Chapter 723: The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat!
Today, Palace Master Gu Yue of Yutian Palace personally stepped forward, which would also cause Yutian Palace and Palace Master Gu Yue to lose face.
“This Eu Yeung, Jinwei, is really sneaky!”
In the midst of the crowd, within the disciples of the Divine Sword School, Gong Qi slightly furrowed her brows, her striking phoenix eyes imbued with disdain.
At that moment, anyone could see that Jinwei’s provocation made Yi Su accept the challenge. Now, when it comes to this bet, Yi Su probably can’t refuse anymore.
“Humph, let’s see how the young boy meets his end!”
In a cold and ominous tone, Kuang Guilan hummed, her eyes shrouded in darkness. She was acutely aware of her daughter’s strength. She observed, understanding that there would be repercussions on the young boy’s future.
Elder Bing Fu, Wang Quande, and other prominent figures from the Sacred Mountain exchanged smiles. Ouyang Jinwei lived up to their expectations. She was indeed one of the most esteemed disciples of the Sacred Mountain.
If Yi Su were to agree to the bet at this moment, when he later loses, kneeling in public would be enough to greatly damage the reputation of Yutian Palace.
And if Yi Su were to refuse the bet, it would be seen as cowardice, but it would also allow Sacred Mountain to save face.
Therefore, at this moment, whether Yi Su agrees or refuses the bet, it would allow Sacred Mountain to regain its dignity, surpassing Yutian Palace in strength.
Listening to Ouyang Jinwei’s words, Old Man Gu Yue and Palace Master Guan Lan frowned inwardly.
At that moment, the only two individuals in the entire field who remained unaffected, their eyes reflecting a subtle coldness, were Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor.
Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor understood Su Yi’s strength better than anyone else. Although Su Yi had never entered the Yuan True Realm, if he chose to act, ordinary cultivators at the first stage of that realm would be insufficient to compete with him. It was likely that Ouyang Jinwei would be crying without any tears for a moment.
As Su Yi gazed at the cold and proud Ouyang Jinwei, his eyes flickered, showing a slight fluctuation. This woman was truly cunning, he thought.
“Do we have a wager? That’s not bad!”
As Su Yi observed Ouyang Jinwei’s cold and haughty demeanor, he perceived a deep cunning and a malevolent nature. Displeased with her, a chill flashed in his eyes, although it quickly extinguished. A subtle smile graced the corners of his mouth as he looked directly at her and said, “How about this? If I lose, I’ll kowtow three times in front of everyone. No problem at all. However, if you lose, my wager is quite straightforward! ”
“Tell me, what is the wager?”
Ouyang Jinwei coldly replied, confident that she would not lose. She was determined to show this young man what it means to have a narrow perspective.
“It was very easy.”
Su Yi smiled slightly, gazing at Ouyang Jinwei with a mischievous look and said, “If I win, you shall marry me. What do you say?”
As Su Yi’s words were spoken, the whole crowd became dumbfounded.
Ouyang Yuanfeng, Kuang Guilan, Elder Bing Fu, Wang Quande, Chu Changhuan, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan, and Old Man Gu Yue were all taken aback, even Xi Wuqing and the Green Emperor were stunned.
“Yi Su turned out to be a man with lustful desires. He was actually contemplating making advances towards Ouyang Jinwei!”
“Ouyang Jinwei is the daughter of the City Master of Central Region City, as well as a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain. Her position and status are not ordinary, and she is extremely beautiful. Countless people have secretly admired her. It turns out Yi Su is one of them.”
“Yi Su is such a brave boy, if he wins, he will gain both fame and fortune!”
Amidst the crowd, a wave of excitement filled the air as conversations flowed. The atmosphere intensified, growing increasingly vibrant as the day progressed.
“So, it turns out he was also a lustful fellow, the notorious Deng Tuzi!”
Among the young disciples of the Divine Sword School, Ying Qianqian’s eyes showed a hint of disdain. It turned out that she had a slight fondness for Yi Su, but now, seeing him daring to resist the Sacred Mountain, her admiration for him vanished completely.
“While he exhibited some promiscuity, he also displayed considerable bravery. He dared to have thoughts about Ouyang Jinwei, which most people would not dare!”
Liu Yunchuan, however, had a hint of admiration in his eyes. There were very few people who dared to attract Ouyang Jinwei’s attention.
In the course of the discussions about her, Ouyang Jinwei overheard everything. Her frigid gaze instantly focused on Su Yi, her eyes brimming with disdain as she derisively remarked, “Does a toad dare to covet a swan’s flesh? Are you even worthy? ”
“The toad may lack the qualifications, yet consuming swan meat remains its aspiration. If it feels too fearful, then it should abandon that dream. ”
Su Yi shrugged lightly and said, his expression tinged with regret. His gaze remained fixed on the curvaceous figure in front of him. You know what? Despite finding this woman annoying, her figure was quite well-developed. It might be enough to make many men drool.
“You…”
Her gaze locked onto Yi Su, as Ouyang Jinwei’s eyes showed a hint of coldness. This young boy actually dared to have intentions towards her. Being openly flirted with like this, if she didn’t make him pay the price today, then she wouldn’t be called Ouyang Jinwei.
From the corner of her beautiful eyes, she caught a glimpse of the fair-skinned young man standing behind her. Observing his calm expression, Ouyang Jinwei stared coldly at Su Yi, her eyes filled with fury. With gritted teeth and a smug smile, she mockingly declared, “Fine, I agree with your challenge. If you win, I won’t say a word. But if you lose, not only will you have to kowtow three times, but you’ll also have to give up your cultivation. Let’s see if you’re as courageous as you claim to be, you little frog!”
