was extremely rude. Not only that, he could not bother dealing with Qin Wentian himself.

But why would he say that? Was there a hidden message in the words of Xiao L ⁇ who spoke to Qin Yao?

Why would Sikong Mingyue want to deal with Qin Wentian?

Although he wanted to 'handle' Qin Wentian, Sikong Mingyue was unwilling to take action personally. Filled with contempt for Qin Wentian, his heart was too proud. After all, in the entire Snowcloud, only he who had the qualifications to share the same name with Xiao L ⁇ – became part of the Duo Prides.

Of course, the relationship between Xiao L ⁇ and Sikong Mingyue was also very deep, like a blood brother!