“Give up on cultivating his skills, would this Yi Su still dare to accept the challenge?”
“Giving up one’s cultivation, for a martial artist, is probably even more painful than death!”
There was constant discussion, and many people were astonished. The wager was growing bigger and bigger.
For a warrior, kowtowing was a great humiliation.
But to give up one’s cultivation, that would truly be even more unbearable than death.
If he were to lose, he would have to give up his cultivation, putting his own life at stake.
“It looks like Ouyang Jinwei is furious!”
Among the young disciples of the Divine Sword School, Situ Muyang, with his mature and commanding face, slightly raised his clear eyes as he watched the lively scene.
“Yi Su, that boy, is very brave. Now he must be scared.”
Ying Qianqian raised an eyebrow, her eyes showing a hint of mischief. She didn’t like those who were overly flirtatious.
Under the watchful gaze of many eyes, surrounded by countless glances and subtle attention, Su Yi remained calm and composed. His eyes locked onto Ouyang Jinwei, whose gaze was filled with cold mockery. With a soft and gentle voice, Su Yi spoke, “I promise you, if you lose, you will marry me. If I lose, I will give up my cultivation!”
“He really agreed, so brave!”
The crowd was in an uproar. Little did they expect that Yi Su would actually agree.
“This is a bold gamble. Once victorious, Yi Su will rise to great heights, and Ouyang Jinwei’s position on the Sacred Mountain is indeed extraordinary!”
Some well-informed individuals were excited. They had heard about Ouyang Jinwei’s identity as one of the important disciples of the Sacred Mountain, with a significant background.
And if Yi Su were to win and truly marry Ouyang Jinwei, he would have the chance to rise to great heights in the future.
“Brave as can be!”
Ying Qianqian spoke, her eyes filled with disdain.
“Why are you so excited? Could it be that you have a crush on Yi Su?”
Gong Qi whispered softly into Ying Qianqian’s ear, with a gentle smile.
“What are you talking about? That kind of pretentious person is not as good as that guy, Su Yi,” Ying Qianqian retorted, casting a disdainful glance at Gong Qi.
In the middle of the scene, as Yi Su and Ouyang Jinwei both agreed to that bet, the atmosphere suddenly underwent an imperceptible change.
Elder Bing Fu showed no trace of emotion. It turned out that this young Yi Su was a promiscuous person. If he were to lose, he would lose his cultivation and become a potential threat to the Sacred Mountain, which would be resolved.
Although Sacred Mountain didn’t yet fear a young boy, being able to eliminate a potential threat in its early stages is always a good thing.
And if Yi Su were to win, it would prove his natural talent and extraordinary strength.
Ouyang Jinwei was an important disciple of Sacred Mountain, but if they could manage to have this young boy join Sacred Mountain, it would be a win-win situation.
No matter the outcome, Elder Bing Fu knew in his heart that this calculation was advantageous to him. Whether the young boy emerged victorious or defeated, the result would be in his favor. A faint smile crept across Elder Bing Fu’s face, hidden from sight.
Of course, Bing Fu knew it well in his heart. How could Ouyang Jinwei possibly be defeated? That was absolutely impossible. It was likely that this time, Yutian Palace would suffer a huge loss of face!
“Son, this is asking for trouble!”
On the other hand, Kuang Guilan had been showing a cold gaze all along. This was an excellent opportunity, a chance to seek revenge on her own son.
The young man with long light blue hair remained calm and serene, quietly observing everything, giving a sense of mystery.
As for Chu Changhuan, his eyes sparkled with curiosity, showing great interest throughout.
“Okay, indeed, it requires a bit of bravery!”
Ouyang Jinwei gazed at Su Yi. With a graceful wave of her slender hand, the guards of the City Master’s Residence withdrew, creating a spacious open square in the center.
Su Yi’s graceful steps carried him forward, while Ouyang Jinwei’s body moved with elegance as she slowly approached the stage. Her face remained cool and proud as she fixed her gaze upon Su Yi, saying, “Come on!”
“Be careful!”
Seeing this, Old Man Gu Yue’s voice whispered softly in Su Yi’s ear.
Su Yi nodded respectfully towards Old Man Gu Yue, understanding that he was expressing his concern and reminding him.
After bowing, Su Yi turned around and let out a soft breath, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.
“Ouyang Jinwei, among the younger generation of Sacred Mountain, seemed to possess extraordinary abilities. Let’s have a battle!”
Stepping forward, Su Yi lifted his gaze. Amidst numerous gazes and the hidden aura all around, he slowly walked into the center of the stage.
At that moment, Su Yi discreetly curled his hands into fists, a slight clench revealing his excitement as an indomitable battle spirit arose within him.
“It’s about to begin; a dark horse, a third-stage Soul Tamer, and Ouyang Jinwei from the Sacred Mountain were about to have a battle!”
The entire crowd was filled with anticipation. Without a doubt, this battle was enough to capture the attention of many onlookers.
Yi Su’s reputation had already spread throughout the Central Region city, causing a buzz and a stir.
Undoubtedly, Su Yi has emerged as the most formidable dark horse in the Saint Martial Assembly this time.
While many may be unaware of Ouyang Jinwei’s reputation, there is a considerable number who recognize it.
Ouyang Jinwei, a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain, is rumored to occupy a prominent position among the younger generation of Sacred Mountain.
The designation “direct disciple of Sacred Mountain” alone attests to her strength.
One was a formidable dark horse that arose during the Saint Martial Assembly, while the other was a leading figure among the younger generation of Sacred Mountain.
